How to create a LP???? (15)

---

Yes, I'm new to popunder!

I see everybody talking about making prelander, anyone has a good tutorial to get started?

I've never created my own Prelander before, only worked with email traffic in the past.

Thanks!

Hello,

the best you can do is to get a spytoll and rip some landing page first and study it. Right now, you probably don't know what makes a good landing page, what to put on it, what should it look like etc ... If you try to build it yourself, it will be like walking blindfolded, you will most likely fail at it. Learn form the others, then make it better.

Best spy-tool right now is adplexity according to my opinion.

Yes, I'm new to this!

I see everybody talking about making prelander, anyone has a good tutorial to get started?

I've never created my own Prelander before, so I'm totally lost! I only worked with email traffic in the past.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply!

I was thinking more like, where to host etc?
Already created a free adplexity account, so I've found a few prelanders I want to try.

I'll read the links though! thanks again.

You can host them on a VPS or Dedicated Server - people here use beyondhosting, vultr, digitalocean ... there are many hosts so pick some on your own. Do not go for shared hostings like hostgator, bluehost etc ... you need a fast host, not the cheapest one

In case the LPs do not use server-side scripts, you can also use a CDN, here is a tutorial for you : http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...-Cost-Way-Ever!

Thanks!

I've had a look at the different suppliers, for hosting, but damn there is a lot of options...

Which one would be a good fit for a rookie?

What kind of traffic do you plan to run actually? The required plan will depend on the volume. So for example, if you choose POPs, you will get 1000's of visits at a low cost. If you decide to go for banners, it will be way less visits.

In case you are gonna start SLOW, I would pick the $10 plan and upgrade as needed. I'm sure even the $5 vultr plan could handle some traffic, but I personally don't like to pick the lowest configurations

I picked a dedicated server from Namecheap, 84$ a month, does that sounds expensive for a newbie?

---

I think 84$ a month is a lot when you are new, or is that the price to get started?

---

Im not sure about namecheap, I always thought they are just a registrar and not specialized in hosting. Looking at their plans now, I don't even see a 84 per month plan, which one did you pick actually?

And yes, it's too expensive for a newbie - if i'm not wrong, beyondhosting has some basic package at about $30-40 per month and that comes with full support and they are a proven affiliate-friendly company.

And those cloud solutions from vultr or digitalocean are even cheaper, I'm not a server guy tho so don't want to give semi-correct recommendation. Let me ask some more qualified people to come around.

If you will be hosting landers only 20/mo vultr should be sufficient. But again as @matuloo mentioned this depends a lot on the traffic volume you will send to those landers. Most pop traffic sources will not have an option to limit the traffic bursts per second which makes it kinda impossible to predict how much traffic you will get at any given second. The 20/mo vultr for an example should handle some 10 - 15 hits per second or a little over that ( That is if only landers are on the server if you only have static landers this number increases a lot but I do not have avg numbers for that. Will test and get you more info if you need those results. PM me if you need some numbers on static landers only for 20/mo vultr ).

Keep in mind that vultr is unmanaged host so you will have to setup the web service ( php if you will be using that for landers ). You may use their LEMP stack which is pretty easy to set. It will installed MySQL/MariaDB which is not needed normally for landers so just ignore that service. It is recommended to get someone to set only what you need on the VPS though nginx/php only if you do not need MySQL/MariaDB but still if you do not have system administrator in the team the LEMP stack should work.

If you do not have the experience to manage the server or/and you do not have system administrator to do that for you it is better to go with a managed service @maltoo already mentioned an option for that.

As for the dedicated server you mentioned 84 is normally a good price for a dedicated server. However it will be probably an overkill to test landers only. If it is managed service NameCheap offer you may go with that so you do not have to setup the services on the server yourself.

It is important to get CDN intop of those landers. The easiest one to use is CloudFlare so you may want to use that as well. There are other options of course but not all of those will be as easy to setup as CloudFlare which is also free and can be used for DNS service along with the CDN ( you do not want to run DNS service on your server ).
