Start your own directory
The web has lots of crappy web directories that are here one day and gone the next. There are also a number of good, quality directories that do stick around and provide exceptional services to their customers. If you’ve got the notion of starting up your own web directory, I’d hope that you plan to invest a lot of time and money into making it a successful venture.
One of the first things you’ll need to do before you start your directory, after purchasing your domain and setting up hosting, is figuring out what kind of directory script you want to use. Do you want a free script or a paid script? Are you interested in PHP directory scripts, or something more compatible with a Windows-based server? Deciding this is of the utmost importance because once you’ve gotten going, switching over to another platform will be real pain.
Free directory scrips can work out just great, depending on your needs. If you need more advanced options and support, then you may want to seriously consider buying a paid script with the options that you need. But before you go out and buy one, check to make sure what kind of server you’ve got with your host to make sure it will be compatible with PHP, ASP, or whatever scripting language you end up using.
