III. Procedure in starting Internet Business

Online business must have a network connection or connectivity between your computer and the Internet, a network, or another computer. A network is a group of computer systems that are connected together. Sometimes a computer is connected to a local area network (LAN) which connects computer systems that are close together, such as in one room or on one floor of a building. A server controls most of the networks. With Network Connections, you can gain access to network resources and functionality, whether you are physically located at the location of the network or in a remote location.

Small Internet and Computer Services Business should have Personal Computer (PC) Server and PC Clients.

Server – a computer that carries out clients’ requests. It is the main computer or device on a network that manages network resources and handling network files, printers, database, and other devices. Servers are often dedicated that they perform no other tasks besides their server tasks.

Client – an application that runs on a PC or workstation and relies on a server to perform some operations.

There are different network connection types. The most commonly used by Small Internet Café Business are Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connections or broadband provided by Internet Service Providers (ISP) companies. Some are still using Dial-Up connections with subscription plans.

IV. Hardware Requirements for Network Connections

Depending on your configuration, you may need some or all of the following hardware. If you need money to cover the costs of some of these, try to see how much you could get with a car title loan.

1. Network adapter with a Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) driver for LAN connectivity;
2. One or more compatible modems and an available COM port. A 56k modem or Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) adapter if you are using an ISDN line;
3. DSL or cable Modem, typically connected to an Ethernet network adapter;
4. Analog telephone line; and
5. A multi-port hub/adapter, which may improve performance for multiple connections.

V. Selecting your Internet Service Provider (ISP)

An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a company that provides Internet access to other companies or individuals. An ISP maintains connections to other networks and ISPs, acting as a router for Internet traffic between a customer’s computer and any other machine also connected to the Internet anywhere else in the world. ISPs can provide access to the Internet in many ways. Most ISPs in the country are into subscription plans and provide good packages for home use and small businesses.

If you are looking for internet providers for your cafe then it’s essential to choose someone that can offer a good speed and high bandwidth connection for multiple devices to to connect to your cafe’s wifi, start reviewing the best business internet providers in your area over at Theme Scene.

    The traditional Brown leather jacket is distinguished by its simplicity and ability to fit in with anything you wear beneath. This is not to say that this specific kind of jacket is dull or uninspired; far from it.

    Hardware specifications are out of date and overpriced. This is the ideal specs, for the time being, which can run modern games like DOTA 2, LoL, BF3, and the likes:

    AMD A6 6400k/7400K
    A68 FM2+
    4GB DDR3 1866Mhz
    1TB 7200rpm SATA
    18.5″ LED

    1 complete set including peripherals (keyboard, mouse, cables, avr) costs more or less than 15k.

    Printers are cheap, you can get 1 with CIS for 5k.
    Webcam is really optional, 500 each if needed.
    You don’t need to have 1 UPS for each PC, 1 for server is enough.
    LAN Cables CAT5e/6 costs more or less 10/m, RJ45 is 5/piece
    AIO Printers already have scanners so no need to get another one.
    You don’t need to pay for anti-virus software, AVG gives it for free and it’s pretty good.

  59. I was talking this over with a friend. Should the monthly rent and monthly employee wage be considered in the initial investment?
    .-= Every Peso Counts´s last blog ..Becoming Rich by Finding a Mentor =-.

    • Usually you need to pay for a deposit and a few months advance payment to your landlord before you sign a contract… so yes you need to consider this type of “rent” in your startup capital or initial investment… but the monthly rent is considered as an operational expense. For monthly employee wage it is an operational expense not a startup expense unless you want to curve one month salary for your employees in advance… so no matter what your first month’s income you still have cash reserves for salary.
