Find Out The Benefits Of Virtual Dedicated Server Hosting Over Shared Hosting

October 27th, 2009 by Hosting Guru · No Comments

By far the most cost effective way to get your website on the internet these days is to use what is called shared hosting. Shared hosting is where a net hosting company rents you a certain quantity of disk space in which to store the files that make up your website and allow you a certain quantity of bandwidth (ie. the data transfered between your site and your guests browsers) in exchange for a monthly fee. Typically speaking, the more you pay the more web space and bandwidth you will be given.

I’ve been on a shared host for a long time because it’s all I really needed.  My friend is a programmer and is use to using lots and lots hosting for clients, etc…  He told me that he has a dedicated server for a lot of his websites - because it really keeps everything clean. Check out Google Sniper by  George Brown and Mafioso Marketing 2 by Rhys Davies.

You never know what someone else has done on that same shared host.  I’ve heard horror stories of sites that put in a ton of money for marketing and the site went know where on the SEO side, because it had sites on the same shared host that did blackhat stuff.  NOT GOOD!

New Sharepoint Hosting…to me at least!

June 11th, 2008 by Adam Maywald, Editor · 1 Comment

I was perusing the web, as I usually do everyday, and found this new sharepoint hosting service.  Turns out, they’re not so new and have been around for a while.

If you’re not familiar with Sharepoint, here’s a little excerpt from WIKI:

 SharePoint is a web-based collaboration and document management platform from Microsoft. It can be used to host web sites that access shared workspaces and documents, as well as specialized applications like wikis and blogs from a browser. SharePoint does not intend to replace an entire file server (e.g., an imposed 2 gigabyte file size limitation). SharePoint functionality is exposed as web parts, such as a task list or discussion pane. These web parts are composed into web pages, which are then hosted in the SharePoint portal. SharePoint sites are actually ASP.NET 2.0 applications, which are served using IIS and use a SQL Server database as data storage backend.

Obviously, all they really want to do is make sales.

Expired Domain Names

March 12th, 2008 by Kristina Choi · No Comments

If you want a quick boost of traffic to your site, you might want to consider getting an expired domain name.  What is an expired domain name?  It is simply a domain name that has been abandoned by its original owner.  This happens for a variety of reasons, with the most common being lack of funds or interest in the domain name.  Either way, many expired domain names are already indexed in search engine results thanks to the marketing efforts of the previous owner.  Search engine bots do not take into consideration that there is no longer a website associated with it.
