Are You Planning A New Website?

There are points that have to be taken into consideration before you make your final choice of the internet hosting company for your website. What kind of a website is it going to be? It can be a business website, private blog or affiliate marketing website. At this point, your main priority is picking a first-class web host. This is your first step towards success.  Without a good host an inexperienced website owner will encounter plenty of problems. The entire process of getting your website up is not difficult, once you obtain a reliable internet service provider.

You Need To Have These Webhosting Features:

First of all, a worthy web host provides 24 hour customer service and technical help. This is a very important factor to consider. If your website goes down in the middle of the night for over consumption of bandwidth or any other reason, your web host will notice it and will get your website up and running quickly. Any downtime in a website can severely affect business. It is very important to prevent such unhappy occurrence. For a business oriented website, having a 24 hour customer service available is, by far, the most important factor.

There is another important factor to consider – existence of the graphic interface. One of the examples of graphic interface – cPanel, control panel. It’s a point-and-click platform that is easy to operate. You can see a picture of cPanel at the beginning of this article. An excellent hosting company will have video tutorials explaining how to accomplish numerous tasks: file transfers, computer backups, email handling.

A fine web host allows you to subscribe to upgradable plans. If you are just starting a website, you do not need to start with an expensive plan. You can always upgrade to a different plan when you need it. You have to control your expenses.
The hardware quality of good web hosts – not an easy problem to approach. Nobody will admit that their hardware is not the best on the market. Sometimes it takes time to select the right hosting company. The quality of the servers makes tremendous difference in the loading speed of your website. Choosing a good web host with minimal server downtime and high bandwidth with a fast connection can often result in an increase in web traffic.

Picking a quality web host will prevent many problems in the future. Sometimes great web hosts have forums and solid communities where the users share their experience and help each other.

I recently found out that Cybercrime profits are higher then profits of illegal drug trafficking. According to president Obama, there were 8 billion dollars stolen from Americans only in the last 2 years.
Last year the price of repairing hijacked consumer systems has risen to 11 billion dollars.

How Protected Are You From Cybercrime?

I know I was not protected at all. I have been a Norton Security user for the last 10 years. I thought I was protected. You can imagine how surprised I was to find Trojan viruses and several others on my personal computer.
Some of the viruses I found on my computer were: Trojans, Sobig, Sasser and Kama Sutra.

Trojan spy program is designed to steal sensitive user data and to manage the victim’s computer system remotely. It is an executable file. It has only 470 bytes – not a significant amount of space to occupy on your computer. The damage it can create is devastating. After your computer is hijacked, it becomes a tool in the criminal’s hands.

Why cybercrime continues to thrive today? Eugine Kaspersky

Evgeny Kaspersky, a known cybercrime authority, says that we need better Internet Regulations. In his opinion, individuals need Internet Passports, businesses have to have accreditation.

Would it help if internet anonymity ceased? If every computer, every person and every company was identifiable a lot of problems could be solved. Online dating experience could be more rewarding if men and women were identifiable. There could be much more trust between people, if everybody could be identified.

On the other hand, being totally identified could trigger various dangers for single people, for example, for older people and for children.

If it was your choice, would you rather have an Internet Passport?

There are plenty of web hosting companies that provide free service. They range from the larger ones such as goddaddy.com and hostgator.com to the smaller and more unnoticeable ones that mill around in the corners of cyberspace. First time when you start thinking about it, it seems that free web hosting is a bargain and is great for you: a web hosting company accepts your domain, letting you earn income and carry on your business without any costs attached. Nevertheless, let us take a look at the implications, advantages and disadvantages of utilizing free web hosting.

Free web host providers are in general supported by advertisements; banner ads, pop-up ads, text link ads, top/bottom ads, frame ads – typical for free web hosting websites. The appropriate question is: do you want these ads to be displayed prominently on your website? The answer is really in what you intend to use your website for.

A business internet site, one designed to appeal to clients and attract clients would unquestionably not want these ads impairing not only their commercial enterprise image, but effectively aiming clients, fed up by the pop-up junk. Even for a personal blog, these ads can at times get on your nerves. Are couple of bucks a month that you save worth the frustration and annoyance of continuous promoting appearing on your internet site?

Dependability and uptime are keywords in the web hosting industry, of which complimentary web hosts tend to lack both. Free web hosts usually lack a dedicated customer service. This entails that your website might just disappear in the midst of the night and it can take very long time for it to come back online. This means a loss of
e-commerce visitors, hits, and possibly some regular visitors may believe that your site does not exist anymore. The consequences for a website, particularly a business website, are inconceivable.

Does this mean that there is no role for free web hosting for a serious website?

The role of free web hosting is not to replace paid option, but preferably to assist in experimenting, be a testing basis for newborn website owners. Free web hosting allows the website owner to get an idea of the website, and to allow him to try out new ideas with no consequence. Hosting a site on a free web host, even for merely a week or two, allows the web owner to accumulate test data without signing a 12 or 24 month contract with a paid service. It is a great temporary option for the website owner.

You can find free web hosting at almost any reputable supplier accessible on the internet. A quick look up in Google will easily turn up 100s of free web hosting providers. How do we select the most effective complimentary web host? Compare the quantity of ads that will be run on your website, as well as the amount of space available for your website. This can range from anywhere between 50 mb to 700 mb. With the numerous alternatives available you can take your time to pick which free web hosting program suits you the best. Ultimately, if you are moving on to a paid service, the free web host you choose is not of crucial importance. However, getting a good free web host is beneficial for your website publicity.

Your own domain gives you flexibility in terms of using it for monetization. Would you like to earn money on internet? First step into online world is registration of your own domain name. It could start you on your way to financial independence. Everything depends on you, you are the boss.

What is considered a ‘good domain name’? A domain name that has short recognizable words, preferably one word, relevant to the content of the business it represents. A domain name can contain several words. In this case, a hyphen should be used.

At this point in time it is rather hard to find one word for your domain, as public internet is a quarter of a century old and the best names are taken. The first domain was registered in 1985.

Websites can be registered privately in order to keep the owner’s name private. Otherwise, the owner’s personal name is listed and displayed in directories. I always exercise my ‘register by proxy’ right.

OK, you are ready to register your very own domain name. Where and how do you do it? There are many registrars. My favorite is godaddy.com. The company has been around for quite some time, reliable, has excellent customer service and the process is fully automated and painless. All you need to do is go to the website FREE Private Registration with your domain at GoDaddy.com
and select appropriate options on the screen. Watch out: select options that you want, otherwise you will pay much more then you need to.

Good to know: after you registered your domain, you need to wait up to two days until the process is complete and your domain goes thru all necessary internet points.

I know, you are bursting with ideas and your hands are itching to start clicking. Good luck with your new domain!

Now you are ready to select your new web hosting service. We will discuss it in the next couple of days.

Today is the day I’ve been waiting for quite some time. Dr. Joe Vitale released a free digital version of his new book ‘Attract Money Now’.

As per Joe Vitale: ‘no matter who you are or what the situation. It’s the seven-step formula that I used to go from nothing to something — and you can use it, too’. He used to be homeless. When I think about it, I get goose bumps. This is the person who’s books I read and cherish, the person I have great respect for.

Dr. Joe Vitale gives us this book free of charge because he wants to help.

I wrote this little article for the same reason: I want to help as well and I believe that it is possible to obtain whatever goal you have in your mind.

I am writing to let you know that I have been diligently working on my new blog ‘Computer Secrets Busted’ and it is ready for your attention.

This is my first blog, but not the last one. I am a software developer/technical writer and webmaster outside of TBD (during the rare moments that I am not TBDing).

I write about computers, blogging, blog monetizing and home business.

Home business – is a very special subject for me as I have always been on a look out for a legitimate one. People that are thinking about starting home based business fall victims to scammers very often. So far I know about 2 scams that are active right now. I also have information on how to start a home business and not to be scammed. I did. And I will share my knowledge and experience.

The main purpose of my blog – to speak about problems people are having while using computers. I will help to find solutions to these problems. I will have a list of free software that is recommended by authorities like www.pcworld.com and other reputable sources.

In many cases, I will write about my personal ‘computer escapades’, solutions I find to eliminate problems and the lessons I learn. I get information about new products from Google and Microsoft ( I do not work for these companies). Not too many people are aware of the fact that Google has incredible quality and quantity free software products. From time to time I will review Google products and I will keep my reviews current.

Another favorite subject of mine – gadgets. I admit, I am a freak. I am not sure I ever had fun in a toy store when I was little. But you can not get me out of my local Best Buy store. I will write about gadgets as well.

I am still coding the blog. It’s not perfect yet. On the other hand, I suspect I will try to improve it for as long as it will be online. Meanwhile, it’s out on the Big Web. I invite you to subscribe to my blog Computer Secrets Busted It will open another channel of communication – common interests do bring people together.

TBDers encouraged me to start my blog. I thank you for that.

Hugs,

Alla
