What is WordPress?

2017-04-08T20:22:00.002+02:00

WordPress is an open source website management and building tool. Open source means that it wasn’t just made by one / a set of developers, it can be added to by anyone who has a good idea and knows how to build it. That’s partly what’s great about WordPress, because it’s constantly evolving with new and better features. There’s also a wealth of plugins to choose from to make your website look better or be more functional - as of October 15’, there are 40,000+ plugins with 1,000,000,000+ total downloads.

The most popular plugins help with SEO, analytics, selling (ecommerce) and page speed, with new and better plugins being developed daily. This makes WordPress a great place to build a website, your website will be great today and great throughout the future, and it doesn't cost any extra on top of hosting costs!

Wordpress is a brilliant tool for building a website, but it can be slightly confusing if you're not familiar with the process of building a website yourself. You can find yourself somewhat overwhelmed with the options and tools, it's certainly a lot more confusing than a drag and drop website builder, due to the fact that it's WYSIWYG based (what you see is what you get). Your changes can't necessarily be seen in real time, making it slower to work / progress with.

Unlike other types of website building software, the templates with WordPress are mostly paid, certainly if you want a good looking, original design. If you opt for a free template, it can be quite obvious that you have held back on expenses whilst building the site, painting it in a worse light, especially if you stick with the default option.

If you are computing inclined, you can edit the HTML of the website you are building, which allows for super customisability (that is if you know what you are doing!). WordPress is special in this aspect because on a few other website building services it isn't possible to play with the root code of the website, which is sometimes a vital feature for the more serious webmasters.

It's likely that you've used a WordPress site before, as 19% of the world's websites are built and depend on WordPress. (That's 75 million!) Now is the time to get involved!

How Does Cloud Website Hosting Work?

2017-04-05T20:50:00.004+02:00

How Does Cloud Website Hosting Work?

Actually, the real cloud website hosting solution serves different web hosting services such as web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on independent hosts of top-quality web servers. Each single service group generates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing apart from it. They will all work as one single web server, sharing the service's load in nearly equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a disk space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will produce the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The huge cloud web hosting deceit. Very popular at the moment.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting these days. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is highly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widespread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting suppliers" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting business niche there are no statutes at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such supervisory body. That is why the website hosting companies speculate and lie blatantly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they actually can offer.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting companies

If a cPanel-based web hosting merchant has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite unbelievable, loads of servers have to be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this story. First off, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting trader to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, due to the fact that devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a professional staff are not an issue, a lot of money has to be invested as well. Heaps of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast downside.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting platforms. There aren't any open source hosting Control Panel interfaces (operating with the cloud website hosting solution) either. So, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, first of all you must build one. In-house. In the second place, you have to create the website hosting CP as well.

One server-based CPs

Modern website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are devised to function on one single web server only. All web hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on a single web server where these specific single-server web hosting systems and CPs are set up.

The lack of open source Control Panels

So, you must create a custom website hosting Control Panel that will run unproblematically and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent component of it. Appropriate instances of custom manufactured cloud web hosting platforms with custom manufactured CPs besides us, at 101 Ultimate Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision charges

The minimum contribution demanded, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another $15-20,000. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting solutions can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!

What Precisely are Virtual Private Servers?

What Precisely are Virtual Private Servers?

If you are running a heavy resource-absorbing website with an ever-expanding number of visitors, page hits and file downloads, but cannot afford a dedicated web server to cope with the expanded load, then explore our cost-effective VPS hosting.

The VPS Hosting Solution Clarified

How Do Dedicated Hosting Servers Work? + Dedicated serverhosting (USA)

2017-04-05T20:46:00.000+02:00

How Do Dedicated Hosting Servers Work?

Corporate web pages, social networks and video sharing web sites are very famous and heavy web portals that demand lots of system resources to perform. The more viewers a web page is having concurrently, the more resources will be demanded to cope with all the requests from the customers' web browsers and to process them. Therefore a dedicated server would be the optimum hosting platform for such portals.

With a Dedicated Server - All of the Resources are for You

Buying a dedicated server implies that you get an entire hosting server at your disposal. As opposed to the hosting services or the VPS hosting platform where you share a web hosting server with a given number of other users, with a dedicated server you can utilize all the resources for your web pages' demands.

Dedicated Server Hardware Equipment

There are diverse hosting server configurations that you can get. They vary when it comes to the hardware specs they include - processors, RAM amounts, hard disk drives, network interface cards, but they may also include a monthly bandwidth restriction. For a highly visited web site, or if you desire to host lots of web sites on one single web server, you may consider a more avant-garde architecture.

Running Dedicated? How Much? That's the Question.

At 101 Ultimate Hosting we supply an array of configurations to meet the requirements of every customer - from a small server for one web page to an extremely avant-garde architecture that can handle very heavy portals and thousands of visitors at any particular moment. The central processing unit and data space quotas and the database connections can be confined solely by the server hardware itself.

Dedicated Hosting - Advantages and web hosting CPs

One important advantage of the dedicated hosting over a shared hosting package is that you are granted full server root privileges, so you can install any software program that you wish. Some electronic commerce shopping cart software applications, for example, need extra software that cannot be installed on a shared server as it would influence all the users on it. With a dedicated server, you have full freedom to install anything. You can manage the web hosting server either by availing of the SSH network protocol, or via a web hosting Control Panel GUI. Here, you have an alternative again. You can make use of a web hosting CP supplied by the website hosting company, or you can use your own one. Some well-known website hosting CP interfaces are Hepsia, cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin and H-Sphere. Most web hosting Control Panel interfaces are licence-free (Hepsia), while others (cPanel) demand a monthly licence tax to utilize them.

Turn Your Dedicated Hosting Server Into a Money Making Machine

Together with the option to host your very own domain name, a dedicated server offers you the chance to establish your own personal website hosting firm and to offer web hosting plans to other people. Various website hosting Control Panel GUIs come with a hosting reseller admin software supplement, so if you get an invoice transaction & client support solution such as WHMCS, AWBS or ClientExec, you can kick off your hosting business, creating an array of website hosting packages for your future clients. You can also offer support to your customers directly, and, since you have complete root-level access, you can install software applications on demand, so your clients will be satisfied with the service they get.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

We also provide an additional paid administration service. Our system administrators will aid you with any predicament that you may have with your dedicated hosting - an OS update, a script activation, a troubleshooting operation, or any other complication that you may stumble upon.

A dedicated server - the Paramount Website Hosting Environment

A dedicated server is the extreme website hosting solution if you seek an avant-garde and reliable web hosting service without worrying about exceeding any quota limitations. Whether you will host your own portals, or you are a site designer with multiple customers and need storage space for your work, or you desire to make some decent money by reselling the web hosting server disk space to others, a dedicated hosting server will give you the autonomy that no other website hosting solution can.

Top 10 Reasons to Have an Ezine

2017-04-01T00:26:00.000+02:00

Establish yourself as a trusted expert. People search online for information and will look to you, as a subject matter expert, to provide it to them. Every week (or whatever schedule works) provides an opportunity to build on this, while reinforcing your brand.
Build a relationship with the people on your list. It's common knowledge that people like to buy from people they like. By using ezines to connect with readers in their homes, you can develop a relationship of familiarity and trust. Be sure to share a little about yourself or your company in every issue, whether it is an anecdote, event, or employee spotlight.
Keep in touch with prospects and clients. Consideration should be given to eventually developing two ezines: one for prospects and one for clients, as each require different information. This is a great way to notify your readers of weekly specials or upcoming product launches, offer new articles or customer stories, and provide links (or urls) to updated FAQs, blogs and splash pages.
Drive traffic to your website or blog. As noted in #3, remember to call attention to new blog posts or other changes to your website with links directly to those pages. Remind readers of your online newsletter archives. Promote special sales (maybe with discount coupon codes only for subscribers) with a link to the sales page. Use links to turn your ezines and newsletters into 'silent salespersons'– driving traffic to your website and building your lists around the clock.
Build content on your website. Make a habit to adding your ezines and newsletters to your website in an archive area. This serves a several important purposes:
- Visitors can read an issue or two to determine if your ezine will be of interest to them, which could help to increase sign-ups and potential sales.
- If you optimize your article placements, you will not only make your website 'meatier', but you'll also bring new traffic from the search engines.
Get feedback from your readers. Make it easy for you to stay in touch with prospects and customers and vice versa. Ask them to take action and comment on your articles and offers. Conduct polls and surveys. Start a 'Letters to the Editor' column in your ezine. Feedback allows you to fine tune your messages, target your marketing, and expand your product line. It's also great for relationship building!
Develop an information product. If you deliver your newsletter once a week and include two articles, at the end of a year you'll have 104 well-researched articles in your portfolio! Pick the best-of-the-best and turn them into a bonus ebook for opting-in to your list, submit to download sites to build your list, or sell in PDF-format!
Grow your mailing list. Let your ezine subscribers work for you. Be sure to remind your readers that it's okay to forward your newsletter to anyone they'd like. In addition, it's important to include sign-up instructions for those who received your ezine from viral marketing methods. A simple line titled, 'Get Your Own Copy of XXXXXX', with a link to your squeeze or opt-in page is all it takes!
Gather demographic data. By offering surveys, feedback forms, and niche reports, you'll be able to get valuable information about your prospects and customers. Learn what makes your readers tick, how to better serve them, and how to give them what they want. Make sure they become repeat customers!
Save money! All of the above benefits of publishing an ezine are free or almost free. The small cost of a top-rated ezine publishing system is nothing compared to the cost of brochures, business cards, advertising, direct mail, pay-per-click or other means of promotion. Not only that, but someone has to manage that production! Because your newsletter is delivered online, you can grow your list to be as large as you want without worrying about the expense. Bottom line − it's proven that email marketing is the most cost-effective marketing solution for companies just like yours!

15 Tested and Proven Ways to Build Your Subscriber List

2017-04-01T00:22:00.000+02:00

A list of engaged subscribers is one of the most effective and reliable marketing resources. A good list so valuable that it can’t be bought. Why? Because when subscribers sign up for your list, they’re signing up to hear from you and your company. Subscribers have to be earned. What are the best ways to build a list? We’ve collected the top 15 to share with you today.
The permission model allows you to fill your audience with people who are genuinely interested in your brand and what you have to say
With information collected during sign-up (or later), you can precisely segment your list and design your email communication to suit your reader's preferences.
As you attract qualified leads, you’ll be able to guide them through the decision-making process by aligning content to specific buying cycle stages.
Take a look at the 15 tips we’ve collected to help you build your email marketing list:

Offer quality content. Nobody gives up their email address for free. If you want to build a valuable relationship and engage your audience, you need to provide content that is worthwhile and interesting.
Put sign-up forms on every web page. Your sign-up form should be everywhere your potential subscribers are. Make sure it’s visible and easy to fill out.
Use social media to collect email addresses. Integrate your sign-up forms with social media platforms. Driving traffic from multiple sources allows you to build a strong email marketing list much faster.
Design your sign-up form carefully. Ask only for information you plan to use. A good rule of thumb is that less is more — the shorter the sign-up form, the higher the conversion rate.
Show your privacy policy. Inform your readers that you will not share their personal information with third parties. A clear privacy policy helps you build trust and convince visitors that it’s safe to subscribe.
Show samples of your content. Let your subscribers know what they are signing up for. Use your older content samples to “sell” the email sign-up.
Include a call to action. Put a call to action in your submit button, e.g. Sign me up! This makes the sign-up process more engaging and improves the conversion ratio.
Give away freebies. Think of a relevant incentive for your audience (e-book, infographic, whitepaper) and provide it for free.
Ask subscribers to share. Take the time to prepare valuable, shareable content. Remember that putting the social share buttons is not enough; you still need to ask your subscribers to use them.
Build a content distribution strategy. Producing great content is only half the battle. Make sure it’s visible to the right audience. Define who your ideal audience is and find out where they like to congregate online. Then choose communication channels accordingly.
Publish landing pages. Create a squeeze page where visitors can download premium content in exchange for their email address. A dedicated web page helps users focus on the call to action and increases conversions.
Include testimonials on your landing page. Social proof helps build trust toward a brand and its products. Use testimonials from satisfied customers to help visitors make a decision.
Blog regularly. Great content brings more traffic. Develop a realistic content publishing schedule and stick to it.
Guest post on popular blogs. Publishing your content on other blogs is a great way to build relationships with other bloggers in your industry and introduce yourself to new people. Include a backlink to your blog, and your blog’s search rankings will go up.
Collect email addresses at offline events. Be ready to collect email addresses at trade shows and conferences. Ask for business cards or use the Forms on the Go app to instantly add people to your list.

It’s time to get started.
Now you know a handful of great ways to build one of the most effective marketing assets — your email marketing list.

Magento SEO: Guide to Better Optimize Your Magento Website

2016-06-26T23:36:00.001+02:00

Magento is an outstanding e-Commerce platform with inbuilt SEO. Initially, during its release there were no written rules or step-by-step guide for Search Engine Optimization in Magento. It was basically developed as a search engine friendly platform and the updated current release is 1.2.1. To implement it properly, first the most recent version should be employed followed by the enabling of Server URL rewrites, which is found under System-Configuration-Web-Search Engines Optimization. The following are the Magento SEO tips that can guide to better optimize Magento websites.

WWW vs. non-WWW version: WWW is known as the secure version and non-WWW is the unsecure version. Below the secure or unsecure options you can locate the base URL and position the preferred domain. This function will permit you to choose among WWW and non-WWW versions. At this moment you can set the favored thing without altering the redirect from WWW to non-WWW or either way. After which you can produce a 310 redirect through .htaccess with mode_rewrite. This action will also check Magneto from accumulating the SID query to your URLs. Always confirm that the Base URL matches the redirect. Put in the index.php to the root when you are editing the .htaccess file. Just about line 119 use the following code:

Use the following code if your Magento install is not found in the root, conversely in the sub-directory http://www.mydomain.com/magento/:

Header Settings: The default title of the Magento install is "Magento Commerce" always. Are you looking for augmenting quality traffic to your Magento platform? Then you need to remember the following steps:

* It is advisable to keep your keywords next to your page title as Search engines lay emphasis on the early words or the words that are nearer to the page title. This will increase the chances of more likely clicks by people who search for result pages.

* Initially you should eliminate the default title "Magento Commerce". To get rid of the default title, go to Configuration => Design => HTML Head.

* Choose a comprehensive & pertinent title for your site. This particular title will be employed by many non-content pages without any custom title. Few such pages are "Contact Us" page, "Popular Search Terms" and more.

* You also have an option of using “Title Suffix” to include the name of your store to all the page titles, products and categories. It is advisable to keep the Prefix empty for the above stated reasons.

* Following which you should keep “Default Description” and “Default Keywords” empty. For all applications ensure that “INDEX, FOLLOW” is set up and for other non-production environment set “Default Robots” to “NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW” to avoid indexing of the site.

* This is the right time to add new canonical tag for optimizing your web-store pages. For developing your Magento SEO, you can fix the Canonical URL’s for Magento Module to adjoin them to your head.

* It is also desirable to take away the empty Meta’s from your code by installing Yoast MetaRobots Module. At times Magento converts non-set Meta robots into a Meta tag in the following style: . This might end up in certain strange behavior in the search engines.

CMS Pages: CMS (Content Management System) is an exceptional management tool for your business and it lets you to make content alterations. CMS pages are fixed pages such as About Us page, Home Page and Customer Service pages that give information about your web store and these pages are generally managed through the backend panel. These pages are complete pages that are accessible through their own URL address.

Category optimization: Magento grants you the power to add the name of categories to path for product URL’s. As Magento do not support this functionality well, it forms duplicate content issues and it is a good thought to disable this function. For implementing this, go to System => Configuration => Catalog => Search Engine Optimization and set up "Use categories path for product URL's to "no".

This is the right time to set the particulars for each category. Go to Catalog => Manage Categories. The most imperative fields are:

Meta Description: Place an eye-catching description here. Remember that your visitors will see the explanation in the result listings of the search engines.

Page Title: It is good to keep this empty for using the category name including parents’ categories. At the time of customizing it, the title will look exactly like your input, without the presence of the parent category..

URL Key: Strive to keep a small but keyword rich URL. It is good to eliminate stop words like "the", "and", "for" etc. Make a note that you can put this only for all store views and for a multi-language store, you are required to keep it language independent.

For each and every store view you can denote the Name, Page Title, Description, and Meta data. This is a special feature for multi-language stores.

Products optimization: Products pages optimization is similar to Categories. You can put the Meta Information for each "Store View" and the "Default Values". Also notice that the "Meta Title", will overwrite the whole page title including categories except title prefix/suffix, and not only the name of the product. Generally, the images will be renamed to the product title, alt tags and titles by default. You can change the alt tags and titles for each and every product image. This can be done for every specific store view also.

Magento Template Optimization:

Optimized Blank Template: The default Magento coats like "Modern Theme”,"Default Theme", and "Blue Skin" do not perform well in the use of headings. From the view of SEO there is a lot of scope for development. A Blank Magento SEO Theme, depending on the core Magento Blank Theme is developed for your ease.

Headings: The default logo is an h1, and this should only appear on the front page, apart from this page, all other pages should be no more than an h3. The significant factor is to obtain the title of the content in an h1 tag. For example a category page should have the category name and for a product page it should have the product name. Next to this you should clean up the excess usage of headings.

It is recommended to eliminate the usage of header in the side columns. You can also make the text pertinent to the store (ie. include keywords). There is no basis for adding "static" and keyword less titles with an h4. For example it is good to alter all the h4 tags in div class="head" to strong tags. This is the best time for content optimization. Place the category name in an h1 and the product names in an h3 at the category pages and set the product name in an h1 on the On product pages.

Clean up your code: In general the CSS and JavaScript pages doesn’t contribute anything beneficial to Magento SEO for which the JavaScript and CSS pages located in your template files are to be shifted to external CSS files and JavaScript. This aids in keeping your templates clean and it ensures that your users can acquire those files on the first load and ease the search engines from downloading the same every time.

Aim for speed: Speed is the most noteworthy factor that directly contributes to visitor’s traffic. The two notable things that can be done to enhance your Magento install’s speed are:

Facilitate caching. Go to System=> Cache Management and enable the caching features.

You can significantly increase Magento’s speed by using PHPopcode cache and MySQL.

These Magento Search Engine Optimization tips will help in optimizing your Magento website.

• Experience- this factor plays a very important factor while looking for the best web design company. A web design company with years of experience is undoubtedly competent in understanding customer needs and requirements, rendering relevant solutions. Experience helps in honing expertise that directly impacts productivity. A web design company rendering services like Application development, SEO, brand building, etc for years should be kept on top of the list.

• Service portfolio- always make sure to check a web design company’s service portfolio. Go through the range of service packages provided by the company along with their expertise level in every domain of web designing. The richer the service portfolio of the company, the better the chances of receiving multifarious web design solutions under a single roof.

• Methods of working- checking on the workflow as well as the work procedures followed by an apparently best web design company will save you from the unnecessary worries and troubles. Those companies following unorganized and complicated workflow will demand your presence, delaying web designing and development projects unnecessarily. Talk about their working methods and go with systematic and simplified one. This will save your time and money, ensuring timely submission of assigned projects.

• Reputation- gauging out the reputation of a web design company is probably one of the trickiest tasks. Get ready to do a thorough research on the selected companies to know more about their company profile along with their market reputation to reach to a decision. Go through the company website, check their clientele and accomplishments and don’t miss out on their client’s feedback. Or simply search over the internet to find information about the company through online forums, communities and groups. Never trust a web design company without checking its credibility.

• Cost effectiveness- this is another important factor that goes into selecting the best web development company. It is vital to measure the cost effectiveness of the company’s web design solutions. Check whether your investment is worthy or not and for that you can even ask for quotes. Compare your needs with the company quote to get cost effective web design solutions at competitive rates.

The above mentioned points surely would help you to find the best web design company. But you should also invest your foresightedness to determine the suitability of a web design and development company that will build your dream website.

Fake Facebook Fan Pages READ! WARNING!

2016-06-03T10:45:00.000+02:00

So lately have there been so many fake fan pages for big companys like IKEA. Self about people have been told time to time by news papers and even the news in TV that they are out there and they are fake they still jump in with both legs and share their post about where you can win eg. 40 mins in an IKEA and take all you want for free all you need to do is to like the page, share the post and comment. ALL THIS IS FAKE!

So how can you see if its fake ? Well there is different ways that you can see the page is fake.

But when the page have not even close to 5000 likes you should probl consider its fake.

This happening lately in Denmark where we have home and lets just say it like this, IKEA DK have 88.000 likes on facebook and have the brand approvment by facebook it self. To show you what that means we will include a fake page and a real page by IKEA where you can see wich one there is approved.

Opening a webshop using Wordpress / Woocommerce

2016-06-02T13:38:00.000+02:00

There is so many types of open source E-commerce softwares out there, but the question is always what to use. Well we hope to help you on the way with this post on what we think is best and why. So read this post out and learn more about what is what and why.

Why Woocommerce / Wordpress ?

Wordpress and woocommerce give you so much more functions also since its webshop and blog meeting each other in one CMS. Wordpress themes are also so much easier to make it look like you want it to look, not only because you have all the coding in your admin panel that you can change at any time you want but also most wordpress themes comes with a theme admin panel and also comes with WPBakery Visual Composer plugin that help you setup every page you have with no problems at all.

Compared to other ecommerce's ?

We don't say that other open source CMS's are bad, they are just not as easy to work with as wordpress and Woocommerce. I've personally been working with different once and i have always gone back to woocommerce. But other CMS's have something good that woocommerce do not have at all. eg. Prestashop have a CMS that works really well with search engines so you can gain more traffic just from that, but that also take you know a lot about how to use META and other search engine related things.

What if i go with Woo?

Well if you go with Woocommerce would it be a really easy start for you. All you need to do is to install Wordpress and then find the woocommerce plugin that is made by woothemes.

Then you might ask where to find a good theme and fast hosting if you dont wanna make your own theme and want hosting to a good price. Well we have been test9ing so many themes for wordpress trough my time here at the hosting blog and so far have YITTHEMES made the best woocommerce themes

Hosting is easy to find, but its not easy to find something good to a good price. We find 101ultimatehosting.com the best to the price so far. They give you all the space and traffic a month for as low as 3.44 Dollars a month. They give you up to 5 datacenters to pick from so your website will be close to your costumers and the speed is 2.5 Gbit/s

We hope this post could help you on the way to your next shop and to start your company. If you feel like we left something out then comment below and we will reply as fast as possible to your question.

Cheap and GOOD VPS for your money and project!

2016-05-23T11:36:00.001+02:00

Lately we had to make a new project where we just needed a smaller VPS. we searched around to find a really cheap VPS and we really found it. We found Time4VPS where you can get a VPS server from 1.99 euros a month.

Time4VPS is unmanged servers so you have to do everyting your self beside installing the OS of the vps server and any sort of panel for the hosting. We find this host a really great one and cosidering the small amount we pay a month for the server is the server speed and connection amazing and we wonder how a company can work with such a small price on its servers.

We would 100% recommend Time4VPS to you that is about to start a new project like a website or a game community since a vps also can host game servers.All trough they have the option to install Counter Strike 1.6 on the server from the hosting panel.

The post goes on under the image.

Time4VPS have 5 packages you can chose from where the cheapest is 1.99 and the most exspensive is 15.99 euros a month. We have will show the 2 packages down below this text.

Small Plan

Dedicated CPU: 1x 2,40 GHz
Ram: 1024 MB
Storage: 40 GB
bandwidth: 1 TB
Backup: Daily, weekly

Buy now at 1.99 Euros/ Month

XL Plan

Dedicated CPU: 4x 2,40 GHz
Ram: 8192 MB
Storage: 320 GB
bandwidth: 8 TB
Backup: Daily, weekly

Buy now at 15.99 Euros/ Month

This is the smallest and biggest plan they get and they are both perfect for what ever project you make and much cheaper if you make a project on a budget. I have to say no matter what is it not many hosting companys that can give what you get in XL plan to only 15.99 many would take more like 50 euros for that.

We hope that you guys enjoyed this little article about Time4VPS and hope it was usefull for you that wanna start a new project. We would love to hear what you guys have to say to this and if you order what you think about Time4VPS and you can do that in the comment area of this posst!

101ultimatehosting.com new KVM VPS plans

2016-02-27T12:28:00.000+01:00

lets start out with and say you can get the KVM 1 plan for a limited time only for one dollar the first 3 months (3 dollars in all)

Take advantage of state–of–the art website hosting at a reasonable rate with the Linux KVM VPS packages from 101 Ultimate Hosting. Our company provides top server protection, with at least one full backup per week. Our servers also provide incredible hosting conditions for all of your websites with dedicated CPU allocation and SSD data storage. An array of OSs is provided.

An enterprise-grade virtualization

A kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) virtualization

What most server virtualization techniques involve is a ‘middleman’ between the virtual machine and the physical machine, which deals with system resource administration. The paramount benefit of using a KVM-driven virtual machine is that the KVM technology is implemented directly into the kernel of the host machine’s OS, in other words – supplementary software programs are not necessary – the virtual machine interplays directly with the host machine. This results in notably fewer overheads and an enormously faster performance.

SSD–based VPS Hosting Solutions

Quicker VPS’s with SSD storage space

Having an SSD–operated virtual hosting server can be a great plus as far as site improvement is addressed. A web page or an app hosted on an SSD will open and work much more speedily as opposed to a website or a web app held on a standard hard disk drive. This is the reason why, all our Linux KVM VPS packages are pre–loaded with SSD drives.

A remarkably improved system resource usage

Effective use of system resources

Usually, VPSs need an additional layer between them and the physical server to handle system resource management. This results in a significantly reduced amount of available system resources for the virtual machines themselves. With KVM, this additional layer is removed, since the virtualization platform is integrated into the physical host machine’s Operating System. Because of this, all the resources that the physical host server is offering can be utilized by the KVM virtual machines that have been set up. This resource availability provides you with that extra edge you need so that you can make your sites and web applicationsevidently distinguishable from those of your rivals.

Thorough Operating System control

Total freedom to run whatever Operating System you wish

Among the disadvantages of Virtual Private Servers as compared to dedicated servers is the Operating System itself – you’re generally constrained by the OS options offered by your provider. With a KVM-powered virtual server, however, you can set up virtually any Operating System that is compatible with your server’s technical specifications and the main server’s hardware. This is possible due to the specific way in which KVM virtualization functions. KVM is embedded directly into the host OS kernel, permitting virtual machines to interact directly with the hardware, without having to use an extra communication layer, found in many other server virtualization alternatives.

Zero Cost Gifts for Your web pages

Web accelerator tools, a domain reseller account plus more

Our Linux KVM VPS packages come with a set of free of cost bonuses, that include a dedicated IP address for your web page. Furthermore, we incorporate a site reseller account and the ClientExec help and support & charging application to make it easier to initiate your personal reseller hosting firm.

Full Root/administrator Access to the Server to Your VPS

Manage each portion of your web server

We provide you with full system access to your Linux KVM VPS package, which means you have complete control of your host. You could re–install the default Operating System or re–configure the Apache host. Also, you can add any kind of new software that you want. In case you require advice working with your web server, you should look at the Installation & Troubleshooting package anytime.

VPS Capabilities

The Linux KVM VPS packages are well–prepared for a variety of tasks

We have diligently picked the characteristics of all of our Linux KVM VPS packages. That way, we can rest assured that all our server offers will work for you in the best way – from our smallest Linux KVM VPS package, which is exceptional for a single multi–media loaded web page or a small application hosting server, to our most advanced Linux KVM VPS package, which could turn into the foundation of an entire reseller web hosting company. All Linux KVM VPS packages are placed on very efficient, custom set up command servers to ensure a dependable platform for you to create and take care of your web sites.

No VPS Startup Charges

No installation or network servicing fees

Our Linux KVM VPS packages are based upon an enhanced virtualization technology that supplies you more autonomy from the other clients on the server. The certificate cost of this technology brings up the price of a VPS package when compared to that of a typical cloud web hosting plan. To compensate for the greater rate, we will not bill you any configuration and network servicing prices.

A 99.9% Network Uptime

We deploy the most up–to–date network components

We have worked diligently in collaboration with the employees at our data centers in order to create a well–performing and protected internal network. We have cooperated with top–notch server equipment distributors to provide a genuinely stable service. That’s why, we could positively guarantee a 99.9% uptime for all Linux KVM VPS packages. This warranty is valid for all the Data Centers that we work with.

VPS Data Backup

We can easily bring back your valuable information in any event

We understand how disturbing it is to suffer a loss of the content material of your web site by accident. This is why we provide you with a data backup service with each individual Linux KVM VPS package. Our experienced system administrators will copy all the stuff on the server – from your web page’s files and databases to your web server settings and PHP configurations.

A Free Dedicated IP

One dedicated IP address for free with each VPS

With every single Linux KVM VPS package, you’re going to get hold of a dedicated IP address at zero cost.

Assembly and Troubleshooting

Have competent advice from our sys administrators

In the event you need to put in a web app for your website but you are not aware of precisely how to do so or if you encounter a really complex problem with your webpage that you don’t know how to handle, you should take advantage of our Installing & Problem–solving solutions. Our executives will help you set up any kind of program that you wish and will try their best to deal with any hosting server situation that you might have in a matter of mins.

Is Paypal safe enough ?

2015-10-26T08:56:00.001+01:00

The question a lot of people ask about Paypal is about its safe. We have the answer to that and its both yes and no. The Reason for that ? Well its all about what you sell or buy online with paypal. Lets just start out with the products mostly sold online with paypal which are the digital product.

Digital products are not what we call a safe product when using paypal. Since the digital product is so hard to track is there no Paypal coverage at all if the seller or buyer scams you. If you try to take this up with paypal it will automatic go to the seller and they still get your money and in that case all you can do is a chargeback from your bank. From the sellers side of things, you will mostly win when the buyer try to get her/his money back from you after you have send your product, and when that fails they do a charge back.

This case have we heard of with game sellers where they sell a lot and when they have send product they get charge backed by the costumer and ended up in a big debt to paypal on thousens of dollars with no help from paypal or anyone.

With physical products on the other hand will both of you have a fair deal on this. If a costum try to refund the product can you always give what information needed to fight this unless its a product problem. In case of charge back will Paypal help you and contact the bank who made the charge back from your product.

So what we are saying. watch out when dealing with digital products on the internet.

3 Simple Steps For Newbies To Start In Affiliate Marketing

2015-10-09T03:28:00.001+02:00

Affiliate marketing is an arrangement between an online merchant and affiliate, in which the affiliate earns a commission for generating sales, leads and/or clicks for the merchant's web site.

Affiliate marketing works in a win-win situation for the merchant and the affiliate. The merchant gains opportunities to advertise his products for free to a larger market which will increase his sales. The more hard-working affiliates he gets, the more sales he can expect. By getting affiliates to market his products and services, he is saving himself time, effort and money in looking for possible markets and customers. When a client clicks on the link in the affiliate website and purchases the product, recommends it to others who look for the same item or buys it again, this way the merchant leverage his chances of earning. On the other hand, the affiliate marketer benefits from each customer who clicks on the link in his website and who actually purchases the product or avails of the service provided by the merchant. Usually the affiliate gets commission per sale, which can be fixed percentage or fixed amount. The best is that it won't cost a single dime to join an affiliate program.

If you want to be an affiliate marketer and make money out of the Internet, you may follow these three most basic steps to start your effective affiliate marketing campaign.

Your first step is to identify a particular niche you are interested in or passionate about so you won’t be bored and forced to develop your affiliate web site later on. Focusing on a specific area you known well, it will help you bring out your best. Here are a few places you can research on - ClickBank Marketplace, AssociatePrograms.com, LinkShare.com, CJ.com etc

Secondly is to look for good paying merchants and high converting products .Make a list of good paying and high converting affiliate programs for your chosen niche and create a website. In choosing the products, you must also consider the support they are giving - Marketing materials may include articles, text links, banner ads, classified ads, reports, etc.

There are many affiliate networks and affiliate solution providers that can give you info on the most profitable products and best paying merchants. So be wise enough to choose the right affiliate program.

Now that you have decided which products to promote and the merchant you are supporting and have created your own web site with a domain name and reliable hosting, you are ready to promote. This is the toughest part, since it is through this that you would be able to increase traffic to the business website, sales and of course, profit. In affiliate marketing, it is possible to earn large sums of money in a short span of time if you use the right strategies and methods.

On how to promote the products would need a separate discussion. You must continue to educate yourself by reading books, courses or other articles online about the best and proven advertising techniques.

Remember, there is no quick path towards success. Affiliate marketing may seem very tempting due to numerous encouraging testimonies of merchants and affiliate marketers alike who have benefited from it, but it really involves in a great deal of hard work and persistence. You also need to be creative and flexible.

Most affiliate marketers don’t understand this, so when they don’t make sales, they quit, look for other programs and carry on the same mistake. In the end, they said that affiliate marketing is just one of those scams in the Internet. You can work your way to great success if you employ the right strategies in affiliate marketing. You can make money as an affiliate marketer if you willing to do what it takes.

$1 Million in Google AdSense Earnings

2015-10-09T03:24:00.002+02:00

They are calling him the million dollar man. Jason Calacanis recently revealed in his blog that he is on track to earn a million dollars from AdSense over the year ahead.

And if that number doesn’t wake you up and have you sitting on the edge of your seat, consider for a moment that he reached this level in less than a year. His company only started using AdSense in September 2004.

Calacanis runs Weblogs Inc., a network dedicated to creating trade weblogs across niche industries. And he’s quickly proven that AdSense is a credible advertising partner.

As their network has grown, so has their AdSense revenue. In January 2005 they earned an average of $580 per day. In March it was $737. In May it was $1,585. One day in July, just before he made the blog entry referred to above, they earned $2,335. Remember that is just for one day. If they can take that daily average to $2,740 they’ll be earning a rate of $1 million for a year. And Calacanis predicts that reaching daily earnings of $3,000 or even $5,000 is quite achievable.

That’s quite an achievement. Keep in mind that Calacanis has 103 bloggers on the payroll and nine staffers. Even so, many webmasters would give an arm or a leg to have even a third of that.

Google’s AdSense has been revolutionary. It has become firmly established as the darling of the online advertising industry. Although rumors are heard of major competitors launching a similar service, AdSense’s premier position seems secure for now.

In essence, AdSense has made it possible for almost anyone with a web site or blog to earn some revenue from advertising, without having to employ sales people or spend precious time searching for advertisers.

AdSense works like this. Webmasters sign up for an account in just a few minutes. They receive a small snippet of code to include on their web pages. Google will then automatically serve advertisements that are relevant to the content on the webmaster's pages. When someone visits the webmaster's site and clicks on one of Google's AdSense advertisements, the webmaster earns a fee. Advertisers can pay anywhere from five cents to a hundred dollars per click, and the webmaster receives a percentage of that fee.

Many webmasters are content with earning five to ten dollars from AdSense to cover the cost of web hosting. But many, unsurprising, have higher ambitions. At a popular WebmasterWorld forum, participants share tips and encouragement on reaching a goal of $300 per day from AdSense. So it is no wonder that Calacanis created quite a buzz when he made his million dollar blog entry.

Google have proven once again that they excel at designing innovative Internet services. If you are in the web industry and have not yet used AdSense, then perhaps you should try it out. Or if you are already using it, perhaps Calacanis’ impressive results will encourage you to track the performance of your AdSense units more closely, fine tune their positions and formats, and take your earnings to a new level.

Something different. web business clone scripts

2015-09-27T00:44:00.001+02:00

We know post a lot of clone scripts made on wordpress, but this time do we post something we have tested our self and use on 2 of our websites we have. Calebi.net (Multi-vendor shopping card script) and easyadvertising.eu ( google adsense script). This company is one of the good once, its a company for them there have a little more money in the pocket then the most. Its a company witch is worth the money big time, they give you a full year of support for your product where they will do all the work you ask for them beside costum job witch will cost you a little more money, but the support and the product together is the good 100+ USD good given out.

The price range this time is 100 - 2000 dollars for a product, but you are 100% sure you get a really god product covering your needs. Why between 100 and 2000 ? well most of the products they have comes in different versions witch have different features that support the needs of the costumer. Lets just take the multi vendor script that we are using, its the script witch cost the most of all the other versions witch is not the multi vendor but just a single vendor script.

Clones

- Google/Bing Clone

- Google Adwords/Adsense Clone

- Apple Music/Spotify Clone

- Amazon/Ebay Clone

- Facebook clone

- Youtube Clone

And many more

The good with this company is that most of the scripts can be build together to one big engine and it wont cost you anything as long you do it in the support period you get with the script witch is on one year in all so you do have plenty of time, but there is just one little problem, all the scripts you see here take that you have a dedicated server because of what needs to be installed on the server and what the scripts takes from the server you host your website on. So if you have not read our post about a good dedicated server host should you have a look at it here.

This was just a small amount of the 18 scripts they have listed on the website and we know some of the scripts do look like a website witch was designed back in the early 2000, but lately have they been upgrading the scripts to better designs so if you are lucky will they upgrade the design of the youtube script soon.

We hope that you enjoyed this post and we hope that it helped you on the way to open your next business. If you have any questions leave them in the comments and we will happy answer them as good as we can. Remember to like and share this post!

How To Increase Blog Traffic: 5 Easy Steps to Stardom

2015-09-25T19:29:00.001+02:00

You've been working hard on your blog, you feel established. Now it's time to get serious about traffic. We're right there with you friend - here are five easy steps you can start taking to increase blog traffic! Hi-Ho Silver!

1. Be Strategic About Your Content

If you want to increase blog traffic, the best thing you can do is quite simply create better content. You’ve probably heard this before - the term “content is king” is thrown around more than a funnel at a frat party. But creating “better content” isn’t just about quality. It also means being more strategic with your content marketing efforts.

The most successful content is the kind that meets a specific need. Think about your audience and what they love. Content these days almost always falls into one of two categories: cool and funny or useful and educational. Choose either and you’re probably off to a good start.

If you need ideas, check out Quora and see what questions are being asked that relate to your industry subject. Also try using Buzzsumo to see what others have written about in your field, then make something even better. Or use one of these eight handy blog topic generators.

When it comes to content style, shoot for shocking statistics, beautiful infographics, and rich storytelling via video. Create stuff people want to link to and share.

Create Evergreen Content For Your Blog

Try to make sure that most of your content is evergreen. Evergreen content is the kind of content that can live forever on the web and that time won’t make irrelevant. For example, a post about this year’s Oscar nominations will become useless in a few months time. A post about the greatest movie classics will continue to be relevant over the years, making it evergreen.

Crafting Kickass Headlines

As a blogger, you should always ensure that you’re creating irresistibly awesome headlines. Your headline is what gets visitors to your site and captures their interest.

Some even suggest that your headline is more important than your actual post! If you have a great content piece hiding behind a shabby headline, it’ll die a quick death. Appearances are everything, and just as you wouldn’t show up to a wedding wearing your stay-home-sick clothes, you can’t rely on lackluster headlines to promote your blog posts.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different headlines. Share your post multiple times with different headlines and see which style works best.

Create a Newsletter To Showcase Your Best Blog Posts

Promotion needs to be a big part of your content strategy, so that your hard earned blog posts drive that traffic you so desperately desire!

One quick and easy way to start driving more traffic to your blog is to start collecting emails for a blog newsletter. Once you’ve captured those contacts, you can send them weekly or monthly emails featuring your best posts, bringing already familiar visitors right back to your website. Since these users are already comfortable with your blog, chances are they might explore a bit more on their next visit. Who knows what they’ll find?

2. Don’t Fear the Keywords

If you really want to drive big time traffic to your blog, keywords and SEO have to be a part of your strategy. People get really nervous these days when you suggest doing something in the name of SEO, but remember, search engine optimization is fine when done right. More than fine - it’s wonderous! You get targeted traffic from Google, and users find the information and answers they’re searching the web for.

So go ahead, shout it from the rooftops, “I care about keywords!” Be loud and proud my friend.

They key thing to remember with SEO is all good things in moderation.

Use keywords in your context text? Yes!

Use keyword stuffing to saturate your content completely with search queries? No.

Link to other related blog posts you’ve written on a specific subject? Yes!

Include so many links that every other sentence is dotted with blue hyperlinks? No.

Let keywords influence your outline and help conceptualize your post? Yes!

Put keywords and search bots before user experience? No!

Google drives billions of searches a day. Trust me, you want to use keywords to get a piece of that pie.

more please!

With more sites and advertisers online than ever before, all competing for the most popular keywords, how do you stand a chance of competing? Long-tail keywords of course!

Why Do Long-Tail Keywords Matter for Bloggers?

Long-tail keywords are search phrases composed of 3+ keywords. They’re easier to target long-tail keywords (and cheaper when it comes to PPC) because there is less competition for these phrases. Targeting long-tail keywords is really your only chance of getting a top SERP spot in Google.

Long tails are cool. They’re also fire types.

For example, maybe you’d love to rank high in Google for “health food” because your business is a health food store. Well fat (or slim) chance of that happening – “health food” is a pretty competitive term. However, if you focus instead on “health food meal plans” or “health food on a budget,” your chance of ranking for those longer keyword phrases is tremendously higher.

SEO for Bloggers: Finding Long Tail Keywords

How do you brainstorm these awesome long-tail keywords? Start with Google. Begin typing in a phrase and see what Google’s auto-complete suggestions are. Make note of the “eureka!” suggestions.

Next, put a few of those terms into Google and scratch down some Google’s related search suggestions (you’ll find them towards the bottom of the page).

Next, take all the long-tail phrases you’ve come up with and put them into the Google Keyword Planner.

See which phrases drive the most traffic (also take a look at other keyword phrases Google suggests) and siphon out the ones with high search volume and low competition. Those are your gold nugget long-tails! Try to create content targeted around those keywords.

SEO Wordpress Plugins for Bloggers

There are some great wordpress plugins designed to help bloggers with SEO. They make it easy to set up your URL slugs correctly, help you craft perfect meta descriptions, setup sitemaps, and aid you in navigating other SEO technical bits that may not come naturally to bloggers.

Two favorites are:

3. Find Your Flock: Hunt Down Your Audience’s Nest

When it comes to promoting your blog, it’s essential that you’re strategic about where you spend your time. While it’s nice to establish your presence across a range of social networks, you’ll quickly burn out trying to excel with every social site.

Dip your feet and see which social networks work best for you. Is your blog heavy on the visuals? You’ll probably want to set your sights on LinkedIn. Is your blog catered more towards nerd culture? Find the right subreddits and you could strike it big.

If you’re looking for seagulls, you go to the seashore. To drive blog traffic, you need to go to where your flock hangs out. Know where to find your bird of a feather. Understanding your audience is also key for building strong referral links from relevant websites.

Use Google Analytics to see which websites are driving the most referral traffic. Find the forums and sites your target audience visits, and get active. Engage in discussion and post links or blog comments when appropriate. This is big – you can’t come off as spammy. You need to be seen as a valuable member of the community who is sharing something of merit. If someone mentions needing advice about scheduling healthy meal plans for each week, go ahead and point them to your resource! If they’re discussing their struggles in mastering the fine art of clowning, you can probably move along.

Once You’ve Found Your Family, Go All In

Once you’ve discovered your key networks, make those your focal point. Neil Patel points out that Upworthy, in addition to utilizing curiosity-focused headlines and emotional content, also limits the number of social sharing buttons they have on a given page.

The choice paradox shows that too many choices can overwhelm and stress users. While we may assume more choices are better, studies have shown that most individuals are happier with a few different options, rather than hundreds.

Upworthy only has two share buttons – Facebook and Twitter. Consider limiting your social sharing selection to the sites you get the most leverage out of.
