I have been running various home businesses online since 1998 and I absolutely love working from home. Almost all of my businesses utilize some type of email marketing, but I now I am looking to condense my email newsletters into one easy-to-use system. I was …
Whether you are a business or a blogger, we are all in business to make money. Sometimes making money can be a snap. You have a great product that takes off like wild fire and before you know it you are trying to just keep …
I will be the first person to admit that I am not very tech savvy when it comes to web site hosting or blog site hosting at all. With that said, I have been trying to educate myself the past few weeks on VPS Hosting. Have any of you ever heard of it?
Just a few weeks ago Chris and I had to find someone to relocate our site onto a different web host because our old host couldn’t handle the size of our site or our heavy site traffic. I am very thankful that we hired someone who was knowledgeable and did a great job for us.
Now that we are moved, I am considering moving my 4 Blogger Blogs over to WordPress which means I will need some good hosting for all 4 of those. Frankly, I just prefer WordPress these days as I like to have 100% control over my sites, you don’t get that with Blogger.
I have been looking at getting a Virtual Cloud Private Server and have been trying to educate myself on that. I did the shared server thing with our last hosting company and didn’t like that at all. Like I said, I want total control and I want all my sites on a private server and not on a shared one.
What I learned is that when you go to a Virtual Cloud Private Server you only pay for the resources that you need and only when you need them. You can get guaranteed resource allocation for your site/server which is really important! I also learned that disk performance is increased and more reliable in a virtual private server environment. After what we went through with our last web host, all of this is important to know!
I found this one company that even offers VPS Hosting Stacks which are preinstalled VPS servers with turn key software on them for those who are looking to make a little extra money. One thing that I’m still curious about is Bluehost vs. Wix: Which is best? Do any of you have experience with either one?
Anyway, I did some research on this and I thought it would be expensive but quickly learned that it is relatively affordable and the benefits are tremendous! Running all of these businesses online, I need fast and reliable web hosting and I think this is the way for me to go.
Do you have a Virtual Cloud Private Server and if so, do you like it?
In today’s fast paced industry and minute by minute changes in the market status and economy, many businesses are turning to virtual data room sites to help share critical business information that can effect their business in a second. Whether you are a small, mid …
Credit Cards have gotten a bad rap lately. Yes, many people abuse them and I can relate to having them to fall back on when times get tough. I have bought groceries on credit many times when times were lean. But there are good aspects …
I was looking around for a way to sell some stuff that I have here and don’t use that is effectively taking up a great deal of my office space. I figured that I could sell this stuff I have and then buy the items that I want to give as gifts. That way I have gotten rid of the clutter taking up valuable real estate in my office and have some happy folks with items that they love to enjoy.
What I didn’t realize is that there is a way to join a social media based site and barter with other members to get the goods that I want. You don’t have to deal with strangers as you are linking to people you are friending right there on the site. It could be your relatives or anyone you know.
I have done a lot of bartering in the past and it has always seemed to work out for the most part but they were through forums and on a personal level. Having barter websites available that also are a social media outlet seems like a great solution. The one I found is called Tradze and you don’t use money at all. You earn credits that you use to buy things from other members. It is a pretty cool concept. It is an easy way to buy and sell the items that you want. I am going to check it out and barter some of my items for ones I want.
When a business first thinks about taking their business into the world of the internet, one of the scariest things that may cross their mind is advertising and marketing. Advertising on the web is totally different than what you may be used to. One of …
