Providing Customer Support To Your Hosting Clients
I have said in some of my other articles that a hosting company needs to provide good customer service to succeed. From past experience I know how annoying it can be for a client if their host doesn’t have a good support system in place. Many clients will expect fast replies to their support questions, and if you cannot supply this you may start to lose clients.
For a hosting company to be successful, they must be able to attract new clients to their service and keep their…
Pursuing Your Post-Retirement Passions Online
Ten years ago, computer literacy was an issue with older Americans. My father was insistent that one of those machines would never be seen near his desk. So we bought him one for Christmas and let the instruction manual drag him in. Now he paints with it.
It seems that resistance to computers is largely a thing of the past among most of us these days. They are a part of everyone’s life, and grandparents are no exception. The ease and simplicity of email has spread computer…

Advertising your web hosting site
Any new web host will realise that there is a lot of competition in the web hosting industry and it can be hard to establish yourself in the market. I think to succeed as a host you must offer a quality, reliable low cost service to your clients.

Although it sounds pretty straight forward, a nonprofit can be a complicated entity. Therefore, it is wise to know where you can find a…
Call For Bands – Going Beyond Myspace
You’re loaded up on MySpace – tons of friends and fans with pictures from your most recent shows, flyers for your next tour, and comments from the peanut gallery on everything from the outfit you wore last week to the person you just broke up with. But as much as this is working, it’s limiting. Hugely limiting.
With your own website, your band goes to the next level. First, there’s the credibility. MySpace is for basement bands, kids who practice after school when their dr…
Log On For Health – Creating An Online Health Resource
How many times have you heard someone say, “Well, as long as I have my health…” Indeed, good health is of paramount importance for all the obvious reasons.

These days, new medicines and break-through treatments are on the news all the time, and popular diets and ex…
Pushing Bad Data- Google’s Latest Black Eye
Google stopped counting, or at least publicly displaying, the number of pages it indexed in September of 05, after a school-yard “measuring contest” with rival Yahoo. That count topped out around 8 billion pages before it was removed from the homepage. News broke recently through various SEO forums that Google had suddenly, over the past few weeks, added another few billion pages to the index. This might sound like a reason for celebration, but this “accomplishment” would not…
Slinging Hash On The Web- How To Attract Hungry Internet Users
What makes a good restaurant? Well, the obvious answers are the food, the staff, and the atmosphere. But what goes on behind the scenes and beyond the walls of the establishment is equally important to the place’s success. That is why restaurants of all sizes are creating web sites to support, promote and advertise their business.
