Friday, December 19th, 2008

Hey everybody!

Just finished an article on Obama’s announcement of the new energy and environment team this Monday. Secreatry of Energy nominee Dr. Steven Chu brings hope of a DC powering reform of the datacenter market, including all major hosting providers. As active director of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Dr. Chu has been involved in research of alternative energy for a long time. And as LBNL just released a report in March regarding the Demonstration Project of a new DC Powering solution for future datacenter.

This is exciting stuff as a new government is formed and new ways for a greener US is being explored. May more energy-efficient datacenters and a green Internet be one of these ways?

What to look for in a web host?

Monday, December 15th, 2008

You’ve probably been pounded with this question by numerous hosting provider ads, bloggers and smart-asses already. So I’ll keep it honest, short and sweet.

Do not fall for the inviting and attractive price-tag on a hosting offer

You get what you pay for and in many cases in the hosting industry that isn’t a whole lot. WebHostingSearch.com knows this and makes sure that the “cheap hosting deals” that is listed actually has reliable and usefull hosting features to offer. Cheap, affordable and economy hosting often times equal a simple shared hosting.

And even though you might not have much of a website, in order for it to prosper and grow, the most basic hosting plan will only take you so far. Hosting is a vital part of any successful website – so don’t feel bad if you choose an hosting plan with a more costly price tag. Chances are you won’t regret it. Plus, the difference between bad and good in web hosting nomally isn’t more than a couple of bucks a month.

For my personal favorite hosting providers send me an email to brian at webhostingsearch dot com andI’ll be more than happy to share some industry insights :-)

Learn About Domain Names and Registrars

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

Hi,

If you’ve read my blog before you know that I’ve written blog posts about domain names and related topics. To take it all a step longer I’ve now written a full article about domain names and registrars here at WebHostingSearch.com. If you wish to learn more about these two points I hope that you take the time to read it – and, of course, I hope that you will learn something new as well.

The subject of domain names and registrars might sound easy but there’s actually a lot to think about. Picking a registrar for example shouldn’t be done without careful planning and assessments. Anything from jurisdiction to services should be included in your calculations. Well… I think it’s better if you read the article or I would have to repeat myself too many times.

Anyone Still Getting Fooled?

Friday, December 5th, 2008

Ok, I’m 100 percent positive that you’ve all gotten them and I’m also sure that you all hate them. What I’m talking about is of course the so called Nigeria letters. Every morning when I get to work I have to take a couple of minutes to clean out my inbox from these scam letters. And yes, I do have an active spam filter… It doesn’t matter how much I try to keep them away – they just keep coming.

It’s weird when it has gone so far that it would feel strange if I didn’t get them one morning… But the strangest thing is probably that they’re still sending these e-mails. Honestly now – is anyone still getting fooled by these promises of great earnings. If so, these people must have been living in a cave for the latest 15 years or so. No, it’s time for the scammers to go do something else. Of course, they’ll be missed in my daily morning routine but I can handle it…
