Other Added - What I Learned When My Server Crashed
You have gone through the 8 Assents of Inspirational Leadership, now the final step to cultivating an inspired and dedicated workforce is to build the THE 5 PILLARS OF A TRANSFORMATIONAL ENVIRONMENTThe 5 pillars are the foundations that convert a team to an organization transforming powerhouse. When leaders become aware of their work environment and the affects they have on it, when they learn the Psychology of groups and how it applies to the actions, reactions and emotions of teams and departments, then the foundation for the pillars is created.Inspiration of individuals w

IT (Internet Technology) companies from advanced countries are increasingly outsourcing their work to developing countries in Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. The main motive behind this outsourcing of IT work is to reduce the costs to the company. An estimated 50% can be reduced by outsourcing IT jobs to offshore countries with lower economies.Most companies that undertake outsourced work, such as BPOs (Business Process Outsourcing), can handle many aspects of IT works. These aspects may range from software developing and testing, help desk support and data entry an
1. Back ups are lifesavers, if done correctly
I had fairly recent or full back ups (on my PC and CD-RW) of all the sites I’ve designed, a handful of which belong to clients and not myself.
I ended up reworking a few recent changes, like content deletions I had made in the weeks prior.
There were glitches, despite all of my precautions. For example, I had depended solely on CPANEL for my forum database backup. Apparently the database had grown so large that when downloading the daily back up some of the database had been cut off. Large pieces of the forum database were lost.
Now I know to back up in multiple forms, like:
a) Structure only and data only.
Tip: Prune the data regularly to avoid mega-sizing your databases.
b) Compressed and not compressed.
c) Software/browser back up and CPANEL back up.
d) Table-specific back ups on larger databases (especially for USERS table!)
e) Saved files (incl. install files) for software, mods, and scripts that you use, including their MySQL and Admin username/passwords.
f) Full site back ups and home directory back ups.
Since the crash I keep all the above back ups, almost in an obsessive compulsive way. It may sound like a bit much, but you can create a back up schedule that’s near foolproof and bandwidth frugal. You won’t need to back up in every single way, every single day. Each site will have different needs when it comes to backups.

Just as it takes a combination of all the right elements to make a beautiful garden grow, it takes more than a great logo, or a great ad to grow a successful business. How do the best businesses do it? They use an integrated approach to their marketing, combining a great visual identity with a compelling message that gets delivered through a variety of channels. People are bombarded with hundreds to thousands of messages a day. It’s just not reasonable to expect an ad that runs one time in one newspaper will be enough to get your prospects’ attention and rally them to action.Over th

When I was in school I typically started looking for a summer job a couple of days after my exams ended. I always wondered why some people found such terrific jobs while I seemed to have so much trouble.The best summer jobs I ever had were places where I already had some kind of an in? The first was in my senior year of high school, at a local utility company where my aunt worked. There I earned much better than average income for my age and got some great accounting experience. During my university years I had a summer job with our local school board that I heard about

2. Not everyone backs up!?!
It’s true that webhosts back up their drives, usually every night. However, in our server nightmare, their back up was corrupted by an employee of a company they outsource to. The poor fellow ended up shattering that server-backup, which a few unfortunate webmasters had been counting on.
As long as you’re planning on having a website presence, it’s almost guaranteed that at some point you will have a server crash. Get in the “safe keeping” habit, before it’s too late and you end up missing your site(s), or having forty angry clients calling you and demanding their (forever lost!) websites be “up and running pronto!”
3. Spread your sites out on more than one webhost
I heard Jodie Lynn (http://www.parenttoparent.com/) recommend this on WAHM Talk Radio (http://www.wahmtalkradio.com/), but I put it off. It would have been a little less stressful if only half of the sites I manage went down with that crash. I’ve finally listened to Jodie’s advice.
4. When it happens, stay calm
Our websites were down for 12-24 hours, and in a few cases 36 hours as I moved some sites to a different host. I worried about my regular site visitors, Google ranking, Adsense, and the long haul of getting it all pieced together again.
The Aftermath:
-My forum regulars weren’t lost for long, and having a fresh install wasn’t so bad. Obviously any search engine traffic and earnings from forum pages were cut of temporarily.
-My ranking didn’t budge at all. Spare the unlikely chance you crash during a major Google update, and can’t get your site back online before it’s done, your site rank should be OK too.
-My Adsense revenue did go down, but it wasn’t a total b
