Other Added - What Not To Consider When Choosing A Web Host Provider
I have discovered that even though domain names have been around since the beginning of interaction on the Internet, there is still a great deal of confusion surrounding them. How do I pick the right one? Can I have more than one? Where do I find out if the name I want is available? How much do they cost? These are a few of the questions I answer in this article.Pick a domain name that has the following attributes: It relates to your name, your company name, or your product. If you are a solo-preneur, your name is a good choice. What if www.JohnSmith.com is already taken? Some suggest ww.TheJohnSmith.com. I also think that using .info or .biz or even .net will work. My company name has bee

You’ve invested time and money in your business and want your Yellow Page ad to work. You and your YP rep designed an ad and think it’s pretty good. So you run it and sit by the phone. Before it even hits the streets, I can predict the results. Did you do one of the following things in your ad…Put your name, big and bold across the top?Place a stock photo of a truck or any other generic object in the ad?Forget to mention what makes you different from your competition?Use really small type or an unusual typeface anywhere?Did you use any of the following words in the headline: “Quality, Reliability, Low-cost, Expert, Professional, Complete, Reasonable?”If you only did 2 or
Some people still put a lot of weight on the office address of web hosting company. Somehow they get peace of mind knowing that the office is just a short distance away. If something goes wrong, they can easily knock on the door or pickup the phone and complain to their hearts’ desire.
The truth is it doesn’t really matter where the web hosting company is located. What matters is the reliability of their infrastructure. Try to find out where their data center/s is/are. Also keep in mind that a lot of local web hosting companies are just resellers of the service. Research!
Friendly technical support
While it’s nice to have friendly people all around you, when it comes to hosting your website, what you really need is a competent technical support. Make sure you can reach their technical support team 24/7 and with the right answers.
Features and applications: The required and nice-to-haves
Website hosting packages comes with tons of useful features like website analysis report, database, mail management, etc. And more features like message boards, chats, online polls etc. But pause for a moment and consider what you really need. Just because they offer a chat room doesn’t mean you need to have a chat room on your website. Remember that some of these applications will use up server space. And some requires constant maintenance. You might end up getting additional manpower and might hurt your operating cost in the process.
Discounts for longer payment terms
Not really as important as the others but something to consider. Web hosting companies will offer you a discount depending on the payment cycle you wish; monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual mode of payment. The longer your lock-in period, the bigger the discount you get. But consider this, say you decided to get the annual mode of payment, and it turns out that you’re not happy with the service; it can be a very frustrating experience. Unless you’re really sure with the service, you might want to try them out first for a couple of months or so.

In parts 2 & 3 of this article series, we described the data warehouse architecture according to the Kimball and the Inmon approach. In the present article we shall describe the main differences between the two approaches and their common points. The two approaches have the following common points: The proposed use of a staging area, when the volume of data and the extraction-transformation-loading (ETL) complexity is high The implementation of automated ETL processes The use of multidimensional structures and analysis at the data mart level, based on the dimensional model and on-line analytical processing (OLAP) toolsThe use of an iterative development approach, which is however based on different d

Many companies are surprised when they find excess inventory of fast moving items during a physical inventory. After getting over the initial surprise, they shrug their shoulders and say: “these are fast moving items and they should sell.” What they fail to realize is that even though fast moving items will sell, they carry unnecessary storage costs that affect their bottom line profit.Issues resulting from having the wrong purchasing information:- Fast moving items resulting in excess inventory. - Buying based on “gut feeling” rather than accurate computer information. - Buying “out of control.”Even fast moving items can result in excess inventory:In speaking with a mid-sized d

It costs $300 a year for directory listing in Yahoo. Here is another eye-roller for you. It typically takes six to eight weeks for Yahoo to process your site.There are three types of Yahoo; the main (original) Yahoo; the international Yahoo sites; and the regional (city) Yahoo sites. The original site is by far the toughest to get into, so if your site is in, or relates to, a country or region served by one of the other Yahoo indexes, you should first try to get listed in them first. Once you are accepted by one Yahoo index usually it is contagious, and you eventually end up getting into them all.Whatever you do don't try to sneak multiple listing into Yahoo. Don't try to make a free application into a paid category. If the

Just because they have a high ranking in Google(or any search engine for that matter), doesn’t mean they’re good. To rank high in search engines such as Google, a typical website requires Search Engine Optimization services. This goes for web hosting companies too. And there are SEO professionals and companies that get away with search engine trickery or “black hat” SEO methods. And this will enable one’s website to achieve good ranking in search engines. So watch out.
“We’re the Best”…as stated in their website.
Believe it or not, some still fall for this ancient advertisement tag-line. Well the BEST way to verify this is to ask around. Visit forums that discusses web hosting services or if you can, get in touch with their existing customers. A simple email inquiry will do. Introduce yourself and your intentions and ask if you can get their opinion about their existing web host.
They’ve been around for a long time, they must be good.
This is really not a good benchmark. Technology is continuously evolving at a very fast pace. Web hosting companies should be flexible to adopt new technologies without drastically affecting their service. And so the question is, how fast can a web host company upgrade their infrastructures with minimal, if not zero, service disruption?
They’re hosting more than a hundred customers.
Yes this can be a good criterion in choosing for a web host service. But take an effort to verify. Just because it’s posted on their website, doesn’t mean it’s really true. Randomly choose a client or so and politely inquire about their web host provider.
They’re cheap
The more sellers in the market, price gets lower, better for the consumer.
