Which Are The Cheap Yet Reliable Web Hosts?

Web hosting may be common and there may be many web hosting providers in the market. However, one of the most common questions that y friends and I ask each other is, “Which is a cheap web hosting that is reliable and does not compromise on uptime?”

You see, we run multiple websites and blogs and we must have a reliable hosting service. Earning a living online, we cannot have these sites offline for long periods of time. Sometimes we are even willing to pay a little more for better service. However, if there’s one that is cheaper, of course that’s what we prefer to go with!

That’s why, even though we already have several webhosts, we continue to look for others for future expansion of our network of sites. One of the better webhost review and comparison sites, web hosting rating is a good place to keep tab of the promotions and services offered by some of the major web hosting companies. Be informed of their developments and only make a decision after you have read through the reviews and understand what they are offering.

New Skins From Widget Bucks

I received a newsletter from Widget Bucks today reminding that they have new skins for their widget and how we could select from a range of 125 pre-made skins for our widgets or make one ourselves with their tools. I think it’s great that we could make the widget closer to the layout of our blog or website and I think it would generate more clicks if we stay away from looking like a Widget Bucks widget.

You know, some people are really funny. They would think, oh, it’s a Widget Bucks widget, better not click on it. LOL

I wonder if I should re-implement Widget Bucks on some of my blogs. I did implement Widget Bucks on three blogs previously and they bought me nothing but now they have combined Cost-per-Click and Cost-per-a-thousand-Impressions and rolled out to more countries. And I wonder if they still have loading issues which I experienced when I had them on my blog.

Asset Tracking & Management Solution

The other day, a friend asked me if I know of any good asset management software. I have to say that although I do not even own a property, I have come across a couple of asset management software before that allows property owners or managers to manage properties and leases in an effective and cost efficient way.

However, as far as I know, the only fully–integrated web-based Asset Tracking Software and management solution that I know of is the one by Siterra Corporation.

If you have property to manage, you may want to check out Siterra. It is on-demand and highly customizable to suit your needs. 30,000 active users can’t be wrong, right?

Comparing Low-Priced Webhosting Packages

One of the things that we have to consider when building blogs and websites is which host to go with. You know, I always believe that when we start, we need to start right. I had the problem of starting my blogs on a new webhost and I faced a lot of problems with them. Of course, I moved to another host, and the move itself was problematic as well. However, I am glad that I took that step, difficult though it was because of the sheer number of blogs and websites that I am running!

Now, when friends ask me for my opinion, I point them to reputable website hosting review sites so that they could compare for themselves the various low-priced plans and features that come along with those plans.

As a newbie to the world of webhosting, I believe that we should read as much as possible and only subscribe to what we need. There are many webhosts offering different packages. It is up to us to do the research. What do you say?

Google Logo Art Beijing 2008: Dragon Ping Pong / Table Tennis

There’s another dragoon on the Google logo art today, and it s playing ping pong. Some people refer to ‘ping pong’ as ‘table tennis’. I really love the dragon because it is elaborate and the colors are very striking and vibrant. I think that this could possibly be the best Google logo art to date, not taking the very first Google logo art of the opening ceremony of Beijing 2008 into account.

And I still maintain that the ugliest one to date is the “beast” playing badminton three days ago. Hehe! I wonder what animal from the Chinese Horoscope (or zodiac if you like) will be appearing on Google tomorrow. I just look forward to see a new logo art every day and I will miss this when the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games end.

So far, we have had the cycling sheep, weightlifting mouse, diving pig, rhythmic gymnastics cow, ring gymnastics monkey, basketball dragon, badminton monkey, equestrian horse, rowing dog and table tennis dragon. We still have the tiger, rabbit, snake and rooster. I can’t wait to see them!
