On Hosting Issues + Dedicated Servers

blogging, world wide web

My blog was down for a number of days last month due to some server issues. My host transferred services at the time and while the transfer was in progress, my blog is nowhere to be found in the world wide web. The followers and readers cannot visit the site, no one can join the current giveaways I was running at the time, neither can I update and post anything, too. It was really quite frustrating on my part, especially when you have deadlines to beat and targets to hit. It actually got me contemplating about Xeon Dedicated Server and the likes.

A dedicated server will prove to be a very good investment for anyone who has a thriving blogging business. Having a server dedicated entirely to your blogs is quite ideal, as opposed to co-sharing it with a number of other blogs in the world wide web. It easily eliminates a number of downtimes since the server solely handles your blogs’ data and all its resources are channeled to fuel your blogs. It even protects your blogs from unfriendly elements in the online world that maybe harmful.  Your concerns will be addressed accordingly and in a timely manner. It was like renting an entire resort so you alone can use it.

Unfortunately, dedicated servers are rather expensive and it is also most ideal for sites that get a gazillion of hits everyday. It was something I cannot afford yet and I am just getting a considerable amount of traffic anyway. So I guess I will just stick with my hosting plans at the moment. The downtime may have gone on for a few days but it was such a relief that it was over in a matter of days. The transfer also seem to work to my advantage as I am hardly experiencing any downtime from there on.

My host handle all my blogs, as well as a considerable number of other blogs in blogosphere, but it was such comfort and convenience that it was easy to reach her whenever I have issues and problems and tries to resolve these concerns as fast as she can. There is no way I can solve them on my own, anyway, and any talks concerning technical terms and jargon is just gibberish to me, anyway. So, yeah, sticking to my old hosting plan really sounds like a good plan.

This is a sponsored post however, all the points and views are 100% my own.

Rev Up Your Business for Success

world wide web, internet

With the availability of technology and how it streamlines business applications nowadays, there seems to be no limit to where and how you can enrich your business. Productivity can now be executed with ease, leaving more wiggle room for growth in research and development, employee empowerment, and business culture practices. To that end, take a look at these three online services that rev up businesses faster towards success:

1. Bitrix24.com

CRMs, time trackers, workforce management – these are just some of the elements that business owners need to facilitate a successful business. Taking it all into account, these applications, when bought separately, are worth top dollars that are hurtful for startups and established businesses alike.

Bitrix24.com, a social collaboration platform that’s 100% free for small businesses with a maximum of 12 employees, ties all these elements up in one big, neat bundle that includes a free CRM system, free calendar and activity planner, free intranet, free real-time viewing and free messaging system, among others. And at just $99 monthly for an unlimited user upgrade, it is definitely a real steal. Because it is cloud-based, no installation is necessary and can be accessed anywhere via the web or a smartphone.

2. JetRadar.com

Competition in the airline industry has led many airlines to confine their deals into their own corporate sites and partner sites instead of price-comparison websites to prevent competitors from stealing their customers away. Consequently, end consumers are forced to go website hopping to find the airfare deals they need and can afford, a time-consuming and labor-intensive exercise.

JetRadar.com is a search engine that systematically goes over 700+ individual airline sites and hundreds of flight and ticketing portals for the best and cheapest airfare promos, making the data within reach by the searching public, and all in a single site. This greatly cuts down on the time and energy it normally takes a consumer to find whatever he needs to find in the airfare space.

3. PickyDomains.com

Brilliant domain names are hard to come by nowadays. Not coming up with the idea per se, but the fact that millions and millions of domains have already been registered to date. The online realm is so saturated with .com and .net addresses that finding the most relevant for your website can be a daunting task, to say the least. Branding agencies can help in that respect, that’s a given. But it’s also a given that they charge a fortune for their services.

Operating since 2007, PickyDomains.com is a naming service that taps into a pool of over 50,000 creative people to come up with relevant, catchy, unique and easy-to-remember domains, names, even slogans to match. All you need to do is register with the site as a client and set your naming parameters. For a downpayment of $50, you get a good number of suggestions for a name or domain (slogans cost $75). If none of the suggestions catches your eye, you get a refund, a risk-free guarantee no branding agency out there is willing to offer.
