New Hosting Providers!

I have a few questions for all of you. Are your fed up with your hosting provider? Does your site have a lot of down time? And do you feel that your hosting provider could deliver much better customer service? If you answered yes to any of these questions you need to seek out another provider, fast.

If you’re business website constantly goes down it will cost you money, and customers. If you’re a site owner, business or personal, you know how hard it is to find reliable web hosting, which is very critical to your business. As most of you know, when your site goes down you just want to pull your hair out. You purchase a plan, your promissed up site time, then out it goes, drives me nuts. So do what I did, research, research, and research your next provider. Call them, talk to someone on the phone. Most of these providers don’t offer toll free numbers, but that’s not a big problem. They just want to reduce the calls for low level questions. To avoid phone charges, call from your cell phone. I know I’m running on here, but I can’t stress enough, call your provider, and research them. Good luck on your searches.

Your Small Business?

Most “experts” think before you sell your small business you should maybe try to acquire another company to look bigger. You should maybe also think about taking on investors. Also, you need to know how much your business is worth. Think you already know that number? Most of you already think you know – but you could be wrong. Most of the entrepreneurs out there just take a wild guess at it. So, before you sell, know your businesses true value. You should maybe hire a business broker to evaluate business. They could give you a true value of what your company is worth in this economy. And last, don’t forget to do your research, after all you want full value.

Intel Corp Pays!

For doing one of the biggest scams around the world last year, Intel Corp, the biggest chip maker will pay euros $1.06 billion in fines. That comes out to about $1.44 billion is U.S dollars. Intel had used illegal sales tactics to stop other chip makers from coming to market. This hurts us, the consumers, we had a cheaper product to buy but couldn’t, because Intel paid them off. One of the other chip makers paid off was AMD, which should be fined as well. After all they took payment to delay computers with their chip in it.

The European Commission stated that Intel broke the law. That law is the EU competition law. They simply paid another maker not to sell their product, which is breaking the law, so now they must pay. About 2 years ago Microsoft pulled the same scam, they where fined euros $899 million, which I think their appealing. I’m sure Intel will appeal as well. Other country’s around the world are fining Intel as well. They better just pay their fines and move on, after all they took advantage of every consumer out there. If they pull this scam again their going to be unable to sell their crap anywhere, and that would be the end of them.

Worth How Much!

I was just reading that Twitter will be raising another 100 million dollars in new funding. In the same report it states it now puts Twitter at a worth of $1 billion. There is no way Twitter is worth $1 billion, they haven’t made one cent yet. Their losing money every day. This just shows that people in charge of investing people’s money really don’t know what their doing. I say that because the $100 million will be coming from investment groups, which control other people’s money. I believe Twitter will start making money some day, but not what people investing in now will want to see. And then the worth of Twitter will sank and people will loss their money once again. And the only one’s getting rich are the creators of Twitter, the one’s that will be laughing all the way to the bank. Lets not forget that Twitter is nothing but a micro-blogging service, which anyone can setup. Their service gets hacked into all the time because of the simple script their running. Just wait about a year when other scripts come on for micro-blogging services. You’ll be able to by one for $50, just will hope your site catches on. A company started in 2006, hasn’t made one cent, no customer support, worth $1 billions, how dumb does that sound.
