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.

MySpace Going Down!

MySpace stated that they will be cutting more of its work force. Their claim is because they want to get more inline with Facebook. I read Facebook employs a little over 800 people, MySpace now will employ about 1,000 employees. This reduction will cut a few hundred more people to lose their jobs. And on top of the layoffs, Facebook is leaving MySpace with U.S. users. I read that both now have a few hundred million users each. MySpace is falling while Facebook is growing. Facebook is a much cleaner and user friendly system. Facebook doesn’t allow all that crap that MySpace does. This is the reason why I think MySpace is getting hurt, all the junk they allow on their site.

eBay Hurting!

It seems that eBay is still struggling in this recession. Their 2nd quarter earning is down about 5 percent, but ahead of what analysts where looking for. They, eBay reported $2.1 billion, which is better than losing money if you ask me. I can also say that I personally have seen a drop with using eBay. My sales have dropped on eBay by a lot. I was getting a few sales a week, now I’m lucky if I get a few questions a week. I even started to search the net to find other sites to sell on. The problem I’m having is that I can’t find anywhere else to sell at, and that stinks. I think the problem with eBay isn’t the recession, it’s the way they revamp their system, and prices. If you’re a seller on eBay you know what I’m talking about. What I would like to see eBay do is go back to the way they where, and maybe sales for them will go back up. I sure would use them more often.

No Contract Needed!

My Wife and I went looking for new cell phones. Our contract was up, 2 years ago, we never renewed because they didn’t require it, and plus we weren’t sure if we wanted another contract. We were with the same company for over 10 years, so we weren’t sure if we wanted someone else. Anyway, we wanted new phones with better text and web access. What we really wanted was to get on Twitter and Facebook with our phones, plus a few other sites. But we didn’t want to purchase a $600 Blackberry. So in order to get free phones we would have to enter into another 2 year contract, which we weren’t ready to do again. So we decided to look at all the major cell phone providers, you know who they are, before we agreed to another contract. We even looked at Boost Mobile, a new provider in our area. Boost didn’t require a contract, we could get a Blackberry for $150 bucks, and all data plan that includes everything for $60 a month per phone. Which we both like because we can get on the web, get some great free apps, and get on Facebook. They even provided a way to reload your account, it’s called Re-Boost. Re-Boost is a way to reload your account to fund your plan. I will end with this, these guys, Boost Mobile, are worth considering for our next provider. I will be reading more about them to make sure their the right fit for us.
