Making The Switch!

Like most everyone out there times are getting harder. And lately it seems like the standard services we use are costing more and more every month. I’m talking about services like cable and phone services. Most of the time these service providers are rising their prices without any warning. Although the local phone companies have increases, there’s really not much we can do. What I mean by that you can’t switch your local provider out. But with cable companies, you can always order a dish service to fight back. But cable companies fight back by running negative ads against dish service providers to scare you off. In my opinion, if someone’s spending a lot of money to scare you off you need to at lease consider going with a dish company like Direct TV, or The Dish Network. These Dish TV companies require a contract so please make sure you understand the contract and service plan before you make the switch. Do what‘s right for you.

Shoplifting Doesn’t Pay!

I was poking around on the net today and came across a story about a couple who shoplift toys and other crap to sell on eBay. This couple was on the Dr. Phil show bragging about on they made over $100,000 in selling stolen product. And that’s not even the whole story. It seems that they brought along their three small children. There was even a time they got caught shoplifting with the kids. Now since the story aired law enforcement is involved. Just a week ago the Secret Service and the San Diego Regional Fraud Task Force seized toys and a car, plus other crap. The man accused of this crime is Matthew Eaton, who said that the thefts where “easy money.” This just shows how dumb people are. I would like to ask this guy why would he go on the Dr. Phil show and think nothing would happen to him. This guy and his wife should have everything seized, everything. After all that’s the law.

Time To Get Tight!

It’s time to close the wallet and put your money under your mattress.  I’m not kidding; times seem to be getting worst.  During today’s trading, stocks are down again, as of right now.  Some are saying that the Dow will hit 9,000 again.  Yesterdays trading ended badly as well.  The price of oil today has been level per barrel, mostly because the U.S Govt. stated there has been a drop in demand. Let’s not forget that more and more people are losing their jobs during these troubling times.  My advise, stock up and food and have some cash on hand, and stop depending on the U.S Govt.

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.
