Internet Dangers

Internet Dangers!

I’m writing this post to help raise awareness against internet pornography. This major tool we call the internet at times offers unlimited access to pornography. Which our children could easily gain access to. Unfortunately this problem isn’t going away. We can only try to reduce the access by teaching our children about internet safety. And here’s just another way that could help you and I to fight this battle. I came across a site tonight that offers software that can locate pornography on your computer. This program will do an image-analysis by simply doing a quick scan of your computer. It will then locate and delete pornography from almost any computer system. You owe it to your kids to at least do something to help our kids remain safe online.

Blu-Ray Players

Blu-Ray Players!

I just read an article online that states that the Blu-ray Disc Association recently started to license their technology to Chinese manufactures. You all know what that means, Blu-Ray players for under $100 bucks. I hate to say it, but that’s when I’ll get one. If we could build these players and sell them at a much more affordable price I would have gotten one a long time ago. Right now these Blu-Ray players are selling for more than $200, which is way to high in my opinion. And the disc’s cost about twice as much as the standard DVD, why? I once heard that making a Blu-Ray disc was cheaper than making a standard DVD. The same happened when we went from a VHS tapes to a DVD, it was cheaper to make the DVD. At the time they where selling the DVD for twice the amount of the VHS tape. If these makers would stop being so greedy we wouldn’t need Chinese manufactures to get the pricing under control, and people would by more things made in the USA. I really feel that if the maker of anything would charge reasonable prices for their products we would be much better off than what we are now. The greed needs to stop!

Top Web Hosting

Top Web Hosting!

For most of you I’m sure you’ve had problem with your hosting provider, I know I have.  When the time was right I made the move, to another provider, left the other one behind.  And if you’re seriously looking for a new web site hosting provider as well you need to do a simple search via your choice of search engine.  I would recommend doing a search for “website hosting.”  Once you find someone you like check to see what other’s are saying about them.  They may have a good rating in some areas, and a bad rating in others.  There are people out there that love to rate everything they buy and use, so you will find something.  I base all my purchases based on customer service, then price.  Something may look good and cheap, but could cost you more down the road.  Another thing you can do is find a site that based their findings on customer satisfaction, affordability, reliability, uptime and technical support.  Anyway, you should have no problem finding a new provider, hey, some will even more your site over for free.

New Hosting Providers

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.
