Never allow your websites to become a sand castle metaphor!

Okay, I’m just gonna tell this once, and for a change I’m discussing a serious matter… but first, I want to ask you to watch the following video, end to end:

As you can see, sand castles may be quite pretty to look at, but there’s something quite disturbing about these structures: how easily they can be destroyed. Now, this is not really about sand castles, but all the while I’m using this metaphor to try and imprint something very important in the mind of all aspiring web masters out there:

You should not let your websites become a sand castle metaphor.

This may sound like an obtuse comparison, but hold on with me. Truth of the matter, there are several ways of making this error… some of them are more elusive and hard to avoid, but regardless there’s one single sure-shot way of making your on line empire quite similar with a sand castle. That’s building it on a frail foundation… and the foundation to every website is the web hosting company it stands upon. So, unless you want to build an Internet empire that’s pretty to look at but easy to tear apart, you should get yourself a solid web host.

Your home in cyberspace: webhosting as online real estate.

admin September 28th, 2008

Here’s a good tip for all the newbie webmasters out there, looking to set up their own domains:

If you think getting a new home in the off-line real estate world takes some skills and knowledge, let me tell you this: getting a new home on-line to host your website is probably even trickier… Simply because in both scenarios there is a good chance you’ll get deceived with technicalities, unless you’re familiar with the industry.

When it comes to finding an ideal webhost, the best option is really a matter of what you’re looking for, the kind of website you’re putting together, as well as your overall strategies. So the best webhost for me is not necessarily the best host for you; since there are no specific formulas or universal best options, it usually takes a little research to come up a webhost that really suits you: this is usually a boring and unnecessarily complicated task unless you find a decent web hosting reviews website.

This kind of resource is valuable for people shopping around for webhosting because it provides something very important: perspective. Not only does it get easier to compare different webhosts at a glance, but there are also some useful articles with useful information about the webhosting industry. By making a little research before you settle upon a webhost, you’ll save yourself from many headaches down the road. So if you’re planning on running your own website, this is something you might want to look into. Just a thought.

The perennial webhosting woes and a possible solution!

admin June 21st, 2008

If you’ve ever run a website, you’re probably familiar with the typical woes stemming from the underlying technicalities. One of the most aggravating being - I’ll say, based on my personal experience, the troublesome, crucial and evergoing task of scrounging the web for a proper hosting service.

Myself, I’m currently using my second webhost (after 13 months of operations), and the idea of switching to a new one does not seem so far-fetched now as it did a few months ago. We live and learn, and quite often we learn it’s best to change.

So, just in case you’re a fellow webmaster facing this kind of trouble, maybe you’ll want to check out today’s lead, since it looks to me like a reasonable service. If you by any chance know of some information pertaining this specific webhost that might be relevant for us all, do feel free to share - via comments, as usual!
