Web hosting. If the term means anything to you at all then you either already have a hosting provider or are looking for one. Either way I hope to educate you on some of the basics to look for in a hosting company. Personal, business, free, ecommerce or discount an educated consumer makes all the difference.
When reviewing hosting providers most people wouldn't put this point first, but I do. Support. Yes, most companies have some type of support, but not all are equal. First and foremost is availability. Support staff should be available 24/7 by phone and email. Response time should also be quick and wait times should be announced and published on the web site. Technicians should be friendly, educated and speak your language.
After support the next most important set of things to look for in a hosting company are features. If the company can't provide what you need then you might as well look elsewhere. Some basics are of course capacity and bandwidth, but more importantly is the ability to do what you need to with your site. Ecommerce, blogging, forums, scripting and databases are much more important anymore then the amount of space you get.
Last but not least is price. When I say price I don't mean to suggest you get the cheapest plan out there. You should find the plan that has the features you need and is affordable. Don't get more than you need simply because you can. There are many hosting companies out there with bargain basement pricing. They can do this because your server is in their basement next to their washer and dryer. Be careful who you do business with and remember you get what you pay for.
In summary I just want to point out that the hosting environment is changing. With blogs and the like becoming more prevalent hosting companies need to adapt to stay in business. You as the consumer need to be educated in what you need and don't be afraid to make a switch if you have to.

Had Enough Of The Public Email System? Let's Go Private.
The public email system is so polluted with email invaders -- those creatures who will stop at nothing to get into your email box with unsolicited junk, viruses and spyware -- isn't it time we got a private, regulated email system?
And what about personal privacy? Every email we send and receive these days is stored forever on many ISP servers. As an example, most free email services never delete any email, which means if someone with a subpoena wants to see what you wrote five years ago, the free public email network must cough it up.
And then there's the issue of sensitive information you need to send to another party. You shouldn't use a phone, cell phone, fax, or public email because all of those are so easy to intercept. But if you were using a private, encrypted email network, you could send sensitive information with 100% confidence.
If you're a WiFi user, you really are vulnerable. Most WiFi networks are not protected, not up-to-date, which means when you log on and start sending email, every keystroke of yours can easily be intercepted by another laptop user just yards away. However, a private, encrypted email network would save you.
Okay, enough day dreaming. There really is a private email network that offers one-to-one private and encrypted messaging and file transfers. It's about time, actually. The new private system is called "Eyes Only Email" and it's free to register. The software is also free.
Here's just one fact you should be aware of: 1 in 8 Internet users have had a major, often costly spyware problem. (Consumer Reports, State of the Net 2006, 08/06.) Spyware does not and cannot exist on Eyes Only Email, a private messaging network.
If you're unhappy with the public email network, then take yourself off the grid and go private for one-on-one communications. You'll enjoy absolute privacy, encryption, and confidence.

How To Get Rid Of Spam For 2-Cents
Spammers spend thousands of hours trying to figure out how to get around spam filters on the public email network. A spammer's goal is to reach millions of people with the same email message and hope that enough folks respond to the offer.
Public email networks hire full-time programmers to write spam filters to block spam from your mailbox, but somehow the spammers seem to win. It's a never ending battle between the two and we Internet users are caught in the middle.
There is a simple solution: private email.
A private email network takes you off the public email grid so spammers can't find you. Not only that, but viruses can't find you either. It's a 100% secure and safe environment.
On a private email network, you can send and receive plain text messages or encrypted messages, your choice.
You can also send encrypted files if you wish.
Now here's the 2-cent catch. Each message you send or receive, each file you attach or receive will cost you 2-cents. Is it worth 2-cents to escape spam, viruses, phishers and junk mail? I think so. I use Eyes Only Email as my only method of communication now. I just tell my friends my account name and we communicate just like we did on the public grid, except now we feel safe and secure.
You'll need to download the free email software to use this private network, but once you've done that, you can start using the system immediately.
Big profit and low overhead is what spammers are after. They won't participate in a private email system because it increases their overhead tremendously. It would cost them $20,000 to send one million emails at 2-cents each. That isn't going to happen.
Besides being spam free, I like the option of sending sensitive information with encryption, another great feature of private email. Try it out today -- for 2-cents per message you can take yourself off the public email system.

How Often Should You Contact Your List?
One question that people have once they have a list whether that be past customers, newsletter subscribers, or leads is how often they should be contacting them.
There’s really no hard and fast answer to this question, but I can tell you that most people are so afraid of contacting their subscribers too often and annoying them that their err on the side of caution and don’t contact their people often enough.
You need to remember that if you’re not constantly reminding people that you’re still there, that someone else will, and that person will likely forget about you.
For example, if you’re not contacting your subscribers at least once a month, you’re just not contacting your customers often enough. A lot of people think that contacting subscribers everyday is way too often, but there are certainly areas where it works. I am on a list right now where every weekday I’m sent a short little email, and I read it everyday. However, these aren’t marketing and sales pitches, but rather little motivational blurbs – they’re short and take me less than a minute to read.
A good rule of thumb that works for a lot of people is to contact your subscribers once every 2-5 days. That’s often enough that they’ll remember who you are but not so often that they’re going to think they’re being bombarded with messages. Feel free to play around with this number and see what works best for you and your subscribers.
Also remember that not every contact that you make with your customers needs to be an advertisement for something. While sending free content to your subscribers or past customers may seem like a bad financial move, it can be a way to build up good will with your past customers or current subscribers, and when it comes time to buy, they’re going to remember you, and will be far more likely to do business with you.
