A Great Web Hosting Resource

Searching for website hosting can both a confusing and tedious task, albeit a necessary one. There are just so many hosting companies out there, and they all seem to the look very similar, and make the same promises as each other. Unfortunately, if you fail to do your homework, and chose a poor host, the frustration of technical problems and downtime will probably be just around the corner.

It’s important to take the time to read what others have to say about the specific hosts you are considering, as you will want to make sure that they offer all of the features your website requires, as well as the customer service to help out if problems arise.

For me, when I’m considering a new web host, I rely heavily on the information provided by The Web Hosting Geeks. The Web Hosting Geeks is a website that provides all of the information you could ask for when deciding if a web host is able to meet your needs. They provide data on features, pricing, and best of all offer detailed and honest reviews.

The reviews are especially helpful, as they do not offer just one review, but a collection of opinions from a variety of folks who have used a web host’s services. If you have something to say about a hosting company you’ve used in the past, you can even head over there and voice your opinion. It’s a great way to help other webmasters out!

The Online TV Market Is Becoming Crowded!

November 27th, 2008 | Posted in web design

To me, the success and widespread use of TV, movies and internet being accessed from one common place is only a matter of time. The technology is there, and as more and more companies realize this, there is an increased demand for a piece of the online TV/movie pie.

The latest name to add itself into the mix is Sling Media, who has launched a revamped version of their Sling.com video viewing website. The website allows users to watch popular shows and even films online. It’s competition for companies like YouTube and Hulu, who have already been providing these services.

The service is only available within the US at this time, which is a little annoying, but not surprising to those of us North of the border. I wonder if Canadian’s will get to join in the fun anytime soon?

Find Vanities On The Web!

November 26th, 2008 | Posted in business

There’s nothing one can’t find on the internet! In fact, for that reason, it’s very quickly becoming my favorite place to shop. Today I came across a great e-commerce website, called BuyVanitiesOnline, that offers a variety of bathroom vanities online.

I was especially impressed with their selection of discount bathroom vanities, as like many people during these harsh economic times, I wouldn’t mind saving a few dollars! Actually, most prices I saw on the BuyVanitiesOnline website were surprising low, especially compared to the retail vanity shops I’ve visited.

BuyVanitiesOnline has some truly gorgeous pieces, and I found myself really enjoying the shopping process, as there are so many lovely and unique items available. Maybe there’s even too many to chose from, as I found a few bathroom vanities that I’ll have to show the family and have them choose between!

The piece that I am particularly leaning toward is their 72″ Antique Cherry Double Vanity, which is absolutely stunning. I’m considering it as a bit of a holiday gift for my husband and I, as it is large and will give us both a lot more elbow room as we get ready for work in the morning! Cherry wood is very elegant, and the choice of a Granite or Travertine countertop is available. I know I’ll be choosing granite, as I just love its sparkle.
