Web Hosting: 4 Factors in Choosing a Hosting Company
When choosing a web hosting company there are a whole lot of different factors that should go into your decision making process. One of the biggest factors should be:
- Phone support. Email support is nice, but email occasionally falls in between the virtual cracks. Getting someone on the phone when your site goes down can take a lot of mystery out of the entire process. A lot of the bigger web hosting companies offer toll free support and weekend hours to boot.
Phone support is a great benefit for any web hosting client.
- Another factor to use in deciding whether to use a particular web hosting company is their history. How long has this company been in business? Web hosting companies that have been in existence for less than a year might not be the best choice. A hosting company with a proven track record and a ton of happy clients is certainly a good sign and might work well for you.
- How about the company's software? This varies widely between web hosting companies. I am rather fond of Cpanel merely because I am used to it, understand where the buttons are and what the features do. It's much easier to stick with something you know than switching to a new User Interface.
Some web hosts offer Frontpage features and others don't. Another specific area you might want to research are the statistics programs. What sort of web statistics software is included with your web hosting account? Is Awstats included? This is one area you definitely want to heavily research before signing up.
- Fees. I'd rather pay a little more to get all the features than fight it out with a sub par web hosting company who I can't reach if my site goes down. I've found decent web hosting for as cheap as $4 per month but generally pay around $15 per month if I want all the bells and whistles that I'll need to host a larger site.
A lot of people worry about hosting fees, but I've had the experience that I generally get what I pay for.

Mobile Phone Viruses and Bluetooth ? Just What the Network Operators Want?
Instead of educating customers and shipping phones in a safe default mode, it's becoming fashionable to blame Bluetooth.
Is it hype or should we worry?
Nick Hunn, CTO of Ezurio Ltd ? one of the world's leading developers of Bluetooth solutions, explains the facts in a new white paper entitled "Mobile phone viruses ? just what the network operators want?"
(www.ezurio.com/documents/mobile_viruses.pdf). It explains what a Bluetooth virus is and how to prevent catching one.
It also addresses the worrying fact that their appearance may even be seen as an advantage by some network operators.Ezurio's paper questions the approach that is being taken by network operators and phone manufacturers. At least one phone manufacturer is using the phrase "Infect your friends" as part of their current sales campaign.
Drawing on their experience of the mobile industry, Ezurio discusses...

Hold That Hold...Please!
It never fails.
Whether ordering a pizza or making a doctor's appointment, I hear it almost every time.
"Can I put you on hold?", they ask.
Before I have a chance to even answer...I am on hold!
What just happened?
Was it a rhetorical question?
Why even give me the option?
Why not just say, "Welcome to XYZ, where we promptly put you on hold!".
Some people hate automated phone systems, but not me.
I like to be informed of where I stand in any given situation.
I would rather have an honest computerized voice telling me I will have to wait (and also likely telling me for approximately how long), than to encounter a real life human being who will tease me with a choice and then make the decision on my behalf in a split second.
Imagine if everyone you encountered operated this way.
You might be standing in line at a fast food restaurant and be asked if you'd like to try a new item...
