Choosing a web hosting plan for your personal blog may not be complicated at all, but when it comes to choosing the best web hosting UK service plan for your online business, you need to take the necessary precautions for sure. You would want to have the best web hosting service provider hosting your site, wouldn’t you? That is why you need to pay close attention to uptime guarantee, server features, and of course customer support.

Most web hosting service providers offer 99.9% uptime guarantee, but only few of them actually keep the guarantee in force. That is why comparing hosting plans and reviews essentially important; you will be able to avoid having to go through all the trouble again in the near future. Once you find a solid and reliable web hosting company providing the right service plan for your online businesses, it is time to check out features offered.

You will most likely use web applications to support your online businesses, so make sure the hosting plan you are getting can support the web apps smoothly. There are some known compatibility issues, but it would be best to simply ask questions or request a trial if you are not sure. By asking questions, you will also be testing the customer support.

We’re on it again! It’s been ages since we had our last paid review request over at this blog. Today, we will be reviewing a established web service by the name of Duneier. Duneier.net is a sophisticated rapidshare search engine that indexed rapidshare links throughout the internet. It has a “google” interface that provides a simple and clean yet easy to use feel. Unlike other similar rapidshare search engine that purely just run on turnkey scripts, Duneier rapidshare search engine has their own unique crawler (bot) that index links from the internet every seconds.

For those of you who might not be that techy savy enough, a crawler is a script that is written by the engineers to collect specific data from the internet ( websites). A powerful crawler plays a important part in defining how big the search engine can grow into. Since the launch of Duneier rapidshare search engine, it has already  indexed over 8 millions rapidshare links. Instead of just indexing links, i am told by the engineers behind Duneier that their crawler are actually capable of scanning the indexed links and check each and every links if their status are ok or deleted. If in any case where the links are deleted, the entries will be removed from their server database.

Before writing this review, i have been experimenting with the website, testing the features, the speed between searches etc. I have tried searching links for flashforward season 1 and demi lovato albums. You can go straight to the search page by clicking on the hyperlinks to see how it looks. The presentation of the results are pretty good and straightforward. A music file is represented by media player icon, a video file by digital film icon and a zip/rar file by a package icon. This is good as it allows users to differentiate between different file formats at the first glance.

There might be many questions on asking, why use Duneier rapidshare search engine while i can use google search? The answer is simple. It’s a more “niche” service. And i suppose that Duneier will be more efficient if you are searching for only files hosted on rapidshare. However, i am not saying that google search ain’t that good for searching rapidshare files. Use google if you can’t find what you want on Duneier, afterall google is notable for their ability to return most relevant results and their immense database.

Ways to improve the site

For every review here in future, we will be giving the owner some feedbacks that we thought can be implemented to improve their website further. As a web designer myself, i  feel that the logo can be improved further. A catchy and memorable logo can create good brand awareness for the audience. Also, more features on the result page further enhance the presentation of information. One good example will be the ratings, to allows users to rate the listing, whether the file is  relevant or correct. Comments is also another good way of getting feedbacks. Users can comment on listing, whether the video is of good quality or not. All these simple features can allows other users to know if that’s the correct file that they wants.

So if you are looking for rapidshare links, why not give Duneier rapidshare search engine a try? Hope it helps.

In this internet era that we are living in now, the web hosting service providers are probably having a hard time, fighting with one another,  for customers to engage their services everyday. With millions of website being hosted daily, the web hosting industry is a indeed a very competitive industry. Of course, there are many web hosting companies out there in the market, catering the needs to host that million of websites. But, as a consumer of such services, how are you going to choose among that millions of companies?

Today, we are glad to introduce a website that helps consumers like me and you to make that difficult choice. Upperhost is a website that offer great and detailed reviews of different web hosting companies. ( I would probably say, some of the most established companies in the niche). It strives to provide the best web hosting service reviews and solutions for users by consistently updating their weekly chart and testing of their services.

The main objective of Upperhost is to provide realistic and reliable reviews of different web hosting companies in the industry. Therefore, unlike others web hosting review sites, Upperhost does not take in any advertisements from third parties to specifially promote their services. This is indeed good as advertisements can tends to mislead users when making a choice. Upperhost is made up of  a team of over 20+ experienced webmasters. These webmasters are responsible for testing the individual web hosting services and providing honest and reliable web hosting reviews for the users. It’s not just a one hour work in writing the review and that’s it. These webmasters spent hours and hours per week, researching the various web hosting services, testing out it’s different features and how it caters to different consumers with different needs.

I would say Upperhost is a very different web hosting review site that i come across compared to others. One such thing is that opinions and ratings is not based on clicks & ratings ( from visitors) or advertising dollars. It’s is solely solely based on a team of professional webmasters that know the industy needs well.

As a web developer, i have been consistently looking for web hosting providers to host projects. Therefore, upperhost will definitely eliminate the excessive time that i will spent googling for suitable providers. If you happen to be looking for web hosting, i would recommend you to read the hostgator web hosting review and the hostmonster review over at Upperhost. For your information, i have been a loyal customer of Hostgator for years.

That’s all for my review of Upperhost and hope this website will in turn make your life more easier when chooseing your web hosting providers.

Do you believe that a mere investment of $$7.15USD can make you hundred of dollars monthly? I know that many people will think that this is a scam when they first saw the title of this post. If you happen to think like this, you are just one of the many ignorant people in the world that could’nt see the “light”, the “power” that lies behind internet. In this post, i will be emphasizing on the “main principles” that is hidden behind making money online. I will be sharing and stating examples on why one should be making use of the internet ( making websites ) to make money. Please note that this post is not targeted at people who are already making money online, it’s specially written for people who have absolutely no experience in making money online and would like to learn more and do so.

At a start, i thought that to make money online, one need to know how to develop a website. But i was wrong. Case studies in the web shows that even if you are not tech-savy enough to make a website, it doesn’t mean you can’t make money online. Well, not ALL web developers/designers know how to make money online. So don’t worry if you don’t know anything about making websites, you can still make money though. Do you know that the most successful web design company in Austrialia is run by a guy who have absolutely no idea on how to even create a simple html page? 10 years back, it’s easy to make money online! NOW, it’s even easier!! Why do i say this? Just look at the number of people who manage to make money online now compared to the number in the past, it’s growing!

So now, are you convinced that making money online doesn’t require any programming/designing skills? Back to the main topic, how did $$7.15USD makes me $180USD on autopilot? Actually, if you have an existing blog, you already have the potential or resources to make money through it. You just need do so some hardwork and tweaking to start the ëngine” of your money machine. Let me share the amount of money that i invested in this blog. It’s $7.15 USD. Yes, it’s not a lie. Now, this blog is worth at least 200 x more than the inital investment. I have listed it for sale to gauge the worth, and you can see that it get bids over $1000 USD. Since the day i launched this blog, it has made me thousands of dollars already. ( through advertisments, selling reviews etc ) And it all started with just $7.15USD. That’s why i am into ÏNTERNET”

The second part of the post, i will be sharing on how you can tweak your existing blog to start making money. Note that it’s not some step by step tutorial, it’s just some main principles that you should be doing to start off.

What to blog about?

If you are dead serious about making money off your blogs, i will recommend you to blog about things that you have an extensive knowledge of. Examples, games, sports, etc. Normally, users visits blog to learn more about new things, so if you ain’t  any celebrities, models, or well-known personals, don’t monetize your personal blogs. I would recommend you to start a new blog and blog about stuffs that will interest others. A niche blog will be far easier to promote compared to a personal blog.

Driving Traffic

The most crucial factor before being able to make money online is to have traffic to your blog. Even if you have developed a superb, cool web service or application, if you did not drive traffic to let the world knows about it. You fail. This is also one of the reason why many websites failed though they have potential. What’s the use of having the website but not being able to publicize it and let the world know about it? You do not have any idea on how to start building traffic? Below are a list of posts that may helps:

1. How To Get Traffic To Your Blog
2. Building Page Rank – Rank Right up There!
3. 8 simple ways to SEO your blog to perform better in Google
4. 5 secrets to gain more backlinks for your blog
5. I have a website but no one knows about it! Why?

Selling Advertising

If you asked me,  the easiest and slackest way to earn money online is through selling advertising. Of course, you would need to have a platform to place ads, in this case, the platform is the blog. Also, advertisements is the key to passive income. This blog is making $180 USD passively from advertisements from various sources like Kontera, BuySell Ads, Text-Link-Ads and it’s private ad management center. For blogs, i would also recommend selling reviews. (Good source of income if you like writing)

3 main steps to make money off a blog

In summary, the 3 main steps to start money off your blog is to start blogging about topics that will interest others, then drive traffic to your blog and once traffic is consistent,  join ads programs that pays. With the correct techiques and perseverance, anyone can make money off their blogs now!

I hope this post actually can inspire and encourage you to start monetizing your blog. Don’t remember to leave a comment back here if you succeed in making your dollar.

Is your computer getting ill? Are you experiencing laggyness when you are playing war of warcraft or left 4 dead? If that’s what happening, you definitely need to upgrade your computer! You know, Humans can’t survive without a good computer nowadays. So now, are you looking for an online vendor to buy merchanise to upgrade your computer?

There is tons of companies out there that sell these computer components, but what i am reviewing now, is a trustable, established ecommerce that provide excellent service. Aren’t that what customers are looking for when they buy products online?

This website that i am going to recommend and introduce to all of you today is an ecommerce site selling computer related products. It’s called Memory America. BETTER FROM THE BEGINNING? Will their products be as what their slogan means? Check out the review below!

MemoryAmerica.com is an established ecommerce in united states, dedicated in selling computer related products ranging from hardrives, RAMs, motherboards to gaming accessories. I just found out about this company recently and have been checking out most of it’s products since then. You know, my computer just broke down, and i am looking to build one really soon.  The prices seems to be fairly budget and reasonable for almost all the products. 

Apart from those competitive cheap prices, Memory America offers great support service as well.  You know, the best company is not one that provide damn cheap prices, but is one that offers quality customer service. In Memory America, you can see that they value these three words. Easy, Efficient, Helpful. If you think that this site is’nt credible at all, you can be assured by calling their hotline toll number or live support chat. I have a pretty nice conversation with one of the chat operators regarding one of their products; actually i am thinking of buying some cheap gaming accessories at a discounted price ( computer memory cards and motherboard) .  I will let you know how it turns out!

Well, i have also done some researching in google regarding this company and reviews from past customers. My mentality, I always believe it’s best and smart to research a company before engaging it’s services. Below is what some of it’s past customers are saying about them!

Pretty positive & nice reviews right? 

So next time, if you are looking to buy some computer parts, don’t forget to check Memory America out! I have already  bookmarked Memory America in my list of trusted websites and i hope you do the same too!

A few weeks ago, i talk about about webmasters forum, today i am here to introduce another potential webmaster forum “in the making”.

Lovingtech ( http://www.lovingtech.net) is a webmaster forum founded by Ryan, based in liverpool, UK. I received his invitation to this webmaster forum a few weeks ago but only get to blog about it today. Most of you are already regular members of popular big forums like sitepoint or digitalpoint, and i am sure you guys are “expert” in the forum software used.

However, Lovingtech is something different! Instead of using the widely used vbulletin software, Lovingtech is built based on MyBB – an open source forum software. With a professional uniquely skinned forum design,  Lovingtech sure differentiate itself from most of it’s compeititors. In addition to just implementing one default design, Lovingtech also allows it’s members to choose between it’s database of themes available and deploy one that satisfy them the most. Of course, Lovingtech is not just about having a stunning design & look, it’s collection of forums is what that impressed me when i first joined it.

Unlike most of the webmaster forums that only provides those common forums like SEO, Making money online blah blah, Lovingtech contains other interesting technology forums like Gaming and Console, Apple, Microsoft. Like what their brand implies, it’s aim is to provide a common place for technology lovers on all subjects ranging from gadgets to web designing and programming.

In just 2 weeks, Lovingtech has already grown into a community with hundreds of technology lovers. Nice work by the team of Lovingteam! I just have an short dialogue session with Ryan, founder of Lovingtech. Looks what he have to say about Lovingtech?

1)   Hi Ryan, Why you created lovingtech.net?

I setup LovingTech because there didn’t seem to be a forum that focuses solely on community, I felt this was something that needed to be addressed, and I believe we have achieved it with LovingTech. I built the site for the users – I took my users in the process with me, getting their feedback and thoughts – LovingTech is for the users.

2)   Lovingtech is growing exponentially in just a few weeks, what are your future plans for it?

By building a solid foundation of users combined with innovative and reliable search engine optimization techniques, we want to create and manage the largest Technology forums on the net, anchoring all subjects of Technology including websites, gadgets, computers, gaming & webmaster related discussions. We also want to provide a well respected and authority news site / blog service, which we have made progress with – being accepted into the UK’s largest News Aggregator, NewNow. We believe that all we need is people knowing we exist, we always hear positive feedback about our site and everyone we talk to about it has positive things to say – they sign up

3) Most forums online uses Vbulletin, why you choose MyBB?

I uses use MyBB because MyBB focuses on forum not social networking, which is what we want to achieve. I wanted something different! I believes simplicity is everything with the forum design! If something doesn’t need to be there – it isn’t. We haven’t used table borders – what’s they’re purpose! We’re the most user friendly webmaster forums on the net!

Well, That’s all about it! Join  Lovingtech.net if you have not! ( referral link)

If you have typed the keyword, “digitalpoint ban” or ” banned from digitalpoint” in google, you will most probably come across the blog entry i posted a couple of months ago. Being banned for apparently no reason or explanation at all, i am sure anyone won’t be happy about it. What is the administration of webmaster forum turning into? Does we users have a say? Are there any better webmasters forum in the net that is worth registering and contributing? Yes, there is one……

Today, i am glad to introduce a brand new webmaster forum, called Netbuilders.org to all of you. 

Overview of Netbuilders.org 

Before we go into the details of my experience in Netbuilders, let me do a brief introduction of the guy who founded this forum. Will Spencer is a fulltime webmaster who has been an early adopter of the internet since the 1980s. Up to now, He own hundreds of websites which make him $70k plus monthly. 

What can you find in Netbuilders?

Like most of the webmaster forums out there, netbuilders is powered with the latest VBulletin forum software and VBSEO. With a sparkling web 2.0 logo and skin design, it makes navigating and browsing of the forum pretty neat and comfortable. As for the forum, it has sections ranging from domaining, programming to the  marketplace. Though there’s not a vast number of sections, it’s current sections looks adequate to serve the forum well. ( I am sure W.Spencer will add more sections as time goes by)

Unlike Digitalpoint, there are a few more features in Netbuilders. There’s a FlashChat which allows users to mingle with each other in realtime. And in addition to it, registered members can also create their own blogs in Netbuilders. Thats cool right?

My Experiences with Netbuilders

I first joined this forum after receiving an email from Will. At first, i wasn’t really “into” registering another webmaster forum, but i changed my mind after visiting it after a couple of times. In Netbuilders.org, you can see Will and his moderators really working hard to make Netbuilders a better webmaster forum.

To support my above statement, just visit this thread at here.  :)

The moderators team also consist of some old, reputable member from Digitalpoint. Though Netbuilders is currently smaller than most of the already established webmaster forum like Digitalpoint and v7n, it’s growing at a rapid rate with 700 members and 11k post in just 2 months. That’s a pretty remarkable achievement for a new forum. 

For those of you who have not join Netbuilders, please join and check it out now!

Does your company have multiple domain names with similar content because of domain masking?  You might think that the pointer domains appear in various sites, but you still have just one main site.  Google, when they index your pointer domains, may actually index all the domains you have or just drop them completely.  If this is something happening to you then you need to know what to do.  Google usually only indexes the original website and content, which means you are losing consumer base if you don’t fix the problem.

domain masking, pointer domains

Google and other search engines don’t like domain masking or pointer domains.  They believe the sites to be a duplicate site.  For example you have a URL www.cats-dogs-petcare.com.  You also have a URL www.allpetneeds.com.  The domain name names are different.  However, the pages are actually showing similar content.  In fact you just copied and pasted information from one site to the other, with no changes.  Google then does a crawl of the two sites.  The search engine sees duplicate content.  Google now decides to choose the first site over the second and displays it in the results. 

Google may also decide that since both are duplicate content neither site will be shown in the results section, therefore both are not indexed.  The best thing to do in this case is to get rid of one site completely.  You don’t want to have the domain masking, which is essentially a different name for the site.  You should also change any pointer domains you have to a permanent 301 redirect to the main site.  This means anyone using the alternate site will be sent directly to your new page. 

After you have ended the masking of pages from Google you can get your missing pages back.  All you have to do is log into the Google Webmaster Tools and submit a request for consideration.  You should explain the problem you had, that you corrected it, and see if they will allow the pages to reappear.  Typically after reconsideration Google will index the none duplicate pages again.

If you over look what we have mentioned in this article it could damage the search engine optimisation of your website. This could be a terrible shame if you have a high quality website which is not getting ranked well for it’s relevant keyphrases just because you overlooked such details.
