For those of you watching my recent twittering, you probably noticed that I ordered myself a new PC. The one thing that made me really reluctant about moving from my old 3 or 4 year old previous Windows XP machine was Windows Vista. I have heard so many horror stories on the Web how could somebody not be scared?
After spending some time with it last night though I have to say it is not that bad. Sure, there is room for improvement - but think about any previous Windows version. It is never “right” when you pull it out of the box. It takes a lot of tweaking, love, tossing midgets at it and affection before you get it the way you want it to be. Read the rest of this entry »

Ok, before you give me a hard time because of how lame I once said Twitter is, remember - its my birthday so you have to be nice to me! I have decided to jump on the bandwagon after becoming bored with Pownce and see what all the buzz was about.

When asking any business for support, you should make sure you do so by including all the details that might be needed to answer that support request. Sometimes just posting a simple question is not enough and you need to make sure you explain yourself so you can get an answer quicker.
First thing you should do is state your question. Make it short, simple and to the point. You see after this simple step many people stop and just send that in to a support team. That alone is not enough.
You need to include more details about what it is you are asking about, why you think you need it and what it is exactly. The more oddball your question - the more information somebody might need. For example this question here:
Do you support WordPress on your Web hosting accounts? WordPress is a blogging engine that uses PHP, MySQL and more. Here is an example of the specs list needed for hosting it.
Is easier to answer than:
Hi there I want to install a script for something but I need to know if you support my thingies I need for it thanks.
Support professionals in any arena are not mind readers. You have to try to do your best job at layout out the question in a way anybody could understand if you want the quickest results.

Are you the guy that is always turned to when it comes to helping your friends get a Web site up and going?
If the answer is yes, then you might be missing out on a good deal that not too many people outside of the Web hosting industry know about. You could set yourself up a reseller hosting account and charge your friends whatever you want for doing their hosting with you. You could be your own little Web host.
+ How much money will I make?
Consider this, each Web site you buy from the Web host costs $5 a month to you. If you go back and charge your friend $7 for the service, then you are already making $2 a month profit. That is an extra $24 in your pocket after a year for doing what you would probably already be doing for free.
Now let us add in a few more friends, lets say you are hosting ten different Web sites for ten different plans. You charge each friend $7 a month and you are looking at a profit of $240 after one year.
You are already making that kind of cash and you only bumped the price up $2! Just think what the numbers would look like if you charge your buddies $10 or $20 a month for hosting plus your “costs” of keeping their Web sites up, running, and looking nice.
+ How do I get started making money?
Just about every Web host out there has a reseller Web hosting package for you to pick. For a good place to search for Web hosting in general - I would recommend checking out FindMyHosting.com. You might also ask around at places like WebHostingChat.com and see which places get you the best deals.
