It is also true that the price of hosting has decreased over the past few years. It is now more affordable than ever to host your website. One should be careful however, of opting for the very cheapest that you can find. Most often, these providers do overselling. This basically works on almost the same principle as airlines that do overbooking. Because airlines realise that about 10% to 15% of people who book their tickets will actually never make it to the plane, the allow overbooking of tickets of up to 10%.</b><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The trouble comes when EVERYONE decides to pitch up and use their tickets. That is when you get long queues, grumbling passengers and air hostesses that seem to have smiles pasted onto their faces....</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">The problem is that hosting providers often sell large amounts of hard disk space and </span><span style="font-size:85%;"><a id="KonaLink0" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static; font-family: arial;" href="http://www.articlesfactory.com/articles/internet/looking-for-cheap-hosting-solutions.html#"><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0) ! important; font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Verdana,Arial;" ><span class="kLink" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(153, 0, 0); color: rgb(153, 0, 0) ! important; font-weight: 400; position: static;">bandwidth</span></span></a> </span>for very cheaply, knowing full well that you will never use the space. The problem comes in when everyone starts unexpectedly using all their space and bandwidth allocated to them. Then everyone suffers. <span style="font-family:arial;">But let's look at the principles of shared hosting - what it is and who it works for.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">~Shared Hosting~</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Shared hosting is the best solution for most small and medium websites. The most important advantage is cost. Shared hosting is much cheaper and affordable than hosting on dedicated servers.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Even though in theory you should just sign up for the features that you will really need and thereby avoid paying extra costs, the truth is that web hosting packages are really becoming more and more feature rich while becoming cheaper at the same time. You will therefore GET a lot of features whether you need them or not. This is not a bad thing since it does mean that you can easily upgrade your account or install new software when you find that you are requiring more functionality than when you started. </span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Shared hosting is also good for web hosting companies. It can host hundreds of small and medium websites on a single server. This reduces the installation and maintenance costs, and gives the hosting company a higher return on investment.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Because of the danger of overselling however, you should ensure that the company uses state-of-the art servers with high processing power. These servers should be connected to the Internet on high speed bandwidth lines so that there is no choking when the traffic spurts. Most of these companies do advertise the type of servers that they use. If they do not disclose their server specifications, it might be better to steer away from them. Ask a friend, family member or Internet expert for assistance in trying to understand which servers are good and which are not.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">You should be able to upgrade easily between packages should the need arise to move to a larger server or more bandwidth.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">The web host must also offer 24x7 toll-free technical support rendered by experienced and professionally trained technicians.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">You especially need to check whether the hosting company owns servers or is reselling hosting solutions. The latter situation is not conducive for your needs because the web host is only a middleman and is not in control of the solutions that he is selling. You may find that the services provided are not in keeping with the promises made.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">~Your exit strategy~</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">You must always have a backup plan in case your web host goes bankrupt. This should include maintaining a backup of all your data you post on the web site. You should not depend on the backups done by the hosting company themselves but should make sure that you run your own backups through the control panel (and you definitely SHOULD have a control panel!)</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">This is also why you should always register your domain name with an independent registrar and not with the hosting company itself, since if they do go bankrupt, you might not only lose your website content</span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.articlesfactory.com/articles/computers.html"><img src="http://www.articlesfactory.com/pic/x.gif" alt="Computer Technology Articles" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">, but your complete domain.</span> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" class="txt-small-regular"> Article Tags: <a href="http://www.articlesfactory.com/search/Hosting%20Solutions/" class="right-link">Hosting Solutions</a>, <a href="http://www.articlesfactory.com/search/Shared%20Hosting/" class="right-link">Shared Hosting</a>, <a href="http://www.articlesfactory.com/search/Hosting%20Company/" class="right-link">Hosting Company</a> </p><div style="text-align: justify;"> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" class="txt-small-regular">Source: <a href="http://www.articlesfactory.com/" class="small-link" title="Free Articles">Free Articles</a> from ArticlesFactory.com</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"> </p><h1 style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><br /></h1><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>zed_surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12666063596374598815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240057592297614293.post-58910934638014315832009-03-29T00:42:00.002+07:002009-03-29T00:45:10.898+07:00How to Back Up Windows Vista<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirh_boyS2A-ZzA8pSDqINBgIX2N19YoVklstIagON-lYvem8M4KwwBlj0_1a8_9zdrOqaAbrO0ahHHIO9PdWsuBim52CfxOjiBsbpL7PKtNsqGFTLn2RZQRTNKq-9MdaAvUqTEUPQH49T3/s1600-h/vista+bandwagon.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 151px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirh_boyS2A-ZzA8pSDqINBgIX2N19YoVklstIagON-lYvem8M4KwwBlj0_1a8_9zdrOqaAbrO0ahHHIO9PdWsuBim52CfxOjiBsbpL7PKtNsqGFTLn2RZQRTNKq-9MdaAvUqTEUPQH49T3/s320/vista+bandwagon.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318295897468322674" /></a><br />In today’s world it has never been more important to backup your computer files. Still most people do not think of backing up their data until it’s too late. You need a plan of action before your computer hardware goes out or before your Windows Vista operating system takes a dive.<br /><br />All most all versions of Windows Vista have some sort of auto backup feature included in the operating system. Vista starter does not and only basic functionality in Vista home. Business and Ultimate have a complete backup and restore function. This is what you really want to use but for all the other Vista versions it is not included and third party software should be used in it’s place.<br /><br />What Can I backup?<span class="fullpost"> . . . . <br /><br />Ultimate and Business have a full backup feature. This allows you to make an image of your drive. In English it backups up all programs, settings and files. If your drive crashes or you have a hardware failure you simply take this image and reload it. You will not have to re-install all your other computer files and programs. It’s the best and easiest method. Because of the cost to develop such software most home end users will not have these two OS versions.<br /><br />For Home and Premium you are not able to backup programs but can backup settings and personal files and folders like documents, pictures, music and the like. If you do not buy backup software then you should at least take advantage of this free feature in Vista.<br /><br />What do I need for backup?<br /><br />Only you can decide the best backup solution. Personally it’s a no brainer for me. I have 40 plus programs installed on my system so I need a full image backup of my computer in case it goes down. I don’t have time to re-load and look for all my software discs. I use Vista premium and while Microsoft’s free backup program is nice it does not do the full backup that I want.<br /><br />Most newer computers have two hard drives in them already. If yours does then consider making one just for the backup of your system. You should never backup the data onto the same drive were the original data is stored. If you do not have a second hard drive then consider paying a hundred plus dollars and getting an external one. Sundays paper is a great way to look for deals on this.<br /><br />If you had to choose a particular backup program I would say go with Acronis. This is one of the few computer backup programs on the market that lets you do a full image backup and is very easy to use. The cost is the same as most and for the money it is one of the best on the market. Not all people will need a full image backup. If you have many programs installed then you should consider it. Regardless you really need to develop a data backup plan and stick to it. Some day you will thank your lucky stars that you did.</span>zed_surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12666063596374598815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240057592297614293.post-52434088124021024862009-03-29T00:38:00.004+07:002009-03-29T00:42:23.636+07:00Remove Virus Heat<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD2KbAAtsOuiIdvsxnSDmPfq6zlnlU901duhmhqvZCLa_VO2-V2EyGMR8EdadlpcSV4HTjNopktSjik8vS_JIsNNdWcKQnwaF9mGLgEZZgyvDu6afgtcu9Ihl7TDtcS2yhLvwqIelGTMbF/s1600-h/virus.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 170px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD2KbAAtsOuiIdvsxnSDmPfq6zlnlU901duhmhqvZCLa_VO2-V2EyGMR8EdadlpcSV4HTjNopktSjik8vS_JIsNNdWcKQnwaF9mGLgEZZgyvDu6afgtcu9Ihl7TDtcS2yhLvwqIelGTMbF/s320/virus.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318295201517587810" /></a><br />Virus Heat is known as rouge spyware software. Many people who have anti-virus software installed on their system wonder how it got through in the first place. The answer is simple. Anti-Virus software does not protect against spyware.<br /><br />How do you know when you have Virus Heat?<br /><span class="fullpost">. . . . <br /><br />This answer is simple. Virus Heat is the name of the spyware program that pops up right away when you boot up your computer. It looks like a legitament anti-virus program. This software runs a quick fake scan on start up and then tells you that you are infected with all kinds of things. Your home page is normally highjacked as well and you most likely have a ton of pop-ups as well. In addition most people have a security shield that is active in their system tray.<br /><br />How do I remove Virus Heat from my computer?<br /><br />There are many different ways to remove Virus Heat form your system. The more important thing to consider first is full protection. You got infected because you did not have proper protection. It amazes me how many people just want to remove a virus or spyware but not consider full protection. Your just going to get in the same book again and next time it might be something far worse then Virus Heat.<br /><br />Something you can try to do to remove Virus heat is go into you control panel and simply remove this software. Often times this works. It does not always work but it’s quick to try. Another great way is to do a system restore. If you were infected with Virus Heat just a few days ago then chances are this will work. You will still need to install anti-spyware software for full protection.<br /><br />I already had protection so why did I get infected and why won’t my software remove it?<br /><br />This simple answer is not all anti-spyware software is the same. Only a few anti-spyware programs are actually good at removing Virus Heat once infected. Many do a very poor job at preventing spyware in the first place. Any program that is free will not do an adequate job at protecting your system. It seems I have to fight with people over this all the time but after being in the computer field for a dozen years and repairing thousands of computers that have this free software to protect them I know for a fact it just is not enough.<br /><br />Most of the time people get infected with Virus heat from a fake video codec. They are asked to download and install some software to watch a video or listen to music and that is how they became infected.</span>zed_surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12666063596374598815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240057592297614293.post-5593120408075124912009-03-29T00:34:00.002+07:002009-03-29T00:38:16.140+07:00How to maintain, creating Updating your website<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihfR04Tj3J4HEGBx86NmG3sHUi8qhUItPJP9U0BZOraSbUAQpIBaWTy1nWfaQXGzDf-VwyHP6i7G-Wn5-bHdtVrhfQabeBZtp34er8iCep7_3ot4uhqOR6wd5RtfsW2s6lzsgOfezRPgxE/s1600-h/net.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 170px; height: 128px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihfR04Tj3J4HEGBx86NmG3sHUi8qhUItPJP9U0BZOraSbUAQpIBaWTy1nWfaQXGzDf-VwyHP6i7G-Wn5-bHdtVrhfQabeBZtp34er8iCep7_3ot4uhqOR6wd5RtfsW2s6lzsgOfezRPgxE/s320/net.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318294077410062466" /></a><br />To developed a website is a nice for our business task.

Extensively discusses and analyzed Microsoft’s Windows Vista is scheduled for an end 2006 release with the corporate version coming first.<br /><br />According to reports Windows Vista is all set to satisfy every need:<span class="fullpost">. . . .<br /><br />1. Security is comprehensive and takes care of every imaginable problem. Windows and spyware library are streamlined as also administrator tools.<br /><br />2. The back up software is state-of –art and computer systems can be installed across several states and countries within a company by simple creating an image.<br /><br />3. Windows side bar is atoll that has been designed to provide regular or continuous updates on weather, stock movements, temperature, sports scores and more. This just means you will be able to keep a tab on these while you are working on the main screen.<br /><br />4. The internet explorer 7 has enhanced privacy management and security functions are all at the next level. The color coded address bar will indicate whether a page is designed to “phish” information or whether it is authentic.<br /><br />5. A feature awaited for with bated breath is high-end graphics and aero-glass interface with great 3D rendering, animation, and effects. Translucent icons and other elements are all the latest technology and allow functions like viewing real time on minimized windows without opening programs. The Windows Vista is designed for people who multitask.<br /><br />6. Integrated desktop search will allow powerful indexing, user specific searches and data access, and ease of filing and storing much used URLs. Searches can be extended to other PCs on the network by using Windows Longhorn.<br /><br />7. Updates are streamlined and can be done directly without the use of Internet Explorer. A key component of the new system is said to be Windows Defender.<br /><br />8. Windows Vista brings with it updated and revolutionary Windows Media Player, with an MP3 library. The Windows Photo Gallery in Vista brings photo library functionality and in Vista photos can get mega tags, titles, ratings, and what are more there are systems that allow limited editing and printing too.<br /><br />9. Windows Vista recognizes parental concerns regarding computers and the World Wide Web. The new software has enhanced systems that allow greater parental control. Parents can limit access to files, and web pages, block sites, lock downloads, and screen objectionable content. Guess what even games can be blocked based on the game’s Entertainment Software Rating.<br /><br />10. Back ups are visionary in Windows Vista. The system can be set to take periodic snapshots of your whole operating system as well as files. This means in case of total break down you will not loose any data or software.<br /><br />Windows Vista brings great news for business users. It not just facilitates P2P collaboration, but Vista users can share files and other data across the network. It allows even a mobile workforce to utilize computers while traveling.<br /><br />Although there are releases, reviews, and speculation one needs to wait until Windows Vista is in actual use to judge how many hopes and promises are going to come true.<br /><br />microsoft vista window, vista window, microsoft vista, download free vista window, download vista</span>zed_surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12666063596374598815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240057592297614293.post-82071505265498192892009-03-28T02:54:00.004+07:002009-03-28T03:01:26.088+07:005 Hardware Essentials for Installing Microsoft Windows Vista<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjikUY_0l30ue7NCi_r6vgmFByXFoqmrcDZyurna24MURIuezW6hySZBMJDqKiB6AKYHHQSpuSS7hjy8lYGk09bxpqZCDFv0mHSUbCDTc0ORz40f78hkkX0ALDD38Ny3XNngrWYgsq5CeFX/s1600-h/vista.gif"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 148px; height: 28px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjikUY_0l30ue7NCi_r6vgmFByXFoqmrcDZyurna24MURIuezW6hySZBMJDqKiB6AKYHHQSpuSS7hjy8lYGk09bxpqZCDFv0mHSUbCDTc0ORz40f78hkkX0ALDD38Ny3XNngrWYgsq5CeFX/s320/vista.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317960023903545890" /></a><br />Windows Vista works based on the capabilities of the hardware installed. Windows Vista Capable PCs and Windows Vista Premium Ready PCs both are geared for running Windows Vista but the experience varies with the “premium” delivering more advanced user experience.<br /><br />Even if you are just considering installing Windows Vista in the far or near future when buying a new laptop or PC you must check the hardware configuration so that the computer is in actuality capable of running Windows Vista in all its glory.<br /><span class="fullpost"> . . . .<br /><br />According to Microsoft:<br /><br />• A Windows Capable PC must have:<br />o An 800MZ modern processor.<br /><br />o System memory of 512 MZ.<br /><br />o A graphics card that is DirectX 9 capable.<br /><br />• A Premium Ready PC must have:<br />o 1 GHz with a x86 or x64 bits.<br /><br />o 1GB memory card.<br /><br />o 128 MB graphics memory which supports DirectX 9 graphics.<br /><br />o 40GB hard drive with 15 GB free space.<br /><br />o DVD rom drive.<br /><br />o Audio output.<br /><br />o Internet access capability.<br /><br />o TV tuner card specific for Windows Vista.<br /><br />o A TPM 1.2 chip or USB 2.0 key.<br /><br />o Electromagnetic digitizer pen.<br /><br /><br />To completely experience Windows Vista features a computer must be state of art and have at least a 40GB harddrive and 15GB of free space. Most Pcs in use today have neither the memory or graphic processors that will run Windows Vista without a major overhaul. And according to Robert McLaws a Windows Vista tester, “Windows Aero is a great eye candy feature, but most families should not drop what they've got and get a fast new machine for it,"<br /><br />Before you rush and spend money on upgrades you must consider what is important to you. In Vista useable features are enhanced security and easy of use. Features like Windows Aero are “wow” but do not add to everyday use unless you area computer connoisseur.<br /><br />Tips:<br /><br />• Don’t invest in PCs or laptops with integrated graphics cards. These use up a considerable amount of a PCs memory.<br /><br />• Desktops can be upgraded while notebooks cannot.<br /><br />• If your use of a computer is for gaming, editing or watching movies, or CAD then you must invest in a high powered graphics card as ell as additional memory.<br /><br />• Notebook owners must aim for a 2GB Ram and discrete graphics chip.<br /><br />Microsoft is dedicated to preparing the world of PC users for Windows Vista and to this end they have set up a “Get Ready Site” at Windowsvista.com which provided in depth information to users about the OS. They also have an application for download on Windows XP PCs that will informer the owner what is required to become “Vista” ready.</span>zed_surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12666063596374598815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240057592297614293.post-68259374187046982072009-03-26T23:46:00.003+07:002009-03-26T23:49:36.808+07:006 Points to Consider Before Jumping onto the Windows Vista Bandwagon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA46gK2oo27lbWNok-nX9lUFNyyyc3o-0_LmCwDlW_-4D4XPjwwgUX6nEBxQ9K9F0bthwEXdUvF_fQ4zTYXYw0rubQoto80_cKWfvfw6Mjr5AAVmYVg94wSpmOBNHBJl_KG9qpUQBy3Yju/s1600-h/vista+bandwagon.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 151px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA46gK2oo27lbWNok-nX9lUFNyyyc3o-0_LmCwDlW_-4D4XPjwwgUX6nEBxQ9K9F0bthwEXdUvF_fQ4zTYXYw0rubQoto80_cKWfvfw6Mjr5AAVmYVg94wSpmOBNHBJl_KG9qpUQBy3Yju/s320/vista+bandwagon.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317539588421632210" /></a><br />Unless you are someone who rushes out and purchases all that is new in the world, most gurus would recommend wait and watch policy as far as Windows Vista is concerned. What you must do is allow early adopters to cut their teeth on the system and give verdicts on what is right and what<br />needs correction or is disappointing. Think:<br /><br />1. Whether your existing computer system will satisfy Vistas hard ware needs. There are two options where Windows Vista is concerned a system that is Windows Vista capable and one that is Vista premium ready.<span class="fullpost">. . . . The Windows Vista premium needs a 1GH processor, a1GB and more RAM, and top quality graphics/video card. Before you leap to upgrade your system read through the Windows Vista Hardware needs at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista/evaluate/hardware/vistarpc.mspx .<br /><br />2. Examine your existing system and determine whether you will need the Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate version of Vista. Each is vastly different and satisfies different needs. The Business edition is expected to be comparable to XPPro.<br /><br />3. Licensing in the case of Windows Vista is expected to be complicated and Microsoft has not announced final notifications yet.<br /><br />4. When you think Vista you need to simultaneously consider application compatibility. Find out in detail what will be compatible and what will not. Consider things like upgrade or fixing of programs.<br /><br />5. Network Infrastructure needs may change with installation of Vista. You may need to consider IPv6.<br /><br />6. Weigh carefully why you need Vista and all its much promoted features. Remember installing a new system means learning time and kinks to be worked on. Are you tech-savvy enough to wrestle with brand new technology?<br /><br />On August 29th for a brief moment one got a glimpse of Windows Vista pricing on Microsoft’s Canadian Web site. The Home Basic Edition is priced on level with Windows XP and will retail at pounds 112.62. The Home Premium Version with tablet PC advantages and Media Center was priced 13% higher at pounds 141.57. This discovery was made by blogger Ed Bott who posted the pricing on ZDNET.com posting.<br /><br />Remember with upgrades data is at risk. Often time is lost in adjusting to anew system. You also need to think about back ups and training of all computer users at home and at work. And most important is the cost of purchasing Windows Vista and the cost of upgrades, training, and more.<br />Analysts at Gartner according to a ZDNet article advised in November 2005 that one should wait until 2008 to gauge the accurate situation. Experts recommend to avoid “vista ready” and only consider Windows Vista in spank new Pcs.<br /><br />So, while the pluses and minuses are in debate it is important for users to wait and watch and only join the Vista User group when the system is up and running with all kinks ironed out. According to industry watchers Vista is all set to be released either end 2006 or by Easter 2007.</span>zed_surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12666063596374598815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240057592297614293.post-26928461591360385362009-03-26T23:39:00.004+07:002009-03-26T23:43:45.520+07:006 ways in Which Microsoft Windows Vista Secures your PC<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTMaXGQhpKgKNLEg3IfBKxD-ZebuZi71GqKTpS1nSgq9YCHgEs_iGlzfuhGsIssKx0M4-wROV9scFcCicPc4vTtCuDO3xq5J0u2tvFhSyK-lXfjhkfT8_c1zkmUQoXqAVoEDBq0Ml8cGk8/s1600-h/vista+.jpeg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 137px; height: 95px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTMaXGQhpKgKNLEg3IfBKxD-ZebuZi71GqKTpS1nSgq9YCHgEs_iGlzfuhGsIssKx0M4-wROV9scFcCicPc4vTtCuDO3xq5J0u2tvFhSyK-lXfjhkfT8_c1zkmUQoXqAVoEDBq0Ml8cGk8/s320/vista+.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317538015587224914" /></a><br />Global reach and the information highway have changed the way individuals and businesses function. Computerization, the World Wide Web, and B2B and P2P applications have added a zing to business activities. The reach has grown beyond physical confines and boundaries to embrace the world.<br /><br />In the fast paced world of business what causes grave concerns in security. With the use of computers and links to cyber space corporate crime is at an all time high and<br /><br />1. High level security. Most companies spend thousands of dollars in securing their business data as with the advent of the World Wide Web cyber thievery is at an all time high. Vista is designed to provide multiple layers of protection. It will protect the business from external attacks and there are ways in which crucial information and data can be protected by creating a fortress of authorized access.<span class="fullpost"><br /><br />2. Back ups are automated and files can be recovered easily. So, if any information is inadvertently deleted it can be recovered.<br /><br />3. Since the cyber highway is where security is lax and threats exist, Vista has Windows Internet Explorer 7. This is very advanced and provides great amounts of browser security and grants privacy protection. So while your employees can browse the World Wide Web for business related purposes thieves will not gain ready access to your company systems.<br /><br />4. The Windows defender program has been integrated into Vista to protect your business system from malicious soft wear.<br /><br />5. Wireless networking systems are secured by Vista such that employees can connect to multiple networks simultaneously without any trouble. It has a secure wireless networking protocol and Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2).<br /><br />6. Internal threats are averted as Vista ensures that data is kept secure and confidential by encryption, assigning a high level of protection, and selective authorization of removing of storage devices like USB and flash memory drives.<br /><br />Vista has been developed keeping in mind the threats being posed to computer users today. And, a new version of Windows Firewall has been developed to protect computers from inbound and outbound traffic threats. The UAC or user account control has been under continuous revamping and takes into consideration serious criticisms made throughout Vista development by techies on the Vista watch.<br /><br />Paul Thurrott who has been monitoring Vista since the very start has written glowing reviews of Vista security features, the integrated anti-spyware product , Windows Defender, security improvements to IE7, parental controls, and more.<br /><br />Security enhancements in Vista are more than welcome and users both business and individual are looking forward to the release of the final Vista package.</span>zed_surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12666063596374598815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240057592297614293.post-27497586025480429272009-03-26T23:33:00.004+07:002009-03-26T23:38:50.605+07:0025 Main Windows Vista Features<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9qGcPaN_uUHccswpfg6zrrLlvSweLe6NJQHwqTfEnr_2lbDGmohsQFN-gJzO4eZAJIOMgaaaNcD0okdajnIBuo2ibfCFMIT6HDocib5KC7hztOTwCx-YOQMvrnYLCeenVszaP1g7xl8DJ/s1600-h/vista1.jpeg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 126px; height: 118px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9qGcPaN_uUHccswpfg6zrrLlvSweLe6NJQHwqTfEnr_2lbDGmohsQFN-gJzO4eZAJIOMgaaaNcD0okdajnIBuo2ibfCFMIT6HDocib5KC7hztOTwCx-YOQMvrnYLCeenVszaP1g7xl8DJ/s320/vista1.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317536597648905874" /></a><br />The whole world is waiting with expectancy for the arrival of Windows Vista and its promised delights. And, in the meantime, techies speculate and debate on what to expect, what the hurdles will be, and more.<br /><br />Microsoft has been promoting Windows Vista as having features that provide a unique experience. The system is aimed to be user friendly and dynamic. Microsoft has worked on Vista at two levels; they have updated existing windows features and introduced new features. Among the many features of Windows Vista are the following gleaned from published documentation, blogs, and releases by Microsoft.<br /><br />1.

The system hopes to have advanced security protection and improved web standards support.<br /><br />7. State of art back up and restore functions will enable users to schedule back ups of files. The system is designed such that back ups are incremental and only new material is backed up saving space as well as making the system easy to use. The “complete PC backup” will create an image on the entire system onto the hard disk or a DVD. In case there is a break down the “complete pc backup” will recreate the entire system.<br /><br />8. Outlook express has a new avatar, Windows Mail. And, according to those in the know the system is reliable and can actually filter junk mail.<br /><br />9. Updates of software and security systems in the new system will be through a control panel. There will be no need for any web applications.<br /><br />10.

High priority content is retained in memory by detection of troublesome memory usage patterns.<br /><br />18. Windows Vista is expected to have a ready boost, a flash device that extends disk caching capabilities. This will enable use of USB 2.0 flash drives, SD cards, or compact flash cards. This innovation is expected to lend a performance level that is 8-10 times higher than at present.<br /><br />19. A touch screen is expected to be a part of Vista.<br /><br />20. Disk partitions in Vista are designed to prevent data loss.<br /><br />21. The task manager as well as task scheduler in Vista is being revamped to provide better computing.<br /><br />22. Extensive focus is on security which has been a problem with Microsoft operating systems. In Vista the aim is to provide security at all levels of operation and the system includes an advance security firewall, a defender, as well as a phishing filter among other security measures. The innovations are all set to give a new definition to windows security.<br /><br />23. Vista’s premier interface, Windows Aero will lend 3D graphics, great animation, visual effects, and translucence to videos, games, and other applications that have graphics.<br /><br />24.

It's now easier than ever to find a model that can perform all the tasks you require without spending a small fortune. If you're looking to replace an old model or are looking to purchase one for the first time then check out the tips below to help you decide what to go for...<span class="fullpost"><br /><br />What will you use it for?<br /><br />Before you start your search, you need to work out exactly what you want from your laptop and establish how you will use it, this is the first step to getting the perfect model. For example, if you are a student then you might want to choose a model that has a large hard drive so that you've got plenty of room to store all of your photos, university work and music. You might also want to consider the size of the model as although it might be tempting to go for a 17 inch screen, a smaller and more portable model would be more practical if you are going to have to carry it to and from University every day. If you run a small business however and the machine is going to be your main computer then you could consider looking for a larger model which includes a high quality, wide LCD screen to help to reduce eye strain.<br /><br />The different types <br /><br />There are hundreds of different makes and models on the market but they can roughly be separated into three broad types...<br /><br />Entry-level systems<br /><br />This is the best choice for the budget conscious. It's the basic option and ideal for those who just use laptops for straightforward office tasks such as word documents, spreadsheets, emails and internet use.<br /><br />Desktop replacement system<br /><br />If you want all the features of a desktop but in a smaller size then this could be ideal. This type of model is similar to desktop computers in terms of power and features but has a more portable format. This type of computer is best suited to those who want to edit photos or video and play games, as well as perform office tasks. These models do tend to be a lot heavier than other laptops though which is something you should bear in mind.<br /><br />Netbooks<br /><br />Mini laptops or netbooks are small and compact and while their specifications are low, they're perfectly adequate for general tasks and internet surfing. They generally use less powerful chips than in a laptops such as Intel Atom or Celeron but they are less expensive and more energy efficient. They don't have in-built CD or DVD drives but they do have wireless connectivity. These models tend to be great if you want something portable and easy to carry.<br /><br />Before you make an investment or decide on a replacement, you should consider what the primary use of the machine will be so that you can get the most effective model for your requirements.</span>zed_surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12666063596374598815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240057592297614293.post-88265239346421631652009-03-23T16:51:00.001+07:002009-03-23T17:03:13.432+07:00Making The Right Choice Between Desktop And Laptop<div align="justify"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Here's an often asked question when comes the time to buy a new computer. Should I go for a desktop or a laptop? A laptop is a tempting proposition since it takes less space and is, obviously, easy to transport. A laptop can be very useful but before buying one you have to ask yourself a few questions in order to make the right choice between desktop and notebook. <br /><br />If you travel a lot, or if you need to bring with you your computer on the job, at university or elsewhere then the choice is clear, it's of course a laptop that you need. If you are thinking about buying a laptop because you think you may have to take it to different places later on, read on. Don't forget the convenience of USB sticks that in most cases negate the need fot carrying a laptop, provided there is a computer where you are going of course.<br /><br />If you are a gamer or use softwares that use a lot of computing power then you will need a computer that packs a punch. To have a laptop powerful enough to satisfy you, you will need to pay two to three times more than you would for a desktop computer for the same computing power. It is then in this cas a matter of budget and priorities. <br /><br />You also have to ask yourself the type of screen you want to have. Laptops have small high resolution screens since you are working quite close to the screen with them. If you want to enjoy DVDs on your computer then a bigger screen will offer far better viewing comfort. There are laptop computers with a bigger screen than usual but of course this means they are bigger. If you really need to be on the go with your computer but wish to optimize your computer equipment at the same time then you can go for a laptop to which you'll add a variety of peripherals when at home. <br />The choice between desktop and laptop is then a question of priorities; what do you value most? Ease of transport, price or power...</span></span><br /><br /></div>zed_surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12666063596374598815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240057592297614293.post-11209646066144617662009-03-23T16:50:00.001+07:002009-03-23T16:51:35.305+07:00If You Want Flexibility And Portability Consider A Laptop<div align="justify"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">If you are one of those who works with a computer on a daily basis like me you should consider a laptop. I have actually owned three now and I think I would be lost without mine. I still use my desktop PC quite a bit at home but the laptop comes in extremely handy when I am away. <br /><br />It's not just convenient owning a laptop but it is also even more fun to use than the desktop. Your laptop can be totally modified to fit your needs and can be an extension of your desktop if need be. I know that I sometimes need to be able to use the same programs that I would normally have on my desktop and thanks to the additional of a 30GB portable drive, I can keep all the programs I would normally need on it and save the space on my laptop. I just plug it in to my USB port and I am off to the races.<br /><br />You can customize the look of your display settings just as you would with your desktop so your window displays as well font sizes are all a click away. <br /><br />There are many add ons that you can buy for your laptop to make it more convenient for you to use. If you need more space, you can do as I suggested and get a portable drive that will keep you from clogging up your main hard drive. You can also get smaller flash drives for moving information from one place to another.<br /><br />Sometimes the way that the mouse is configured on a laptop makes it inconvenient or uncomfortable to use, if this is the case for you then you can get an external mouse that plugs into your laptop to make it easier to use, the same also can be said for the keyboard. If the keyboard seems too small or awkward, then plug in an external one. <br /><br />Many times you will find that if you use your laptop often that it will begin to overheat, if this is the case for you then you should look into an external laptop cooler. Laptop coolers can help keep your system cooler and prevent damage from overheating.<br /><br />If you are not happy with the sound of the internal speakers that your laptop came with you can buy a set of small powerful speakers and plug them into your laptop to give you better quality and louder sound. <br /><br />If you travel quite a bit I highly recommend that you get a hard laptop case. Laptops are fragile and it is very easy to screw up a screen, they aren't cheap to replace. <br /><br />Source: Free Articles</span></span><br /><br /></div>zed_surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12666063596374598815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240057592297614293.post-55436772146318764332009-03-23T16:49:00.001+07:002009-03-23T16:50:46.306+07:00How to Buy a Laptop<div align="justify"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">If any one wants to buy a laptop, what do they do? They step in to a local store and see 70 to 80 different laptops ranging from $500 to $1000 and get stuck in making a decision. So this is what you may want to do.<br /><br />The most important factors to be considered when buying a laptop are<br />1.Processor<br />2.Ram<br />3.Size of the screen<br />4.Hard disk capacity<br />5.Wireless Networking<br /><br />Processor: If you have a heavy use for you laptop like data transfer and Data base management, graphic design and others you may not want to go for some thing less then 2 Ghz. For normal users who do not have such sort of bulk usage a normal laptop may be handy.<br /><br />Ram: Ram come in 256MB 512MBand more. The 256MB is outdated for the present laptop usage trend. The 512MB is ok for the normal users. If you have heavy usage you need to have more than 512MB.<br /><br />Screen Size: When it comes to the Screen Size, most low cot laptops have low pixel rates which are ok for the normal users. But you can buy more if need be.<br /><br />Hard Disk: Normal Laptops come with 40 GB Hard Disk. If you are some one who stores more data, software and mp3 files and videos, it is recommended to buy a 80 GB Hard Disk.<br /><br />Optical Drives: Laptops come with three different options. They are CD – DVD reader, CD writer and the DVD writer. DVD writer is the smart option any one should go for because you can make a lot of backups easily and make your own DVDs.<br /><br />Wireless Networking: Most of the Laptops come with wireless Networking. It can give you access to the internet and wireless networks. Make sure your laptop has 802.11g wireless network.<br /><br />Conclusion: “If you are a normal user go for a cheap laptop with 512MB Ram and if you a heavy user, make sure it has all the features discussed above.”</span></span><br /><br /></div>zed_surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12666063596374598815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240057592297614293.post-15143601945156838952009-03-23T16:36:00.001+07:002009-03-23T16:45:03.039+07:00Should I Buy A Laptop Or A Desktop?With the advances in computer performance technology moving forward in quantum leaps it has created some difficult questions for us, one is deciding between a laptop or a desktop.<br /><br />Now, not only do we have the problem of our computers being outdated very rapidly but we also need to decide which route to take.<br /><br />Let's look at the pros and cons and identify what we will use our computer for...<span class="fullpost"> so that we will be able to make an intelligent decision about it.<br /><br />First let's look at the laptop. Obviously the greatest benefit to a laptop that is glaringly apparent is the mobility. This allows you to always be able to take your computer with you to work, school, on vacation, etc. At the same time this portability also allows anyone else the ability to walk off with your laptop as well. If this happens, not only are you out a computer but you have also lost all the data you had on it as well so security is a concern.<br /><br />Another issue is the price difference. While prices have come down, there will still be a good disparity in the price of a laptop to a comparable desktop so you have to weigh that out as well. The difference is usually $400 or $500. Do you need the mobility enough to pay the difference in price?<br /><br />Another concern with purchasing a laptop is the availability of parts and how upgradeable the unit is. Don't buy some off brand laptop that you won't be able to buy parts for and don't buy one that you can't upgrade later.<br /><br />A big issue for me is the size of the screen, yeah size matters. If you get a laptop with a small screen you will be aggravated, trust me. I have a 17" screen on my desktop and a 15" on my laptop and it really makes a difference. You can get a laptop with a 17" screen, it will just set you back a bit more in cash outlay.<br /><br />So ask yourself these questions:<br /><br />Do I mainly use my computer at home or do I need it at work or school?<br /><br />Do I travel a lot?<br /><br />Will I use the laptop?<br /><br />Am I willing to pay more for the convenience?<br /><br />Source: Free Articles</span>zed_surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12666063596374598815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240057592297614293.post-33125152020760822942009-03-23T16:26:00.001+07:002009-03-23T16:36:37.394+07:00Laptop Buyers Guide - Should You Go With An HDD or SSD? by Titus HoskinsRecently, in the world of laptops, there seems to be a major push to replace traditional Hard Disk Drives HDDs with the newer and speedier Solid State Drives SSDs. This issue presents a challenging question for future laptop buyers and especially for those considering buying a gaming laptop. Rata Penuh<br /><br />Which data storage system should you go with?....<span class="fullpost"><br /><br />...Now, SSDs or Solid State Drives are not new, they have been around since the 70's but were mainly used in niche applications in the past. Only recently have computer makers been utilizing SSDs for their machines, especially in laptops. Will these flash drives replace one of the last hold-outs of movable parts in data storage - the hard disk drive?<br /><br />What is a Hard Drive?<br /><br />Most computer users are familiar with Hard Disk Drives since they are presently found in most computers and laptops. An HHD stores data on rotating magnetic platters which have different speeds, that's why you often see 5400 rpm abd 7200 rpm associated with Hard Drives. Data is written to and read from these platters by a block of read/write heads, which are controlled by a micro-controller.<br /><br />Since your information can be stored in different parts on a Hard Drive, the time needed to get and retrieve data can significantly vary. Keep in mind, these devices are movable mechanical parts so they are prone to all the problems associated with moving parts and can sometimes fail, i.e. crash. Most of us have been there, done that!<br /><br />What is a Solid State Drive?<br /><br />Now SSD is an entirely different creature from a Hard Disk Drive. Solid State Drives uses a flash memory chip managed by a micro-controller to store its data. The major thing to remember, SSD usually have slow write times but have very quick read times. Since most users read rather than write information, SSDs can be much faster than HDDs.<br /><br />In addition, SSDs have no moving components so they are more durable and much quieter than traditional HHDs. Plus, you can use less power consumption and there are less problems with vibrations interfering with ongoing operations.<br /><br />What you have probably already guessed by now, SSDs are perfectly suited for laptops and smaller devices such as netbooks. The growing popularity of these very handy portable machines has pushed SSDs to the forefront of computer technology. Our need for speed has always been insatiable, but so too, has our need to make things smaller and sleeker.<br /><br />SSDs are better suited for these devices and all major laptop makers such as Dell, Apple, HP, Levono... have all lately begun to deliver laptops with SSDs. Toshiba, which is one of the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers, has also started producing laptops with SSDs. They also invented NAND flash memory, these chips are commonly used in different memory cards such as SmartMedia and CompactFlash. Again, the major advantages being the faster access times, lighter weight, less power consumption, more resistant to impact and much more durability.<br /><br />Another trend where we see SSDs taking hold is in the netbook market. This is a relatively new trend since the netbook was only launched by Asustek in the fall 2007 with its first Eee PC. Other laptop makers such as Lenovo, MSI, HP, Dell... have all followed along and jumped on this very popular and growing sector of the laptop industry.<br /><br />The Cost Of SSDs Are Higher<br /><br />One of the major obstacles to using SSDs has to be cost. SSDs are more expensive than HHDs but prices will eventually fall as production costs decreases. However, for now there is a marked different and many laptop buyers will go with the cheaper HHDs.<br /><br />Another related issue is the amount of memory SSDs can support. Because of the cost, many of the present day SSDs have comparably low storage amounts in order to keep the overall cost of a device down. However, we are now seeing larger SSDs which support 64 GB, 128 GB and 512 GB of memory. We even have one SSD drive which can store 1 TB (Terabyte) of data produced by PureSilicon.<br /><br />Another thing to consider, with SSDs you don't need cache since system caches are usually made to solve hard drive performance problems. This can be a way to save money on future devices since cache is expensive.<br /><br />The Future of SSDs<br /><br />The real future of SSDs have to be realized in the growing popularity of ultra-portable devices like netbooks, mini-laptops and the like. The SSD is perfectly suited for these kinds of portable devices and as consumer demand grows stronger, the future of SSDs looks very promising indeed.<br /><br />Another market for SSDs has to be in gaming laptops, which are ideally suited because gamers use their machines mainly to read rather than write data. Plus, gaming laptops and gamers want the best possible performance at whatever cost; they don't mind spending the big bucks if they can get top performances in return.<br /><br />Major gaming specialists such as Alienware, do offer the option of SSDs in many of their laptops and even in some desktop machines. Other gaming laptop makers are following in the same direction. As with any technology there is a lag time before the old is replaced with the new. The traditional hard drives will be around for quite some time yet, but its days may just be numbered.<br /><br />For the laptop buyer, which type of drive you finally choose will mainly depend on the purpose of your new device. If you're looking for a quiet, long lasting, speedy netbook that can take more than a few hard knocks, then you should be looking at a SSD equipped machine. If you want a traditional desktop computer or a desktop replacement laptop, then you can save money by going with an HDD equipped device, these have worked perfectly fine for years and will be around for some time in the future. Of course, if you're into gaming laptops and want a state-of-the-art machine, then a Solid State Drive may be your best option, assuming money is no object.<br /><br />....<br />For the latest laptop discounts and bargains try here: laptop buyers guide The author also runs a handy online Laptop Guide featuring the latest top gaming notebooks: gaming laptops Copyright © 2009 Titus Hoskins.

Whether you are planning to fit a GPS tracking to your business vehicles as part of a fleet management strategy, or fitting a GPS device to your personal car, there are several things to consider before choosing the right vehicle tracking system for your needs. <br /><br />1. Type of tracking system <br />There are various types of vehicle tracking systems available. For individual users, the most common system is an on-board navigation system that uses GPS technology to provide the best route from point A to point B. Other GPS systems fitted to cars and vehicles monitor the vehicle’s position at any time (usually to within inches of the vehicle’s real-time position) and are particularly useful for fleet management. Many GPS devices can be activated in case of an accident, alerting the emergency services to the exact location of the vehicle. This is particularly useful if the vehicle has left the road and is hidden from view or has crashed in a remote location...(2)<span class="fullpost"> <br /><br />2. Real Time Tracking <br />Good GPS tracking systems have an ability to utilise a ‘real-time’ wireless network that allows information via a visual representation. This allows the user to verify that they are taking the correct route as indicated by the system. For fleet managers, it also allows a visual representation of the location of any fleet vehicle at any time, giving them the ability to send the nearest vehicle to a pick up point or track the progress of a delivery. <br /><br />3. Speed Limit Monitor <br />Some vehicle tracking systems also have a speed limit monitor, which can notify fleet managers if their vehicles are using excessive speed. Not only does speeding cost a company money in wasted fuel, but can lead to a tarnished reputation and possible prosecution of drivers breaking the speed limits. A speed limit monitor can allow fleet managers to stop drivers who constantly break the speed limits from wasting company money and, more importantly, endangering the lives of themselves and other road users. <br /><br />4. Voice instructions <br />Although still in its infancy, voice activation is a developing technology that allows instructions to be spoken into the GPS device. This may not be as useful for fleet management operations, so it may be better to choose a system that can accept remote instructions from a central control unit. In this way a GPS vehicle tracking system can also double up as a receiver for instructions relayed to the driver, particularly in remote locations where mobile phone reception may be non-existent. <br /><br />5. Quality versus price <br />Although it may be tempting to go for the cheapest vehicle tracking system you can buy, the more you pay for a system the better the quality. Cheaper systems may be adequate, but they will have limited functions and will certainly perform poorly as compared to a higher quality and more expensive system. If you are planning to install a GPS tracking system into a fleet management strategy, remember that it is a business investment (and therefore tax deductible) that is designed to improve the efficiency of a major part of your business. A larger investment in the beginning will lead to a larger saving overall in the long term. As GPS devices can also play an important part in your safety and in speedy recovery if the vehicle is stolen, a cheap system may let you down when you most need it.Fitting a GPS vehicle tracking system can not only give you peace of mind, it can save you money as well.

Its value as an investment will mean that it should pay for itself in no time at all. <br /><br /><br />Article Source: http://www.ArticleStreet.com/ </span>zed_surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12666063596374598815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240057592297614293.post-56119685156890554222009-03-21T13:03:00.001+07:002009-03-21T13:07:26.311+07:00Keep Your PC Healthy With Computer Tips and TricksEverybody just has to have a computer these days.

However, if you do not have other computers hooked up to the network at this time, for security purposes, you should leave the setting turned off until the need arises to share the wireless internet access.<br /><br />Wireless Internet Speeds<br /><br />Coming in at the slowest is Bluetooth, followed by 802.11b, 802.11a and topping the charts currently is 802.11g. 802.11b is roughly equivalent to the traditional wired 10BaseT Wired Ethernet networks. Therefore, switching to Wi-Fi should not considerably slow down your wireless internet connection.<br /><br />Wireless Network Equipment While Traveling<br /><br />You will need to have a wireless network card, either an adapter or integrated in your laptop. If you do not have an available slot on your PC, there are adapters you can purchase that plug into a USB port on the computer.<br /><br />Finding a Wireless Internet Hot Spot<br /><br />There are several stores and restaurants that offer wireless internet access, such as Starbucks. If you have a particular destination in mind, you can call the hotels to see if they offer the service. There are also hot spot directories that you can search to find wireless internet access.<br /><br />Wireless internet - WiFi Standards<br /><br />802.11 is the Wi-Fi standard, however there are other standards which are variations of the 802.11. These include:<br /><br />* 802.11a<br />* 802.11b<br />* 802.11g<br />* 802.11i.<br /><br />The differences among these standards includes speed, transmission frequency, and price. 802.11g is backwards compatible with previous products, but that is not the case with 802.11a. Make sure you check on compatibility issues prior to purchasing products.<br /><br />Wireless Internet and Dial up<br /><br />It is possible to share a wireless internet connection with dial up, but it is not a very good idea. Some access points, such as......<span class="fullpost"> the airport extreme base station from Apple, will allow this. However, there is some slow down time with sharing a wireless internet connection, and if you decide to share a dial up connection, you won't be surfing anything fast.<br /><br />Finding a Wireless Internet Hot Spot in a Chain<br /><br />If you are traveling and know that you will be stopping at Starbucks, for example, and want to access the internet, you can check out their website to see what specific franchises offer wireless internet access.<br /><br />Paying for Wireless Internet Access<br /><br />Most likely, you will need to pay for the high speed wireless internet access when you travel. Starbucks for example uses T-mobile as their wireless internet provider. You will need to have a t-mobile account in order to access wi-fi at Starbucks. There are some restaurants that may advertise free Wi-Fi, but in general, you should expect to pay a fee.<br /><br />Nationwide Wireless Internet Service<br /><br />There are a plethora of national wireless high speed internet services available. AT&T, Sprint PCS, T-mobile, and Verizon are a few which offer nationwide service. You will want to check out various pricing, roaming policies and fees for the various networks.<br /><br />Mixing Apples and PC's to Share Wireless Internet Connection<br /><br />You can mix apple and PC on a wireless network and share a wireless internet access. For example, Apple makes an access point called the AirPort Extreme Base station. Even though it is made by Apple, it still uses the Wi-Fi standard, and PC computers with a wireless adapter on the network will be able to share the wireless internet connection<br /><br />Mixing Wireless Internet and Wired Internet<br /><br />You can easily share a wireless internet access while still maintaining a wired network. There are many wireless routers on the market which offer both wired and wireless network capabilities. It is also possible to add on an access point after a wired router for wireless access.<br /><br />Configuring Wireless Access Point to Share Wireless Internet Connection<br /><br />Once you install the drivers on your computer for the access point, you will be able to open up the configuration software that comes with the router. The IP address 192.168.0.0 is the lowest in the network and should be dedicated to the router. Make sure to follow the specific configuration instructions that come with your wireless router, as each product will be slightly different from one another.<br /><br />Wireless Internet Equipment<br /><br />The beauty of the WI-FI is that it set a standard for wireless networking. Because of this, you do not need to have equipment from all the same venders in order to run a successful wireless network. You will be able to share wireless internet access as well without having equipment from all the same venders.<br /><br />Configuring Wireless Internet Card<br /><br />You will need to use the configuration software that comes with your network card to configure your computer to work at various hot spots. Simply type in the hotspot network name (various depending on the service you are using) and state the type of network, such as access point. You can also scan available wireless broadband internet access in the area and choose which network you wish to connect with.<br /><br />Wireless Internet WIFI<br /><br />WI-FI, the 802.11 standard, is important for a variety of reasons. Having a standard in the industry ensures that anyone using wi-fi will be using the same standard, therefore equipment and connections are interchangeable. Having a set standard makes setting up wireless networks, sharing wireless internet access and working with wireless equipment more users friendly.</span>zed_surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12666063596374598815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240057592297614293.post-56579049537783505572009-03-19T17:09:00.002+07:002009-03-19T17:25:06.406+07:00Wireless Network TipsA wireless network is ideal is an office environment. There is no need to worry about running cables, drilling holes, or having large closets or rooms full of cables for the office. It is cheaper to run a wireless network due to lower start up costs. If employees have laptops, it increases productivity as they can work in several locations and clients can easily hook up to the network. An office will also look more professional due to the lack of cables and wires running across the office floor.<br /><br />Wireless Network and Your Health<br /><br />There have been no scientific studies to indicate that wireless signals can affect your health in a negative manner.

Don't put 'subscribe' and 'vote me' links all over the front page until you have people that like your blog enough to ignore them (they're usually just in the way).Unless your blog is sufficiently populated with high quality contents, no one will try subscribing. Relevant articles and frequent postings will prompt your visitors to bond with your blog and always eager to know what’s new today.<br /><br />4. Use a clean and simple theme if at all possible. This will ensure that the blog loads faster and easier to navigate through. No one likes wasting time before they spot your contents. Simplicity wins in blogging.<br /><br />5.

By increasing web traffic towards your website, you can seek to have more customers and in turn increase your revenues as and when they make a purchase. Likewise, search engine marketing involves spending money for online promotion. This method includes, sponsored links, PPC and so on.<br /><br />Internet users search for information online.

Both the strategies can be successfully employed together to create a powerful marketing strategy that would guarantee online success.<br /><br />Difference between Paid Search and Natural Search<br />Paid Search engine optimization involves placing 'paid' advertisements on the search engine results pages. They are the text links that appear on the top or right-hand side of the search engine results page. These advertisements contain textual links to websites or landing pages that are relevant to the search query entered by the user. Paid search is also referred to as sponsored listings or Pay Per Click listings.<br /><br />Natural Search engine optimization is the process wherein relevant keywords and key phrases are chosen for a website and promoted on the Internet.

This is the single most critical piece of the article marketing equation – yes, even more important than the article itself. If you write a good article but mess up the resource box, then all you've done is waste your time. The resource box is where you can place keyword links pointing to your web site, as well as promote your company.<br /><br />Following are three criteria that your resource box must meet:<br /><br />1. Your business should be promoted.<span class="fullpost"><br /><br />2. The resource box should have a call to action.<br /><br />3. The resource box should contain a link that uses a relevant keyword.<br /><br />If your resource box meets these criteria, it will help improve your search engine rankings and drive traffic to your site. Let's look at an example of a bad resource box and a good resource box so you can see more specifically what I mean.<br /><br />Good Resource Box<br />Johnson Tax Service helps small business keep more of their income by finding creative ways to reduce their taxes. Put the Johnson small business tax service to work for you today by visiting www[dot]Johnsontaxservice[dot]com.<br /><br />In this example, the words "small business tax service" would probably be hyperlinked to the company's web site. And as you see, it contains a call to action by asking the reader to put Johnson's tax service to work by visiting the company's web site.<br /><br />Example of a Bad Resource Box<br />Jack Jones has been analyzing stocks and making recommendations for 15 years. To learn more, visit www[dot]jackjones[dot]com.<br /><br />So what is wrong with this resource box? First off, lots of people analyze stocks and make recommendations, so what should I visit this person's web site? There is nothing that really compels the reader to do anything. However, strictly from a search engine perspective, there is a major problem, and that is no keyword link! The link in this example is the web site URL, which does not contain any keywords. From a search engine standpoint, having the link is good, but having a keyword in the link text is much better. Sometimes in the link building process you don't have the opportunity to control what text is used in a link to your site, but article marketing is not one of those times. So make sure you use a keyword in the text of the link.<br /><br />Deep linking, or linking to pages other than the front page, is also another good use for your article resource boxes. Here is an example for clarification. Let's say you sell guitars on your web site, and you have a page specifically for Fender Telecasters. Ideally, the link to that page would be something like "fender-telecasters/." If you write and submit some articles for Fender Telecasters, you could use them to deep link specifically to the Telecasters page. If you then use the words "Fender Telecasters" in your link text, you've emphasized the keyword twice: in the link text and in the URL that it links to.<br /><br />The next time you write an article for submission to article directories, remember the advice in this article and do it properly for maximum impact. Does it take a little longer to write a good resource box? Sure. Maybe five minutes. But that five minutes make the time you spend writing the article in the first place worth a whole lot more.
