Web Hosting Bluebook

Published by under Web Reviews,Webmaster Resources

I love when I discover new sources to find the best web hosting. I recently was asked to do a sponsor review for Web Hosting Bluebook. This is a web hosting review site that offers information help you choose the best hosting company to meet your needs.

The first thing I noticed when visiting their site was the nice clean design of the homepage. It clearly lists the top ten cheap web hosting companies. The reviews are well written and all the information is clearly posted when you click the review button. They state all the features of each host along with the prices.

I decided that this information is the same as most review sites so I decided to check out the rest of the features on their website. Their articles are very informative and great for new webmasters. They cover some topics that are not covered on other web hosting review sites. They discuss how to set up a website and also the possibility of running a website on your own computer instead of hosting (Not a great idea). The articles give basic information but I would have loved to see more in-depth articles. However, for newbie’s, they are worth a quick read.

I moved from the articles to the forum that is included with this site. It is a great idea to have a forum. However, this forum is quite new so it is very slow and has almost no members. I am hoping that that may improve over time. I next went to the blog with has been disabled. I was a bit disappointed with that. I was looking forward to some great posts regarding hosting and other related topics.

They do offer a newsletter to keep you up to date on news and products of interest to webmaster. There are a few free Word press themes that are featured on Web Hosting Bluebook. I checked them out and they have a couple of nice ones. The final feature was a glossary of terms related to hosting that will help a new webmaster understand what everything means.

This was an overall nice website. It serves the purpose it was intended to which is to provide reviews of cheap web hosting. I would have loved to see a more active forum and a great blog. However, the website is well worth a visit for those new to web hosting or those looking to find a new web host. Feel free to check them out and let me know what you think by leaving a comment here.

Being is webmaster is both fun and can be quite profitable. However, sometimes advancing beyond the rank of basic webmaster is just a matter of time and commitment. Many webmaster advance their earnings and career potential by attending college or tech school to become a computer technician. I am one who finds it much easier to learn in a self-directed way. That is where Internet training is an ideal alternative.

If you are looking to advance yourself in the tech field, it is quite easy to get a CompTIA A+ Certification. I checked out the a+ training videos on the CBT Planet’s website and they offer a wonderful training program that leads to you’re A+ certification.

The Economy and You

Published by under making money

We are all aware of how bad the economy has been hitting the average American. It is also affecting the global markets. However, for those who are fiscally responsible, the economy is not bringing them down.

My work related income has increased among all the downturns everywhere. I find myself earning more in my regular job yet my income from my online sources have decreased. In my curious nature, I wonder of this is due to the economy or due to my own lack of time and energy. I have not put in near as much effort due to the fact that I am busier in my regular job.

My question to readers, who are mostly fellow webmasters, is how has your online business been affected by the current economy? Are you up or down in income for the current year? Please leave a comment and share your stories with all of your fellow readers.
