Here's a video about choosing a web host. The demo uses 2mhost.com as the web host of choice because they offer cheap web hosting with lots of features.

Free web hosting - Just as the name says, this is a free service. With a free service website owners get a very limited amount of space on a web server and can use it to host their simple web site. Usually the space is limited to one or two pages, and does not include other services such as databases, email or ftp. The pages sometimes are advertising-supported.

Shared web hosting service - With shared hosting many sites are located on the same server, often with the same ip address. They each have a unique "virtual address". The number of sites on a given server will range from a few hundred to many thousands. Usually all domains share the same pool of server resources, such as RAM, CPU and hard drive storage space.

Reseller web hosting - With a reseller hosting plan clients of web hosting companies become web hosting companies themselves. With a reseller plan a client purchases a set amount of space and data transfer volume, commonly associated with a specific ip address, and is then able to use this space to set up many domains. This space can be used by the reseller himself, or sold to other clients. Reseller accounts come with an interface that lets them set up packages, set pricing, and collect payments automatically. Reseller accounts range in capacity and features from very cheap shared space to full blown dedicated or colocated servers.

There are more expensive web hosting packages available for more intensive operations which include Virtual Dedicated Servers (VDS or VPS for "Virtual Private Servers), Dedicated servers and Colocation Hosting.

Blogging programs were originally developed in the late 1990s by ardent web surfers whose primary purpose was to "filter" and comment on the web content they found most interesting and valuable. This mostly involved surfing the web, finding interesting, perhaps obscure articles or resource material, providing a link to it, and perhaps to some related or alternative points of view, and often adding a short commentary.

So the very first blogs were not so much "journals" as they were ongoing works of personal reference.

As Rebecca Blood points out in Weblogs: a history and perspective this original idea was developed over a very short period of time in 1999 by a very small handful of "bloggers". The emphasis was on community, interaction, short, pithy and often sarcastic commentary, and extensive inter-linking.

This original concept began to morph into something different in late 1999 and early 2000 -- the blog as personal journal. According to Blood the main reason for this change was the structure of the new blogging software that was rapidly becoming popular. In particular it was Blogger (since purchased by Google) that set the tone and gave impetus to the shift. As Blood says,

Blogger itself places no restrictions on the form of content being posted. Its web interface, accessible from any browser, consists of an empty form box into which the blogger can type...anything: a passing thought, an extended essay, or a childhood recollection. With a click, Blogger will post the...whatever...on the writer's website, archive it in the proper place, and present the writer with another empty box, just waiting to be filled.

The result was the development of two different forms of blogging: blogs as "filters", and blogs as "journals". The resulting content can be very different. You can still see this in the design of Blogger (blogspot.com). Unlike "real" blogging software that emphasizes commenting, trackbacks, and pinging, Blogger seems to make a point of de-emphasizing these things.

This was pointed out to me a few months back when I first began developing my own blogs. A webmaster who was interested in my Linknet project commented that I should eventually get around to doing "some real blogging". Being very new to the whole blogging scene at that time I was not sure what he meant, or even whether this was an innocent suggestion or a meaning-laden insult.

In retrospect I realize he was commenting on the way I had turned most of my blogs into a series of articles. Clearly I was using a journalistic style. He was suggesting that "real blogging" is something different. I took him to be saying that it is somewhat contrary to the spirit of blogging to develop your own ideas in a kind of cocoon. Better to use web content other than your own as a taking-off point for your own comments and opinions. The "filter" model.

Actually, now I realize many of my own blogging exploits do not conform to either of these two original models. If a personal journal must consist of top-of-mind ramblings, then I am not particularly interested in doing personal journals. I prefer posting things about half way between free form ramblings and carefully worked out articles.

On the other hand I cannot see why one cannot simply develop his or her own ideas independent of what others may or may not have said. It seems to me this is the potential downside of feeling you have to conform to a blogging formula. "Horrors! I can't find a link...!!! Now what do I do?"

On the other hand I have come to appreciate the "coverage" you can get by using your blog as a "filter". In fact it often seems like a perfect way to break out of your own little isolated world. It gives you a chance to take a close look at what other people in your field are talking about, and bounce it off your own stuff. If you happen to develop a few readers, you'll be doing them a favour by pointing them to a broader spectrum of opinions and observations than the narrow range they're going to find in your own blog.

At the same time I think it is a bit odd to suggest there is something called "real blogging", and that to really do it right you should conform to some predefined model.

Like email itself, "autoresponders" have been around for quite a few years. The idea is fairly simple. Say you want to promote your new ebook called "Dog Care Fundamentals". Here is how you use an autoresponder to promote it:

Step 1. Create a text or html promotional message, for example, "Intro to Dog Care Fundamentals".

Step 2. Enter the message into the autoresponder program.

Step 3. Create a web page that promotes your product and offers a "Free Intro" — the message you created in Step 1.

Step 4. Put a web form on the page that allows people to "submit" their name and email address to the autoresponder.

Step 5. Program the autoresponder to send out your "Intro..." message when someone submits their name and email address using the special web form you created in Step 4.

Step 6. Create links in email messages and on web pages that point to your special promotional page.

Now whenever you send out an email message, you include -- for instance, in your signature -- a link that says "Click Here for your Free Intro to Dog Care Fundamentals". When someone clicks on one of those links they are taken to your special promotional page. If they are interested in receiving the "Intro...", they fill out the form and submit the information. The autoresponder automatically sends the "Intro..." message you created.

Problems with email

Since it is based in fairly simple email technology, the autoresponder concept is what you might call "old technology". And since email is taking a bit of a beating right now (because of anti-SPAM measures), autoresponders have fallen out of favor in some circles.

One criticism is that email messages are often filtered out by anti-spam systems. If true, this would mean your messages would be sent straight to the "delete" folder and never be seen by their intended recipients.

Another criticism is that it is relatively difficult to set up an autoresponder system. What was your initial reaction to the 6 Steps I
outlined above? As hordes of new "internet marketers" come on stream, many of them have no real knowledge of web page programming. Since the learning curve is too steep, they look to other, less technical solutions. It is much easier just to put your "Intro..." message on a web page and leave it at that. Someone clicks on your link, and they are taken to the web page. No need for any programming.

Advantages of Autoresponders

So why not just take the easy way out — put your "Intro..." message on a web page along with a sales pitch and leave it at that?

Three reasons immediately come to mind...

1. You have no effective way of tracking people who visit a web page. But when people ask for your "Intro..." message via a web form, you capture their name and email address. This is a form of "opting-in". These people are essentially put on an "opt-in" mailing list and are generally considered fair game for receiving information about your new product. Don't abuse this. For instance, don't put them on a general mailing list and send them all kinds of emails about other products.

2. You can use your autoresponder to create a sequence of follow up messages, sent out every three or four days. Every marketer knows that repetition creates familiarity. And familiarity creates trust. And trust leads to sales. So the odds of getting a sale after sending out three or four follow up messages are much higher than the odds of getting a sale from someone just looking at a web page pitch.

3. You can use a sequence of messages to gradually "unfold" the features and benefits of your product. For example, in the first message you talk about doggy diets, in the second message you talk about doggy grooming, in the third you talk about doggy training, etc. And you can even use each message to introduce a different but related product. Since your respondents are already interested in your "Dog Care" book, it is safe to assume they might also be interested in some of your other "Dog Care" products.

Most of us have spent a pile of money developing products and ideas, wracked our brains and worn our knuckles raw trying to sell these exciting products only to learn that nobody wanted to buy them? I know I certainly have. In fact, I get the impression it is almost a law of the universe that we start out our marketing careers with all kinds of pre-conceived notions about what will sell, what people will buy, what people supposedly need, only to find that we were simply wrong.

Of course some of us are lucky. We hit on a product that people really do want. We stick it in front of them. And they buy.

Marketing? Who needs marketing when you're such a genius?

But for the rest of us, the first step in the marketing process should be: to "Find a product that people want", or, at least, to put it negatively, "Don't try to sell things people do NOT want".

If they aren't searching for it, they don't want it

We're talking internet marketing here, so the question is: "How do you discover if anybody wants your product?"

Answer: You test market it.

Fortunately there are some very powerful and inexpensive tools available to online marketers. Virtually all of these tools are based on analyzing "keywords". So if you don't know the significance of keywords, the following is a very quick primer.

Since the web presents all of us with a vast ocean of material, there must be a way for people to find the things they are interested in. Search Engines (SEs) scan the millions and millions of pages out there on the web and they use "keywords" or "key phrases" within the pages as hints of what those pages are about. Then they classify all those pages according to their keyword findings.

Then a person who is searching for something on the web — say it's something about "pet care" — goes to her favorite search engine, types in "pet care", or "caring for pets" — and voila! — up pops a list of websites about "pet care".

Once you understand this process it shouldn't take long to realize that what people search for determines how you should describe your product.

Say you have a product idea for something called an "inverted hydraulic grommet installer". It may be a wonderful idea, but if nobody ever searches for that specific key phrase, it basically does not exist as far as the web is concerned. Nobody will ever see your website or your product, because nobody ever searches for "inverted hydraulic grommet installers".

Finding out what people want

In most cases, the challenge will be to find the most productive keywords relevant to your product that people DO search for.

Then you can determine if anybody is willing to actually BUY your product.

The easiest way to do this is to use a two stage process:

First, find a keyword analysis tool like the Overture keyword tool (http://www.small-business-online.com/seo-tools.shtml), and do a quick analysis of various keyword possibilities. This tool will tell you whether or not people actually search for your term, and it will suggest other derivatives or related terms you might use instead.

Then, once you have an idea of your best keywords, set up a short Google Adwords campaign to test market your product idea.

Google Adwords are those little text ads that run down the right side of the page when you do a Google search. The nice thing about an Adwords campaign is that you can have it up and running in minutes, and you can let it run for as long (or as short) as you want. All you need is some idea of the marketability of your product. And often an Adwords campaign can tell you what you want to know after just one or two days.

The other good thing about Adwords is that you only pay when people click through to your site. If you don't get any clicks you've found out that nobody wants what you're advertising. It also doesn't cost you anything.

Of course it is sometimes difficult to run a test campaign for a product you haven't yet produced. After all, that is one of the purposes of the test — to determine if you should go ahead and produce the product. In that case you may want to try a technique suggested by Perry Marshall in his little course called "Five Days to Success with Google Adwords".

Begin by defining your product in terms of the PROBLEM it is supposed to solve. Then write a short report or "white paper" describing the problem and detailing how to solve it (using your product of course). Now create a page in your website (usually called a "landing page") dedicated to describing the product and promoting your white paper "solution". Make sure to create an opt-in form which interested people can use to request your white paper.

Then create your Google Adwords campaign around this free white paper. Point your ads to the landing page where you encourage interested people to send for your report.

As Perry Marshall says, "if you can't get anybody to opt-in to your report - or if you can't find keywords that people are searching for - then that's a good sign you should abandon the project before you throw any more money at it.

When people opt in, send them an email (or maybe even call them on the phone) and ask them what they're looking for. If your report is any good, they'll be happy to talk to you, and you'll get LOTS of input about the kinds of problems they're trying to solve."

(from Five Days to Success with Google AdWords, by Perry Marshall)

Google Adwords can be the easiest way to try something before you spend a lot of time and money on its development. Who knows, the product might even be a winner!

(when the file is in the same directory),

or

(when the file is in a different directory on the same server)

In this case, if you wanted to include the file "nav-bar.html" in another file called "product.html", you would normally have to change the extension to something like .shtml. So it would look like this:

product.shtml

Using "includes" across domains

But what if you wanted to include a file within a page when the include file resides on a different server? You cannot do this with normal SSI. But you can do it with PHP.

For example, say you wanted to include an article published on someone else's site in a page of your own. A few years ago we might have used frames to accomplish this. But now through the miracle of PHP, we can do it by simply adding a line of code like this:

Here is an example of a page where I have used this exact include. Notice that I must give the new file a .php extension.

Rick's version of the Microsoft home page

Pretty cool, eh!

Unlike with frames or java or most other methods of including content from other sites, using PHP makes you page look like the original. All the source code looks just like it does when you look at the original page.

Practical Applications

Doing something like I have done in the above example -- embedding someone else's content in your own pages -- is not likely going to happen very often. There's usually no point.

But here are two applications of this technique that I use all the time:

Embedding the same content in more than one website

It has become very popular to create mini-networks of sites for promotional and search engine marketing purposes. Using this PHP include technique allows you to take the same content and use it in a number of sites. For instance, say you have a common FAQ that you want to use in a number of sites. As long as you are happy with having the same information in each included version, this technique works well. You can even format it differently from site to site.

Embedding RSS feeds

If you use RSS feeds to create content, the PHP include technique is awesome. For instance, I use a feed parser called CARP to create a formatted version of feeds from MSN Search. I place all the original feeds on the server where CARP is running. Then when I want a feed for a particular search, I just do an include referencing the original file. Here is an example of a page that includes the MSN search results for the search words "Civil Rights":

MSN Search for Civil Rights

The code for the include is:

Try embedding this in a page on your own site. Make sure to give it a .php extension.

*PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is an open source server side programming language extensively used for web scripts and to process data passed via the Common Gateway Interface from HTML forms etc. PHP can be written as scripts that reside on the server and may produce HTML output that downloads to the web browser. Alternatively, PHP can be embedded within HTML pages that are then saved with a .php file extension. The PHP sections of the page are then parsed by the PHP engine on the server and the PHP code stripped out before the page is downloaded to the web browser

One very useful capability of PHP is its ability to handle Server Side Includes (SSI) across domains. PHP is usually installed on your web server, so you probably have access to its capabilities whether you know it or not.

If you use a Linux based web server, chances are very good you have access to the impressive capabilities of PHP*. These capabilites often involve databases and creating dynamic web pages from information stored in a database.

If you don't know what that means, don't worry about it. Like most article sites, this one (free-web-tools.biz) is dynamically assembled from information stored in a database. It is a prime example of the capabilites of PHP.

Another very useful capability of PHP is the way it can handle Server Side Includes (SSI) across domains.

Using includes within a domain

When would you normally use a server side include?

One standard use is when you have a common element that you want to appear on a number of pages within your site. A menu or navbar for instance. SSI lets you create one master file for the menu and then "include" it in any number of pages simply by including a bit of code in the appropriate place.

The standard syntax for non-PHP based SSI is as follows:

(when the file is in the same directory),

or

(when the file is in a different directory on the same server)

In this case, if you wanted to include the file "nav-bar.html" in another file called "product.html", you would normally have to change the extension to something like .shtml. So it would look like this:

product.shtml

what's my ip, my ip address - e_Marketing

What's My IP address? Your IP address is a unique identifier of your place within the internet. It tells other online devices where to find you.

IP stands for "Internet Protocol" so your IP address is your internet protocol address. It is a number that identifies your computer from other routers, computers, servers etc. that are on the internet.

If you have a "static" IP address then that address is unique to your device and never changes. If it is a "dynamic" IP address, that means it is assigned "dynamically" by some gateway device further up the chain and it may change from time to time.

Depending what type of system you are part of, dynamic addresses can change seldom or often. If, for example, you are using a dial-up internet connection, the address server of your isp (internet service provider) might assign you a new IP address every time you log on to their service.

There is a finite (limited) pool of IP addresses available and there is no point in using up addresses when specific devices are not actually online, so dynamic IP addresses are often used. The IP address server of your provider has a limited number of IP addresses it can assign, so when you log on to their service, the IP address server takes one of the available IP addresses from the pool and assigns it to the computer that has just logged on.

Go here to get your IP address, and other interesting information about your computer that is available to outsiders.

Using Unmanaged Host Services - by John Ugoshowa

If you are a customer that wants total control of your web site administrative functions then you might want to look at unmanaged web hosting services to give you complete remote control administration over your server. The technical side of the server can be controlled by a designated administrator that you pick to handle your web information.

You have to have a technical person to install the server and manage the server if you don’t have the expertise because you as the customer will be responsible for maintaining the server environment. That’s why unmanaged servers are recommended for individuals and businesses with server administration resources.

As far as developing applications and controlling the applications without going through technical support personnel on the managed server side, these types of servers are usually used when companies are developing real time response systems on the internet, such as geographical, science, engineering and multimedia/entertainment applications...

How To Add Photos To 5, 10 Or 100’s Of Web Pages And Articles In A Flash - by Michael Guilfoyle

Web design and development has come a long way since the days of static webpages. The new world of Web 2.0 and advanced search engine algorythmns require webmasters to provide striking content that will generate hundreds of in-bound links but also make visitors stop and spend their time with the content. No more can webmasters rely on pages stuffed with keywords and mediocre content – people can choose from billions of pages and with broadband connections that can quickly and easily move on.

To make a strong impact and encourage visitors to comment and spend time with the page or to encourage in-bound links, webpages need photographs. Photos raise the quality and appearance of an article keeping the prospective reader for those extra vital seconds to engage them in reading the page. Finding web photographs can be very difficult. Some stock exchanges offer free photos, but they are all high resolution and require the webmaster to download, resize, alter and upload the photo. It can take hours to find a good photo and if you have 5, 10 or 100’s of pages this can consume an incredible lot of time.

A better way to add photographs to 100’s of web pages and articles is to sign up with a service like Plinkme.com. This is a Photo Library for webmasters with a lot of content...

What You Need To Know About Captcha - by Oleg

CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. It is a kind of challenge-response test that is used in computing to distinguish between humans and machines. The basic CAPTCHA requires that you key in the letters of a fuzzy image, sometimes with the supplement of a masked series of letters or digits that emerge on the screen.

CAPTCHA can not only create these tests automatically but also store them. The basic principle is that they admit all humans and discard almost all machines since humans can usually read tarnished images, but OCR machines cannot.For more details please visit http://www.protectwebform.com/.
