Getting The Most From Your Web Host

Have you ever sat down and assessed the real amount of money you pay each month to maintain your online business? Web hosting is one cost component that many people pay too much for, without realizing it. The information below can help you find a web hosting provider that gives you top-level service for a bargain price.

Take a look at a host's job section in order to determine if they're currently hiring. If they are, then it is likely that their company is growing. Therefore, this host should be a safe pick. If they aren't hiring, then they are probably really struggling. As a result, you should probably avoid them.

Be sure to pay for your host by the month. Avoid being sucked into a discount plan where you would have to pay for several months in advance. You never know what could happen with the host or what issues you may encounter. By paying on a monthly basis, you will be able to switch hosts quickly if needed.

Take the time to research web hosts on the internet or on specific blogs. Then narrow down your first few choices. There are far too many web hosts, to do research on every one. But, by researching a short list of hosts you can avoid all the pitches and gimmicks that many of the hosts will try to sell you on.

If you are changing to a new host, you should use a redirecting page for 48 hours. Create a personalized page explaining why your site is moving to a new host with a link to your site. Make sure you choose a host that can guarantee you your site will be up in 48 hours.

Web Hosting

A very important thing to consider when trying to choose a web hosting service is to check how often a hosting providers' sites are available online. You don't want to sign up with a hosting service that is constantly causing your website to be down all the time, do you?

When searching for a good web hosting company, one important aspect you need to consider is the type of security they provide. You need to verify that the web host you are considering provides enough security that hacker cannot penetrate your site and gain access to information on your customers. Furthermore, ensure that their servers are backed up regularly and that your site's root directory is accessible to you 24/7.

You should know that not all web hosting services support Flash plug in. Using Flash on your site allows you to create a more interactive experience for your visitors, for instance with videos, games and new design possibilities. If you are not planning on using Flash, this is not a feature you should worry about.

Surprised how easy it is to cut costs? Increase your business profitability in one easy step by switching to a web hosting service that saves you money every month. Finding a great web hosting provider is easier than ever, and as people become more savvy, hosting providers are forced to offer better and better service. Switch to a better provider today and make a real difference in your bottom line.

Roadside bomb kills 7 Afghans

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) ? Officials say a powerful roadside bomb has killed five civilians and two police officers near a police checkpoint in western Afghanistan.

The governor of Nimroz province, Mohammad Sarwar Subat, says the blast occurred Thursday as a vehicle carrying the civilians was heading for a court hearing in the provincial capital, Zaranj.

The governor says the bomb was planted by "enemies of the state" ? a term used by officials to describe the Taliban or allied groups.

Looking at the Baseball Hall of Fame Ballot (Part Two): The First Half of the Newbies

Yesterday, in Part One of our look at this 2013 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, I gave my thoughts on the PED question. Steroids and PEDs are a part of the conversation for many of these guys, which is why I felt the need to explain myself on that subject before continuing.

Also, directly copied from last year?s Hall of Fame post, here are my general guidelines for this:

1.)??? I tend to be statistically inclined, and base my arguments on them. I'll try not to give you a players? WAR, but don?t expect the word ?RBI? to show up here.

2.)??? I have no problem with the 15 year rule. I find the calls for the vote to be one and done incredibly shortsighted, especially now. The time frame for balloting allows for new information to come out, and for the electorate to argue amongst themselves and the fans. It allows minds to change, or at least think about the candidates more than a knee jerk response. If it helps a guy I wanted to see get in, like Bert Blyleven, great. If it helps a guy I didn?t want to see get in, like Jim Rice, so be it.

3.)??? I don?t try to think of the Hall all encompassing. I try to keep it to each player individually. As Joe Posnanski documented, the Hall ?standards? have changed so much that there really aren?t any standards. I also don?t label myself as a Big or Small Hall guy, but I?m guessing once you see my picks, you?ll say Big.

Adding to this is the rule that a voter can only vote for 10 players, a rule at which I follow. With all the big names joining the ballot, as well as the 5 I would?ve voted for last year that weren?t elected, that rule is going to come into effect. When I first looked through things, I found 16 names worth close consideration. Today, we?re look at the first half of the 24 new names on the Hall of Fame ballot.

Sandy Alomar: NO

Alomar played in the bigs for 20 seasons, but only played more than 97 games four of those seasons. He was the quintessential backup catcher, but clearly not a Hall of Famer.

Craig Biggio: YES

Craig Biggio has 3060 career hits. This matters because it?s that round number that makes him a good possibility to get elected at some point, if not this time around. However, getting to that number pulled his career slash line down and didn't let him leave the game in a positive light, as he was below replacement level those final years as he chased 3000. It?s unfortunate because in his prime Biggio was excellent, especially at getting on base, the most important offensive skill. This was despite playing most of that prime in the cavernous Astrodome. After breaking in as a catcher, Biggio moved to second base full time in 1992. His year-by-year OBP from that year until 1999, the last year in the Dome: .378, .373, .411, .406, .386, .415, .403, .386. Not many noticed because he got on base in subtle ways, by walks and getting hit by the pitch (he?s 2nd in career HBP by a hitter), but it added up. Biggio is 18th all time in Times on Base. Every other player in the top 25? is in the Hall except Jeter (who will be) and Rafael Palmeiro (who is a special case). As a result of getting on base often, Biggio scored a lot of runs, good enough for 15th all-time. It?s not a case that pops out immediately, but take a closer look and Craig Biggio?s credentials are clear, even without the 3000 hits.

Barry Bonds: YES

We don?t know exactly when Barry Bonds started using enough PEDs to take down an elephant, but if we look at his career and for sake of argument say it started in 2000, when his numbers started to hit video game levels, then here are his home run totals each year from 1986-1999: 16, 25, 24, 19, 33, 25, 34, 46, 37, 33, 42, 40, 37, 34. That run goes from his age 21 season to his age 34 season. The totals ascend at normal levels for his improving player and stay high through his prime. After that of course is when things got ridiculous, but even prior to that he was a three-time MVP.

The general consensus is that Bonds was a Hall of Fame caliber player before he started using drugs. Given that and my beliefs over how to judge this era, Bonds is an obvious yes. We all know that not everyone feels that way at all, and certainly enough of the BBWAA voting electorate to keep Bonds out of the Hall this year, and likely a very long time.

Jeff Cirillo: NO

Looking at Cirillo?s numbers, the thing that stood out for me in his 2000 season in Colorado. He hit .326/.392/.477 that year. Impressive, right? Well, his OPS+ for the year was only 100. That means that after adjusting for the era and especially Coors Field, it was only a league average season. I found that fascinating. It was that kind of era and it's that kind of ballpark.

Royce Clayton: NO

Royce Clayton played Miguel Tejada in Moneyball. That?s infinitely more interesting than his playing career.

"Rise of the Guardians" Review: Magic, but you'd better believe in Santa Claus

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - There's a really cool idea afoot in "Rise of the Guardians," namely that Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and the Sandman aren't merely responsible for their little corner of children's lives but are actually a super-team of "Avengers" proportions. Taking their cues from the unseen Man in the Moon, they protect children everywhere from evildoers.

There's also a really tired concept dragging down the film, namely that new Guardians recruit Jack Frost isn't sure that he wants to join up, and he doesn't know who he really is - and he's, basically, the umpteenth Joseph-Campbell-reluctant-hero who pops up in seemingly every kids' movie and superhero epic. (Arguably, "Guardians" is both.)

And as much as I often found myself enchanted by this 3D animated film, based on the series of books by William Joyce, I couldn't help noticing that this movie falls into a conundrum I like to call (with a tip of the hat to playwright Christopher Durang) "You didn't clap loud enough - Tinkerbell's dead."

As an atheist (albeit one who loves Christmas movies), I get a little twitchy about films where children are made to feel guilty about not believing in things and people that don't actually exist. So even though it's nice to get a non-cynical story aimed at kids, in which open-heartedness and wonder are celebrated as virtues, this is another movie that paints itself into a theological corner by suggesting that those of us who question the existence of the Easter Bunny are at fault for all the world's ills.

In this tale, the Guardians assemble for two reasons: to welcome Jack Frost (voiced by Chris Pine) into their ranks and to combat Pitch Black (Jude Law), a long-suppressed boogeyman who's out to capture the Sandman (who never speaks, but is one of the movie's funniest characters) and to replace his golden slumbers with hideous nightmares.

Santa (Alec Baldwin) - here made out to be the jolliest Russian stevedore on Earth - welcomes Jack to the fold and assures him that he can be a hero once he figures out what he's made of. Less convinced is the Easter Bunny (Hugh Jackman), who has ongoing resentment against Jack for all those times that wintry weather has disrupted egg hunts.

And there's the Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher), who subcontracts most of her gig out to her army of pixies; one of the film's interesting twists is to explain why children's teeth are so valuable and what she does with them.

When the Guardians are zipping around the planet, invisibly enchanting children and ribbing each other, "Rise of the Guardians" has a real lift to it; first-time director Peter Ramsey knows how to pace the big set pieces, and he understands that anytime you can make characters fly around (or extreme-sled) in a 3D movie, audiences' spirits will soar too.

All too often, however, the good stuff is interrupted by the extremely pat plot beats of Jack and his voyage of self-fulfillment, and those aren't the only mistakes screenwriter David Lindsay-Abaire ("Rabbit Hole") makes along the way.

There's a major plot development that takes place off-camera, which gives a large chunk of the movie a "Wait, what just happened?" confusion that's too much of a distraction.

The young'uns at the screening I attended were entranced for much of "Rise of the Guardians" (terrible title!), so parents can rest assured that its target audience will leave satisfied. But the best family films truly appeal to the whole family, and adults may find themselves asking, and fending off, too many questions to take the plunge into this fantasy universe.
