Website hosting nowsadays is very competitive. Many web hosting companies offer tonnes of features at very competitive prices. With so many choices in mind, how do you choose the right host? I have tried many hosts over the years and finally landed on one that I feel has the most complete features that I need at the best possible price, ie BlueHost. Features BlueHost provides hosting features that surpass the needs of any large commercial websites:

10 Gigabyte Hosting Space Host 6 Domains on 1 Account!!! 2,500 POP/Imap Email Accounts 250 GIGS of Transfer SSL, FTP, Stats CGI, PHP, MySQL 2000/2002/2003 Front Page Extensions Free Domain Forever! Superb/Responsive Support Engineers

They also provide SSH (Secure Shell) service which is a feature lacking in most host because it might post a security threat if not managed properly. If you need advance services such as unzipping files in the server, you will need to use SSH. SSH access is not terribly important but good to have in a long run.

Reliability and Performance They have been providing hosting solutions to thousands of business and personal web sites since 1996. Many new hosting companies just come and go, but this one is able to withstand the test of time. So far, I have no problems with the speed and reliability of the server. Most of my sites hosted by them were never down. If you have google toolbar installed, just take a look at their page rank. Bluehost.com has a page rank of 8 which is rare for a web hosting company. The alexa ranking is about 2000 at the time of writing, indicating the amount of traffic they are getting for their website. This just shows how popular they are in the web. If you look at their awards page, you will see that they have a long history of awards. This is a plus point because it shows that they care about their customers and more importantly, their performance is consistent.

Support One important criteria that I use to judge a good host is their refund policy. Hosting can be cheap but many company refuse to refund to unsatisfied customers because what they care is only about money. Bluehost rates their customer service higher than sales. Though the setup fees is unrefundable, they are quick to refund the hosting fee if you are unsatisfied within 30 days.

They have a good support section in the website. Based on my experience, most of their emails are answered within 2 working days. It is not the fastest around but their replies are honest and professional. Some hosts will answer you in such a way that you need to pay them more money to get your problems solved.

My research in many forums and friends shows that Bluehost has an extremely high percentage of happy customers.

Conclusion In conclusion, BlueHost offers quality and reliable hosting for $6.95 a month with no hidden charges. With generous disk space and bandwidth, it is unlikely that you will exceed the quota every month. The many good reviews of bluehost in the web speaks for itself. If you are starting a new website or looking for a new host, I strongly recommend bluehost.

Public relations professionals are known as being pretty good writers. Both written and spoken communications are two of their most important attributes. One thing that I have noticed recently is their struggle to adapt to the needs of the digital media environment.

Take for example the written content of their websites. Look at the content on some PR sites. You will notice a lot of the content is written in a journalistic style as opposed to being written for a website visitor. Some of the things you may notice. The content gets to the important points at the end of the story. There are long paragraphs and no sub headings. Subtle, intriguing titles take precedence over keyword phrases that would actually tell the reader at a glance what the story is about.

Have you noticed how online newspapers are starting to including an introductory summary of their news article? This summary usually includes a keyword rich overview of what the story is about. This makes it user friendly for the site visitor and for the search engine spider.

The moral of this is that there are big differences between writing directed at news editors and writing directed at website visitors. Newspaper editors are beginning to adapting their online version of their stories towards the needs of website readers. PR writers should do the same. Here are some tips for public relations writers.

* Get educated on the specifics of website content writing.

* Understand your target market – those who will buy your service

* Know the meaning of keywords and their role in content development

* Discover the importance of how your writing relates to search engine visibility

* Find out how your site content directly impacts usability and conversions

Public relations practitioners will benefit by embracing the digital age and the possibilities that it offers them. This does not indicate the need for metamorphosis into a tech geek. Rather it’s simply a matter of a change in outlook and of writing style. Some of these changes are subtle; some require more research and analytics. However there is no going back. The digital age is here to stay. Embrace it!

GAINING WRITING EXPERIENCE

Some Catch-22, huh? In the writing business, you can’t get published until you have some experience. If you can’t get published until you have experience, how do you get experience? How do you get publishing clips to show all those publishers who want to see “previously published clips”? It’s almost as if Lily Tomlin’s telephone operator character came up with this: “Is this the party to whom I’m speaking? Are you the unpublished writer who has published clips I can look at? (Snort, snort!)”

What’s an unpublished writer to do? Get published, of course! I’m not being flippant; I’m serious. Think about your life. There are a number of things you can write about right now (essays and travel articles about that great place you stumbled upon last summer). There is a lot more you can write about if you do a little research (an article regarding something that has been on your mindyour mother’s illness? The stringent standards of learning being enforced upon elementary school students?). How about doing an article about the writer’s conference you attended?

Now you have your ideas, but where do you get them published? You might start with your local newspaper. If they’re like most newspapers, they’re in need of fillers from time to time. They might even be in need of freelance reporters during the summer and the holiday seasons. Talk with your newspaper’s editor. Be frank. Tell him/her that you need some publishing experience in order build your portfolio. In addition to putting some published clips in your “clip file,” you’ll also gain valuable experience and hone your craft. Then when you write that novel starring the investigative reporter, you’ll know the lingo…and the editor can say, “I knew that author when….”

Op-ed pieces are another way to go; and if you query the right market, you could make some good money while acquiring these published clips. We all have opinions. If you can write about a hot subject and express your opinion on it succinctly and objectively, you’re in the position to write an op-ed piece. Let’s go back to the standards of learning issue. While you realize little Johnny needs to get a good education, you also realize the importance of playtime and “down time.” You don’t want Johnny to be a prime candidate for a stress-induced heart attack at age 32. Many other parents feel this way. Some don’t. Some would say, “Standards of learning?” Talk with other parents to get conflicting views and write the article.

Though some shudder at the very words “non-paying market,” if you’re an unpublished writer seeking clips, it’s a good alternative. After you get those clips, it’s not so great to work for free; but at this point, you need the exposure and experience, and they need the articles. I think it’s a fair trade as long as you work for a web site, e-zine, print magazine, newsletter, or even charitable organization that you would be proud to have worked for. It won’t do you any good to have clips with grammatical errors (either yours or theirs) or content that isn’t credible.

Entering contests is another way to get clips, though this is more of a writing sample. Still, if you win or even place in the contest, this will lend some weight to your writing. This is especially true if you’re a genre writer. Romance Writers of America even has a contest called the Golden Heart Contest wherein the winner has the “best unpublished manuscript.” Malice Domestic is a contest for mystery writers. While these “biggie” contests are great, small contests are a boon to the unpublished writer as well. One caveat: There are a lot of bogus contests out there. Before you pay any sort of fee, check out the contest.
