  1. would say NO. Though there are multiple free web hosting options available, it comes down to - Is it a good idea to use free hosting? I have been dealing with hosting and servers since 2004. Over these years, I have concluded that it is never a good idea to opt for free hosting. Here is why: Limitations: Free hosting comes with limitations like less server space, slow speed, no uptime guarantee, no backup, etc. You may not realize the importance of it, but with the course of time, these factors become challenges. No warning: The provider might change SLA(Service Level Agreement) and not bother to inform you. Ask why? Because if he is providing you free hosting, he doesn’t owe you any explanations or warning. Shut down: It is very common that a hosting provider, offering free hosting might shut his services down permanently without any notice. This will lead to downtime of all the sites taking hosting from them until they shift the provider. And as we know, downtime harms the website in multiple ways including incomplete payments, reduced traffic, and bad image. Data loss: The free hosting service doesn’t take guarantee of backup. Therefore, one hunch, site crashes and you might end up losing every bit of data. Scary right? And they might or might not (read usually not) have the required tools and skills to recover the data. Therefore, considered it lost already. Terms and conditions: The provider might change the terms & conditions of its services without prior notice. It’s obvious, their money, their rules. No botherations to how will it affect your website. They might also start demanding/charging a particular amount (no matter what the amount is). Result? You end up paying for web hosting with poor services. NOT WORTH IT.
  2. In today’s time, it is very necessary to choose a good Web Hosting Service. Especially if you are starting a new website and do not have much technical knowledge. So I am sharing with you some of the points that will help you to choose a good web hosting service 1.Check Review : The most basic but important factor is reviews of the Hosting. You can read the reviews on the Hosting company’s site or on independent sites also review the hosting services of various companies like Techradar or Pcmag 2. Uptime : Uptime means a time for which your site is up and running on the web. So if uptime is 99%, it means that throughout the day, 99% of the time, your site was functioning perfectly. You should choose a hosting company whose uptime is at least 99.5%. 3. Payment : Cost efficiency of any service is also an important factor. To compare packages of all the hosting companies whom you are considering on the initial levels. It is not necessary that if a service is costly, it provides the best service or a company is charging less, meaning their service will be poor. So check the price and services of the companies thoroughly. 4. Support: A company’s customer service also becomes crucial if you do not have excessive technical knowledge. Nowadays, many companies run 24x7 helplines on their site to help customers. Choose a company that is quick in response and can solve your problems at the earliest. You can take the help of the reviews for that. 5. Data Backup: There are several hosting providers, among them provides free regular data backup of your website. Thus it helps in restoration in any case of hard drive failures. Therefore, you should consider this factor before opting for a web hosting company. 6. Bandwidth & Traffic: It is also known as Data Transfer. It means the amount of data can be downloaded from your site. Check out the amount of bandwidth a hosting provider is giving and what are the charges
  3. Offshore hosting is used to host the sites whose services or content are banned, illegal, or prohibited in one's country. For example, casinos are prohibited in India. If some users want to start a website of online gambling or casino, they need to host the site in a country where it is legal, like the UK or USA, etc. Although this is not the only reason people opt for offshore hosting, there can be other reasons like hosting copyrighted content, DMCA content, hacking websites, etc. If I have specified a target country for my product, I would like to get hosting in the target country. For example, I am in the USA, but my target country is the UK for my products. In that scenario, I will host my website in the UK, so there are more chances of my site ranking in the UK. It will also increase the site's load time in the UK. I hope this info gave you an idea about offshore hosting.
  4. There are two types of traffic generations, which are free and paid traffic. As the name implies, you don’t pay while driving traffic to your websites or landing pages, but it’s very slow to get results and we have different types of free traffic that I will discuss in a minute… You pay money to drive traffic using different traffic sources available. Here, I will discuss best ways to generate traffic, starting with free traffic sources. Youtube Video Marketing: In my opinion and by my experience in digital marketing, Youtube is the fastest way of generating organic website traffic for absolutely free. Youtube is reputed to be the third largest website in the world. People love to watch videos, and if you can make videos that will add values to the lives of the people, you're sure to generate free traffic that you can signed up to your regular email and send to your affiliate marketing products at will. In short, the free traffic here can add revenue to your business. It is very possible to generate thousands of subscribers within a few months using the power of videos Reddit are forums dedicated for specific topics. As a member, you have to engage in other people’s posts to increase your Karma points and you gain Karma points when your links and comments get upvoted. Certain subreddits won’t allow you to post links without you karma points. When you’re allowed to post, you can include your links and you get traffic in return. Facebook groups can be used to get free traffic. You can post to facebook groups only when you join the groups and you will be able to post. When you post, you can add your name and your website through which you get traffic. Quora is a question and answer forum where you can answer some questions that will benefit the readers as well as those that asked questions. You can include your links at the end of your answers. However, you are not allowed to spam at all. If you have knowledge of SEO, you can get free traffic when you get to the first page of google. It is an organic traffic that will help you to get thousands of traffic within a shortest possible time. SEO is very good that everyone needs to know about it. Email Marketing can be the best free source of traffic, which is far better than social media ways of generating traffic. You patiently generate your list by offering subscribers ethical bribes to get access to their email addresses. Those subscribers then become your raving fans that will be buying products from you over and over again. Money, they say, is in the list. This is perhaps one of the best ways to generate free traffic. One good email coupled with an irresistible offer can send many visitors (your potential subscribers) to your website or landing page. Then we have paid ads which are google ads, Facebook ads, Instagram ads, native ads, bing ads… As we discussed earlier, you pay before sending traffic to them and they all can be very good and you can generate revenue very fast.
  5. Getting referral is tough. You have to ping people on LinkedIn whom you don’t know or you have to call friends. An easier way is instarefr.com. Simply login, browse through the openings in different companies based on multiple search criteria. If you like any job profile simply click on get referral. Now your profile will be visible to all the current employees of that company. If they like your profile they will refer you in your company.

  7. Take a look at the Received lines in the mail header, you should be able to find the mail server IP or client IP of the system that created the mail. This is usually the last Received line in the header, but sometimes some are fake, so that it could be one further up the list.

  12. The best cloud provider will not be ultra-cheap in their hosting service. The benefits of cloud hosting are vast and there are many providers that offer good quality services. You should never keep the price as your only consideration when looking for a cloud hosting provider. You may have to sacrifice on the quality of services and adjust with poor network connections.

  14. Have a look at VPS deals which Apps4Rent.com provide. Their support crew is polite, expedient, and resolved the difficulties I was experiencing. Highly recommended.
  15. here is no magic spell to make this happen. It takes work. There are already lots of good suggestions here. Not sure what more I can add. But here is my bucketful: 1) Do your research and get to know your audience and what they want to know. 2) Write the content that fulfills what they want to know and post it on your website. This works whether your website is an e-commerce site, a blog, or anything else. Keep it fresh and updated. Most sites are adding video, so if you can add video even if it's to promote the text, do so. (Even though it denies doing so, Google loves material posted on its properties, so I'd post videos on YouTube and promote them on Google+) 3) Stay in touch with your audience. Seek them out on social media, follow or friend them and engage with them, both to find out what they want to read or view and to let them know what you've posted. Ask their opinions on what they've read. 4) Promote your content, both new and existing. Don't hesitate to do it a few times a day, but don't aggravate people by bunching mentions together - space them out. Be creative but don't cheat your reader. Start a hashtag campaign on Twitter or find useful existing Twitter hashtags to piggyback on, but avoid spamming! 5) Enlist "evangelists" (fans) of your work to help you promote it. For instance, enlist especially enthusiastic fans to become admins of a Facebook group page to talk about your content. Engaged fans are far more willing to help you promote. 6) If you have the money to spend, run Facebook sponsorships and Google Adwords (and Bing ad) programs. Twitter offers sponsorships and trend promotions, too. 7) Use Google Analytics and study the data to see where your traffic is coming from, what searches are bringing them to your site, and provide more content that feeds into the need that brought them to you. 😎 If you cover a specific topic rather than general content, consider adding your site as an external link to a qualified Wikipedia topical page. (You can do that by editing the page and adding your site URL or a page URL as an external link.) Without knowing more about your website and the topic(s) you cover I can't offer more suggestions. I hope these help. These are pretty basic but solid suggestions.
  16. Here I am listing 5 Best Practices for Content Promotion that you can use: Create a Content Promotion Calendar A content promotion calendar will help you keep track of various types of communications scheduled to go out and the dates and times for when they will be published. Use Audience Segmentation Once you have a calendar that details your promotional efforts, you can use segmentation to create a specific audience to receive your content. Segmentation is a powerful best practice to use when promoting content across multiple channels. Segmentation is used to divide large audiences or target markets into smaller segments based on specific criteria. Customize Messaging for Each Channel When developing your message, there are a few things you’ll need to keep in mind. The first is the tone of your message. Tone is defined as the general attitude of your message. When deciding the tone, think about the feeling you want your message to carry. Experiment and Optimize Often Experimentation is a great way to learn how to best deliver your content to your audience and is something you should be doing on a consistent basis. Analyze Your Results After you’ve run a successful promotion campaign, it will be time for you to analyze the results of your efforts You’ll need to analyze the results of each campaign in order to identify ways to enhance future campaign performance. Hope this helps.
  17. As an experienced designer, I can personally say that theses sites do work but are ABSOLUTE CRAP! First of all, when you put a site on one of these hosting services, you don't have any security whatsoever. And by that I mean you can't be sure all any content you put on that site is actually protected, backed up or is even going to actually work at a reasonable speed. And also, since you haven't signed any agreement, as soon as you put something on one of those free hosts, they can legally take it and claim it as theirs. Also, some of these services have an annoying feature where your site gets deleted after a few days of inactivity, which means you need to be on the admin at least once a week to keep it maintained. And anyway, after all the trouble of the free services, why not just pay the ten dollars for a whole year of hosting and be done with it?
  18. Basically, cloud is a big platform and according to me, one cannot sell the cloud services in an ultra-cheap manner. There’s a strong reason behind the same is, the cloud platform offers “Pay per use” resources facility. So if your requirement is less then you’ll have to pay less(as per you use) and vice-versa. There are various hosting providers out there in the market which provides several web hosting services such as shared hosting, VPS hosting, reseller hosting, dedicated hosting, WordPress hosting, cloud hosting, etc. at an affordable price point. As mentioned in the question if you’re looking for the ultra cheap cloud hosting then I would personally recommend choosing Apps4Rent hosting company. As the company provides all the mentioned features and services at an affordable price.
  19. There are many ways to make money online, and though there are many scams, there is also a couple of legitimate ways earn money online. the things you want to stay away from are sites that will pay you to take surveys or search the web. Many of these are scams, and even if they aren’t you will not actually earn very much. The best ways to make money online are things that take a little more work, but will pay of endlessly in huge amounts of money. These include Affiliate Marketing E-commerce Drop-Shipping ….and more One if the easiest methods is Affiliate Marketing. This basically means promoting someone else’s product in return for money. It’s easy and free to get setup, and don’t need to keep track of products or anything, it’s very simple. Another benefit is that you can scale tremendously allowing you to make as much money as you want.
  20. By social media I refer to Facebook, Quora and whatsapp, because that's all I use. • Network- The most important function of social media. Contact people who share your interest or work with your future employer or attend your future school. Contact eminent people in your field who you would like to talk to or learn from. Just don't spam them. • Similar to the first point, assess what is currently in demand in your field and what your peers are involved in, and if any of it might interest or help you. Again don't go to the point of stalking. Stay in your limits and access only the information about others that they make available to you. • Actively seek out new opportunities. Graph search was pretty good for this. Search for tag words and find things, events, or chances you had no way of finding offline. • Be nice. Be respectful. Be cautious and don't give away more than you need to. • Similar to above, read the policies of any online services you use. Look up meanings if you don't understand but be aware of what is and Isn't okay. Know what you are giving them access. • Enjoy and connect. Isn't that what social media is for?
  21. The simplest and best tip is to find a baseline benchmark for success and determine a period of time for your campaign. Then review performance in regular intervals (daily/weekly/monthly) to see if youve made any progress toward reaching your success benchmark. At the end of the campaign, make tweaks for your next campaign based on what worked and what did not.
  22. There are several options: Becoming a sole trader - you can just start trading. If you want to sell things, start selling. If you want to provide services do so. You’ll need to obviously follow any certifications and meet any requirements but there shouldn’t be anything ‘administratively’ preventing you. You’ll need to submit tax returns to show earnings etc. Starting a partnership - you can start a limited liability partnership if you have 1 or more other people to go into business with. Again this needs to be registered in a similar way to a limited company (more info should be available on the dot gov website. Starting a limited company - a limited company essentially limits the liability of the individual to the company. To start a limited company you need to register with companies house and pay a fee. There are also requirements to ‘update’ companies house on a periodic basis with things like any changes to the business and your accounts Check out advice from UK GOV website on setting up a limited company.
  23. If you are in an urgent need of funds to meet an emergency situation or other financial goals, loans are the best way to meet the short term financial crisis. All you need is to contact a bank or non-banking financial companies available in the market. Each one has its own benefits and reason for people to avail loan. Here are mediums to apply small loans online: Websites Mobile apps If you are looking for a small loan with short tenure, apply for it through the mobile app or online by visiting the official website of these banks and NBFCs. Options to apply small loans online: Banks NBFCs Just explore the internet and you will get various loan options with easy monthly repayment plans, low-interest rates, enough loan amount and multiple lenders.
  24. Yes but depends on a few things: Only invest if you have discretionary money to spend, and have 0 debt, Invest as a means to diversify your portfolio. Also invest in Stocks, Bonds, currencies, bullion, yourself. Only buy real estate in stable countries with governments with good track records of upholding ownership. Do your research, or hire someone who knows the industry. Dont go in blind, and dont trust friend's "great investment opportunities" Also, investing in real estate can mean you invest in your own home. Make improvements and upgrades, and this will increase the value of your own home and property. This is one of the most common investments in real estate, and can be beneficial to your children if you pass the home on to them.
