There are many things to consider when choosing a web host. Cost, downtime, and customer service are among the most important factors to me. Reading reviews can help determine which hosts do the best in those fields. For me, finding the right company was a matter of trial and error over the last decade, which is why I’m here to offer you some pointers.

Finding a shared host is a lot easier than finding a dedicated server. For one, it’s cheaper to play the trial and error game, and for two there’s usually no startup costs. Many shared hosts offer unlimited everything these days, but you should really be careful of such claims. Not all web hosts have the resources to provide truly unlimited service to thousands of customers. http://www.howtosignupforwebhosting.com has a great list of some solid companies to choose from when it comes to shared hosting. Their #1 rated company is also the company of my choosing after my extensive trial and error period. HostGator provides unlimited everything, will still providing a down free environment.

Finding a dedicated host can be a lot more stressful. Often times a company will charge a hefty setup fee just to put your server online. This is because they have to allot a computer for your needs as well as install an operating system. A comprehensive list of companies that offer dedicated hosting can be found at http://www.cheapestdedicatedservers.com My pick out of that list is 1&1. They are an extremely reliable company when it comes to uptime as well as customer service. During my use of 1&1′s services, I had no problems at all.

Finding the right web host can be a stressful time. If you take the time to read reviews and what other people are saying about them, you can avoid a lot of hassles and stress. The number one thing to remember when picking out a host is that low prices are not always better deals. In this case the saying you get what you pay for is an extremely valuable piece of advice.

Tired of shaving with hand razors?  Well so am I.  Typically guys frown upon electric razors for varying reasons.  Common complaints are that they’re loud, or you can’t get a smooth shave with them.  However, there are some good products on the market.  Stick with us and check out the best electric shaver 2013.

Out of all the reviewed shavers, the Phillips Norelco SensoTouch 3D was by far the best.  You may be thinking come on, 3D, what a gimmick.  Wrong, this razor gave us the cleanest and smoothest cuts out of all the other ones we tried.  It works on one day old stubble and even days old stubble.  We found that wetting your face, or applying a little cream beforehand gave the best results.

A common problem even with some of the best razors is shaving the contours of your face.  The SensoTouch 3D did a great job in the chin and neck area with its head that pivots and tilts.

The ratio of battery versus run time was also pretty good.  I found on average that an hour of charging gave about an hour’s worth of run time.  Pretty fare compared to other shavers.  There are even LEDs on it to display how much charge time you have left, talk about fancy for a razor.

I don’t normally associate technology with electric shavers, but this is an exception.  This shaver has all the cool tech to bring us into 2013.  LEDs, good charge time, over 14,000 cycle times per minute, and a flexible/pivoting head are all examples of why this is one of the best shavers money can buy.

I’ve been using HostGator’s web hosting for a couple years now. It was pretty disconcerting to find out that an ex HostGator employee was recently arrested for leaving a malicious trojan on some 2,723 servers that left him root access after he was terminated. The 29 year old Texas man now faces felony charges for breach of computer security. Such events are constant reminders of the damage that even medium level employees can do to large businesses. That’s why it’s important to find your IT professionals through services like www.csitechinc.com.

The medium level system administrator didn’t even work for HostGator for a year before he was terminated in February, 15th 2012. Before he left, he installed a trojan using the name of a common executable name of a unix service, pcre. The trojan gave him root access to over 2,700 HostGator servers, allowing him full control over all of the computers.

Further attempts to hide the trojan were made by modifying popular services that list outgoing and incoming network connections. Netstat and ps where among two of the programs modified so you could not easily detect the trojan with routine maintenance.

According to HostGator, while he did have access to tens of thousands of personal and business websites, no personal information was stolen or modified in the attacks. The trojan itself was discovered the same week the ex-employee was terminated, before any harm could come to their network. While it is a little disappointing that HostGator didn’t notify customers of the breach, I’m glad they caught it before it became a problem.

The latest news in the battle of search engines is that Google is five times safer to use than Bing. While this may be true, this statistic isn’t the bad news many people are making it out to be. The fact is while Bing did produce more Malware results than Google, both search giants produced a fairly low number of malicious websites.

At first I was shocked to read this, however, after doing further research it’s not nearly as bad as it sounds. Over a period of 18 months AV-Test searched for trending search terms on seven major search engines including Bing, Google, Ask Jeeves, and Baidu, a popular Chinese search engine. Almost 11 million queries were made to each search engine with only 1,285 results found to be malicious on Bing. This means that only 0.011% of searches resulted in something AV-Test deemed malicious. Google in comparison only had 272 URLs which prompted concern.

In perspective, that doesn’t seem like a lot for either of them. That percentage is so low you could make tens of thousands of searches before encountering a malicious search result. AV-Test got their search queries from popularly trending items on Twitter, Google, and BBC. In most cases SEO & Social Media was used to bump up malicious websites into the top 10 search results for certain terms. This may mean that Bing is more susceptible to search engine optimization techniques used by internet marketers to boost their rankings in search engines.

As of 2009 Internet Explorer has a feature to detect when you’re about to visit a phishing or malicious website. Many leading web browsers such as Chrome, Safari, and Firefox also have such protection features. This fact, combined with only a .011% rate of malicious URLs found should give any internet user the peace of mind to use Bing or any other search engine.
