The Power of Search Engine Friendly URLs
Thu, 05 Jan 2006 00:00:00 EST
I recently invested quite some time into generating search engine friendly URLs for several of my websites to increase my ranking and to have more pages indexed.
For starters it is amazing what difference it can make when you narrow down your target market. Going for a specific niche market is the way to go on the web. Many web hosting services hardly have a specific target market and prefer to be as general as possible believing that this would give them a better chance of signing up as many clients as possible. Actually the very opposite happens and many web hosts have quickly found that they are more profitable when they target a specific web hosting market.
We checked their prices and one of their packages was with almost
the same price as it was with EartHoster. We went ahead and paid
and received our login details. We just than realized that we have
purchased simply a big hosting account with the possibility to place
many web sites on, but it was not a reseller account and it was also
without WHM panel.
Web hosting is just one affiliate market you could try out and make some good and continuous income. Just remember that to be successful on your endeavor also means that time, effort and patience is needed.

My favorite acquisition of the month:
Chatswood NSW Australia - Broadcast Australia entered into an agreement to acquire Hostworks Group Limited a full service dedicated/managed colo company in a $68.9 million transaction. Each firm’s competencies complement each other – actually/really – synergistic - Check out the links to see what I mean. This is a great marriage – also the deal is a 37% premium to the latest closing price of Hostworks shares.
The UK and its past and related domains were busy in December.

BlueHost News
1 Mar 2008 - Here we go again BlueHost.com has again increased their bandwidth
to 15,000 GB per month and increased their disk space to 1,500 GB. This is more
than double what they were offering just 4 months ago. However this certainly
shows that BlueHost is dedicated to giving their customers ample resources.
8 Dec 2007 - Well BlueHost has done it again. They have just doubled their
diskspace and bandwidth. This means you now get a huge 600GB of diskspace of
bandwidth and 6000GB of transfer. This should be enough to satisy even the most
bandwidth and diskspace hungry site. With these offerings and BlueHost's
unmatched reliability, BlueHost is undoubtedly the best value for money host out
there at the moment. I have had this site hosted on BlueHost for over 3 years
now and it's been an exceelent experience. I highly recommend BlueHost.com
1st Jan 2007 - BlueHost has just increased their plan offerings from 50GB
diskspace to 300GB diskspace and bandwidth has increased from 999GB to 3000GB.
For $6.95/month the plan that is being offered by BlueHost is undoubtedly the
best around. A great plan along with unbeatable support and custom service makes
BlueHost the top choice for web hosting. Just 2 years ago when I first wrote
this BlueHost review they were offering only 1GB of hosting space and 50Gb of
bandwidth. It is a clear sign that BlueHost is moving with the times.
My Experience With BlueHost
This site has been hosted with BlueHost for about 3 years (since July 2004) and
I have been nothing but impressed by BlueHost's superior support and
reliability. Their Phone and email support staff are extremely knowledgeable and
friendly. BlueHost offers A-Grade service and features for a very low price. If
you are looking for a cheap, reliable and feature packed host I highly recommend
BlueHost.com . I have hosted with many hosts including webcentral, globat and
ipowerweb, but nothing compares with BlueHost.
About BlueHost.com
Way back in 1996 the web hosting industry saw the introduction of yet another
webhost in BlueHost.com, another addition to an already growing list of service
providers. Many other service providers have come and disappeared since then,
but with their reliable service coupled with friendly and patient support staff
(rated as best support staff of 2005) BlueHost sits comfortably among the best
in the hosting business today.
Hosting Plans from BlueHost

are currently the best in the industry. One of the greatest advantages of
BlueHost is that you can host unlimited domains on one account this is a huge
saving if you have more than 1 site or excellent if you plan on making more.
With this plan you also get many added features like 2500 POP3 web based emails,
5 addon domains, FTP, PHP, CGI, cPanel and a lot more features that provide you

comparison and you�ll find that only BlueHost offers so much for such a low
price.

that there is a hardware failure of some type. The staff at BlueHost is highly
skilled and specialised in designated work areas and they can work to solve any
problem if it arises quickly and effectively. The BlueHost review has been
conducted as we find BlueHost to be very reliable and very good for sites that
always need to be available.
Support
For the package that they offer and the mass amount of clientele they have,
customer support at the highest level is a must. BlueHost delivers at that level
by providing quick and responsive support. A complete searchable database of
