On Thursday September 20th, 2012 HostDime attended and helped sponsor the Nap Ford Community School’s fundraiser event at Ember nightclub in Orlando. The event kicked off with a great musical set by Cornbread Blues followed by an amazing performance by CeCe Teneal and Soul Kamotion.
Most of your consumers will be easy to work with, pay their bills on time, and provide you very little hassle. But there are always those troublemakers who will make your life unpleasant and will refuse to pay for your services. In the movies, you’d just call one of your shady connections who’s handy with a baseball bat. But this is real life, and neither of us are gangsters, so here’s a helpful guide to deal with these slow and non-paying clients in a professional manner.
The HostDime crew was out in spades this week at iSummit 2012 in beautiful Orlando, Florida. iSummit brings together digital leaders to discuss emerging trends and intriguing strategies for interactive technologies.

International web hosting provider HostDime.com, Inc. has provided Full Sail University’s Internet Marketing degree program students with free web hosting.

The cPanel enabled hosting plans will also be fully managed by HostDime’s industry leading support team.
The hosting industry is as popular as ever and is growing each day with new, independent start-ups looking to be the next big web hosting provider. Unfortunately, many entrepreneurs do not have the start-up capital to purchase loads of dedicated servers to re-purpose as shared servers or reseller machines. In most cases, businesses start out on a shared reseller platform and scale up the tiers of hosting as their business grows or as their clients’ needs increase.

Ah, passwords, the keys to modern living. It seems you can’t go anywhere or do anything these days without a password. You workstation needs a password, your gym needs a password, even your trusty buddy the cell phone may need a password. With so many passwords it’s tempting to make life easy and just have one master key, or password to make life simple. While this may be easy, it’s definitely not secure and you risk putting in danger every access point where you use that “master key.”
It brings to mind the old castle housekeeper with gigantic ring of keys to every room in the castle. What a burdensome load to carry. Wouldn’t a master key be better? Yes it would, but one stolen key and the whole castle is breached.
