With wallets getting tighter and penny pinching becoming the norm, it helps to be able to get items at a discounted price. However, does the same apply to finding a web host reseller?

It seems to be an accepted fact that the minds at Google are always up to something. Just last week, it was announced that the corporation was designing their own tablet, and now it seems they’re trying to offer users more insight into their Google account doings.

Jaded may be the word when it comes to communication these days. While communication has always been something of a two-way street, some may agree that things were a lot less convoluted when it just involved using a simple telephone. Things have undoubtedly changed.

This can be quite an issue when it relates to the business world…especially texting.
Two years ago, if anyone would have told me that I’d be working in web hosting, I’d have called them a liar. It is an accepted fact among my peers and colleagues that I like writing. Putting pen to paper just seems to beguile me — hence the reason I majored in journalism and communications. I wanted to meet people, inspire others and interview legends while clutching a digital audio recorder and asking pressing questions. It’s funny that sometimes the things that we plan on doing don’t quite work out the way that we expected – not that there’s anything wrong with that. After all, sometimes our trajectories in terms of a career can lead us to something we didn’t quite anticipate…like web hosting for example.
When it comes to getting information nowadays, the Internet seems to be everyone’s primary source. There’s nothing wrong with that. After all, it is 2012.

Nevertheless, there are things that can hinder that particular funnel in terms of being appealing and captivating when it comes to some websites.
