This is what Web hosting is today. They promise enormous amounts of web space, unlimited bandwidth and a whole bunch of other things that nobody will ever use. How many of us have a site that needs over 1 gig of space or how about 10+ gigs of bandwidth each month. Then they offer us the ability to host all of our sites under one account, unlimited MYSQL databases, unlimited email accounts, scripts, blogs, and a host of other things that most people will never use unless maybe we are all the size of a walmart or something. They all promise us everything under the sun these days but when it comes time for us to get these things they disappear very quickly and we have to submit a ticket that somebody in India might answer
Why are we paying for more than we'll ever use. We want hosting in the US with good tech support, live chat, and somebody locally that will answer our tickets that we submit. Have you ever noticed how you will pay to get a Joomla site setup for you or how about for Wordpress. Why are we consistently paying for so much when we only need so little. Does anybody ever have requirements like these? I don't even think WalMart needs this kind of bandwidth or ebspace. Last Xmas I maybe had a requirement of 25 gigs of bandwidth and all the other months were way less than 1 gig. The ideal hosting solution would be one where you only pay for what you need at a time. I always make sure they are local companies, in the USA, with a phone number, live chat support and tech support that isn't in some country like India
Why should we be paying for things that none will ever use. A good host only needs to have good training videos Why do these hosting companies offer so much, they realize that 99% of their customers will never need this much. I recently saw one hosting company offering 750 gigs of space and unlimited bandwidth. All of my sites combined don't get anywhere near 750 gigs or exceed using 1 gig of bandwidth per month. If I needed this kind of space I garnet that the hosting company would tell me to go elsewhere. Yhe over promising of space is just a marketing technique. Hell I have recolor hosting with my providor that I will never need, all I need are just add on domains. My son has a video site and he doesn't need more than just 60 gigs of space. Most hosting companies in the US do not allow video or streaming audio. From now on I will be hosting with companies like 1hostguy where I will only pay for what I need. They offer Cpanel, Fantastico, and Wordpress and Jooml;a what more could I ask for?

Are We Destined to Become Robots
By: Jeffrey A Solochek, I | 09/01/2008 | Communication
When you go through the drive through at a nearby fast food restaurant do you want a robot to take your order? Wouldn't you rather talk to a human that greets you like a person? Do we want our children to address us as yes sir and ma'am? Does anybody actually want to date the computer from the original Star Trek series? What about something more than marriage?
Are these things to become our destiny? Will robots have personality someday? There are no answers to this phenomena only a lot more questions. How far is this to go? What will become of the human touch? Do we want robots to ask us how our day has went? With robots will anybody ever stand out from the crowd? Will there ever be a Purple Cow with robots?

Hi there! My brother was the executor of my late ...
By: albystreet | 18-08-2008
Hi there! My brother was the executor of my late aunts' wills- They were never married and never had children,and he and my other 3 siblings were their only heirs. They died within two years of each other, the survivor inheriting all of the other's assets. It seems that their substantial estate dwindled after my first aunt died, my brother having power of attorney and writing all of the checks for the surviving aunt. My brother has not provided us with the financial activity of their accounts, despite our asking him many times. What recourse do we have? He claims lots of expenses for the last aunt, but they should have been able to last on the dividends they were receiving for many years without going into principals. What can I do? Thanks so much for your help!

Wrong Number Marketing

If you use a little creativity and send a postcard with a picture of someplace like Hawaii and a message that looks hand written then maybe you'll get a 2 or 3 percent positive response.

You Get What you Pay for

If you want a Starbuck's Quality cup of coffee then it is going to cost more than a quarter. The same goes with hiring of employees. Do we expect a great one if you are only willing to pay minimum wage. Look at shoes as an example. You can get a great pair with all these great features for less than $100 but if you are going to buy the $10 pair at your local Wal-Mart then thatch all you are going to get.
