Why to Choose Paid Hosting Instead of Free?

Author : Jeffrey Haber

Many of you faced with the question today of having a web site. And after developing your site you will probably starting to find good free hosting.What's the catch with the free hosting providers?There is nothing in this world for free. Ask yourself a question - how do they survive?They have to pay for servers, bandwidth, server software and got no income?The answer is - advertising, yeah they place an ads on your site and usually have a tracking tools to decidewhether traffic on your site click on their ads and generate income or not. If not do not be surprised your account closed.- Free hosting companies usually place their own ads on your site.- There are some free hosting companies that do not place an ads but if you get some traffic on your site your free provider may close your account and place his own page with ads instead of your site.- PHP, CGI, Perl and many other tech tools are disabled.- You have very limited disk space and limited bandwidth.- You have not memorized by others address like /freehoster.com/somedir/~youraccount- You don't have useful tools like Site builder, add-on scripts which some paid hosting companies offer for free.- You don't have email address similar as your account name.- A lot of free hosts change their Terms without warning you. - Because they are offering free hosting, the majority of them can not afford to offer 24/7 or any support.- Very few free web hosts offer a control panel with their plans.With pay host you eliminate all this inconveniences except one - it's not free.I know this is not simple step to decide to pay for hosting. So if you need just informationpage for your friends then free hosting option is right for you. But if this is your presentationsite or you plan to do some business and need tools like PHP, CGI etc... I'd recommend to take a look at paid hosting companies.

Methods for emergency contraception

Author : Olivia Andrews

Many women today want to hold their pregnancy or they look for a planning and because of this they take help of birth control pills. A birth control pill is an effective means to avoid unwanted pregnancy each time after having an intercourse.There are various forms of birth controls methods found such as condoms, contraceptive patches or contraceptive pills. Other methods include contraceptive sponge, vaginal ring, diaphragm or other fertility awareness methods. Amongst these, oral contraceptive pills are found to be quite effective and much in used by women around the world. A contraceptive pill contains the hormones estrogen and progesterone that prevent pregnancy. Broadly classified there are four types of pills known as combined pills that are normally used on a daily basis. An emergency control pill helps to avoid unwanted pregnancy when there has been an unprotected intercourse but this pill has to be taken within three days of the act. Others include mini pill and phased regime pills that are not much common in use. Emergency contraceptive or "morning after" pill can be also said to be a backup method to prevent pregnancy but it should not be used in routine. There are chances that while using a condom it broke or a woman fails to take the hormonal birth control pill on time then emergency control pill is very effective if taken within 72 hours of the intercourse. While taking an emergency control pill some women can have their period earlier or later than the usual cycle. The main difference between a combination pill and an emergency pill is that it holds larger amount of levonorgestrel that works to avoid pregnancy. Emergency contraceptives such as plan b should be used within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. The first dose should be taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, and the second dose is taken 12 hours later. The sooner it is used, the more effective it is.For more information upon emergency contraception please visit our website http://www.benzer11.com/planb.html Olivia Andrews, writing for http://www.benzer11.com/planb.html

Fine Art Supplies

Author : Seth Miller

Fine art is any kind of aesthetic expression, communication, or expression. In ancient times painting and sculpture were two examples of fine art. The term fine art, according to the encyclopedia, was coined in 1767 and referred to objects of beauty that appealed to taste. Today the term encompasses murals, installations, tapestry making, terracotta work, photography, and more.An artist gives expression to his muse using either paints, clay, cloth, wood, thread, stone, iron strips or any other material that may catch his eye. Many centuries ago artists used materials that existed around himwood pieces brought in by the waves, rock surfaces, the walls of his home, or the walls of caves, ceilings of churches and other places of worship. Now fine art supplies encompass specially manufactured adhesives, paper, canvas, paints, tools, kilns, potters wheels, easels, art books, instructional videos, lighting, brushes, and studio furniture.Products are manufactured at two levels for use by children and amateurs and for use by professional artists. The ones for use by amateurs are cheaper but of a lower standard than those manufactured for professional use. There are manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, and online stores devoted solely to the business of fine art supplies.The first stores were established as early as the 17th century and have moved with the times, going from single outlets to chain stores, to wholesale distribution, and now to online stores where artists can order materials, view catalogues, look up special discounts and promos, and more. Some websites host forums and classifieds, and announce art shows as well as courses. Business has come a long way from selling a brush or tube of paint, to encompass the world of fine art in its many forms and needs. Art Supplies provides detailed information on Art Supplies, Art Supply Stores, Wholesale Art Supplies, Fine Art Supplies and more. Art Supplies is affliated with Flash Animation.

Running Hydration Gear! A Good Water Hydration System Keeps The Motor Running

Author : William Lezubski
For individuals preparing for their next marathon or leisure running event, you know how important it is to keep your body fully hydrated to maintain your ultimate peak performance. But no matter what level of runner you are, having properly designed running hydration gear can be the vital reinforcement in helping you get across that finish line safely!A balanced performance level for runners is a very important component, and your concentration level plays a key role in keeping proper pace, and maintaining your ability to read the warning signs your body is telling you. This is why the correct sports apparel and running equipment is just as important as the training for the serious running enthusiast.Hydration accessories play a key role in the runner's mix of sports products needed to keep their endurance at the level required by the individual runner. Many designs are currently available that not only provide functionality, but also offer comfort and stability. While running long distance or taking short mountainous trail runs, the last thing you want to be worrying about is if your water pack is fitting correctly, and the gear content isn't shifting and bouncing all over your body.With inferior product designs, you will experience more frustration, and with your attention focusing on your bottle gear and not your activity, you increase your chances of throwing your concentration off, or even worse, you may seriously injure yourself.Hydration Packs Are Specially Designed Running Systems!Like proper running shoes, athletic clothing, and accessories such as a pedometer, all have certain features that you desire in order to assist you in an overall better performance. The same applies when you choose your hydration pack, because all packs are not created equal, and they also have features that may differ in application.The right running system for you will determine on what level of comfort you're looking for and also the required function. If you're a speed walker, you may feel the packs with the water bottles will be sufficient, however, if you're a full out long distant runner, having bottles may be a hindrance, and switching to a more stable waist pack with a bladder/reservoir system, plus also adjustable features that will prevent bouncing during your stride, may be exactly what you're looking for in a water hydration system.The good news is that with the incredible technology and design, you have many options today than ever before, and when you start searching outdoor sporting good stores, or online bag suppliers, you should have no worries finding the right running pack that's right for your needs.As an athlete, I understand the importance of maintaining the concentration levels during a good run, or any other sporting activity that requires your mind to keep that necessary focus.

Leadership and Communication, It All Goes Together

Author : Robert Paisola
Talk Like a Leader!Leadership and motivation are critical challenges for people who are deemed LEADERS by their companies and peers. After all, you get the best results when you're taking the lead to motivate clients and colleagues to take action. In fact, if you're not coming to grips with the challenges of providing leadership and motivation, you're selling yourself short. However, many professionals in leadership positions misunderstand what leadership and motivation are about. One of the main reasons is that they're choosing to communicate through presentations, not leadership talks. This not only communicates information, it helps the leader establish a deep, human, emotional connection with people—so important in motivating them to achieve results.When you replace your presentations with leadership talks, you'll see a dramatic increase in the effectiveness of your meetings.What will help you deliver great leadership talks is the three-trigger motivational process.1. Know your audience's needsThe leadership talk is about achieving not just average results, but great results, meaning "more results, faster and continually." You will not have people getting such results unless they choose to be ardent cause leaders. And they will not make that choice until they believe that being cause leaders will help solve their own problems, not yours. When you're helping clients and colleagues meet their needs, you've got a good chance of motivating them to make the cause-leader choice. So here are the questions you must know the answer to before having your leadership talk: What is changing for them in their work? What's their major problem? What do they fear? What do they wish for? What actions do they want to take? Who do they want to have leading them if it is not you?2. Feel strongly about what you're saying:Remember that your own belief isn't enough to make a leadership talk effective. The issue is, can you transfer your belief to your clients and colleagues so they'll believe as strongly as you do? To do this, you must establish two things: who you are and why you're in front of them. Who you are involves your knowledge and skills; if people perceive that you have weak knowledge, skills, or commitment, they'll peg you as unworthy, or worse, untrustworthy. And why are you there? To help them best meet their needs. Organizations are not formed to solve the personal needs of members--they're formed to get results. Prove to them that the best results come when you have critical convergence of the needs of the people and the needs of the organization.3. Motivate the audience to take action?Clearly, what you say in a leadership talk is important; but what's more important is what your clients and colleagues do after you've spoken. needs. You can bring deep belief to what you're saying, but if you don't get them to take action, it was not a leadership talk. Most presentations I've witnessed end, unfortunately, with no call to action. Challenge people to take action.Robert Paisola is driven by a passion for people--motivating them to reach for the highest standards of success.

Unsecured Loans: The Lesser Known Sibling Of Secured Loans

Author : Aditya Thakur
What is man’s greatest invention?Some of the latest gizmos would immediately crop up in our minds as the most probable of the answers. But do these gizmos really deserve the veneration that they receive. True, they have revolutionized lives. But they have been characterized with impermanence. Another new invention and the earlier invention is nowhere to be seen.One invention of man which has withstood the challenges of time is a home. The earlier users of home might have constructed it just for shelter purposes. But it has assumed new roles in a person’s life. Besides providing shelter, it has become an indispensable status symbol. Home has continued adopting new fashions and styles, and thus still holds the same esteemed position that it held in the primitive ages.People revere their houses, and would think twice before taking any step which imperils its existence. Since secured loans entail keeping home as collateral, most people who value their houses would dread taking the loan. A single default may lead to ones house being repossessed. And with this all dreams which the customer and his/ her spouse may have dreamt with their home as a scenic backdrop fades forever.This single fact has led a large number of people, including those who do not have the luxury of homes, to look for different options, in spite of secured loans offering a much better rate of interest.“All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost”. So said J.R.R.Tolkien, an English novelist and scholar. Going by the logic it would be unprofessional to not cater to the vast population who do not want to keep their homes to any kind of obligation, or who do not have a home in the first place, on the grounds that they can cause default in payments.To fill up this vacuum and to cater to this vast population which was till yet unsatisfied or was debarred from the credit process at the very initial stages because of the absence of home, the concept of unsecured loans was launched.So what is an unsecured loan? An Unsecured loan is a loan for those who do not take a secured loan. The lender provides the loan without having to keep any collateral.
The loan provider in this case has more risk to bear. He doesn’t have the cushion of home or property to meet the contingencies like constant default. So he would counter it through a higher rate of interest. But customers who desire to keep their homes safe will bear the high interest rate without flinching. The interest rates may be slightly higher than what is charged for secured loans. One doesn’t have to rely on the high street lenders who charge a very high rate. There are many reputable lenders who may offer the most desired terms.Unsecured loans are very fast in being approved. The lender doesn’t need to value the worth of the customers’ property, which is the most time consuming process. The result is fast cash for the customers to benefit from.Since there is no collateral involved in the process, lenders would dread offering loans to those who have a bad credit history. The denial extends even to those who have received County Court Judgements or Individual Voluntary Agreements. But there are lenders who will happily take the risk; of course charging a higher rate of interest for their services.Taking out an unsecured loan doesn’t give one a license to default. The lender can take actions to make good his defaults. While in the case of secured loans the lender would have immediately covered the defaults through liquidation of the collateral; in unsecured loans they would have to take the help of the court, which ultimately results in repossession of the home.Such court proceedings can result into the customer’s name being entered on the defaulters list with the credit agencies for around 6 years. And in these 6 years a person won’t be able to get loans as lenders perceive the customer as precarious or bound to default. This would certainly be a very complicated scenario since a person does need loan to meet contingencies.To skip such a scenario one would have to be very cautious right from the time when one plans the loan. The following checklist would be of immense help:Decide what amount you really require.
Select the lender.
Decide the amount to be repaid monthly.
Make an optimum balance between the ultimate cost of the loan and the monthly repayments.
Make an optimum balance between the amount of monthly repayments and their number.
Be regular in repayments.With these points in place one can really enjoy the most out of the unsecured loan and rest assured as to the safety of his home.Aditya has completed his masters in mass communications from Jamia University.
