Lofty Matters

I still have two years left on my hosting package, but I have learned a lot about what is important in a webhosting service. There are some things about my webhost that are not…let’s just say…not huge incentives to renewing with my current host.

Before and if I do renew, I will definitely be looking very closely at what is out there and will be selecting the host with the best service, the most options, and the most competitive price.

Network Solutions is one website host that I’ve been reading about. Choosing Network Solutions gives you ample space and bandwidth. They also include a free domain, 99.9% uptime, and 24/7 customer support.

I will just interrupt myself for a moment to say that already, Network Solutions seems to have several edges over my current host. The 24/7 customer support is a GREAT incentive. When you are having trouble with your sites, waiting for tech help to open the next morning is IRRITATING.

They have three different packages and listen to this. Pick one that you think will work for you, if you need to upgrade later you can. This is a great idea! The basic package is $9.96/month, next is $13.30/month, and the pro package is $29.13.

Network Solutions is the recipient of the Find My Host Editor’s Choice Award for June 2008. Take a look at this service – it’s worth it!

Excitement about Barack Obama’s sealing the democratic presidential nomination has broken out as a global phenomenon Wednesday. The world welcomed the news.

The excitement was due to a sense that this candidate with relatives in Africa and childhood friends in Asia marks a historic moment.

In Kenya, the home of Obama’s paternal extended family, a newspaper devoted its front page to Obama’s victory.

Indonesians were rooting for the man they consider to be a hometown hero. Obama lived there from age 6 to 10 with his mother and Indonesian stepfather.

The Times newspaper of London said Obama’s campaign “has rekindled America’s faith in its prodigious powers of reinvention – and the world’s admiration for America.”

Obama opposed the invasion of Iraq and has called for an early troop withdrawal. He also has shown willingness to engage in talks with Iran, North Korea and Cuba.
