    Sponsoring tips

    I've seen several opportunities where I could have become a sponsor assuming I had the money for it. While I'm not really considering such an action at this very moment, it's definitely something I'd be interested once I move away from only serving a small amount of private clients. What would...

    Defamatory complaints?

    I haven't encountered this issue from either a client or host perspective, however I have read of some cases related to it so I'm interested in what to do if it ever occurs. So let's say one of your clients is a individual who has a anti-<insert company here> website and they don't claim to be...

    Subdomain for multilingual?

    Due to the nature of one my websites, I plan to make it multilingual and I'm unsure of how to handle it in terms of accessibility. I'm currently considering two things, having the non-English version as otherlanguage.domain.com or domain.com/otherlanguage. I'd use the initials for that language...

    Some doubts about parking

    It's been a while since I've looked into parking domains but recently reconsidered this option as Adsense is no longer paying off and rather than have these domains sit idle, I could hopefully at least cover the reg. fee with some parking revenue. If I'm not mistaken, some parking sites only...

    Bulk dark shirts?

    I've thought about getting a couple of shirts to giveaway in local events in the future when I'm ready to move from only hosting a couple of small private clients to a larger customer base but most custom shirt sites I've seen charge about $18+ per dark colored shirt which is a bit too much...

    Litespeed rewrite rules?

    I tried using Litespeed a couple of times but couldn't get my mod_rewrite rules to work on it. Do any of you know of a tool that can convert the Apache rewrite rules for htaccess to something that Litespeed will correctly use or at least a tutorial on how to convert them as that was the only...

    NC Affiliate?

    Have any of you given the NameCheap affiliate program a try yet? It was about time they offered this and hope that they're as reliable with payments as they are with registrations.

    Flat DBs?

    I've encountered several flat file database driven scripts and never really used them in a production site that received much traffic so I didn't get a chance to put them to the test. From my understanding, these scripts have the advantage of not having to deal with SQL resources which is good...

    Mascot?

    Have any of you found any significant positive results from investing in getting a mascot designed to represent your company or designed a good one yourself? Also, if you've gotten one designed, what's a fair price to pay?

    Those dollar hosts

    Although I have my main server along with some trusted shared hosting accounts for some small personal projects, I always like to have some spare cheap hosting accounts in case one of my shared hosts ever goes down or for giving some web space to friends/family. I've tried a couple of really...

    MyBB recommendation

    If you're looking for a good free PHP based forum script I highly recommend MyBB. I used to use SMF but once I switched over to MyBB I haven't looked back. The only cons of MyBB are that there aren't as many themes or plugins but the ones that do exist are pretty good. In addition, the support...

    Cash payments?

    From a consumer point of view, I find it much easier to pay my server bills via PayPal/CC as the merchant will get the money right away and any outstanding bill will be taken care of instantly (hopefully at least). However, not every consumer is like me and some prefer to pay via cash, how do...

    Is Drupal really all that?

    I've attempted to use Drupal over WordPress for a couple of projects of mine but in the end found it too complex and couldn't find the right modifications to suit my needs so I ended up using WordPress like I originally had planned. I hear a lot of people vouch for Drupal though and have seen...
