Hostmonster has been operating since 1996 and is one of the oldest web hosting provider with an excellent feedback. For what is worth, Host Monster and Blue Host are owned by the same company. Both offer almost the same support, configuration and price as well. They own and operate their own data center with top end servers and excellent infrastructure.

HostMonster has a LOT of features to offer at cheap price. Consider these; UNLIMITED DOMAINS, Cpanel with Fantastico, Domain Name, Shell Access(SSH), Custom PHP.INI Files, 100MySQL Databases and the list goes on. Frankly, this is more than what any advanced user will ask for.

One thing that I really love about Hostmonster is because users are allowed to control almost everything related to their domains all by themselves.

So if, at one point, you decide to extend your expiration date or you want to add privacy protection to a particular domain, you can always do that via the domain manager inside the control panel. Unlike some other hostings, you may need to open ticket and wait for their staffs to do it on your behalf.

In term of performance, HostMonster claims to host all their hosting accounts on latest Quad Opteron Servers, backed with backup UPS and generators with all servers are put on 24/7 monitoring. Hostmonster also offer OC-48 backbone connection for all the servers. Personally, I'm extremely happy with the overall performance of HostMonster and after almost a year with it, I never experience any down time on 6 domains (not that I'm aware of).

Reimage Home Edition is basically a web-based service that automates PC maintenance and repairs so that any PC will run like new, everyday. Reimage is using a proprietary technology mimicking a human decision making process to identify and execute the repair plan.

Through the Reimage website via an ActiveX control, they scan the system files, folders, registry keys and drivers looking for something missing or something that shouldnt be there. This can be anything from missing critical system files to an adware infection of your computer. Once they find the problem, the website fixes it.

Honestly, I am always skeptical when it comes to a product that sounds too good to be true. One best thing to dispel the doubt is by trying this software myself. The test drive starts after I created another OS boot (so my computer now runs on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 Beta).

To summarize the whole process, it takes about 10 minutes to analyze the whole system, and few more minutes after fixing process is initiated. I'm satisfied with the repair so I never tested the undo function (say if something goes wrong).

The following video contains the gist of the reimaging operation and how it works to analyze and protect your computer from any threats.

Video: How the technology works

The concept of this product is superb because it saves lots of people's time, unfortunately the only major setback to this wonderful product is it is not yet available on Windows Vista. With Windows 7 is drawing near, Reimage need to work even harder and faster to fill in the gaps.

For those who prefer to test this out themselves, the Reimage software can be downloaded here.

If you are interested in learning the current Reimage's development, you can visit its Reimage blog which is updated from time to time. If you have any suggestions or criticism, you can always voice out your opinion by leaving them a comment or two.

The key to their survival and making whopping profits lies at the expensive purchase of consumables like ink cartridges that we need to purchase over and over again. The ink volume in inkjet cartridges has changed gradually over time, but more dramatic in the last few years. Cartridge size has been shrinking in general from all printer manufacturers but the retail price has not decreased at the same rate.

Feeling ripped off for purchasing cheap printer and then having to buy expensive cartridges from time to time will only make consumers more inclined to try alternative solutions even though this will expose consumers to small fraction of shoddy cartridges.

Consumers in the UK can be considered lucky because they have reliable alternative. InkShop is a specialized company which provides the best quality compatible and remanufactured printer ink cartridges at the lowest prices (up to 75% off) under the stringent ISO 9001/9002 standards.

Suffice to say it worked like a charm and I finally managed to convert the DVD format to the desired format (it's worth to mention it can even convert DVD to AVI, MPG, WMV and many more).

While going the long hours ripping the DVDs Blaze Media Pro, I explored other features that are available in Blaze Media Pro. It's really a versatile software when it comes to editing, ripping, burning (good CD burning software & DVD burning software), and converting audios and videos. Not like many other softwares, most other media recording softwares are only associated to common file types. This software was able to do amd conversion and almost every file out there.

Now, the thing that makes Blaze Media Pro really stands out as compared to other video/audio editing softwares is primarily due to its whole media management program (with intuitive interface) which makes it a perfect package. Blaze Media Pro is able to handle file format like CD, MP3, WAV, WMA, OGG, MPEG-4, AIFF, M4A, AAC, AC3, FLAC, ALAC, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, AVI, WMV, ASF, Flash (SWF and FLV), iPod, PSP, 3GP, and MOV. If you want to see the supported formats take a look at the "Help File". I'm sure you will be surprised by the number of formats the software can work with.

Blaze Media Pro Requirements

Blaze Media Pro works with Windows 98 SE, ME, 2000, XP or Vista (tried on XP and Vista), a Pentium class 800 MHz processor or better with 512 MB RAM recommended, an SVGA or higher resolution display and DirectX 8.1 or better.

If you don't mind to invest some money for your time (no more time wasting), I highly recommend this software where you can pick up a copy of Blaze Media Pro for $50.

Judging from its look, it has a simple yet vibrant logo at the top, giving visitors a good impression on its credibility. Yup, I agree. Design is not the concern of many people as we seek for a good hosting. Bear in mind though, great overall design usually reflects on the quality of a particular website.

Well defined categories will definitely helps users in making apple-to-apple comparison and hence better decision making.

Apart from that, there are 3 primary qualities that make Web Hosting Geeks stands out above the rest.

Independent Reviews submitted by Hosting Customers – People can sure read the brochure from hosting websites about all the ‘good’ things related to their services but do they really live to the expectation? The best way to judge the real performance and quality of a hosting is by referring to reviews and ratings cast away by their existing customers.

As more web hosting reviews and ratings could be gathered, it effectively builds up into an independent pool and reliable source of reading for potential customers.

Up-to-date Uptime Monitoring – This is a unique feature that can hugely assist bloggers and webmasters in choosing hosting company for their websites. Frequent downtime might be a major turn off to your visitors and it also reflects how bad a company is in providing guaranteed uptime.

Quality web hosting articles - Here’s the best part of this site. While advanced webmasters can easily decide of what they want for their websites, this is not necessarily the case for newbies. Going through the articles will definitely give a better insight of what are you dealing with and it will effectively guide you into making sound decision.

But before I go on with this, let me give a brief explanation on what wiki is; because I'm sure some of you don't have any idea of this service. To start with, wiki is a website that may be easily and quickly developed by a community using only the Web browser on their computer. Wikis are easy to use by groups with common interests or communities of practice. Here's some of the pluses of using wiki and it is discussed in great length in here:

Best of all, it's totally free!

This website is relatively new. Even though the articles repository is relatively small at the moment, as it gains momentum, webmasters and writers will keep coming to inflate this howto.fm with quality articles. In term of design, Howto.fm has simple design yet attractive and sleek. Its navigation is well laid out, ease off user to browse through the entire website. For those who is expecting new articles, RSS is there to keep you updated with the latest updates and it will definitely come handy. Articles are sorted by categories, helping readers can browse their way into their preferred subjects.

Like I mention earlier on, Howto.fm is quite new and has a lot room for improvements but, all in all, I would like to recommend you this website as it has great potential to further expand and hence make your submitted articles much worthy.

Is there any catch?

This service is absolutely free and the only thing that you need to worry about is your operator charges. Getting an unlimited data plan seems to be the best option in order to fully appreciate this service as you will not be overwhelmed by the charges and the data bottleneck.

Installation

Installation is just a piece of cake, thanks to Avot MV for its simple installation and intuitive interface; both provides far reaching benefits to many users of different technology exposures. Everything is self-explanatory, to put it simply. Ok, where should you start? All you need to do is just pointing your mobile to Avot Mobile Site and download the client to your mobile device. Currently it supports Windows Mobile 5.0, Pocket PC, and Smartphone mobile devices; literally covers up over 70 different mobile phones.

Sigh, my Sony Ericsson w850i is not good enough to run this program, so I can only take a brief glimpse on my friend’s PDA. Hey, if you were in the same boat with me and will be using the compatible mobiles in the near future or in dire need to have a sneak peek, take a look at these 2 videos, here and here. They show you how the service looks like and how it functions.

Why should you try this out?

There are several features that will definitely lure you into trying this service.

- The quality of audio/video is exceptional because it is streamlined directly from the original content providers. Furthermore, it does not employ any video transcoding which is responsible in reducing the audio/video quality and limiting the number of videos. If you find a video with terrible quality, you will know right away it must be something wrong from the video sharing provider ends. Getting this fact right is important because you know where the problem is rooting from and you know how to deal with it (get alternative video with superb quality!).

- Special technology to overcome network latency and bandwidth limitations is also used on the patented codec to allow seamless streaming videos and this technology will definitely enhance your experience with Avot MV. Besides, the codec also understands multiple file types from multiple video sharing sites (content providers). It means the number of videos listed from your query is larger than you might imagine.

- Avot mV works globally across all EDGE, 3G carriers and EV-DO data networks and Wi-Fi with current preview on Windows Mobile phones. The support for other phones will be released in the next few months.

- The solution lets user to organize the web videos systematically in the playlist and unlimited number of playlists can be created and added on the fly.
