Is twitter a good way of marketing?
Published (2009-11-10 19:08:00)
Sometimes it is worth doing. I use twitter. But don't get many customers from it. Its good to be on twitter though. When I search my company name in google my twitter page is on the first page so I guess it is good for a bit of SEO.

I have seen proxies that run on $20 vps's bring in about $80 a month, so I would say a larger one should be getting close to $200? most of them use multi domains though to increase traffic.

Hey, <<We have>> been using twitter for quite some time. We have built a medium size list of followers. However I spend time doing this as it is free marketing, but nothing really comes of it. Is it really worth doing? If so, whats the best way of doing it?

No... there is no such thing as 100% uptime. Depending on the quality of the cloud system you are on, it may come close though.

Absolutely. Especially here. Many users come onto WHT and search through reviews and feedback about hosting companies. Many also check out the offers forums as well.

IMO the BBB is kinda useless in a way. Heck I'm surprised these complaints made it through, when I file a complaint it just gets thrown in the trash.

I would recommend solusVM. Its person friendly although every vps you sell you have to buy a new license, so then you have to charge more and your vps could get on the pricey side. Its perhaps best to use a VPS Control panel which allows say 50 vps per license.

Hello,
If you have a interesting site where clients or users can share ideas and dicuss just about anhythng related, then its a great idea. Any fourm can be a success, but you have to work at it, its constant work to moderate it and manage it. Always some updates or tweaks and setting changes/adds. Its very fun and can draw alot of people, if you want to try it for free try phpbb.com, if ou ...

1. It depends on it's use but generally it can help make things more simply. However, you will still need to do things manually in order to ensure security, stability, etc...
2. Don’t really have any recommendations; however, as recommended, read the TOS of any server company to ensure what “fully managed” actually entitles.
3. Just need a bit more clarification on this question? Do you...

Well honestly most good affiliates are good customers. Customers who will reffer a friend. If you have a strong customer base like that I recommend buying www.idevaffiliate.com and doing your own affiliate system in house. The link I provided is one i've used for several years it is very customizable and works with paypal idx!

I personally am not a fan of RVSkins in particular as I prefer the cPanel themes and/or Plesk which are clean-style and easy to use. I think the whole hype around this is because of most web hosts offering it today with their packages. However the RVSite builder, I like

I think something along the lines of "you got ripped off" would suffice.
In all honesty - tell them what you said here. Ultimately they have no right to invoice you for them contracting a third party.

There is wmtransfer.com (a daughter service of webmoney.ru - exUSSR biggest payment service). Customers pay the fee during the payment process, you do not pay a cent.
But im also looking for something like paypal there customer would pay the transaction fee.
Thanks.

Have a look at http://www.gaebler.com/LLC-Advantages.htm which describes the advantages of registering your company as a LLC. For the most part, you as the business owner won't be liable for any damages caused by your business, this would now be your business' responsibility and you don't have to worry about your personal assets being targeted if ever this occurs.

I've noticed a few posts over time of people claiming so and so is absolutely the worst company they have dealt with on quite a few forums now.. so my question is what is stopping company x from smearing company y with forum posts (even hosting with the company and intentionally breaking things).
