So, you decided to host your domain or website on the World Wide Web. Good, do you know how to China Custom Packaging Tin Cans Factory decide on the best web-hosting package? Let me help you with a few guiding points to make a good and informed decision. There are a great number of factors in choosing and I am going to describe each very briefly:

1.Reliability of the server and Uptime 2.Traffic Transfer or Bandwidth 3.Disk or storage space 4.Technical or service support 5.Add-ons capacity Reliability of the servers and Uptime: The servers of the web host should be reliable and should have a continuous uptime of a minimum 99.5%. The server reliability translates into the availability of your website on the net. If someone tries to access your site and they get 'server not found? message too many times, they will shift their business elsewhere. A good web host will guarantee 99.8% uptime round the clock 7 days a week.

Traffic Transfer or Bandwidth: Traffic transfer or bandwidth refers to the capacity of the web host to accommodate simultaneous access to your website. This is measured by the bytes number (amount) transferred by your site when web surfers access your site on the web. All web hosts will charge for this service and there is no such thing as 'limitless bandwidth?. It is good if you can find out the details before hand so as to avoid bad surprises with high bills for data transfer. A simple website will be comfortable with about 50 GB to 100GB.

Disk or storage space: As important as the traffic transfer size, is the disk or storage space. Similarly, you should look out for a minimum 200 MB. Many web hosts will and can offer you larger disk / storage spaces, which is absolutely fine. However, keep in mind that even if you are a totally professional site you may not need more than 5000 MB. So, a realistic move is to aim at 200?1000 MB as disk/storage space.

Technical support: Look for history of the web host and find out their approach and time of rectification of different problems that can crop up with the server and sites. All web hosting entities will assure you of round-the-clock service seven-days-a-week. However, very few really function this way. It is very important to have a good service support so as to have an interrupted access to your site. Be careful of free services and false assurances in this field as it can destroy your business with lack of proper support.

Add-ons capacity: You should be able, unless you prefer otherwise, toadd, update, and delete things in your website yourself. The most normal of these things would be managing your email, passwords and creating different accounts. There are more advanced features with the control panel of the host, which could allow you to add or delete extra items on your website directly. You should find out the amount of liberty your host can extend to you.

In case you are planning to run a business complete with financial transactions, order forms, you will need additional services like secure server for credit card encrypting and the like.Other plus points are email auto-responders, mail forward, re-routing, and multiple accesses. This would ensure that your negotiations cover all bases.

High definition DVD, also known as HD-DVD (which actually stands for custom tin can High Density DVD), is one of two competing high definition storage format - the other being Blu-ray.

The need for a new, high capacity storage format, has been primarily brought about by the rapid rise in popularity of HDTV in Japan and the US. HDTV has much higher bandwidth than either NTSC or regular DVD discs, so in order to record programs from HD- DVD higher capacity discs, of at least 30GB, are required.

High definition video is also being used increasingly to make Hollywood movies as it offers comparable quality to film at much less cost. Therefore, the studios plan to release future movies on one or both high definition formats.

HD-DVD was developed by Toshiba and NEC and has the support of the DVD Forum, along with a number of Hollywood studios. Currently those studios which have announced support for HD-DVD are; Universal Studios, Paramount Studios, Warner Bros., and New Line Cinema. It has a capacity of 15GB for single-sided discs and 30Gb for double-sided. It doesn't need a caddy or cartridge and the cover layer is the same thickness as current DVD discs, 0.6mm. The numerical aperture of the optical pick-up head is also the same as DVD, 0.65mm.

Because of its similarities to current DVD, high definition DVD is cheaper to manufacture than Blu-ray, because it doesn't need big changes in the production line set-up. Both HD-DVD and Blu-ray have backward compatibility with existing DVDV discs. That is that current DVDs will play in HD-DVD player, although new high definition DVD won't play inolder DVD players.

High definition DVD currently supports a number of compression formats, including MPEG-2, VC1 (based on Microsoft's Windows Media 9), and H.264 which is based on MPEG-4 and will be supported by the next version of Apple's QuickTime software, which will be included with Mac OS X Tiger.

Who wouldn't like just a little more space? Not all of us can pack up and move or Metal Rubbish Bin add an addition to our home, but we can use what we have a little more efficiently. We can go treasure hunting for extra inches of unused space. Maximizing space is all about seeing what you have and making the most out of it.

Pare DownDo you really need two toasters or the ugly vase that was a gift? A more important question to ask is can you afford to waste space on them? When you purge items that are unused, broken, or unneeded, it just feels good. I am not saying it is easy. On the contrary, sometimes letting go can be a very emotional experience. But when it is all over and you can open a cabinet not ducking for fear of being crushed, it will all be worth it.

Take InventoryThis may not seem like a very important step, but knowing what you actually have (versus what you think you have) can be very helpful in choosing the rest of the pieces for your home. For instance, if you discovered that you have a collection of great pottery, you will know what kind of furniture to buy or have built. It may even give you direction for a color scheme or style. Be realistic about how much space you will need to store those items properly (one small shelf is not enough space to store 47 sets of sheets!)

Built- in StorageCustomized exactly to the space, built in cabinetry allows every inch to be used. It can be a little pricey, but the end product is often worth the investment. Cabinets are common in built ins because they allow hidden storage for unsightly clutter. Shelving can add room for display pieces. Another clever built in storage piece is the bench with storage underneath. It does double duty providing a place to sit as well as hidden storage.

To ensure a perfect fit take inventory of the items you plan to store and measure them before having custom pieces made.Budget StorageIf custom built in cabinetry is not in the budget, don't despair! There are a lot of off the shelf items that can work too. A standard size bookcase can work in any room of your home. In the kitchen, it can store every thing from dishes to cookbooks. With the addition of baskets, it can store unsightly items like food and pans while still offering a clean look. In the bedroom it can hold the obvious books, but it can look really crisp with neatly folded linens or clothing.

Other problem solving furniture pieces are dressers and armoires. We think of them only for holding clothing or televisions, but they would work equally well for kitchen or bathroom items. You can also find ready made benches with storage underneath that can work everywhere from a dining room, bedroom, or entry hall. Coffee tables, end tables, and nightstands with drawers or shelves can be surprisingly helpful at taming clutter.Life can be chaotic so simplifying and maximizing your living space is a breathe of fresh air. It is more than finding a placeto put your stuff, it allows you to focus on important things in life.

Enjoying wine depends on storing and serving. Being successful in entertaining depends on the wine storage. Optimal flavor comes from the basics of time and place.If you don't have a wine cellar, try storing wine in a closet. A closet usually maintains an even temperature and is safe for storing wine.

The wrong elements for wine are extreme temperature variation and sunlight. A cool dark place is where unopened wine should be stored. Between 45ºF and 65ºF is the temperature that most wines should be stored at before opening.When storing the wine, be sure and store it on its side so that the cork remains moist.

This keeps the cork from cracking or breaking when opened. Storing opened wine, red or white, can be done for 2 - 3 days in the refrigerator and with a vacuum wine sealer it can be stored for several days.Showing proper wine serving etiquette is one way to impress your guests. By serving excellent wine with a little style will help set the mood for any type of entertaining. By removing white wine from the refrigerator China Custom Packaging Tin Cans Factory about half an hour before serving it will be slightly chilled. By the time it is served it will have reached a good serving temperature.

Red wines are best when slightly below room temperatures, not chilled. Take the bottle of red wine that is room temperature and put it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving. This will impress your guests and supply an atmosphere for any type of entertaining. Tasting of the wine is another step to learn. To be a pro, there are five different tests to tasting wine.Checking to make sure the wine is clear, with no sediments or some particles, like cork.

Small amount of cork is acceptable. Pick up the glass by the stem, holding up to a white light or background gives you a clear view of the wine. Colors for white wine are pale yellow to amber gold and for red wines colors are from purple to brick red with colors in-between. The intensity of the color will sometimes show due to a heavier body.Aromas of the wine make the tasting experience another important step. Swirling the glass in small circles releases the aromas.

Hold the glass to your nose and smell after swirling the glass for a few seconds. White wines are filled with aromas of floral, citrus and tropical fruit. Berry, dried fruit and spice are red wine aromas.The human tongue can only taste sweet, sour, salty, butter and savory. While swirling wine in your mouth, inhale air in your mouth, as if doing it through a straw and this will create more flavors of taste. Fruit, floral or spice flavors will capture your taste just as they did your smell.Wine has a weight or body and white wines are light bodied with medium to full bodies being the reds.

This is where the taste test comes in by taking a sip of wine and tells yourself how it feels in your mouth. Is it light feel or is it a rounder feel due to the fuller body? After you swallow the wine do you have a lingering feeling that remains in your mouth? This can be a fairly short feeling or quite a long feeling. This called the finish.A wine that will stand out to you and leave an impression on you mentally will have appearance, aromas, taste, body and finish. It will also have balance.

Everyone is looking for a better way to do business, save money and be 'greener' to help save the planet. Not many have started looking at their existing storage room of archives as a way to meet all of the above business goals.I'm talking about companies that must maintain China Custom Packaging Tin Cans Factory the physical copy of a record for a given amount of time before it can be destroyed.

A common issue with an internal document storage solution is that it takes a dedicated employee to maintain the status of each and every record.With a professional offsite document storage solution it allows your business to reallocate that employees time to more revenue generating tasks.

Because now all of your documents are in a secure location, each individual record has been tagged and entered in to a database with directions as to how long to store it as well as a destruction date.By shredding documents as they have met the legal storage requirement you are doing your part in minimizing the amount of paper being stored

AND a professional document storage company will not only shred each document in to paper pulp, they will also make sure it is recycled!How do you save money with this option?Remember the employee that use to have to maintain your records? Well now they are working on tasks that bring in revenue as well as you have opened up a rather large section of office space that can now be put to work as well, or even let go of if the space is not usable as office space.In metro areas space can be very expensive, and going outside of the city can be cheaper per square foot.

Unfortunately the savings gets eaten up with the installation of security, fire proofing and the employee now having to drive across town to manage documents.By using a professional document storage facility all of these requirements are in place and the cost is shared by everyone storing documents. Again, you will not have to task the employee with driving out of town to pick up a needed archived record. Make sure you find a record warehouse facility that provides an online system for requesting a document and can either e-mail you a digital version or hand deliver the document to your office.

How is document storage a better way to do business?Simple, it's more efficient and right off the bat you are working smarter instead of harder. Document warehousing is far less expensive than converting every document in to a digital format, and sometime that is not a legal option anyway.Implementing a professional document storage company is by far the cheapest way to rest assured every document is safe, secure and only being kept as long as required. If your company has a 'go green' campaign in place you can see how offsite storage with a reputable company will be an integral part of that strategy moving forward.

Moving is always a time of transition. This is especially true when that transition involves moving to a place with less storage space. It might be a place with fewer bedrooms, the loss of a basement or custom tin ashtray attic, or more people living without more room. Whatever the cause, you might be faced with self storage requirements.Save yourself time, stress and money on your self storage/ mini storage needs with the tips in this article.Self Storage:

The Basic Steps1. Identify the size of the self storage unit you'll need and how long you'll need it.2. Make a "Self Storage Feature List" of the features you'll need (climate control, security, location, 24 hour access)3. Develop a list of potential self storage locations.4. Visit top self storage locations and compare them against5. Make your final choice and sign the contract.Self Storage Step 1: Identify the size of the self storage unit you'll need and how long you'll need it.Just to point out the obvious, you'll save money and time by putting fewer, smaller items into self storage.

That means you're better off doing one or more of the following with excess items:• Sell them at a moving sale.• Donate them to charities such as Goodwill, The Salvation Army or The Purple Heart.• Give them away to people who can use them now and value them.• Store them with family or friends IF it's for a very brief time and they're willing.Once you've eliminated what you can, it's time to figure out how much space you'll need. Self storage units vary from one location to another, but here are some basic sizes and guidelines, adapted from "The Storage Place Inc" website:• 5' x 5': holds a small number of boxes or small bedroom furniture.• 5' x 10': holds a few pieces of furniture, including a couch.• 10' x 10': holds the contents of a small, one-bedroom apartment.• 10' x 15': holds the contents of a small, two-bedroom apartment.• 10' x 20':

holds the contents of a small, two-bedroom house or a small car.• 10' x 25': holds the contents of a larger, two-bedroom house or a larger car.• 10' x 30': holds the contents of a three-bedroom house, or the contents of a 36-foot moving van.• 10' x 40': holds the contents of a four-bedroom house.Use this list to narrow down the size of space you'll use.Self Storage Step 2: Make a "Self Storage Feature List."After deciding on the size of self storage unit you'll need, to identify what features you want to go with it. Think of it as a "shopping list" for comparing self storage units.It's a good idea to break down the features into 3 categories based on how important they are to you:* A - Absolute musts. If a self-storage unit does not have this feature, you won't consider it.* B - Better to have than not. These are features that would be plusses, but not required.

C - Couldn't care less. As the name would imply, these features may exist, but don't really matter to your decision.Here is our list to help you get started:• convenient location• climate control• 24-hour direct access• monitored security cameras• security guards on premise• sprinkler system• alarm system• insurance available• payment methods acceptedSelf Storage Step 3: Develop a list of potential self storage facilities.Now that you know what you're loking for, it's time to begin the search process. You can kick off the process by investigating five of the most popular self storage companies:•

Public Storage• U-Haul (yes, the same company that offers truck rentals)• ExtraSpace Storage• United Stor-All• U-Store-ItCheck your self storage candidates against the Self Storage Feature List that you created earlier. Any facilities that are missing "A - Absolute must" features should becrossed off.Self Storage Step 4: Visit top self storage locations and compare them against one another.Yes, I realize that actually taking the time to visit each of your top choices isn't convenient. However, there are things you will discover by visiting that you wouldn't otherwise:• How does the location look?•

Does the neighborhood seem stable?• Is the facility as easy to reach as you imagined?• What's the condition of the existing storage units?• Does the place seem well-maintained?Take notes at each facility and clearly mark which property you're visiting. Eliminate from your list any of the locations that seem sketchy.Self Storage Step 5: Make your final choice and sign the contract.If you've followed all the previous steps in this article, this final step should be relatively easy.
