In todays business market an online presence is absolutely neccessary to the success of any new business. It has become the norm rather than the exception to be able to access information about the services or product any business sell/provides directly from their website. Without this ability a business will be at a major disadvantage or worse a business could simply be handing their customers over to the competition. The term global economy accurately dipicts this business/website relationship. A decade ago it wasn't possible to simply find/purchase any product that exists. You used to have to find a store which offered the product you were looking for through research, knowing someone, a mail order catalog, etc. Today all it takes is a few finger taps on a keyboard and a couple clicks of a mouse, and if the product exists you can buy it. The younger generation can't even imagine what it was like before the Internet. For some of us "older folk" it's becoming harder and harder to remember. And that's not because of our age it's simply because so much has changed so quickly. The Internet has gone from a mode of entertainment for those rich enough to afford a fancy $2000 computer, to a standard fixture in just about every home in the world (not unlike the radio or television).
So what does this mean? Well it's simple it means that a new type of industry has emerged which is as critical to todays businesses as the telephone company. This new industry would be Website Hosting and the businesses I'm speaking of would be the Website Hosting Providers. And that is what this section of WebBuilderBlog.com is dedicated to.

If you know even the slightest bit about websites and web hosting I know that by now you've heard about Virtual Private Servers or Virtual Dedicated Servers and how they are changing websites and website hosting. I also know that if you are at all up on IT you've heard about the wonderful advantages of Virtualization which can be used to seperate the hardware from the operating system in an effort to make software more hardware independent.
And what about Windows Vista? Will it catch on like XP? Will the bugs be ironed out and will there be widespread acceptance in the computer industry? To be honest I don't think we really have much of choice. Most PC's are sold with Vista right now. Sure you can re-install your XP disk or even move to an open source operating system like Linux but in reality I don't see people doing that. For the majority of people using Vista won't really make much of a difference. It has a web browser and it's capable of running an office productivity suite. What else do people really do on a computer? Sure some of us play PC games (and those will probably be the last operating system hold-outs since I know for a fact Vista's gaming performance is sub-par).
Yes indeed it will be a very interesting year....
