Before you choose a web hosting service provider who is perfect for all of your needs, you may not need to do any research at all. Just log on to the web and look around. Within minutes, you’ll find a ton of hosting providers eager to make you their customer. Some of them even offer free web space to go along with the deal! Really – Webmasters have it easy when it comes to opting for a web space.

But be honest with yourself – Without doing any real web hosting comparisons, do you think you would be able to find the right web host for your website? You need to understand that a website is a long term asset, it is important for you to find the right web hosting provider to call your cyber-home. The best way to do this is simply compare the same features across different web hosts, to understand which web host will work for you.

The message is this – It’s Important to Compare!

While comparing web hosting providers, here are some key things you should take into consideration

• How much web space do they offer – Really, all that you want to know from your web host,is how much web space or disk space can they offer you. This is not to say that a web host offering more space is better, but at the same time, this is a good place to start with.

• What are the Language, Operating System and Database Support they offer – It is time to get a bit technical here and understand what the support is provided by the web host. Some web hosts who offer Linux hosting web services would focus on supporting PHP-MYSQL, WORDPRESS, JOOMLA and other such applications, while a Windows based Web Hosting service would offer .NET applications support.

• How is their customer support and what is their service up time – Service up time is often a concept that is played around with a lot, by web hosting service providers. Most of them promise a 99% service up time, but often ignore the time taken in maintenance activities.

• Finally, the role played by the customer support team in helping you manage your web space is important to understand. Let’s face it – In dealing with a web host, there are only some things you can control. For all others, the customer support team should come in handy.

These should ideally be the points you should think of, when you get to compare web hosting service providers.  But again – These would only come into play when you get to compare them.

Hostgator is a great web hosting provider.  I’ve been using them for almost two years now, and I absolutely love them.  If I ever have a problem with one of my websites, they get me back in business fast.   I used to use Godaddy who was terrible for hosting a website.  My site was slow to respond, tech support was untrained and I would often wait on hold for way too long.  Don’t get me wrong, I love Godaddy as a domain registrar.  They are great, but for web hosting, Hostgator is where I run my business and they have taken good care of me.

Hostgator has great technical support too, super fast response, and plenty of bandwidth to  run any website you can throw at them.

Hostgator, like many other web hosting providers, uses cPanel as a way for their customers to self maintain their web sites.  cPanel is a software application that is designed to make maintaining a running a website very easy.  It is very powerful and lets you do a lot with  your web site.

How to Create an Addon Website Using Hostgator cPanel

The main thing most people use cPanel for is to install new websites and setup wordpress.   Adding a new website with cPanel is called an Addon domain.  To add a new addon website using cpanel following these steps:

I really don’t like article spinners.  They are all pretty much junk in my opinion.   Manually creating the code or syntax within most spinner software is a pain, it’s confusing, and hurts my brain.  All are junk except for one.  The Best Spinner.   This is one of my favorite tools for writing content. It really does a fantastic job of creating unique articles out of pre-written content.

But I have to tell you …  The Best Spinner just got better.

The Best Spinner now has a built in Article Directory!

In the latest software update (v1.79) from Jon Leger, he now includes a built-in article directory with The Best Spinner.  One problem with it is that it’s brand new and there isn’t a lot of content uploaded.  The good news for you is,  if you get your articles uploaded, a whole lot of people will be seeing it and using it.  And the deal is, you can use the articles and spin the articles all you want but the links MUST stay in tact.  That means EVEN MORE unique content pointed back to your web site blog and more back links!  Jon is a genius.

The articles in the directory are screened by hand by real people to ensure they are of excellent quality.

You can submit articles to the article directory right from within The Best Spinner or pull free articles into The Best Spinner to be spun and added to your site or blog.

So check it out.  Upload your content and get some free back links going to your web sites.  Or download free content to be spun and submit it to your own article dircectory or blog.  Either way, The Best Spinner is the bestest!

I’ve been putting off writing this review to let some of the hype die down a bit.   If your email box is anything like mine, last week it was lit up with everyone talking about TheBestSpinner from Jon Leger.  Today I want to tell you guys my experience with this article spinning/writing tool and if it’s worth the annual $47/year recurring cost.

Created 40 articles in under an hour!

The first time I used TheBestSpinner, straight out of the zip file, I was able to take 2 articles in two separate niches and spin them both into 20 articles each.  I did this in the space of about an hour for the whole thing.  Each article was spun to about a 70% unique state which is fantastic.

The interface of TheBestSpinner is very easy to use. You simply paste in your article text, tell it to identify all synonyms, and from there you can begin the very easy process of creating the spinning syntax (a fancy word for code) that will alow you to generate all of your newly spun articles.

Personally I hate spinning, the syntax gets confusing, it hurts my brain, I just don’t like to do it!

Normally, creating by hand all of the nested “or” statements is really a pain in the butt to do, but TheBestSpinner does all of this for you.  It does this on the fly.  All of the needed spinning syntax is created for you, ready to be  pasted into your favorite article submitting software.

The true power of TheBestSpinner however, lies in the back end database full of user contributed synonyms built from everyone else using the product.  As users of TheBestSpinner add their own synonyms to the collective database, these alternative words and phrases are available for your to use in your articles.  This allows you to create very unique articles super fast.

One of my favorite features of TheBestSpinner is the “Replace Everyone’s Favorites”.  Using this feature, you can replace the words or phrases in your article using those in the collective database from everyone else who uses the tool with the push of a button.  You can choose the quality level of the replacement, (good, better, best) but this also will effect how unique your spun articles will be – Best is less unique, Good is more unique.

So the big question is – “Is TheBestSpinner really the best spinner?”

The short answer is absolutely.  TheBestSpinner is not the complete answer to article re-writing.  It is still a good idea to paraphrase sentences or paragraphs to give your articles your own personal flair as well as uniqueness.  I also don’t like the annual recurring cost of the product.  You know that this time next year, anyone who still uses the product, will have an unknown bill come out of their paypal account because they forgot about the purchase.  I’d like to see a monthly recurring cost model instead.

Overall, TheBestSpinner is a fantastic product that should definitely be in your bag of tricks for publishing good content to the web.  At least worth a try at only $7 bucks.  Just remember, if you stop using the prodcut, cancel your subscription or you’ll find yourself out the $77 annual fee next year.

Side Note  – A Quick Take on Scribe.

Right now as I write this article I’m using another new plug-in called Scribe.  It’s in beta and is brand spanking new.  So far it looks really cool.

Scribe is an SEO optimizer for your blog, that plugs into WordPress and analyzes your articles to ensure each one is search engine optimized for the keywords you are intending to target.

Lately, the folks at Scribe have been going through some technical issues with their internet provider which in turn is causing issues with people using the plugin.  They are working through these issues and I will be writing another post on Scribe later.  So far I like it a lot.  But we shall see…

The SERPs are the true test. I’ll write more later
