Aug 4th, 2010 | By Dee | Category: Newbie Boot Camp You’re starting out and one of the first things you’ll be sorting out is finding a place for all your projects to live. For most of us this means finding some hosting and a domain name.

Mar 26th, 2010 | By Dee | Category: Newbie Boot Camp, Techie Time What are dedicated servers? A dedicated server is not someone who is attentive to you in a restaurant. When you hear the term “dedicated servers” online it usually refers to the type of web hosting provider for a website.

Spending money on a pre-made site or traffic - You would be mortified if you knew how many THOUSANDS of affiliates I manage who have been basically hoodwinked into buying a ‘pre-fab’ or ‘cookie cutter’ pharmacy site that looks EXACTLY like *THOUSANDS* of others.
