Part 1.

Ever wondered how to choose good web hosting, well let’s
see if I can point you in the right direction with a few things
that you should consider.

With deals starting at $2.99 per month, you must be sure
that you are getting what you need, both now and in the
future. Remember what you need now could be a different
story six months from now!

So you want web hosting for your home site for friends and
family to keep in touch and put some photos on, then a
basic package will do you fine as long as it helps you with
uploading your site via FTP and maybe some free web site
design software.

However if you run a business or are into internet
marketing then you need something completly different,
and if you plan to have adsense sites then you need to be
careful how you choose!

Here is what you want as as minimum from your web
hosting:-

500MB of disc space
10GB of monthly traffic allowance
Unlimited pop3/smtp email
Unlimited auto responders
Unlimited Mysql data bases
PHP
Unlimited sub-domains
MS front page support
Web site traffic stats
Your own cgi bin
Web based control panel
Password protect directories
Java/JavApplets
Web site building software

And a good amount of ready to install scripts, so you can
set up a Blog in minutes, or set up Ecommerce so you can
sell your product online.

Now if you are unfamiliar with any of the terms above don’t
worry I am not trying to blind you with the tech stuff, just
trust me as your online presence grows you will need all of
the above at some point and some!

To give just one example Data Base’s(Mysql), if you go with
a real cheap host say $2.99 per month you will get 1 Mysql
data base, fine if you only need one, but what if you need
10. You will find that you have to pay for the other 9 and
this can add up on it’s own, if you need even more addons
to your $2.99 Package can become $14.99 per month
package!

Some companies will offer you a cheap web hosting
package just so they can upsell you at a later date, don’t
get caught out by this as they can be very difficult when
you ask them to change your DNS (domain name servers).

Always make sure you can change your own DNS when
registering your domain name, that way you can move your
web hosting account at will if you are not satisfied with your
web hosting provider.

Make no mistake about it, you only get what you pay for
with web hosting. For example another thing that some
web hosting providers do is load their servers heavily with
accounts so they can get the most money out of each
server they have. This is ok, but as the server ages it get’s
slower just like your home PC it gets Full and things take
time to load, it’s just the same with a server but when it
Crashes your site goes down!

In conclusion it’s upto you what you choose, just make sure
it’s what you need….send them an email, and see how long
it take’s them to get back to you with a concise reply. It will
normally reflect how quickly they will get back to you with a
support request!

See you in part two, where we will cover it step by step.

On a final note, if it looks too good to be true then it
probably is!

An online Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree can be acquired in several nursing specialties such as public health and school health. The degree prepares nurses for various roles in clinics and educational establishments. They can move into administrative and managerial roles quite smoothly. An MSN program deals with advanced nursing practices and encourages entrepreneurial activities. You can work as a nurse researcher, a director of parish nursing programs, director of health agencies and many other high level job opportunities open up for you.

A Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree is required for an MSN course. A good grade in the BSN degree will mean that you may not be required to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). A professional letter of recommendation and graduate and undergraduate certificates need to be produced at the time of application. You will be assigned a site for clinical practice that is convenient for you. In some courses, you may be charged a separate fee for the clinical practice. A fully online MSN course will have you learning via the internet, there may be some recommended reading that you can do if you so wish. You will be put under the stewardship of an experienced faculty who will guide you through the learning process. Online chats and discussions are the main avenues of information sharing in an online MSN program.

There are a few things that you should ascertain about your school before you enroll for its online MSN program. The university should be fully accredited by NLNAC and CCNE. Check the options available for financial aid and whether you are eligible for any fee waivers. Universities offer special tuition plans for companies and institutions that it partners. Understand the program objectives stated by the university and compare them with your expectations from an MSN course. An MSN program can have upward of ten required courses and one elective course.

Premier upscale shopping in the Cambelback corridor

As the sixth largest city in the United States, Phoenix has always been a major destination for both Americans and foreign tourists. For starters, it is the largest state capital in the country; at over 3 million people, its population is even larger than Washington D.C.. Phoenix is also home to some of the best entertainment in the southwest: in the Navajo language, it is known as Hoodzo, often translated in a modern context as ‘this place is hot’. But perhaps most excitingly, it is home to one of the most important landmarks of America’s favourite passtimes: shopping.


The famous Biltmore Fashion Park is perhaps the most conveniently located shopping center in Arizona: at the confluence of Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, it is an essential stop-off site for all tourists in the area. It is also one of America’s premier luxury shopping destinations, boasting more than seventy boutiques and stores, including: Cartier, Escada, Gucci, Ralph Lauren, and Apple Computers, as well as a variety of shops completely unique to Phoenix. It possesses a diverse and high quality range of restaurants, including The Cheesecake Factory, California Pizza Kitchen and Steamer’s Genuine Seafood.


As one of the south-west’s most exclusive shopping destinations, the Biltmore Fashion Park has always tried to offer its guests a distinctive shopping experience: for instance, every week it hosts a live jazz night, as well as live ESPN broadcasts and regular children’s events. It also offers its customers an electronic service that provides all registered customers with a weekly newsletter, keeping them up to date with all the latest deals and exclusive offers. By registering for specific stores and restaurants, customers will receive a weekly bulletin that allows them to view special offers before they decide to shop. It also offers gift-guide and gift-reminder services as well as a special section for out of town visitors.


However, after more than forty years at the center of entertainment and fashion in Arizona, 2006 saw the emergence of a plan for redevelopment. At the center of this is a new architectural design, which will be characterised by distinctive open outdoor spaces and a redesigned pedestrian area, which aims to transform its existing streetscape and ease its flow of traffic. These plans seem to promise an even better service from one of America’s premier shopping destinations. The beauty of Biltmore Fashion Park is that a walk through its fantastic gardens, landscaped sidewalks and attractive fountains will be enough to restore your sanity after a hectic day’s shopping; these gardens alone are worth a visit, even if shopping is not on your agenda. A nearby attraction is the legendary Waldorf Astoria Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa. Often considered to be one of the most spectacular of its kind in the world, is it sometimes referred to as “the jewel in the desert” and has been a favourite destination of a variety of celebrities, from Fred Astaire to Michael J Fox, and every American president since its opening since 1929.

Finding the Bottom of the Current Real Estate Market

The last five to seven years have seen a real estate boom unmatched in history. The boom has cooled off which means dropping prices and buying opportunities.

Finding the Bottom of the Current Real Estate Market

When considering real estate, historical lessons should be strongly analyzed and followed. In the current market, we are coming out of a boom period in which prices are inflated beyond the reasonable, objective value of most homes. As the boom cools off, we are seeing prices begin to drop. Ironically, this situation occurred roughly 20 years ago and provides us with evidence of the buying opportunities to come.

In the late 1980s, the real estate market became saturated. When I say saturated, I means flooded. Both homes and commercial properties sat on markets for months and even years. Prices dropped like a stone in a lake. In one case, a real estate investor friend of mine picked up a home in Los Angeles that had dropped from a price of $650,000 to $380,000. When prices rebounded through the 90s and went nuts in the early part of this decade, he saw the value of the property more than quadruple what he paid. Many suspect such a situation is about to repeat.

If you are considering buying a home, you might want to start analyzing the market. More than likely, you will find that property values are dropping in your area. If you are patient, you can wait till prices bottom out and pick up incredible deals. When prices rebound in the next few years, you should see tremendous gains on your investment and really clean up. So, how do you do it?

One way to watch a market is to identify homes you are interested in that fall in different price categories. Try to identify 20 or so homes. Create a log of the homes, when they came on the market and their initial selling price. Each week, keep track of the status of the homes. Did any sell? Did any drop their asking price? The idea is to look for trends that include it taking longer to sell and asking prices going down. If you see these results, sit and wait. Just watch the prices fall. Eventually, you will see the prices flatten out. You have found the bottom of the market. It is now time to buy.

Timing a market as above can be a bit or hit and miss situation. There is always a chance your local market may not deflate even though national trends suggest as much. If you do not see a definitive downward trend in prices, you may want to skip this entire strategy and simply buy now. Even if you buy at the top of the market, you should see price recovery over the next five years.

Which Loan is best to Use

When you decide to take loan then the most important question arises that which loan is best for you. As there are so many forms of loans but choice is always yours. If you are in need to borrow some money then you must go for a personal loan. It has been observed that mostly people take a personal loan for home improvements, to purchase a car and for holidays. Loans are very simple you borrow a sum of money and pay it back over a period of time say anywhere between 6months to 10 years.

Interest rates on a personal loan are usually at a fixed rate for the lifetime of the loan, this is great, as you know your repayment every month. In the past most people went to their bank for loans, but know the competition is really heating up. Now Internet, TV and newspaper offer some great deals for personal loan and also provide a lot of information about this loan. There has never been a better time to pick up a personal loan, as all the lenders are looking for your business.

TYPES OF LOANS:
As we all know about all types of loans but two very important types are discussed as under:

SECURED
Basically this loan secured your home but you could lose your home if you are unable to make the reimbursement. This loan is usually secured by your home which means if you fail to make the repayments, you could lose your home. On the up side secured loans do offer cheaper interest rates; if you decide to take a secured loan please make doubly sure you can afford your repayments.

UNSECURE
Basically this loan means that your home is protected if you unable to pay back your loan. This loan means your home is safe if you fail to pay back your loan, you’ll find it hard to get any more credit, as your credit rating would be poor. Interest rates are usually higher with an unsecured loan as the lender is taking a higher risk in getting their money back.

Loans are much like mortgages if interest of loan is paid regularly it is automatically decreases. One thing to watch out for is if you pay off your loan earlier than agreed you could face penalties. You could be asked to pay back the interest for two or three months, not all companies charge this so best check. PPI mean payment protection insurance and most of the loan companies offer you PPI they will tell you that you need it, and that if you’re off sick, have an accident or become unemployed they will help to pay your repayments. This is not always the case so please check with your lender as you could end up costing yourself a lot of money, and get nothing back if the unthinkable happened.

Secured – you put your home at risk if you fail to keep up the repayments, but the interest rates are much cheaper.
Unsecured – you’ll get a bad credit rating if you fail to keep up the repayments, but the interest rates are much higher.
So a Secured or Unsecured personal loan which one is best is up to you! The two of them really as it all depends on your circumstances.

Considering Purchasing a Foreclosure

 Uncategorized  Comments Off on Considering Purchasing a Foreclosure

You have seen the advertisements promising you can make out like a bandit by purchasing foreclosed properties. Well, maybe you can and maybe you cannot.

Considering Purchasing a Foreclosure

Foreclosed properties are almost always a result of mortgage problems. When applying for a mortgage, you make a promise to the lender that in exchange for a boatload of money, you will do certain things. These things include making your monthly payment, paying your property taxes and maintaining insurance on the home so the lender can recover their investment if they property burns to the grown and so on. If you fail to meet your obligations during the term of the loan, the bank can then foreclose on it and sell it off to recovery the amount it lent you. In some states, the bank can even come after you for any shortfall between the amount the home is sold off for and the amount you owe on the loan.

One person’s problems are, of course, another person’s opportunity. In the case of foreclosures, buyers often immediately think they can get a deal on the property sitting on the bank’s books. Banks, after all, do not want to own the property. They are in the business of lending money, not homeownership. So, can you get a great deal on foreclosures? The answer is yes and no.

In some cases, you can get absolute steals when buying foreclosed properties. In others, it can be an absolute nightmare. The primary issues that arise having nothing to do with the physical nature of the property. Instead, the problems that arise have to do with why the foreclosure occurred.

The original owner obviously must have had some serious financial problems if they lost the home. The important thing to understand is many of these problems are affixed to the home, not the previous owner. If you buy the home, you buy the problems. For example, the home may be in foreclosure because of tax liens or delinquent property tax debts. If you want to clear the title on the property, you need to pay these off. Yes, you. The home may also be encumbered by lawsuit judgments, which can be a horrific problem to deal with.

The point I am making is buying a foreclosure is not the simple process it may seem at first glance. You do not simply make an offer to the bank and take possession. Instead, you need to research, research, research the title and overall situation. Why did the foreclosure happen? What is the situation with title? Is the delinquent homeowner still living in the home and how do you get them out? Did the previous homeowner trash the property when moving out? The questions are endless and you need to investigate them clearly. Unless you have experience with foreclosures, you may want to retain a real estate attorney to evaluate the situation. It is better to pay a couple of thousand dollars now than get stuck with a nightmare later on.

Can foreclosures be good deals? Yes, but you must investigate them closely and thoroughly to make sure they are not financial traps.
