Domain name: Why a domain name is so important to a companies image
|
|
| Your company domain name not only directs people to your website, it also gives a professional image to your company, for instance: Dave Jones has a company called Suits You Sir and his email address is davejones@suitsyousir.co.uk which looks very professional. Bob Turner however has a company called Suits For You and his email address is bobturner123@btinternet.com Dave gives the impression that he is a professional outfit, whilst Bob on the other hand gives the impression that he could be knocking up outfits from his garden shed. |

| NGN Numbers: Why a business number should be Non Geographical |
|
| Have you ever had to move premises only to be told that you could not take your telephone numbers with you? you know... the numbers that are all over your stationary, the ones all your customers and suppliers have. The same ones that are plastered all over your company vehicles and also happen to be on all your business cards. Well it does happen!! That is why you should consider non geographical numbers such as 0845's. They are customer friendly as they are a local call charge no matter where in the UK they call from. They also allow you to move anywhere in the UK and still maintain your numbers. |

| Fax-to-email service: Benefits of fax-to-email |
|
| Fax-to-email is an inbound fax service that delivers fax to a designated email address opposed to a fax machine. This saves on such things as paper, toners and even the cost of the fax machine itself. Fax-to-email delivers faxes to a designated email account, it also reduces the risk of faxes being misplaced, thrown away, or read by an inappropriate recipient. |

| ADSL: What is ADSL? |
|
| Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. ADSL is the most common broadband connection because it transforms your everyday analogue phone line into a permanent, always-on high speed connection. ADSL also allows you to continue to use your phone/fax line as you normally would, along with the Internet at the same time. Another advantage of ADSL is that there are no dial-up charges either!
The term broadband essentially means high speed Internet. Broadband allows you to download music, videos, and large files very quickly therefore improving your online experience. A good way to think of broadband in comparison with dial-up is this : imagine you have two hoses: one thin, one fat. the fat hose is broadband, and is more efficient because more water can travel through the pipe. Think of broadband the same way, the only difference is more data comes down the pipe(or your phone line) instead. |

| Hosting: What is hosting? |
|
| For a web site to be made available on the Internet, it has to be hosted on a web server. This is where web hosting comes in. Web hosting is a service that provides individuals, organisations and users with online systems for storing information, images, videos, or any content accessible via the web. |
|
| Dedicated Server Hosting: More expensive solution but more control of the server |
|
| Dedicated server is the one where you rent the use of a whole machine. This can be used to host one or more of your websites. Since you are renting the use of a machine, you have total control over what software will be installed on the machine. A major benefit of this kind of hosting is that this allows increased traffic to your sites. You could alternatively co-locate your own server at the hosts datacentre who can look after it for you. |
|
| Data back-up: A total necessity to businesses |
|
No one wants to think about it, but the truth is EVERY company that relies on storing data needs an adequate contingency plan in place!
Data information is the bloodline of your business and needs to be backed up regularly. Unlike your office or your computer itself, your computer files cannot be replaced, yet without them you have No business!
