Cheap Web Hosting for $3 a Month

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

Finding quality web hosting from a web hosting company has solid servers is not always that easy. There have some hosting companies come along in the last few years that provide cheap hosting for under $4 a month.

Here is one worth using. I’ve used them and they’ve been solid. You get all the bells and whistles for $3 bucks a month. They’re called In Motion Hosting.

OK friends….here is my donation page

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

I’ve had allot of people ask to pay me for various little tasks that I can do for them, and they always ask to pay me “my fee”.

I prefer that people pay me what they can afford, and let them decide what they think my services are worth. This way, I can also get a handle on what “folks are willing to pay”.

Furthermore, I want to thank all friends, family, and business associates who I have been blessed to know and work with. Paypal donation button is below.

If you don’t have a Paypal account yet, you can use a credit card, or create a Paypal account. I recommend getting a Paypal account, as it’s a handy way to make payments online.  


Google’s Document & Spreadsheet Service

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Google’s new beta service for documents and spreadsheets has been invaluable for me so far. I’ve been uploading Excel workbooks (spreadsheets) and updating them on a daily basis. As usual I was late to realize Google even had this service…..

After my first three years of running our online business I found that I was feeling a great deal of anxiety whenever we had low income days, months, and even hours. I’ve had very little experience running any kind of business and therefore I never understood the importance of tracking. In the last year I have been slowly moving toward tracking income and costs using an Excel workbook but Excel seemed like a complicated piece of software. After I caught on to creating Excel sheets I was surprised to see how easy it is. Anyway, once I had my spreadsheet completed I went looking for a way to run Excel online or on one of my websites.

I searched online for Php and Cgi scripts that would give me the ability to run Excel on my site. The search was long and tedious and I found a few sites that provided a way I could run Excel on their server and their site. The prices ranged greatly from a monthly fee of a few hundred dollars up to expensive setup costs as high as $15,000 USD. Obviously some of these web service providers are catering to larger companies with larger budgets than mine.

Eventually I came across the Beta program with Google which allows you to simply upload an Excel workbook and manage it going forward. I find that editing Excel workbooks online in my Google account is easier than editing Excel on my PC. There are some helpful buttons and applications for “Excel dummies”. Finding formulas is really easy with the drop down menu they provide.

Try it! It’s FREE!
