What is the most advantageouse way to become a web hosting service provider. erikparti@thestormmgroup.ca?
Hi

Hosting is not profitable if your running the entirse infastructure by yourself. So what I did was I took a brandable service from a company called www.netandhost.com. I selected a pay as you go model which was cost effective and I didnt have to invest more. You get the a online interface to fully brand your service. You also get s sign up interface which you can give to your customers. By this you can start recving payments online and all service of your customers are activated instantly. So this means you can concentrate more on your sales. Your end users can be given with a control panel by which they can manage anything without contacting you support. You can also integrate a payment gateway in mins. All services can be activated online by yourself and your customers thru web. The company remains totally anonymous. You also get a anonymous free nameserver or if you pay little more you also get your own name server. So the general idea is

1. You invest very less and start your sale

2. You pay as you grow

3. You concentrate on your sales

4. You get more product lines. I believe they are adding around 30 brandable products in near future

5. You can compete with very large providers from day one.

What is the best web site host (best bang for a buck) for a small online business just getting off the ground?
I would say that there are many variables to consider. What features do you seek? What is your budget? You need to find one that suits you. I would suggest that you take a look at several before making a decision. First compare feature by feature then dollar for dollar. That will ensure that you get the %26quot;best bang for a/your buck%26quot;. You can take a look at the one that I use for comparison. http://www.tobuildyour.com

Reply:I鈥檓 going to start by saying that MLM is not going to be for everyone. I have become very lucky and will love to show everyone here how to make money at it鈥he easy way. Below, I have a list of Different MLM projects that make money and will continue making money as long as you want. With this being said let me list them here.

鈥?Global Domains International

鈥?Dream Team Formula

Short list right, well it is. There aren鈥檛 very many MLM systems out there that make you money. Most make the person or persons who started the system money. I have found that through careful investigation and lots of lost money that these are the best and I think that everyone should give them a shot.

As for the first one, Global Domains International, it just happens to be one of the fastest growing companies on the web today. It makes you money before you pay any money. As long as you make it, if you work the system like they say鈥ou will make money.

I鈥檓 going to show you in an outline how to do this. Step by step, all you have to do is follow my outline and you will make money in less than 1 week with these two systems. Let me explain in more detail exactly what Global Domains International and The Dream Team Formula are. Global Domains International is a company that sells and hosts domains. You can get a domain through them for ten bucks per month. Why not go with Godaddy right, well that is what I asked when I first seen this program. Go Daddy you can purchase a ws domain and the Go Daddy will get the commission. That is why they are so cheap. You don鈥檛 get anything from the, as long as you pay your monthly fee, Go Daddy gets paid also. Well that is one good reason why you should purchase you domain through Global Domains International and not Go Daddy.

The Dream Team Formula, it鈥檚 a new innovation in MLM. It assists you in building the best team possible. Remember if your team doesn鈥檛 succeed you don鈥檛 succeed. Its that simple, you have to motivate your team in order for them to want to make you money. After you sign up for GDI (Global Domains International), go and sign up for Dream Team Formula. Ill give you the links at the end of this article. With your membership to GDI, you get a free membership to DTF. They work side by side. It鈥檚 a great partnership.

Okay, now for the step by step instructions on how to make money with GDI and Dream Team Formula.

1. Go to www.freedom.ws/gvannorman1969/show_dvd

2. Watch the movie; it will change your life.

3. Sign up for GDI, Link is on the movie page

4. After you sign up go to http://www.dreamteamformula.com/go/gvann... and sign up

5. Invite as many people as you can to join GDI through your referral link. Use any method you can think of, except SPAM. They don鈥檛 like it and either do we.

6. It will take 10 people to pay for your monthly GDI fees. You can do this in one week.

7. Your team recruits and you get paid for their recruits. Simple system and it works as long as you work it.

Reply:It really depends what you need. You should look around a good neutral listing site, like http://www.webhostingreviewsnews.com/ . Personally, I%26#039;ve felt best value is Go Daddy, but they are harder to use. Probably best value / ease of use is Bluehost.
Reply:If you look for web hosting, don鈥檛 rush into it. Read reviews about web hosting and decide properly before going ahead with web hosting.

Is starting a SiteBuilder Web-Business a good idea?

2009-03-26T08:11:00.001-07:00

Hi all,

I am starting a hosting business that hides the user from the complexities of setting up the website backend and only providing a dedicated website builder only (based on swsoft sitebuilder)

services to include:

- domain and email setup for the user

- easy to use website builder

- full support of email and builder products

- targeted towards small/medium business that are not computer savvy

- website fully hosted

My question is, will a business like this likely generate sales enough to make the business profitable? Is the market way too saturated with businesses homestead, moonfruit, citymax, web hosters providing sitebuilders, and web designers?

Also, are there any additional services I can provide to bring in more revenue apart from custom webdesign, or banner/logo editing?

SR5k!
Is starting a SiteBuilder Web-Business a good idea?
Heck no! There are a ton of small businesses that want a low cost website to promote themselves and their services.

So, that said - you%26#039;re on the right path - and you HAVE TO MARKET YOURSELF! Have a great website for the hosting/design business and get the word out. One thing important to market w/ custom services is SEO - Search Engine Optimization - to get them high in the rankings for here Yahoo and Google. You do that by using your keywords in META tags and having good content.

The best of luck!

Once you started finished it.
Reply:depends... If you know HTML you can make a much more powerfull website than using a site-builder... witch the person doing buisness can just start doing.

and if i know right.. i dont think you can really show dynamic webpages as much as with php with a sitebuilder...
Reply:Your project is ambitious.

The market is saturated with amateurs and cheap design services.

The market is saturated with computer illiterate businesses that believe that %26quot;THE WEB%26quot; is the miracle solution for their lack of %26quot;business skills%26quot;.

The web is saturated with %26quot;personal pages%26quot; offering no interest whatsoever to anyone but the ego-trip of the owner.

Making revenue with your project?

Doubtfull, seeing the competition.

Offer a very large bandwidth server host, LAMP, on several linked PCs, directly connected to an ultra high speed fiber optic to the web and... maybe...

Offer RSS feeds (it%26#039;s the fab at the moment) and video broacast (MMMMB of bandwidth required).

Offer special hosting for porn, chats and wikies.

Offer special hosting for spammers.

You need a BIG room with loads of very fast PCs with APACHE.

Good luck.
Reply:I am a consumer of website hosting products. I currently use DiscountASP.net as my provider, but I know that there are a bunch out there competing for my website dollars.

I would not try to compete with these guys. If you are like me (low investment capital) then I would suggest becoming a VAR (Value Added Retailer). Target a market (i.e., School Websites), develop a product using the tools you like. Then you become the middle man and isolate the users from the providers (and collect a fee for your troubles).

Please be warned, this is no easy path and you will need to say good-bye to sleep for awhile, but once you get your product up, running and debugged, you may find yourself with a nice little web-based business.

Good luck!

Is starting a SiteBuilder Web-Business a good idea?
I teach a lot of small business classes and always recommend online builders to the non-technical among my students. It%26#039;s true that many have difficulty even using the simplest tools. So if you could develop a very straight-forward builder, with fairly high functionality, you may have a winner. I think the space is still evolving. Presently, I%26#039;m using SquareSpace for my blockbeta.com website. I was using Dreamweaver, but since I%26#039;m more of a marketer than a developer, I%26#039;m enjoying focusing on creating content, rather than the backend. It%26#039;s one of the best I%26#039;ve seen so far, but it still requires at least a little bit of technical knowledge. You could offer a decent tool (or license one), then offer technical and maintenance assistance as a value-add.
Is starting a SiteBuilder Web-Business a good idea?
Just from my standpoint, your business sounds like a great idea.. And I could see tons of small businesses taking advantage of it..

Now as far as the competition goes, I have no idea what your up against..
Reply:There is always a market for something like that if it is marketed in a good way.

You can also offer the purchase of Stock Images for your clients, as well as business phone numbers (redirected phone service)

This can work, just give it a go!
Reply:do not make the user build his

own web site; you build the web site

for a % of the site itself. There is

an unlimited market for that.

I will help you.

I need 6 sites myself.but I will only

offer equity in the sites, I will not

pay for their design or hosting.
Reply:If by %26quot;hides the user from the complexities of setting up the website backend%26quot; you mean you are not a geek and don%26#039;t want to learn geeky things, then you still will have a problem.

You see, setting up a website is only a small part of the battle to make money on the Internet. You MUST get people to your site. For that you will need to market - and that means learning all about site submission, pay for click ads, etc.

All successful web sales companies have a geek (or several) somewhere in their ranks - either become one or you will have to hire one (search for SEO companies).

Each account is under one domain name, for multiple domains you will have to set up a link from and to each.

PHP Form Script Needed to Install on Yahoo Webhosting Standard Account?

I have a website hosted on Yahoo Small Business Web Hosting and I need a good PHP Form Script that I can use with Dreamweaver CS3 on Apple Mac OS X.

Also, does the Dreamweaver CS3 Developer Toolkit extensions include anything like this, I already have this but have no idea how to use it? Please advise, thanks.

I haven%26#039;t had luck myself with finding a good PHP script, but you can still create the form in Dreamweaver CS3, using the Spry tools if you prefer, and link them to a perl script. The most popular one is the formail.pl script, which is well commented and easy enough to customize to your needs. This site has a good tutorial on using it: http://www.creativepro.com/story/howto/2...

Looking for tool to maintain php created website?

2009-03-26T08:07:00.001-07:00

I took on a website created in php and now hosted at yahoo. I can (and have) edit the php files to change text, but I want to redesign the tabs and other aspects of the site. Should I do sitebuilder? or someone suggested Joomlah cm? It is a pretty simple site with text info, and form (applications, enquiries) submission (no animation, no registration). For background I am not a web developer, but feel I can handle a wysiwg tool and get addl help when I need it. I have a laptop running XP. I%26#039;d prefer to stay hosted by yahoo so would like something compatible, but I am not opposed to moving hosting if need be. I did look through all the questions in small business web hosting category already, but didn%26#039;t see this specific question so I thought I%26#039;d ask in the broader audience. Any help would be appreciated!
Looking for tool to maintain php created website?
When it comes to a CMS, Drupal and Joomla are pretty neck-and-neck these days in terms of popularity. Though my vote would be for Drupal, not just for features but also elegance of design from a software engineering perspective. They just added a lot of really good new features in version 6.0 recently.

For actually working with PHP code, and having a visual tool as well, I recommend a combination of NVU and ActiveState Komodo Edit. Both are free.

How do i build a smart web site structure on Yahoo! small business?

2009-03-26T08:06:00.001-07:00

I have a site that will leverage both http and https, and is hosted on Yahoo! small business services. I want to avoid the message %26quot;this page contains sercure and nonsecure ...%26quot; when a user visits the secure section of the site.

At first glance, I figured that I could place all of the required content into a folder under %26lt;root%26gt;/ssl and everything would be just fine. However, that poses some serious content management issues.

So, if I want to only maintain content in one place, can I place all of it under %26lt;root%26gt;/ssl and be just fine? If so, how do I modify the include_path to point to something like %26lt;riit%26gt;/ssl/include vs. the standard %26lt;root%26gt;/include?

Am I missing something?

all your links to images, etc. need to be secure. If you have anything that is from an http request it will throw that message. Everythign must be https://

I purchased web hosting from Yahoo!%26#039;s small business section. I e-mailed them a question, and 1 day and a half, no reply. This is unacceptable. The average response time is 24hours, which is still, unacceptable. Is there a backlog of e-mails or something? Please, let me know.
Yahoo! Small Business?
Hi Ben,

I understand your frustration, and you%26#039;re right that a day and a half is a long time to wait for an email response. We typically are able to respond to questions much more quickly, but unfortunately, we experienced a glitch in one of our email servers this week that caused emails like yours to back up. We have fixed the problem and are working overtime to reply to all of the backed-up emails as soon as possible.

If you need an answer more quickly, you might want to just give us a call. To do that, visit our contact page: http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/contactus... Here we%26#039;ll ask you to pick the topic that matches your issue, then provide the toll-free number at which we can best help you (to speed up response time, this number is reserved for account holders only, so I won%26#039;t print it here). We should be able to resolve your issue quickly.

Thank you for your patience.

This one is for small business owners. Not web design firms please. How much would you pay for a web site?

2009-03-26T08:04:00.000-07:00

How much would you be willing to pay for a website that is more than just basic. I know you can set up a free website or design your own and host it for about 10 bucks a month. But are there small business owners who would like to have a professional website (that can handle a shopping cart and credit cards, provide search functionality, let users register on the site, etc.) but are put off since it is more complicated than what they can do on Front Page and more expensive than what they can afford to have a web design company do?
This one is for small business owners. Not web design firms please. How much would you pay for a web site?
Hard to say, because I would love to know this as well.

I could not afford $1,200 for just the design, but there are aspects that I would like.

I would like it if a company could augment what I already have and charge per item. To explain a little better, I can do the backgrounds, the titles, the links, the content, I can even provide pictures, but I would want someone who could help do more with the pictures than just rollovers.

For this, I might pay $50 to $75 - There is no design work and it is a one time fee, unless I change the pictures.

For a complete package like you are talking about - with shopping cart, I guess, a 20+ page site around $50 a page.

I personally, still could not afford it with how small my business is. It would take me moving to the next level with an actual location and a small business loan to think about it.

What you talk about is great and I am interested - visit www.inspiredtouches.com, but like I said - my payout would be limited right now.
This one is for small business owners. Not web design firms please. How much would you pay for a web site?
in U.S. it would cost 49.95 one time and 49.95 a month.
Reply:We paid $1250 for our website, although the %26quot;designer%26quot; really wasn%26#039;t a %26quot;designer%26quot;, but a tecky who knew how to program. He was kind of new at it. We definitely got our money%26#039;s worth, but take a look at our website and see if it%26#039;s close to what you want. I also got a basic on-line quote from another web designer, and it was about $1200 for the parameters I chose, however, I%26#039;m sure we wouldn%26#039;t have gotten as much as we got with the one we went with. Good luck!

Oh yea - it%26#039;s about $100/year + for hosting.
Reply:If you can afford $20 to $40 a month, you can find some good webmasters.

But I highly suggest that you go and study it your self. It%26#039;s very simple! I made my own site at http://www.iandelcarmen.com and many more other sites: http://www.digibook.ph , http://www.digibooknetwork.com , http://www.MobileEbooks.net ...

If I post all my sites here, it would consume so much space. You may just visit my site http://www.iandelcarmen.com and check it out. I made in in just 5 minutes and I learned just by reading some nice books. Contact me at Help Desk and I%26#039;ll send you some free books on this subject...

SQL, PHP or Cold Fusion - in Yahoo Small Business Hosting?

2009-03-26T08:01:00.001-07:00

I have to program several dynamic pages with self updating databases for a car dealer whose web design I do. It%26#039;s for automatically updating both new and used inventories on a nightly basis. They are hosted on Yahoo Small Business and I%26#039;m wondering if anyone has a good idea as to which server technology I should use for it.
SQL, PHP or Cold Fusion - in Yahoo Small Business Hosting?
SQL is definitely a must since that is the language you use for querying/updating your database.

Regarding the programming language, I have used Cold Fusion and PHP. I prefer PHP. For one, it is totally free while Cold Fusion is not. Second, PHP is very very easy to learn and get stared using right away. Cold Fusion (it%26#039;s been a while) had a higher learning curve. You will also find a lot of Web resources available and you can go to any bookstore and find numerous books on PHP to get started.

Checkout http://www.php.net to get started with PHP.

I don%26#039;t want to use SiteBuilder to build my site within Yahoo Small Business Hosting and need to know if I can use my own web site template that includes server side include technology (SSI) for such items as a header/footer/menus/etc.
Are server-side includes (SSI) available for Yahoo Small Business Hosting accounts?
I don%26#039;t know if they are expressly allowed but I do know for certain that at least the include file ssi tag works. however, it will garble stuff like Yahoo store-tag links so your mileage may vary.

A new kind of politics?

MEXICANS IN CHICAGO: A NEW KIND OF POLITICS

Influence on both sides of the border

Activists%26#039; political power is rising in Chicago and their homeland, as they seek reforms through marches and money

Advertisement

By Antonio Olivo and Oscar Avila

Tribune staff reporters

April 6, 2007

To outsiders, the men and women gathered inside a sleepy West Side restaurant may have seemed unlikely power brokers: a janitor, a real estate agent and others hardly known outside their circuit of neighborhood dances and back-yard barbecues.

Jose Luis Gutierrez, who plotted strategy with the group as a soccer match flickered on a nearby TV, was himself a wholesale grocer until last year.

But Gutierrez is now a top aide to Gov. Rod Blagojevich, and he was joined at the table by leaders of Chicago-area Mexican immigrant clubs, the engines behind a new political movement that is making itself felt from Illinois to Michoacan.

Gutierrez received smiling nods when he likened the political muscle of the region%26#039;s 563,000 Mexican immigrants to the power of Irish-Americans in the 19th and 20th Centuries, who came to control the Chicago machine.

In May, the strength of Mexicans will be on display when many of the region%26#039;s 300 immigrant clubs -- known as %26quot;hometown associations%26quot; -- will help organize a march in downtown Chicago a year after their political coming-out party, demonstrations that flooded the Loop last spring and charged the national immigration debate.

For decades Mexican hometown associations have functioned as social networks whose members pooled their money earned here to help build new schools or churches back in Mexico.

But leaders in Chicago%26#039;s largest immigrant group have a more ambitious worldview than their predecessors, even more than the ethnic blocs that preceded them decades ago.

Some, like Gutierrez, wield growing influence in both countries. One morning, he%26#039;s unveiling a blueprint for more immigrant services in Illinois as director of the state%26#039;s Office of New Americans Policy and Advocacy. The next night, he%26#039;s brainstorming with activists in his home state of Michoacan about a slate of candidates for Mexico%26#039;s congress.

An active role in Mexican politics might seem at odds with building political influence here. But Gutierrez and others say they form a budding new political consciousness among Mexican immigrants -- a %26quot;third nation%26quot; of sorts that transcends the border, advancing the community%26#039;s cause on both sides.

%26quot;The nation-state concept is changing,%26quot; said Gutierrez, 46, who came to Chicago in 1986 and led one of the Midwest%26#039;s largest federations of hometown associations. %26quot;You don%26#039;t have to say, `I am Mexican,%26#039; or, `I am American.%26#039; You can be a good Mexican citizen and a good American citizen and not have that be a conflict of interest. Sovereignty is flexible.%26quot;

That concept worries some U.S. officials and scholars who see the dual loyalty as undermining the assimilation of Mexican immigrants.

Irish, German and Polish immigrants eventually melded into Chicago%26#039;s landscape, their ties to their native soil largely sentimental. But Mexican immigrants today are linked to their homeland like no group before, scholars say, connected by NAFTA, satellite TV, the Internet, cell phones and cheap non-stop flights.

In Mexico, their power stems from the nearly $25 billion these immigrants send home every year, the country%26#039;s second-highest source of income behind oil.

Their political influence surfaces in places like Teloloapan, far up in the cactus-filled hills of the state of Guerrero, where a Chicago restaurateur helped build new roads and business. Grateful townspeople elected him mayor in a landslide.

In the U.S., immigrants%26#039; power is driven by numbers and a growing deftness at the levers of this country%26#039;s political machinery. That recently manifested itself in a fledgling political action committee called Mexicans for Political Progress, which raised $23,000 for Blagojevich%26#039;s re-election and rallied volunteers to walk precincts during November%26#039;s election.

An unfolding movement

Fabian Morales, a soft-spoken Realtor with a well-clipped mustache, stands at the center of the unfolding movement. He handled logistics for three massive immigration marches in Chicago last year -- including a four-day walk to suburban Batavia -- and co-founded Mexicans for Political Progress.

After coming to Chicago in 1970, Morales helped launch one of the city%26#039;s then-few hometown clubs, devoted to his tiny native village of Xonacatla, Guerrero.

Back then, Xonacatla was without roads, potable water or electricity. It was a slow journey from other towns by foot or horseback, Morales said. The club members in Chicago resolved to change that.

Collecting $50 to $100 at a time, Morales and others raised enough through barbecues and door-to-door soliciting to replace a house used for worship services with a towering marble church that rises from the green hillside.

Morales has since helped develop CONFEMEX, an umbrella organization for most of the hometown clubs in the Midwest. Among other things, the group is a central voice in economic development in Mexico, representing an estimated $340 million in projects generated by U.S.-based hometown associations in the last five years, according to Mexican federal officials.

%26quot;We want to focus on creating more jobs there so they don%26#039;t have to think about emigrating,%26quot; Morales said.

The rising activity of hometown associations caught the eye of the Mexican government, which eventually created a %26quot;3-for-1%26quot; matching project, where federal, state and local governments split the cost of a new bridge or computer center with the U.S.-based groups.

Those projects have given Mexican immigrants %26quot;a great moral authority%26quot; in their homeland, as well as political cachet, said Carlos Gonzalez, executive director of the Institute for Mexicans in the Exterior, or IME, a Mexican federal government agency that fosters stronger ties with expatriates.

%26quot;During the 1970s, [Mexicans] called the people who left Mexico and acclimated to the U.S. %26#039;pocho,%26#039; which, if you look in the dictionary, means %26#039;spoiled fruit,%26#039;

%26quot; Gonzalez said. %26quot;The change we%26#039;ve seen in the public perception of Mexicans in the exterior has been 180 degrees.%26quot;

In 2006, citizens abroad were allowed to vote in Mexican presidential elections for the first time. Leaders are also pushing for changes that would allow expatriates to vote in local elections and even hold elective offices while residing abroad.

Recently, Gutierrez and others persuaded Michoacan to become the first state in Mexico to extend voting rights to expatriates. Their rationale: Almost half of those born in Michoacan, Zacatecas and several other Mexican states now live in the U.S.

Timoteo %26quot;Alex%26quot; Manjarrez, 44, is among a small but growing number of Mexican immigrants making a bolder claim in their motherland.

Arriving from his native town of Teloloapan, Guerrero, in 1980, Manjarrez spent 19 years in Chicago. The stocky, boyish-looking immigrant worked for years as a dishwasher at the Columbia Yacht Club and, eventually, became owner of three Mexican restaurants in the city.

Fulfilling a desire shared by many immigrants, Manjarrez moved back to his native town in 1999 with enough money for his family to live comfortably.

But the place he had longed for all those years was still frustratingly poor, despite the investments Manjarrez%26#039;s hometown club made in new roads and other improvements.

Manjarrez, who holds both Mexican and U.S. citizenship, settled in and quickly built a new health club and a hacienda-style restaurant named La Condesa, after the three he still owns in Chicago.

In 2004, he ran for mayor of Teloloapan. With long-distance backing from his hometown club friends in Chicago, who sent money and telephoned friends and local officials on his behalf, Manjarrez won handily.

%26#039;The city that works%26#039;

Since taking office, the man who sees Mayor Richard M. Daley as a political role model has pushed to remake Teloloapan into a Mexican version of %26quot;the city that works.%26quot;

The effort includes newly paved streets, a recreation center that replaces a local swamp known as %26quot;black waters,%26quot; and a towering hotel being built privately by Manjarrez%26#039;s family.

Next to a new medical clinic, a donated Chicago ambulance sits in the parking lot. Its emblem has been painted over, but it serves as a reminder of the continued links Manjarrez has to his former city, where he maintains a home near Midway Airport, votes in U.S. elections and checks in on his businesses.

Aurelio Santamaria Bahena, mayor of a town near Manjarrez%26#039;s called Tlapehuala, labeled such changes %26quot;a blessing%26quot; for an area of Mexico dominated by crumbling lean-to houses and children in bare feet pulling bone-thin donkeys.

But, as with other parts of the country where the immigrant handprint is deepening, the introduction of U.S.-style governance has also bred resentment.

Local leaders of Manjarrez%26#039;s own Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) are trying to drum him out of office, arguing he is too brash and condescending. The mayor counters the fight is about his efforts to take away %26quot;a plate of corruption that they%26#039;ve been able to eat from for years.%26quot;

The conflict was an uncomfortable backdrop during a recent PRD strategy meeting at a restaurant in Chilpancingo, Guerrero%26#039;s capital. Headlines that morning featured a march against Manjarrez, orchestrated by his opponents.

%26quot;People see you as an outsider,%26quot; a worried Santamaria cautioned Manjarrez. %26quot;People don%26#039;t think you see things as they are here.%26quot;

Manjarrez, wearing a black %26quot;La Condesa%26quot; windbreaker, patted his friend on the back and smiled. He had a media plan, one that might have made Daley proud.

%26quot;We%26#039;ll publish photos of the streets of Teloloapan before and after I came into office,%26quot; Manjarrez said. %26quot;And, we%26#039;ll ask the people: `Which would you prefer?%26#039;

%26quot;

That same week, Mexican immigrants from the U.S. and Canada met in Mexico City, as members of an advisory council created by the Mexican government.

With a brash American style, they soon escalated their advice to demands, the members%26#039; voices echoing through the meeting hall.

Morales, the Chicago Realtor, and about 100 other council members pushed Mexico to lobby the U.S. harder on immigration reform. They chastised their hosts for not creating more jobs. Buttonholing federal legislators in hallways, they reminded elected officials how much their districts relied on money sent from the U.S.

They want %26#039;results now%26#039;

Gregorio Luke, a blond member of the council from Los Angeles partial to designer suits, observed that this kind of behavior wouldn%26#039;t exist in a purely Mexican forum, where deference toward authority guides nearly all dialogue.

%26quot;These people come here speaking Spanish, but they%26#039;re negotiating as Americans,%26quot; said Luke, a museum director who once oversaw cultural affairs at the Los Angeles Mexican Consulate. %26quot;They want to see results now.%26quot;

The meeting of the advisory council also illustrated the provocative overlap of Mexican and American political action.

In addition to all-day strategy sessions on how to improve Mexico, council members brainstormed over late-night drinks on next moves in the fight for U.S. immigration reform. Many members had used their existing e-mail network to coordinate simultaneous demonstrations in Chicago, Los Angeles and other cities.

Though not active participants in the U.S. immigrant movement, Mexican officials urged their compatriots to keep on fighting.

%26quot;Let there be no barriers or walls between Mexicans here on the inside and the outside,%26quot; former Mexican President Vicente Fox told the group, referring to a 2006 U.S. law that allows for a 700-mile fence to be built at the border. The audience stood and cheered.

The idea that the Mexican government might be helping its nationals shape U.S. politics has raised red flags, both in the halls of academia and in the more volatile world of talk radio and the Internet.

Robert Leiken, director of the immigration and national security program at the right-leaning Nixon Center in Washington, argued that binational activism among Mexican immigrants is bad for both countries. In the U.S., the meetings in Spanish and the often-passionate interest in Mexico%26#039;s future hinder assimilation, he said.

In Mexico, the relationship to hometown associations fosters an unhealthy economic dependence on U.S. remittances.

%26quot;If I went out to Pilsen and spent some time with people from a hometown association, I%26#039;d think these are really cool people,%26quot; Leiken said. But, %26quot;Standing back and looking at this from a social policy standpoint, I see some real problems.%26quot;

James McCann, a Purdue University political science professor, found that immigrants interested in Mexican affairs were more likely to participate in U.S. politics. He helped interview about 1,100 Mexican immigrants and found that hometown clubs promoted activism.

%26quot;The conventional wisdom is that any transnational engagement is going to suck the oxygen out of your civic life in the States,%26quot; McCann said. %26quot;But it seems that if you open a new avenue of expression in Mexico, that new avenue might pay some other dividends in the U.S.%26quot;

Some of those dividends went directly to the Blagojevich campaign last fall, when the governor found himself being serenaded by a trumpet-playing mariachi band inside the Hacienda Tecalitlan restaurant on the Near Northwest Side.

Near a trickling courtyard fountain, Morales praised the governor in Spanish at the kickoff dinner for the Mexicans for Political Progress PAC. While Morales once raised money for his hometown with $1 tamales, the price here was as much as $500 a plate.

%26quot;Let us demonstrate our political power by voting in the election, by voting for our friends interested in the prosperity of Mexicans. Friends like Gov. Rod Blagojevich!%26quot; Morales told the crowd.

Blagojevich, who speaks a hint of Spanish, took the microphone and shouted: %26quot;Viva Chivas!%26quot; a reference to a popular Mexican soccer team.

When the laughter and applause subsided, he switched to English and added: %26quot;By organizing, you are empowering a community. Your voice will be heard.%26quot;

The mood is darker in northwest suburban Carpentersville, where a growing Mexican community has rallied in large numbers in the face of a local backlash against undocumented immigrants.

Last fall, about 3,000 Mexican immigrants and their supporters turned up outside Carpentersville%26#039;s City Hall in an unexpected show of opposition to a proposed ordinance that would penalize landlords who rent to illegal immigrants and employers who hire them. The crowd was so riled a vote on the ordinance was postponed and has yet to be taken.

The quick response came largely due to the hometown association representing the village of La Purisima, Michoacan, local activists said. The club turned to its telephone list of 400 families, said Salvador Balleno, the group%26#039;s president.

The turnout was a victory, but it has not deterred Carpentersville trustees from other proposals that would allow local police to trigger deportation proceedings against illegal immigrants and make English the village%26#039;s official language.

And as Balleno has struggled to register voters and rally volunteers for this month%26#039;s village elections, even sympathetic politicians have seemed hesitant to link themselves too closely with the hometown association. Balleno now fears the village%26#039;s hard-liners have the upper hand, intimidating some of the immigrants who protested last fall.

%26quot;The [club] members know that if these people stay [in office] it is going to affect their kids,%26quot; Balleno said, sounding anxious that an opportunity was slipping through his fingers.

Jose Artemio Arreola, a key organizer of next month%26#039;s march in Chicago, has been actively monitoring the battle in Carpentersville.

He sees the activity there as part of a plan to create a political empire for Mexican immigrants, one linking hometown associations in Chicago and other cities to labor unions and Mexico%26#039;s congress.

His strategy includes moving back to his native state of Michoacan to run for congress there, something Arreola never imagined doing when he left a town overrun by poverty and ruled by local drug kingpins.

He got his start in Chicago working in a plastics factory. Frustrated by the union representation there, he ran for shop steward and won. Unable to speak English, he relied on his bilingual co-workers to help him negotiate union contracts.

He has since become a school janitor in Oak Park. The position pays little, but it has allowed Arreola to climb the ranks of the Service Employees International Union, where he has become key in that union%26#039;s national efforts to tap further into the country%26#039;s exploding Mexican immigrant workforce.

All the while, Arreola has used the sharp elbows and old-school union tactics acquired in Chicago to become a power broker in his hometown of Acuitzio del Canje.

He started in 2004 when the local mayor refused to back projects proposed by his hometown association. Arreola, a burly backslapper partial to gold neck chains, recalled thinking: %26quot;I need to take them out.%26quot;

He recruited a teacher to run for mayor in the Mexican town. Arreola then brought back a town phone book and, with others in Chicago, called voters one by one, promising a stream of U.S. investment if his candidate won. The incumbent opted for traditional rallies and car tours through town with a bullhorn.

More than two years later, sitting in a Pilsen restaurant, Arreola opened a laptop computer and showed off the fruits of what proved to be an easy victory. Pictures of a new retirement home popped onto the screen, one featuring a grinning Arreola at a groundbreaking ceremony.

Another showed a new computer lab with 40 computers for local schoolchildren, an investment in the future of Acuitzio del Canje.

The town%26#039;s name comes from an 1865 decision to make it the site for a %26quot;canje,%26quot; or exchange of prisoners between warring Mexican and French troops.

Sitting deep in the dusty mountains of Michoacan, it was neutral ground back then, Arreola explained, territory that didn%26#039;t fully belong to either country but, in some ways, belonged to both.

Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc. (Nasdaq: HAYZ) today reported financial results for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2007. The results were in line with preliminary results announced on March 16, 2007 and with guidance the Company provided to investors in December 2006.

For the fiscal year, the automotive and commercial highway wheels and components maker reported sales of $2.06 billion, up 5.1% from sales of $1.96 billion in the prior fiscal year. Earnings from operations were $4.8 million for fiscal 2006, compared with a year earlier loss from operations of $215.2 million, which included $185.5 million of goodwill impairment charges. Capital expenditures for the fiscal year were $80.8 million, down from $95.2 million a year earlier. The foregoing results exclude the suspension components business reported as discontinued operations, which had sales of $230 million, a loss from operations of $46.0 million and capital expenditures of $9.1 million.

The Company reported a net loss of $166.9 million for fiscal 2006, compared to a net loss of $457.5 million for fiscal 2005. The Company reported a loss from continuing operations of $120.9 million, compared with a loss from continuing operations of $287.1 million a year earlier.

Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2006 (including the suspension components business) was $188.6 million, up 7.3% from $175.7 million a year earlier. For the full fiscal year, Hayes Lemmerz reported free cash flow of negative $9.1 million, excluding the impact of the Company%26#039;s securitization program, an improvement of $71.6 million from a year earlier.

%26quot;Hayes Lemmerz is a much stronger company today than it was five years ago,%26quot; said Curtis Clawson, President, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Hayes Lemmerz.

%26quot;We have significantly decreased our dependence on U.S. markets, and continue to grow our international business, especially in Asia. By divesting non-core businesses and focusing on high growth/high return markets, we are continuing to execute our strategic business plan and our drive toward profitability and positive free cash flow. Sales to GM, Ford and Chrysler in the U.S., excluding discontinued operations, now account for only about 18% of global sales. Given the extremely difficult conditions in our marketplace, our results for 2006 are encouraging.%26quot;

As previously announced, as part of its continuing profit-enhancing initiatives, the Company completed the sale of two aluminum suspension components plants in February 2007. %26quot;These divestitures further reduce our dependence on the North American automotive market and free us from a very capital-intensive business,%26quot; said Mr. Clawson.

%26quot;Our new business wins point the way toward our future. We won over $575 million in annualized sales in 2006, of which 75% is international business,%26quot; Mr. Clawson said. %26quot;We continue to win with Japanese and Korean manufacturers, including Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan and Honda, both in the U.S. and internationally. We continue to win new business with our European partners, and in the U.S. markets our new business wins diversify our product mix with more crossover and passenger vehicles,%26quot; he said.

As previously announced, the Company锟絪 board of directors has approved a rights offering for existing shareholders, for up to $180 million of common stock. Proceeds will be used to repurchase the Company锟絪 10.5% Senior Notes. The offering must be approved by shareholders at a special meeting scheduled for May 4, 2007. %26quot;By raising new equity capital and retiring high-cost debt, we are de-leveraging, strengthening our balance sheet and significantly improving free cash flow,%26quot; Mr. Clawson commented.

For the full fiscal year 2007, Hayes Lemmerz expects to achieve sales of about $2.1 billion, Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $195 to $205 million, positive free cash flow (excluding securitization impact) and capital expenditures of approximately $85 to $90 million.

Conference Call

Hayes Lemmerz will host a telephone conference call to discuss the Company%26#039;s full fiscal year 2006 financial results this morning, at 10:00 a.m. (ET).

To participate by phone, please dial 10 minutes prior to the call: (888) 295-5935 from the United States and Canada; (706) 758-0212 from outside the United States. Callers should ask to be connected to Hayes Lemmerz earnings conference call, Conference ID # 2107451. The conference call will be accompanied by a slide presentation, which can be accessed through the Company%26#039;s web site, in the Investor Kit presentations section at http://www.hayes-lemmerz.com/investor_ki...

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOW

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

EBITDA, a measure used by management to measure operating performance, is defined as earnings from operations plus depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude asset impairment losses and other restructuring charges, reorganization items and other items. Management references these non-GAAP financial measures frequently in its decision making because they provide supplemental information that facilitates internal comparisons to historical operating performance of prior periods and external comparisons to competitors锟?historical operating performance. Institutional investors generally look to Adjusted EBITDA in measuring performance, among other things. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate quantification of planned business activities and enhance subsequent follow-up with comparisons of actual to planned Adjusted EBITDA. Free cash flow is defined as cash from operating activities minus capital expenditures plus cash from discontinued operations and the sale of assets. Management uses free cash flow to identify the amount of cash available to meet debt amortization requirements, pay dividends to stockholders or make corporate investments.

Can you understand this???? please help???
If your using this 10K to determine if you want to invest, there are a few signs that point to yes. First Ebitda(Earnings before interst,taxes,depretiation and amoritization) this companies EBITDA rose 7.3% vs last year (It means they are making money). Also it looks as if there was some restructuring going on since there was some loss there. However this could be good for the investor, with less capital expenditure in the future. Everything else is basically fluff.

Original (I think) website idea, what now?

2009-03-26T07:58:00.001-07:00

I think I have an original idea for a website business. I don%26#039;t really know where to go with it next though.

How can I:-

A. Ensure that it is original (I%26#039;ve searched all over the web and can%26#039;t find it anywhere else)

B. Ensure nobody rips me off

My plan was to host a website with this business idea on a small scale.. would this make it my idea to own, or could somebody legally just copy it and use it on a bigger scale?

And also.. if I have just missed the fact that somebody else has already thought of and implemented this idea, I%26#039;m guessing I could be sued so how can I be 100% sure this doesn%26#039;t happen.
Original (I think) website idea, what now?
I can help with the what now. You can take your website idea to a web host like the one found at http://www.tobuildyour.com and they will assist you in designing your website around your ideas and help you to get targeted traffic to your site. You can get your website copyrighted. I am not sure how to ensure that your idea is original. I would assume that if your idea is original to you and that you can%26#039;t find it anywhere on the web then you are probably safe to get it started. I would suggest that you search for a professional that can register your idea. Upon registration process you should find whether or not the idea has been taken. I hope this helps you to get going on building your dreams. I am looking forward to seeing you and your website idea on the net. Keep me/us posted.

BEST WISHES %26amp; HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Original (I think) website idea, what now?
If someone else is already operating a similar site they can request you take your site down. If they have a patent on the site then the can sue you if you fail to take your site down.

They need to ask first though.
Reply:u have to have a patent for it to make sure it is unique .....check with patent body....alot of people register thier ideas but never implement it ....
Reply:Is it possible to copyright a website? I don%26#039;t think so. By definition anything placed on the web is in the public domain. The obvious exceptions being copyrighted material that is placed there.

Since there is no way to legally protect a website you need not be concerned with being sued. Sadly, you need not worry about being ripped off, because if it is a good idea that will indeed happen.

If your idea is truly unique, and if the website is actually going to be a marketing bonanza, then the only way to protect your %26quot;ownership,%26quot; of the idea is to mail yourself a letter describing in detail what you are proposing to do. Send the letter either via registered or certified mail, with a signature receipt required. At least this will establish the date that you had the idea.

Arthur C. Clarke, of science fiction fame, invented the Geo-synchronous communication satellite. Robert A. Heinlein, also of science fiction fame, invented the water bed. Both of these authors described their ideas in detail. Neither ever received a single copper coin for royalties or other payment.

Good luck. I look forward to seeing the new website. And, for what it is worth, I promise to not rip it off. Not capable of doing so actually.
Reply:I think you鈥檒l be OK.

You could be sued for infringing copyright if your site used components taken from another site. But as long as the design, text %26amp; images are yours you鈥檒l be OK.

As for the core idea, I doubt it can be patented. As a for example someone must have been the first to come up with the idea of Internet dating sites. But today there are 100鈥檚 of them all operating more or less in the same way.

Only if you are selling a novel and new product could you patent that, to stop people stealing it. But you can鈥檛 patent the idea of selling it via the web.

This does mean you could find copy-cat sites springing up, and you wouldn鈥檛 be able to do much about them. Particularly if based on other countries.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Reply:Keep the idea secret for as long as possible. Speak to a solicitor and get your basic idea documented and time stamped and kept in a safe. There is generally no real sure proof way of protecting an internet idea. Look at last minute.com and the immediate growth of copy cat sites. Generally if someone attempts to sue you then let them try. It will cost them a fortune. Time stamping your idea with a solicitor, magistrate or JOP will at least prove when you had your idea.

If someone else is doing the same thing then look on the brightside, at least now you know it is a viable proposition. Given the huge numbers of internet users, at least two of you are bound to have the same idea. Just do it and see what happens. if you have a genuinley viable idea, then your competition will most likley buy you out rather than attempt suing you. It%26#039;s cheaper that way!!!

Best of luck

How do I sue?

2009-03-26T07:58:00.000-07:00

Long story short - I develop web applications, and someone stole my code and is hosting is as their own.

He has access to all my ASP pages, as well as my entire database - content, structure, everything.

I contacted a lawyer, and they wanted WAY too much money - I am a small home based business with little to no resources.

Can I take this to court and represent myself? How do I do so?
How do I sue?
I would contact your local FBI Office. The FBI can most likely help you out with this, they deal with alot of that online fraud stuff. Get them on the phone, ask what they can do, then if they can do something, that person that stole your codes will get a nice ride to jail, and charged with Internet Fraud, which is a major offence nowadays, and punishable by alot of years in prison.
How do I sue?
Check with Legal Aid in your city and also with Federal Burea of Investigation and report it.

What are the requirements for mailing lists with PHP MySQL?

2009-03-26T07:57:00.001-07:00

I have a few small time clients for my web-publishing side business. I would like to offer them email lists for newsletters and such. I want to know if it is possible to have the email address that is part of their domain send out mass emailings to those who have signed up. I have a basic understanding of PHP and MySQL. I think there is a way to do this, but I do not know. Ideally, they would be able to edit the content themselves and then the PHP and MySQL would take care of the HTML in the emails, and the server that hosts the site would actually send the emails, so that they do not need to do it from their computers.

I am currently using GoDaddy for all my server/domain/mail/database needs. Do I need anything I do not already have? I just need a simple explanation of where to start, and how all the various applications work together to create and send out the emails.

Starting a used car website?

2009-03-26T07:56:00.000-07:00

I would like to start a website for my small used car business. I am good with computers and fluent with HTML, although I also use frontpage as a crutch. Does anyone know where I can find a place to host my website. Also, I would need to be able to come up with my own web address. Cheaper the better for now, and if they specialize in small businesses that would be even better! Thanks.

Building a company website question?

2009-03-26T07:55:00.000-07:00

My husband and I are starting a small business. We have a domain name and are looking for a good host. I know a little about web design and would like to have the flexibility to insert my own backgrounds, pics, etc. We may need to be able to have an option in the future for our customers to pay invoices online via credit card, etc. We are looking for something affordable and would prefer a free trial. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you!
Building a company website question?
You could build your website from your home computer, then get a web hosting account for about $5 a month from limeserver.com (They usually offer a 30day money back guarantee). You could then upload the website onto the server. Doing things like inserting your own background and pictures can be done when you are building your website. If you want your customers to pay for services through your website, then I would recommend integrating online payment tools from an online payment services like paypal or 2checkout into your website. The online payment company would handle all your company%26#039;s card transactions. This would be a cheaper option.

Or I could help you do everything, even build the site for an affordable price.

You could contact me at turnkeymaker@hotmail.com
Building a company website question?
I love the option of PhotoShow.com under Star for their Deluxe package. This gives me the options to download close up pictures set to music on eBay. The start up fees for packages are upfront.

The downside to this: It takes allot of time to download the pictures unless your on high speed. I spent 12 hours on just putting my presentation together for a wedding dress and still no bidders! Even though, I logged on with the most attractive Ad does not mean you will make the sell.

A Lesson learned. I do like the graphics and my family loves my videos. It interfaces nicely with EBay keep the video short people don%26#039;t like to see long films and just know after the video ends it kick them off line. Upsetting to some. I am trying to work that glitch out.

Try http://www.terapad.com - can%26#039;t get much more bargain than free! For small businesses its quite good, you have to pay $5 a month to remove the ads, but you get all the features of a business website, CMS, Web Pages, Shop, Forums, News, and easy integration with Google Analytics if you want to track your success. You can fully customise your layout as well, because Terapad allows you full access to your CSS. Worth a try .... Good luck :-)

You can also look at www1and1.com
Reply:Why don%26#039;t you check out http://www.godaddy.com web hosting. Also you can use PayPal to make your credit card sales. My wife does that and it%26#039;s cheaper than setting up a merchants accout to accept cards. PayPal accepts 4 different cards and your customers do not have to have a PayPal account to buy from you.

Once you get your site up you need to build inbound links.

Most of the directories online charge a one time fee to review your site and add it to their index. Here are three of my favorites:

http://www.avivadirectory.com/cgi-bin/af...

http://www.kahmer.com

The more inbound links to your site, the better you will rank

with Yahoo / Google / MSN.

Also work on your meta tags. Here is an

article on how they work: http://www.richkahmer.com/meta-tags.html

You get more credits for posting in the forums and giving your referral link to your friends and by getting more credits, you get more privileges to your website, like more space and more bandwidth.

Looking for free MySQL host?

2009-03-26T07:53:00.001-07:00

I would like to find a free web server with around 250+ MB of free space on which I can host a MySQL database that will be accessed from our small business with MS Access.

Does anyone know of a suitable candidate.

Thanks in advance
Looking for free MySQL host?
If you are serious about websites either for personal or your business, don%26#039;t go to free web hosting as they are usually not reliable and you may end up losing all your hard work. Free web hosts usually put advertisements on your websites and it could be annoying.

If you like to create websites (usually you will end up more than 1 website, I got more than 100 websites in about 6 months%26#039; time), go for multiple web hosting services where you could host all your websites in one account.

I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent.

Hostmonster http://www.hostmonster.com/track/ryukend...

They offer hosting of %26quot;unlimited domains%26quot; and you will get massive webspace of 300000 MB (300 GB ). They only charge $5.95/month and they offer %26quot;a free Domain Name%26quot; and installing service called %26quot;Fantastico%26quot;. By using Fantastico, you could create own forum, photo gallery, shopping cart (e-commerce),your own auction site and your own blogs within few seconds. They also offer %26quot;Free Website Builder%26quot; as well.

Visit the site to check details.

Hostmonster http://www.hostmonster.com/track/ryukend...

Following site is quite good to register domains as price is reasonable with free privacy. Some charge about $5/ year just for free privacy.

Looking for free MySQL host?
Why not install MySQL in your own computer, and use it as a host? Run IIS or Apache Tomcat (both of which are free), and MySQL (free download also) and create your own web server. It is not very hard to do, and the Internet is full of ideas on how to do this.

Making own WebHosting Server??

2009-03-26T07:53:00.000-07:00

Is there a way to create my own webserver to host websites?

I know many companies offering %26#039;virtual servers%26#039;, but I am thinking if there is a way that I can buy another PC and convert it into web server???

Appreciate if anyone can give me some tips, or redirect me to information website? I have a small business, but I am fed up with hosting services as very often websites are not accessible, I can work on it because control panel link is slow etc etc.

Thanks folks!
Making own WebHosting Server??
yes, you can. Get a dedicated computer. put a web server on it like apache(http://www.apache.org). You will probably want linux(www.linux.org) because its fast,safe,and secure. Then get a domain name from a registrar set its dns to the public dns server(http://soa.granitecanyon.com/). Then set the records there to point to the ip address of your web server(get this from your ISP, you will have to pay a price for a static IP. You will also need knowledge of BIND). Then wait 24 hours to synchronize.

You should get computer people to do it for you.

You will also want a T1 connection if you expect a lot of hits.
Making own WebHosting Server??
Sure. An inexpensive way is to run a free distribution of LINUX on the old box -- it should come with Apache. The trick is to make it accessible to the Web. You will either need a static IP address (talk to your DSL or cable company) -- this is usually a substantial extra charge. Alternatively, you can use a dynamic Domain Name Service, such as TZO. Finally, you%26#039;ll need to register a domain name, and get a DNS entry corresponding to your static IP Address (or use the dDNS service to keep your DHCP address updated).

All-in-all, aside from the learning experience, you may find it more convenient to simply use a hosting service, such as 1%26amp;1, GoDaddy.com, etc.

To deduct expenses for selling my private art, do I need a business license?

2009-03-26T07:52:00.001-07:00

I%26#039;m a small time artist. I just started to market my crafts on the web. Naturally there are many expnses with do so. I am an honest person and do file taxes, but also would like to be able to deduct my many expenses, so as not to have to pay income taxes on my total sales. In order to show decuctions to the IRS is a business license required? I basically sell about $1000 a month via the web. This is not a lot, it%26#039;s just extra pakcet income for me. My expenses total about $300-$350 each month. Google ads, website hosting, materials, some ebay fees, credit card prosessing etc.

Also, can I incorporate this income with deductions into my private person tax return, or is a seperate business tax return required?

Thanks!
To deduct expenses for selling my private art, do I need a business license?
What you are describing is the most common form of business, the sole proprietorship. IRS doesn%26#039;t require any licenses for you to deduct your legitimate business expenses. You may consider using some sort of pc-based record-keeping software to keep things organized (Microsoft Money, Quicken Home %26amp; Business, Peachtree, etc.).

And don%26#039;t forget to track any mileage, travel and meals %26amp; entertaining you incur for business as these are often overlooked by business owners.

You may want to get a tax professional in your area if you have questions-check online or yellow pages(not H%26amp;R Block, Jackson Hewitt, or Liberty Tax franchises-they have too much employee turnover to be there for you year-after-year). Good Luck!
To deduct expenses for selling my private art, do I need a business license?
You do not need a business license. If you are not incorporated or a partnership then you file a Schedule C with your business income and expenses and the final figure (positive or negative) goes onto your 1040 with your other income items.
Reply:No, you don%26#039;t need a business license, but you do need to keep meticulas records in case you get audited.

Check your IRS forms when they come in the mail or the website below.
Reply:If you have not established a corporation or some other type of company (llc) you wont need to file a seperate tax form. You will only have to declare the profit from the art. So basically you are going to be taxed on 700 dollars.
Reply:Your city may require you get a business license unless are an amateur supporting a hobby. You look a bit beyond that but not quite all the way to prosperous.

Solutions for managing online advertisements on your website (Ad Serving)?

2009-03-26T07:52:00.000-07:00

What are the best options for managing my website%26#039;s ads? I need a solution that will manage all my website%26#039;s ads - 500 to 750 of them.

BASIC REQUIREMENTS:

- I need to track the clicks on each ad in order to bill my

customers (the advertisers).

- I need to be able to easily add, remove, or modify ads myself

- I also need to allow my advertisers to manager their ads online

(ie: to limit the amount they spend, change their ad layout, etc.).

BUDGET:

Our website receives about 80,000 page views a month (about 24,000 unique visitors), so we are not looking for a big company enterprise solution. Rather, we are looking for a small- to medium-sized web business solution. An *approximate* budget is:

$5,000 to $10,000 one-time purchase and installation cost

*OR*

$500 to $1,000 per year recurring licensing cost

I know there are %26quot;hosted ad serving%26quot; solutions out there. I think I

would rather a %26quot;local%26quot; ad server (a software solution we can install %26amp; manage)
Solutions for managing online advertisements on your website (Ad Serving)?
One very good solution that I%26#039;ve found and use on my own website is PhpAdsNew http://www.phpadsnew.com . It is a free open source ad management program that is very easy to use.

It allows real time tracking of statistics with an advertiser login account so they can check their statistics. You can easily add or pause the campaigns, set caps in terms of IP addresses, time of day or day of the week. It can run anywhere from banner to text ads to popups.

The only downside is that the system does not allow advertisers to change their banners - they have to submit it to us. The old version allows this capability but the developers found this to be a weakness in the system that hackers can exploit so this option was disabled. Nonetheless, it works well for us because we have some advertisers who insist on submitting a leaderboard instead of banners or some other funky sizes that we do not support.

I suggest you check phpadsnew out.

PhPadsnew is NOT a tool to market your website, but a tool to manage your ads as you asked Report It

If i buy a webserver how do i make a website?

2009-03-26T07:51:00.001-07:00

i am think of starting a small home-based online business, i will buy a server, but do i need a web host, or do i register a domain and point it at my server?

If you need a domain (register a web site name) and hosting look at the following link.

Free domain, free hosting. No strings.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office...
If i buy a webserver how do i make a website?
I don%26#039;t mean any disrespect at all, so please don%26#039;t take any. However, if you don%26#039;t already know how to register a domain and point it at a server, you really shouldn%26#039;t be buying a webserver. If you want to put up a website, even a complicated website with lots of pages, maybe e-commerce stuff, etc, all you need is a %26quot;virtual webserver%26quot;. That means for a small price you rent space on someone else%26#039;s webserver and build your webpage there. When you register for a virtual server, many companies can also take care of the domain registration and pointing of the name servers all at one time. Try www.godaddy.com. Their prices are reasonable and they offer all-in-one solutions and technical support to help you get things up and running.
Reply:You need to do both: purchase a domain name and purchase hosting.

Domain names will cost between five and twenty dollars depending on the registrar. I recommend GoDaddy which costs less than ten dollars.

Hosting plans start at less than ten dollars per month.

Once you have purchased both a domain name and hosting plan, you point your domain name to the server on which your hosting resides.

Everything is done for you, free domain name, monthly hosting and your website is built in less than 5 minutes. 2 week free trial.

Reply:You can get hosting so cheap these days it wouldn%26#039;t be worth it to buy your own server. Try looking at http://www.dakotawebhosting.com for domain registration and hosting.

If you don%26#039;t have the capital... well... get used to sorting through piles and piles of crappy websites. Your only real option is to post %26#039;web designers needed%26#039; ads in every available niche and then wade through the volumes of responses for the occasional gem.

2009-03-26T07:50:00.001-07:00

I use a popular dsl distributor that blocks port 80. However, I%26#039;ve been using port re-directing. Its worked great so far for my small sites. But do you think a dsl line is good enough to host business sites? Are there any laws against it,, etc....

There are no laws against it, but chances are if you read your ISP%26#039;s policies it%26#039;s prohibited by them. So if they catch you then they could terminate your service.

Beyond that, it%26#039;s not a great idea anyhow. Maybe you only get a few hits a day and that%26#039;s fine for now, but I did this long ago and had a single popular link go up and my connection was unusable and my server crashed. Plus, hosting accounts start at around $3 a month for the basics. You%26#039;ll get far more than what you%26#039;d have at home and you%26#039;ll free up all the traffic on your DSL line.

Besides, servers are targeted for viruses far more than personal machines and even basic bot crawling can suck up a lot of bandwidth on your line.

no laws against hosting a server using DSL. It really depends on how much traffic you think you%26#039;re going to get to your site. If you get a lot, you may want to upgrade you access technology or host with a shared hosting company.
Reply:Read your terms of service. If your ISP is blocking port 80 running a webserver at home is probably a violation.
Reply:You have to think about the uploads on your DSL connection. How many people are you going to have visiting your site? What is your upload 640k....is that enough to support that traffic.

Which version of Windows Server do I need?

2009-03-26T07:50:00.000-07:00

I am switching hosts and moving to managed hosting. I have ASP3, ASP.NET, MSSQL, PHP, and mySQL that need to be supported. I%26#039;m sure I could make Apache work with Mono or use IIS for XP with ISAPI Rewrite, but this is for a web-based business and I can%26#039;t afford to screw up. I%26#039;m trying to figure out what software to buy, obviously at the best price. Can I get by with Web Server 2003 and SQL Express? Do I need R2 Standard? Small Business Server?

Can someone please shed some insight into what the best OS for an ASP.NET managed server would be?

Thanks
Which version of Windows Server do I need?
Depending on what you need, 2003 Small Business server might not be a bad choice. That%26#039;s cheaper than buying the OS, SQL Server and Exchange.

Don%26#039;t skimp on the hardware either. If you underpower things, you%26#039;ll set yourself up for disaster.
Which version of Windows Server do I need?
My suggestion is windows server 2003 web edition. It should support all those features once you%26#039;ve installed the few open source applications that you need like php and MySQL.

Where are customer details saved?

Hi there, I have to do this assignment. Basically ive been asked to suggest suitable technologies for building a intranet for a small size business (40 employees) with connection to Internet.

The business is an internet travel agency - selling holiday packages. So far I have established...that The company will require a Ethernet using either a Star-bus topology, routers,a high speed internet connection, and could either host its webpage using a web host service, or purchase a webserver to host it in-house. The latter one is the dearer option, requiring expertise etc..but I have not been given any budget so I just might suggest it.

MY QUESTION - for the booking the packages..i guess I need a secure payment solutionthat customers can make their payment through. If I buy such a solution externally, how would the storage and transfer of customer details/booking work? And where would you suggest storing it - have a in-house database?

SOrry for the Long explanatioN!!
Where are customer details saved?
You could use a online payment method such as paypal to accept the payments. It is quite cheap to use and you pay fees on the amounts you recieve.

To store the users details you would need a DBMS such as MYSQL or MS Access. You would also need a scripting language to work with the DBMS such as PHP or ASP.

These could both be implemented with the use of paypal.
Where are customer details saved?
If you get an external solution, then you need a SSL certificate which is used to encypt the customer/transcation information over the net. So the information will not be compromised. For the storage, I would suggest using a mySQL database.
Reply:In the last few months it has become mandatory for any organisation that stores details of credit cards be verified for 3D secure. This requires an audit, certificate of compliance and a failure can result in a fine of upto 拢50,000 and the removal of the ability to use credit/debit cards.

You should suggest use of on online merchant, these take the responsibility of storing payment details, the will be responsible for ensuring they keep upto date with any security issues. Most will be able to give you a page that sits within your own website for payment and will take any details you need to send to them such as customer number, invoce reference etc. They then take the credit card details and send back to you a transaction reference number and details as to whether the payment failed or was successful thiscan be stored in any database you choose. Though in this instyance to reduce your costs a PHP/MySQL on Apache solution would be ideal. You will also get a secure website you can log into to review any payments taken by the provider and the ability to do refunds etc.

How do I point my domain name to a new host?

2009-03-26T07:48:00.000-07:00

I am creating a website for my small business and I%26#039;m not very web savvy. So I got a basic monthly package through Yahoo Small Business, and frankly their web design package isn%26#039;t that good. I%26#039;ve found another company I like better, and they told me I should %26quot;point%26quot; my registered domain name to them for hosting. How do I do this? And if I do, will I end up paying both Yahoo and the new company a monthly fee? I would appreciate answers from anyone who is experienced with this.
How do I point my domain name to a new host?
You have to change the DNS servers to point to the new host and they should propagate within 24-48 hours.

You terminate the hosting with Yahoo and go with the new host. I%26#039;ve done this with a few of my sites, so this is pretty easy stuff to do. Sometimes the host will do it for you, mine did at least.
How do I point my domain name to a new host?
If the new company is going to be hosting your website and domain name, then no, you will only need to pay the new company. The process of moving your domain varies between hosting companies. If they are a decent company they should offer you some free support.

If you need help designing a website, check craigslist.com in your local area, and then look at computer services. many local web designers offer website desgin for under $500, and they will deal with the setup usually.
Reply:You need to go to the domain registrar%26#039;s dns settings and change the entries for your server to the new server address. If you have the domain registered with yahoo you may need to find another registrar when you take the site away from them and there may be a transfer charge to pay.
Reply:Domain Transfer. All the Registrars have got detailed description on how to transfer from somebody else to their hosting.

Your domain transfer will not succeed unless you unlock the domain, remove privacy, set up a valid administrative email, and apply the correct authorization code(for .com, .net, .org, .biz, .us. or .info names).

To Authorize a Domain Transfer to Your Account

Log in to your Account Manager.

From the Domain Names menu, select Manage Domains. The Domain Control Center opens.

In your folder list, click Pending Transfers.

Click the Authorization button and select Begin Transfer Authorization from the list. The Authorization button is located in the right corner of the toolbar.

In the Transfer Authorization section, enter your Transaction ID and Security Code from the email notification you received regarding this transfer and click Continue.

If applicable, enter your Authorization Code that you received from the current Registrar and click Continue.
