			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve had a fair number of requests from individuals who wanted to be able to view my web site and BLOG on their cell phones.  Changing my web site to support micro-browsers will be a fair amount of work; but I&#8217;ve installed a mobile friendly theme on my BLOG which should auto-magically detect most mobile browsers and provide you with a rendering of the site that you can navigate and read on your phone (or other hand held device).  I&#8217;ve tested it on a Windows Mobile 6.5 device, and it seems to work.  I&#8217;ve also tested it with a number of WAP emulators  (Nokia N70, Samsung z105, Sony Ericson k750i, Motorola v3i, and Sharp GX-10) and it&#8217;s acceptable.  For any real mobile browser (iPhone, Blackberry, etc) it should be fine.  I will consider how best to support mobile browsers from my web site, but that won&#8217;t be something I change very soon.</p>
<hr />
http://m.rogersoles.com/ or http://m.blog.rogersoles.com/ should get you to the mobile site; but if the plug-in that&#8217;s doing the work is doing it&#8217;s job your mobile browser should be automatically detected even using the desktop address.</p>

<p>Not a 30-day money back guarantee, but an any time money back guarantee.  If you pre-pay for two or three or four years to get the best price, you can still get a pro-rated refund if they ever fail to meet your expectations; and within the first 30-days you get a full refund (I believe they will charge you for domain registration if they provided or extended your domain&#8217;s registration, but that&#8217;s reasonable).</p>
<p><strong>COST</strong> would be the third item on the list.</p>
<p>And honestly I shouldn&#8217;t say cost, but rather value.  After all, you&#8217;re not looking for a cheap web host, you&#8217;re looking for a reliable web hosting company that won&#8217;t break the bank.</p>
<p><strong>FEATURES</strong> would be the forth item on the list.</p>
<p>Web hosting plans include one domain (they will pay the registration fee, but they don&#8217;t provide private registration &#8212; so you may well find that you can get a better deal using another service for domain registration).</p>
<p>They use a fairly standard cPanel for controlling web hosting, domain, and email features.  Though, one thing to note is that just because you see something on their cPanel demo does not necessarily mean that it will be included with the hosting package you order (it may be an extra charge item &#8212; though realistically none of the &#8220;must have&#8221; features are extra charge items).</p>
<p>They have a fairly complete list of applications that can be installed directly from their control panel, and likely any LAMP based web application will run without issue (you may need to change some of the default Apache settings via .htaccess in order to make a LAMP application run optimally).</p>
<p>They support Server Side Include (SSI), PHP5, cron jobs, private/custom CGIs, SPF/DKIM, custom DNS records (you have to request customer service to add records for you on a shared hosting package; but they entered a CNAME for me in just a few minutes) and just about everything else other than Apache Tomcat (Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages framework isn&#8217;t include on shared hosting packages).</p>
<p><strong>SUPPORT</strong> would also need to be on the list.</p>
<p>Their pre-sales support is great; they&#8217;ll answer any question you might have, and generally they&#8217;re right on the money (I always test pre-sales by asking them some moderately difficult questions that I already know the answers to along with any real questions I need the answers to).</p>
<p>Their technical support staff is good; I probably should rate them very good.  They generally take care of any issue immediately; occasionally you&#8217;ll end up having to provide them a little more detail in a response to the original ticket in order to get a resolution, but even then I&#8217;ve yet to have any issue that took them more than a few hours to resolve (though keep in mind, when it involves DNS changes they don&#8217;t control how quickly that propagates through the net).</p>
<p>By default they organize your hosting account with a primary domain and all secondary and external domains are &#8220;under&#8221; that in the directory structure.  To avoid this you can do what I did and register a fictitious domain as your primary domain &lt;your name&gt;.justhost.com works well since you can be sure there&#8217;s not likely to be any collision with a real domain / zone (it would be great if they would just give you this as an option).</p>
<p><strong>RATING</strong> would also be on the list.</p>
<p>And by that I mean that you don&#8217;t have to blindly trust what I&#8217;m saying, JustHost.com consistently ranks high on comparisons with other hosting providers.  While you might find some negative comments out there, overall the reviews are positive and when viewed side-by-side with their competitors (many charging far more for less) they get great marks.</p>
<p>One note, the price you see advertised on the web site isn&#8217;t the lowest price you can get&#8230; if you decide you are interested, when you attempt to navigate away an automated &#8220;bot&#8221; will offer you a lower price (potentially a very low price).  There may be different restrictions with the promotional price than the normal packages (I could only get the price I paid per year for a maximum of three years, but it was substantially lower than their normal four year plan &#8212; in fact, three years ran me a little more than the published rate for 12 months and a little less than the published rate for 24 months).</p>
<p>When you decide to buy hosting from JustHost.com, please use the advertising panel on my site so that I get a referral credit (it won&#8217;t increase the price you pay in the least) or use this link:  <a title="JustHost.com" href="http://stats.justhost.com/track?c4dd9f5189697f6d994ac511a9d6e41d7" target="_blank">JustHost.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been over two weeks since I started the migration from 1and1 hosting to JustHost and right at two weeks since I moved my BLOG.</p>
<p>I have to say I&#8217;m very happy with JustHost.  Things worked the way they should (well, yeah, there were a few things I had to figure out, but that&#8217;s been true of every hosting service I&#8217;ve ever used personally or for clients), and things have continued to work well.</p>
<p>JustHost is different than 1and1 in many ways; and my main reason to seek another hosting company was to find one that offered Server Side Includes (SSI) at a reasonable price (yes, I can do most everything that SSI does through AJAX call backs, but it&#8217;s so much more efficient for the server to just send the information; and I could have actually wrapped the page in PHP and essentially done what a SSI would have done through PHP).</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a hosting company, I do encourage you to click the ad to the right and review their packages.  The price is extremely attractive, they get very good marks in most every review, and they just work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I posted a couple weeks ago I&#8217;d gone ahead and moved some of my domains over to JustHost.com.</p>
<p>Mainly I was looking for an affordable hosting package that supports server side includes in addition to what I already had at 1and1.com for around same price.  I also wanted unlimited bandwidth (but frankly I could have gotten that at 1and1.com with a cross-grade for just a small amount more per month with no hassle).</p>
<p>The way I started looking for a new host was to find some the &#8220;10 best&#8221; &#8220;50 best&#8221; or what ever they happened to be articles on the internet for hosting companies.  I read through them, looked at their current offerings, features, and prices.  The ones I felt were interesting I looked for reviews on the internet and read them.</p>
<p>Reviews from people you don&#8217;t know are not necessarily valuable.  Read the review, see what they&#8217;re saying, see how they&#8217;re saying, and see if their needs and abilities closely ally with yours.  And look for a pattern in reviews &#8212; if many people say the same thing, it&#8217;s far more likely to be true and not simply an isolated incident.</p>
<p>Once I narrowed down the field to a handful I reviewed any demos they offered of their control panel, features, etc.  If they didn&#8217;t have any demo I placed them on the bottom of the list.</p>
<p>Then I tried their online &#8220;chat&#8221; feature to talk to a pre-sales person.  If they didn&#8217;t offer an online chat I placed them on the bottom of the list (the very bottom &#8212; online chat is more important in the long run than a demo).</p>
<p>For the chat, I asked a few questions that there were in fact answers to on their site (just to see how quickly the person on the other end could provide me with a response, and if their response agreed).  Then I ask any questions that I had that were not addressed by the site.  Finally I ask one question that would require the person to actually think and apply the information on their site to the context of the question.</p>
<p>After that I decided on going with JustHost.com &#8212; they seemed like they provided the best package, best support, and most reasonable price.  When I went to order the package they offered me a better price when I was going to navigate away from the order page to check on a couple things.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve moved all my domains over to JustHost.com; I&#8217;ve put an affiliate advertisement for JustHost.com on my web page and my BLOG (if you&#8217;re going to order service from them, I encourage you to click on the advertisement on here so as to help defray the costs for maintaining my BLOG &#8212; and hopefully growing it; it won&#8217;t cost you anything).</p>
<p>Things I don&#8217;t like&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>They have the concept of a &#8220;primary&#8221; domain; which makes all domains but that reside under the primary in the directory structure.</li>
<li>They do not allow direct access to DNS on shared packages.</li>
<li>Shell access is extra (quite a bit extra) per year.  It would have been a &#8220;nice to have&#8221;, but I didn&#8217;t need it, and didn&#8217;t pay for it.</li>
<li>PHP5 doesn&#8217;t work by default in subdomains.</li>
<li>Databases are on the same machine as web servers.  I know this is very common, but I prefer databases to be on database servers and web servers to be separate.  This item is on the end of the list for a reason.</li>
</ul>
<p>But&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>They will allow you to use a &#8220;fake&#8221; domain (I did a subdomain of their domain) as your primary, which makes all domains equal, but if you want to access the root you have to use the host name where your hosting account files are located rather than your domain name (you could have them enter a CNAME for you if you like, but if you forget the host name just do a trace route to one of your domain&#8217;s web addresses and you&#8217;ll see it).</li>
<li>While you don&#8217;t have direct access to DNS, they will enter DNS records for you &#8212; CNAME I know (they did that for me); and I expect they&#8217;ll do TXT, A, etc.</li>
<li>To enable PHP5 in a subdomain you just need to add a couple lines to your .htaccess file (the service representative didn&#8217;t know them right off the top of his head; but after confirming it should work, I had no problem).</li>
</ul>
<p>Things I do like&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>The price is very reasonable for a unlimited shared hosting package.</li>
<li>Customer support is great; the people who&#8217;ve chatted with me or replied to my tickets have been extremely courteous and have resolved the issue.</li>
<li>Server side include support.  It really is nice to be able to have dynamic content that is provided by the server rather than have to have intricate AJAX requests (and faster).</li>
<li>Performance.  Thus far I can&#8217;t complain about the performance.</li>
<li>IMAP, POP, SMTP email both clear text and SSL versions.  SMTP is offered on alternate ports as well for individuals who&#8217;s ISP block access to port 25.</li>
</ul>
<p>I often say..</p>
<blockquote><p>Rarely do you get what you pay for.</p></blockquote>
<p>With JustHost.com you may in fact get what you pay for (and maybe more).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve mentioned before that I was considering moving my web sites to another hosting company, not that there&#8217;s anything really wrong with my previous hosting company, but more so because I wanted some features that were just too expensive for me to justify.</p>
<p>My new hosting company &#8212; JustHost.com &#8212; offers fairly attractive prices, has a fairly good reputation, and has the features I most wanted on an unlimited hosting package.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s still too soon for me to give them a recommendation; but I have placed an advertising link on the side panel of my site and blog to them (and yes I will get a referral fee if you use it).</p>
<p>A couple things&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not hosting any domains with them; their registration price isn&#8217;t bad, but private registration is extra (and I really don&#8217;t like my personal and confidential information published on the web to be harvested by those who will not benefit me).</p>
<p>The cPanel interface they use is fairly common at hosting companies (I guess vDeck is the other big competitor) &#8212; but it&#8217;s totally different from what I&#8217;m used to.</p>
<p>Keep in mind, you should evaluate a web hosting company against your personal needs and requirements.  Remember, most hosting companies packages like this are not suitable for companies that have a great deal of web traffic and would suffer should their web site not be able to deliver information to customers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to Encarta<sup>®</sup> World English Dictionary [North American Edition]</p>
<p>NOUN</p>
<ol>
<li>connection: a connection or link associating two or more people or things</li>
<li>connected group: a group or series of connected people or things</li>
<li>center: the center or focus of something</li>
<li>cell biology specialized part of cell membrane: a specialized area of the cellular membrane that helps cells to communicate or adhere</li>
</ol>
<p>[ Mid-17th century. &lt; Latin <em>nex-</em>, past participle of <em>nectere</em> "bind" ]</p>
<p>It comes to English from Latin&#8230; and it comes to Google (they say) from there as well.</p>
<p>However, in the marketing of the nexus one Android cell phone Google now faces two growing problems.</p>
<p>The family of <a title="Philip K Dick" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_K._Dick" target="_blank">Philip K Dick</a> (16-Dec-1928 &#8211; 2-Mar-1982)<em>, <a title="Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Androids_Dream_of_Electric_Sheep%3F" target="_blank">Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?</a> (1968)</em>, have issued Google a cease and desist order alleging that the use of &#8221;nexus one&#8221; infringes on the copyright of their father&#8217;s work.</p>
<p>Whether or not there&#8217;s any validity to the claim, at most it&#8217;s a simple issue Google can throw money (or lawyers) at and resolve it without too much ado.</p>
<p>Yet, a bigger problem for Google is that the nexus one is being marketed directly to consumers; and Google isn&#8217;t know for customer service.  In fact, Google is know only for totally automated systems; systems that are not likely to appease consumers who spend $529.00 on a device that doesn&#8217;t do everything they believe it should do.</p>
<p>A growing trend of dissatisfied users are posting everything from rants about issues with T-Mobile&#8217;s upgrade policies to slow delivery and issues with errors on handsets when they&#8217;re used&#8230; and no response from Google.</p>
<p>Hacking a cell phone might be a good area for community support; but cell phone users are accustomed to (and expect) support from the manufacturer and / or cellular carrier.</p>
<p>Admittedly Google doesn&#8217;t have a high level of customer service they need to provided to be as good as most cellular vendors &#8212; but when they pitted themselves against Apple, they set reasonably high expectations from consumers.</p>
<p>Welcome to the real world Google &#8212; you don&#8217;t need to worry nearly as much about Wall Street as Main Street now!</p>
