[Sponsored] Online diaries or Weblogs have grown exponentially since I started blogging around 5 years ago, and it has continues to grow at a very healthy pace. In addition to that, there are also several small businesses who are putting themselves online and being discovered by more people.

Is it easy to create a website or blog? Yes, and there are several free blogging and website platforms like Blogger and WordPress which let you setup a blog or website in 5 minutes or less. However, what if you are looking for a professionally created website on your own domain? Asking this question to people always evoke mixed reactions because they are often worried about hosting their own site and creating their own pages along with bandwidth and web space which are required to run a website.

Many people would not want to create or run their own personal or business website because of the cost involved in setting it up and maintaining it. However, the world has moved forward and there are services which provide users with affordable hosting services and domains.

Web Hosting Hub is once such web hosting provider provides users with unlimited web hosting for only $4.95 a month. Unlimited web hosting involves both disk space and bandwidth which is critical for any website to run. In addition to that, you can also host unlimited domains and get a free domain name when you sign up with them.

Impressions

One of the first things I do before signing up with any webhost is searching the internet for reviews of the hosting provider. I did the same with Web Hosting Hub and read a lot of positive reviews of the company. Though I have not personally used their hosting, the user reviews make me comfortable enough to use them if I ever need to. Along with that, the low cost and 90 days money back guarantee makes it a no-brainer.

In addition to that, I also put their 24/7 support to test and used their online chat to find a solution for a fake problem which didn’t exist. I was able to quickly speak to a associate who tried to find a solution for my problem, alas it never existed.  Overall, I was happy with their claim about providing 24/7 technical support, which is a real must for any web hosting company. It is also definitely better than sending emails to your web hosting support guy and waiting for a reply when your website it down.

You can take a look at all the web hosting features that are part of Web Hosting Hub or review a chart of web hosting comparison between WH Hub and other hosting providers like Bluehost.

GoDaddy is probably the king of domain registrations and hosting solutions with it being the registrant of a significant percentage of registered domains. Now the big daddy of domain registration, e-commerce and hosting services has put itself up on sale for a staggering $1 billion.

According to WSJ, GoDaddy is up on the block for a cool sum of $1 billion. GoDaddy, which heavily advertises raunchy advertisements, specially during the Super Bowl posted revenue between $750 and $800 million in 2009 and is by far the biggest domain registrant and service provider for websites.

GoDaddy.com currently handles about 43 million domain registrations, the sale for Go Daddy Group Inc will be handled by Qatalyst Partners. GoDaddy has been known to provide steep discounts on domain registration including 99 cent domain deals to lure customers towards them. However, it would be interesting to see who they lure with the $1 billion price tag.

This article is mainly for those of you who have a website or post files to web servers using FTP (file transfer protocol). Most of you may already be using an FTP client such as FileZilla to upload all of your files. This works great but sometimes you may want to upload only one or two files. It takes time to launch the FTP client and make sure it’s pointing to the proper location before you upload. I’ll show you a quick way to upload files by simply right clicking on them and using the built-in Windows Sendto menu. This will take a few minutes to set up, but one nice thing about this procedure is that it doesn’t require you to download and install any new software.

Windows XP: Open “My Network Places” and click on “Add a network place”

Select “Choose another network location” and click “Next”.

Enter the FTP address for the FTP server.

Enter the user name and un-check the “Log on anonymously” box

Finish creating the network location. It will try to connect to your FTP server. Once it does, it’ll ask you to enter your password. You can tell it to remember your password at this point if you want to.

When you have your new Network Place (FTP server) open, navigate to the folder where you most commonly upload files.  Right click on the folder and select “copy”

Windows XP: Open up the Start > Run menu and type in “sendto”. The Sendto folder should open. Right click in an empty area in the Sendto folder and paste a shortcut. You can rename the shortcut at this point if you wish.

Windows Vista/7: Finding the Sendto folder is a pain in the rear. Typically it’s located at …
C:\Users\*YourUserName*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo.

Right click in an empty area in the Sendto folder and paste a shortcut. You can rename the shortcut at this point if you wish.

Now when you need to quickly send a file or files using FTP, you can right click on the files, choose “Sendto” and then pick the shortcut you just created.

Be sure to comment below if you have you’re own ideas on how to easily upload via   FTP.
