(Recommended)</li>\r\n	<li>Use mod_rewrite to serve cache files. (Recommended)</li>\r\n	<li>Compress pages so they’re served more quickly to visitors. (Recommended)</li>\r\n	<li>Cache rebuild. Serve a supercache file to anonymous users while a new file is being generated. (Recommended)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThen Click Update Status\r\n\r\nThis will enable the WP Super Cache Plugin, however there\'s still one more step.  After applying these changes you must click Update Mod_Rewrite Rules.  This will update your .htaccess file automatically with all of the caching directives so caching is enabled.\r\n\r\nThis step really helps with the <strong>First Byte Time </strong>and<strong> Compress Images</strong>.  It causes your website to create a cache version of each of your dynamic pages.  In other words it speeds up the first response from the server since it doesn\'t happen to make multiple mysql calls and generate the page on the fly.  Once you\'ve completed all of this it\'s time to go to webpagetest.org again and run another test.  First you should open your website homepage in your browser to ensure the cache is generated.  Then run the second test and grab a cup of coffee.\r\n\r\n<strong>Setting Up MaxCDN With WP Super Cache In Wordpress</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><a title=\"Max CDN for Content Delivery\" href=\"http://tracking.maxcdn.com/c/60075/3961/378\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1770\" alt=\"maxcdn-load-faster\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/maxcdn-load-faster.png\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" /></a>Step 2.</strong> To resolve the rest of the optimization issues we would suggest setting up a CDN account with <a href=\"http://tracking.maxcdn.com/c/60075/3961/378\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Max CDN</a>\r\n\r\nSimply visit their website, select a CDN plan, and within minutes you\'ll have your welcome letter.  After you login to your Max CDN account create a new \"Pull Zone\".  A pull zone makes managing your CDN easy.  A CDN works by making a copy of your images and javascript files which rarely change.  It then takes those copies and publishes them to several web servers around the world.  When a user visits your website the image is then loaded from the CDN instead of your site.  For example if your website was itxdesign.com and you wanted to load the image webhosting.jpg instead of using itxdesign.com/webhosting.jpg the coding is automatically updated to cdn.itxdesign.com/webhosting.jpg.  So your website pages still load from your hosting account, however the images load from the subdomain cdn.itxdesign.com.  The power behind the CDN is that the subdomain that you setup is dynamic.  In otherwords the ultimate location that it points to varies depending on the geographical location of the user.  If someone is in Virginia then cdn.itxdesign.com is automatically pointed to the closest server in Virginia and the images would be loaded from there.\r\n\r\n<strong>The benefits of a Pull Zone with Max CDN</strong>\r\n\r\nYou should really consider using a Pull Zone.  If not then every time you upload a new image to your website you would have to login to your CDN account and upload it there. However, with a pull zone you simply upload the image to your website.  The first time a visitor goes to your site and requests an image that\'s not in the CDN, the CDN will automatically download that image from your site, add it to the CDN, and then display the image to the visitor.  This initial pull is slower than hosting the image yourself, however after the first pull the image is stored in the CDN and you\'ll see a huge improvement in speed.\r\n\r\n<strong>Setup a Sub Domain or CNAME Record for Your CDN</strong>\r\n\r\nIn this step you can choose to either use the url that Max CDN provides or you can setup a sub domain using your own domain name.   We would suggest using cdn.yourdomain.com.  Contact your hosting provider and have them create a new dns cname record that points cdn.yourdomain.com to your url with Max CDN.  Your Max CDN url can be found by logging into your account, click Zones, click Manage next to the zone your created, Click Settings.  Then scroll to the bottom under custom domain settings.  For custom domains enter in cdn.yourdomain.com and click add.  Right below that you will see: <label>CNAME to</label> domain.domain.netdna-cdn.com.  Copy the CNAME to and that\'s what you send to your host.  This will allow them to setup your CNAME Record and point cdn.yourdomain.com to your Max CDN CNAME to domain.domain.netdna-cdn.com.\r\n\r\n<strong>Enabling a CDN in WP Super Cache</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>After you\'ve installed WP Super Cache and setup Max CDN you have to login to WordPress and enable the CDN function. </strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>Login to WordPress</li>\r\n	<li>Go to Settings --&gt; WP Super Cache</li>\r\n	<li>Click the CDN tab</li>\r\n	<li>Check \"Enable CDN Support\"</li>\r\n	<li>Off-site URL \"cdn.yourdomain.com\"</li>\r\n	<li>Additional CNAMES \"http://cdn.yourdomain.com\"</li>\r\n	<li>Check \"Skip https URLs to avoid \"mixed content\" errors\"</li>\r\n	<li>Save Changes</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nWe followed all of these steps and in the end it was very rewarding.  Our website is now superfast and we were able to achieve all \"A\'s\" with webpagetest.org<img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1763\" alt=\"webpage-test-great\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/webpage-test-great-300x75.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"75\" />\r\n\r\n<a title=\"wordpress web hosting\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/wordpress-hosting/\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1772\" alt=\"wordpress-square-w-logo\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/wordpress-square-w-logo.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" /></a>If I had to rank this on difficulty for the average user I would say it\'s an 8 out of 10.  You have to understand caching, dns, cname records and CDN services in order to optimize your website and achieve a great report.  If you have questions leave a comment and we\'ll try to help.  If your website is hosted with us and you\'re using WordPress you can open a support ticket and we can handle the setup for you which is included in our hosting and support services.  If not we offer this service to non-clients for $150 if you\'re using WordPress and your website is hosted by another host.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://itxdesign.com/wordpress-hosting/\">WordPress Web Hosting</a>, WP Super Cache, and MaxCDN are the ultimate combination if you want a fast website that utilizes the best in caching and content delivery networks.','WP Super Cache','','publish','open','open','','optimize-your-website-for-speed','','http://itxdesign.com/wordpress-hosting/\nhttp://itxdesign.com/wordpress-hosting/','2014-01-07 09:42:19','2014-01-07 17:42:19','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?p=1390',0,'post','',3),(1761,1,'2013-07-31 07:22:19','2013-07-31 11:22:19','We recently launched our new website at ITXDesign.com that features our new line of VPS Servers, Dedicated Servers, and Shared Web Hosting Plans.  After the launch we were tasked with quickly optimizing the site to take advantage of some of the latest optimization and caching tools.  The first thing you should do before making any changes to your website is test the site using webpagetest.org.  This will allow you to establish a benchmark on how your site ranks.  Run the test:\r\n\r\nWhen we first ran the test we had very low rankings for:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>First Byte Time</li>\r\n	<li>Compress Transfer</li>\r\n	<li>Compress Images</li>\r\n	<li>Progressive JPEGs</li>\r\n	<li>Cache static content</li>\r\n	<li>Effective use of CDN</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nOur goal was to get all A\'s since we\'re over achievers, however it wasn\'t an easy task.  Our visitors appreciate a fast loading website so we began the process of speeding things up.\r\n\r\nThis tutorial is primarily for Wordpress Websites as that\'s what we use for our corporate sites.\r\n\r\nStep 1.  We installed and configured WP Super Cache.  To complete the install login to your worpdress admin, click Plugins, and then search for \"WP Super Cache\".  Click the install and the activate the plugin.  This alone will address a lot of the issues.  Once the install is complete go to the settings for the plugin, Click the Easy tab, and then select \"On\" caching.  Then Click Update Status.  After this we would suggest clicking the Advanced Tab and be sure to select the following options:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Cache hits to this website for quick access. (Recommended)</li>\r\n	<li>Use mod_rewrite to serve cache files. (Recommended)</li>\r\n	<li>Compress pages so they’re served more quickly to visitors. (Recommended)</li>\r\n	<li>Cache rebuild. Serve a supercache file to anonymous users while a new file is being generated.

It is a software program which will help increase the views on your video so that it can rank higher on YouTube. However, this is something that certain people will believe is helpful, however in the long run it can end up damaging the hard work that you have put in to your video marketing efforts.\r\n\r\nWhy would anyone want to use YouTube promotion software? The answer is quite simple: the software is marketed in a very strong and efficient way. The way the sales page reads seems to show that the software will be the answer to all of your problems and challenges that you are facing in internet marketing. While they make beautiful promises, all that you will end up getting is a black hat program which could cause more damage than good for your business.\r\nWhat Could Happen By Using YouTube Promotion Software?\r\n\r\nIf you make a decision to use YouTube promotion software, then it is possible that you will get your account banned from YouTube. The way YouTube promotion software works is that it uses internet proxies in order to send fake views to your video that serve to increase the total count of views. As YouTube ranks videos that have a high amount of views better, this would serve to increase your ranking in the YouTube search engine. As you can see, using a software program to artificially increase your view count is not a good thing as it is against the rules of YouTube. Therefore, while it may work in the short term, it will not work for very long.\r\n\r\nSure, there are some new types of YouTube promotion software that do not use proxies, but this does not automatically make them good. What the creators of new YouTube promotion software are doing is simply finding loopholes to momentarily avoid detection by YouTube. This is not a good long term strategy for your business at all.\r\n\r\nSince YouTube is owned by Google, you can bet on the fact that they have advanced methods to detect people who are cheating and using YouTube promotion software to artificially pad the amount of views that their videos get. They will then work to close any possible loopholes, which would make the current software that you are using quite useless and leave you hunting for a new one.\r\n\r\nAs you can see, using programs which allow cheating such as YouTube promotion software is not a good thing if you are thinking of building a long term business.\r\nDisadvantages of YouTube Promotion Software\r\n\r\nThe main problem with YouTube promotion software is that it is not a tool that lets you build an online business for long term results. What you will probably end up getting is simply a business that makes you a bit of money at the beginning but will then fall apart when it is discovered by YouTube that you simply cheated to get a high amount of views.\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to increase the amount of views that they get on their YouTube videos, then there are plenty of legitimate ways of doing so without having to use software programs to assist you. All in all, making use of YouTube promotion software is really not a good way to make money online as it is not something that will last in the long term.\r\n\r\n<strong>Using YouTube Promotion Guidelines To Get Some Traffic</strong>\r\n\r\nBeing aware of the YouTube promotion guidelines is very important as this will let you get exactly what you want out of this video sharing site for your business. YouTube can be useful for various things, such as getting backlinks, going up in search rankings, getting more traffic and helping you develop branding for your business. But, you need to use YouTube properly if you want to have the maximum effect.\r\n\r\nIf you are not following the various YouTube promotion guidelines, then it is possible that you will simply end up wasting time and effort. The videos that you would put up in that case would not get that many views. After all, people are not going to want to visit your website after seeing your videos if they simply don’t like the content.\r\nThe Best YouTube Promotion Guidelines That Any Marketer Needs to Follow\r\n\r\n<strong>Keep Your Audience Entertained and Don’t Upload Videos That Look Like Commercials</strong>\r\n\r\nIf the video that you uploaded is entertaining and captivates the viewer’s attention, then they are more likely to want to watch it until the end rather than clicking out and watching another video. If they like what they see, it makes them much more likely to share your video with their friends and thus give you even more views and traffic to your website.

We can meet any dedicated server requirement to include dedicated email servers, <a title=\"dedicated web server\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/web-server/\">web servers</a>, or database servers.</p>\r\n<strong>Benefits of Choosing Dedicated Server Hosting</strong>\r\n<p>If you\'re unsure of the type of hosting you need, it\'s always a good idea to look at the benefits. Compared to other types of hosting, dedicated server hosting provides the maximum-security level and the ability to use ALL the resources of the server for your website. </p>\r\n<p>With VPS or shared hosting, you\'re stuck on a server with other accounts. This cuts into the resources you can use and doesn\'t provide you with complete security. If you\'re business processes and/or stores credit cards, customer information or other sensitive information, you NEED dedicated server hosting. It\'s the only way to gain full control over the security of your website and all the files included. </p>\r\n<p>Gaining access to the full resources of a server allows your site to handle a larger amount of traffic. Businesses with a high volume of traffic need the resources of a dedicated hosting server. Without your own server, you may struggle with downtime issues because of the high volume of traffic you receive. This causes issues for both shared and VPS hosting accounts.  </p>\r\n<strong>Upgrading Your Hosting</strong>\r\n<p>As your business grows, it\'s normal to upgrade your hosting. A website receiving less than 100 visitors a day doesn\'t need the same type of hosting compared to one receiving over 10,000 visitors a day. This makes a huge difference and if you don\'t have the right hosting, you could miss out on potential customers. </p>','Dedicated Servers','','inherit','open','open','','29-revision-v1','','','2013-04-16 19:19:42','2013-04-16 23:19:42','',29,'http://itxdesign.com/29-revision-40/',0,'revision','',0),(1198,1,'2013-05-30 22:06:15','2013-05-31 02:06:15','','Home','','publish','open','open','','home','','','2017-03-06 08:12:20','2017-03-06 13:12:20','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?page_id=1198',0,'page','',0),(1199,1,'2013-05-30 22:06:13','2013-05-31 02:06:13','','Home','','inherit','open','open','','1198-revision-v1','','','2013-05-30 22:06:13','2013-05-31 02:06:13','',1198,'http://itxdesign.com/1198-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(1200,1,'2013-05-31 10:32:30','2013-05-31 14:32:30','','My Account','','publish','open','open','','my-account','','','2013-07-26 12:01:08','2013-07-26 16:01:08','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?p=1200',1,'nav_menu_item','',0),(1201,1,'2013-05-31 10:32:30','2013-05-31 14:32:30','','Technical Support','','publish','open','open','','technical-support','','','2013-07-26 12:01:08','2013-07-26 16:01:08','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?p=1201',3,'nav_menu_item','',0),(1202,1,'2013-05-31 10:32:46','2013-05-31 14:32:46','','Affiliates','','publish','open','open','','affiliates','','','2013-07-26 12:01:08','2013-07-26 16:01:08','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?p=1202',2,'nav_menu_item','',0),(1204,1,'2013-05-31 10:33:41','2013-05-31 14:33:41',' ','','','publish','open','open','','1204','','','2013-07-26 12:01:08','2013-07-26 16:01:08','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?p=1204',4,'nav_menu_item','',0),(1205,1,'2013-05-31 10:33:41','2013-05-31 14:33:41',' ','','','publish','open','open','','1205','','','2013-07-26 12:01:08','2013-07-26 16:01:08','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?p=1205',5,'nav_menu_item','',0),(1206,1,'2013-05-31 10:37:44','2013-05-31 14:37:44',' ','','','publish','open','closed','','1206','','','2014-02-12 13:18:53','2014-02-12 18:18:53','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?p=1206',1,'nav_menu_item','',0),(1207,1,'2013-05-31 10:37:44','2013-05-31 14:37:44',' ','','','publish','open','closed','','1207','','','2014-02-12 13:18:53','2014-02-12 18:18:53','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?p=1207',4,'nav_menu_item','',0),(1553,1,'2013-07-17 15:26:39','2013-07-17 19:26:39','<h2>Why Hosting Joomla on ITX Design is a Good Idea?</h2>\r\n<div id=\"full-underline\"></div>\r\nJoomla is the one of the world\'s most popular open source content management system (CMS), is free to use, and hosting Joomla on ITX Design is a great way to get it.

You can use the social sites to help you gain exposure and put a face with your business all over the internet. This is a great way to gain business and loyalty.\r\n\r\nMillions of people use social sites like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and more. This is the best reason why you should be using social media strategies for small businesses. You can literally reach millions of potential customers without having to do much more than put up a fan page or a profile and promote it.\r\n\r\nThe best part is that some social sites can help you narrow down your marketing so that you only market to those that fit the demographic you are after. This can help you to bring a ton of targeted traffic to your business website and this means higher conversions and less wasted advertising money.\r\n\r\n<strong>A Few of the Best Social Media Strategies for Small Businesses</strong>\r\nThe first thing and most important thing you should do when it comes to social media strategies for small businesses is create a Facebook profile and fan page along with a Twitter profile as well. These are by far the most powerful two sites and you can leverage that power to bring in a ton of business and profits.\r\n\r\nAfter you have got an idea of how Facebook and Twitter work you can start using the pay per click advertising program that Facebook has and this can help you to target your market better. You can narrow your market by age, race, sex, income, hobbies, and more. This is a great way to make sure that only those that fit your demographic see your ad.\r\n\r\nYou can use this type of advertising to build up fans on your Facebook fan page and this can lead to quite a bit more business. Business is not always easy to get, but when you have a few hundred or more fans you can build new business along with repeat business. This also helps to build up customer loyalty.\r\n\r\nThere is a personal connection that comes along with using social sites for your business and another strategy to help your website and blog visitors share your information with others is to put social media icons on your site. This allows them to share each blog post and webpage with their friends and this can start a snowball effect.\r\n\r\n<strong>Leveling the Playing Field by Using Social Media Strategies for Small Businesses</strong>\r\nLarger corporations leverage the power of social media websites and you can too. It does not matter if your business is run from home or if you have 500 employees and 10 locations, you can still leverage the power of using social media strategies for small businesses. This helps to even the playing field between you and the larger corporations you are competing with.\r\n\r\nThe best part is that when you announce something through Facebook or Twitter your fans and followers may see it instantly on their mobile phone. With the new technology many get instant updates on their phones from social sites and those updates could be what you post. This is a great way to use social media strategies for small businesses and get more business.\r\n\r\n<strong>Understanding Social Media Trends and the Benefits for Your Business</strong>\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1700\" alt=\"social-media-announcer\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/social-media-announcer.jpg\" width=\"168\" height=\"116\" />Using Social Media Trends to Build Your Business Over Time</strong>\r\nWhen you understand the different social media trends you can leverage this information to help you gain traffic and build your business. There are many trends that happen in the social world and there are always new things that these sites announce and launch for all to use.\r\n\r\nSocial media never used to matter when it came to online marketing, but if you do not use this power for your website you are way behind now. Many have created accounts with multiple social media sites to help them leverage the different social media trends that have happened over the years.\r\n\r\n<strong>Some of the Social Media Trends of the Past</strong>\r\nIf you remember back, one of the top social media sites that was first introduced was MySpace. This was a huge deal for quite some time and many used it to introduce their business to the market place. This was also used for finding someone to date and for keeping in touch with friends.\r\n\r\nAfter MySpace, one of the next big social media trends was Facebook. When it was first introduced it was only for college students with a college email account. This kept MySpace in the game and allowed MySpace to continue to be very popular before Facebook took over.\r\n\r\nAt one point Facebook did not allow you to sign up if you were a business, but another one of the social media trends happened and they started allowing members to create fan pages for their businesses. This was what changed Facebook and allowed it to be a marketing media for many businesses.\r\n\r\nBefore businesses used Facebook to gain exposure they had to rely on other marketing methods that do not work as well now as they did then. Another one of the biggest social media trends is that many social bookmarking websites began to become very popular. Delicious was one of the first ones to become huge and really be leveraged for marketing purposes.\r\n\r\nSince social bookmarking became so large there have been hundreds of new choices to use for marketing and backlinks. They have become a staple in many marketing plans for many websites out there. Even larger corporations are using them now to make sure their websites are getting exposure.\r\n\r\nHow You can Leverage Your Knowledge of Social Media Trends\r\nWhen you know what the next big social media site is going to be you can leverage it by making sure you are in the right place at the right time. This also works if you know that Facebook, Twitter, or one of the larger and more popular sites is going to bring out a new tool or way of advertising that you can leverage.\r\n\r\nFor now, you can start by using the different sites and tools that are already out there and make sure you are in the right position with some of the smaller sites as well. There are many tools and methods that can help you cash in on the different social media trends that happen every year.\r\n\r\n<strong>3 Reasons for Using Social Media for Business</strong>\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>Why You Should Be Using Social Media for Business</strong>\r\nIf you are not already using social media for business, then you need to understand why it is a great idea for you to be using social media for business. There are many benefits to using different types of marketing and social media is very popular right now. If you are not leveraging the power of sites like Facebook, then you are missing out.\r\n\r\nThere are two major types of social sites and one is used by millions of people every single day in order to stay in contact with family and friends, find dates, and find businesses. The other is used to bookmark top blog posts and web pages and share them with an online community. You need to leverage the power of both of these and here is why.\r\n\r\n<strong>3 Reasons Why You Should be Using Social Media for business</strong>\r\n1. Traffic\r\n\r\nWhen you use Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Digg, Stumbleupon, Reddit, and all the other social media and social bookmarking sites that are out there you can get a large amount of traffic directly from them. This is one of the best ways to get targeted traffic and repeat traffic to your website or blog.\r\n\r\nTraffic is the most important thing when it comes to online marketing and you cannot just build a website and hope visitors will find you. If you want to get a ton of traffic and online power, then you need to be using social media for business to gain traffic directly from these social websites.\r\n\r\n2. Search Engine Optimization\r\n\r\nIf you want to rank higher in Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask, and all the other search engine rankings, then you need to have the proper onsite and offsite search engine optimization. Part of this is backlinks and they can come from using social media for business. These social sites are incredibly powerful and can give you lots of backlink juice.\r\n\r\nThere are software tools and services that you can pay to submit your webpages and blog posts to hundreds or even thousands of social sites. There are also plugins and tools you can use for your blog or website to have your content automatically submitted to these sites when you post it or create it.\r\n\r\n3. An online presence and branding\r\n\r\nIt has been proven that, on average, a consumer has to see your brand or message 7 times before they will take the action you want them to. This means that you need to get in front of them in many different ways. You can no longer just rely on the search engines to help you with this.\r\n\r\nIf you are already ranked on the search engines, then you can also use many of the social sites to get in front of these consumers again and again. This is a great way to create a brand and make it more recognizable to the average consumer.\r\n\r\nUsing Social Media for Business and Traffic\r\nThe bottom line is that if you are not already using social media for business, then you are missing out on a large number of potential website visitors and potential sales. There are quite a few people out there that would probably love to buy what you are selling, sign up for your newsletter, or read what your message is on your blog.\r\n\r\nYou cannot get these people to take the action you want if you are not in front of them and you are not where they are. You need to be on the major social sites and the ones that are not so popular as well. By using social media for business you can create new business and gain customer loyalty for repeat business.','Competing with Larger Businesses is Easier with Social Media Strategies for Small Businesses','','publish','open','open','','competing-with-larger-businesses-is-easier-with-social-media-strategies-for-small-businesses','','','2013-07-29 07:53:22','2013-07-29 11:53:22','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?p=1698',0,'post','',0),(1220,1,'2013-06-02 08:36:30','2013-06-02 12:36:30','If you secure your website and display it publicly your customers will have confidence when they complete their order online!  Site Lock is the perfect way to show your clients that you care about security.  Wouldn\'t it be great if a company guaranteed your client\'s purchase by checking your site daily for security issues, malware, code injections, etc...  That\'s exactly what Site Lock offers and it\'s the perfect tool for ensuring your site is up to date and in-line with common security practices.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-393 alignleft\" title=\"sitelock-logo\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/sitelock-logo.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"246\" height=\"63\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFor only $9.99/month Site Lock will scan your website daily to ensure it\'s secure.  You receive a secure image that you can place on your site and it updates daily.  This secure image lets visitors know that your <a title=\"Host\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/host\">host</a> is secure.  Each time Site Lock scans your website it updates your image so your customers can rest assured that they\'re protected.  Here\'s an example of the image that\'s displayed on a Site Lock Protected website:\r\n\r\n<a onclick=\"window.open(\'https://www.sitelock.com/verify.php?site=itxdesign.com\',\'SiteLock\',\'width=600,height=600,left=160,top=170\');\" href=\"#\"><img title=\"SiteLock\" src=\"https://shield.sitelock.com/shield/itxdesign.com\" alt=\"website security\" /></a>\r\n\r\nBy becoming a Site Lock Protected site for only $9.99/month they will scan your site daily and notify you of any vulnerabilities or injected code.\r\n\r\n<strong>Order Now:</strong>\r\n\r\nLogin to your client area\r\n<a title=\"Client Area\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/billing/clientarea.php\">https://itxdesign.com/billing/clientarea.php</a>\r\nClick Order under Quick Navigation\r\nUnder Categories Select Product Addons\r\nThen Click the Order Now Button under Site Lock - Protect My Site\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Site Lock','','inherit','open','open','','390-revision-7','','','2013-06-02 08:36:30','2013-06-02 12:36:30','',390,'http://itxdesign.com/390-revision-7/',0,'revision','',0),(1380,1,'2013-06-27 10:36:09','2013-06-27 14:36:09','','shared-hosting-package-guy','','inherit','open','open','','shared-hosting-package-guy','','','2013-06-27 10:36:09','2013-06-27 14:36:09','',1379,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/shared-hosting-package-guy.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(1381,1,'2013-06-27 10:35:31','2013-06-27 14:35:31','The Best Shared Hosting Packages\nGetting one of the <a title=\"compare the best shared web hosting plans\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/compare-hosting-plans/\">best shared hosting packages</a> is the right decision for most people.

This is important to the foundation of your website or blog.\n\nHigher Level Shared Hosting Packages\nGetting a shared hosting package that is not a low-level package can give you many benefits.

Usually there are a few other benefits you get from upgrading to higher-level package. This is usually good for those building more than one website that need to be able to host more than one domain name.\n\nThe other one of the shared hosting packages that some companies will offer is a business package, which includes access to shopping cart software and more. Some of these business packages will even give you a toll free number to use for your business.

have to get if you want to be online and make money with your website. You need to consider that your domain name is going to be the face for your business online and you will need to know what the advantages of having the right domain name for your business are.\r\n\r\nFirst, if you have a good domain name it is recognizable, easy to remember, and will give you traffic you can get from areas that you never thought possible. You have to get the right type of name for your website or you will struggle to get the online results you are really after. The name is your identity and it is very important that you choose the proper business domain name.\r\n\r\nSecond, when you have a top domain name for your business you can use it on your business cards and your offline marketing. This will help to build your brand and will help others to recognize what you do and what you are all about. Your offline marketing is important and you have to get a domain name that will fit with it well.\r\n\r\nLast, a great domain name can literally put you on the map with the online portion of your business. If you want your business to grow online you will want to make sure have the right type of domain name. Many businesses can be very successful online, but without the right domain name they cannot get on the map online.\r\n\r\nYou have to get a top domain name for your business or you will lose out on many things you probably don\'t even realize would give you more sales and profits. Below are two types of domain names you can use for your business and it is up to you to decide which one of them is going to be right for your business.\r\n\r\nThe Top 2 Types of Business Name Domains Choices\r\n\r\nBranding\r\n\r\nIf you want to have a domain name that will help your business with branding, then you will want to get one that is as close to the name of your business as possible. The only thing that would cause this to not work is if your company name is already taken. In this situation you can add a small word to the domain to get a domain with your company name in it.\r\n\r\nAnother way you can go is you can get a domain name that is your product name or names. You can actually have more than one domain name. If you get one for each of the different products that you carry, then you can have a website about each one of them. These can also be sub domains on your main domain name, which would be your company name.\r\n\r\nBranding is a great way to go with a business domain name and it will help quite a bit with your offline marketing as well. People will be able to remember your name much better if you are using your company name as your domain name. This will help more people to find you much faster and much easier than you may think.\r\n\r\nKeyword Rich\r\n\r\nAnother way to get a business domain name that will help make you money and give you an online presences is to get a domain name that has a main keyword in it. This is a bit like getting a domain name that has your product name in it, but instead of trying to brand your website you are trying to rank high on search engines for the keyword phrase you chose.\r\n\r\nThe keyword phrase should have something to do with what you do as a company and you are looking for a phrase that gets searched for quite a bit on Google and on other search engines. This will help to bring you large amounts of traffic that is going to be very highly targeted to what you are doing and what your company is all about.\r\n\r\nAgain, like with the product domains, you can either get many domain names with different keyword phrases or you can use sub domains to help you target other main keyword phrases. The more pages you have that target top keyword phrases the more high rankings you can get. This will help you to get more traffic that is very targeted to your company.\r\n\r\nOne Last Key to Your Company\'s Domain Name\r\n\r\nThe last key to your business domain name is to make sure it is a .com domain name and that you have good hosting for it. This is the highest ranking type of domain name and it is the easiest for your customers to remember as well. This is the default type of domain name that most people will try to type in when they are trying to find a company.\r\n\r\nNo other domain name extension will do and if the .com domain name is not available you need to think about a different domain name that it is available for. You could use a .net or .biz, but these are not going to rank as high and they are not going to be as easy for people to remember when you use them in offline marketing.\r\n\r\nYour business is very important and if you don\'t get a top domain name you will not be able to take advantage of every benefits you can get from going online. This is vital to your business success and you have to find the right business domain name to help you gain the online face for your business you need.\r\n\r\nWhat is the Best Domain Name for your Project?\r\nThere are many benefits to having the best domain name for your project and you need to know some of the main benefits. When you have a domain name that fits your blog or your website just right you will have more leverage than you may think. Some people take getting a domain name for granted, but this is one of the most important parts of your project.\r\n\r\nWhen you have the best domain name for your project you will rank higher, have better branding, and you will make more money as well. There are many benefits that a good domain name can give you and below you are going to discover three of the top benefits of having the best domain name for you.\r\n\r\n1. Higher Ranking\r\n\r\nIf you are trying to get higher ranking on Google, Yahoo, Bing, and all the other search engines, then you will need to have a strong domain name. The right domain name can help you rank much higher than if you have a domain name that is not going to rank all that high. Typically when you have a domain name with a good keyword phrase in it you can rank higher.\r\n\r\n2. Branding\r\n\r\nWith the right type of domain name you can certainly brand your website better than if you have the wrong type of domain name. When you have the best domain name for your project it could be as simple as your company name with a .com at the end. This can help you with the branding and the recognition of your website and your company.\r\n\r\n3. Making More Money\r\n\r\nRanking and branding will help you make more money because you will have more traffic and more of a chance to make the money you will if you do not have the best domain name for your project. Traffic is not going to be the only key to helping you make more money, but it does help quite a bit with the process.\r\n\r\nChoosing the Perfect Domain Name for your Website or Blog\r\n\r\nThere are basically two ways to go with your domain name and we have already touched on both of them. You can get a domain name for branding, which is typically your company name and a .com, or you can get a keyword rich domain name that is designed to help you rank higher for a general or specific keyword phrase.\r\n\r\nIf you are running a company and you want to put up a website or blog for your company, then just get your company name with a .com at the end of it. This will make your website very easy to remember and you will be able to use the website in offline and online marketing. You will have more recognition and this is a good thing for your business.\r\n\r\nHowever, if you are an internet marketer or planning to make money online with blogging, article marketing, affiliate marketing, or another form of internet marketing, then you will want to get domain names that are keyword rich. The best domain name for you is going to be one that is designed around a specific keyword phrase.\r\n\r\nWhen you do this the best domain name will be one that will rank you higher on the search engines and bring you a large amount of traffic. Now, the domain name can only do so much for you and you will need to use good search engine optimization, but the domain name is the start of all of it. Here is how you can get the best domain name keyword rich domain for your project.\r\n\r\n1. Keyword Research\r\n\r\nYou need to start by putting together a list of keyword phrases that get a good amount of monthly searches and have medium to low competition. You can use the Google keyword tool for free to find out how many times a keyword phrase gets searched and you can use Google to find out the competition. This is pretty easy to do and you want a keyword phrase that gets at least 1,600 monthly searches and has competition under 500,000.\r\n\r\nWhen you type in a few general terms about your subject in the Google keyword tool it will give you about 100 choices for your keyword phrases. You really want a keyword phrase with over 10,000 monthly searches for your domain name. Then, put the keyword phrase into good with quotations around it to find the competition. Get a list of 5 to 10 good keyword phrases for your domain name.\r\n\r\n2. Find out if the Domain is Available\r\n\r\nType the keyword phrase into Google with the .com extension to see if it comes up. Chances are if it does not come up you can go to a registration site and buy the domain name as a .com right now. However, sometimes it will not show up and it still will not be available. If it is already taken move onto the next one on your list until you find the one that will be your best domain name.\r\n\r\n3. Use Short Words\r\n\r\nIf you cannot get the domain name you want with just the keyword phrase you can add words like \"best\", \"a\", \"top\", and other short words to it to get the best domain name for you with the keyword phrase in it. This is a great way to get a good domain name for your project and you will have a better chance to get the right one for you by using short words with your keyword phrase.\r\n\r\n4. Search other sites\r\n\r\nSometimes if the domain name is taken you can purchase it from the owner on one of the internet marketing forums or on eBay. Some people purchase domain names, develop them, and sell them for a profit. You can take advantage of this to get your domain name and it might already have some traffic coming to it.\r\n\r\n5. Don\'t use Dashed and only .com\r\n\r\nThe best domain name for you will not have any dashes in it and it will be a .com. The only exception to this rule is if you are from Canada and you can get a .ca domain name. If you are not from Canada you need to have a .com if you want to rank high for your keyword phrases. Plus this is the easiest domain name extension to remember.\r\n\r\nA Few Final Thoughts on Having A Really Good Domain for You\r\n\r\nThe last thing you want to do is put in a huge amount of work and find out that your domain name is not all that good. If you have a strong domain name that is no longer than 4 words, in most cases, then you own some internet real estate. As you develop your domain name you will make it more valuable for you and for the future.\r\n\r\nThis is an investment and having the best domain name for you will make a difference in the amount of money you can potentially make now and later. When you decide you are ready to sell the website or blog you have developed you will get more for it if you have the best domain name that you can get for that project.\r\n\r\nValue is very important and you want to have the most valuable domain name for your project. This means you may have to put in some time to do the keyword research and find the right domain name that is not already taken.

In that case, you are making an excellent decision as a webmaster. You will need to write quality articles and then best article directories for backlinks, which will help you with your ranking on the popular search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.\n\nThere are plenty of article directories that you can find online, so one of the biggest challenges will be to find out which ones are the best article directories for backlinks?

Here, you will see what makes the top article directories advantageous and why you should submit your articles in priority to these directories.\n\nWhat to Look For in Article Directories\n\nThe page rank of the directories – This is a score that is given by Google. Search engines determine whether the article directory provides enough useful content to site visitors. A high ranking will be given to a top quality directory. The page rank will vary between 0 and 10 and 10 is the highest. So if you submit your articles to a directory that has a page rank of 10, you will get higher quality backlinks that will be more important in the eyes of Google.\nThe number of pages in the article directory – The higher the number of pages on the directory, the more the PR for each individual page will be diluted. So while you may get quality backlinks, your article will be more difficult to find by a person that is doing a query on Google.\nThe quantity of inbound directory links – The higher the number of inbound links that a directory has, the better it will be ranked. If the directory that you will be submitting to has millions of inbound links, than this is a sign that it is a popular and respected site. Thus, backlinsk that are given by it will be viewed more favorably by search engines such as Google.\n\nBy looking at the preceding factors, you will be able to see just how valuable different article directories are in terms of helping you build backlinks. Remember that the higher the directories are ranked by Google, the better they are, so the top ranked ones are the best article directories for backlinks.\n\nUse them to Your Full Advantage\n\nWhen you submit an article to a directory, you will notice that they will first get some traffic from the directory itself, due to the fact that the best article directories for backlinks already have some traffic coming from people who are looking for articles to be informed on a certain topic or subject. After that, the Google bot will crawl the directory, index the article (thus giving you the possibility of receiving search engine traffic to your article too) and will also create a one way backlink to your own website.\n\nAnother way to leverage the power of the best article directories for backlinks is to submit your articles with submission software that sends them to various directories at the same time.

By giving quality articles to high PR article directories you will get the results that you are after, without wasting any time or money.\n\nWhy is Page Rank so Important?\n\nPage rank is not simply a gimmick that tells you how “popular” or “trendy” a site is. It is actually a method used by Google, which gives a score from 0 to 10 to rate links coming from a certain website.\n\nThe exact scoring method for determining the page rank of a web site is something that only Google knows, as it is part of their overall algorithm that determines how websites are ranked in search results.

You should also look at some other elements, such as how fast they post your articles and the overall quality of the articles in the directory.\n\nChecking the Page Rank\n\nThere are various tools available which can help you check page rank and thus find some high PR article directories.

When you submit your article to high PR article directories with a link back to your site, you will get a link from a reputable directory which will be far more valuable in terms of search engine optimization than a link from some relatively unknown directory that no one uses.\n\nIncreased Visibility – Another excellent advantage that you get when you use high PR article directories is that these directories are ranked quite high in search engines and thus receive a lot of traffic. Since these high PR article directories are very popular, if you write an excellent informative article, it is possible that it will be seen by millions of people who are looking for the information contained in it. As these directories cover various topics, they are also visited by webmasters who are looking for articles that they can publish on their own site.\n\nAs article directories require that anyone that re prints their content keeps the article, including the resource box intact, this means that your article and your link can go viral and can be seen by millions of people who are browsing the web. While there is no guarantee that this will happen, it is always a possibility when you submit your content to reputable high PR article directories.\n\nThese are some of the benefits that you will get when you submit content to high PR article directories.

A few years ago, achieving a great deal of success on the internet could have been accomplished by simply promoting your website on search engines and doing the proper SEO.\n\nNow that these days, social media has significantly increased in popularity and is making quite an impact on people, it is commonly said by online marketing experts that if a business does not put together a presence on social networks, that business will simply get left behind and overtaken by competitors. For this reason, you need to immediately become familiar with the benefits of Twitter for business marketing. Remember, the future success of your business will depend on it.\n\nThere are millions of different individuals that log in to their social networking accounts on a daily basis, so this explains why these sites provide an excellent meeting place for businesses and their prospective customers. You can present your products, as well as provide some information related to your niche in order to establish yourself as an authority. For example, if your business sells car parts, you can post links to car repair articles on your Twitter account. Becoming known as an authority in your niche is one of the best benefits of Twitter for business marketing.\n\nTwitter is slightly different from the majority of other social networking sites, as conversations on it are limited to short messages called “Tweets”. These tweets have a limit of 140 characters, which makes Twitter a micro-blogging platform. In order to see some benefits of Twitter for business, you will need to be rather concise and specific in your messages to your audience.\n\nVarious Benefits of Twitter\n\nWhat you need to know if you want to realize the benefits of Twitter for business is that Twitter is not an advertising platform for you to market on, but rather a social media site where people go to in order to connect with other users and get updated on things that are important for them. They do not go there to be marketed to or sold products. After all, if someone wanted to see advertisements, there are plenty of those everywhere. Everyone who uses Twitter for business purposes needs to be aware of this fact and develop a marketing strategy accordingly.\n\nHere are some of the principal benefits of Twitter for business, which you can leverage on.\n\nUpdates Related to Your Industry – One of the greatest benefits of using Twitter is that you can get updated from others that are involved in your industry. As such, if you are in the IT industry for example, you can follow other IT professionals to get news on the latest developments in the computer industry.\nGreat Source of Big Traffic – The Twitter platform is an excellent source of traffic that can be sent to your website. In order to generate traffic back to your site, you will however need to provide some useful content for your followers. Instead of constantly trying to sell them something or bragging about how your products are the best (people tend to hate that, by the way and will rapidly drop you if you do so), give them some updates about your company or about your industry as a whole. They will then enjoy your Tweets a lot more and would thus be a lot more likely to click on any links that you put in them. While massive traffic is one of the greatest benefits of Twitter for business, it is extremely important that you develop a good strategy to leverage that traffic.\nAbility to Create Awareness of Your Brand – When you use Twitter, you can not only promote your own brand online, but also find out what others have been saying about it. If someone is spreading false information about your products or is dissatisfied with your business, you can use Twitter to respond to their concerns and give them an opportunity to get in touch with you in order to fix any problems that they are having. Remember that running a stable and successful business is not all about selling, selling, selling, selling. You also need to stand behind your products and genuinely care about your customers. One of the benefits of Twitter for business is allowing you to interact with your customers that way.\nSocial Networking – While Twitter is very popular, it is still not as popular like other social networks, for example Facebook. As such, it is possible that not too many people that would be in your target audience would be frequenting Twitter. However, this doesn’t mean that Twitter is useless to you if your current user base doesn’t use it for now. Instead, you can use Twitter to network with other online entrepreneurs, industry leaders and other people that you can exchange valuable and useful information with. This is also one of the nicest benefits of Twitter for business, as you can network with others and thus learn how to run your business better.\n\nFinal Thoughts\n\nThe benefits of Twitter for business that were presented above need to be used by any online entrepreneur due to the fact that there are millions of people who use this social media platform on a daily basis. Twitter is an excellent place where you can share content from your company with others and connect to various other people from around the nation to around the world while you do so.\n\nDon’t let your competitors surpass you! You should definitely include Twitter in your overall online marketing strategy, if you haven’t done so already. You will definitely not regret doing so. Remember the benefits of Twitter for business that were outlined above and how you can tie these in to the success of your business when you are putting together and taking action on your social media marketing strategy.','Some Free Search Engine Optimization Tools You Can Use','','inherit','open','open','','1266-autosave','','','2013-06-13 07:55:38','2013-06-13 11:55:38','',1266,'http://itxdesign.com/1266-autosave/',0,'revision','',0),(1266,1,'2013-06-13 07:51:18','2013-06-13 11:51:18','<img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1267\" alt=\"Search Engine Optimization\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/11409112-seo-concept-with-other-related-words-printed-on-paper.jpg\" width=\"168\" height=\"112\" />Free search engine optimization tools are there on the internet and are made available for any webmaster to take advantage of.

Here, you will see what makes the top article directories advantageous and why you should submit your articles in priority to these directories.\n\nWhat to Look For in Article Directories\n\nThe page rank of the directories – This is a score that is given by Google. Search engines determine whether the article directory provides enough useful content to site visitors. A high ranking will be given to a top quality directory. The page rank will vary between 0 and 10 and 10 is the highest. So if you submit your articles to a directory that has a page rank of 10, you will get higher quality backlinks that will be more important in the eyes of Google.\nThe number of pages in the article directory – The higher the number of pages on the directory, the more the PR for each individual page will be diluted. So while you may get quality backlinks, your article will be more difficult to find by a person that is doing a query on Google.\nThe quantity of inbound directory links – The higher the number of inbound links that a directory has, the better it will be ranked. If the directory that you will be submitting to has millions of inbound links, than this is a sign that it is a popular and respected site. Thus, backlinsk that are given by it will be viewed more favorably by search engines such as Google.\n\nBy looking at the preceding factors, you will be able to see just how valuable different article directories are in terms of helping you build backlinks.

It is actually a method used by Google, which gives a score from 0 to 10 to rate links coming from a certain website.\n\nThe exact scoring method for determining the page rank of a web site is something that only Google knows, as it is part of their overall algorithm that determines how websites are ranked in search results.

You should also look at some other elements, such as how fast they post your articles and the overall quality of the articles in the directory.\n\nChecking the Page Rank\n\nThere are various tools available which can help you check page rank and thus find some high PR article directories.

This will help to build your brand and will help others to recognize what you do and what you are all about. Your offline marketing is important and you have to get a domain name that will fit with it well.\n\nLast, a great domain name can literally put you on the map with the online portion of your business.

You could use a .net or .biz, but these are not going to rank as high and they are not going to be as easy for people to remember when you use them in offline marketing.\n\nYour business is very important and if you don\'t get a top domain name you will not be able to take advantage of every benefits you can get from going online.

This will help to bring you large amounts of traffic that is going to be very highly targeted to what you are doing and what your company is all about.\r\n\r\nAgain, like with the product domains, you can either get many domain names with different keyword phrases or you can use sub domains to help you target other main keyword phrases.

You could use a .net or .biz, but these are not going to rank as high and they are not going to be as easy for people to remember when you use them in offline marketing.\r\n\r\nYour business is very important and if you don\'t get a top domain name you will not be able to take advantage of every benefits you can get from going online.

You will need to write quality articles and then best article directories for backlinks, which will help you with your ranking on the popular search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.\r\n\r\nThere are plenty of article directories that you can find online, so one of the biggest challenges will be to find out which ones are the best article directories for backlinks?

Here, you will see what makes the top article directories advantageous and why you should submit your articles in priority to these directories.\r\n\r\nWhat to Look For in Article Directories\r\n\r\nThe page rank of the directories – This is a score that is given by Google. Search engines determine whether the article directory provides enough useful content to site visitors. A high ranking will be given to a top quality directory. The page rank will vary between 0 and 10 and 10 is the highest. So if you submit your articles to a directory that has a page rank of 10, you will get higher quality backlinks that will be more important in the eyes of Google.\r\nThe number of pages in the article directory – The higher the number of pages on the directory, the more the PR for each individual page will be diluted. So while you may get quality backlinks, your article will be more difficult to find by a person that is doing a query on Google.\r\nThe quantity of inbound directory links – The higher the number of inbound links that a directory has, the better it will be ranked. If the directory that you will be submitting to has millions of inbound links, than this is a sign that it is a popular and respected site. Thus, backlinsk that are given by it will be viewed more favorably by search engines such as Google.\r\n\r\nBy looking at the preceding factors, you will be able to see just how valuable different article directories are in terms of helping you build backlinks. Remember that the higher the directories are ranked by Google, the better they are, so the top ranked ones are the best article directories for backlinks.\r\n\r\nUse them to Your Full Advantage\r\n\r\nWhen you submit an article to a directory, you will notice that they will first get some traffic from the directory itself, due to the fact that the best article directories for backlinks already have some traffic coming from people who are looking for articles to be informed on a certain topic or subject. After that, the Google bot will crawl the directory, index the article (thus giving you the possibility of receiving search engine traffic to your article too) and will also create a one way backlink to your own website.\r\n\r\nAnother way to leverage the power of the best article directories for backlinks is to submit your articles with submission software that sends them to various directories at the same time. The more directories your article will be submitted in, the more backlinks and traffic you will get, but take care to focus primarly on the best article directories for backlinks in order to achieve better results for your backlinking campaign.\r\n\r\nUsing High PR Article Directories to Submit Your Content\r\n\r\nIf you are in search of high PR article directories, then you will simply not have any trouble finding them. Just by doing a quick Google search will reveal a first page full of high quality article directories that you can submit your content to. But if you want to be successful online, it is not necessary for you to submit your articles to all of the directories that you find.\r\n\r\nWhen you deal with high PR article directories, their high page rank means that you will be getting excellent value when submitting your articles and as such, just submitting your articles to a few of these directories will yield excellent results for you. Rather than constantly hunting for new directories to upload your articles to, you should seek out a few of the top ones and submit your articles there consistently. By giving quality articles to high PR article directories you will get the results that you are after, without wasting any time or money.\r\n\r\nWhy is Page Rank so Important?\r\n\r\nPage rank is not simply a gimmick that tells you how “popular” or “trendy” a site is. It is actually a method used by Google, which gives a score from 0 to 10 to rate links coming from a certain website.\r\n\r\nThe exact scoring method for determining the page rank of a web site is something that only Google knows, as it is part of their overall algorithm that determines how websites are ranked in search results. Other search engines also use a similar system that determines how a site will rank in their index, as well as how valuable links given by these sites will be.\r\n\r\nBut remember, that a high PR is not the only thing that you should look for in an article directory. You should also look at some other elements, such as how fast they post your articles and the overall quality of the articles in the directory.\r\n\r\nChecking the Page Rank\r\n\r\nThere are various tools available which can help you check page rank and thus find some high PR article directories. Many different free tools are available for webmasters and internet marketers, but the Google Toolbar is very easy to use, works with various browsers and can be put to use seconds after downloading it.\r\nThe Value Given by Using High PR Article Directories\r\n\r\nThere are many ways in which submitting your articles to some high PR article directories can be beneficial to you. Here are some of them:\r\n\r\nRapid Indexing – A higher quality directory will be visited more often by search engines. When you submit an article that has a link back to your site in the resource box to high PR article directories, your link will be seen by search engines a lot faster.\r\n\r\nMore Valuable Backlinks – Not all backlinks given by websites are the same. When you submit your article to high PR article directories with a link back to your site, you will get a link from a reputable directory which will be far more valuable in terms of search engine optimization than a link from some relatively unknown directory that no one uses.\r\n\r\nIncreased Visibility – Another excellent advantage that you get when you use high PR article directories is that these directories are ranked quite high in search engines and thus receive a lot of traffic. Since these high PR article directories are very popular, if you write an excellent informative article, it is possible that it will be seen by millions of people who are looking for the information contained in it. As these directories cover various topics, they are also visited by webmasters who are looking for articles that they can publish on their own site.\r\n\r\nAs article directories require that anyone that re prints their content keeps the article, including the resource box intact, this means that your article and your link can go viral and can be seen by millions of people who are browsing the web. While there is no guarantee that this will happen, it is always a possibility when you submit your content to reputable high PR article directories.\r\n\r\nThese are some of the benefits that you will get when you submit content to high PR article directories. Remember that these directories are completely free to use, so make the most out of them.\r\n\r\nIf you use article marketing to promote your website, you can automate the whole process by using software which will submit your article automatically to a number of directories. Simply by dealing with 5 to 10 high PR article directories, you can get excellent results in the way or backlinks and traffic.\r\n\r\nThe Benefits of Twitter for Business Marketing\r\n\r\nThere are plenty of businesses these days that are realizing the benefits of Twitter for business marketing. A few years ago, achieving a great deal of success on the internet could have been accomplished by simply promoting your website on search engines and doing the proper SEO.\r\n\r\nNow that these days, social media has significantly increased in popularity and is making quite an impact on people, it is commonly said by online marketing experts that if a business does not put together a presence on social networks, that business will simply get left behind and overtaken by competitors.

In order to generate traffic back to your site, you will however need to provide some useful content for your followers. Instead of constantly trying to sell them something or bragging about how your products are the best (people tend to hate that, by the way and will rapidly drop you if you do so), give them some updates about your company or about your industry as a whole. They will then enjoy your Tweets a lot more and would thus be a lot more likely to click on any links that you put in them. While massive traffic is one of the greatest benefits of Twitter for business, it is extremely important that you develop a good strategy to leverage that traffic.\r\nAbility to Create Awareness of Your Brand – When you use Twitter, you can not only promote your own brand online, but also find out what others have been saying about it. If someone is spreading false information about your products or is dissatisfied with your business, you can use Twitter to respond to their concerns and give them an opportunity to get in touch with you in order to fix any problems that they are having. Remember that running a stable and successful business is not all about selling, selling, selling, selling. You also need to stand behind your products and genuinely care about your customers. One of the benefits of Twitter for business is allowing you to interact with your customers that way.\r\nSocial Networking – While Twitter is very popular, it is still not as popular like other social networks, for example Facebook. As such, it is possible that not too many people that would be in your target audience would be frequenting Twitter. However, this doesn’t mean that Twitter is useless to you if your current user base doesn’t use it for now. Instead, you can use Twitter to network with other online entrepreneurs, industry leaders and other people that you can exchange valuable and useful information with. This is also one of the nicest benefits of Twitter for business, as you can network with others and thus learn how to run your business better.\r\n\r\nFinal Thoughts\r\n\r\nThe benefits of Twitter for business that were presented above need to be used by any online entrepreneur due to the fact that there are millions of people who use this social media platform on a daily basis. Twitter is an excellent place where you can share content from your company with others and connect to various other people from around the nation to around the world while you do so.\r\n\r\nDon’t let your competitors surpass you! You should definitely include Twitter in your overall online marketing strategy, if you haven’t done so already. You will definitely not regret doing so. Remember the benefits of Twitter for business that were outlined above and how you can tie these in to the success of your business when you are putting together and taking action on your social media marketing strategy.','Some Free Search Engine Optimization Tools You Can Use','','inherit','open','open','','1266-revision-2','','','2013-06-13 07:51:18','2013-06-13 11:51:18','',1266,'http://itxdesign.com/1266-revision-2/',0,'revision','',0),(1273,1,'2013-06-13 14:58:19','2013-06-13 18:58:19','<img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1274\" alt=\"servers\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/servers.jpg\" width=\"169\" height=\"126\" />Saving Money with Managed Hosting Solutions\r\nWhen you decide dedicated hosting is necessary for your company, it is important to understand why managed hosted solutions can help you save a large amount of cash. There are many things to consider with dedicated hosting like the type of servers you need, the right size, and how you are going to house, monitor, and manage these servers. Here is what it will cost you to do this in house.\r\n\r\nYou will need to hire an IT Staff, remodel a room that will help to keep your servers secure and running at optimal levels, and you will have to buy the servers. This will all add up like so:\r\n\r\nIT Staff (24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and 366 days on leap years) - At least $150,000 a year\r\nRemodeling for housing your servers - $5,000 - $20,000 one-time cost\r\nBuying the server themselves - $1,500 - $100,000 (depending on the type and size and how many you need.\r\n\r\nThis means you will spend a large amount of cash up front and what you are really doing is taking away money you can use for other things. You are also limiting yourself because the size of the room you remodel will be the amount of space you can have for servers. This means, when you fill it, you are maxed out.\r\n\r\nOn top of all this, you have to pay to train your IT staff, retrain them with every update, and you have to pay for new equipment regularly. This all adds up and you will spend more than most small to medium sized companies can afford. Does this mean you cannot take advantage of dedicated server hosting? Absolutely not, and this is where managed hosted solutions come in.\r\n\r\nUsing Managed Hosted Solutions Properly\r\nWith managed hosted solutions you get the ability to buy or rent servers, house them with colocation hosting, and have them managed, monitored, updated, and maintained by a trained staff of professionals. This is all done for you at a fraction of what you would pay monthly to a staff of employees and for the bills associated with housing your own servers.\r\n\r\nYou have the ability to house as many servers as the company you choose can handle and many of them will sell you servers as you need them. Another thing you can do, if your budget does not support the upfront cost of buying servers, is rent them. This can help you gain all the benefits of dedicated server hosting without the high overhead.\r\n\r\nWhen you are looking for an edge and you know you have to find a way to compete with larger companies, then you need to turn to the managed hosted solutions to help you with your hosting. This will give you more flexibility, better security, and the ability to keep more of your website visitors on your site instead of leaving for a competing site.\r\n\r\nUsing Managed Hosting Solutions to Compete\r\nIt is no secret that dedicated server hosting is the best out there and will give you higher performing websites and blogs. This is the best way to go and if you cannot afford to buy and house your own servers, then you need to consider your other options. The last thing you want to do is end up with hosting that does not give you the full benefits you deserve.\r\n\r\nInstead of settling for low grade hosting that is not made to support you fully, you can choose hosting that will help you in many ways.

Most will choose WordPress because it’s so easy to use and so popular. There are still many webmasters and blogger that have never even heard of Drupal. However, Drupal still has its place in the market, although very small.\r\n\r\nOut of the top one million websites using a content management system of some sort, over 14% use WordPress and only 1.3% use Drupal. This makes a big difference for WordPress users, which is vital to the success of a new website or blog. The difference comes in the way of the community built around WordPress compared to Drupal. If you can’t figure out how to use something in WordPress, you can find plenty of free tutorials to help you figure it out. This isn’t the case with Drupal because the community is so much smaller.\r\n\r\nThose with experience in the world of content management systems know the massive benefits of WordPress compared to Drupal. When looking at Drupal vs. WordPress, it’s easy for experienced web developers to see why WordPress is the most popular CMS in the world. However, for those without much experience, it’s important to show the proof and help you choose the right CMS for your website/blog.\r\n\r\nThe easiest way to show that WordPress is the better choice is to look at a few different areas including:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Features</li>\r\n	<li>Plug-ins/Themes</li>\r\n	<li>Usability</li>\r\n	<li>Customization</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n[one_half]<h3>Why is WordPress the Better CMS Choice?</h3>\r\nOnce you start building your first website/blog with WordPress, you’ll see why so many people choose it for their CMS. It’s by far the easiest of the popular content management systems to use and perfect for anybody looking to run a blog or a blog/website combination. Adding posts, pages, images and other types of content is very easy and the technology behind it is very simple.\r\n\r\nSince WordPress is a browser-based program, you can login from any computer and manage your site from anywhere. This makes it very easy for a blogger that travels or a business person on the go. You won’t need to understand how to write HTML or use FTP because it’s not necessary. WordPress provides you with all the tools you need and the search engines absolutely love WordPress websites.\r\nCompared to Drupal, WordPress is easier to learn and most will learn how to use the system much faster. Drupal is more technical and doesn’t give you all the easy-to-use tools. You get a blog built into your website with WordPress, which makes it very easy to start adding content immediately.\r\n\r\nAlong with all the benefits that come along with WordPress, your site will be 100% customizable with the thousands of free and paid themes, plugins and other tools. Users can even create profiles with limited access for authors, contributors and others providing work on the site. Some of the top sites using WordPress include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Ebay</li>\r\n	<li>Yahoo</li>\r\n	<li>Digg</li>\r\n	<li>Wall Street Journal</li>\r\n	<li>Ford</li>\r\n	<li>People Magazine</li>\r\n	<li>Sony</li>\r\n	<li>Playstation</li>\r\n	<li>Samsung</li>\r\n	<li>New York Times</li>\r\n	<li>Mozilla Firefox</li>\r\n	<li>And Many More!</li>\r\n</ul>[/one_half][one_half_last]<h3>Why Would Someone Choose Drupal?</h3>\r\nThere are many reasons to choose Drupal over any other CMS option. The system itself provides a clean look with many high quality modules making it easy to build a website and manage your content. It’s built for high performance with built-in caching, scalable databases and InnoDB default. You can even integrate many third party applications with SOAP, REST and JSON.\r\nThe main reason for choosing Drupal over WordPress is the security, SEO benefits and management ability. Some of the larger sites that choose Drupal for their website include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Amherst College</li>\r\n	<li>Digett</li>\r\n	<li>Popular Science</li>\r\n	<li>Warner Brothers Records</li>\r\n	<li>Symantec Connect</li>\r\n	<li>Examiner</li>\r\n	<li>The Economist</li>\r\n	<li>The White House</li>\r\n	<li>And Many More!</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nEven though it’s clear that WordPress has a much larger community around it than Drupal, there are still thousands of developers and over 8,000 modules to choose from. It’s not a small community, it’s just small in comparison.[/one_half_last]\r\n\r\n<h3>The Feature Battle – WordPress vs. Drupal</h3>\r\nWordPress makes it super easy to use the thousands of great features. You can control everything from your dashboard and it’s very similar to many other free blogging systems. Many features for SEO and blogging are already built into the system and you can customize just about every part of the system, if you want.\r\nDrupal gives you plenty of features, but you have to create custom features yourself. If you look at the feature page from drupal.org and you find it very confusing, you’re not alone. It’s not exactly beginner friendly, but for those that understand how to use the features, it’s very powerful.\r\n<h3>Plug-ins and Themes</h3>\r\nWhen looking at Drupal vs. WordPress and zooming in on the plug-ins, it’s pretty easy to see which CMS offers more. WordPress offers nearly 15,000 plug-ins, whereas Drupal provides just over 8,000, which they call modules. Does this number really matter? Yes, it does because with more options, you can gain many added benefits.\r\n\r\nThe number of themes provides by both is about the same ratio. WordPress provides nearly 1,400 themes, which doesn’t include the custom themes you can have designed for you, whereas Drupal give you 885 choices. Many of the WordPress themes provide options making each theme customizable into many different theme choices.\r\n<h3>Is Wordpress Easier to Use than Drupal?</h3>\r\nDrupal isn’t hard to use, but it’s harder to learn how to use it than WordPress. With the massive community of WordPress users, you can easily find the answer to your questions, whereas Drupal doesn’t have the same large user base or resources. Drupal is for the experienced user, whereas WordPress allows both beginners and advanced users plenty of easy-to-use options.\r\n<h3>Customization – WordPress vs. Drupal</h3>\r\nCustomizing your blog or website is very important. Most of the customization is done through the theme and plug-ins or modules. With WordPress, you gain a ton of options for customizing your site. This gives you more control and some of the premium themes let you change every single part of the site, if necessary.\r\n\r\nDrupal gives you plenty of customization, as well, but it seems to be easier to use WordPress when you want to change colors, add images, change the layout, add sidebars and more. Many of the tools provides by WordPress make it much easier than the options given to users of Drupal.\r\n<h3>Other Things to Consider</h3>\r\nWhen looking at WordPress vs Drupal, you can look at many of other numbers to understand why WordPress is the better choice. The size of the community makes a big difference, which WordPress has a community much larger than Drupal. WordPress has over 100,000 Twitter followers and over 250,000 Facebook fans, whereas Drupal only has 21,000 Twitter followers and about 20,000 Facebook fans.\r\n\r\nWhen looking at the total number of users, it’s clear WordPress is much larger. Drupal takes about 1.6% of the top million websites using a CMS, while WordPress takes 14.3%. This just goes to show how large the support community is for WordPress compared to Drupal.\r\n<h3>The Bottom Line</h3>\r\nWith better SEO, more features, a larger community and an easier platform for beginners, it’s clear that the winner between Drupal vs. WordPress is WordPress. This CMS wins in every category and the numbers don’t lie. It’s preferred by more user than any other CMS for many reasons.\r\n\r\nWhen you choose the top CMS online today, you get the best possible platform for your website and blog. Of course, Drupal has its place and there’s a reason why some of the top sites choose Drupal over WordPress. However, many other large sites, such as The Ford Story, WSJ.com, Time and MTV Newsroom.\r\n\r\nIf you’re an advanced user, Drupal might be the better choice, but WordPress gives you far better options and a larger community. Beginners should certainly choose WordPress and most advanced users will prefer the customization of WordPress over Drupal.\r\n\r\nWhenever comparing the foundation of your website, you need to look at all the features, capabilities and the ease of use. If you plan to manage the site yourself, it’s important to choose the CMS best fit with your skills. Those without much technical knowledge will fit best with WordPress. Drupal has its advantages, but it’s harder to learn and requires a certain technical knowledge to grasp.\r\n\r\nThe majority of blog owners and webmasters use WordPress because Google, Yahoo and Bing absolutely love WordPress sites. They prefer a clean site that’s easy for the user to navigate. WordPress provides exactly that type of site with full customization.\r\nAlong with the many benefits of using WordPress, hiring a designer to create a WordPress site is far cheaper than a Drupal site. Drupal sites usually run well over $1,000, whereas a good WordPress site will only cost a few hundred dollars. The debate between WordPress vs. Drupal isn’t a contest and for 95% of users, WordPress is the correct choice.','WordPress vs Drupal – A Clear Choice for the Majority of Websites','','inherit','open','closed','','4452-revision-v1','','','2014-01-20 10:46:24','2014-01-20 15:46:24','',4452,'http://itxdesign.com/4452-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1398,1,'2013-06-27 22:51:58','2013-06-28 02:51:58','We recently launched our new website at ITXDesign.com that features our new line of VPS Servers, Dedicated Servers, and Shared Web Hosting Plans.  After the launch we were tasked with quickly optimizing the site to take advantage of some of the latest optimization and caching tools.  The first thing you should do before making any changes to your website is test the site using webpagetest.org.  This will allow you to establish a benchmark on where your test ranks.  Run the test:\r\n\r\nWhen we first ran the test we had very low rankings for:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>First Byte Time</li>\r\n	<li>Compress Transfer</li>\r\n	<li>Compress Images</li>\r\n	<li>Progressive JPEGs</li>\r\n	<li>Cache static content</li>\r\n	<li>Effective use of CDN</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nOur goal was to get all A\'s since we\'re over achievers, however it wasn\'t an easy task.  Our visitors appreciate a fast loading website so we began the process of speeding things up.\r\n\r\nThis tutorial is primarily for Wordpress Websites as that\'s what we use for our corporate sites.\r\n\r\nStep 1.  We installed and configured WP Super Cache.  To complete the install login to your worpdress admin, click Plugins, and then search for \"WP Super Cache\".  Click the install and the activate the plugin.  This alone will address a lot of the issues.  Once the install is complete go to the settings for the plugin, Click the Easy tab, and then select \"On\" caching.  Then Click Update Status.  After this we would suggest clicking the Advanced Tab and be sure to select the following options:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Cache hits to this website for quick access. (Recommended)</li>\r\n	<li>Use mod_rewrite to serve cache files. (Recommended)</li>\r\n	<li>Compress pages so they’re served more quickly to visitors. (Recommended)</li>\r\n	<li>Cache rebuild. Serve a supercache file to anonymous users while a new file is being generated. (Recommended)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThen Click Update Status\r\n\r\nThis will enable the WP Super Cache Plugin, however there\'s still one more step.  After applying these changes you must click Update Mod_Rewrite Rules.  This will update your .htaccess file automatically with all of the caching directives so caching is enabled.\r\n\r\nThis step really helps with the <strong>First Byte Time </strong>and<strong> Compress Images</strong>.  It causes your website to create a cache version of each of your dynamic pages.  In other words it speeds up the first response from the server since it doesn\'t happen to make multiple mysql calls and generate the page on the fly.  Once you\'ve completed all of this it\'s time to go to webpagetest.org again and run another test.  First you should open your website homepage in your browser to ensure the cache is generated.  Then run the second test and grab a cup of coffee.\r\n\r\n<strong>Setting Up MaxCDN With WP Super Cache In Wordpress</strong>\r\n\r\nTo resolve the rest of the optimization issues we would suggest setting up a CDN account with <a href=\"http://tracking.maxcdn.com/c/60075/3968/378\">Max CDN</a></h3><img height=\"1\" width=\"1\" src=\"http://tracking.maxcdn.com/i/60075/3968/378\" />.

Choose a Great Hosting Company</h5>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4345\" alt=\"choose a great hosting company\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/great-hosting.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" />\r\nIf you want to set yourself up for success from the beginning, you need to choose a top hosting company to provide you with your reseller hosting. This will make a difference and will allow you to get the support you need as well as passing it on to your own hosting clients. Take the time to research all the choices and get a company that has a great reputation for providing top-notch <a title=\"Reseller Hosting\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/reseller-hosting/\">reseller</a> hosting.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]<h5>2. Treat it like a Business</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/treat-it-as-business.jpg\" alt=\"treat it as a business\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4346\" />\r\nProbably the biggest mistake anybody makes when they are trying to make money online is they don’t treat what they are doing like a business. It is more like a gamble and a chance they are taking. You are not scratching a lottery ticket and there will not be any instant winnings. You have to put in the work to make sure your clients are taken care of and to market your services, so that you have clients to take care of.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]<h5>3. Sell Websites with Hosting</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/sell-sites-2-sell-hosting1.jpg\" alt=\"sell websites with hosting\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4348\" />\r\nOne of the best ways to get clients and market your web hosting reseller package is to build a website and sell it along with hosting. Many people want to buy websites that are already making money and if they buy the website, they are going to need hosting. Offer a free month of hosting and give them an offer on a year’s worth of hosting from there, they can’t resist.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]<h5>4. Set Goals and Put Together a Plan</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/goals-and-plan.jpg\" alt=\"Set goals and put together a plan\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4349\" />\r\nPart of treating your web hosting reseller business as an actual business is to set goals you can achieve and put together a plan of action. If you don’t have a plan, then chances are you will never get to where you want to go. An online income is not going to just show up at your doorstep and start crawling into your pocket. You have to take action and create it.[/one_quarter_last]\r\n<div class=\"start-empire4\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n[abutton color=\"green\" link=\"https://itxdesign.com/billing/cart.php\"]SIGN UP[/abutton]\r\n</div>','Starting a Web Hosting Reseller Business','','inherit','open','closed','','4336-revision-v1','','','2014-01-16 10:19:46','2014-01-16 18:19:46','',4336,'http://itxdesign.com/4336-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1286,1,'2013-04-16 19:33:46','2013-04-16 23:33:46','<strong>Web Hosting Company Acquisitions</strong>\r\n<p>ITX Design is a privately owned Corporation specializing in website hosting and 24/7/365 technical support.

Most will choose WordPress because it’s so easy to use and so popular. There are still many webmasters and blogger that have never even heard of Drupal. However, Drupal still has its place in the market, although very small.\r\n\r\nOut of the top one million websites using a content management system of some sort, over 14% use WordPress and only 1.3% use Drupal. This makes a big difference for WordPress users, which is vital to the success of a new website or blog. The difference comes in the way of the community built around WordPress compared to Drupal. If you can’t figure out how to use something in WordPress, you can find plenty of free tutorials to help you figure it out. This isn’t the case with Drupal because the community is so much smaller.\r\n\r\nThose with experience in the world of content management systems know the massive benefits of WordPress compared to Drupal. When looking at Drupal vs. WordPress, it’s easy for experienced web developers to see why WordPress is the most popular CMS in the world. However, for those without much experience, it’s important to show the proof and help you choose the right CMS for your website/blog.\r\n\r\nThe easiest way to show that WordPress is the better choice is to look at a few different areas including:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Features</li>\r\n	<li>Plug-ins/Themes</li>\r\n	<li>Usability</li>\r\n	<li>Customization</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n[one_half]<h3 style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Why is WordPress the Better CMS Choice?</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Wordpress-logo.png\" alt=\"WordPress\" width=\"364\" height=\"83\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4460\" style=\"border:0;padding:0\" />\r\nOnce you start building your first website/blog with WordPress, you’ll see why so many people choose it for their CMS. It’s by far the easiest of the popular content management systems to use and perfect for anybody looking to run a blog or a blog/website combination. Adding posts, pages, images and other types of content is very easy and the technology behind it is very simple.\r\n\r\nSince WordPress is a browser-based program, you can login from any computer and manage your site from anywhere. This makes it very easy for a blogger that travels or a business person on the go. You won’t need to understand how to write HTML or use FTP because it’s not necessary. WordPress provides you with all the tools you need and the search engines absolutely love WordPress websites.\r\nCompared to Drupal, WordPress is easier to learn and most will learn how to use the system much faster. Drupal is more technical and doesn’t give you all the easy-to-use tools. You get a blog built into your website with WordPress, which makes it very easy to start adding content immediately.\r\n\r\nAlong with all the benefits that come along with WordPress, your site will be 100% customizable with the thousands of free and paid themes, plugins and other tools. Users can even create profiles with limited access for authors, contributors and others providing work on the site. Some of the top sites using WordPress include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Ebay</li>\r\n	<li>Yahoo</li>\r\n	<li>Digg</li>\r\n	<li>Wall Street Journal</li>\r\n	<li>Ford</li>\r\n	<li>People Magazine</li>\r\n	<li>Sony</li>\r\n	<li>Playstation</li>\r\n	<li>Samsung</li>\r\n	<li>New York Times</li>\r\n	<li>Mozilla Firefox</li>\r\n	<li>And Many More!</li>\r\n</ul>[/one_half][one_half_last]<h3 style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Why Would Someone Choose Drupal?</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/drupal-logo.png\" alt=\"Drupal\" width=\"383\" height=\"96\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4461\" style=\"border:0;padding:0\" />There are many reasons to choose Drupal over any other CMS option. The system itself provides a clean look with many high quality modules making it easy to build a website and manage your content. It’s built for high performance with built-in caching, scalable databases and InnoDB default. You can even integrate many third party applications with SOAP, REST and JSON.\r\nThe main reason for choosing Drupal over WordPress is the security, SEO benefits and management ability. Some of the larger sites that choose Drupal for their website include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Amherst College</li>\r\n	<li>Digett</li>\r\n	<li>Popular Science</li>\r\n	<li>Warner Brothers Records</li>\r\n	<li>Symantec Connect</li>\r\n	<li>Examiner</li>\r\n	<li>The Economist</li>\r\n	<li>The White House</li>\r\n	<li>And Many More!</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nEven though it’s clear that WordPress has a much larger community around it than Drupal, there are still thousands of developers and over 8,000 modules to choose from. It’s not a small community, it’s just small in comparison.[/one_half_last]</div>\r\n\r\n<h3>The Feature Battle – WordPress vs. Drupal</h3>\r\nWordPress makes it super easy to use the thousands of great features. You can control everything from your dashboard and it’s very similar to many other free blogging systems. Many features for SEO and blogging are already built into the system and you can customize just about every part of the system, if you want.\r\nDrupal gives you plenty of features, but you have to create custom features yourself. If you look at the feature page from drupal.org and you find it very confusing, you’re not alone. It’s not exactly beginner friendly, but for those that understand how to use the features, it’s very powerful.\r\n<h3>Plug-ins and Themes</h3>\r\nWhen looking at Drupal vs. WordPress and zooming in on the plug-ins, it’s pretty easy to see which CMS offers more. WordPress offers nearly 15,000 plug-ins, whereas Drupal provides just over 8,000, which they call modules. Does this number really matter? Yes, it does because with more options, you can gain many added benefits.\r\n\r\nThe number of themes provides by both is about the same ratio. WordPress provides nearly 1,400 themes, which doesn’t include the custom themes you can have designed for you, whereas Drupal give you 885 choices. Many of the WordPress themes provide options making each theme customizable into many different theme choices.\r\n<h3>Is Wordpress Easier to Use than Drupal?</h3>\r\nDrupal isn’t hard to use, but it’s harder to learn how to use it than WordPress. With the massive community of WordPress users, you can easily find the answer to your questions, whereas Drupal doesn’t have the same large user base or resources. Drupal is for the experienced user, whereas WordPress allows both beginners and advanced users plenty of easy-to-use options.\r\n<h3>Customization – WordPress vs. Drupal</h3>\r\nCustomizing your blog or website is very important. Most of the customization is done through the theme and plug-ins or modules. With WordPress, you gain a ton of options for customizing your site. This gives you more control and some of the premium themes let you change every single part of the site, if necessary.\r\n\r\nDrupal gives you plenty of customization, as well, but it seems to be easier to use WordPress when you want to change colors, add images, change the layout, add sidebars and more. Many of the tools provides by WordPress make it much easier than the options given to users of Drupal.\r\n<h3>Other Things to Consider</h3>\r\nWhen looking at WordPress vs Drupal, you can look at many of other numbers to understand why WordPress is the better choice. The size of the community makes a big difference, which WordPress has a community much larger than Drupal. WordPress has over 100,000 Twitter followers and over 250,000 Facebook fans, whereas Drupal only has 21,000 Twitter followers and about 20,000 Facebook fans.\r\n\r\nWhen looking at the total number of users, it’s clear WordPress is much larger. Drupal takes about 1.6% of the top million websites using a CMS, while WordPress takes 14.3%. This just goes to show how large the support community is for WordPress compared to Drupal.\r\n<h3>The Bottom Line</h3>\r\nWith better SEO, more features, a larger community and an easier platform for beginners, it’s clear that the winner between Drupal vs. WordPress is WordPress. This CMS wins in every category and the numbers don’t lie. It’s preferred by more user than any other CMS for many reasons.\r\n\r\nWhen you choose the top CMS online today, you get the best possible platform for your website and blog. Of course, Drupal has its place and there’s a reason why some of the top sites choose Drupal over WordPress. However, many other large sites, such as The Ford Story, WSJ.com, Time and MTV Newsroom.\r\n\r\nIf you’re an advanced user, Drupal might be the better choice, but WordPress gives you far better options and a larger community. Beginners should certainly choose WordPress and most advanced users will prefer the customization of WordPress over Drupal.\r\n\r\nWhenever comparing the foundation of your website, you need to look at all the features, capabilities and the ease of use. If you plan to manage the site yourself, it’s important to choose the CMS best fit with your skills. Those without much technical knowledge will fit best with WordPress. Drupal has its advantages, but it’s harder to learn and requires a certain technical knowledge to grasp.\r\n\r\nThe majority of blog owners and webmasters use WordPress because Google, Yahoo and Bing absolutely love WordPress sites. They prefer a clean site that’s easy for the user to navigate. WordPress provides exactly that type of site with full customization.\r\nAlong with the many benefits of using WordPress, hiring a designer to create a WordPress site is far cheaper than a Drupal site. Drupal sites usually run well over $1,000, whereas a good WordPress site will only cost a few hundred dollars. The debate between WordPress vs. Drupal isn’t a contest and for 95% of users, WordPress is the correct choice.','WordPress vs Drupal – A Clear Choice for the Majority of Websites','','inherit','open','closed','','4452-revision-v1','','','2014-01-20 10:49:18','2014-01-20 15:49:18','',4452,'http://itxdesign.com/4452-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1520,1,'2013-07-16 17:10:28','2013-07-16 21:10:28','<img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1515\" alt=\"wordpress-block\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/wordpress-block.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" />If you are searching for premium WordPress website templates you will have no difficulty if you search on any of the search engines on the Internet. Your search will reveal a large number of sites that are offering some very attractive premium themes, some are free and others are offered for a fee.   These templates are available in the hundreds and your only difficulty would be to decide which ones will be suitable for your purposes.\n\nSelecting premium WordPress website templates, whether free or paid,  must be done carefully. There are some scam sites that will offer low quality templates at high prices and you may be subjecting yourself to getting a virus when dealing with them. Look for affordable and reasonably prices templates, but be certain to research a lot of sites before you make your selection.\n\n<strong>Free Premium Templates vs. Paid Premium Templates</strong>\nIn your search for premium WordPress website templates, you will see a wide variety of free templates, paid templates and also customized templates that can be designed to your specific order.  The first decision you will have to make is which of these three types of templates should be considered.\n\nIf you are operating on a budget and have no money to spend on templates, then the decision would be obvious and you would stick with the free versions.  But that does not mean that you will have to settle for a low quality template, because free does not necessarily mean they are no good. Do your due diligence and you will find attractive free templates that meet your needs.  However, if you can spend some money on templates, you will need to set a budget and choose from those templates that will fall within your budget.\n\nThe good news is that the availability of good templates are not only restricted to those that are being offered at a very high price. The competition among web developers is so high, given the large number of them competing on the Internet, that their prices have become very affordable for almost anyone. Premium WordPress website templates vary in price from $10 to several hundred dollars.\n\nPremium templates have a lot to offer in terms of their presentation quality, the ability to further customize them and also their attractive look and feel. But the free templates are still a good option for a webmaster not able to afford to pay for the good appearance of a website.\n\n<strong>Can Premium WordPress Templates Boost Traffic and Sales?</strong>\nThere is no doubt that the brilliant eye catching graphics and pictures, and the outstanding styles of some of these premium templates, for example the magazine style, will draw a visitor to the site, but will that alone boost the traffic and generate more sales for the website?\n\nCertainly the traffic will increase and as a result the number of sales could definitely increase, but the one truth of a good website is the valuable and useful content that it provides for its visitors. Having drawn in the visitors with an attractive premium WordPress template, some work will need to be done to keep them coming back and generating additional sales through your site.\n\nYour targeted audience will need to see that your site is regularly updated with information that helps them solve their problems, or gives them advice that would assist them with coping with issues in their lives. It all comes down to identifying you audience’s needs and giving to them what they want. So while the premium WordPress website templates may have served a purpose in initially boosting the traffic and sales to the site, the work of providing valuable content will be what keeps that momentum going.\n\nWhen looking for premium WordPress website templates, you will find a nice variety available that include both free and paid versions. The choice you make will depend on your budget considerations, but choosing free does not necessarily mean that you will be selecting a low quality product. Also, what must be always remembered is that the main and most important feature of a website is not the look of the site, but the quality and relevance of the content it provides to its readers.\n\n<strong>Spruce Your Blog up with Premium WordPress Magazine Themes</strong>\n\nPremium WordPress Themes – What are the facts?\nWordPress is the CMS that is most favorably considered for the creation of blogs and websites and is unlike Joomla, Blogger and Drupal platforms in that they are easy to work with and allow the use of a large number of different plugins. There are a number of themes created for WordPress including free themes, and paid themes such as the premium WordPress magazine themes.\n\nTypically most webmasters will use the WordPress platform to create blogs for their use, but this platform can be customized to create a WordPress magazine style website with the use of magazine style themes. These magazine themes are available in both free versions and also paid versions.\n\nWhether the use of a premium WordPress magazine theme is the right one for your website will depend on the use you will be putting to the site. For use as a hobby site or as a site that you will be sharing with family and friends, the money spent on the site may not be justified. However, if the site is being used to generate revenue, it will certainly create a great impact on potential customers and clients and may justify the cost to acquire the themes.\n\nIt is important to realize however, that while a good-looking site could be a great asset and may make the business look very professional, the valuable content on the site is the most important factor. So regardless of how the site actually looks, the valuable and useful content will be the draw for customers and clients to return to the site again and again.\n\n<strong>Facts about Premium WordPress Magazine Themes</strong>\nWith premium magazine WordPress themes you will be provided with very high quality graphics and CSS designs.\nDetailed tutorials on the use of the theme and attention would be given to the customization that can be done on the site.\nOngoing and unlimited support will be provided for the users of the themes and often a forum is created with users interacting and supporting others, and usually moderators are present for support also.\nUpdates to the themes will be communicated and made available to users.\nPaid premium themes offer a great deal of customization such as the modifications to the header, the images the color and the icons on the site.\nThese themes are usually very highly search engine optimized and come with state of the art smart designs and coding so that the search engines will easily see the content.\nThe cost of premium themes may run from $10.00 to as much as a few hundred dollars.\nWhile the above feature will always apply to a paid premium magazine WordPress site, some of them may also apply to free themes.\n\n<strong>Features of a Premium Magazine theme?</strong>\nThe typical feature of premium WordPress magazine themes is the presence of the featured posts. These are located either on the home page or in the side bar of the site and the purpose of these is to display listings of the articles on the site.\nThey may or may not include excerpts of the articles. Depending on the actual theme, the listings may contain the flexibility to be arranged in an unlimited number of groupings – these may be in the form of menus or in the form of categories.\nThese factors provide a greater control of the content of the website and the way that content is displayed.\nA noticeable characteristic of the magazine style is the use of images. These are responsible for the attractiveness and impact of these themes, and thumbnails are often used to display with the featured posts that appear in the sidebars or on the home page.\n\nThe premium WordPress magazine themes are high quality, stylish and unique designs. They are available as free or paid themes and whether the free or the paid version is appropriate for your site will ultimately depend on the use you will put to the site. However, regardless of the reason you use the theme, the most important thing about a website is not how attractive and skillful it looks, but the value of the content that it provides.','Premium WordPress Website Templates For Your New Blog','','inherit','open','open','','1514-autosave','','','2013-07-16 17:10:28','2013-07-16 21:10:28','',1514,'http://itxdesign.com/1514-autosave/',0,'revision','',0),(4361,3,'2014-01-16 10:27:04','2014-01-16 18:27:04','<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4340\" style=\"border: 0; padding: 0;\" alt=\"Starting a Web Hosting Reseller Business\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/starting-a-web-hosting-reseller-business.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"200\" />\r\n<h3>Why Can a Web Hosting Reseller Business be Successful?</h3>\r\nWhen you want to make money online, you can start by creating a <a title=\"Reseller Hosting\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/reseller-hosting/\">web hosting reseller business</a>.

If you’re a beginner, you probably don’t have a clue when it comes to coding and that’s okay. You can use a CMS or content management system, such as Joomla or WordPress for your website design.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of a CMS is the ability to create a website with a blog all on the same domain name. This type of system allows you to create a design from a theme or template, manage your content and take care of everything else necessary. Of course, with anything new, there’s a learning curve.\r\n\r\nIf you’ve been scouring the web looking for a good review about WordPress vs. Joomla, you’ve probably found the same thing over and over again. For beginners, the majority, bloggers and most webmasters, WordPress is the right choice. However, for the technical crowd, Joomla might be a better choice. These are both very powerful <a href=\"https://itxdesign.com/software-application-battles/\">CMS choices</a>, but most people need the easier to use system provided by WordPress.\r\n\r\nThose still trying to make the right decision need to understand a few things about each system. Most hosting companies give you access to both free of charge, so it’s not a matter of how much each one costs, but if you do plan to hire a designer, you will need to look at the cost for each. Not only is it important to consider the cost and the time investment when it comes to WordPress vs. Joomla, but it’s also important to look at a few other important aspects.\r\n<h3>How Similar Are WordPress and Joomla?</h3>\r\nFive years ago, writing about <a href=\"https://itxdesign.com/wordpress-hosting/\">WordPress Hosting</a> vs. Joomla Hosting would have been far different. Both systems have grown and provide a much more similar experience than they used to. When looking at the features of each, it’s easy to see how similar these two systems are for the end user.\r\n\r\nThe competition between the two has benefited the users greatly. Due to the close competition, Joomla and WordPress have evolved to provide the same benefits, which were once missing from each system. One isn’t light years ahead of the other anymore and that’s an important thing to understand when choosing your CMS.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">[one_half]\r\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 24px;\">The Pros of Choosing WordPress</h3>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4416\" style=\"border: 0; padding: 0;\" alt=\"WordPress\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Wordpress-logo.png\" width=\"364\" height=\"83\" />\r\nWith the ability to provide both a website and a blog, this is one of the most powerful CMS choices out there. You can create multiple profiles for authors, manage massive amounts of content and enjoy the many themes and plugins for customization. WordPress also provides a very easy to use interface with straightforward features anybody can figure out.[/one_half][one_half_last]\r\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 24px;\">The Pros of Choosing Joomla</h3>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4415\" style=\"border: 0; padding: 0;\" alt=\"Joomla\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/joomla-logo.png\" width=\"371\" height=\"93\" />\r\nChoosing Joomla will give you a powerful interface that’s pretty easy for the user. It’s designed for easy management of a large amount of articles, as well. Additionally, <a href=\"https://itxdesign.com/joomla-hosting/\">Joomla hosting</a> is very popular and it’s easy to find a cost efficient web hosting company that supports Joomla.[/one_half_last]\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<h3>Tutorials, Guides and Free Resources</h3>\r\nBoth Joomla and WordPress have plenty of great resources to help you learn how to use the system. However, due to the size of the WordPress community, there are far more resources for those using this CMS compared to Joomla. It’s easy to find answers to your questions within the community and outside the actual WordPress support forum. Many themes come with their own forum if you need help with specific features.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://itxdesign.com/joomla-hosting/\">Joomla</a> web hosting has quite a bit of support, as well, but the community is very small compared to WordPress. With fewer users, there’s just not the massive amount of material available for beginners to browse. You won’t find nearly as many videos, guides and tutorials to help with the inner workings of Joomla compared to WordPress.\r\n\r\nWordPress easily wins in this category for beginners.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4421\" style=\"border: 0; padding: 0;\" alt=\"WordPress vs Joomla Market Share\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/wordpress-vs-joomla-market-share.png\" width=\"484\" height=\"498\" />\r\n<h3>WordPress vs. Joomla Price Comparison</h3>\r\nIf you plan to pay someone to design your site, but you want to manage it after the initial design, you need to understand the cost for both Joomla and WordPress. When looking at designers, it’s easier to find a designer for a WordPress site because of the popularity. It’s also much less expensive.\r\n\r\nMost designers will handle your WordPress site design for less than $500, depending on the size. However, if you choose a designer capable of using Joomla, expect to pay more than $1,000 for your design.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to price, WordPress is cheaper and wins in this area, as well.\r\n<h3>Which is Better for a Blogger?</h3>\r\nOne of the major differences between Joomla and WordPress is how they are set up. WordPress started as a blog platform and has evolved into a blog platform capable of acting as a full CMS. However, Joomla started as a traditional CMS and has added features to allow for blogging.\r\n\r\nWith that said, there’s no debate with Joomla vs. <a href=\"https://itxdesign.com/wordpress-hosting/\">WordPress for bloggers</a>, WordPress wins. If you plan to use your website as a blog, you want WordPress, not Joomla.\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4417\" style=\"border: 0; padding: 0; margin-top: 30px;\" alt=\"WordPress vs Joomla\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/wordpress-vs-joomla.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"95\" />\r\n<h3>WordPress vs. Joomla for Internet Marketing</h3>\r\nBuilding landing pages, creating an authority site and using your website for internet marketing requires the right CMS. Beginners to the internet marketing world will spend far more time trying to learn and use Joomla than building landing pages. With WordPress, you can build your landing pages much faster and easier. Joomla is great for landing pages, but it takes longer to learn how to create these pages.\r\n\r\nFor beginners in the world of internet marketing, WordPress is the better choice.\r\n<h3>WordPress vs. Joomla - Is One Better Than The Other?</h3>\r\nWhen looking at WordPress vs. Joomla, one is certainly better than the other. Joomla is still considered one of the big three CMS choices, but hasn’t really decided on a direction. WordPress is the easier to use system with massive SEO benefits, whereas Joomla is about in the middle of everything. Drupal is the other of the big three and provides great customization targeted at developers.\r\n\r\nFor the majority of users, WordPress is the easier system to learn and provides the ability to do more without a large time investment. However, Joomla has come a long way and many large sites still use Joomla.\r\n<h3>What it Really Comes Down to with WordPress vs. Joomla</h3>\r\nThe choice between these two very popular CMS options mainly comes down to what you plan to do and how you want to accomplish your tasks. Sometimes one CMS is better than the other for specific types of websites or blogs, while other times it’s just a personal preference.\r\n\r\nDoing it yourself is easier with WordPress, unless you’re an experienced developer. When it comes to developers, they all have their own preference. Many will tell you one system isn’t better than the other, but they do provide you with different benefits.\r\n\r\nJoomla comes with a steeper learning curve than WordPress, which makes WordPress the right choice for beginners. WordPress also makes it a little easier to manage multiple users. However, if you’re trying to manage thousands of articles on your blog or website, Joomla does provide some options to make it easier.\r\n\r\nThe choice may come down to what your developer prefers or the interface you prefer. Both WordPress and Joomla provide free demos to give you an idea of what the interface looks like and how it works. Try both, compare them and choose the one you like best if you’re not sure which to choose when looking at WordPress vs. Joomla.\r\n[one_half]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4419\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"400\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-4419\" alt=\"WordPress Admin Panel\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/wp-admin.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"194\" /> WordPress Admin Panel[/caption]\r\n\r\n[/one_half][one_half_last]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4420\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"400\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-4420\" alt=\"Joomla Admin Panel\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/joomla-admin.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"194\" /> Joomla Admin Panel[/caption]\r\n\r\n[/one_half_last]\r\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: -15px;\">The Right Choice for the Beginner</h3>\r\nAfter evaluating your needs and looking at what you plan to use your website/blog for, most of the time, WordPress will be the better choice compared to Joomla. In every category, Joomla vs. WordPress shows a clear winner for beginners. This isn’t because WordPress is just far better than Joomla because Joomla fits in certain areas. However, for the beginner, Joomla will take much longer to learn and many beginners will find it confusing.\r\n\r\nWordPress is a clean and easy system to use. Beginners can get started very quickly and will be able to create a website/blog much faster. If you plan to design and/or manage your site without help, choose WordPress for your CMS needs.\r\n<div class=\"start-empire3\" style=\"text-align: center;\">[abutton color=\"green\" link=\"https://itxdesign.com/billing/cart.php\"]SIGN UP[/abutton]</div>','Wordpress vs Joomla Is There Any Question About Which CMS Is Best','','publish','open','open','','wordpress-vs-joomla-is-there-any-question-about-which-cms-is-best','','','2014-01-22 18:37:44','2014-01-22 23:37:44','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?page_id=1296',0,'page','',3),(1297,1,'2013-06-20 17:00:08','2013-06-20 21:00:08','If you\'ve been scouring the web looking for a good review about Wordpress vs. Joomla, you\'ve probably found the same thing over and over again.

This is due to the amount of work that goes into each. After a designer finds a theme they really like with Wordpress, they can learn the ins and outs rather quickly.

This is because you need different tools and options for your blog that you simply cannot get with some hosting plans. You have to get the best blog host for your needs and this can vary quite a bit depending on what you are trying to do.\r\n\r\nBlog hosts offer things like Joomla hosting and WordPress hosting. These are blog platforms that are much different and can really help you out when you are trying to put up a blog. You need to make sure you get exactly what you are after with your hosting and if you need to host a blog it will be different than when you are trying to put up a website.\r\n\r\nThere are certain things that are very necessary if you want to put up a blog in a hurry. Those that are serious about making money with blogs will be looking to have specific tools that will help you do this very fast. Having the right platform with the right blogging tools will help you do much more in a shorter amount of time.\r\n\r\nBelow you are going to find a few things that make a blog hosting plan so much different compared to what you are getting from a website hosting plan. These things are very important and when you are trying to get the right hosting for your blog they need to be in your package. Here is what you need if you are a blogger.\r\n\r\nThe Top 5 Things you Need in your Blog Hosting Plan\r\n1. Right Platforms\r\n\r\nThe platforms that you are looking for are the WordPress and Joomla hosting platforms. These come in the Fantastico script and any top web hosting company that caters to bloggers will include this script for you. If you don\'t get this script with your hosting it will be much harder to do what you need to do with your blogs.\r\n\r\n2. Ability to use your own Domain Name\r\n\r\nAnother thing you have to get with your hosting is the ability to put your blog on a domain name that you own. Most of the free blog hosting plans don\'t allow you to do this and it can cause you some serious troubles. With most paid hosting options, even if they are cheap hosting plans, you can put your blog on your own domain name.\r\n\r\n3. Plenty of Speed\r\n\r\nSince you are going to be trying to make money from your blog or blogs you will need to make sure you have plenty of speed with your hosting plan. This will help you to do exactly what you need to do without any issues. Speed will keep you from losing any of your visitors to competing blogs because the visitor can see what you have to offer very fast and easy.\r\n\r\n4. Plenty of Space\r\n\r\nBlogs can grow from very small to having thousands of posts over time. This means that you have to get plenty of space for all the posts you are going to be putting up. You need to make sure your hosting can support many posts without slowing you down or without running out of space. The right blog hosting plan for you will have a large amount of space for you to use.\r\n\r\n5. Great Support\r\n\r\nThe support of a blog host can show you how reliable they are, how professional they are, and whether or not they will be there when you really need them. Hopefully you will never have to use the support, but when you do have an issue it is good to know that you have great support from your blog host to help you out.\r\n\r\nThe Top Two Types of Blog Hosting Plan Choices\r\nWhen you are looking for the best blog hosting plan for you it is most likely going to be either the VPS hosting option for the shared hosting options. Many bloggers use one of these choices because they are simply the best and the cheapest website hosting choices for blogs. Here is the difference between the two options.\r\n\r\nVPS hosting is going to be the type of hosting that you can start off with a very small plan and grow your space as you grow your blog. You can go from a very small package to a much larger one over time as you are looking to expand. This will be a partition of a server that can be secured very well and can give you the resources you need for your blog.\r\n\r\nWith shared hosting you are going to end up on the same server as many other hosting accounts. This means that the resources are used more with a first come first serve type of mentality. This type of hosting is not as secure as VPS hosting, but it is much cheaper. You can start off with shared hosting and upgrade at any point to VPS hosting with most blog hosts.\r\n\r\nRegardless of which type of hosting you choose it is important to get the best blogging platforms and more with your hosting plan. Take your time and shop around for the best web hosting for your blog with all the options you need. This will lead you on the way to success and it all starts with the blog hosting plan you choose.\r\n\r\nWhat can ITX Design Web Hosting Packages Provide?\r\nCreating a professional, attention-grabbing webpage is the job of a web hosting company.  Doing this well, while still being gentle on your wallet, is where ITX Design comes in. It\'s no secret that new internet businesses generally don\'t have a lot of money to start, and could really use a boost to set them off running in the right direction. Then again, even your non-business related webpage could use some touching up.\r\n\r\nWithout the high prices that many other web hosting services charge, ITX Design web hosting offers even the brand new starting internet company a TON of amazing features for a fraction of the price. Starting right from the ground up, ITX Design provides a fantastic program for creating the best website to their clients. Not taking days to build your personalized webpage,  ITX Design will have your quality page up and running to support your internet venture in just mere hours.\r\n\r\nMany customers accidentally accept that all cost-effective website hosting packages offer the same features, when in truth there\'s a large amount of difference between the numerous website hosting corporations. Knowing both the features that are needed as well as the extra features that may make your site more interactive, fascinating and easy to utilize is crucial when choosing a reasonable website hosting company. Usually features will be separated into the ones that make the site straightforward to navigate for the final user and the ones that make it convenient to use for the web development expert. For the ones that are consistently adding content or want to host blogs or other kinds of forums, this is a vital consideration. Client service and support is undeniably a very important feature in any sort of cheap website hosting package.\r\n\r\nSome of the lower price discount sorts of website hosting services save costs by offering only limited support for shoppers, which can become maddening if there are any issues with the internet site hosting, design or upgrading.

You can start off with shared hosting and upgrade at any point to VPS hosting with most blog hosts.\r\n\r\nRegardless of which type of hosting you choose it is important to get the best blogging platforms and more with your hosting plan. Take your time and shop around for the best web hosting for your blog with all the options you need.

You will have the choice to go with shared hosting, VPS hosting, or dedicated hosting. These are all quite different and the price reflects in the resources and tools you get.\r\n\r\nShared hosting is the cheapest of the packages and you will be on the same server as many other hosting accounts. This can cause issues if one of the accounts is using up a large amount of the resources. This is also not the most secure type of hosting, but if you are on a budget getting your site or blog up with shared hosting is possible.\r\n\r\nVPS hosting will also put you on a server with others, but you actually purchase a partition of this server. This means you get more security and you get to use the resources all for yourself.\r\n\r\nDedicated hosting is the most expensive and basically you will be renting the entire server for yourself. This is the best type of web site hosting, but it does not fit every budget.\r\n\r\nWhy Free Website Hosting is a Waste of Your Time\r\n\r\nFree Website Hosting and What to Expect\r\nMany beginners want to start making an extra income online every single day and they seek out free website hosting for their project. However, if you choose free hosting, you will start out with making a mistake right from the beginning. If you want to make sure you don’t trip yourself up from decision one, don’t choose free website hosting.\r\n\r\nFree website hosting gives you the ability to put up a website or blog, but you won’t own it. Since you will be forced to use a sub domain name from the main hosting site, you will not own the site itself. Sure, you can still profit from it, but you won’t see nearly as much profit as if you own your own domain name.\r\n\r\nNot only to mention that, you will struggle with control. If the free hosting company decides to shut down, you lose everything. This will cause you to start over from scratch and that isn’t fun. Imagine building an income of a thousand dollars or more, then you wake up one morning and it’s all gone because of the hosting you chose.\r\n\r\nMore Issues from Free Website Hosting\r\n\r\nNow, not all free hosting companies will display ads on your website, but many will. If they do, they are literally reaching into your pockets and stealing your profits. This can cost you hundreds or more every single month and you could have just used that money to get real hosting and make more money from your website.\r\n\r\nIf you want to really become successful online, you need full control and ownership of your websites and blogs. This means owning the domain name and buying real hosting. The funny thing is many beginners to internet marketing and website building will choose free website hosting to save a few bucks a month knowing it’s a horrible choice.\r\n\r\nShared hosting is much better than free hosting and you can get it for under $10 a month. If you can afford to pay for more than one year up front, you can actually get your hosting for under $5 a month. The bottom line is if you are not willing to invest $30 into your business, then $10 or less a month from there on out, then you should reconsider even starting a website or blog.\r\n\r\nYou need a domain name, which you can get for $20 a year or less and you need hosting, which you can get for $10 or less on a monthly plan. However, if you can invest more in your hosting up front, you can get it for much cheaper per month. Just remember, this is a business and if you choose free hosting, you are setting yourself up for failure.\r\n\r\nDon’t choose Free Website Hosting\r\nIf you want to make extra money online or a full time income, you need the right foundation. There isn’t a single free hosting company that offers you the same options as shared hosting from a good company offers. You won’t get unlimited space and bandwidth with free hosting and the speed will be very slow. This will cost you money and keep you from the ultimate goal of an online income.\r\n\r\nInstead, start with shared hosting and spend the few dollars to ensure you get exactly what you need. This will help you in many ways by providing better options and a full foundation for your website or blog. Just make sure you avoid the blunders of free website hosting and you will be well on your way to an online income.','What are the Main Types of Web Site Hosting?','','publish','open','open','','what-are-the-main-types-of-web-site-hosting','','','2013-06-24 15:00:55','2013-06-24 19:00:55','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?p=1324',0,'post','',5),(1325,1,'2013-06-24 15:00:00','2013-06-24 19:00:00','','What are the Main Types of Web Site Hosting?','','inherit','open','open','','1324-revision','','','2013-06-24 15:00:00','2013-06-24 19:00:00','',1324,'http://itxdesign.com/1324-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(1326,1,'2013-06-24 15:00:48','2013-06-24 19:00:48','','servers','','inherit','open','open','','servers-2','','','2013-06-24 15:00:48','2013-06-24 19:00:48','',1324,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/servers1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(1327,1,'2013-06-24 15:00:22','2013-06-24 19:00:22','There are three main types of web site hosting you can choose from.

Some businesses need an easy to use system, while others need one capable of handling hundreds or even thousands of products. When looking at OS Commerce vs. Miva, you will find two different systems with the ability to help many businesses take their products online. Here\'s a breakdown of both systems and the benefits.\r\n\r\n<b>The Advantages of OS Commerce</b>\r\n\r\nWhen you look at the OS Commerce system closely, it\'s easy to see the many different advantages that come with the system. Benefits of OS Commerce include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>A Trusted System - OS Commerce is very popular and trusted by many users. They have a long history and provide a large community for support.</li>\r\n	<li>Cost Effective Solution - With this system, you get a free download because it\'s an open source software choice.</li>\r\n	<li>User-friendly - The software provides many great features, which are all very easy for even a beginner to use.</li>\r\n	<li>Fits with a Number of Different Business Types - Whether you need to run a large store or you need custom options, OS Commerce provides everything you need to sell inside the United States and Internationally.</li>\r\n	<li>Customizable - The system provides many flexible options to make it look and act the way you prefer.</li>\r\n	<li>Security - With the SSL encryption, you get the best security for your customers possible.</li>\r\n	<li>User Focused - With a system like OS Commerce, you can focus on your customers and the system will help you do exactly that. They system includes features for newsletters, email notifications, product reviews and more.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nOverall, the OS Commerce system is great for those looking for custom options and those needing great support from a community of users. Most startup businesses and those planning to manage their own system will prefer OS Commerce over many other choices on the market.\r\n\r\n<b>The Advantages of Miva Merchant</b>\r\n\r\nOS Commerce fits with many business types, but so does Miva Merchant. This is a unique system with plenty of great features and benefits including:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Design Tools - With the Store Morph Technology you get full control over the design of your store. The build-in template allows you to modify pages for your specific store needs.</li>\r\n	<li>Catalog management - With Miva Merchant 5, you get more options for your catalog and product management. It provides the ability to use categories and sub-categories for all your needs.</li>\r\n	<li>Tracking and Merchandising - The inventory system allows you to track many parts of your store and your products. This makes it easier to help you get the most from your merchandising.</li>\r\n	<li>Order Processing - With the order processing part of the system, you can set custom shipping options including FedEx and USPS. You can integrate many different payment processing options to make it very easy for your customers to check out.</li>\r\n	<li>User-Friendly Administration Area - The admin area is very easy to use and many customers prefer the Miva control panel over many of the others on the market.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<b>Disadvantages of Both Systems</b>\r\n\r\nOf course, the benefits and advantages of both systems are great, but you still have to look at the disadvantage of OS Commerce vs. Miva. Each system is perfect for specific types of businesses, but they do have a few drawbacks.\r\n\r\nOS Commerce isn\'t template driven and is a little harder to customize compared to some of the other systems on the market. The back-end can be a little harder to configure and the system doesn\'t work quite as well for companies looking to carry thousands of products in their catalog.\r\n\r\nWith Miva Merchant, the disadvantages come mainly in the area of support. Some customers have complained about how long it takes to get someone to help and they have also stated the system doesn\'t provide enough resources for support.\r\n\r\nNo matter which system you look at, you can find advantages and disadvantages. Some developers prefer one type of system over another and you really do need to look at your specific business needs compared to what each system provides.\r\n\r\n<b>The Overall Comparison of OS Commerce vs. Miva</b>\r\n\r\nWhen looking at both OS Commerce vs. Miva, they are both very good systems. If you need a less expensive option, OS Commerce might be the right solution. However, if you need to include a large amount of products in your catalog, Miva Merchant is a better choice for your need.','Comparing OS Commerce vs. Miva for Your Shopping Cart Needs','','inherit','open','open','','1338-revision-v1','','','2013-06-24 17:09:43','2013-06-24 21:09:43','',1338,'http://itxdesign.com/1338-revision-2/',0,'revision','',0),(1359,1,'2013-02-13 17:34:36','2013-02-13 22:34:36','<a title=\"Recent Designs\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/web-design-portfolio/\">Recently Designed Websites</a>\r\n\r\n<a title=\"ITX Design\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/\" target=\"_blank\">ITX Design</a> is now actively promoting (3) custom start-up <a title=\"WordPress design packages\" href=\"http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/12/prweb10220757.htm\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress design packages</a> which will come loaded with a range of options and features to accommodate small and large businesses owners or corporate entities.\r\n\r\nIf you’re an existing hosting client of ours, seeking a website redesign, we offer incentives on the current published <a title=\"hosting rates\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/compare-hosting-plans/\" target=\"_blank\">hosting rates</a> being offered.\r\n\r\nOur new website development packages and the technology backing them have been polished over the course of building hundreds of small and large, personal and business websites for our <a title=\"loyal clients\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/testimonials/\" target=\"_blank\">loyal clients</a> all over the globe.

For beginners, the majority, bloggers and most webmasters, Wordpress is the right choice. However, for the technical crowd, Joomla might be a better choice. These are both very powerful CMS choices, but most people need the easier to use system provided by Wordpress.\r\n\r\nThose still trying to make the right decision need to understand a few things about each system. Most hosting companies give you access to both free of charge, so it\'s not a matter of how much each one costs, but if you do plan to hire a designer, you will need to look at the cost for each.\r\n\r\nThe average designer charges under $500 for a basic Wordpress site, whereas most designers capable of creating a Joomla site will charge more than $1,000. This is due to the amount of work that goes into each. After a designer finds a theme they really like with Wordpress, they can learn the ins and outs rather quickly. This makes it easier to customize each website without spending a large amount of time creating code.\r\n\r\nNot only is it important to consider the cost and the time investment when it comes to Wordpress vs. Joomla, but it\'s also important to look at a few other important aspects.\r\n\r\n<b>How Similar Are Wordpress and Joomla?</b>\r\n\r\nFive years ago, writing about Wordpress vs. Joomla would have been far different. Both systems have grown and provide a much more similar experience than they used to. When looking at the features of each, it\'s easy to see how similar these two systems are for the end user.\r\n\r\nThe competition between the two has benefited the users greatly. Due to the close competition, Joomla and Wordpress have evolved to provide the same benefits, which were once missing from each system. One isn\'t light years ahead of the other anymore and that\'s an important thing to understand when choosing your CMS.\r\n\r\n<b>The Pros of Choosing Joomla </b>\r\n\r\nChoosing Joomla will give you a powerful interface that\'s pretty easy for the user. It\'s designed for easy management of large amount of articles, as well.\r\n\r\n<b>The Pros of Choosing Wordpress</b>\r\n\r\nWith the ability to provide both a website and a blog, this is one of the most powerful CMS choices out there. You can create multiple profiles for authors, manage massive amounts of content and enjoy the many themes and plugins for customization. Wordpress also provides a very easy to use interface with straightforward features anybody can figure out.\r\n\r\n<b>Is One Better Than The Other?</b>\r\n\r\nWhen looking at Wordpress vs. Joomla, one is certainly better than the other. Joomla is still considered one of the big three CMS choices, but hasn\'t really decided on a direction. Wordpress is the easier to use system with massive SEO benefits, whereas Joomla is about in the middle of everything. Drupal is the other of the big three and provides great customization targeted at developers.\r\n\r\nFor the majority of users, Wordpress is the easier system to learn and provides the ability to do more without a large time investment. However, Joomla has come a long way and many large sites still use Joomla.\r\n\r\n<b>What it Really Comes Down to with Wordpress vs. Joomla</b>\r\n\r\nThe choice between these two very popular CMS options mainly comes down to what you plan to do and how you want to accomplish your tasks. Sometimes one CMS is better than the other for specific types of websites or blogs, while other times it\'s just a personal preference.\r\n\r\nDoing it yourself is easier with Wordpress, unless you\'re an experienced developer. When it comes to developers, they all have their own preference. Many will tell you one system isn\'t better than the other, but they do provide you with different benefits.\r\n\r\nJoomla comes with a steeper learning curve than Wordpress, which makes Wordpress the right choice for beginners. Wordpress also makes it a little easier to manage multiple users. However, if you\'re trying to manage thousands of articles on your blog or website, Joomla does provide some options to make it easier.\r\n\r\nThe choice may come down to what your developer prefers or the interface you prefer. Both Wordpress and Joomla provide free demos to give you an idea of what the interface looks like and how it works.

You could be trying to promote the music of your band or you could be trying to promote a music product or advertisement.\r\n\r\nIf you are looking for a music WordPress theme that will fit with a band or with the music you are creating, then you are looking for something much different than if you are looking for a music WordPress theme that will help you market a product or advertisement. We are going to focus on a theme for the actual niche and not for a band.\r\n\r\nThe Best Way to Choose the Right Music WordPress Theme\r\nYou should start by considering whether you are going to target the music niche or if you are going to target a smaller category in the music niche. You could target something like hip hop, rap, country, rock, or another category of music. Another option is to stick with the general music niche.\r\n\r\nOnce you have your niche figured out you can search for either a specific music WordPress theme or you can find a general one. There are many of the out there and you will want to find a handful of them to test out. This will give you plenty of options to compare to make sure you get the right theme for your needs.\r\n\r\nAnother thing you have to consider is how you are going to monetize the site. If you are promoting a product you will want a theme that works best for this, but if you are using advertising to monetize your site there are themes that are designed specifically for this. You need to know which one you are after when you are doing your search.\r\n\r\nAfter you have everything figured out and you have found a few themes to test you will want to load them all into your site. Then, you can preview them with some content to see how they are going to work for you. Seeing them live will always give you an idea of how they function and what you can go about doing with each theme.\r\n\r\nCustomizing a Music WordPress Theme for your Needs\r\nYou have two basic options when it comes to customizing a music WordPress theme. You can have someone design a theme to your specifications from the beginning or you can customize it yourself. If you have someone build you a theme it will cost you money, but if you do it yourself you will just have to learn how to do it.\r\n\r\nThere are many videos and articles out there about how to customize your themes that are free and you can get this information very easily. You need to consider making your theme custom for your needs so that it fits just right. This will give you a better music wordpress theme for your overall needs.\r\n\r\nChoosing the Right one of the Commercial WordPress Themes\r\n\r\nWhy You Should Use One of the Commercial WordPress Themes\r\nWhen you are trying got get a website up for your business you can use the commercial WordPress themes to help you put up a professional design very easily. You need to know how to use WordPress first, but there are many videos to teach you the parts of WordPress and it is very easy to learn.\r\n\r\nThe best part is that with WordPress you can start to manage everything you need to manage from one backend system. You can even give each person on your team that needs access their own level of access. This makes it much easier for you to manage everything and use one of the commercial WordPress themes for the design.\r\n\r\nThe Ways to Choose the Best Commercial WordPress Themes\r\nThe first step in choosing one of the commercial WordPress themes is to do a search on your favorite search engine and start looking at the different designs. You can easily find many themes that you can match up to your business and give your site the look it needs to become a professional website.\r\n\r\nYou will also need to consider how your site is monetized and what you are using the site for. If it is simply an informational site you will want a different one of the commercial WordPress themes than if you are using it to sell products or a service. This is important to consider because different themes fit different needs.\r\n\r\nIt is necessary to have about 5 different themes to help you choose the best one. You can easily find this many for free and then you can put them up and see how they work for you. Some themes will work better for you than others and you may not know how it functions until you start using it.\r\n\r\nAfter you have the different commercial WordPress themes you are going to test you will want to go through each one and compare them. This will give you a good chance to choose one of the themes that you like the best. Your theme is important so make sure you take your time comparing the different choices.\r\n\r\nSome Final Notes About Commercial WordPress Themes\r\nAnother option with commercial WordPress themes is to have one designed specifically for your website and you can do this for a pretty reasonable price. However, if you are not looking to spend much money you can just find a free theme that you like or that you can customize to your needs.\r\n\r\nThis is a great way to go because there are many different ways to go about learning how to customize a theme you plan to use. You will be able to change the logo, the header, the different images, the colors, and more if you do this. This is one of the best ways to get one of the top commercial WordPress themes for your website.','Choosing a Music WordPress Theme for your Website','','inherit','open','open','','1343-revision-3','','','2013-06-26 09:43:33','2013-06-26 13:43:33','',1343,'http://itxdesign.com/1343-revision-3/',0,'revision','',0),(1377,1,'2013-06-27 01:28:42','2013-06-27 05:28:42','<h2>Christian Web Hosting</h2>\r\n<div class=\"full-underline\"></div>\r\nITX Design is a Christian operated/owned business that specializes in web hosting and support. ITX Design\'s website design and Christian hosting team have over 10 years of web hosting experience and we were one of the first web hosting companies online, founded in May of 2001.\r\n\r\nAs a Christian web hosting company, we understand the importance of operating professionally and we treat every relationship with the utmost importance. You\'re not just a web hosting or web design client, it\'s a relationship that reflects on our walk with Christ. We strive daily to provide a service that exemplifies that walk.\r\n<h2>Why Christian Hosting is Important?</h2>\r\n<div class=\"full-underline\"></div>\r\nSome hosting companies don\'t put much effort into screening the type of websites they host. Others actually target companies with non-Christian agendas, such as adult based websites and others of this nature. At ITX Design, we don\'t allow these types of websites on our servers and we prefer to work with Christian companies as much as possible.\r\n\r\nOur journey in Christ is more important to us than anything else and as a Christian website hosting company, we take this seriously. We strive to provide the best possible hosting without feeling the need to cater to every part of the market. Websites on our servers may not all be church-related or ministries, but we all play our part in the body of Christ.\r\n\r\nChoosing a Christian web hosting company over a non-Christian providers will give you the same value in the hosting, but additional value with a company you can respect. This section found in Matthew explains it the best:\r\n\r\n<i>\"Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.\" Matthew 7:16-20.</i>\r\n\r\nOur mission is not only to provide great hosting for all the websites on our services, but also to provide opportunities for Christian organizations to use current technology to spread the word of God. Discipleship is a call all Christians receive and we take this seriously. We pray that God will speak to you and help you find the right Christian web hosting for your needs.\r\n<h2>Christian Hosting For Your Ministry</h2>\r\n<div id=\"full-underline\"></div>\r\n<b>Working with a Company with Similar Beliefs</b>\r\n\r\nAs a Christian organization, we love working with companies that share our beliefs in Christ. Many advantages come from this type or business relationship and often, we don\'t understand what these benefits are until we experience them. Our team doesn\'t oversell our hosting and we don\'t try to convince you our servers are anything other than what they are.\r\n\r\nIf you run a Christian organization, we would be happy to host your website at a discounted rate (35% discount). This offer is directed towards Churches, Missionaries and Ministries. However, we are glad to extend this offer to any website that is Christian oriented or places a link on their homepage to a Christian oriented page within their website.\r\n\r\nTake advantage of this offer use the promotion code: Christ when you place your order. Once your order has been approved, we will review your site and the discount will be automatically applied each billing period. This offer only applies to our standard web hosting plans.\r\n<h2>What is Christian Web Hosting?</h2>\r\n<div class=\"full-underline\"></div>\r\nFinding the right hosting for your website is hard. It becomes a bit more difficult when you start searching for Christian web hosting instead of just any hosting company out there. Christian hosting is a bit different from basic hosting and it\'s important to understand what Christian Web hosting is and the difference between this type of hosting and regular hosting.\r\n\r\nChristian web hosting comes from hosting companies with Christian beliefs. For example, at ITX Design, we provide a Christian owned and operated business with over 10 years of experience in providing hosting for Christian websites. We don\'t treat you as just another account on our server. Every client is a relationship and our hope is that this relationship will reflect our walk with Christ together.\r\n<h2>The Biggest Difference Between Basic and Christian Hosting Packages?</h2>\r\n<div class=\"full-underline\"></div>\r\nWith some hosting companies, you could end up on the same server as a website you don\'t want to be associated with. Some companies don\'t screen the companies and websites they allow on their servers. This means, you could be on the same IP address and server as an adult website or one with an anti-Christian agenda.\r\n\r\nAt ITX Design, we specialize in Christian web hosting and don\'t allow these types of websites on our servers. We prefer to host Christian run companies and do our best to screen the companies using our hosting services. Since our journey with Christ is the most important thing, we don\'t put making money from a non-Christian business above our walk with Christ.\r\n<h2>Do You Lose Anything with Christian Hosting Packages? ?</h2>\r\n<div class=\"full-underline\"></div>\r\nYou may think you\'re going to miss out on features, resources or support because you choose a Christian hosting company over just a basic hosting company. This is as far from the truth as it gets. ITX Design is not only a Christian hosting company, but also one of the best hosting companies, overall. We provide packages just as good, if not better than basic hosting companies do and our prices remain competitive.\r\n\r\nYou don\'t have to pay more or miss out on anything to use hosting from a Christian company. You get the same value, but along with the value, you gain the respect of fellow Christians working with you, supporting you and helping you not only with your websites, but also with your walk with Christ.\r\n<h2>Other Advantages of Christian Hosting for Your Website?</h2>\r\n<div class=\"full-underline\"></div>\r\nHave you ever thought something was too good to be true? In some cases, it really is and this happens in the hosting industry all the time. With so many companies competing for their slice of the pie, it\'s hard to know which ones are telling you the truth about their hosting. Just about every company states they provide a 99.99% uptime guarantee, unlimited resources and a number of other things with their cheap hosting packages.\r\n\r\nThis may all be true, but the hosting could be slow, the support could be terrible and you could run into a number of other issues. Some hosting companies back up their promises because they only tell you the truth about what they can provide. In our experience, most of the companies telling you the truth and backing up their promises are Christian run hosting companies.\r\n\r\nWhen you choose Christian web hosting, you get what you pay for and far more. The respect you receive from the support team is worth more than taking a chance with a super cheap hosting company. The last thing you need is someone answering the support line with a bad attitude or no knowledge of how to fix your issue.\r\n\r\nChoosing Christian hosting from ITX Design will provide you with all the best benefits and one of the most experienced Christian support teams in the industry. We understand you have a website to run and we don\'t want you to expect something we can\'t deliver. Our promises are backed by our actions and our support.\r\n<h2>Hosting for Ministry and Other Christian Organizations?</h2>\r\n<div class=\"full-underline\"></div>\r\nAt ITX Design we love working with ministry websites, Christian organizations and churches. We know how important it is for you to use a website to spread the word of Christ. We offer a discounted rate for Christian organizations of 35% to make it even easier for you to spread the word. This offer applies to missionaries, ministries, churches and other Christian organizations. You can take advantage of this discount by entering the discount code \"Christ\" when you place your order.\r\n\r\nIf you cannot afford hosting and you run a Christian ministry, please contact us at support@itxdesign.com.  We would be glad to help and it\'s one of the reasons that so many ministries have used <a title=\"ITX Design Christian Web Hosting Reviewed\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/christian-web-hosting-reviews/\">ITX Design</a> for their Christian web hosting needs.\r\n<div id=\"ded-final\"></div>','Christian Web Hosting','','publish','open','open','','christian-web-hosting','','','2015-11-05 10:56:15','2015-11-05 15:56:15','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?page_id=1377',0,'page','',0),(4720,1,'2014-01-23 20:14:20','2014-01-24 01:14:20','<h2>Christian Web Hosting</h2>\r\n<div class=\"full-underline\"></div>\r\nITX Design is a Christian operated/owned business that specializes in web hosting and support.
