Polurnet shared review

Tue, 23 Oct 2007 03:10:45 +0000
One of my other sites is hosted by the folks over at Polurnet so they are due for a review. They have many different levels of shared or resellers hosting packages. The package that I use for one site is perfect for blogs. Its the BasicPaw Lite shared account. It costs $3.89 per month.

Ad Changes and File Server

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 20:22:56 +0000
Some minor updates on WebHostGear.com today. I changed our ad server, the previous version wasn’t always showing ads correctly in Internet Explorer browser. It would sometimes come up blank which was very strange. I also upgraded some scripts on the site.

My Portuguese is rough - But I like UOL

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 14:43:00 -0400

Last week Universo Online S.A. (UOL) acquired the "clients" of web hosting company Digiweb, also of Sao Paulo, Brazil. In November, UOL also acquired the web hosting "clients" of Plug In another Brazilian firm.

The importance: UOL is now the third-largest provider of web-hosting services company in Brazil.

UOL did not mention the "third largest" part after the Plug In acquisition --- letting me believe that Digiweb was a fairly large deal.

I check out UOL - Basically an Internet/media powerhouse. They are vertical, horizontal, diagonal and the karma sutra all rolled into one. You really have to read the corporate bio --- Brazilian portal with 1.4 billion page-views a month, 1.7 million content paying subscribers, 1 million broadband customers…and now the THIRD LARGEST web hosting company in Brazil (Which I may add has a population of 184 million).

They want to collect the tolls on the electronic highway...including all entrances and exits. Someone has to collect.

The UOL financials…some great info…

  • My favorite part: "The Company had no outstanding loans or financings at the end of the 4Q07". (Same position as Microsoft)
  • They have a lot of cash - $284 million USD.
  • 2007 EBITDA - $91.8 million USD - a fantastic 29% of net revenues.

The largest shareholder (41%) is the San Palo newspaper owner Folhapar.

UOL stock has dropped some 60% in the past 12 months...but the one thing I know about newspapers, they are long term players with long term visions.

And the movie Brazil...

Cartoons Are Ideal For Any Online Application

Webmaster and Cartoonist Dan Rosandich took his existing archive of cartoon panels and categorized them into a searchable database for content publishers.

Most people think a terms or service and acceptable use policy are things that you should put up once and then forget about. We could not be further from the actual truth of things though. Sure you don’t need to review it daily, weekly or even monthly. I would suggest reviewing it once a year though to make sure all your ducks are in a row.

We hope that what we have stated here on low cost web site hosting is indeed inspiring to you, the reader. With this inspiration, learn even more about low cost web site hosting.
