I knew that the IP of the account was not a factor when Google decided if your domain is going to move up the SEO ranks. But according to this Article by the Google filter guy himself the Hostname is a factor. I am sure it’s not black and white but…

A host with thousands of accounts on one server like hostgator, godaddy, and I have heard dreamhost mean if another website on your server is in on the front page of Google you are very much less likely to get on there after. Also because these hosts have unlimited domains people tend to think it’s good to create a bunch of websites and cross link them. This can actually flag your server and once again effect your ability to rank high in Google.

Here is the excerpt from Google.

“Seven of the top 10 results all came from one domain, and the urls look a little… well, let’s say fishy. In 1999 and early 2000, search engines would often return 50 results from the same domain in the search results. One nice change that Google introduced in February 2000 was “host crowding,” which only showed two results from each hostname (here’s what a hostname is). Suddenly, Google’s search results were much cleaner and more diverse! It was a really nice win–we even got email fan letters. Unfortunately, just a few months later people were creating multiple subdomains to get around host crowding, as the results above show. Google later added more robust code to prevent that sort of subdomain abuse and to ensure better diversity. That’s why it’s pretty much a wash now when deciding whether to use subdomains vs. subdirectories.”

Why am I telling you this?

lol Basically this is another great reason to use a premium host like DWHS Website Hosting We limit our servers to about 300 accounts this is almost a thousand less then these cheap bulk hosts do. We also do not have unlimited domains and monitor our servers for customers trying to use black hat search engine tricks. We have thousands of first page Google listed customers (like we are) that will stay on the first page in Google because of the extra effort we keep as a premium web host.

“I know the lure of unlimited sounds good but trust me if you actually start to use a lot of resource you will have major issues and in most cases you won’t even know other then less sales dropping from disgruntled site surfers.”

With the many more reasons to choose a premium host like DWHS why use a cheap bulk hosting service?

It’s not the money, our plans start at just $3 a month. Web Hosting Plans
It’s the not the performance, we are more then 3 times faster then Hostgator.

It’s not the tools, wee have more tools that are rated higher.
It’s definably not the customer service, our highly trained staff have been here for a decade!

My guess is good marketing, but to be honest I would rather put my money into our advanced hosting technology and grow moderatly then to grow too fast by offering host crowding and false claims to the masses.

I have said this hundreds of times.. “it’s NOT the idea as much as how you APPLY it. The best ideas in the world are wasted because whoever had them simply didn’t know how to apply them well. Typically there are thinkers and doers, it is very rare to be able to do both. So next time you have that big idea find someone to help you apply it, or if you are frustrating that people do not work hard enough with all these great ideas floating around then you should find some idea people and make it happen!

If you want to sell toilet paper then you could start a toilet paper business right now online and if you truly kicked butt at it you could make a living. My point is it’s not what you sell as much as you believing that it will work, work hard, and work very smart to make it happen.

When you’re shopping for an HDTV, there are plenty of factors to consider. Chief among them is the type of display. While boxy, bulky CRTs are long dead and mammoth rear-projection HDTVs are all but extinct, the HDTV market currently offers three distinct choices in display technologies: plasma, traditional CCFL-backlit LCD, and LED-backlit LCD. For years, the question of which technology reigned supreme has remained unanswered.

In the early days of HDTVs, plasma, with its inky blacks and top-notch picture quality, was the prevalent flat-panel technology, especially among videophiles. Gradually, thinner, more energy-efficient LCDs with CCFL backlighting became less expensive and more capable and started gaining ground. The difference between plasma and LCD wavered for some time, with each offering different economic and visual benefits depending on the model, price, and time in the life cycle of HDTVs. But in the past couple of years, with the advent of increasingly sophisticated LED backlighting, we finally have a true winner. With its unmatched energy efficiency, LED-based LCD is the best flat-panel HDTV technology. Unfortunately, it’s also generally the most expensive. (Though LED HDTV prices have come down considerably over the past year, and continue to drop all the time.) If it’s in your budget, the choice is clear: Pay the premium and get an LED-lit HDTV.

The Basics: What’s the Difference Between LCD, LED, and Plasma?
The three technologies are vastly different, particularly how each the screen is lit. In plasma HDTVs, the phosphors that create the image on the screen light up themselves, and don’t need any backlighting. For LCD HDTVs, however, the liquid crystal screen does not illuminate, requiring a separate light source. That’s where the difference between “regular” LCD screens (also known as CCFL-backlit LCD) and LED-backlit LCD screens (also known as LED-LCD, or just LED screens) come in. Traditional LCD HDTVs use cold cathode fluorescent lights (CCFLs) to illuminate the screen. CCFLs are similar to the fluorescent lights you might see in your lamps and overhead light fixtures. They use a charged gas to produce light. LED-LCD screens, like their name implies, use light emitting diodes (LEDs) to illuminate the display.

Several factors can be influenced by the type of HDTV display you choose. Among them, the most prominent are screen thickness, brightness, darkness, energy efficiency, and price. Ideally, you want an HDTV that’s affordable, paper-thin, can get face-of-the-sun-bright and black-hole-dark, and consumes less than a watt. That’s currently impossible, but LED-backlit LCD HDTVs can come closer than the other two technologies.

For this advantage, LED HDTVs command a premium; for all major HDTV manufacturers, LED-backlit HDTVs can cost a few hundred dollars more than CCFL-backlit HDTVs of the same size. Generally, plasma HDTVs tend to be the least expensive, priced at equal to or slightly less than CCFL-backlit HDTVs. However, that savings means the screen will be thicker and much more power-hungry, even if it does offer as good a picture as an LED-backlit HDTV. For example, Samsung’s 46-inch CCFL-backlit LCD HDTVs begin at $799.99 (the 600 series), and can get as pricey as $1,699.99 (the 750 series). Samsung offers 50-inch 1080p plasma HDTVs (there are no 46-inch models currently available, and 52-inch CCFL-backlit LCDs start at $1,299.99 with the 530 series) for as little as $1,149.99 (the 540 series) and as much as $2,299.99 (the 8000 plasma series). For the extra size, that bump up in price is reasonable. Meanwhile, 46-inch Samsung LED HDTVs start at $1,199.99 (the 6050 LED series) and can become as expensive as $4,999.99 (the 9000 LED series). LED HDTVs don’t have to be super-expensive, but they almost always cost more than their CCFL-backlit and plasma counterparts. Considering the excellent picture quality and significant benefits in screen thickness and power consumption, that extra amount on the price tag is well worth it.

Image Quality
How good the picture looks, especially if you’re a videophile or a cinema fanatic, is the most vital aspect of any HDTV. Specifically, peak white and black levels determine how detailed a picture can look on a screen. Poor white levels mean fine details can get washed out in bright scenes, while poor black levels mean shadows swallow up parts of the picture in dark scenes. A very wide gamut from dark to light lets the HDTV show the tiniest details, regardless of how bright or dark the movie gets. In our tests, we measure white and black levels by luminance using a chromameter. A mediocre HDTV might produce black levels of 0.05 to 0.07 cd/m2, while an excellent HDTV might offer levels of 0.01 to 0.03 cd/m2. Historically, plasma HDTVs have produced the best black levels, specifically the now-defunct Pioneer Kuro HDTV brand. The Kuro’s screen got so satisfyingly dark that it remained a popular HDTV for enthusiasts long after Pioneer stopped making the sets. The domination of plasma in this field, however, is over. Our current Editors’ Choice HDTV, the LED-based LG Infinia 47LW5600, puts out only 0.01 cd/m2, the best level we can measure. That any LED-backlit LCD can get that dark shows how far the technology has come.

White levels don’t matter quite as much as black levels, because it’s more difficult for screens to show fine details in shadows and easier to crank out very bright whites with backlighting, but they can still matter. At this, LED backlighting again triumphs. The Panasonic TC-L42E30 reaches a staggering 473.50 cd/m2 white levels with modest 0.04 cd/m2 black levels. It completely (and literally) outshines the Panasonic TC-P50ST30, its plasma HDTV cousin that puts out only 107 cd/m2 peak white while offering a slightly better 0.03 cd/m2 black level.

Size and Power
Screen thickness isn’t the most important aspect of an HDTV, but initially, it’s the most noticeable. A super-thin HDTV is not only visually striking, but it’s more easily mounted on a wall, and can be more readily arranged, displayed, or concealed as part of your home theater. At this, LED lighting wins hands-down. The CCFLs that backlight standard LCD screens are much thicker than LEDs, and plasma screens require a fair amount of room for the actual plasma cells. LEDs, on the other hand, can be extremely tiny while being extremely bright, meaning an array of LEDs along the edge of an LCD can light it up while completely removing the backlight from the equation (in this configuration, the LEDs are considered “edge-lighting,” not backlighting, though the term backlighting can cover all screen illumination). Samsung’s 8000 series LED HDTVs measure a very-svelte 0.9 inches, thanks to its edge-lighting. To contrast, Samsung’s 8000 series plasma HDTV models measure 1.4 inches thick, and its CCFL-backlit 750 series HDTVs measure a bulkier 3.2 inches thick. You could literally cram three 8000-series HDTVs front-to-back inside the space of one 750-series screen. However, edge-lit LCDs can’t produce quite as dark blacks as LED-array-backlit LCDs. With a full wall of LEDs behind the screen, individual lights can dim and turn off to produce the best black levels when the picture needs them. However, this means the screen can’t get quite as thin as if it was edge-lit. Still, even LED-backlit screens can stay remarkably thin. The LG Infinia 47LW5600 measures just 1.2 inches thick.

Energy efficiency is an important factor when choosing an HDTV, and between the three technologies LED-backlit HDTVs win again. LED HDTVs consistently consume around 100 watts or less, while plasma HDTVs can eat up two or three times as much. The 47-inch LG Infinia 47LW5600 uses a meager 95 watts, and the slightly smaller 42-inch Panasonic TC-L42E30 needs just 78 watts. Compare that with plasma HDTVs like the 42-inch Panasonic TC-P42GT25, which eats up 236 watts, or the 50-inch Samsung PN50C590G4F, which uses a staggering 272 watts. However, you can’t be certain that an LED-backlit HDTV will be energy efficient. It’s a good general rule, but some HDTVs, like the Vizio XVT3D650SV, eats up 165 watts (although that’s for a massive 65-inch screen), and the Sony Bravia 46EX720 consumes 112 watts. Even still, these are far better numbers than you’ll get with any plasma screen.

Facebook finally provided a way to keep any random jerk in the café from hijacking your account. But you have to go out of your way to enable this protection, and you might have to wait. Still: Jump on this.

Facebook has at long last offered an option to use the encrypted “HTTPS” protocol, a feature it will begin rolling out today but won’t finish for a “few weeks.” You should check now if it’s available, and sign up as soon as it is enabled for your account. The performance overhead is minor—zippy Gmail, for example, uses HTTPS for everything—and it’s an important step to keep your Facebook account safe from being hijacked on an open or poorly secured wireless network.

By default, Facebook sends your access credentials in the clear, with no encryption whatsoever. Switching to HTTPS is important because a browser extension called Firesheep has made it especially easy for anyone sharing your open wireless network—at cafe or conference, for example—to sniff your credentials and freely access your account. One blogger sitting in a random New York Starbucks was able to steal 20-40 Facebook identities in half an hour. HTTPS solves this longstanding problem by encrypting your login cookies and other data; in fact the inventor of Firesheep made the software to encourage companies like Facebook to finally lock down their systems.

You can sign up for Facebook HTTPS by going to Account Settings and then selecting “Account Security,” third from the bottom. Then click under “Secure Browsing” — if it’s there. Facebook says everyone should have this by the end of the day, but in the meantime you might be missing the relevant option toggle.

Facebook is sure taking its sweet time rolling this out. Firesheep has been out for more than three months, and the EFF released a plugin for secure Facebook connections back in June. Even the HTTPS option is half measure. It applies only on the website, not on Facebook’s iPhone app.

And HTTPS should really be automatic for all Facebook users, not an opt-in buried in one of Facebook’s famously labyrinthine settings menus. Facebook seems to recognize this, writing, “We hope to offer HTTPS as a default whenever you are using Facebook sometime in the future.” Given that Facebook secures not only intimate pictures and chats but people’s credentials on other websites, that future really can’t come soon enough. But if history is any guide, Facebook’s users are in for a long wait for proper security.

1. Your bank App, you never know when you need to move money around. And the security on these for popular banks are safe.

2. Facebook, if you use facebook a lot then get this, it’s fast and easy to use all the main functions on facebook

3. Angry birds, the number one game for the iphone and it’s only 99 cents.

4. Scrabble, keep your brain active and play the computer for a smart way to waste 20 minutes.

5. Ring tones, only 99 cents and it gives you a video and editor to turn any song into a ring tone, you record anything and use that as well.

6. Skype, skype on the iphone is awesome and with the new iphone 4 you can do video talk.

7. ifitness, this apps lists hundreds of exercises, plans, and describes in details what each one does.

8, cydia, get out of ATT and Apple’s nazi like grip and open your personally owned device to do what you want.
