No, you don't really need any specialized hosting for a forum. Any hosting which has LAMP installed would be fine. Which means that any hosting that will run, say, Wordpress should be able to run your forum. If you are just beginning, then I suggest using any of the free hosting offered by the...

Why do you want to make it into a vps? Or do you mean you want to make it into a local server? If that's your plan, then what you need is to install LAMP on it. LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, mySQL and php. These are the basic components of a server. However, use your pc only as a server for...

An old-fashioned library may one day become like a museum of books where visitors go to gaze at paper-and-ink books and wonder how the primitive people can get information from such archaic artifacts. I think that 'some day' is not that far off in the future.

This technique must be viewed in a broader perspective. It's not enough to have links back to your site. It's also important that the links come from relevant content. Let's say your site is about motorcycles. Then you submit an article to an articles directory. About roses. And in the article...

Yes, it definitely is worth the time and effort you spend on it. Look at it this way. When you have a site up and running in production mode, you want it to stay up 24/7/365. Leaving aside problems on the server side which can only be handled by the technicians onsite, there are still other...

A desktop for me. First, it's an open architecture. You can add and change components very easily. Two, parts for the desktop are, generally speaking, cheaper than parts for the laptop. Taken together, it means that with a desktop and the same amount of money, you will get a more powerful...

Oh yes, I can understand how people are prepared to pay to send a message to someone they are very interested in. In my country, there is an sms service where people watching shows can send in their vote for their favorite contestant. Yes, they have to pay for the service but they pay it willingly.

I would like a Hummer. Actually, if I could, I would take the Humvee. However, since I am not in the military, I will have to settle for the Hummer. It's a very solid car. After all, it's modeled after it's military grade sibling.

I think it depends more on what kind of content you put on your dot info site. If you put quality content on it, then Google will know about it and treat it accordingly. This is not just about dot info. There are also many other less common extensions like country extensions. Given the right...

I have not tried it myself yet but I am sure it's possible to create a shopping cart in Wordpress. As for security, there are a few things involved. I think one of these is the SSL certificate. Another is the security of the site itself.

Good set of tips there. Sounds similar to what needs to be done to get followers on Twitter or Facebook. I suppose that's because Google+ is also a social network. Only problem is it's still very far from the size of Twitter or Facebook. So finding people on Google+ takes a bit of doing.

That's good. Have you tried IFTTT? It stands for IF This Then That. It works somewhat like the progamming code which goes if...then..else. First you choose an event to trigger off the thing, which leads to an action. Like, say, someone follows you on Twitter. That's the event which trigger off...

Oh really? So where do they expect you to get your information? Maybe you can get round that by citing the references at the bottom of each Wikipedia article. Those articles are the source of the information in the article.

Unfortunately, no. I started that blog when I was still naive and penniless. So I hosted that blog on a free site. It was a good site with good uptime but the security wasn't top class so it got hacked and the database got corrupted. End of my site. I may replicate that blog some day when I am...

I have used DuckDuckGo. It's also the default browser for Linux Mint, if I am not mistaken. Although I support the idea behind the browser, somehow I have become addicted to Google so I am still using Google.

If you are talking about a free blogging host, then I would recommend using both Wordpress and Blogger. Publish content on one. Re-write the same article and publish it on the other. Two birds with one stone. If you are talking about a paid blogging host, there are lots available. As to what is...

Just curious. Have you actually traded on Forex? I think you should really give it a try before you recommend it as a way to make money. The only people who really make money on Forex are the brokers. I am speaking as someone who had been a stock market analyst and stock market trader.

Do you mean get paid by someone else to post on my own blog? I think I have seen this kind of thing in BuyBlogReviews. I have an account there but I haven't taken up any of the offers before because they were in the range of 3 to 5 usd. Lately the prices have been going above the 10usd line. I...

Namecheap is the way to go if you want peace of mind with your domains. They may not have the lowest prices but I know for a fact that they do business in a straightforward way. No sneaky deals. No hidden costs. What they show you up front is all there is. So go with Namecheap. Wait for a...

I have a plugin that updates Facebook and Twitter. There are other networks available but I don't normally use those, so I left them out. Yes, those updates do bring in traffic. I have a plugin which tells me where the visitors are referred from and there are some who come from the post on my...
