Dedicated Servers and Ssl Certificates
Dedicated Servers and SSL Certificates:
Dedicated Server = Dedicated IP Address = SSL
You don’t have to have a Dedicated Server to have a Dedicated IP addressee, But you do have to have a Dedicated IP addressee to use an SSL Certificate.
Almost all merchant accounts require this, Google Checkout is one of them that require you to have an SSL Certificate, Without it you can’t use Google Checkout.
Depending on your hosting plan it can be rather pricey on a regular shared hosting plan to add a Dedicated IP and a SSL Certificate. Depending on your type of Business, This will tell what type of SSL Certificate you will require. An Individual can usually get away with a Standard Class 1 Certificate.
But if you are a business seeking to satisfy your savvy customers, Then you will need a more secure Class 2 SSL Certificate. If you shop really smart, You can usually get a great deal on a Class 2 for your Business. Sometimes you will see these Class 2′s run in the thousands sometimes. Don’t panic, You can find them for as low as $27.00 a year. There all SSL Certificates with the same 128/256 Bit Encryption.
No need to spend a crazy amount of money to get the protection that you and your customers will need for protection. Normally you will hear what is referred to as a Turbo SSL, This is the same as the Class 2 from the expensive places. They almost always have insurance on them as well. This insurance can range from $2,000 up to $250,000. For the smaller Business you will only need the smaller of these, Unless your doing big time business.
With the cost of the Dedicated IP setup and SSL Certificate it should only run you between $80.00 to $100.00 depending on what you choose.
Shop smart and watch your pocketbook, Unless your made of money. As a small business myself I have to watch every penny.
If you are looking for cheaper dedicated servers, you should be careful while choosing the right specification and package. Things to consider are operating system, data backup and monitoring service, hardware options, space, bandwidth and technical support. Ask the hosting providers to give you a few websites for references, read hosting reviews before you sign up and be sure that the price is affordable. We know that the dedicated servers on this site are the one that will give you the most reliability and flexibility for your money.

How To Find A Cheaper Broadband Deal?
With dial-up internet slowly dying and more and more homes are being connected with high speed broadband internet connection every day, Internet service providers are doing everything they can to get your hooked on. With new ISP providers entering the market every day, the prices to get a high speed connection are falling. With so many to choose from, how do you decide broadband supplier offers the right package for you?
Connection Speed – How fast?
Be a little bit weary of broadband deals advertising “up to 8mb” connection etc. It may not mean that you will get the speed they advertise. The speed you will be able to get depends on your local exchange and what your line is capable of. So always check the availability before you sign on the dotted line.
Download Limits – The “Unlimited broadband” myth
Many ISPs advertise “Unlimited Broadband” as their unique selling point. Even these so called “Unlimited” download limits do have fair usage policies (usually not well advertised, like most small print). If you use your broadband internet connection just to browse internet, check emails and do some shopping, you may not need a huge download limit or an unlimited deal for which you have to pay more. One of the common impacts of advertising these days is to make you believe that you need something which in fact, may not be true. So know what download limit you need and do not end up paying over the odds because of seeing a flashy advertisement from an internet service provider.
Know your rights
Most of the products you buy online, including your broadband connection will be subject to some cooling off period. Even if you sign up to a one year contract, you may still be able to cancel within, say 14 days or so depending on local regulations.
Compare prices and read consumer reviews
Broadband providers keep changing their offers all the time. If you have seen an advertisement somewhere, whether it is TV or media, do not presume that you will get the same offer. Always check the latest prices when you sign up. Better still, read what other peoples experiences are with the Internet service providers using broadband provider comparison sites.
Last, but not least, consider looking for a latest deal every time you renew your contract. There is a good chance that you might find a better ISP than your current one.

Protect Your Vision and Save Money with Discount Eyewear
Most of the geeks I know have terrible eyesight. Starring into a screen all day will give you headaches and make your eyes weaker. It pays to keep your glasses up to date but that can be expensive. At least it used to be expensive. Now there is an alternative for quality eyeglasses at a low cost.
You may never have heard of Zenni Optical but before long you’ll probably purchase your glasses from them. Imagine getting a super modern set of titanium flexies for under $40. Bet I have your attention now right?
These Zenni folks have it down. You order from their website and they ship the glasses right to you. No trip to the clinic. No salesperson. No retail markup. Just top notch prescription eyeglasses ranging from $8 to $40 with cheap shipping.
Before sharing this I wanted to check them out and with a little searching I found plenty of details at the Examiner website. Just search their site for Zenni Optical and you can find a great review by Eric Hammer.
You might be intimidated by the huge selection of frames in their cart, but if you enter your prescription details the site will make sure you only see frames that will fit your eyes. All you need is the prescription from your eye doctor — which they are legally required to provide to you on request as long as you have had an eye exam with them.
So help yourself to better vision. Don’t let high vision costs ruin your eyes.
