Liquidweb dedicated servers have been reviewed again and apparently Liquidweb was able to impress the author with great web hosting support and service. We have talked about Liquidweb in the past as well and it seems like that the guys over WHRKit are seeing the same things we are seeing. Liquidweb keeps the bar pretty high and offers great dedicated web servers and backs them up with excellent tech support as well. If you have not used Liquidweb yet, check out this 5 month review of Liquidweb.

If you do not know Liquidweb, check them out. Liquidweb is in business since 1997 and offers shared web hosting as well as fully managed servers at very low prices. They are recognized as an industry leader, too.

ThePlanet.com is my favorite web host. I have been a customer with them pretty much since 2004. About a year ago I swapped my old server for a new one based on one of their super specials that they had last summer. I could not be happier. The server is rocking and uptime is high. Summer is (inofficially) here and ThePlanet.com is kicking their promotional efforts into high gear. ThePlanet.com is having a huge sale going on that you don’t want to miss.

If you are promoting your business through Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising, you might have heard of products like SpeedPPC and Efficient PPC. The 2 software packages provide an easier way to automate some of the chores of PPC advertising. You can easily build huge lists of long-tail keywords and then use dynamic insertion of the same into the PPC ad and the link to your landing page. The basics for both software are the same, but there are some significant differences underneath the hood you should be aware about.

Efficient PPC is cheaper, but requires a monthly subscription that easily adds up. SpeedPPC is more expensive to buy, but does not come with any recurring fees other than a small annual support fee (normal in the commercial software area). SpeedPPC also offers more features and is a very mature product. Development of a new version has been lagging a little bit, but a new version is slated to be released by the end or March – effectively raising the bar. Efficient PPC has the advantage to pick some areas where SpeedPPC is not as good as it could be (looking at the old version – not the soon to be released one). However, Efficient PPC has failed to close the gaps by leaving other items out that I would consider critical when comparing the 2 tools and deciding on which one is the best option.

I am looking forward to follow both products and see how they do 6-12 months down the road. Competition is good as it might help to drive improvements of the software. I highly recommend to read up on both products before buying either one. Here is another website that has posted an Efficient PPC Review.

Efficient PPC is the newcomer, while SpeedPPC is very mature and established. The price difference in the beginning is significant. I am sure we will see some changes on both sides once the competition heats up.

A friend of mine lost a hard drive due to the drive crashing on her and with the drive lots of personal data vaporized. Fortunately for my friend she had implemented a safety net for her data with frequent backups to a DVD. Still – some stuff was gone forever due to the last backup being 2 weeks old. I recommended on online data backup service to her and she was sold instantly. She did not even know that services like that did exist.

I noticed that the Web Hosting Resource Kit has written about this topic as well. I highly recommend to check it out and get started to protect yourself from the risk of losing personal data in an unexpected hard drive crash.
