Fatcow Web Hosting Review

IMG_9159_60_61-2I have finally decided to post a review of my domain host company.  If you don’t know already, I have been using Fatcow for quite some time now.  I switched over from using another company that has a very similar layout and setup and even prices.  Heck, I even noticed that when I login and try to contact support for something I need help with, it still has my auto fill in the box. 

Fatcow has been pretty good, but I have noticed that when wanting to host websites that require a little more work such as scripting or SQL events you probably should upgrade to something a little more of their add-ons than just trying to host your SQL page without their input.  I had my Wordpress site hosted on it for years and noticed that things would start to run slow now and then.  Turns out the database was getting bogged down.  I had to switch to another host for the blog site because Fatcow’s basic plan servers couldn’t handle it. 

The layouts are pretty easy and it allows me to setup an FTP folder for easier upload access from Adobe Dreamweaver and many other Web Design programs.  I know that most users probably use FTP services that are built into programs more but a lot of people prefer to have someone else do the work.  That is what is great about Fatcow because you have unlimited access to pages, subdomains and so much more. 

I want you all to go out and try Fatcow and let me know what you think.  If you have another web domain host that you have been working with then let us hear about it.  I would love to get your feedback.  By you signing up with Fatcow using the link below I will get a $25 voucher towards an upgrade. 

Host your website with FatCow!

Your PC On On A Virus

I was working on some computers this weekend not to mention my own.  The customer PC’s I was working on didn’t have Antivirus protection and I thought, “Why in the world would you go running around on the internet without Antivirus protection.”  That would be like running around in the HIV capital of the world having unprotected sex and hoping that you will be ok.  Get Antivirus protection people!  There are a lot of FREE programs out there that will help protect your PC from unwanted programs and viruses that are all over the web.  I always use and recommend Avast because its FREE and not to mention it doesn’t put too much strain on your system resources like some of those expensive Antivirus programs out there. 

Quick overview, if your PC is running a lot slower than it used to when you bought it and you are running Internet Explorer and notice that your Toolbar is covered with all of these different toolbars then chances are you are already infected.  Go out and get an Antivirus program that is going to protect your PC.  If your Antivirus program is not on the list below then you are wrong!

Avast
Kapersky
AVG
Norton
TrendMicro

If you have any questions or need help with your PC then just let me know and I will help you get rid of the unwanted pest.

Thanks for stopping by!

Semper Fidelis,
