Disadvantages of Reseller Hosting
There are actually quite a few disadvantages to reseller hosting, even though many people might like you to think otherwise. This is because everyone got sucked into getting reseller hosting for themselves, and now they are desperate to sell off some hosting accounts in order to make some of their money back. The problem actually comes when they start to get those customers. In fact, many of the reasons people should think twice about investing in reseller hosting is due to the customers that inevitably make everything that much harder and time consuming. The top disadvantages are:
Less Time for Your Own Endeavors
Once you start making use of a reseller account, you will quickly learn how much time and effort it takes to keep things running smoothly. Hosting clients will have a lot of questions, problems and even dramas that you will be expected to take care of. If you are trying to run your own websites and online businesses separate from your hosting sales, you will probably have a hard time accomplishing this.
Wasted Money
If you dont have any hosting customers you might be spending money on a monthly reseller hosting account that you dont need which results in wasted money. On the other hand even with hosting customers you will probably be forced to come out of pocket in order to fix issues and handle customer problems without any way to recoup that money at a later time. This means that unless you have a huge list of customers, youll probably lose some money for awhile.
Loss of Focus
Its very easy to lose your focus when you are constantly faced with the problems of others. When you have customers that depend on your ability to keep things running smoothly you will deal with problems of all kinds, including those that you can do nothing about. This all takes away from your business, and your ability to focus on building it or even doing the basics like maintaining it.
Try This Instead
If you want to look into other options aside from reseller hosting, the good news is that you can find what you are looking for. For example, over at Pacework, you can find plenty of great services that will meet your needs. You can find hosting to fit the needs of all your websites, and you can even get an online website builder that will help you to get things done while saving money and bypassing all the worries and problems that come along with so many other kind of web hosting accounts.
While reseller hosting might look good at first glance, you should really take the time to sit down and think it through before making a commitment. It can be time consuming to switch your account information to a new service if it doesnt work out for you, so make sure you know what youre getting into before you sign up.
Read product reviews, take the time to learn about new services and opportunities that might be out there on the market, and dont sell yourself short. Make sure that the service you choose is well worth the money, and that you wont have to switch services again sometime in the future because of circumstances you should have recognized beforehand.

Is My PC Vulnerable on the Internet? (Page 1 of 2)
Think about this: Is a simple antivirus application enough to protect your PC against all threats?
No longer are viruses the only threat on the internet. In recent years other threats have evolved which include spyware, adware, hacking, identity theft, information theft, pop-ups and the loss of information.
Lets begin with the basics. We all need to protect our PC in the same way we protect our home, car and bank account. We wouldnt give a stranger the keys to our car, home or bank account now would we. If you dont protect your PC it is like giving the keys to a stranger and letting him/her have full access to your PC. Once the stranger has the keys they can snoop around and take whatever they want. I know, your thinking how can they do this, my computer is in my house and my doors are locked. Well, today you can be anywhere in the world and access someones computer via the internet. Since the introduction of cable modems and DSL everyones PC is online all the time and accessible.
Why do I need to protect my PC, I dont keep any important information on it? Ask yourself a couple of questions.
1. Do I bank online? 2. Do I shop online? 3. Do I create documents, spreadsheets? 4. Do I let other people use my PC? 5. Do I download music, files onto my PC?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then your PC is vulnerable. If you bank online then you are sending personal confidential information to your bank via the Internet. For Example: Lets say you are infected with spyware and you are typing in your account number plus password. A spyware installation can record key strokes and then send them off to a site on the internet. Now the person who setup the site has your account number and password to your bank. Here is one more example, if you answered yes to I let other people use my pc, here is what happens. The other person decides that they like this new cool piece of software. They download and double click on the exe, msi or whatever installs the software. The adware, spyware or virus installs. Now the infection is installed and now it can start stealing confidential information or cause havoc on your PC. You get onto the PC as always, since you dont know this has happened and start doing what you always do, type documents, go to chat rooms, do your banking online, reconcile your banking with quicken and all this time your confidential information is stolen and you are completely unaware that this occurred.
The million dollar question, what do I do? Well, you can follow this approach. 1. Install a Spyware application and install and configure correctly. If you already have spyware application installed make sure it is up to date and make sure that is configured properly. 2. Install an Adware application and install and configure properly. If you already have adware application installed make sure it is up to date and make sure that is configured properly. 3. Install an AntiVirus application and install and configure properly. If you already have antivirus application installed make sure it is up to date and make sure that is configured properly. 4. Install backup software, why because if something does get through your defenses or delete something by accident you always have a way of retrieving the information. You should try to backup your system at least every other day. 5. Install Encryption software. This software will encrypt files like word docs, spreadsheets, banking file on quicken. This way if someone does steal your information they will not be able to read it. 6. Install a Firewall. The Firewall can either be software or hardware based. I would install both especially if you bring your laptop with you and connect to the internet at different locations. The Firewall will block hackers trying to scan your system while you are on the Internet.
