My Review on Hosgator Web Hosting

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

As an Internet marketer with a handful of blogs I need to manage, choosing the right blog hosting service provider is one of the most vital factor I need to take into consideration. It is just like looking for the right property vendor when it comes to buying an office space for a business.

In fact, I am not very sure about the property vendor in the outside world but I personally use Hostgator to host all my websites and blogs. You might have heard about it somewhere when it comes to web hosting. People might have bragged about it and you have probably read a lot of reviews about Hostgator.

However, the reasons why I choose Hostgator as my web hosting provider is because of the following reasons.

You probably do not know a lot about me but I am a very greedy person. The first criteria that I look into is the disk space provided by the service provider. The lowest disk space available in their plans is 350GB. I knew I would not need so much space for my website even all of them all up together. However, as greedy as I am it is simply irressistable to miss an offer like this.

My second factor of choosing a web hosting provider is the customer support they provide. After much research and comparisons, I would not even bother to go through the technical process from scratch.

A wise person will make full use of every single resrouce available. Their customer support is live most of the time and whenever my server is down or not working properly, I would simply go to their website and make a shout as loud as I want.

The third and the most important factor is the price. I am greedy yet I am a very stingy person. I want the best value with the minimal price possible. Hostgator’s prices are very reasonable and the reason it got me to commit to them is the $0.01 hosting deal. I got to pay $0.01 for the first month just for the sake of trying out and if I am happy, I would continue to subscribe to their hosting plan.

I had the try out and indeed I was very happy with them. Otherwise, you would not be seeing this post I have written today. I simply recommend the best and I believe it would benefit you in the same way.

Eat Less, Train Less, Live Longer

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Did you see that article on MSNBC about living longer?

“While the quest for the proverbial Fountain of Youth is endless and typically fruitless, one method known to extend the human lifespan by up to five years has quietly become accepted among leading researchers. The formula is simple: Eat less. It could add years to your life, several experts now say. And done in moderation, it could at least help you live a more healthy life.”

Really? Eat less. Live longer?

Who’d thunk?

But seriously, why is this the case? And more importantly, why do so many other health and fitness pros give the opposite advice, often asking you to eat 5-8 times a day? Is there some common ground?

Yes there is. But first let’s look at why eating less can mean living longer.

That article went on to say:

“Calorie restriction, as it is called, is as close to a real Fountain of Youth as any known technique comes. Even scientists who are cautious about anti-aging hype say it works, both by cutting risks for some diseases and by allowing all body cells, somehow, to hang in there longer.

“This is just part of the story. As usual, the mainstream media doesn’t always bother to give you the entire picture.

Eating less is a bit over-simplistic. Caloric restriction is based on “quantitative” reduction, not simply eating like a bird or starving yourself. That will never work. You won’t stick to it and your body certainly won’t bother to burn off its spare bodyfat when it thinks you’re in a stone age famine.

The key is to avoid overtraining in the gym like the plague. Too much training and you’ll be forced to eat more food — usually not a good thing.

Jon Benson’s new system “7 Minute Muscle” is perfect for someone who is wanting to not spend their lives in the kitchen or in the gym. This is REQUIRED READING if you really want to see how great you can look in the least amount of time possible. Sure, you work hard. There’s no pills or gadgets involved. But it’s worth every minute… all 7 of them!
