Green Hosting for the Future

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

I guess that you’ve already read thousands of articles and blog posts about this issue. Nevertheless I still find it important to say something about green hosting. Most other major industries have a game plan when it comes to the environment and why shouldn’t web hosts also have it? It’s an industry that’s constantly on the rise and it affects many peoples life. We should all do what we can to keep our earth healthy.

I think that it’s partially up to the web hosting providers and partially up to the consumers to act when it comes to green hosting. Hosting providers should, of course, already have some kind of a plan when it comes to this. One example of things to do is to have a paper free work place. If they haven’t a plan for the environment it’s up to the consumers to put some pressure on these companies. I think that you would be surprised over how much influence the “little person” has over the big companies. After all, without the consumers the web hosting industry wouldn’t do as well as it’s doing right now. So everybody unite and let’s make the best for this planet’s future!

How did they get my e-mail address?

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

It may be that the spammer has just made a lucky guess using software which automatically generates possible e-mail addresses.

If your e-mail address is fairly obvious it can be guessed easily. Try to use combinations of numbers and letters, and the longer or more obscure the address the harder it will be to guess.

When you register on a web site or sign up for things like newsletters and membership accounts you may actually be opening the door to receive e-mail marketing spam from these sites and their partners. Most trustworthy sites should give you the option of not receiving advertising mails when you sign up.
