What’s New Newsletter Vol. 178 “Create Temporary Menus with ImaMenu”

Jul

27

Recently, we noticed more website traffic for our free menu builder, ImaMenu, and saw it was going toward a customer’s menu site. Except it wasn’t what we expected; the menu wasn’t just your average restaurant menu, but it was instead the restaurant’s secret menu, which generally includes dishes restaurants can make but chose not to advertise. And it just reminded us how incredibly creative people can be.

ImaMenu can be used for much more than we ever intended it to. It doesn’t have to just stop at just a secret menu; you can create seasonal or other types of temporary menus, perfect for restaurants that love to take advantage of seasonal products. Or you can use it to use up a limited supply of a certain ingredient or create a menu for an event. ImaMenu makes it easy and free to create a temporary online menu. You can even add pictures to better entice your customers! Just sign up for free to get started.

What’s New Newsletter Vol. 175 “High-Quality Web Hosting”

Jul

6

Web hosting is about more than just getting your website online. Investing in a good web hosting service ensures better security, better customer service, and better maintenance support. A good web hosting service provides an SSL certificate for your site. That way, users won’t encounter an error page, warning them that their connection isn’t secure when entering a URL. And the service should also include frequent backup services. If something were to happen, like accidentally deleting an important file, you’ll still have your backups to rely on.

Dreamersi is our premiere web hosting service with email hosting, VPS packages, and more robust SSL certificate options, available as add-ons. In all our Dreamersi web hosting plans, our customers get a free domain, free access to WebdeXpress, our easy-to-use web builder, data backups, domain validation (DV) SSL certificates, and world-class support. We’ve had over 20 years of experience providing high-quality web hosting services to small businesses everywhere. Get started today.

What’s New Newsletter Vol. 173 “Invest in a Go-To IT Company”

Jun

21

Getting good quality IT support is an underrated service. Only when something breaks do you need to call someone to assist you. So, having a go-to IT company for when you need it is a good idea. When you frequent one company for your IT services, it’ll result in better response times and a better experience overall because, after a while, the hope is that they’ll remember you and your problems from the last time you called. If the company’s local, that’s even better because you won’t have to worry about long-distance call expenses, and they can come out to help you if you need on-site technical support.

Unfortunately, the IT industry, as a whole, doesn’t have the best reputation when it comes to customer service. People have complained about long wait times, unfriendly, and lack of follow-up. That’s exactly why we focus so much of our IT support efforts on making sure our customers have the best experience. When you call for IT support from us, our team has an incredible reputation, working closely with our customers to help with whatever technological need they have. So, consider making us your go-to IT company, and reach out to our IT support team for any questions.

What’s New Newsletter Vol. 171 “Reminder to Switch Over to Google Analytics 4”

Jun

8

In case you missed it, Google Analytics is sun-setting Universal Analytics (UA) at the beginning of next month. In 2020, Google Analytics introduced Google Analytics 4 (GA4), giving users the option to use either. Now, to favor GA4 over UA, Google Analytics will stop collecting and processing data for UA properties starting July 1st. With more users becoming concerned about their privacy online over the last few years, many opt out of tracking cookies when surfing the web. UA relies heavily on cookies to track user behavior, but GA4 uses event-based modeling to gather data.

If you haven’t already opted out, it’ll automatically switch your site over to GA4, but we recommend you make the switch sooner rather than later. The sooner you switch, the more data you’ll collect in the new system. With that data, it’ll help determine trends and insights to help you improve your upcoming business and marketing plans. For directions on how to switch manually, head over to one of our older blog posts. If you need more help to migrate your data from UA to GA4, give us a call! We have experts ready to help you with your SEO and other marketing needs.

What’s New Newsletter Vol. 169 “Learn Japanese Online”

May

25

If you didn’t already know, Pacific Software Publishing Inc. (PSPINC) started as a one-man operation in 1987 by our founder, Kenichi Uchikura. While we’re known for our web hosting services, the original vision for this company was to popularize the PC in Japan, which was aided by the fact that our CEO is Japanese. Since then, PSPINC has grown immensely as we now offer multiple different digital products and services. But we still boast a focus on offering our services in Japanese. So, it only made sense to also offer Japanese language-learning services as well.

With Japanese-Online (JOL), you can learn how to speak and write Japanese with articles, tutors, and lessons on the Japanese language and culture! Find free language and culture guides and subscribe to our weekly email newsletters by heading over to our website, Japanese-Online.com.

Dreamersi Mail V5: New In-Email Spam Reporting Feature!

When you report an email as spam, it will lead you to a page where:

in-email spam email

· The message removal option is checked by default
· You can choose to add the sender to your personal spam filter

When you report an email as not spam (“Looks okay”), it will lead you to a page where:

report email as not spam

· You can click on the “Submit” button to report the email as not spam to help our spam filter system improve its accuracy

In both instances, you’ll also receive a “Thank you for your report” page and a Thank you email.

The 'Report Spam Banner' option is also turned off by default, so unless you manually go in to turn it on, you won't see the report banner. To turn it on, go to 'Spam Filter Settings' and select 'On' in the 'Report spam banner' option at the bottom. Then click 'Save' and you will then see the banner the next time you receive an email that may look like spam.

What’s New Newsletter Vol. 167 “Make Calls Easily with Tap-To-Call”

May

11

When our CEO, Ken Uchikura, realized his parents were having trouble calling him on their phones, he had an idea. If it was this hard for his parents to call people, it must be a problem other senior citizens face, too. That’s why he created Tap-To-Call. As the name suggests, users can easily make phone calls, as well as video calls, with the tap of a button!

While many senior citizens own a smartphone, about 42% according to Pew Research Center, technology evolves quickly. Even for younger people, keeping up with how fast technology changes can be difficult. Tap-To-Call makes it easier for those who aren’t as tech-savvy. For just $0.99, it’s easy to add, edit, and/or remove contacts. Just download the app on the iOS App Store to get started.
