Jan

Forget pretty pictures, forget shopping cart, forget complex navigation systems, forget SEOs and Meta Tags and for get what you know technically about your web site. Tell me what your web site should do for you?

Let the technical matter be taken care by professionals. Just tell us what you want to see. Do you want more visitors? (Of cause. So what kind of people do you want to see visiting your web site.) Do you want more sales? Do you want more information? Or may be you do not want to spend any more money.

You need to start from telling people what you want rom your web site.

Understanding Online Backup

Fact about High-Speed Internet

There are not many people remember when 9600bps was a fast communication. Now days, you are looking at several mega bits for internet download accesses.

So, how fast is the 1 mbps. 1 mbps means 1 mega bit (not byte) per second. 1,000,000 bits per second. That is 125,000 Bps or 125,000 character per second. At this rate you can receive 1 floppy disk full of data (1.44MB) every 11.52 seconds. ! Giga Byte is 1,000 times the Mega Byte. So in order to receive Giga Byte of Data, you must spend 11,520 seconds or 3 hours and 12 minuets.

Now lets look at reality. When the Internet Access Company promise you up to XXmbps, they are promising UP TO that amount. You rarely get that full burst of speed. Besides, when they say XXmbps, that is for download only. So, when you want to send large file,you will need much more time.

Does Online Backup Work?

The answer is Yes, but if you are only backing up data or a system or application. What is that mean? If you are using Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office, you will have no problem backing up all your Excel, WORD and PowerPoint documents online. But you will need a lot of time to backup entire Windows OS and Office Application Programs.

That does not mean you should not back up your OS and application. You hould do so using local disk or Network Storage (on-site). Remember, your LAN (Local Area Network) can be as fast as 1gbps. That is 1,000 times faster than your 1mbps Internet access.

What is the Best Backup Solution?

One of the best setup for small to medium size businesses are:

(1) Setup local storage server to backup entire computer on the LAN.
(2) Use the Off Site Storage for Documents and Data.

This way, if anything were to happen, you have full back up on the premise and in case of total loss at your location, you will have data at off site.

If you need to evaluate your backup storage and your internet access, please contact PSP, Inc. We will be happy to spend time with you to help you evaluate your IT.

About PSPINC SPAM Filtering

PSP, Inc. provides SPAM filtering to it email hosting to our email hosting clients. The setting that we use to filter out SPAM is much less invasive than the one you find in the email services like Gmail. This is because we do not want our customers to loose or miss any email due to the filter that we provide.

In addition to SPAM filtering, we provide the way to recover all the filtered email. Once a day we provide the list of emails that we filtered out. From the list, you can recover any email within the set duration. We are one of the few email hosting company to provide this recover feature. You can look at the SPAM list to find out how much email that we are taking out. We usually filter out 80 to 95% all SPAM emails.

How do you know if we are doing a good job?

Usually, the email client software such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Thunderbird and OS-X Mail come with their own SPAM filtering. When they detect SPAM, they put them into JUNK folder instead of the inbox. Please take a look at how many mails are in the JUNK box. If you have a lot of them in the JUNK, that means we are passing many SPAM in to your mail clients. If there is non or very few in the JUNK, we are filtering out that your email client software also thinks as SPAM mail.

Changing SPAM Filter Settings.

The SPAM setting that we apply will effect thousands of other people. Our SPAM filter is used for all 37,000 domains that we host. When we change our SPAM setting, it effects all of them. So we are very careful in changing any SPAM filter settings. You may feel that we are not moving fast enough, you are right. We cannot rush this setting changes. 
That is being said, we are adjusting the SPAM filter setting as fast as we can to eliminate as much SPAM as possible. So, next time if you feel you have received too many SPAM into your INBOX or JUNK mail boxes, please send some of the email to me. I personally inspect those emails and let you know. Please also check your SPAM out list to make sure we are not stamping valid email as SPAM.

Thank you.

Because everyone has a mobile phone, there is no need for the pay phone any more. And there are more and more people decide to get rid of the land lines.

There will be no use for the cable TV or Satellite TV either soon. People will be watching TV over Internet. I think that is the way it is going to be anyway.

If you are a Mac User, you have lot ...

If you are a Mac User, you have a lot going for you and you know it. But Aperture isn't one of them.

I bought Aperture 3 (Photo Organizing Software) when it came out. It was full of bugs and was not able to use it. It has been a while and there has been many updates for the software. So, yesterday I updating the software to the latest version and imported 49,000 images from iPhoto.

It does not work. Maybe my 2.8Ghz (4GB RAM) iMac is not fast enough, but the software just slows my entire computer down so much that it became useless. I am now deleting the library and getting back to iPhoto.

SPAM with Zipped File

There have been many SPAM email with some kind of ZIP file attached. They came through untouched by our SPAM filtering system. We have been working on the SPAM filter to catch those SPAM emails without affecting any non-SPAM emails. It was not an easy task, but we think we have manage that and deployed to the live servers today.

The changes made to our filtering system should enable us to catch 80 to 100% of SPAM email that has ZIP file attached. This change will only effect the email with ZIP file attached.

We will continue to monitor and eliminate as much SPAM as we logically can. Thank you for supporting http://www.pspinc.com and its web hosting service http://www.dreamersi.net

Nothing is what it seems.

Look at the email above. Doesn't it look like it came from AMAZON.COM?

I don't know where it came from. But it did not come from AMAZON.COM. This is what we call "phishing". This email try to get your credit card information. Do not click on the email like this. At any point, if it takes you to non AMAZON.COM URL, do not proceed.

It is very easy to fake the actual site. But nobody can fake the URL which is the AMAZON.COM part. If you see something like AMAZON.________.COM, it is not AMAZON.

If it sounds too good to be ture...

It sounds like you could bid on the item and get it for really cheap. I found this site on the facebook advertisement. I check the site about what people are saying. It sounds like a scam. If you see it, do not register. There are many sites like this around the world. Do not go there. Use your common sense. You know you cannot get 2010 HONDA CIVIC for $1,600 ot Canon SLR Digital Camera for $30.
