Among the many services that we offer, domain registration is one of the most common that we provide. This allows you to secure an online presence for your business and use it for your website and email. While it has been many years since we have changed any of our prices for this service, times and domain costs have changed and as a result, we are planning to adjust our yearly pricing.

Effective May 1st, 2021, we will be changing our domain registration prices based on the below table.

Please note that domain registration fees are included with any of our Dreamersi annual hosting plans. There will be no change in price for customers that have a domain associated with a hosting plan.

PSPinc What's New Newsletter Vol.57 "What is SEO?"

Apr

For website owners, have you ever wondered why you have a website? The purpose of a website is to let people know about your company, products, and services. This is the same as a billboard or a brochure, which is why it is important to put signs where more people can see them and to distribute brochures to more people.

So what can you do to get more people to see your website? Many people use search engines such as Google to find the services or products that they need. Therefore, it is important to make it easy for people to find you on search engines. This act of making it easy to be found on search sites is called SEO.

SEO stands for “Search Engine Optimization”, which generally means making changes to the structure and content of the website you want to promote to increase its visibility for search engines. By making these specific and targeted changes, you make it easier for people to find your website by increasing its ranking on search sites.

What do you need to change and how? How long does it take to see results after doing SEO updates? I'm sure you have a lot of questions. If you do, please feel free to contact us.

#RestaurantsAreBack - how you can help restaurants recover

Mar

Dining and hospitality have been one of the hardest hit industries from Covid-19. As we look to overcome this pandemic and get back to business, restaurants need your support and we want to help!

We at Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. empathize with the struggles restaurants continue to face due to the Covid-19 pandemic. For this reason we have been hard at work to develop tools specifically designed to help those struggling during these historically devastating times.

Arguably the most noteworthy tool that we’ve designed specifically for restaurants is ImaMenu - which allows restaurants to create a complete digital menu which can then be accessed easily by scanning a QR code with your phone. It’s helpful for patrons, easy to use for restaurants, and completely free.

Learn more about ImaMenu.

We’re also encouraging everyone to support your local restaurants by helping to spread awareness through social media. Here’s how you can help:

Take a photo of a dining experience or your favorite take out
Post it to Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #RestaurantsAreBack
Tag the restaurant in your post (it’s important that you actually tag the restaurant’s account in your post for them to benefit)
Spread the word to anyone you know working in dining and hospitality that there are free tools available that can help them recover at restaurantsareback.com

Learn more about the Restaurants Are Back initiative.

PSPinc What's New Newsletter Vol.56 "Why SSL and the SEO Effect"

Mar

Vol. 56

SSL is an acronym for Secure Socket Layer, which encrypts communication between a website and the browser. The encryption ensures that passwords, credit card numbers, birthdates, etc. that the user 'enters' cannot be stolen during the communication.

In addition to this, SSL has another major role to play, it authenticates the owner of the site.

For example, our company's domain name is PSPINC.COM. But there is no proof that PSPINC.COM is Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. To issue SSL, the website owner needs to be certified, a legitimate company can be identified by this level of certification.

If a website does not have a certificate or does not have SSL, not only will the page not show up in some browsers but in many cases, it will not show up on search engines like Google. Therefore, we recommend that you authenticate your website with SSL.

If you have any questions about obtaining SSL, please contact us at support@pspinc.com. You do not need to be our customer to contact us.

Custom Development with PSPinc

Mar

What is custom development?

Custom development is the designing of software applications for a specific user or group of users. This custom software is usually designed to address specific needs within an organization, and is distinct from commercial off-the-shelf packaged software.

At PSPinc, we have the experience and know-how required to build the custom applications that businesses need when out-of-box solutions won’t cut it. Our team of developers utilize a variety of programming languages and have in-depth knowledge of database design.

What is the process for having a custom application built?

Our custom development process consists of 3 parts:

Consultation - We will meet with you to discuss your unique business challenges and brainstorm software solutions that cater to your specific needs.

Documentation - Depending on the complexity and scope of the project, we can prepare a blueprint that will be a roadmap for the project at hand.

Development - Using the appropriate programming language of choice we will build, test, and deliver a custom application to you.

What are some examples of applications PSPinc has built for others?

Nacalai USA - For this San Diego based life science research company we developed an online cart and ordering system that allows administrators to customize products and categories within a custom built content management system.

Sakura Rent-a-Car - Our team of developers created a multi-lingual inventory and reservation management system for this LA based car rental business.

PSPinc What's New Newsletter Vol.55 "What happens if you have an internal mail server?"

Mar

Vol. 55

What is the point of having an internal mail server? I am currently developing an in-house mail server at my company, Pacific Software Publishing, Inc.

I think the biggest advantage of having an in-house mail server is that there is no capacity or account limit. For example, if I wanted to create and manage 500 email accounts, the cost would be higher than if I wanted to create and manage 100 email accounts. However, if you have an in-house mail server, this problem goes away.

Now let's think about the disadvantages. There are many disadvantages, so I will list them here.

Challenging to set up a server
SPAM countermeasures are difficult
Can't deal with abnormalities on the server
Managing accounts isn’t easy

To solve these problems, the mail server we are developing will be operated through our mail server infrastructure. In short, we will manage all of the mail flow so that even if the mail server is broken, there will be no problem in sending and receiving mail until the internal server is restored. We also perform all SPAM and virus checks in advance.

Once you sign up, we will set up and send you a mail server. We will soon be offering a service that provides a large and stable mail environment at a low cost. With this server there will be no limits on mail capacity or on the number of accounts (there are hardware limitations) - please stay tuned.

A free and powerful tool for your small business

Mar

Many small businesses can’t afford to pay top dollar for software solutions, nor do they have hours of time to spare to train their employees how to use it. If this applies to your business then let me introduce you to PSP Pilot, a free cloud based application which will help to streamline your daily workflow. It’s completely intuitive and easy to use, no matter what your employee’s age or background. At its core PSP Pilot consists of these three major features:

Client Database

First and foremost PSP Pilot allows you to aggregate all of your customer data into one easy-to-use interface. Store contact info, files, notes, and much more. Easily import and export your existing clients via CSV file. Best of all, client interaction is all tracked and displayed with the included Activity Log, so you can easily pull up your client interaction history. Never worry about forgetting the little details ever again!

Employee Portal

Create a profile for each of your employees. You can include as much or as little info as you want. Photos, contact info, date of hire, etc. As your employees log in and make updates their work will be tracked. You can set administrators as needed. Employees will be notified of new tasks or important files.

Task Management

PSP Pilot makes it easy to create and manage tasks. Add and organize notes, attach files, schedule completion dates, set priority levels, add comments and much more. Best of all, the activity log will track all updates to a task. When you pull up a task, you’ll be able to see who has updated what, and when.

Since it’s completely free, you really have no reason not to give PSP Pilot a try. I think you’ll like what you see, and the time and energy it can save you!
