3 Key Features of Tablet PCs
Congratulations on your decision to buy a new Tablet PC. With so many choices out there, here are the three most important features to keep in mind as you choose.
The Low Down on Domain Names
What is a Domain Name?
Every computer that connects to the internet is assigned a unique string of numbers called an IP address. But, like phone numbers, passwords and your spouse’s birthday, IP addresses can be difficult to impossible to remember. That’s where a Domain Name comes in.
Instead of making humanity memorize random strings of numbers for every website they want to visit or email they want to send, we give our sites “real” names such as www.ComputerGeeks2Go.com or http://www.weather.com, etc. These names are much easier to remember than 50.22.79.124 or 96.8.84.121.
Website Design – Why Hire a Pro
Why hire a professional web designer?
In our technology savvy world, your website may be your clients’ first impression of you. The first thing many of us do when we hear of a new gadget, author, restaurant, store, etc. is to check out their website. If the website is ugly, or worse, non-existent, that’s the end of our interest.
Here’s where ComputerGeeks2Go can help.
Qualities of an Effective Website
Think about the websites you visit on a regular basis. What is it about those sites that compels you to bookmark them and return often?
Is it the way they look?
Is the content interesting and the text on the page is easy to read?
Are the products and information you’re looking for easy to find?
Web Hosting Explained
What is a web host?
“Web Host”, “Web Hosting” and “Web Servers” are fancy terms for “the place where my website sits.”
Think of a web host like this: Your friend invites you to a party at her house. She is your host and her house is the space where you’re partying.
When you build a website, the “hosting” company you sign up with is your host and their web server is the space where your site will reside.
