Recommended Web hosting for WordPress 3.0

WordPress 3.0 was released a few days ago and it is more powerful than ever. And if you remember with WordPress 3 for your blog or even as a CMS, I recommend a self-hosted version rather than the free version on WordPress.com hosted.

So what are the server requirements for host WordPress 3.0? According to the WordPress official website your should meet Web-hosting for WordPress the following minimum requirements:

PHP 4.3 or GreaterMySQL 4.1.2 or GreaterThe Mod_rewrite Apache module (this is necessary to have pretty SEO-friendly URLs)

That WordPress will soon end note support for PHP 4 and MySQL 4 (see official announcement here), so if you plan to continue to use WordPress next year (2011), I recommend that you switch to PHP 5 and MySQL 5, a hosting, use an older version of WordPress, to avoid in the near future if the newer versions support no more PHP 4/MySQL4. DreamHost and BlueHost have PHP 5 and MySQL 5.

I've used more than 10 Web hosting providers for my online projects, but here are my.

DreamHost

DreamHost is a perfect hosting provider for advanced users. Their control panel is a little different to CPanel/Plesk but you have so many more features than CPanel/Plesk if you know what you do. And if you install WordPress with «WordPress One-Click Installer» on DreamHost, you will update it for you automatically. This is a good feature because you have to manually upgrade WordPress, a new version is released. But you must be careful not to the core code or core files of WordPress hack because your changes will be overwritten when you install a new version. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on assistance for DreamHost, but I never really to contact because their knowledge are quite comprehensive and wiki. I use DreamHost for this Web development blog, and it is my hosting provider for developers and technical savvy people recommend. DreamHost costs $8.53 per month that a bit more expensive than the most shared hosting, but you get what you pay and you can get $30 by using this coupon: WEBDEV30.

Test drive DreamHost now.

7 Link challenge for Web development blog

ProBlogger is having a 7 link challenge and loads all bloggers to participate. The idea of the challenge is to create a blog post, links to 7 different posts on your blog or other people blogs. It sound fun and so I thought I would go to him for this Web development blog type.

1. First post
The first blog post for Web development blog written 2005 at Christmas for almost 5 years ago. It is titled welcome to all things Web.

(2) A post which I most enjoyed writing
I enjoyed almost all write Web development tutorials on this blog because you write gives me a sense of satisfaction to share my knowledge with other developers around the world.

3. An Office which had a great discussion
I wrote a tutorial on removing via .htaccess file extension in 2007 3 years ago, but it is still the most popular blog post on this blog, linked by many and most of the comments - thanks to developers and webmasters have questions, or help each other number.

(4) A post on someone's blog that you wish you had written
This is a very tough one, because there are many blog posts that I like. But if I had to choose it would be all programmers blog written why by Jörg Müller. I would like to see personally more blogs by programmers and developers. I think we have too many designer blogs but not so many developer blogs.

5. Your most helpful post
My most helpful post must Web hosting comparison chart I put together. From disclosure post, I received many emails from friends and blog readers, asked me the same question which host do, I recommend? It's very hard to one hosting company recommend to everyone, because the requirements for each site are different. But after writing this blog post if someone asked me the question, I could just the link and can your own decision. I think helpful posts are those who provide an answer to a question.

6. A post with a title that you are proud
I'm not much of a writer, so my post titles are never entertaining or catchy. But this title certainly catches almost everyone's attention, "Making a Passive Income Online". And I am proud and amazed at the same time, because I try hard not to come up with, that the title.

(7) A job, you want more people had read
I wish more people read my rant "so not show websites/blogs like" and gave their 2cents worth.

Five important steps in iPhone application development for beginners

So I released two native iPhone apps in the past 2 months. The first iPhone app is called salary calculator and it appeared on 06 October 2010. The app was submitted to iTunes connect to 28 September 2010.

The second app was called a niche app for real estate investors in Australia, cash flow calculator property. It was developed in a few hours on a weekend in iTunes connect on 24 October 2010 and was made available on APP store on 03 November 2010.

Many people have asked me if iPhone app development is difficult or if it is worth the effort. My answer is, while it's not super easy, it's not impossible if you are willing to learn a new language and syntax. It helps also, if you want a destination that you have (for example, an app in mind, you want to develop), rather than merly reading tutorials or books on iPhone app to achieve development. I created a few iPhone Web apps for my Web development company and therefore my main goal was, to some of you in native applications convert.

Here are five important steps I before becoming my first (and second) iPhone apps.

1. Buy a Mac. This is one of the most expensive investments, you have in iPhone app to make development step. I have a MacBook Pro and a MacBook Air or a Mac mini would good work. You need a Mac because iPhone software development kit (SDK) only on the Apple platform works.

2. Buy an iPhone. Although it is not absolutely necessary, it is advisable to have before you develop an iPhone app an iPhone. Although the iPhone SDK with an iPhone Simulator with an app on a real iPhone a much better understanding comes you and experience as an app works. You can download existing apps that are available for an inspiration on app store. A second hand if you a second hand mind dont you can get iPhone handset from Amazon or eBay half price.

3. Download you forth and install iPhone SDK. iPhone SDK comes with XCode, iPhone Simulator and a suite of additional tools for developing applications for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. According to Apple XCode is the hub of your development experience and I tend to agree. XCode is just an IDE such as Eclipse and Dreamweaver but it is for app development on Mac. Need XCode to develop, compile, test, share and send your iPhone app touch SDK can be downloaded free of charge for free. You need only pay for the developer program (USD99/year), if you want to test the app that you on a real iPhone (instead of the iPhone Simulator) written have and send it to the APP store.

4. Read and learn. Now, you have everything set up and ready for your first iPhone app development, start read and learn all about how an iPhone app to develop. This is a very important step, because the learning curve can be pretty steep for those, the no C / C

What to look for in terms of Web development

It is interesting, through the process to see companies, if a Web site strategy for your online presence to plan. After you have decided you need to start a Web site which examine content you want to have. The majority of companies believe that you need a page talking about you, so you add a page "about us" to your site.

Secondly, you want your products or services to discuss, so you add a "Products" or "Services" page on your site.

The most important on the new site visitors is that the ability to handle the company or contact requests is that where the infamous "contact us" page became popular.

I am sure that you've seen these types of pages on almost every site you ever saw.  If took the plunge and worked to get your first site online probably everybody had the objective to increase your business by tapping into the "treasure chest" on the Internet provides for us. This is the main motivation behind tons of websites. The problem with this Web development process is that it absolutely wrong.  This does not mean that a company make no sales or receive all calls by putting together your site this way.   But you are likely to do the potential revenue of your website through it Iimpacting and much could do better.

The first problem with this tired old navigation structure is it offer no benefits to potential buyers and, if you specify a value for your customers, you leave and go to another site that does. These visitors take care of you, your products or your services.  You only care about what it is for you! If the the case why spend anytime blathers about your company, products, services and on creating a site, and then you with a page to deliver can you contact? Or ultimately, why would you do and expect success with your online ventures?

If your goal is a visitor coming to your site to absorb the content and have at the end of the decision to do business with your company instead of the competition, must demonstrate, you are worthy!

Is the best way for you to impress visitors to your site provide value to you before you ask you to buy your products or services.  You can accomplish this by you to download of a free report, or perhaps a voucher or code for a special price to your listings. Really stand out as the crowd can you insert a section on your site that educates your potential customers by including article.

Each potential buyer has answered the question in your head, "Why should I buy from you?" If you land on your site. It is your responsibility to answer this question.  Buyers want to work with a person who is knowledgeable about the products you are looking to make intelligent decisions on your situation.

If a user happens to read a few articles on your site on a familiar situation applies, which you can tell the person who wrote it, is very knowledgeable, there is a much better chance of visitors to your customer. Dramatically increases the odds that will remain on your site, and you must not your competitors website (and even if you visit your competitors, you will see that you offer more value).

You are what business that everything necessary you have done to get your business accept, because you have a website and a perspective visited.  You must use the website as a platform to prove your credibility, and once you have make it easy for you to buy from you. You will dramatically increase your chances for online success!

Withdraw to your business on a competitive level, there are several things you can do. The first is that all companies, both online and offline, need a good representative business website. Once upon a time you could rely on an ad in the yellow pages, the attention for your company, but this is no longer the case. More and more people are now getting online and do a quick Google search in an attempt to find companies you need.

Why the change in the trend? For starters, it takes a few seconds to do a quick Google search that much faster than flipping through a telephone directory.

Many companies hold databases and Excel spreadsheets, but no meaningful way show or the data to analyze and this is where online dashboards can help. Take data from spreadsheets or databases, or even online forms and present it in a meaningful graphic form. This provides instant and Visual tracking of metrics and immediately provides the data to be useful to the Viewer.

Web application development is another growing field, both large and small companies can benefit. Online-Web-based applications are all employees with Internet access and can in the smooth running of the company by integrating multiple tasks to support. Web applications include simple tools such as calculators and different analytical programs, or potentially complex document editors, Web mail or survey tools, essentially, any type of application, which may be necessary are used by several employees of a company.

While some such Web applications are easy, others are quite complex and need custom are designed for the individual needs of a particular undertaking. This Web-based applications are more useful than traditional software applications in many ways, as any computer can be used, and to be easily integrated in any particular business.

Web applications are also very versatile because you from anywhere is accessible on any computer where an Internet connection. This makes it possible for employees to work from home or on business trips or whatever, to access the applications. With Web-based applications, there are no hardware or software conflicts and work just as well on different computers running different operating systems.
