1). BlueHost and Fantastico
BlueHost and Fantastico go so well together that they lend themselves to all sorts of timeless comparisons: Burns and Allen, Astaire and Rogers, Peanut Butter and Jelly or, more relevantly, MySQL and PHP. BlueHost is the web host, Fantastico is the feature; together, they can help you make your website do all sorts of incredible things.
Fantastico (full name: Fantastico DeLuxe) is the leading auto-installer for servers using the cPanel control panel.
2). The Tattoo That Pays You: GoldenPalace.com
It all started with Forehead Goldie, a Utah woman named Karolyne Smith who agreed to have GoldenPalace.com permanently tattooed on her forehead for $10,000 in order to pay for her child to go to school. Since then, GoldenPalace.com, the online casino and poker room more famous for its publicity stunts than its games, has capitalized on what may possibly be the final frontier in display advertising -- the human body.
3). Adult Web Hosting: The Right Way To Do It
It’s still one of the greatest moneymakers on the web. It still gets more traffic than most other web-based industries. So if you’re considering starting an adult website, it is certainly no wonder why. With some business acumen, a bit of ethics, and certain knowledge of the law, you can make quite a living in the adult web hosting industry. The focus of this article is the legalities of running an adult website -- or how to run an adult website without getting yourself in a whole heap of trouble -- and there’s a lot to it.
4). Cheating: Texas Holdem’s First Deadly Sin
Don’t do it. Not at the Texas Holdem table. Not anywhere else. ‘Nuff said. Right?
Oh, you already don’t cheat? Well congratulations and good for you (and for the rest of us too). But as honest as you may be, cheaters do abound, as much in Texas Holdem as in any other game, and you’ll need to know their tricks in order to spot them before they turn them loose on you.
5). The Differences Between Online Poker and Offline Poker
Online poker you can play anytime you want -- 24/7 365. You can play it in total comfort, right from your own home, wearing whatever you like (or nothing at all), sitting, reclining, or jogging on a treadmill (though we don’t recommend it). You can set the lighting, temperature, and ambience to be just as you like it. In many ways, with online poker you simply have more control.
6). Texas Holdem Strategies
The subject of this article is basic Texas Holdem strategy; the common sense guidelines to smart poker that you’d better know well, because your opponents sure do, and they’re using it against you right now. Here we go!
Fold
Forget about what you see on TV. In real Texas Holdem you will be folding more often than anything else. And if you’re not, then you’re probably playing too frivolously.
7). Online Poker Room Psych 101
It’s hard enough to keep it in mind when you’re playing with chips in a casino, but in an online poker room it’s even easier to forget that you’re wagering actual money. When all you’ve got to do to stay in the game is click a button, you can get yourself into loads of trouble, if you’re not careful.
To keep your head (and your trigger finger) “in.
8). How to Read Payout Percentages of Online Casino Games
Each online casino rewards players differently and moreover, each online casino game does as well. You might have heard, for example, that craps has the best payouts of all while the payout percentages for video poker may be less than ideal (this is not a hard fast rule, merely an example). So what does this mean? What are payout percentages, how much.
9). Women at the Casino Online
The fairer sex is fast becoming a dominating presence at nearly every casino online, and not merely as some man’s “lucky charm”. Back in 2002, a study revealed that women made up about 60% of all casino online players. The pit boss only knows what the numbers are today (though one study puts it at 53%) but one thing is for certain: long gone are the days of gambling, whether online or off, being purely a man’s world.
10). Poker Online Etiquette
In a game that has a reputation for being associated with drinking, smoking, lying (as in “bluffing”), and swearing -- not to mention, of course, gambling -- it might be difficult to believe that there are actual mores and ethics that each player is expected to follow, but it’s true. Poker, like any other social activity, requires that everyone involved abide by the same basic tenets of courtesy and order.
11). Betrosexuals: A Poker Online Phenomenon
People wear all sorts of disguises at the poker table: weakness, strength, bluster, naivety. It’s the nature of the game. So it only makes sense that new forms of deception at the poker table would evolve as the popularity of the game’s newest innovation -- poker online -- spread. It’s no wonder then that, when you can’t see the person you’re playing against, there’s a good chance they’re not who they profess to be -- like male or female.
12). Online Casino Gambling: A Global Phenomenon
If you check to see where the headquarters of the online casino gambling establishments that you like to visit are located, you’ll discover that a great percentage of them are based in the Caribbean (there and Gibraltar) -- on the islands of Antigua and Barbuda, specifically. But as of late, a global pool of lawmakers and online casino gambling detractors, including the WTO (World Trade Organization) itself are trying to get these establishments shut down.
13). The Art of Bluffing in Online Poker
Ah, bluffing. When you get it right, you feel like a master strategist; when you get it wrong, you feel like a doofus. Bluffing is lying, to put it plainly. To be more specific, bluffing is lying about the strength or weakness of your hand. There is a common school of poker strategy that teaches to play every good hand as if it were a bad one and every bad hand as if it were a good one.
14). All About Dedicated Hosting Providers
Unless overtly listed otherwise, most web hosting packages you’ll come across in your search are what are called shared hosting providers. What this means is that the server or servers that host your website are simultaneously hosting numerous other websites also. This gives you a discounted rate on web hosting services in exchange for tolerating certain technical constraints, like bandwidth, disk space, upload and download speeds, security and privacy, traffic, and probably the most notable restriction -- total control.
15). The Lessons of “The Gambler” -- or, Getting the Most Out of Your Online Casino Experience
People are just wild about gambling (ourselves included), and that goes for the brick-and-mortar and online casino varieties both. It’s a rush -- like a roller coaster -- a visceral experience that gets our heart pumping, our blood racing, and our neurons firing. And in the excitement of it all, far too often, when we’re immersed in the thrill of the online casino experience, we leave our heads at the door.
16). ASP Hosting Simplified
ASP stands for Active Server Pages. It is a technology that enables users to design and creative interactive pages for their websites, using something called “server-side scripting”. What do we mean by interactive? Forms, in-site search engines, blogs, user forums, newsletters, calendars, WhoIs searches, web-based email, polls, surveys, hit counters and more.
17). Before Choosing a Web Hosting Provider
Not every web hosting plan is built alike, nor is every web hosting provider. When you start shopping around for your next web hosting provider, there are certain criteria you’ll want to hone in on, namely: disk space, bandwidth, upload/download speeds, security and reliability, customer service, references/testimonials, and guarantees. We’ll take them one by one below.
18). If You Can’t Manage (Let Managed Web Hosting Providers Do It For You)
There are three basic types of web hosting providers, at least in terms of the amount of control the user gets and the degree of responsibility the user must take to keep their website up and running consistently and smoothly.
Shared
The first and most prevalent, especially for individuals, organizations, and small businesses, are shared web hosting providers.
19). The Best Online Casino Player Rewards Programs
Whether they’re called VIP programs, Player Rewards Programs, Premium Clubs, Player’s Clubs, or anything of the like, any online casino, to be considered the best online casino, must have one. These programs pump players up with bonuses, prizes, contests, and cash-back rewards (among other great gifts) in addition to any monies the players may win at the actual online casino games.
20). How to Transfer Cheap Hosting Providers
There are several measures you’ll want to take in preparation for switching from one cheap hosting provider to another. To start with, do not under any circumstances cancel your service with your current cheap hosting provider until you’ve completed the switch to your new one and made sure that your site is live on the new cheap hosting company’s servers.
