Life Goes On and On

It has been a long time since I have made a post and I wanted to share an explanation.

I have become separated,quit my job, moved to another state, set up a new residence.
Plenty on life changing events. I have not lost my desire to keep up with chronicling my
efforts to supporting myself by working online.

I still have www.excellentcorvettes.com and also www.directoryofchannels.com

The latter website has not been completely configured and is a work in progress.
The site will become a directory of channels and video's. I still have to learn how to
modify it to best serve up great content and to best monetise the site. All in do time I guess.

Stay tuned for more......

Linux or Windows Hosting

Today I had GoDaddy revert my hosting from Windows to Linux. I feel pretty guilty for deserting Microsoft.

When I signed on with GoDaddy about a year ago, I was provided the choice and went with Windows. At the time, it seemed like a good choice. I was used to Windows, have been using it for years, being pretty aware of many of the applications available to Windows Servers. You know, front page.

I think when it came down to it, I sided with Windows because Linux represented the unknown and I had developed a partiality to all things Microsoft.

Why did I want to change? Glad you asked.

I purchased my first website, www.excellentcorvettes.com, and stepped into the world of website design. More about this later.

What I have learned, is that most websites are hosted on Linux servers.
The Linux operating system is very widely accepted as the hosting operating system that meets the needs of most sites on the internet.

Site designers consider it as being the fasted, most reliable and capable.
Linux supports a huge number of open source applications geared towards meeting the needs of the online community.

If I were to suggest, to someone just signing on with a hosting provider, choose the Linux for website hosting. Choose Windows if business applications made by Microsoft are going to be hosted on your new domain.
