    Businesses I can start with £16k?

    You beat me to it, lol. :D

    Adsense question/s

    No, having more visitors doesn't make a visitor more likely to click. Having more visitors makes it more likely that you will get a click. :) I wouldn't set your heart on making any kind of considerable income from Adsense. 90% of the sites that boast about having huge adsense income are just...

    Cash Machine fustration

    Simple reason is it's a service people are used to getting for free. If it's winding people up enough to lose you business, I'd consider absorbing the costs.

    Dating scripts ?

    There are numerous dating 'scripts' out there, whilst it's probably possible to build one on wordpress, it'd almost certainly be more work than starting from scratch if you were going to introduce any kind of unique take on the industry that might increase your chances of success. Good luck.

    Legalities regarding 'trading names'?

    Let's say I have company A - let's say it's a shoe shop. If I wanted to start selling dishwashers, it would only make sense to do it under a different name. In this instance, what would the recommended company structure be? Does it make more sense to start a second company (company B) for the...

    Started up a small business

    I would *definitely* get your own .co.uk or .com domain. It makes sense to save money in some areas - but this isn't one of them. As a start, I would then share your site on any/every social network you're a part of to try and get the ball rolling. Then look at what content you could provide...

    SEO

    They only employ some of the brightest IT minds in the world, are worth tens of billions, employe 34,000 people and service billions of people in a wide range of services every second of every day... You don't get that big without knowing what they're doing. Fully agree here. I'd be...

    Online multi player gaming servers. How does one set these up?

    Hosting private World of Warcraft servers is *very* illegal. Starting a game hosting company is no small undertaking. You wouldn't be able to host one at home - even if your connection were fast enough, it is against most ISP's terms of service and you will probably have a dynamic IP - in which...

    Where do people advertise jobs? Any recommendations?

    Depends what your business does as to where you post your advert. If you need a unskilled (no offence, don't mean that literally, thats just the classification) labourer, then I'd go with a free ad at the Jobcentre. If you have a well-respected business that a lot of people look up to, I'd post...

    Form to txt file

    Databases are (usually) more secure than flat files, as there is an extra layer of authentication to access them.

    Form to txt file

    It would be quite simple to only give the server FTP user read permissions and not allow the public any permissions with CHMOD.

    how do i connect dreamweaver and my hosting together to work on my site?

    About a week ago. I've used CS5.5 and CS6 which were both swiftly uninstalled. There is simply no need to try and have software 'preview' a design. Just open a damn browser and edit code with a nice/lightweight/much cheaper text editor.

    how do i connect dreamweaver and my hosting together to work on my site?

    Yeah, you're probably right Dan, I should probably have stipulated that I'm referring to development rather than design. bdw said for 'creating websites' on the whole, which is what I'm getting at. You would usually have an IDE for the backend then frontend development is more suited to a...

    how do i connect dreamweaver and my hosting together to work on my site?

    You definitively said that Dreamweaver is the best software available for creating websites, which is absolutely untrue. Sure, it might be an option for someone that absolutely has to get a job done without hiring a professional but I certainly won't recommend it. Don't agree with me? If your...

    Used car Business

    You only need to register for VAT after reaching and exceeding the VAT threshold. I'd recommend seeing an accountant re deciding on a company structure. A lot of used car dealers buy at auction (not usually ebay). Many mainstream dealerships auction off ex-lease vehicles to shift stock. Not...
