    Hosting?

    Have you listed your business on Google or Google+. The cleaning search with your area should help your website pop-up on google searches. If you are looking for such specific catchment then this should work just fine and will also give you a platform for your customers to review your company...

    Has your company ever suffered an online security incident?

    I second Ryedale. Cloudflare is a great CDN although, there are others. Security is a prominent issue with a lot of clients (especially in the legal and prof services industry) and as mentioned above every IT provider should have strong security + processes in place. Its not something we...

    best web hosting company...?

    Ezpz's prices look quite competitive especially with the coupon code. We do offer shared and dedicated hosting services but won't be able to match Ezpz's prices if I am honest. I would however, recommend doing some more reading before you make the move. IPs have no influence on SEO at all. I...

    best web hosting company...?

    Hey @tire1 Are you thinking of a shared web hosting solution or a VPS? Does someone else manage the design/build of your websites or do you do it yourself?

    Why do you have a QR code on your website...?

    @BoredomBusters not to mention the difficulty of capturing the QR code on a moving vehicle. Its hard enough when you're standing still o_O. I think its was just a phase. People found it quite cool to scan something and be taken to a website/app. Not very functional compared to its rival...

    Starting an ISP at the age of 18

    Josh, I'm no expert but one thing I would say is ignore all the negative feedback. You seem like a smart guy and your website is great (Had a quick look through it and no alarm bells went off) and well designed. I say keep going because its never too late. You can sell your services using any...

    Cloud Based or Non Cloud Based?

    It all comes down to you working environment and your needs. I may sound bias but cloud is the way forward specially for its unparalleled flexibility and scalability. I just don't understand why it would cost you 35k to go into the cloud? Unless you have 40-60 people. The number one thing to...

    Online Backup Service - Recommendations?

    I have used Mozy, Amazon and Attix5. All great services and quite simple to use. Just comes down which ever looks best to you. 200mb of storage isn't tough for any online back-up provider. Just go with the one that gives you the best price etc...

    gaming pc advice needed

    Hi Guys, Here's my input after a lifetime of gaming, Go for a good base. Look for a cheap tower with an Intel processor (i3 and above) and a decent non Intel HD graphics card. This will give you the most longevity. If your son gets into upgrading his computer. he can do so with ease and...

    how much to charge for PC rental?

    We provide leasing for a few of our customers. Mostly thin clients so not very expensive. We don't really make a profit on the leasing as we don't have access to a lot hardware laying around. I don't see much in it if you're just a middle man. Okay profit margins (over time) if you have access...

    Telephony: fight between VOIP suppliers and IT support suppliers

    I am pretty sure the IT guys you have contracted should be able to help you on this. Its difficult to work out the exact options without actually having access to your setup

    Do I need an IVR system?

    This could be a good time to review your whole telephony set-up? Rather than getting a bolt on service, have you looked into taking your whole phone system to the cloud, as mentioned above, cloud hosted VoIP. Our IVR service only costs £2.99 per month and allows you to change the prompts as...

    No idea where to go from here to be honest

    Hey, The concept is great but it can be a victim of its own success. It will take a lot of work to make as useful as it needs to be. Just highlighting words isn't quite good enough, you will need to develop the website so the application can spot certain word strings/combinations. I would also...
