Do a 'whois' search. This is a search that shows you who has registered a domain. There are many sites that allow you to perform this search; see Resources for just a few examples. The site WhoIsHostingThis.com offers the simplest results; typing in a website address will yield the very simple result: 'xxx.com is hosted at xxx.com,' as seen in the image.
Read through the results of a more complex 'whois' search, such as one done through GoDaddy's 'whois' search. In the example in the image, Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. shows the website DesignLogicMedia.com is hosted at GoDaddy. The administrative and technical contacts show DomainsByProxy, meaning privacy restrictions were put into place to prevent the address and phone number from showing up and being available to spammers.
Call or e-mail the administrative or technical contact, if it is listed, for further information.
Go to the website itself as an alternate to, or in addition to, a 'whois' search. Often, the website will have information on where it is hosted. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and you may see 'Hosted by' and the name of a company.
Contact the person listed as webmaster on the website itself. Depending on the circumstances, that person may be willing to offer you information.

How to Register Your Own Website DomainIn Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
Choose several name options for your website. If you're most interested in a '.com' top-level domain name (TLD), your first choice may be already taken by someone else. Have several names in mind before beginning the registration process, and consider other extensions, such as '.net' or '.org.'
Choose a registrar to help you register your domain name, such as GoDaddy, Register.com or NameCheap. There are hundreds of registrars authorized by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to sell domain names. Make sure the registrar you choose is a accredited by ICANN by searching for it on ICANN's authorized registrar list. Annual prices and services offered, such as Web hosting, vary by registrar, so research each carefully before deciding upon a registrar.
Enter your domain name choices. Your favorite may not be available, so keep trying until you find an acceptable domain name. Some registrars help by suggesting names that are similar to your first choice, such as 'example.net' or 'examples.com' instead of 'example.com.'
Enter the necessary contact information. This information is required by ICANN. You must enter information for four types of contacts, although you can enter the same person, most likely yourself, for each of the contact types. The organization contact is considered the domain name's owner, and the administrative contact is the person who handles all administrative needs. The technical contact is responsible for all technical aspects of the domain name, while the billing contact pays the registry fees and handles other payment issues as necessary.
Choose options for your domain name after selecting an available name. Pick the length of your registration, which is often between one and 10 years. One year is the minimum commitment, but it's often a better deal to buy a longer term -- you may get a discount for purchasing several years up front. Some registrars offer automatic renewals, meaning your credit card or PayPal account is automatically charged at the end of your registration term until you cancel it. This option can help ensure continuity in your website by removing the chance you could forget to renew it. Many registrars provide matching domain names, which are names that are the same as the one you chose but with different extensions, such as '.org' or '.info.' These are often offered at a discounted rate, so you have the option to purchase them along with your original domain name. You must renew them just like you renew your main domain name. Decide whether you want to choose private domain registration. There is typically a fee associated with private registration. This option is designed to help reduce the amount of email spam, junk snail mail and telemarketing calls you receive. If you register your domain publicly, your personal information appears on the WHOIS website, which is an online searchable database of every domain name in use. It provides the name, address, phone number and email address of each domain name's owner. Choosing private registration shows the information of a proxy company instead of your information. The proxy company either belongs to your registrar company or partners with it.
Enter your Web host's primary and secondary nameservers when prompted. This directs your domain name to your website. You can likely find this information by logging in to your Web hosting account and looking under the host's frequently asked questions -- search for 'domain name transfer' or 'DNS.' If you have trouble finding the nameservers, call or email your Web host, who should be able to provide you with the information. If you don't have a Web hosting company yet, your registrar might offer domain parking services. Parking is when your domain name is routed to a dummy Web page for a short time. If you want to take advantage of this service, contact the registrar to ask what is shown on its dummy Web pages -- some fill the page with advertisements you don't endorse or earn money from. Others place a filler image, such as 'Under Construction,' on the page.
Pay for your domain name using a credit card or your PayPal account, if accepted by your registrar.

How to Host a Motivational MeetingIn Feburary 2016 06,
In Feburary 2016 06,
Consider the work climate and employee needs when scheduling the motivational meeting. If employees answer to several bosses, talk to other department heads to ensure the meeting won't interfere with other tasks. Avoid scheduling motivational meetings when employees have extremely heavy work loads. Try not to plan them on Friday afternoons, when employees are distracted by the weekend, or Monday mornings, when employees are still settling into their work flow. If you do need to schedule the meeting during a busy time, plan to keep it short and to the point. To ensure the meeting room isn't double booked when you need it, alert your company's administrative department or book through a scheduling system.
Provide Food
The old adage 'if you feed them, they will come' holds especially true with work functions. Providing food communicates to employees that the meeting is important and that they are valued. This incentivizes them to attend and increases their attention span. You can still provide food even if you don't have a large budget. Employees will expect a larger spread at a meal time, so don't schedule close to lunch and dinner if you can't afford to host a full meal. Instead, provide donuts and coffee for a morning meeting or tasty snacks in the afternoon.
Do Your Homework
The specific motivational content for your meeting will depend on the topic and the business context. No matter the situation, a little research can make a big impact on your meeting. Read through company progress reports and feedback documents to discover where employees are frustrated, struggling or otherwise lacking in motivation. Jot down an outline of the meeting and all the points you want to address. Organize the points into three key concepts, which will be easier for employees to digest and remember. For example, the three concepts could be 'where we've been, where we are and where we need to go.'
Speak Sincerely
Above all else, be straightforward, honest and sincere with your employees. Avoid flowery speeches and emotional tactics that can come off as inauthentic. Instead, empower your employees by reminding them of all they've achieved. For example, you can use power point slides that highlight the most significant achievements and improvements a team has made over the last financial period to help motivate them to keep improving. Encourage employees to participate in the department's or company's goal-setting process. At the end of the meeting, show your appreciation for their work and communicate your genuine belief that they can achieve or exceed work objectives.

How to Sell Server SpaceIn Feburary 2016 04,
In Feburary 2016 04,
Set up your web server. You can either build one, purchase one, or rent space on an existing web server. Next you will need to insure the server is connected to a high speed internet connection with a dedicated ip address. Then purchase a domain name and configure name servers such as ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com. This will allow those buying web server space from you to point their domains to your web server. Ensure the necessary programs and software are installed, such as the Linux Operating System, Apache Server software, PHP programming environment, and MySQL databases.
Select your administration software. One of the most automatic and easy to use web server administration software is the combination of cPanel and Web Host Manger (WHM). This will allow you to quickly and easily setup new web sites on your server, perform administrative tasks, as well as give limited control and configuration to your customers.
Set up hosting packages. You should create different price points for different packages which include different features and level of storage space and bandwidth. This can be easily done with WHM. Make sure to assign the correct package when setting up a new site for a customer. Changes or upgrades can be easily made as well.
Create a web site to advertise, display the pricing and details of each package, and to take credit card orders is an effective and helpful way to bring in new customers. Create language about support, terms of conditions, ways to order, information about your company, and more.
Set up a PayPal account to accept credit card payments. One of the most cost effective and easiest ways to accept recurring monthly billing through credit cards is with PayPal subscriptions. Creating a PayPal account is free with a 3 to 5 percent fee charged to each order. PayPal is a commonly used method and allows for purchase with a PayPal account, credit card, or debit card. When configured correctly the order will automatically bill each month, year, or whatever period you set up. You can easily email an invoice with a payment link or embed the payment link into your web site.
Create or rent a daily backup solution so that your data and those of your clients are protected from any viruses, hacker attempts, or hardware or software failures. Explain your backup policy to your customers in your terms of agreement and determine any potential problems or limitations ahead of time.
Set up a fee structure for additional services. This includes advanced support, site or data restoration, custom coding, custom configuration, web design, and more. By offering these additional services you can increase your income and continue to meet the needs of your customers.
