How to Calculate Markup MarginIn Feburary 2016 28,

Find the cost of an item. Before you can calculate markup and margin, you must know the product's cost. The cost includes the price paid for an item or materials plus the labor required for processing. Additional expenditures, such as breakage or spoilage, may also be counted as part of cost.
Multiply the cost by the percentage of profit you'd like to make on the product and add the result to the cost to arrive at the price. If you are using a markup of 75 percent and the cost of an item is $10, the dollar value of the markup is 0.75 (75 percent) times $10, or $7.50. Add this to the $10 cost to arrive at a price of $17.50.Businesses use various models to determine the size of the markup, but the principle is the same in all cases.
Calculate margin by subtracting the cost from the price and dividing the remainder by the price. For example, if an item is priced at $25 and the cost is $15, first subtract $15 from $25, leaving $10. Divide by $25 for a profit margin of 0.40. Margin is the proportion of a price in excess of cost and is usually expressed as a percentage, so multiply by 100 to get the percentage. In this case, the margin would be 40 percent.

How to Find Where a Web Site Is HostedIn Feburary 2016 25,

In Feburary 2016 25,
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 Create a Social WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 08,

Install WordPress on your Web server. Due to its popularity, WordPress is now offered as a standard application available with many Web-hosting plans. Some Web-hosting services offer an automatic installation option for WordPress. If you don't have much experience installing Web applications, select a Web host that offers automatic WordPress installation and you'll save a lot of time.
Install the BuddyPress plug-in. You can automatically install BuddyPress from the WordPress dashboard by going to the 'Plug-ins' menu on the left side of the Dashboard and selecting 'Add New.' Enter 'BuddyPress' in the plug-in search box. In the result listings, you'll see BuddyPress. Install BuddyPress by selecting the 'Install Now' link under the BuddyPress name.
Configure BuddyPress. BuddyPress has features for activity streams, editable user profiles, friend connections, private messaging, blogging and groups. Because BuddyPress is a WordPress plug-in, it is extensible, which means that features can be added to run alongside BuddyPress in the WordPress system. The BuddyPress.org site runs on WordPress and BuddyPress, so you can visit their site to see it in use.
Generate content for your website. Using WordPress, you can add pages or posts with content for your visitors and members. WordPress allows you to add text, images and video content to your website.
Promote your social website. You can use search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising or other traditional advertising methods to generate awareness of your social website. If your website is dedicated to a specific interest group or organization, you may be able to promote the website within the interest group or organization membership.
Manage the users. Because social websites permit a certain degree of user-generated content, you may want to review some or all of the new contributions to the site to make sure that no illegal or objectionable content is being added. Also, if you allow comments on your pages or posts, you'll want to install a comment spam blocker such as the 'akismet' plug-in. In general, you'll need to keep an eye on users and the content they are adding to make sure that your social website doesn't get hijacked by spammers.
