The possession of fully redundant data centers. If you are considering doing business with a smaller hosting vendor, ensure that they have adequate power and connectivity capabilities. Inquire as to the number of lines the facility has. Do they possess an on-site generator? Does the generator receive regular checks and maintenance? What is the average utilization of the connections available?

This is great information. Some of the smaller hosting companies like Integrated Solutions and Services have servers that are located in a data center with redundancy features and more than enough bandwidth to prevent bottlenecking. A bottleneck can be described in laymen’s terms as a sudden decrease in speed due to multiple network packet requests. It is like a freeway. There are certain times during the day that the demand for freeway lanes are more than what is available which results in heavy traffic moving at a slow pace. Redundancy reduces this effect because you have more than one path for communication to the same destination. Redundant servers is another option that provides reliability in case of hardware failure. Two servers share the same storage unit that hold vital data. If one server goes down then the other one takes over. This is accomplished through cluster software. The cluster software communicates via a dedicated redundant network interface which allows the primary server to communicate with the secondary server. If the primary server goes down, the secondary server will not be able to talk to it and takes over as the primary. There is only a momentary loss of communication but the data is not lost.

I have not heard of a data center that does not have onsite generators in case of power disruption. I know the one I worked at had a battery room which allowed more than 30 minutes for the transfer from failed power to diesel generated power. It is important to know if the data center actually tests their backup generators either quarterly or bi-annually.

A DR site is also important for a business to consider. DR is short for Disaster Recovery. With the ability to cluster servers over the WAN, disaster recovery will prevent disruption to business transactions when there is an earthquake, flood, or other natural disasters that can disrupt normal business operations. With this option, you can cluster servers in different cities, states, or countries.

Again, thanks for the input.

Writing for your online audience is very different from writing for traditional print publications  such as magazine or newspaper articles. This is because online readers view website content from a screen. So, the Online reader is not likely to read word for word. For the majority, most online users will scan the content on your web page.

• Use Headings as often as possible –
  The online reader, as we mentioned earlier, scans through the web content. This means we need to make the scanning process of your web page content easier. We can do this by breaking the content for web site into artistic headings as well as sub-headings. For this, a quick glance at the headings and sub headings would suffice. Headings also help to create the essential white space in the website content. This makes a website look clean and uncluttered.
• Use Short Paragraphs:
  It is not always comfortable to read on screen. The eyes go through considerable strain. So go easy on the reader’s eyes. You can do this by inserting short paragraphs in your web content. It will help to improve the attention of the reader too. Short paras in the content for web site would look neater and organized. It also enables readers to spot what they were looking for at first glance itself.
• Add Lists:
  The use of lists, bulleted and numerical, would enhance the readability of your web page content. It makes a clean structure look populated without appearing cluttered. When this is done, the web content appears more streamlined and structured to the topic.
• Use Bold Text to emphasize -
  Regardless of the topic that we have written about, it is a fact that certain parts of your website content may be more important than others. To help the reader understand this, we can use bold text to emphasize this point. That is why it is best to use bold text for your headings and sub-headings.
• Add Links within site and article -
  Web page content is a terrific spot to add links to other web pages on your site itself or as part of your article. This is because readers may not read the whole web content. So, it makes sense to have links in the body of the article. This would make it far more convenient for all the visitors to access content for website on a particular topic.
• Start a Blog to enhance interaction – The current trend in web site content is to start blogs so that interaction is heightened. Blogs are useful because it lets readers interact and comment on the postings. This type of interactive involvement from readers helps for a writer to connect with the target audience. This also encourages repeat visitors.
• Make an RSS Feed – Once we help you  get  on track when it comes to writing, you can use RSS feeds to deliver the writing to more and more people. With RSS, you can be sure that other websites would syndicate your web content.

Band Name / Logo Design / Contact Info: Centered Across Page: List band name, address, phone number, fax, e-mail, and Web site URL. This could be your contact or band representative.

Date and City Band Was Founded: First paragraph: List the city and state or country in which the band formed. If the group has relocated to a new territory, briefly state where and when as well.

Full Name of Band: First paragraph continued: List the band’s full name. If you failed to choose a band name that everyone can read and pronounce correctly, than include the phonetic spelling as well.

Style & Comparable (“Like”) Bands: First paragraph continued: Every band fits into a format of music. If you don’t know what categories you fall under, examine the formats radio stations use: Modern Rock, Alternative, Adult Contemporary (AC), Rhythmic Crossover, Jazz, etc. Also, though every band likes to think they are unique, there is at least a few comparable or “like” bands that you could open up for on tour. List these bands to give your reader an idea of your target audience.

Members’: Names / Instruments / Age Range: First paragraph continued: Be sure to list your members’ names (nick names) as you would like to see them in print along with the instrument they play. Additionally, list the age range from the youngest to the oldest musician in order to give your reader some idea of your target audience and your long-term career potential as a musical act.

Brief History (Interesting Story of Band): Second paragraph: Noting interesting pieces of information about how your band came together gives press people something to talk about and helps the reader draw a picture about your personalities. Think of interesting hooks such as: members knew each other since kindergarten, members have famous parents, members were part of other famous groups, members have success in other fields such as acting, and members formed as a result of some tragedy (911, etc.). Just be creative, but be truthful. You get the idea.

Accomplishments & Quotes to Back Them Up: Third paragraph: Listing your accomplishments says a lot about a band’s work ethic, which is one of the top credentials record and publishing companies, personal managers, and attorneys look for in new artists these days. People are attracted to those who help themselves. List recent successes such as: record sales, the number of people in your fan club or who visit your Web site, the average number of people who attend your shows, the amount of college radio play you get and whether or not you charted on CMJ, any placements of your music in film and TV, successful bands that you toured or opened for, song writer’s competitions you won, the producer or co-writer who teamed-up with you to make your record, type of merchandising you sell and designed, reviews in well-respected magazines, and battle of the bands awards. Additionally, if these successes can be supported by one or two quotes of someone note-worthy, than all the better. Be sure to include the person’s proper spelling, company name and the source if the quote was published.

Support Your Accomplishments With Quotes: Third/Fourth paragraph continued: If any of your successes can be supported by one or two quotes of someone note-worthy, then better yet. Just be sure to include the person’s proper spelling, company name and the source if the quote was published.

Where You’re Going From Here (Do-It-Yourself Goals): Fourth Paragraph: Rather than sound like you are need of someone else to take you where you want to go, show your reader that you’re unstoppable and that you already have a plan of attack to move ahead to the next level of your career. Make people think that you’re going all the way whether or not they help you. You’d be surprised at how infectious pro-activity and confidence can be. Attract the attention of those who can help you by first helping yourself.

Re-state Contact Information: Last line or paragraph: It is always helpful to include your contact information as many times as possible-and leaving it at the end is the proper writing format for business anyway. Being that it is the last thing that your reader will view, it is also going to be one of the last things on his/her mind. Who knows, they just might be inspired to contact you.
