Security aspects of a shared web hosting server have always on the forefront. And, with almost 90% of websites being hosted on shared servers, the security considerations are not uncalled for.

Also know as virtual hosting, shared hosting has been the favorite of small and medium size enterprises. Owing to the fact that shared web hosting works out to be cheaper than hosting on dedicated servers. Thats because a website shares a server with other websites in a virtual environment. But, does that make it vulnerable to hacking? Thats the million dollar question. To understand the security aspects of hosting on shared servers, we will have to first understand the different modes of shared hosting.

Types of shared hosting

• Domain based shared hosting:

It works on the Virtual Private Server (VPS) technology and provides each website with a unique URL, even though they are hosted on a single server. The VPS technology achieves by creating effective partitions in the server and gets them to act as individual servers.

• Name based shared hosting:

In name based shared hosting, a websites name appears as a subset of the service providers name. Example of such service providers are geocities, blogspot etc.

• Directory based shared hosting:

With respect to directory based shared hosting, the customers website will be mentioned as a directory in the host domain name. The most important point that comes through with shared hosting is the relative lack of a dedicated IP address. Thats because most of the web security apparatus are applicable on the IP address level. Thats the reason why, dedicated severs are capable of providing a more secure environment; as they guarantee a unique IP address.

The other blockade with shared server security is the relative difficulty encountered in implementing SSL certificates.

The great thing about keeping an African Grey parrot as a pet is that it can form a strong bond with you. Unlike a dog which can fetch a baseball, an African Grey can talk, well at least mimic the sounds you and others around you make, including the telephone and microwave oven.

Just like any other pet, this bird requires all the attention you can give to it. Spend some quality time feeding your bird and you will discover their amazing character and affection. Unlike a cat or a dog, an African Grey parrot can live as long as humans do, and some even outlived their owners. In that sense, it is a great companion to have.

Considering that this bird is going to live with you for a very long time, it will need a big and sturdy cage for comfort, with doors opening on the front and at the top. It will not be a problem to source for a suitable cage because pet shops carry a wide variety of cages for parrots. And with the internet so accessible to anyone, ordering a bird cage from a website is also a good option if there are no pet shops in your area.

Unlike other pet birds, this parrot needs stimulation. Get parrot toys so that your bird can amuse itself during the times you are not at home. The most common ones are plastic rings that you can hang from the top of the cage. They love to bite, climb and hang upside down on the rings.

The African Grey loves dry natural seed and nut mix. You should be able make this yourself with ingredients from the grocery store or supermarket if the pet store is too far away. Fresh cut fruits and vegetables like celery and asparagus are also good for the parrot for the vitamins that they provide.

This parrot likes to be spoken too, especially by its owner. But be careful with the vocabulary that you use because the bird is actually studying all the sounds that you make and registering it in its head. But one good idea is to let it speak your name, home address and telephone number. This is exactly what an owner did and when his African Grey flew away through an opened window, the person who found the parrot managed to return it because the bird kept on repeating its owner's phone number.

There are hundreds of people online ready to tell you how to make $100 online. One product currently making the rounds in the Internet marketing world is "20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online." There is some good info out there and lots of hype too.

You could rummage through your garage, attic, basement, or closets and look for items to sell on eBay. It wouldn't take long to raise $100 that way - and many people recommend that. But, it's not a business model. You probably spent more on the items than you will sell them for.

A viable business needs to be able to grow and produce more income than it consumes.

What I'm about to share with are 5 steps to building a viable business promoting other peoples products through affiliate programs.

Here are the 5 steps to make 100 online:

1 Locate an affiliate product to sell

2 Produce a 7 part course on a subject related to the product

3 Post the articles to an autoresponder

4 Create a 'Squeeze Page' to capture email leads

5 Write a series of articles to promote the course

There are several places to locate products you can promote as an affiliate. Clickbank and PayDotCom are big for digital products. Many products run their own affiliate programs so you can search Google using the phrase "affiliate program" along with the company or product name to locate these. Try to find products in an active marketplace with multiple products available that are similar to each other. This indicates that there are a lot of customers for the products.

The 7 part course doesn't have to be earth shattering. It just needs to be good useful information. One technique you can use to get started is to search for articles on an article directory like eZineArticles or GoArticles and find 7 thematically related articles. Write a short introduction to the article and a conclusion that gives an action for the reader to take that relates to the content of the article. Then, add a pitch for your affiliate product.

You need to get an autoresponder program or sign up for a service. Autoresponders send a sequence of emails at regular intervals when a person signs up with their email address. Add your emails to the service so that they go out once per day for 7 days.

The web page where you sign up for a mailing list is called a 'squeeze page.' This doesn't need to be fancy. Just a nice headline and a short sales letter explaining the benefits of your email course. The form used to capture the email address will be provided by your autoresponder company and you just cut and paste the code into the page.

Finally, write a series of articles (much like this one) that discuss ideas related to your course. At the end of each article you will have a space to promote your email course and provide a link to the squeeze page. 3-5 500 word articles will be enough to get things moving along. If you really don't like to write, hire a freelancer to ghostwrite them for you. Since they are short and easy to research, the cost will be low.

Once you finished the 5 steps, you can sit back and watch that first $100 flow in online. It's a real thrill. But, you've done a lot more than make $100. This little profit center you've created will continue to make sales month after month. If your course generates a lot of sales, you can invest more time and resources into building up the traffic to your squeeze page. You can also make improvements to the course and website to improve your response rates.

The biggest thing you've done, however, is to create a mailing list of prospects who have given you permission to contact them. You can keep sending them newsletters and promotions. You can promote related products and, if you want to, you can develop your own products to sell to them.
