We use hosting and domains in multiple countries. Some of our clients have very strict requirements for country-specific hosting and some domain names cannot always be hosted anywhere. Requirements for country-specific hosting can be anything from a legal issue to a simple preference. This means that sooner or later, you’ll need a Web Host located in Canada, the Great White North.
We have a number of clients out of Toronto, Vancouver and Halifax. They require Canadian based web hosting plans or domain hosting. Our favorite reminder is none other than CanadianWebHosting.com: hosting, dedicated, VPS and of course reseller accounts. Some plans offer full root access, choice of operating system, configuration files such as the crucial httpd.conf or php.ini, remote rebooting, unlimited domain hosting.
The web has given us a world free of boundaries and if you need an original style of graphic development, you can find just about anything out there.
We recently learned of a design company based in Honolulu, Hawaii that has a great portfolio with a distinctive style.
Hawaii Web Design is a premier Web Design company with a style well suited for travel, restaurants and real-estate sites.

We can’t say enough about these two tools when trying to diagnose an unusually slow site. Once the obvious issues have been examined (large images, bad scripts, slow database responses, damaged tables…) you should always run Firebug and YSlow sessions within your browser for further diagnoses.

It started like just another day at one of our remote offices: email, follow-ups, meetings, calendar management, spreadsheets, a little pdf here and there, some programming, a last minute Photoshop tweak …
Normally, every time one of our workers finishes a task, he or she takes a 15 minute brain break or does some other Web 2.0 activity that benefits the organization. Some of us prefer Twitter, reading what new trends are out there. Others like to do a little Facebook to see what our friends – and foes – are up to. Reddit is also a definite favorite.
Seriously folks, it’s been sixteen months of website building, tweaking and programming. Some of us here at WebsiteForensics need a break. Some of us here would love to go back down to New Mexico. Time to fire up our browsers for something else that usability testing or reading Reddit!
Before we hit the road let’s check out some vacation rental homes. We still have a few weeks of blogging before us, as well as a handful of sites to finish, but we’ve already found a couple of places we’d love to rent in Albuquerque or Santa Fe… Time to start counting the days on the calendar.

A virtual infrastructure is not only more and more common; it just makes sense for modern businesses. Redapt.com offers server virtualization solutions, along as a great number of other services, that provide maximized server storage, high availability for applications and lower power and cooling costs.
Mainframe versus decentralized computing was the issue of the 80s and 90s. Increase in computing power ensured users had more and more software packages on their machines. But trends are changing again…
