# Plan It! Web Hosting

Help, My Server is Overloaded

As your site attracts more visitors, your Web server may start to slow down because it's processing more requests for pages and files. At this point, you have two ways to deal with the problem: Streamline your pages or upgrade your hosting.

If you’re buying a shared hosting package from a hosting company, it’s generally easy to upgrade your storage and bandwidth allotment for a higher monthly fee. If you own or lease a dedicated server, upgrading can be a bit trickier. You can physically upgrade the server, adding new components to make it perform better. Add more memory (RAM) so that its software runs more smoothly, additional processor chips to speed up its operations, or a bigger hard drive to store more files. Make sure you buy components from reliable manufacturers to avoid hardware problems that could affect your site’s performance.

A cheaper but less effective fix is to make sure the files on your site are efficient. An HTML page stuffed with unnecessary tags and formatting will take up more storage space and eat up more bandwidth. Keeping the code on your site clean and streamlined will ensure that the server doesn’t have to work as hard to keep up with your visitors’ requests.

on Writing and Editing a Blog

I was searching for blog editing and found this article to be helpful. People love bullets and lists in blogging. I also found an blog editing site that looks interesting as well http://www.quickpostedit.com where they charge for editing by the word more or less. If I didn’t have an editor for a girlfriend maybe I would use it. winkAs for the editing of comments I only every edit the curse words out, I think that if they have bad grammar that reflex poorly on them. My blog is primarily about marketing not editing so I don’t get to up tight.

on Polls and E-mail Surveys

why do we poll? well, just to know what most of the people wanted or like. just like if we make a poll about the candidacy of the next president of the United States, we will know who among the candidates are most loved by the people or who they want to rule them…
