Someone Else’s Kids

Remember back in Novemeber 2003 when wireless local number portability was introduced? People were predicting the downfall of cell phone companies and that the rates would drop considerably because of the increased competition due to the fact that subscribers would be much more likely to switch companies when their contracts expired. Another prediction was that cell phone customer service would improve dramatically because cell phone companies would invest the money needed to improve the customer service experience in order to retain customers.

Of course, none of that has happened! Cell phone prices are still high and cell phone customer service is just as bad as ever.

Now that it is has been four and half years, have you ever switched carriers and taken your phone number with you? If so, was it worth the switch?

Blogging has been around for several years now, but some bloggers are still using free services. When it’s time to transition away from those and make the jump to an environment which gives the blogger control over every aspect of the blog which means choosing a domain name and making a decisions about something they probably never thought about – web hosting.

It’s funny how bloggers and their blogs mature over time. For example, parents who started off putting up a blog just as an online journal to share family experiences with extended family and friends can end up running parenting blogs that are enjoyed by and helpful to tens of thousands of parents around the country and the world.

Before making any decisions about web hosting it is a good idea to visit a hosting review site that compares and contrasts pricing and services from a number of hosting companies.web hosting
