Crucial Web Hosting Guidebook

Crucial Web Hosting Guidebook

In today’s world, most organizations from little to large glimpse to have their private websites. For this reason the will need to fully grasp web hosting has turn out to be integral to virtually all corporations. A correct web hosting guidebook will give you all the required specifics that can enable in finding the appropriate service provider, 1 that provides you with sound technical help so that your organization website does not suffer the brunt of technological idiosyncrasies. Your buyers count on your website to be up 24 x 7 and you shouldn’t disappoint them with an unreliable web host.

 

Deciding upon web hosting companies centered on what other companies have selected is not generally a very sound concept. This is generally simply because organizations commonly differ in their function of existence. What is beneficial to a single corporation need to have not necessarily be useful for the other. And the website technique of an individual company might not match yours. Hence, you require to recognize that the conditions of a particular company have to be analyzed and recognized appropriately ahead of selecting a web hosting company. You will need to develop some information about the different benefits and down sides of unique web hosting providers. This in flip can enable you establish what company’s support would be a superior for for yours.

 

Individuals normally uncover it tough to stability amongst the two constraints a single usually faces in deciding upon a web host – reliability and price feasibility. Hosting a inexpensive and reliable website is not these an easy position. On the other hand, thanks to the developments in know-how, it has develop into probable to construct an inexpensive website with just sufficient reliability, as prolonged as you are aware there will often be some trade off. Take into account the standard variables like availability and version of mySQL, PHP, ASP, .Internet and these programs when you make your choice. These scripting languages help you to include dynamic pages to your website extremely simply. And be mindful that some hosting organizations use LiteSpeed as a substitute of Apache on their servers. LiteSpeed will result in a marked improvement in load occasions for PHP and HTML internet sites (But specially PHP). I do recommend it, with the caveat that it could be incompatible with some of your software program and scripts – specially purchasing carts and other ecommerce functions. Do your investigation initially.

 

Ahead of generating your decision, make certain you read a great deal of assessments on community forums and scattered all the way through the web. Specialist reviews will shed light on the added benefits and problems associated with all kinds of web hosting services. These guides will also give you suggestions to on how to choose the appropriate remedy at a price appropriate to you. And discussion boards can be a beneficial supply of data. While disgruntled consumers are typically louder than pleased ones, they can raise concerns that it would be in your favor to observe up on with the host in question. Right after all, choosing the proper web hosting is key.

 

It is a great notion to pick a web host provider on a month to month basis, at minimum while you are establishing regardless of whether they are living up to their promise. Even though most hosting businesses will refund your cash on a pro rata foundation for long term contracts, it is a lot less difficult just to go month to month at initial. Also, consider and find a hosting organization who can meet your conditions when your company expands.

TouchStar Announces Revolutionary Data Exchange Solution for Call Centers

TouchStar Announces Revolutionary Data Exchange Solution for Call Centers











Denver, Colorado — November 2, 2007

TouchStar, the fastest growing developer of world class call center technology, and DataRose, a leading provider of data exchange solutions, announce the first integrated data exchange solution for call centers. Call centers can now easily exchange and manage real time data with their business partners.

Call centers must have real time secure data updates from their business partners to be able to effectively conduct communications. The new TouchStar and DataRose solution eliminates custom development costs, time delays, and human errors while improving data security and the ability to make real time decisions.

Without development costs and time delays, this new solution provides automatic and secure data transfer, data translation, verification of transfer, verification of receipt, and real time account updates. Automated data transfer is critical because it eliminates errors and delays in manually inputting data. Data tracking is of great benefit because it eliminates questioning if data were sent and received. Managing by exception is also included to enable focus on high priority activities.

Call centers such as Collections firms, Fundraisers, and Telemarketers must provide their clients with performance reports and account updates. This new solution provides the ability to analyze and report on status, activity, and results with a secure web based application.

The Collections industry will particularly benefit from this new solution because debt forwarders and debt collectors frequently experience the data transfer problem. Collections firms are now able to accelerate and increase collections, improve workflow efficiency, and reduce operating costs. Creating, implementing, and managing interfaces and dealing with data incompatibility costs and time delays are no longer a problem.

Jonathan Cleary, DataRose CEO, stated: “The transfer of real time data is one of the most difficult problems for businesses. We are changing the collections and call center industries for the better by reducing time delays, development costs, and human errors. We are also providing our partners with real time information to make better business decisions.”

Kyle Fox, President of the Collections and Financial Services Division of TouchStar, commented: “TouchStar will continue to produce solutions that greatly improve our customer’s businesses. When we look outside of our own areas of expertise, we first look for a strong commitment to customer service. TouchStar chose to partner with DataRose because they also believe in the TouchStar core value of honoring our client’s trust in choosing us.”

TouchStar Addresses Marketplace Concerns Head On

TouchStar Addresses Marketplace Concerns Head On












Denver, CO — July 23, 2008

TouchStar, a world leader in call center technology, today directly addressed false comments that have been made to TouchStar clients and prospects.

Steve Bederman, TouchStar’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “TouchStar’s sales and support teams have been told by several clients and prospective clients that a handful of people are spreading false and disparaging statements about TouchStar. TouchStar has made several significant and healthy changes in 2008. We properly adjusted for redundancies gained from prior acquisitions and we built a better business model based on lessons we learned as we grew. I am not surprised that a few competitors have tried to use unprofessional tactics because TouchStar’s market share continues to grow.”

Steve also added: “I made a decision in March, during the week that Bear Stearns failed, that TouchStar would increase profitability to ensure that cash flow would sustain the company even if the economy slowed down. While we have very strong banking and investment partners, we suspected that their ability to extend lines of credit would soon change. We made a proactive decision to reduce expenses. I also brought in a very experienced organizational change expert to help us identify opportunities to improve our business model. As an example, our change consultant immediately identified a need to add more real time probes into every part of our business to make decisions faster.”

Rick Morris, TouchStar’s Chief Operating Officer, provided an update on TouchStar’s business model adjustments and results through the first half of 2008. “TouchStar sales, marketing, installation, and support departments all set performance records in the second quarter of 2008 as TouchStar executed a 20 point plan designed to maintain our growth while reducing inefficiencies.”

Sales results set all time records. The average revenue per new sale rose 23% due to a price increase and the launch of TouchStar’s new Enterprise Call Center Software. TouchStar continues to expand into the enterprise market as large call centers identify the opportunity to greatly reduce their support and expansion costs by implementing a TouchStar 2008 Enterprise Call Center system. Quantity of sales also increased as the hosted call center software business unit achieved new sales records.

Marketing activities became even more focused on tactics that have proven to produce direct results. Lead production and new sales opportunity pipelines rose to record levels as lead quality remained constant.

Installation and support departments increased their performance as scorecards were implemented to provide managers and employees with specific quantitative and qualitative metrics to monitor and review together periodically. Every employee’s scorecard includes metrics that relate to TouchStar’s 2008 business plan so that every employee understands their direct correlation to the success of TouchStar customers, fellow employees, and financial results.

TouchStar Announces Record First Quarter Sales and Major New Operating Efficiencies

TouchStar Announces Record First Quarter Sales and Major New Operating Efficiencies











Denver, CO — April 9, 2008

TouchStar, a rapidly growing world leader in call center software and unified communications technology, today announces record first quarter sales of .9 million USD and major operations changes that yield cost savings of .1 million USD.

Sales from TouchStar’s four business units grew to .9 million USD, an increase of 31% over the first quarter of 2007. International sales continued to grow through direct sales and new channel relationships. Domestic sales increased in quantity as well as average revenue per sale. Average revenue per sale increased as TouchStar implemented its first price increase in its history. In the last ten years, TouchStar had never increased its list price despite winning more than 20 product awards and adding significant functionality each year.

Steve Bederman, CEO of TouchStar, commented: “Our sales continue to grow because we offer call centers a choice of four product platforms, hosted or on site deployment options, world class customer service, and exciting new solutions that drive call center profitability such as Best Time to Call. We chose each of our three acquisitions based on our ability to gain profitable and best in class solutions for specific market segments. All three acquisitions have just become fully integrated and we are now able to gain tremendous financial advantages.”

Operating efficiencies produced by changes made in the first quarter will yield a .1 million USD reduction in operating expenses for the 2008 fiscal year. Operating cost savings were identified by the management team through a comprehensive review of every expense among the four business units. Cost savings opportunities primarily arose from redundancies created as TouchStar acquired three direct competitors in the last three years.

Rick Morris, TouchStar’s Chief Operating Officer, added: “Frankly, we made some changes that were very difficult because they involved people that have contributed to our companies for many years. Through our acquisitions we wound up with too many managers and every department had too much redundancy. Along with the tough decisions, we found plenty of easy opportunities to reduce costs related to overhead and activities that were producing lower returns on our investments. After we made the tough decisions, we really got excited because we realized that we should exceed our 2008 profitability plan while maintaining our growth path and our core value of honoring our clients’ trust in choosing us.”

Today, TouchStar is three times larger than it was two years ago. TouchStar will continue to grow rapidly in 2008 through new sales, global market expansion, product line expansion, and the acquisition of other technology providers. TouchStar was recently recognized by the Denver Business Journal as the fourth largest software company headquartered in Colorado.

Call Centers Market to Reach $195 Billion by 2010, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.


San Jose, California — March 17, 2008

Contact centers have emerged as critical components of a business enterprise, not only as a medium for customer interaction, but also for boosting sales revenue. Changing market conditions such as increasing business competition, changes in the economy, and conservatism among customers are making it easy to expand client base in the call centers industry. Building up customer loyalty is no longer the only challenge for contact center professionals; measuring up to the fast paced changes that the contact center industry is undergoing is far difficult. Quick adaptability to innovations and other technology-based changes taking place in the contact center processes are turning out to be an imperative for the contact center professionals.

Global call centers market is projected to touch US5 billion by 2010, as stated in a recent report published by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

The Philippines is set to emerge as the fastest growing market for call centers, and is projected to increase at a compounded annual rate of 36% over the period 2000-2010.

The call center market is highly fragmented with a number of players vying for their own special niche in the market. Substantial growth in the number of call centers and advancements in technology have led to fierce competition in the market. The competition in effect has been intensifying with each new product or technology release.
