How to Get Free Web Hosting

Nowadays, very few people know how to get free web hosting. Most people are only too willing to shell out
the necessary amount just to get their own paid hosting. The fact that the cost of web hosting in general has gone down these past few years also makes it easier for people to just go ahead and bite the bullet, so to speak.
Unfortunately, this rush to get paid hosting makes people forget that sometimes, they are just wasting money because there are website owners whose needs can be met easily by free hosting. The case is especially true for people who are not planning to make a living out of their website. If you belong to this category, you need to learn how to get free web hosting so that you can make the most out of the Internet, without spending a single dime. Here are a few things that will help you:
1. Look at Content Management Sites/Blogging Services - services such as Blogger and WordPress provide free blog hosting services to users. If your only purpose in a website is to post articles, upload the occasional pictures here and there, both services will suit your needs. The advantage of this is that you're backed by large companies with robust backends that ensure minimal downtime.
2. Look at Free Web Hosting Sites - there are actually hosts out there that offer free web hosting services to users, with a catch, of course. While the hosting is free and you will never be required to shell out a single dime, there are various limitations, such as limited webspace and bandwidth, and you'll have to deal with restrictive TOSes. This is understandable, as they're not getting any money from you and they want to protect their own interests as much as possible. Additionally, these types of hosts will install ads - either banner or pop up, or both - on your website, because that's usually where they'll get the income needed to support your free site.
3. Look for Sponsors - there are some paid web hosting services that have programs wherein they sponsor sites that meet their requirements. For example, they may want to sponsor websites of charity organizations or non-profit websites. Or they may sponsor a non-monetized website with high quality content. Other hosts will also offer free hosting on a quid pro quo status, where they will host your website for free in return for advertising (this only happens in cases where you already have a website that is attracting a lot of traffic, though)
4. Take Advantage of Third Party Multimedia Hosting Services - if you're running your website on a free host, chances are there's very little bandwidth and storage to go around with. This doesn't mean you'll have to resign yourself to pure text - you can go crazy with images and video content, as long as you host it somewhere else. Many image and web hosting sites, such as Flickr and YouTube, allow you to upload your files on their servers and hotlink or embed it to your own website, therefore giving you the ability to offer multimedia content to your readers, without using up your free host's precious bandwidth and storage.

Upgrading Your Computer


Most likely that snappy computer you bought a couple years ago has begun to show signs of aging. Technology moves forward at an ever-increasing pace, and as the capabilities of computer hardware grow, software continues to place more and more demands on systems, rendering them slow and laggy. Fortunately, with some small investments you can upgrade your computer and return it to its old pep while future proofing it for the next few years.

Upgrade Your Processor
While a bit more costly, your computer can see a serious boost in performance when you install a new processor, but choosing the right type is a challenge these days. In the past, the chip with the most gigahertz was the easy choice, but as increases in raw processor speed have slowed, other developments warrant consideration. The first step in choosing a new processor is easy. Your motherboard will likely hold one of two brands: Intel or AMD. Simply put, if you have an Intel now, you must choose another Intel, and the same for AMD. Multiple-core processors are common now, with a single chip of silicon playing host to two, four, or even more cores, and the number you need really depends on the requirements of the programs you use. Nowadays, dual-core processors are often found in budget machines and are sufficient for most basic computer tasks, but serious gamers and digital media creators will want a quad-core or greater. Socket type is another important consideration, and this essentially means that the new chip must be able to physically fit into the motherboard. A bigger cache size can improve performance quite dramatically, as the processor will be able to store and access common tasks directly from its cache rather than from RAM. Finally, some chips are more power hungry than others, and if energy conservation is important to you, consider a chip with a smaller power requirement.
 
Upgrade Your RAM
RAM, or Random Access Memory, is where your computer stores current tasks, and the general rule is, the more memory you have, the more tasks your computer can handle at once, and the faster it will run. Applications and operating systems increasingly demand more, and a growing number of applications running in the background consume their fair share as well. Whether you are a casual or heavy user, if you add and install RAM you are making a solid yet cheap investment in performance. Before you buy more RAM, however, you must ensure that it is compatible with your machine. For example, if your computer currently uses DDR3, you must only buy DDR3 - this information can typically be found in your computer's system settings.

InformaInformation technology Management


InformaInformation technology is an engineering discipline. It is directly linked with computers and telecommunication usage for the retrieval of important data, its transmission and for storing purpose. Management in IT is a branch wherein all the technological resources of any firm are managed according to its priorities and needs. The resources include the entire stall hired to manage and maintain tangible resources like networks, software, computer hardware, data and data centre facilities. Within a company, the management of these responsibilities is directly linked with much other basic functionality like staffing, organizing and controlling, and budgeting. Other than these, there are many other aspects quite unique to
technology software designing, change management, technical support, network planning and much more.

There is a visible difference between management information system and management technology information. Management technology information, as stated before, is linked with the entire IT related management activities within an organization. On the other hand, all automation or human support decision making are influenced by MIS. It involves all the methods that mainly focus on all business aspects. It has a very strong input in any business or organization's technological phase 

Value Creation  
All thanks to technology, value creation was made quite possible. A prime focus of management technology information is this value creation. A unique blend of business strategies and technology is required for this purpose. Where value creation involves a very strong internal and external environmental bonding of an organization, technology on the other hand serves as an important source to improve the overall value chain of that particular organization. However, for successful outcome, the increase of business and management technology information requires collaboration, creation and synergistic to work as a team rather than a whole.

Managers
The management technology information managers have a lot in common when it comes to project managers. There is one main focus that differentiates the two. When it comes to project manager, the responsibility and accountability factors are both confined to a certain project that has a starting and ending date. The instructions for the entire project completion and beginning are quite clear and restricted. Whereas management technology information is responsible and accountable for any program that is ongoing involving IT services. A large number of programs related to IT are created in a way to educate managers and develop them in a way in order to make them efficient enough so they can easily manage the design, planning, selection, use, implementation, and administration of any converging and emerging information and communication technologies.
The  Infrastructure
The Information Technology Infrastructure Library v3 state the management technology information infrastructure as a combined set of software, facilities, hardware, and networks so as to test, develop, monitor, deliver, control and support IT services. But, in the ITIL context, the people involved in the process, the process itself and all associated documentations are not a part of IT infrastructure.
