GoDaddy stopped by massive DDoS attack

Questions small businesses should be asking after the outage

Good day:

This issue should hopefully raise some questions to stewards / managers of small businesses:

1. Does cheap web hosting lead to lost revenue? http://www.dynamicnet.net/2012/04/cheap-hosting-limits-growth-site/

2. Can you find high value web hosting? http://www.dynamicnet.net/2012/06/reflections/

3. Would it not be better for small businesses to support one another vs. going with large corporations like Godaddy, who advertisements sell on sexuality, where one will be treated with value vs. being just another number?

Of note, Hostgator, Bluehost, and hundreds of other companies are owned by EIG whose focus is cheap hosting. They throttle with a very heavy hand. While probably everyone in the world, at least by now, knows about the Godaddy outage, the heavy throttling could be far worse for small business owners as they may not know when customers can get to their sites.

Thank you.

Revealing the secret of creating secure passwords

http://www.dynamicnet.net/2012/03/weak-passwords-open-doors/ is our take on using common words to create a secure password that is hard to crack.

As long as Reverend James Langstaff followers keep in mind social engineering tricks (i.e. they don't broadcast favorite verses, chapters, persons, etc. in the Bible), they should be fine using his method.

When you consider most users will do as they please in favor of convenience for passwords, what would you rather? To have them lean more towards security by making it easier or stick with old methods that while they work, don't lend to user conversion?
