Expertise

I've been developing websites for almost 20 years. If you have questions like these, I can help! Should I try this myself or hire a professional? What tools do I need? How do I sell products online? How do I make money with my website? Can I create a website without buying expensive software? How do I design a website FAST? How do I market my website? Is a BLOG a website? How do I put video on my website? What is website hosting? When will search engines find my website? OK, I've found a site I like - but now what? Can I make my website a subscription site?

Experience in the area

I have over 20 years of practical experience with web-related issues, and some military computer training. I've worked for a computer manufacturer, and own a small technology company specializing in web-design, hosting, and internet media production. I am the webmaster of several sites, and e-newsletter editor for Rotary District 6760 which is comprised of 65 clubs throughout middle Tennessee.

Education/Credentials

I'd like to say a diploma from a revered educational facility hangs on my wall, and perhaps someday it will. In reality, everything I know has been self-taught, much of it done so in the hallowed halls of that venerable institution called "The School of Hard Knocks". (I have taken courses at a local community college, and received military computer programming training as well.)

I think it would be a good idea to get it.  A few years ago the company I was paying to maintain my servers had a machine melt down.  All of the sites I had hosted there were gone.  Instantly.  They claimed

You are more or less correct -    A dedicated server is a physical machine, and you'll have 100% access to all of the memory and storage it offers.    A VPS is a software replica of a machine hosted on

Hi Kee -    Should you expect the source code?  If it's not in your agreement, you shouldn't expect it - but I don't think the developer would mind providing it at no charge.      Regarding the schedule

2012-01-28 What is the best user friendly website software:

Hi Linda.    I'm not sure what Yahoo charges, but what I do know is that you'll have to pay SOMETHING just about anywhere you go - You can buy software to design a site, but you'll still have hosting/email
