Are Minisites Dead?
Written by: Alvin Brown

If you’re wondering whether minisites are still relevant in today’s forever-changing digital world, the answer is not as straightforward as a simple “yes” or “no”.

16 Companies “Domainating” Google Search Results

16 Companies “Domainating” Google Search Results
Written by: Alvin Brown

I’ve long heard that Domain Authority (DA) is more important than ever.

Apparently, as of late, SEO experts Brian Dean and Glen Allsopp have both cosigned this statement (if you will).

If you’re not familiar with either Brian or Glen, then take a moment to read up at Backlinko.com and Detailed.com respectively.

But I digress.

In a recent article posted by Glen, “How 16 Companies are Dominating the World’s Google Search Results”, he reveals how the perceived and varying range in Google search results is controlled by a handful of large corporate conglomerates.

Glen poses a very good question for all to consider, especially should a brand survive from garnering traffic from the ol’ great Google:

“Are the Google rankings I aim to get for myself and my clients actually controlled by just three hands full of companies?”

How to SSH to RoseHosting (Virtual Private Server) VPS

RoseHosting Web Services
Written by: Alvin Brown

Having developed hundreds of websites for others as well as my own, I have had my fair share of experiences with a wide range of web hosting providers.

I’ve hosted sites with Bluehost, HostGator, InMotion, Hostway, DreamHost, HostMonster, and GoDaddy. All have their pros and cons, and hacked experiences.

GoDaddy and Bluehost were once my go-to web hosting providers. I still have a few personal-developed websites and projects that use GoDaddy shared hosting, but my go-to web hosting providers this season are A2Hosting and RoseHosting.

For one, they offer way more affordable manage hosting virtual private server plans with greater scalability and performance than all previously used web hosting providers. I love the increased performance my websites have realized with SSD (A2Hosting) and NVMe (RoseHosting) storage. And don’t get me started about their quicker-than-lightning customer support experience — the team is so personable and knowledgeable.

Quite honestly, I’m willing to pay more for customer support, and managed services, and simply not to be ‘nickeled and dimed’ for every little thing and service offering.

While I love both A2Hosting and RoseHosting, I was reminded the other day about my experience of attempting to SSH into my RoseHosting environment.
