How to SSH to RoseHosting (Virtual Private Server) VPS

September 2, 2020 2 Comments
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 my 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 in this season are A2Hosting and RoseHosting.

For one, they offer way more affordable manage hosting virtual private server plans with greater scalability and performance that 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 — team is so personable and knowledge.

Quite honestly, I’m willing to pay more for customer support, 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.

How to add a popup, modal, or content overlay in WordPress

WordPress Modals, Popups, and Overlays - WP Tutorials
Written by: Alvin Brown

Okay, it’s been a while since I shared a WordPress tutorial, and today’s your lucky day.

Of all the many questions posed on a weekly basis from various prospects and customers with WordPress websites, the question of how difficult it is to create a popup, modal, or content overlay is quite frequent.

Many are focused on their line of business and not so much the technical experts of the ins and outs of their website. That said, the creation of popups, modals and content overlays in WordPress might as well be rocket science.

And although it’s not my first time around the block providing this type of WordPress solution for those that desire functionality for their website, I’ll share with you two WordPress plugins I’ve started using on more and more projects.

Year-Over-Year Emoji Growth
Written by: Alvin Brown

Everyone and their grandmother, if not great-grandmother by now, use emoji — billions daily in collective use — to communicate a multitude of thoughts and expressions daily.

Whether by email, text, chat, clothing, or billboards, emoji marketing has nearly touched every possible form of communication, including domain names.

From Apple to Taco Bell to Domino’s to name a few, a growing number of brands are committing more and more marketing and advertising dollars to the use of emoji marketing.

One of the most recent announcements for brands entering the emoji marketing space with their own branded emoji — the pickup truck — is Ford Motor Company.

Clever New gTLD Strategy Drives Energy Management Empowering Change

December 28, 2018 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

It’s not everyday I stumble upon a business or personal brand actively growing their business through the use of new top-level domains (new gTLDs).

When I do, I find most business or personal brands are simply experimenting with such domains with no sign of commitment or results.
