Choose from the best web hosting plans for 2018: Australia Vs US Hosting

February 19, 2017 by admin 5 Comments

Here at DigitalGrog we regularly publish  step by step guides to creating a website, web hosting comparisons, reviews of hosting providers and domain name services.

Below is a detailed listing of webhosting companies with prices and features. This will help  you get started on your new journey if your creating a new business website or just a personal blog.

Godaddy Australia

If you are on a budget and price matters to get you started, you might want to try the current Godaddy deal- Click here above

Our recommendation is for Bluehost – Current deal here for a WordPress website or blog  and WP-Engine if your starting a business website – Current deal here.

 

Pricing table with an Table ID of "compare7hosts" is not defined.

 

Hosting Comparison – Australia Or US Host ?

Hosting in Australia is significantly more expensive than most other places in the world. Most of it comes down to some of the high cost of labour in Australia and of course infrastructure/backhaul internet/DC fees.

Latency is not the most important aspect of the loading times between here and the US and should be considered if you are running a high traffic website.

australia

Often when comparing how fast a server is providing content, factors like comparing the application stack, use of hardware load balancers, caching, CDN’s server technology etc are not taken into account when it should be.

 

Does US hosting IP affect my website ranking?

Search engines like google base their algorithms on a number of factors, one of them being the IP address location. Getting a country TLD domain can help, such as a .com.au domain for a business website or blog targeting Australian viewers.

Overseas hosting can still get results  by using proper SEO techniques and Google tweaks, like logging into the google search engine webmaster tools and telling them who your target market is.

A US host with a CDN can also help, if you want to go one step further by speeding up your loading time further and getting a nearby network point to your country.

Webhosting Acronyms Glossary and Meanings

Below is many words related to website hosting and managing. It is acronyms, features and just about a glossary for website related terms. This might be helpful when you are trying to make sense of terms when you build your first website or purchase services to create your first blog or webpage.

CMS – Content Management System is a program used to publish, edit and modify content on a given websites. CMS is often used to run websites containing blogs, news and shopping sites.

SSL – Secure Socket Layer is a cryptographic protocol that was designed to provide communication security over the internet.

CSS – Cascading Style Sheets is a style sheet language used to describe the overall look and format of a site that has been written in a markup language.

Disk Space – The amount of space allocated to you on the server to store files, pages, emails, and more.

Uptime – The amount of time the server is uninterrupted and your website is accessible. This is typically shown as a percentage. You want a high uptime (99% and above) so as not to disrupt access to your site

Reseller Hosting – Where a block of server resources is sold to an individual for purposes of using it to host multiple domains under their own name

Control Panel – The control panel is the central hub for a web hosting account. This is where the user modifies and controls all aspects of their web hosting such as adding new domains and sub domains, uploading web pages and installing server applications

MySQL – A database system that is often included in hosting packages. It is commonly used with a variety of applications

PHP – Hypertext Pre-Processor is a server-side scripting language designed for the development of websites and can also be used as a general-purpose programming language

Linux Server – A server that uses Linux, a free, open source operating system used by most shared and free web hosts

Windows Server – A server that uses Windows as the operating system. This type of plan is typically more expensive but necessary to accommodate specific applications

Add-domain – It is additional domains which can be createed from the main domain control panel without having a separate hosting account. It had all features just like a main domain, but with no cPanel control.

Sub-domain – A subdomain is a subsection of your website that can exist as a new website without a new domain name. Use subdomains to create memorable URLs for different content areas of your site.

Dont delay getting started! Better today than tomorrow.

Good luck!

5 PC hardware pieces you’ll want to try out in 2017

February 13, 2017 by admin

teh gigabyte laptop

With new-fangled technologies making their way onto the marketplace seemingly every day, PC users are by now undoubtedly familiar with the need to upgrade their systems on a regular basis. Not all hardware pieces are created equal, however, which is why we’ve taken the time to shine a spotlight on the best items currently available in stores:

The ideal video card

For many PC rigs, video cards are unquestionably the stars of the show. They bear the brunt of responsibility when it comes to displaying visual elements on your monitor, which means that everything from games to high-definition videos need them in order to function properly. Luckily, nowadays you can find excellent deals on video cards in online stores such as PC Byte, where a top gaming card like the MSI Radeon RX 480 can be found for just a shade over $400. This video card is powerful enough to allow users to experience the world of virtual reality gaming, while at the same time featuring advanced cooling capabilities that are designed to keep it running silently even when under heavy use.

A processor to rule them all

Next to video cards, processors are just as essential when it comes to keeping your PC running smoothly. Right now, the Intel Core i5-7600K stands out due to offering the best value in its price range. Available for less than $250 dollars in most online stores, the processor is strong enough to handle even the most demanding games, while also boasting some nifty overclocking potential. While it may lack the insane number of cores that defines other high-end processors, the Intel Core i5-7600K is powerful enough to fulfil the needs of most PC users.

A reliable UPS

As electrical grids age and power outages become even more common, the chances of experiencing a blackout that causes you to lose valuable data on your PC will also increase exponentially. This makes the need to purchase a reliable uninterruptible power supply even more urgent. UPSes can be found across multiple prices ranges, but for the average PC user a decent one can be bought for less than $200. For instance, the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD 1500VA has enough juice to handle most gaming machines, even those running dual GPUs. It’s also quite compact for its load support, and boasts an LCD screen that allows you to monitor your computer’s status closely.

The speediest RAM

Costing much less than a new video card or processor, a good-quality memory card can nevertheless help your PC run much faster than before. Nowadays DDR4 is the latest standard in the industry, but you can still find great deals on DDR3 RAM if your motherboard doesn’t have the appropriate slots for the newest technology. Most PCs will be fine with 8GB of memory, but you can upgrade to 16GB if you really want to stay safe on this front for the next couple of years as well. To that end, the Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB DDR4 currently retails at less than $120, making it a great option for people who are relatively short on funds.

The best storage option

Your computer’s storing capabilities are what ultimately determine its capacity to hold whatever it is you want to keep on it. While cloud-based solutions may one day render hardware limitations obsolete, for now having a good storage option is still essential if you want to have apps and games on your PC. While SSDs used to lag behind traditional hard disks when it came to size, they’ve recently caught up. The Samsung 850 EVO 500GB, for instance, retails for around $150 and boasts tremendous read speeds that regularly hit 500MB/second. It can be purchased in versions ranging from the comparatively tiny 120GB to the absolutely massive 4TB, enough to handle the requirements of even the most dedicated of software hoarders.

awesome keypad with lights  pc bytes

Whether you want to use your PC as a high-end gaming rig or if you simply want it to be powerful enough to run full HD videos smoothly, the aforementioned items will give your system the kick it needs to stay with the times. So don’t hesitate to make some timely investments today in order to have a competitive PC tomorrow.

7 New Cool gadgets at CES Technology show 2017

February 7, 2017 by admin

Yes 2017 is here and there is a lot of innovation happening in the technology space.  If you have not heard of the new car with no steering wheel and the machine that automatically  does the ironing and folding of clothes for you,  then you are not up to scratch with your tech news.

Here are some more interesting innovating gadgets unveiled at the CES show this year.

The automated ironing machine that can do the dull and drab work of ironing and folding your clothes right is called fondimate and is available for USD $850 dollars.

It just got unveiled at the  CES show in Las Vegas, Nevada USA….  It not only steams and presses your shirt but also folds it neatly.

This lady who won the million dollar lotto and said the first thing she would do is hire somebody to do the ironing would surely be interested in this. Here it is:

FoldiMate laundry robot

clip_image001

Above: FoldiMate folds your laundry. Image Credit: FoldiMate

FoldiMate is the womens and mens ultimate dream gadget. It has created a robot that will fold your laundry. Foldi Mate’s machine does this all when you clip your clothes onto a slot on the machine (this is just the bit that takes some work). The robot then pulls the clothing over a board and steams it, then folds it. Thats it done. Too easy.

You need this now! It takes the robot about just about 10 seconds to fold one item, and it has a capacity of about 15 to 20 items which is quite good and will save you quite some time. Once this smart little robot machine is finished with the whole load of clothes, it neatly delivers out the folded clothes for you to remove and stack or use. The machine is said to cost around $850 or so.

Next : 

The Car with no steering wheel

The company that is so confident about its auto driving car that they haven’t put in a steering wheel is the auto giant  ford. ITS not launched yet, but its not too far away with current technology advances and will be released in 2021.

Ford plans to build a fully autonomous vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals by 2021, the company announced. The vehicle will be aimed at ride-hailing and ride-sharing fleets.

Ford CEO Mark Fields  and  no sterring wheel

The motor vehicle  wont have steering wheel, brake or gas pedals, offering full Level 4 self-driving features which don’t require a human driver at all

Well ironing automated gadgets and cars that have no steering wheels is not the only breakthroughs of 2017. 

This new retro kind of cool gadget just released will definitely make the romantics happy.  It’s called the love box (don’t ask) , what it does – ok then i will tell you…

Love box:

The LoveBox was invented by a French guy who missed his wife. She wasn’t as tech minded as him and didn’t like Skype or WhatsApp calling methods, and so he thought about a more convenient and romantic alternative to send messages between the two of them.

The sender using love box can type a small message for the receiver to see on a mirrored surface. The box heart spins when there’s a new message and the message is delivered. It will cost $120, with shipping starting in June 2017.

I love cars and this 2017  release from Toyota sure caught my fancy :

Toyota Concept-i

clip_image002

The future of cars is self-driving cars, but Toyota wants to give you more than that. The Concept-i vehicle shown at CES 2017 show would be capable of driving autonomously, with its biggest draw is the smart artificial intelligence that powers it.

Toyota claims the car learns to be smarter with this smart car being able to learn more about the drivers’ preferences and needs over time as you interact with it more just like a human being. By learning more it can start to suggest destinations after a driver chats with it and more features are going to be added as this unfolds and updates. This vehicle’s virtual assistant also got a name – not siri 2 – its called “Yui.”

Gadgets I crave and  I could not , not feature this amazing drone  from  parrot.They make amazing drones and this ones a bit special.

clip_image002[6]

BEST OF INNOVATIONS: DRONES AND UNMANNED SYSTEMS

The POWERUP FPV – Paper Airplane VR Drone from parrot

This was released by parrot as part of their POWERUP TOYS release

They had a stall at Booth #50801

The gadget PowerUp FPV lets you experience flight as if you were sitting in the cockpit of your very own paper airplane creation. This takes the virtual reality to another level with its ingenuity. The airplane generates a live video stream to the included VR cardboard Viewer.

You can see what your plane sees, and also control your paper drone with intuitive movements of your head making it soar higher that you expected. You need to get this!

What not to love about this laptop ?

I still am in search for the perfect laptop, i got a DELL laptop last year – but im due for an upgrade and change and  this one makes me takeout my wallet!!

Razer Project Valerie – The gamers/hackers laptop

clip_image002[8]

This will turn out to be many peoples dream laptop. It’s got the power and also the screens to go with it.

When you’re using a laptop for doing work, playing video games, Hacking code or streaming Netflix , one screen isn’t just enough. So why settle with two and instead have three?

Razer’s Project Valerie concept new dream computer laptop does just that by adding two screens to your laptop. These screens are foldable and have displays that expand out from the main screen in the centre. The screens are 17 inches diagonally and supports the newest 4K resolution

The good thing is that the company says the screens can be used independently or together as one giant display. Theta all to pro – the only con is – It weighs 12 pounds, which is more than the average notebook but more closer to top end gaming laptops.

Dont Be cruel to your family Jewels

There is something for everyone at the CES technology and gadgets  show  an this one is amazing and Men Only . Nah Not CES release seriously,  but indiegogogo

Spartan: the anti-radiation boxer shorts

clip_image002[10]

INDIEGOGO

Smartphones have become popular beyond belief and its takes over the phone world so much so, that we can’t do without one in everyday life. The thing that is on everyone’s corner of the mind, but not many people talk about is radiation from phones.

People have started to put their smart phones in their back pockets or front pockets at the risk of it slipping off and falling or getting lost, but he radiation fear still persists in the corner of your mind.

Spartan has developed a undergarment that looks to shield any man’s family jewels from this modern dilemma. It’s called the Spartan Boxer Briefs and these special undergarments feature anti-radiation tech that aim to protect men’s health and fertility. It does this by creating an electromagnetic shield that blocks wireless radiation from cellphone and WiFi signals.

This technology in the garment works on the same principle as a microwave but keeping the radiation out instead of inside. The technology definitely teaches you not to be cruel to your family jewels

USB DRIVES JUST GOT SUPER UPGRADED

One of the other gadgets that is close to my heart and got  released recently is a gadget by Kingston. I collect USB drives! I think that company is a south korean company, they have quality stuff and I have bought from them before. They just released a 2 terabyte USB drive , daymm !  I mean 2 TERABYTE in a small little USB that’s amazing.

The company has created a 2kingston 2 terbyte drive  1 terbyte small picTB pocket flash drive (also available in 1TB), called DataTraveler Ultimate GT (Generation Terabyte). This is now the world’s largest capacity USB flash drive. Data Traveler Ultimate GT offers superior quality being made of a zinc-alloy metal casing for shock resistance.

Specs of Kingston Drive

  • Capacities1: 1TB, 2TB
  • Speed: USB 3.1 Gen. 1 (USB 3.0)
  • Dimensions: 72mm x 26.94mm x 21mm
  • Operating Temperature: -25°C to 60°C
  • Storage Temperature: -40°C to 85°C
  • Warranty: 5-year warranty with free technical support
  • Compatible with: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 (SP1), Mac OS v.10.9.x+, Linux v.2.6.x+, Chrome OS

But then its Korea, they had 1 terabyte pcs.. when we were still selling pcs with 200 gb in the shops 10 years ago (my Korean flatmate 10 years ago said so and had one)

The CES show is one of the biggest technology shows in the world and most big companies worth their money  showcase their new breakthrough products in this show.  Look out for the 2018 show next year! This year among other things, there was  a lot of focus on self driving cars and  home robots as well.

CleverLoop Security Camera System Review

January 30, 2017 by admin

clip_image002

The CleverLoop security camera system is designed for homes and businesses wanting an affordable yet smart way of monitoring their property. As well as being clever by name, this security system is also clever by nature as it actually learns, with a little input from the user, what’s important and what’s not.

Important activities that justify an instant alert being sent to the CleverLoop smartphone app include people or vehicles, whereas movements that aren’t important, such as trees, pets and light changes, are ignored. This significantly reduces false alerts, a common issue with many camera security systems.

With users receiving live alerts that include video footage, CleverLoop can be used as a standalone smart home security system, effectively eliminating the need for a traditional burglar alarm. This type of active monitoring camera system is probably the next best thing to hiring a security guard to look after your place 24 hours a day!

Most traditional monitored alarm systems in Australia cost $20 to $40 a month in monitoring fees, which adds up even in just one year. A major attraction of CleverLoop as a home security camera system, or indeed for business security, is that it doesn’t require a monthly monitoring service fee.

Instead, you can keep an eye on your own property and possessions as your cameras are linked up with your smartphone, via a well-designed IOS / Android app. Via this app you’ll receive push notifications, which you can easily disable, to alert you whenever there’s activity in front of one of your cameras. The system records 10 second long video clips by default so you can see exactly what was in the camera’s view. You’re also able to quickly view real-time views from any of your linked cameras.

clip_image004

Who Should be looking at the CleverLoop System?

Homeowners to monitor for unusual activity or to keep an eye on pets or children
Everyone wants a safer home and CleverLoop’s smartphone app functionality makes it a versatile system that provides for burglary protection and much more. Use it to make sure the kids arrived safely back from school or as a ‘petcam’ to see how your pets are when you are out at work.

Renters who want security solutions that won’t upset the landlord!

You want better security for your family and possessions, though your landlord doesn’t want to fork out to alarm the house or have you damage walls when installing a security system, or removing it when the tenancy is up. Indoor cameras can simply sit on benches or bookcases without the need for screws, or can be fixed to walls using heavy-duty 3M removable sticky strips. Outdoor cameras are pretty heavy-duty and solid, so would need to be screwed in place.

Small businesses wanting to protect stock, staff or cash areas
CleverLoop is ideal for smaller business looking for additional security without ongoing monitoring charges, especially as it can connect up to 4 cameras with a single Base Station. CleverLoop allows businesses to easily and affordably monitor behind counter staff, outside areas (especially after hours to prevent break ins or vandalism), loading/delivery areas and any other places where security is needed.

Easy Install of Your CleverLoop Security System

CleverLoop has a painless and user-friendly setup, even for the non-tech savvy! No confusing and poorly explained instruction manual. Instead, you download the app onto your phone and follow a series of short 3-5 second clips to get you up and running.

clip_image006

Summary
Indoor and outdoor high-definition cameras are both well spec’d and are connectable through data cable or WiFi. Coupled with a brilliantly designed app make this a genuinely smart security system. Click here to see the cool things the app does.

The system has a geo-fencing function, which means cameras can be activated/de-activated when an app’s users phone is within a certain distance of the Base Station. This certainly reduces the chance of forgetting to activate your security system when leaving the house!

Is xero online accounting suitable for small business

January 21, 2017 by admin

The Accounting software for business  niche has been transformed in 2016 -2017.  If you are looking for book keeping services, there are many online providers now that make it easy for you to do it yourself. Xero online accounting is one of them.

2017 sole trader business bookkeeping

Australia’s economy has been improving year by year thanks to growing small business, entrepreneurs and overseas investment. Yet for years there has been no specific technology built from the ground up for sole traders and small business to handle their accounts themselves – now Xero has made that easy.

Step by step registration guide for  Xero Accounting Software( Screenshot Guide)


Traditional book keeping software companies like MYOB has made their software compatible for online accounting but only to compete with newer fresh entrants like Xerosoftware and that is where they lack the ease of use which Xero gives you.

Australia has a lot of small businesses and many people that operate as sole traders or contractors . Keeping proper accounts and books  can be time consuming and hard for the  tradie’s and small business. Xero was launched as an innovative cloud accounting  platform, so that you can login from anywhere and enter your transactions.

The good thing about this software is if you don’t  have the  time to do it yourself, you can just give access to the data/account you collected  to your accountant to do the books. This online software is accessible from most smart devices of today  and  it handles  bank transactions, bills , invoicing and much more.

The platform is built in such a way that you can start with a affordable starter package and when your business grows  you can just  upgrade to add more bells and whistles.

They online accounting packages work  on  a  monthly  subscription based package, you just choose the package subscription according to your needs.

Lets have a look at how you can register for this software and get started.

They have a 30 day free trial  offer (below)

First go to the Xero page to sign up  – https://www.xero.com/au/signup/

join for free trail 1

It will ask you  for  name , email, phone number and country

Fill that in, then tick mark the “I’m not a robot” and “terms and conditions “ boxes

Xero was founded by Rod Drury and his personal accountant when they felt that traditional desktop accounting software had become outdated and decided to create a modern cloud-based product

dont forget recaptcha 2

When you click submit , immediately it will tell you an email was send  to your email address

am email is on its way 3 from zero

create password for account 6

 

Xero’s products are used in over 180 different countries and it has  has offices in New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Singapore.

This will take you to create a password screen ( It’ll need to contain at least 8 characters, including one or more numbers)

Fill in form and start trial of xero accounting for free 7 step

Next screen it will ask you for  your business name  like in the screen (as above) , if you got data with myob or reckon you can move your data for free  by clicking on that link  shown. Tickmark if you  have registered with GST.

aged recievables screen entry step 9

Screenshot – add claim, expenses, receipts

add reciept claim expenses step 10

Once you are signed up apart from basic tasks like making invoices and entering accounts details, here are some more things you can do.

  • Connect your bank feeds
    You will need to add your organisation details to keep in touch with your customers
    You can get paid by your customers instantly by setting up payment services
    Invite your adviser/accountant, or find one in the directory
    Edit or import your Chart of Accounts into your software
    Import the customers and suppliers you regularly transact with into software

If you want  you can also Try the Demo Company (AU)  and have a play, try out new features and get familiar with Xero, before actually buying – but i would suggest just  getting the free trial first is better which can be done in a few steps (takes 5 minutes) as shown above and giving it a go.

Added bonus for signing up is – If you have any questions  there will be a rep calling you (I got called by them) after signup and you can surely ask them more questions during your trial period.
