New Website Services!

A while ago we did a website for Jeska Design - jeskadesign.com.au. We have now updated her website with an online ordering system, new graphics and slide transitions. We made her graphical vision become a reality! Are you a graphic designer, wanting to broaden your horizons and offer web design amongst your services? We can help! Have a look at our other web designs at http://dcnsolutions.net/webdesign and our new outsourcing page at http://dcnsolutions.net/outsourcing!

New Website: cameradynamics.com

We have been busy with a new website: http://www.cameradynamics.net/. This website, although basic, can store thousands of items for sale in the custom eStore database. There is a backend to add new products, and all customer orders are emailed through to the office straight from the website.

Cheap Hosting - Pros and Cons

There are many options for hosting your website, and some companies are offering extremely cheap deals, which include databases, email and even Google adwords coupons. So why stay with an Australian hosting provider? Here are some pros and cons

Pros:
Overseas hosting is cheaper
More features included in their base products

Cons:
Delays in access times (traffic has to be routed out of the country, then back in. This is a problem for local customers, especially if your target market is in Australia)
Delays in talking to a real person in your area (some companies setup instant messaging links overseas for technical support)
Downtime due to network outages (since the servers are many links away, there is a greater risk of an outage)

Our hosting packages are run from dedicated servers in Malaga, maintained by local people, working in our timezone. Really it boils down to this: is the sweetness of a cheap price worth the risk of delays and outages?

Solid State Hard Drives Keep Your Files Safer

Solid State hard drives are the latest in the evolution of storage technologies. They will eventually replace hard drive based storage devices currently used in your laptops and desktop computers. They are designed to save information directly on to silicon chips as opposed to magnetically encoding a rotating steel platter. One of the interesting by-products of this move is that Solid State drives can be easily and quickly erased. Older hard drives would take considerably longer to do a low-level format which would permanently erase all data. This has now allowed criminals to erase evidence instead of being caught.
