Centos5: Open Source Server solution for all of your East Anglian Computer,Network or Internet requirements

April 28th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Business News

We have just finished migrating a local Thetford based business over from a poorly configured peer to peer Windows network (using a Vista Home edition pc as the ‘Server’ ) to a new HP115 G5 Centos 5.4 Server.  The new server features Raid1 mirrored drives for high reliability, Samba SMB windows complaint network shares for security, and has taken over all the DHCP, DNS and Proxy services from cheap netgear routers.

Open Source Linux servers are easily overlooked by IT Consultants as many do not have the expertise or experiance to install and support them, plus the fact that as the Operating System is Free, they don’t get to make an money on it – which is a real shame as Linux servers account for over 70% of the servers that make up the internet .  This blog is running on a Linux server right now!

A Linux server can provide email, web hosting, Content Management, CMS, FIle and Printer sharing and full firewall and VPN services and yet the software is FREE.  Thats right, your business can have the most stable, reliable operating system, running on the latest M115 HP servers for well under £1,000.  Thats less than the cost of Windows Server (software) Alone.

For more information on how Linux servers can help your business give David a call on 01953 878040.

What does your website say about you?

February 18th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Business News

In all probability, not much.  Over the last 2 weeks I have been examing the websites of local businesses to see how they are making use of SEO and the results are shocking.  Not because they are not using any SEO methods – they’re not – but because they think they are.   I have found around 60% of sites that have been developed by third parties – local web designers – have no inbuilt SEO despite the authors stating they have.  In fact, some sites have made no use of H1 tags, Alt Tags , Title etc.

Theres clearly a need for SEO in an every increasing market, so I lay down  this challenge.  If you think your site is optimised for the search engines then give me a call or email and let me know the website.  I will have a quick look and if either the Title,H1 or Alt tags are missing or badly formed then I’ll properly optimise your website for Just £100* (10 pages max)
