Most cybersecurity experts agree that every internet user should invest in a virtual private network (VPN) client for both home and office. However, with hundreds of different providers offering similar products on the market, it can be incredibly challenging to choose one tool over another.
You should be prepared to pay a monthly or yearly fee for access to a reliable VPN service. Some providers may claim to have a completely free product, but those typically end up suffering from poor performance and stability. Some even may throttle your bandwidth usage or spy on your activity. Read More

For online merchants, the trackability of customer purchases and behavior is one of the biggest advantages of the business model. While real-world retailers must rely on old fashioned methods to track customer behavior, with the right tools, online retailers can tell which items a customer looked at, which ones they reviewed and which ones they placed in their shopping carts.
This last step, placing an item in an online shopping cart, is where many would-be purchases break down. A stunning percentage of online shopping carts are abandoned, costing online merchants millions of dollars in lost sales. Read More

Why Website Owners Should Consider Switching To HTTPS
by William Kenny
To understand the need to switch to HTTPS, it is first necessary to understand the difference between standard HTTP and HTTPS.
HTTP stands for hypertext transfer protocol, a protocol that defines how information is exchanged between a client (browser) and a web server. Every time a user connects to a website, the user’s browser sends a request to the server that lets the server know what is being sought. The server processes the request and either returns the requested resource or takes some other action, such as generating a ‘not found’ error message. Read More

There’s a quirky detective TV series in France called sœurtherese.com (translation: SisterTheresa.com). At the end of each episode, the ex-husband of the titular crime-busting nun makes the error of calling her blog soeurthese.fr. It’s a reasonable mistake to make given that .fr is the official top-level domain for the country in which the show is set. But Therese’s retort is always the same: “Dot-com, Gerard. It’s sœurtherese dot-com.”
Though fictional, Therese voices on a weekly basis what switched-on internet users already know: when it comes to domain names, .com is the extension that matters the most. Read More

Understanding user roles is important when building a WordPress website. Maybe you want to hire a blogger to create new posts, or perhaps you want to hire a freelance editor to proofread existing posts for typos. You can collaborate with other professionals such as these by creating separate accounts. Instead of logging in to your website’s dashboard using your account, they can use their own account. When creating user accounts in WordPress, though, you’ll have to choose roles for them. The content management system (CMS) features six user roles, each of which has specific permissions. Read More

Virtual Private Servers (VPS) give website owners more control of their site’s configurations and experience, so it’s no surprise that most website owners prefer it over standard shared hosting. Since customers have more control over server settings, VPS service is more challenging to secure. It’s still a virtual server connected to the network, so security for host administrators and customers should be a priority to protect data on the VPS instance and the host network. VPS implies that web hosts offer virtual private servers that split up a bare-metal server into smaller VPS instances instead of sharing all resources using shared servers. Read More
