Hi,I just wanted to post a quick update letting everyone know that I am still hanging in there and I am hoping and praying that this whole situation can be settled quickly. At this moment, it looks like we will have our preliminary hearing on March 10, 2009, but that date is not set in stone. I will post here when I know more.Thanks!Adam

Hi Everyone,As all of my clients and many others know, I will be closed to new clients for an unknown amount of time. The software that we offer to everyone(the website builder) was purchased from a developer several month's ago. Unfortunately, the actual ownership of the software has been questioned by another hosting provider who offers a similar program. The other hosting provider filed DMCA

In honor of the holiday season I decided to start a new program that gives back to the customers who have given so much to me. From this month on I will give one lucky customer a free month of hosting. You will receive it in the form of a Paypal refund. You can only win once per year and your account must be current for you to be elibible and there is nothing you need to do to enter this time. I

Hi Guys,I entered a contest on another blog a few weeks ago and somehow I lucked up and won!!! YAY!!!

So, I love online interaction and the communities found around the net. I am part of several forums including Craftster and Craftserver. Just recently I stumbled upon a new community...ACG. Since then I have been addicted. All of the people there are really kind. There are lots of pictures and even more valuable information. Right now there are around 300 members so it still has a way to go

So, this is my third post today. Whew! Anyhow, this is the most important of the three.I have been working on a few updates. These are not security related. They are simply cosmetic and help simplify a few things when using the page manager, newsletter manager, and send email option. None of your current settings will be changed.

Hi Everyone,Its official. We have run out of ideas for what to write so we came up with this.If you write an article for the GracefulHosting blog and we decide to use it, you get a free months worth of hosting. Now, we know thats not much but we are not asking for an encyclopedia style article. Just hints, tips, ideas, etc for running a small business.If you are interested you may contact us at

Now that it is over, I can get back to doing what I really love…helping out small businesses. Below is my tutorial on taking product pictures.

Public Speaking TipsSo, public speaking is one of those things that comes natural to some and not to others. It DOES NOT come natural to me. This in mind, it takes a lot for me to speak publicly and manage to keep everyone awake. Below are a few tips that might help those who do not have that public speaking talent and there might even be some tips below that help out the most proficient public

You’re a PayPal person, huh? Who isn’t these days. Near every person who has been on the internet more than three times has taken the few minutes registration requires. This in mind, it makes perfect sense that a retailer would accept PayPal payments. Only issue is, the fees are expensive if you don’t have the right account. Being a PayPal person myself, I have learned a few lessons since I

We recently closed our store, GracefulHosting.com, due to a huge spike in signups. We expected to have the new signups completed Monday afternoon but managed to work throught them today. Therefore, we are now accepting new signups once again. All new hosting orders will be processed in 24-48 hours. Thanks for your cooperation.GracefulHosting Support

So, I am an avid reader of Entrepreneur (Entrepreneur.com)... a two year subscription cost less than $30.00. Well, the latest issue, October 2008, had an article in it that talked about low cost marketing ideas. I thought to myself, ‘Great!!! This is exactly the knowledge that many of my customers have been asking for.’ So, I wrote my own article better focused to small business. Here it is.1.
