3 Ways to use WordPress as a Service

There are many ways, and many reasons, why you would want to use WordPress for something other than publishing a blog. Maybe you want a place to keep track of your ideas, somewhere to remember links you find or you simply need an online presence. Anything you can think of you can create.

The fact is that WordPress can be transformed into a powerful personal tool for a huge variety of purposes. I won't go through the whole process of installing and setting up WordPress here.

WordPress as a Service

I've made use of WordPress for different publishing and content sharing tasks but I've also deployed solutions to personal problems built solely from WordPress. I've even built sites from WordPress that are used within organizations to make their communications more efficient in the form of an Intranet.

Find Vulnerabilities on Facebook and Get Paid

Similar to Mozilla, Facebook is now paying over $500 to anyone who finds vulnerabilities which may compromise personal user data on their website. In order to get paid, you must be the first one to send it, and you need to give time to the Facebook team to fix the problem.

Backdoor into the Spotify Website

Today, I'm going to show you a backdoor into the full US version of the site. Even though Spotify is starting to launch in the US, you still get a landing page and all the order links do is lead you to a closed in ordering page.  Maybe, you want to see what their full US website looks like right now.  Well, you can. Start by Googling the word "Spotify" (without the quotes).

After Googling Spotify, this should be the first result.  To get into the backdoor of the website, just click Mac OS X under the result as shown above.  You'll still have to get a invite to get into the free version of Spotify but this is how to get into the main website for Spotify.

Review: FatCow Web Hosting

FatCow has been one of the most popular choices in website hosting since 1998. They continue to be one of the most popular web hosts today.

Plans:

• The Original FatCow Plan- $56/yr
• The MiniMoo- $5/yr

FatCow Pricing:

Since using FatCow, they have managed to make their pricing completely worth it. Their features are a huge selling point in the hosting market. I have had very limited issues when it comes to FatCow’s pricing. As an example, you have to pay for a full year of hosting. Yes, it would be a great benefit if you could pay for hosting monthly, but FatCow offers a 100% refund within 30 days of purchasing a FatCow Hosting plan. This allows the customer to see if their satisfied with FatCow’s amazing hosting experience.

Features and Bonuses:

FatCow really likes keeping their customer happy. FatCow has added amazing features that are top of the market and also some added bonuses.

• Unlimited Disk Space
• Unlimited Bandwidth
• Unlimited POP Mail Boxes
• Unlimited Domain Name Hosting
• Free Domain Name
• FTP Support
• MySQL
• Point & Click Site Building Tools
• $50 AdWords Credits
• $25 Yahoo! + Bing Search Engine Credits
• WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal Support
• 100% Wind Powered Hosting!
• Much, Much more

The MiniMoo plan is a cheaper plan for customers that need a small, inexpensive website. You can host only one website using the MiniMoo plan. However, the Original FatCow Plan allows you to host unlimited websites and unlimited disk space. I recommend the MiniMoo plan only if you are looking for a small, personal website. If you are looking for a larger website, I highly recommend upgrading to the Original FatCow Plan.

Performance and Uptime:

I’ve been with FatCow for a long time. Throughout the time of having FatCow as a host, I have yet to experience any issues with my hosting. FatCow really works hard to keep their hosting 100% problem free. The websites I have built are speedy and have had no data loss. Once you register, you’ll have your new website up and running in a heart beat.

Summary:

Overall, FatCow has been my choice of website hosting for a while now. I have yet to find anything that even compares to the amazing features and bonuses FatCow offers. I plan to remain a FatCow customer for the years coming.

When choosing a hosting company, be sure to check out FatCow. You should not be disappointed in their amazing hosting.
