How Do You Know When it’s Time to Transfer Your Domain Name?

Are you sure that your current web hosting deal is right for you? There are many things that you will need to take into full consideration before you can answer this question. For one thing, is your site complete safe and secure from hackers, phishers, and other types of cyber criminal? If a glitch hits your site, will be it fixed before the day is done? If even a large glitch goes unnoticed for days by your hosting provider, how can you be sure they will respond to your urgent plea for assistance after you suffer a major cybercrime attack?

If You Can’t Be Sure Your Provider Cares, it’s Time to Move On

To put it bluntly, if you don’t think that your provider cares for anything more than getting a regular check from you, it may well be time to move on. You should be able to contact your web hosting services provider at any time of the day or night in order to register with them any questions, comments, or concerns that you may have.

What Goes Into Running A Successful Ski Hill?

With the winter in full swing, Canadians are hitting the slopes to carve some powder, take in some fresh air and maybe cap it off with hot cocoa or cold beer. You might wonder, though, when you’re sway on the chairlift making your way up to the top of the mountain, how ski hills run successfully. To a certain extent, owners of ski hills rely on Mother Nature for a bit of good fortune – news that a hill has received a dump of fresh snow is sure to boost ticket sales.

But there’s more than just environmental luck at play. The whole operation seems to run so smoothly, from the chairlift attendants to the first responders, instructors, slope groomers and chalet workers – and that’s because a successful ski hill understands that there are multiple moving parts that go into making someone’s experience a positive one. And in order to fund it all, they hedge against bad weather by offering a big price break on season tickets. [Read more…] about What Goes Into Running A Successful Ski Hill?

Let Us Take a Look at Trends Changing Higher Education Globally

The field of education has expanded over the last few years. Owing to the influences of technology and the broader scope offered by the internet, education has seen quite a bit of change over the past years. As it adapts and evolves, so do the students, and subsequently does the world. Every bit of change is significant, and it is also important for educational institutions, as well as students, to stay abreast with the latest trends in education around the world.

Beyond the classroom

Even a decade ago, the idea of classroom being non-essential for education was something most people would not have accepted. But over the past few years, the importance of classroom has gradually reduced and now, any place can be a classroom, if there is a desire to learn. Not only distance education courses, even regular courses have started laying greater emphasis on education than the space of education.

How Betterment Design Took Over Robo-Advising

If you’re unfamiliar, Betterment is an automated investment service that takes users’ funds and puts them into uber-diversified ETFs and mutual funds, representing equities all over the globe. The user decides what percentage of the portfolio will be allocated to stocks and to bonds, and also identifies a risk-tolerance level – the highest risk tolerance chosen for the chance at largest growth in the shortest amount of time. Everything else is up to Betterment’s algorithms – buying, selling, tax-loss harvesting, allocation rebalancing, etc. It has been called the “set it and forget it” model of investing.
