Posted by in Technology

There have been many advances in the realm of teleconferencing over the past few years. The cost of web conferencing systems has decreased, while the quality of video has made dramatic improvements. While businesses have discovered that teleconferencing can help them save time and money, everyday people are also finding that this technology can help them stay in touch better than ever. While there are many important events that family members would love to attend, distance and scheduling doesn’t always allow people to be there for their loved ones. However, many families have learned that video conferencing is an ideal solution for those who couldn’t otherwise see the weddings, graduations, and other landmark moments in their family. Such communication options have also allowed soldiers who are stationed overseas to remain in contact with families back home, allowing them the opportunity to see their children grow up and celebrate birthdays and other special moments. Nothing beats being there in person, but for some, teleconferencing is the next best thing....

The Importance of Choosing an Unlimited Data Plan for Rural Internet

Jan 07, 23 The Importance of Choosing an Unlimited Data Plan for Rural Internet

Posted by in Technology

What factors do you consider when looking for the right Internet service provider for your needs? Speed, overall pricing, and coverage are important factors to consider, but have you considered whether your chosen rural Internet service provider offers unlimited data? Even in urban and suburban areas, some of the most prominent Internet service providers such as CenturyLink place data caps on their service. Since rural residents have a more limited set of options than urban and suburban citizens, they will have to choose from companies specifically offering Internet for rural areas. This means rural residents will have to look for unlimited satellite companies or unlimited 4G rural Internet companies such as UbiFi. When an Internet provider does not offer unlimited data, it means that it sets caps on its customers’ use of data. If and when a customer exceeds these data caps, they will have to pay overage fees that increase depending on how far over the limit a customer’s usage is. On average, companies that enforce data caps charge around $10 per every 50 GB a customer goes over the limit. This can become highly inconvenient and irritating if you consistently perform data-heavy activities such as streaming high-definition entertainment, downloading large files, and video chatting. Companies like UbiFi are ideal for rural residents who use the Internet for these activities because they offer full-speed data with no expensive overage fees. Not only do UbiFi and other rural Internet companies provide service that is accessible to people even in highly remote regions, but they also offer impressive user-friendly features that allow them to compete with the best broadband Internet services that are unavailable in rural America. Be sure to do some research on the best rural Internet service providers with unlimited data before committing to an Internet...

Aug 11, 22 Is Satellite Internet the Best Choice for RVers?

Posted by in Technology

Are you planning to take a road trip through the most remote nature spots in the country? Or have you decided to upend your life and live your life on the road from now on? While taking in the wonders and comforts of nature and rural America, you may need some access to reliable Internet for rural areas. Internet access will allow you to stay connected with your friends and family and stay educated about the world around you. However, finding Internet access that covers you in the most remote areas may prove a challenge for some RVers. Finding the best rural Internet service provider may seem like a tall order, but a few options consistently rank high. Satellite Internet service providers such as Viasat or Xfinity are popular choices because of their ability to provide coverage nearly anywhere in the world. The use of satellites orbiting the earth gives the best satellite Internet service providers a larger reach than any other type of rural internet service provider. However, this impressive, innovative use of technology still comes with a few downsides that customers should be aware of before choosing satellite Internet. First, satellite Internet can be very spotty when it is used in the presence of obstructions. Trees, hills, and other unseen obstructions can interfere with your Internet connection when you need it the most. Secondly, satellite Internet often comes with high latency and data caps. If you do remote work in your RV, you may prefer a mobile Internet service provider such as UbiFi. Companies like UbiFi use cell towers to provide unlimited 4G rural Internet with low data caps. You may prefer UbiFi over Viasat if you enjoy gaming or prefer doing work in your...

Essential Types of Internet Access You Should Know About

Jul 03, 22 Essential Types of Internet Access You Should Know About

Posted by in Technology

Despite the ubiquity of Wi-Fi connection, not every house relies on wireless Internet to access the World Wide Web. Here are three types of Internet access you should be familiar with. Wired Internet Wired Internet allows users to use ethernet cables to exchange data over the Internet. Because devices are hardwired to the Internet, wired Internet is known for being extremely stable and fast. Many professional organizations use wired connections to ensure reliability in their Internet dealings. However, wired Internet may not be practical for all users because it is a high-maintenance method that requires complex installation and maintenance. Satellite Internet A satellite Internet service provider materializes an Internet connection by sending a signal to a satellite in space, which is then transmitted to a user’s dish or router. This gives satellite Internet excellent coverage, speed, and mobility. One of the best satellite Internet service providers is Starlink, which is the brainchild of Elon Musk and his trailblazing company SpaceX. Other satellite providers include HughesNet and Viasat. Despite satellite’s advantages, users must be aware of satellite Internet’s high latency, data caps, and disruptions caused by obstructions. Mobile Internet Like satellite Internet, mobile internet is a perennial favorite as a rural Internet service provider and RV mobile Internet service provider. Mobile Internet providers such as UbiFi use 4G LTE towers to provide far-reaching unlimited 4G rural Internet to rural and underserved areas. Based on your needs, UbiFi is a viable alternative to satellite internet because of its lack of data caps and lower latency. If you’re looking for Internet for rural areas, be sure to consider mobile Internet providers like UbiFi in addition to your usual...

What is a VPS?

Apr 10, 22 What is a VPS?

Posted by in Technology

Blog provided by Electric Kitten A virtual private server (VPS) is a type of hosting where you can purchase a portion of a physical server, essentially making it your own. This gives you the ability to install and run your own software, including custom configurations and applications. How does a VPS differ from a VM? A Virtual Machine abstracts the hardware and runs an operating system on each virtual machine. While a VPS is often a single Operating System that runs containers that abstract the OS making it seem like each VPS has its own OS. There are many reasons why someone might choose to use a VPS: for example, if you need more control over your hosting environment than what’s offered by traditional shared hosting plans; if you have specific compliance requirements that preclude using public cloud services; or if you want to set up an isolated development or testing environment without having to invest in hardware and infrastructure. When choosing a VPS provider, it’s important to consider factors such as price, features offered (including operating system options), bandwidth and storage quotas, customer support quality, and the company’s reputation. If you need LA colocation or dedicated server provider you can trust, contact Electric Kitten today. They’ve provided reliable web hosting services for almost two decades. If you are in the Southern California area, give them a call at 877-821-HOST or email them at...

Mar 22, 22 Famous People Who Struggled to Get Started

Posted by in Business Services

Lots of people have done this. At some point in their lives, their business failed. Or they found themselves in the middle of an ugly divorce that tore apart their family life. Sometimes when everything that can possibly go wrong, does, we feel like throwing in the towel and just quitting. And often, this is exactly what people do…they give up on themselves and on life. They stop trying to create abundance. Walt Disney started out as a commercial artist, forming a company called, “Iwerks-Disney Commercial Artists.” His company failed, but Disney loved animation and kept working in the field. Eventually, he opened his own animation company which was very successful, but he was not good at managing finances and finally had to declare bankruptcy. After this devastating failure, he joined forces with his brother Roy, and moved to Hollywood to produce cartoons for movie studios. In spite of multiple failures and bankruptcy, Disney kept moving forward, doing what he loved. Eventually, he developed a character named, “Mickey Mouse” and the rest is history. No one is ever 100% successful at everything! Sometimes our worst failures are the beginning of a whole new and incredible career. Don’t camp out at your failures! Don’t build an altar to them where you moan, cry and refuse to move forward. You failed! So what? Get up and get going again as soon as possible on the road to create abundance. You only lose the game if you stop playing. Create Abundance by Zhang Xinyue offers some help. The book is for individuals who want to live a life of abundance. Learning to meditate is one of the useful suggestions. This is beneficial for everyday anxiety. This book’s advice can help you stay focused on running your...

How Some Companies Are Lowering Hearing Aid Prices

Dec 22, 21 How Some Companies Are Lowering Hearing Aid Prices

Posted by in Health

Historically, the small size of the hearing aid market has led to higher prices. With most hearing aid products costing around $1,000 to $4,000, many of them are out of some customers’ budget ranges. Recently, there has been an increased demand for more affordable hearing aids. Some analysts believe that this demand might spur the growth of the hearing aid industry from this year onward. In addition to a small market, there are other factors that influence the hearing aid industry’s high prices. The biggest factor influencing pricing is the addition of middleman costs such as office space and payment for audiologist services. Many hearing aid businesses require customers to take a hearing test before allowing them to purchase hearing aids. One easy way that companies have been lowering hearing aid prices is by eliminating the costs associated with hearing exams. Companies such as Audicus and MDHearingAid have circumvented this challenge by offering online hearing tests that are quick and easy to take without the assistance of an audiologist. Other companies such as HueHearing do not require customers to take a hearing test, making the process even simpler. As a result of cutting out the middleman, HueHearing is able to offer its products at a significant discount. A single Hue Hearing Aid can retail for $68 while on sale and $169.97 at full price. In a similar vein, they offer a pair of hearing aids for $132 while on sale and $299.97 at full price. For customers interested in this business model, you can read HueHearing Reviews online and decide for yourself if they’re the best option for...
