How to Write a Proposal Template for FreeIn Feburary 2016 24,
In Feburary 2016 24,
Go to the OpenOffice website (see Resources) and download the OpenOffice program. This is an office suite that is free to use.
Open the file you downloaded, and follow the onscreen directions to install the software. Launch the OpenOffice software from the 'Start' menu, and select 'Text Document' option.
Prepare your cover page. Whether you choose a minimalist design, little more than your identifying information and proposal title or a more graphic backdrop is a matter of personal taste. Copy and paste any graphics you will be using, and write out your name, organization and a placeholder for your proposal title where you wish them to appear.
Format the text on your title page with the appropriate font, text size and styling for each line.
Prepare the format for proposal's abstract, or summary, on the next page. This will be the condensed version of your longer proposal. If you plan to include running graphical motifs in your page designs, add those now. Create the layout and formatting for the summary title and the summary itself.
Set the fonts, formatting and styling you will want to use for the main body of your proposals on the third page. This way, when you open your template to write your proposal, your fonts and size will be preprepared.
Click on the 'File' menu, then click on 'Save As.' Write in the title of your proposal template, navigate to the folder in which you want to store the template, and select 'Text Document Template' as the file type. Click save.

How to Get Free Food at RestaurantsIn Feburary 2016 21,
In Feburary 2016 21,
Think about the many restaurants that you have gone to in your life time. Then imagine the chain food restaurants that your family and friends revisit time after time. Wouldn't it be nice to get some great discounts at major restaurants. Well if you have access to the Internet, have a valid email address, and can take one minute out of your day then you will be surprised by the amount of free food you can get.
Visit any of your favorite chain restaurants home website and look for the option to join email list. Simply click on the 'join email list' and provide the basic information about yourself. It usually consists of first and last name, email address, and date of birth. Once you have completed the very short list of questions, just click the submit button. Within 24 hours, you will receive an email from the restaurant thanking you for joining and they will provide you a coupon for a free appetizer. On your birthday, restaurants will provide discounts for a free entree and dessert. You get these free giveaways for just signing up for an email list.
Once you receive your coupons for free food or huge discounts, simply print them out and provide to your server. They usually have expiration dates so make sure to use your coupons before it's too late. I have joined numerous email lists from chain food restaurants and have received coupons for free appetizers, free desserts, 50% off of your next visit, and free dinner for my birthday. If a restaurant doesn't send you any kind of coupon or discount for joining their email list, you will more than likely receive generous discounts during holidays. You have nothing to lose by entering your name and a valid email address. You also get notifications from these restaurants when your birthday comes. All together, you can enjoy your favorite restaurants and receive a break off your check from the great giveaways they provide customers that join the email list. I recommend everyone to get into this habit so that you can start saving some money and take full advantage of these offers.

How to Reserve Domain Names with No Hosting ServiceIn Feburary 2016 10,
In Feburary 2016 10,
First, find out if your domain name is available...
You can check if a domain name is available by doing a simple search of the term 'check domain availability' and several tools and sites will be listed. If the desired domain name is available you can move on to the next step. If it is not available you should do another search to on whois.net to find out when it will expire within your needed time frame. Repeat this step until you find a domain name that will work.
Next, Do a comparison of domain name pricing...
Do a comparison of companies that offer the option to purchase or reserve a domain name. By purchasing an available domain name you will reserve that address for a website at some point in time. If the domain name is not available and you would like to reserve it in case it expires you will have additional fees. Since you are not looking at a hosting service you do not need to compare features. In this step you are just comparing pricing to reserve or purchase a domain name.
Then, reserve the domain name but don't get a hosting service to save money...
After you choose a company make sure they have a domain name reservation option, so that you can just reserve or purchase the domain name. Unless you are ready to put up a website you do not need hosting with your domain name. A domain name with a hosting service will cost much more per year so save the money until you are ready to build a website.
Last, keep your domain name account current and active...
Domain names often expire without owners knowing. If you have hosting services you get constant reminders but as the owner of a domain name it is your responsibility to keep track of it. Consider signing up for recurring billing to ensure that you don't lose the domain name. Without an organized system or recurring billing you may lose the rights to a domain name you wanted to reserve. Continue to do this step so when you are ready to build your website the domain name will be good to go.

Free Alternatives to cPanelIn Feburary 2016 02,
In Feburary 2016 02,
Webmin provides an open source hosting control panel that provides many of the same features that you would find through cPanel, such as disk and bandwidth usage, website backups, scheduled cron jobs, system logs, SSH access, and support for MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. Webmin is also incredibly customizable, just like cPanel, so if you are reselling server space on a machine with webmin, you can brand it to your own company.Three major differences that set Webmin apart (and some believe, above) cPanel are the expansion of Webmin via modules, Usermin, and Virtualmin. Through Webmin modules, you can further expand Webmin's usage, and because Webmin is a free control panel, there are hundreds of 3rd party modules that others have created as well. Usermin and Virtualmin provide extended usability through webmail and domain hosting integration.
Easy Hosting Control Panel
Easy Hosting Control Panel (EHCP) is a web hosting control panel that is offered by a variety of hosting providers and available to you for free. Though EHCP is branded as the easiest option for web hosting, it does not include all the options that cPanel does. However, for a simple and effective solution, EHCP does work well for the following features: domain management, email management, FTP setup, subdomain management, MySQL and phpMyAdmin support, and one-click installations of Joomla, Forums, Drupal, b2evolution, Wordpress, and more.The only real downside to using EHCP is the lack of support on their website. However, because so many 3rd parties create modules for EHCP, other websites (as well as EHCP's forums) may be able to offer assistance to the most common issues.
GNUPanel
GNUPanel is a viable competitor for cPanel, with one minor difference: GNUPanel only works for the Debian OS. While Debian is a pretty popular Linux distro that runs on PHP5, you may need to double check with certain web hosting providers to ensure they can support it.However, despite this small shortcoming, GNUPanel can help you manage nearly everything you can through cPanel but without the cost. Through GNUPanel, you can manage your web hosting server, email, databases, FTP accounts, protect directories, park domains, accept online payments, and more. GNUPanel also comes with support for webmail, mailing lists, MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, and the Quanta web development environment. Essentially, it is one of the leading cPanel competitors because of its long list of features. However, like EHCP, the support is unfortunately lacking.
SysCP
Another big free competitor for cPanel, SysCP is unlike the others in that it provides a large and extensive knowledge base and how-to support system via its main website. Because SysCP works with nearly every Linux distro, your web hosting provider is very likely to support it as an installable control panel option instead of cPanel. Plus, like EHCP, SysCP offers many 3rd party modules, so there is always room for expansion.SysCP includes the following features, which are very similar to cPanel's offerings: reseller and customer administrative settings, email and FTP management, billing and ticketing systems, SaaS application installers, newsletter options, logging and error page management, support for SpamAssassin and webmail, and more.
Expert Insight
In reviewing your options for free alternatives to cPanel, always try the control panel's demo if they offer one. All of the free control panels mentioned here offer demo interfaces that you can instantly view and work in. That way, you can play around in the control panel and ensure it is both efficient and works for exactly what you need. Testing all the features and ensuring there is a good support community for the product are two of the most important things to consider when making your final choice.

Usermin and Virtualmin provide extended usability through webmail and domain hosting integration.
Easy Hosting Control Panel
Easy Hosting Control Panel (EHCP) is a web hosting control panel that is offered by a variety of hosting providers and available to you for free. Though EHCP is branded as the easiest option for web hosting, it does not include all the options that cPanel does. However, for a simple and effective solution, EHCP does work well for the following features: domain management, email management, FTP setup, subdomain management, MySQL and phpMyAdmin support, and one-click installations of Joomla, Forums, Drupal, b2evolution, Wordpress, and more.The only real downside to using EHCP is the lack of support on their website. However, because so many 3rd parties create modules for EHCP, other websites (as well as EHCP's forums) may be able to offer assistance to the most common issues.
GNUPanel
GNUPanel is a viable competitor for cPanel, with one minor difference: GNUPanel only works for the Debian OS. While Debian is a pretty popular Linux distro that runs on PHP5, you may need to double check with certain web hosting providers to ensure they can support it.However, despite this small shortcoming, GNUPanel can help you manage nearly everything you can through cPanel but without the cost. Through GNUPanel, you can manage your web hosting server, email, databases, FTP accounts, protect directories, park domains, accept online payments, and more. GNUPanel also comes with support for webmail, mailing lists, MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, and the Quanta web development environment. Essentially, it is one of the leading cPanel competitors because of its long list of features. However, like EHCP, the support is unfortunately lacking.
SysCP
Another big free competitor for cPanel, SysCP is unlike the others in that it provides a large and extensive knowledge base and how-to support system via its main website. Because SysCP works with nearly every Linux distro, your web hosting provider is very likely to support it as an installable control panel option instead of cPanel. Plus, like EHCP, SysCP offers many 3rd party modules, so there is always room for expansion.SysCP includes the following features, which are very similar to cPanel's offerings: reseller and customer administrative settings, email and FTP management, billing and ticketing systems, SaaS application installers, newsletter options, logging and error page management, support for SpamAssassin and webmail, and more.
Expert Insight
In reviewing your options for free alternatives to cPanel, always try the control panel's demo if they offer one. All of the free control panels mentioned here offer demo interfaces that you can instantly view and work in. That way, you can play around in the control panel and ensure it is both efficient and works for exactly what you need. Testing all the features and ensuring there is a good support community for the product are two of the most important things to consider when making your final choice.
