Web Site Optimization: Ignore Worthless Benchmarks

Posted by Jeff H. on September 29, 2011

So your site is slow? You search the web and find this great alternative web server or database software. You dig into the benchmarks and they show huge improvements.

Email Overload?  Try IMAP Folders

Posted by Jeff H. on June 24, 2011

Do you find taming your inbox challenging? I know I do. On some days, I receive 50 or more emails that require reading and/or a response. To keep up with the email volume, I've turned to using IMAP folders. IMAP folders are easy to use and are supported by both Plesk and cPanel powered servers. Here are some tips on using IMAP folders to help manage your email.
