What is RSS or a RSS site feed?

Sat, 29 Mar 2008 16:29:00 GMT

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts. An RSS document (which is called a "feed" or "web feed"�or "channel") contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with web sites in an automated manner that can be piped into special programs or filtered displays.

RSS content can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader" or an "aggregator". The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds. Webmasters also subscribe to RSS feeds and publish feed�content on their websites to add value and content to their website.

Most modern internet browsers such as Internet Explorer 7, Firefox and Safari�have built in RSS readers while older and obsolete browsers such as Internet Explorer 6 and Netscape browsers do not support RSS formats. Users with older browsers must install third party Feed Readers in order to enjoy the benefits of RSS.

The initials "RSS" are used to refer to the following formats:

Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)
RDF Site Summary (RSS 1.0 and RSS 0.90)
Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91).

RSS formats are specified using XML, a generic specification for the creation of data formats. Although RSS formats have evolved since March 1999, the RSS icon ("") first gained widespread use in 2005/2006.

What is Web Hosting?

Web Hosting (also known as Web site hosting or Web hosting) is the business of housing, serving, and maintaining files for one or more Web sites. In a sense, you rent space on a computer to hold your Web site. Your host, the computer where your Web site files are stored, assigns an address (IP) for your files to your domain name so that anyone can find your Web site on the Internet by typing in your domain name.

How much does it cost to get a new website?

Fri, 28 Dec 2007 16:45:00 GMT

Websites can cost anywhere from $5.00 a month to several hundred thousand dollars. The cost really depends on several factors that we have outlined below.

Complexity: The complexity of a website is a major factor in figuring out the price for a website. E-commerce, Flash Animations, Database Driven Applications, Custom Artwork, Logo Design, Content Copy-writing, and any other custom feature will be factored in when creating a price quote.
Size of the website: The size of your website will also play a role in the pricing of any project. The size of your website may depend on the amount of pages that you are requesting.
Purpose of the website: Another major factor in the pricing of any project is to determine the target audience of your site and the amount of traffic that is expected of it.
