According to the news we just received, Google has acquire the Motorola’s mobile division with the price of $40 per share and total $ 12.5 billion, however, it is a win-win situation for both of them.
Why Google acquire the Motorola mobility ?
First, the problems of patent have become a bottleneck for the further development of the Android system. On the one hand, HTC, Samsung and other manufacturers have to pay Microsoft a huge amount of patent fees, which makes Android phone have higher productive costs, and also to some extent, prevent the other OEM manufacturers to use the Android system. On the other hand, Google owns smaller number of patents compared with Apple, Microsoft, RIM’s, but once the acquisition of Motorola’s mobile unit, Google can own about 706 patents, which will enhance its competition ability.
Secondly, the acquisition has a quite positive impact for Motorola. Because at this stage the vast majority of energy on Motorola Android phone production and after combines with Google, it can focus on making great phones with higher performance under the support of Google.
Third, when it comes to the mobile market nowadays, the leading companies are all the manufacturers that concentrate on one aspects and make it best. For instance, the Apple owns the iOS, BlackBerry specializing in their own RIM system. So if Motorola wants to win out in the competitive market, it must define its own unique way, which is the only way to beat Apple and other manufacturers down.
All in all, it is a beneficial move for both Google and Motorola that Google acquire the mobility of Motorola. In fact, we may make some more open ideas that Google make a acquisition of Motorola today, and Microsoft may even buy the Nokia some day. The further development of the mobile phone market is likely to have a trend of fusion and sublimation, and the survivor who will won this battle must be the one who have a strong determination, great hardware and soft ware support, and the most important is that it has its own special advantage.
After choosing a good domain name, the next step of our tutorial is to choose a good hosting for your blog. For these beginners of wordpress blog, the virtual host or VPS host can be the first choice. And it is important to choose a good host, because it directly affects your website, then we also have some tips for you:
1. Never choose the free or low-cost hosting provider
Though some hosting provider may offer you some free hosts, but we strongly suggest you not choose them. Because they generally put some advertise on your blog and they have poor back-sale services. If the hosting sells for only 1.99 dollars, it is definitely not a good choice. And the reliable hosting price is at least 7 dollars a month.
2. Choose a Linux hosting
When it comes to the hosting, you will find that you have two choices: Windows hosting and Linux hosting. Pay attention, this is different from your PC operating system. Linux is better than the windows in the hosting system, because they are safer and offers more powerful functions.
3. Choose a good dashboard.
These people who are familiar with the web hosting market must have heard of the cPanel, it is the best and most powerful hosting system in the world. It is not only easy to use but also have more function, which makes it is convenient for you to back up and restore your website.
HostGator.com is a excellent hosting server which always delivers reliable and fast hosting, and it is not expensive with the price of $6.95/mo.
If you still do not have a domain name, you can register one through the Godaddy.com. Of course, the hosting of godaddy.com is an excellent choice, and, in fact, my website choose to use the hosting service of godaddy.com
If you are a beginner of WordPress, this tutorial is suitable for you. In this series of tutorials, I will tell you how to choose a better domain name, how to select a good host, how to install the WordPress, how to choose the WordPress theme step by step, until you can manage to build a great Worpress blog or website by yourself.
Establish a basic WordPress blog, it is not necessary for you to learn the website technique, and all the sources or tools mentioned in this passage are free. Thus, the only thing will cost your money is only the domain and host.
The first step of establish a WordPress blog is to choose a good domain name, the domain name is the unique address of your blog, just like the address of your home, for example, the google.com, aol.com, cnn.com.
What is a good domain name?
If you do not know how to choose a good domain, I have five principles for reference.
1. A good domain name is short. The shorter, the better. The length of your domain should be within 5 letters/numbers, just like the CNN.com or Google.com. Of course there are some exceptions, for example, howtodotings.com, topreviewonline.com, howtomakeawebsite.net and so on.
2. A good domain name is easy to spell and remember. If not, you will loss readers easily, and remember that avoiding the intricate words, like the CappuccinoBar.com which is not user friendly to readers. If you choose a good domain name, it is easier for readers to type it in the explorer.
3. A good domain name is relative to the subject of your blog. Because a lot of people love to type the domain name directly to surf your website, and if your domain name can reflect the subject of your blog, people can remember it and surf it easier.
4. A good domain name has a top domain suffix like .com, .net or .org. When you are purchasing the domain name, you have a plenty of suffixes to choose. However, three suffixes are the first choice come into mind. The first one is .com which is also the most popular top suffix nowadays. If you can not find the domain has the .com suffix, then consider the .net or .org. Never choose the suffix like .biz, .info or .me, because most of the rubbish sites utilize these suffixes.
5. A good domain name should not has the hyphen (-) or numbers to the greatest extent. Some people like to use some numbers or hyphen in their domain name, because it is easy to find the shorter domain. Avoiding doing this, because it is easy to mislead your readers and make them type the wrong domain name.
If you think it is complicated for you to choose domain names like that, now I introduce a simple method: list the keywords of your blog, and then put the prefix, (e.g., super, mega, quick, top, hot) or postfix (e.g., central, spot, corner, zone). For example, if the subject of your blog is car, then the relative subject can be automobile, motor and so on. So you can find the domain name like supermotor.com, easymotor.com, greatatuomobile.com.
Check whether the domain name is available.
According to the principles above, I do believe that you have found the best domain name for your blog. Now let me tell you how to check if the domain name is available. You can use the whois tools like AjaxWhois.com, the only thing you should do is to import the relative domain name and then it will display the condition of it. You will know whether it has been register or not.
Some other tools for you to check your domain name and know more things about it.
- Nameboy.com, it can give you many suggestions for your domain name according to the keywords of your blog.
- Bustaname.com, if you import a series of keywords, this site will sort some good domains that have not been register by other people.
- DomainsBot.com, the search engine for a domain。
How to purchase a good domain name?
After you have find the suitable domain name, the following step is purchase it. I suggest buying the domain name on the goddaddy.com, it is convenient and cheap, and all of my domains are registered on godaddy.com, including this topreviewonline.com.
