Need A Free Web Host? We’ve Got The Hookup!
Nov 28th
A few years ago I came across a free web host provider, and have been using them ever since. Now, as some of you know, I have my own technology blog called Bauer-Power, and that is hosted on Blogger. I love Blogger because it’s easy and free. Plus it’s owned by Google, so that means that the servers that it’s running on are fairly rock solid. The problem with Blogger though is it’s not as versatile as other blogging platforms like WordPress.
For you guys looking to move over to WordPress like here at AskTheAdmin, you probably want to go with your own web host. What if you don’t have any cash yet? I mean it takes a few months for that Adsense revenue to kick in right? Well don’t fret, I have a solution for you. It’s a free webhost that supports PHP and MySQL. Guess what? That is exactly what WordPress runs on jack!
The provider is called 000Webhost, and here is a list of their free hosting features:
- 1500 MB of Disk Space, 100 GB Bandwidth
- Host your own domain
- cPanel Powered Hosting
- Over 500 website templates ready to download
- Easy to use website builder
- Free POP3 Email Box with Webmail access
- FTP and Web based File Manager
- PHP, MySQL, Perl, CGI, Ruby.
- And many more…
I personally use them for my custom Ninja themed URL shortening service, and I also set up a test WordPress blog so you can see what I’m talking about. You can have unlimited websites under your account as well, so if you want to be the next Internet mogul, you can get started on 000Webhost.
Know of any other free web hosting providers? Are they better than 000Webhost? Why? Share with the rest of the class in the comments!

Disclosure Notice: Although 000Webhost is free for you, I will get $5 per sign up as long as your account stays active for 30 days. A guy has to pay the bills doesn’t he?

What is an Admin to do in this bad weather? Geeky survival guide…
Jan 29th
If you find your self camping or stuck in some bad weather I have some geeky cheap gear for you to protect yourself and your gear. I can even have you lighting your stoggies in the rain. This all came about because I have been trooping through snow and ice with this winter wonderland that is New York. I have taken to protecting my gear and myself in case of any nasty incidents. I grabbed a awesome weatherproof case for my phone from Pelican, Some water proof matches and a handy little pack axe from Coghlans.
Scan your current memory config and get suggestions.

We have reviewed Crucial Memory in the past here when we gave away a 2gb memory module to one of our readers. So we were happy to plug them again when Jenny from San Fransisco wrote us asking:
Yo Admin can you tell me what kind of memory is in my PC without me having to open the case? I want to see how much it will cost to upgrade but don’t want to dive into it unless I am going to do it. Dig? I have busted up one too many machines in the past. But memory is a good way to speed up my p4 machine it has 256mb right?
Jenny Needs Memory
Jenny yes 256mb of memory is not enough for anything nowadays!
You should but that rig up to at least 1gb. Memory is cheap just go to this link and you will be able to scan your memory and get all sorts of useful facts and prices. And wait there’s more…
You will also be supporting AskTheAdmin by making any purchases via these links.
Why you might ask?
Well it is an affiliate program we have been experimenting with. You buy stuff you need and they give us a little bit o’ cheddar for referring you over to them. It gets expensive running a website where advertising revenue brings in next to nothing. But I love helping you weirdos!
Awww don’t blush! I have seen your temp files and browsing history pervo!
But back to the hard sell…
Crucial makes your life easier by telling you how much memory your system can max out at and what type it needs and best of all how much its going to cost ya! What are you waiting for speed up your machines today!
Memory being the price it is can be a GREAT ALTERNATIVE to buying a NEW MACHINE! Support us to take over the fricking world get us up on our own dedicated server/line…
Maybe we could hire some more quality writers to give you more great information if we had more than .37 in the AskTheAdmin bank account. So instead of me carrying her on my shoulders help out! How does that make you feel? (It makes me feel like a guy in the train going from car to car saying Ladies and Gentleman I don’t mean to interrupt…) Feelings… Death Threats… In the comments!

Prank Powder Decepti-Candy – Deviously delicious candy
Four tubes of colorful powder candy. Such pretty names, too, like Sweet Pixie Dust and Ultimate Unicorn Sprinkles. Completely harmless sounding so anyone will gladly eat them. Then they will learn the dark secret. First, the colors don’t match the flavors (red is lemonade, yellow is cherry, etc.). But that’s not all. One is super sour, one foams in your mouth, one stains your mouth a color, and one does all three. Why? Because candy is dandy and pranky is swanky. Oh, and they taste great too, so that part isn’t a prank (but it may stop folks from hitting you in revenge, so it’s good).

Software Giveaway: Audials One.
Jan 14th
Sure it has been a while since our last giveaway – and they all can’t be $1000+ computers right? Yes you should be kicking your self for not entering that! But I digress…
Today we are giving away a nifty commercial application that normally costs $60. It is called Audials One and it allows you to capture ANY audio that you can hear on your computer. You can rip songs from Blu Ray or DVD’s. It is billed as a professional media converter, organizer & player.
You can grab a track right from a audio stream. Audials One will save the track to a MP3 that you can then listen to offline, burn it to a cd or throw it on your iPod. The application also has a built in search feature to scour the Internet for specific audio bytes and to top it all off it doesn’t care one bit about DRM or any other SILLY copy protection scheme.
You can actually play a DRM’ed track on your machine and magically strip it off when you are saving it as a MP3 – you can learn more via their tutorials here.
As I said before we have 5 copies to give away so step right up and enter our contest all you need to do is leave a comment on this post as to why we should give it to you. Be funny, be witty and this might just be yours. The publisher also told me if we see a lot of comments and tweets we can up the number to 10 or maybe even 20. Let’s see how much you guys need this..
A comment will get you one entry, tweeting about the contest will get you 2 entries (tag it #AskTheAdmin) and blogging about the contest will get you 3 votes.
The contest will go for one week from today! So get your entries in, starting NOW!
