If you want to develop a website for your business, you will come across the decision expressed in the title of this article. There are advantages and disadvantages to each option that we will review in this article.   Publishing a website Publishing a website on the Internet has three main stages: its development, hosting and maintenance over time. The first phase comprises the entire programming and organization of website content. In addition, its design, color choice and graphic appearance are part of this phase as well. Hosting includes server and domain configuration tasks so that the website is hosted (stored) on a server on the Internet. This way it is published and therefore accessible to anyone entering your address in the browser. Finally, the maintenance phase is about the updates that will be needed over time to keep the website up to date. Additionally, updating the platforms / programming languages ​​involved may also be a necessity to correct any bugs or security flaws encountered.   Web hosting In order to host your website on the Internet you need a server. A server is no more than a high-capacity computer system with websites stored that are permanently available on the Internet. One of the options you face when consulting the pricing and conditions of a company providing this service is choosing between dedicated and shared hosting. Dedicated hosting is a server that only keeps your website hosted. Thus all hardware is for your exclusive use. Usually this situation translates into better website performance, namely faster loading, as well as the possibility of more concurrent visitors simultaneously. On the other hand, shared hosting refers to a server that is shared by multiple clients / websites. That is, your website shares resources with other websites. In this case a longer load time is expected and the number of simultaneous accesses is more limited. Given the above, you typically opt for dedicated hosting when a website has high expected traffic. For example, if you are developing a news site for the general public, it might be wise to choose a dedicated hosting. Due to the generic nature of the website, it can be accessed by a large number of people. By contrast, if you are developing an institutional site with expected low traffic, you should opt for shared hosting. The choice you make will impact the costs involved. As you would expect, dedicated hosting  is much more expensive than shared hosting. According to the expected traffic of the website, you can choose which one is the most appropriate, considering that for low traffic websites it will not be worth significantly increasing costs.   Conclusion To host your website you will be faced with the choice of dedicated or shared hosting. The main difference between both is the performance and concurrent access capability it supports. In dedicated hosting you have hardware for your website only, which is not shared with anyone else. On the other hand, in shared hosting, this is divided by several websites. Thus, in the second case, your website's performance is expected to be lower than in the first situation.

Facebook is today a global social network. Visited daily by millions of people around the world, this social network can be a great partner when it comes to promoting your business. In this article we explain how.   Audience Targeting The importance of your company being on Facebook is unquestionable today. However there are more benefits beyond this simple presence. One of the great advantages of Facebook advertising is that it can target your audience. This means you can choose the profile of people you'd like to show your advertising to. Hundreds of criteria are available, such as age, place of residence, educational background and interests. For example, you might choose to show your ad only to 30- to 40-year-old male college graduates interested in motorsports. By combining multiple criteria you can very precisely filter the audience you want to reach.   Advertising Price In fact, there is no pre-set fixed price for advertising on Facebook. This is entirely flexible and proportional to the number of people you want to reach. So you can adjust the amount you want to spend knowing that it will have a direct impact on the number of Facebook users who will see your ad. This value is usually set per day. That is, you can choose, for example, to spend 5 € per day for 7 days. So your campaign total value will be $ 35 and your advertising will reach a certain number of users. This forecast of the number of users will be shown at the time your campaign is activated, so you can get a sense of what the value you are willing to invest allows.   Advertising Formats Facebook advertising can take many formats that are suited for different purposes. A potential goal may be to promote a particular specific product. For example, supposing you have an online store that sells tech products you might want to develop a promotion on one of those specific products. Thus, you can build a post with some product images, description and key features of the product and a link for interested people to make a purchase. Another possible interest for a Facebook promotion could be to make your business known a to a group of users who might be interested. In this case it will make sense to write a post with a succinct presentation and some photos. These two examples are just two cases of the wide range of advertising possibilities that exist on Facebook. A crosscutting precaution you must take to make your campaign successful is to include little text in your post. It is well studied by marketers that the amount of text on a social network is inversely proportional to the number of users who react to it. That is, the fewer words you can use, the better!   Conclusion The advertising tool on Facebook could be an important ally of your business. The ability to specify the target audience and the flexible nature of the costs involved are two major advantages. You should always be aware that you should include as little text as possible in every advertisement, as it increases the chances of users interacting with your post.

The advancement of technology has improved the lives of businesses in many areas. In this article we will cover how this may be the key to optimize processes and make your business more profitable.   Custom Software Custom software development consists of programming tools that respond to a specific business need. These solutions are thus programmed from scratch, taking into account certain assumptions and adapted to the reality of a particular company. The advantage of this approach is that the software is fully customized so that it can better address the problems of the company in question. As opposed to already developed generic software that may not be entirely suitable for the circumstances of a particular company.   Optimize processes Optimizing a company's procedures often involves reducing its dependence on the human factor. Any activities that can be automated in any way through computer systems are possible optimization points and can contribute to the success of your business. Through this it is possible to free up one or more human resources which may thus be involved in other areas of the company, adding more value. In addition to this advantage there may also be a decrease in the mistakes made, normal in all processes where a Human Being is directly involved. Emotional states, tiredness, overconfidence, distraction, are examples of states that can inadvertently lead to errors. A computer system, for its part, is not affected by these factors, thus making it possible to minimize errors made during the processes. Even failing to reduce the human factor, in certain processes can be possible to increase their speed through computer solutions. With this speed you can free up at least some of the time of human resources that can be invested in another area of ​​value to the company.   Role of custom software Custom software can play a key role in the process optimization task at your company. The fact that it is developed from scratch, entirely tailored to the customer, allows maximum efficiency when used in the company's processes. For example, an online store will have to deal with supplier orders, customer orders, customer deliveries and stock management. All of these tasks can be optimized to be as automated as possible. When a product is out of stock it may be automatically unavailable in the online store. In contrast, when more stock arrives, it can become available automatically. When a product is very popular and nearing the end of its stock, an alert may be sent to order it. All of the above ideas are examples of everyday business processes that can be automated through the use of custom software. The Web House is an example of a company providing custom software development service. Make a contact to get a quote.   Conclusion Tailor-made software development is one way to optimize your business processes. Whether by automating tasks that can free up human resources or by increasing the speed with which they are performed, this optimization can bring immediate benefits to the business.

During the summer period, many business areas see their sells decline. As a result of the fact that many people are on vacation, many companies also register a decrease in their employees. However, not all areas of business are like this. If you are looking for a summer business to diversify your sources of income, this article is for you.   Business decrease The fact that many people are on holiday and even abroad means that there is a drop in demand for products and services in various business areas. This is particularly relevant for those who sell products directly to the public. On the other hand, for companies that provide services to other companies, the decrease in business is also a reality in various sectors of activity. Due to the fact that most company employees are also absent, particularly managers with decision-making power, often closing business decisions are delayed.   Increased Summer Turnover Despite the above there are business areas that tend to have their best period, in terms of turnover, in the summer months. Examples are the catering and hotel sectors in bathing areas. These areas see an increase in the flow of people coming to them in the summer, so an increase in demand for catering and accommodation is expected. Within the accommodation sector the local housing can be a great way to earn an extra income in the summer months for those who have another activity during the year. In this case the internet promotion of the accommodation and a good image on the web are the decisive factors to succeed. Business sectors associated with events such as weddings and baptisms also know the best time of year in the summer. Often organized outdoors, the fact that weather offers days of clear skies and warmth is often preferred by people over other times of the year. This business sector includes the area of venue rental for such events. Here may be another business opportunity for those who have another occupation during the year, but would like to create additional income in the summer months. Investing in a space that can be rented for events is therefore a viable option as long as it is not far from the main cities and be able to accommodate a large number of people. The best way to promote this type of business might be to develop a website with all the information about the space, as well as photos.   Conclusion Although many business areas have a decrease in turnover during the summer months, there are sectors of activity whose trend is reversed. The areas of catering and accommodation in areas sought after for vacation are examples of this. With the movement of people to these areas, there is an increase in demand in these business areas. Local accommodation thus constitutes an alternative source of income for the summer months. If your business declines at this time of year, operating a local accommodation could create an extra flow of capital. In another business area we also suggest in this article the exploration of a space for events. The business areas associated with the organization of events also tend to register their highest demand in summer.

We are in August, a month usually spent by many people for holidays. At this time of year many Portuguese are thus absent from their usual residence. Also at this time of year house robberies usually increase taking advantage of the absence of homeowners. In this article we will analyze a technological solution that allows you to keep an eye on your property remotely.   Surveillance cameras There are IP cameras on the market today that connect to the Internet and allow you to see, in real time, what is happening in your home. These cameras usually work in conjunction with a smartphone application. Through the application you can connect to the camera at any time and view the live stream. In addition to being able to view images in real time, many of these cameras also have motion alert functionality. This means that when motion is detected on the camera, it will send a warning to the user. This warning can be via email, SMS or via mobile application. This way you do not need to be constantly checking to see if everything is ok, since if there is any abnormality, particularly any movement in your home, you will be alerted. When motion is detected, the camera itself starts recording images. This recording can occur to a memory card inserted in the camera locally or to the cloud. The second solution adds additional security by preventing the intruder from destroying or stealing locally recorded images.   Additional Features In addition to the features described above, some models in a higher range offer other useful functions. An example of this is night vision. Through infrared LEDs, cameras with this function can reproduce a very reasonable image in complete darkness. This allows you not only during the day but also at night to be able to see what's going on in your home as well as more accurately detect movement. Another example of additional functionality that some cameras have is sound recording and detection. Thus, in addition to motion detection, the sound of a window glass break, for example, will immediately send an alert to you.   Cost of an IP Camera The cost of a surveillance camera with the above features may vary with some technical specifications. For example, camera definition and additional features can differentiate the price of cameras. However we can talk about an average range of 50 € to 200 €. At the bottom of the range are cameras with more basic features and a lower image definition. In the upper spectrum of this range there will be the cameras with superior technical features like better definition and additional features like night vision.   Conclusion If you're going on holiday, there are affordable surveillance cameras on the market that, together with a smartphone app, let you keep your eye on your home. These devices also have a motion alert if motion is detected in your field of view.
