Day two of the DNC Convention is under way in Denver (lovely city! Shame about the Liberals though) and I have to wonder (as many outside the liberal mindset do) if the Dems should be feeling any buyer’s remorse yet or if that will set in after the close of the convention on Friday. Thousands of liberals will wake up Friday morning with that cheap wine hangover haze wondering what led them to sleep with the campus fatty.

Part of the problem stems from the fact that they’re pulling behind a virtual unknown in the realm of politics. Another issue may be the fact that his VP candidate has publicly said that Obama is not ready to be President. Then there’s the fact that as far as the two of them (Obama/Biden) go, there is little difference ideologically (they have almost identical views on everything) and there isn’t much for the moderate Democrat to stand behind.

Biden’s track record is proven and he’s fairly well liked inside the beltway. He knows his way around Washington politics and has even made a run a the office himself. He’s fairly well suited for the position. Obama on the other hand, may be little more then fancy rhetoric. Can anyone name *ANYTHING* productive that he has done during his tenure in the senate? ANYONE??

Having worked for a web hosting company for a while as a Systems Administrator (think fancy tech support) I kind of know my way around web servers. When it came time to find my own servers, I knew what I was looking for. A dedicated server, where I was responsible for everything except hitting the power button. Luckily I found what I was looking for and its been a good move. If I’m ever in a situation where I need the server rebooted, I just submit a ticket and generally its back up with in 15 minutes or so. The average webmaster may not be so lucky and truth be told its often hard to find the best web hosting when everyone and their mother seems to offer hosting.

Luckily, there’s a place you can turn to. I’ve talked briefly about Webhostrating.com before and after a more in depth visit to their site, I feel good recommending them to almost any one looking for information on hosts. Aside from having one of the best rating systems on the web for hosts, they’ve also got a good slew of informative articles for potential webmasters (and mistresses) that will help guide your selection process.

For example, maybe you want to put up a website for your daughter’s world of warcraft Guild (ok, lets be honest here, *YOUR* WoW guild). However, “mean-bitches-who-kill-everyone-and-eat-their-eyeballs.com” is not really a practical url. Why not? Well, I’ll let you figure that one out, but WHR’s article on Tips For Choosing A Domain will help you select one a little better for your guild your daughter’s guild.

It doesn’t stop there! You can create accounts and rate your hosts as well. All in all, Web Hosting Rating is a tool every webmaster should have bookmarked.
