Here's an easy way to backup your web site's files and database
(worth thousands of dollars, no doubt) that costs $0 to learn

you now. (You could even write the commands I'm about to give
you on a cheatsheet.)

exclaim "STOP! How did you do that?" never make it into any

"Unmanaged dedicated servers" - this is a pretty uninviting term
to many, especially the non-gurus, but in most cases is not as
"non-servicing" as it seems. In fact, I think someone one day
soon, ( who knows maybe me ) will coin a new phrase to replace
the term "unmanaged" - similar to how "used cars" is now
"pre-owned" or how "apartment complexes" are now "rental
communities". The truth is that unless you just picked a lousy

is best, leasing a dedicated server or buying your own server
and co-locating it someone's data center?
Difference
For those that are unsure of the difference, here it is in a
nutshell. When you co-locate, you are simply renting space
