Divx is commercial codec. And though being commercial it makes decoder available for the public use. This is to allow media players to give playback option to the divx files. Divx encoder is commercial product. And if you want to encode files in divx format, you've to purchase the product.Xvid is free and is available in GPL license. Xvid allows both encoding and decoding of the file for free. You can make use of it for commercial as well as for free projects. As xvid is free and opensource. Files with xvid encoding can be played by players that supports divx codec. Also one thing to add here is, almost every media player these days support both these formats. Some may require you to download the codec and use it for playback.

Let's not generalize and put entire tag of spamming on "Nigerians". If we've to look at the spam trend we can see that. Most of the forum spam that comes from Russia. All those links to the porn site and viagra ads on dead forums is from russia. "Get-rich-quick-quick" and "SEO" ads based SPAM comes from canada and pakistan. Some pakistani spam even send ads of anti-virus and anti-malware. If you check the "Downline" and "earn money from home" type of scams then you'll see that is from india. And mix of all these spam is also from US. So at the end, let's not tag any single country for SPAM mail and postings. SPAMmer are universal, even on Xisto too. :PBut seriously, i'm turn off with the scam mails like " x person is wife of y person and wants to transfer huge amount of money". Or "You've won this much money in uk lottery and you need to send x amount to receive your funds". There are even worst cases, some SEO companies are sending mails by checking whois and sending ads to lure domain owners to get SEO advice from them. Seriously, spammers get a life. Think differently, come up with something new.

Yes, there is got to be in their TOS. I didn't accessed that account much. And there was no money in account. But one my advertiser on my homepage wanted me to pay via stormpay account, so i opened it. And after sometime, advertiser unable to make deal for banner on my site. So there was no chance of money getting into stormpay. All i did is created a stormpay account. And after year or so i found my account getting deleted. Also after 6-months so when i tried to sign-up again. It wasn't letting me signup to system. It was giving me message like "contact support team on order to sign up on stormpay". I thought it was something like their system downtime. But it wasn't,one of my friend opened account successfully. I don't know if his account even existed or not due to inactivity. For me,there is no need to sign-up again to stormpay now. But i don't know if that system let's me re-sign up again to the service. I think they've policy of deleting inactive accounts.

You can upgrade to higher plan at any time. I guess your plan price will be adjusted depending on the months/days left of your previous plan. Logic basic plan is upgradable beyond 1GBspace. Bandwidth is also upgradable beyond 10GB. Extra bandwidth costs about 3-4$ per month per GB(Not sure about exact pricing). Also individual add-ons to hosting plan are available as well. You don't have to wait for previous plan to expire in order to upgrade or to add extra add-ons.

Absolutely wrong. I don't want to defend bukisa. But bukisa is content publisher and bux.to is PTC based site. And who told you that bukisa pays to view ads ? Both are different and you're wrong with your observation. For starters, you can type "bukisa" on google and check the site. And bukisa pays in multiple ways, 10$, 25$, 50$ etc. I think you made this comment without taking any look at the bukisa site.

I've to agree with willie. Google started as search engine then evolved into complete internet development company. They're into internet & offline advertising as well. They encourage opensource development and are in process of creating their own operating system. Besides that they launched many free products. How they managed all this ? From advertising money, obviously. On internet you've to either sell your own product or have to earn money from advertising. And google is earning from both ways. What's wrong with advertising ? They need to make money to survive and pay their developers, publishers and to investors. Besides in early days they did publicity from word of mouth, but times change. So they've to advertise their products and also have to show ads on their results to survive.

I just signed up with bukisa. It is similar to site helium. Only thing is that helium is no longer available for countries other than US/Canada and some European countries. Bukisa also pays for pay per view of the content. They have many categories on which you can write. Other than articles you can submit videos. You can even embed videos to your articles on bukisa. Audio podcast or audio content which YOU own is also acceptable on bukisa. For each view you'll earn some cents. For 1000 views you earn dollar(again this depends on keyword and bukisa index). Key here is you need more referrals and visitors to your article. Else you'll not able to earn much from system like this. In this case, i want to know how to drive traffic to individual pages. One thing you can do here is make more friends on network and comment on each others web page. But i don't know if it works with all. I just managed to get 5 views to my articles. Not that much i know. Any suggestion for traffic generation for bukisa content ?

Which CMS is better ? I think this is purely subjective topic. And you'll get different answers from different people. Some people will recommend based on popularity. Some will recommend based on theme and extensions/plugins availability. But it all depends on individual view. We all have different needs and CMS needs to chosen depending on your needs. Choose CMS which suits your comfort. Sometimes all we want is simple posting capability and spam protection, designs etc. In that case, choose cms based on ease of use and availability of your needs. Don't choose cms cause you saw some good themes of it on other sites. Choose based on how much you're comfortable with it. To find good CMS for yourself, you've to experiment with some CMS. Wordpress- wordpress CMS is perfect for bloggin needs. If you want to start with blogging and article posting. Then this is good cms. It has lot's of plugins and themes. You'll find it simple and powerful. Drupal- This is more of advanced and comes up with lots of plugins and themes. Not suitable for newcomers to CMS. It has steep learning curve. It takes some time for you to be comfortable with it. But in fact it is more feature packed CMS than anything else in market. Joomla- Like drupal, it is also powerful with features. Lot's of themes and forum integration available. And most of the hosting providers do support this script in fantastico or scriptaculous. If you don't want to use drupal for complexity then choose joomla. It is bit easier than drupal. There are few more that i would like to mention like textpatter, movable type and mephisto. Expression web is also cool CMS, check the demo on their site. You can try all the top suggest CMS for yourself and then decide.

Auto-renew option is there in the "Portal Home > Client Area > My Domains" Also there is renewal option for hosting you'll get manual reminder from the staff. I didn't find any option for auto-renewal on Xisto - Support billing page. I guess adding funds or current mycents in your account should be enough to autorenew your account. Even i've query that "Adding funds" works for auto-renewal of hosting & domain ? Or do we've to prepay for our hosting packages in advance so that when renewal date comes we don't have to rush and manually pay using mycents. I think if you've enough mycents then pre-paying for hosting/domain in advance should work.

Looks like utorrent have lot of users. Yes, even i use utorrent. I think small and portability of client is the reason people using it. It is small as 800-900kb. It's pretty good on showing details as well. It shows trackers, transferred bytes, country flag of the seeders etc. Good with the details i must say. Earlier i used Vuze, it was good too. But most of the times it crashed my system. I guess it was eating lot of memory of my system. I heard that now p2p sharing applications like edonkey, limewire are also starting to support torrrent files ? I'm not gonna revert back to limewire or any other p2p client, it brings so many virus files to my disk earlier. So sticking with Utorrent.

Paypal works fine for me. Nothing much of hassles while using it so far. Only thing is that they cut lot of in terms of taxes. If your payment is of about 10$ then ask for client to pay for 11-12 $. Why ? sometimes they take away 0.2%-1% of your earning. I didn't found any exchange rates for this but they do deduct money when you receive it. There is also new payment processing service called alertpay. Which have decent cut-out rates in comparison to stormpay and alertpay. But i didn't used it to purchase anything as i've no idea from where to use alertpay money. Their shops/supported sites list is not on their homepage. Stormpay and worldpay are good but didn't work with me. Stormpay deleted my account cause there was no transaction on accounts. Weird ? yeah. And imagine i'm keeping paypal account that too unverified for more than 5 years. I just verified it last week. I don't why other payment processing companies remove your account cause of inactivity or no-transaction. I'll stick with paypal for not enforcing such policies.

As per article on ghacks, there are not much changes with the new version of chrome. As per google chrome's development changes list, only 16 are so far listed. Check it here. I was expecting features like download manager, skin support. Also extension will be much appreciated. That way more developers will develop for chrome just like they build for firefox and opera. It's not release for the crowd yet. I didn't seen any news about this and much reviews as if it's final release. So i'll save myself one download. If it gets released with final version, then i'll be using portable version of chrome. Version 2 worked for me somehow, except with some crashing during spellcheck. Otherwise it went very well.

Offer is nice. And for 30$ this is just blasting offer. My question is : this offer is available for US only ? Or is it for other countries as well ? I'm asking this cause i've seen few offers which can be redeemed only in US. Anyway, nice offer. If anyone got 30$ to spare then they can get this big bunch of goodies.

Thanks for reply spencer. "Mycents" money is allowed in "Add funds" section. That is why i created this thread. I want to know if i can add mycents money in "Add funds" section, so that auto-renewal takes it whenever required. Yes, i have to confirm it with Mods and Admins.

So you want to buy reseller hosting ? Great, you can find more information about reseller packages from this page. You can even purchase reseller hosting package provided that you pay the yearly or monthly fee. Some interesting plan you can try at start is : 1. Reseller AR - $18.95 / mo. - FREE SETUP! - 4.5 GB Space, 54 GB Bandwidth This plan costs 228$/year. And this is the first plan in the reseller category. If you're interested in starting small hosting company this is for you. There are two other packages like : Reseller BR - $33.33 / mo. - FREE SETUP! - 10 GB Space 100 GB Bandwidth and Reseller CR - $72.99 / mo. - FREE SETUP! - 20 GB Space 250 GB Bandwidth But as of now, looks costly. And if you're just starting then Reseller AR is perfect plan to start with.

Not a bad deal. But how they're going to earn ? Besides keeping videos on youtube will increase more leechers to music. Many people copy HD videos from youtube and remove music out of it. Then save and distribute it in mp3/mp4 format. Latest music video addition on video could increase such piracy. And another take on this is that if such piracy is not possible. Then there will not be much traffic on youtube as well. I think they'll get more advertisers. Advertisers is the only way to generate revenue. If they failed to generate revenue then warner will definitely back out. Google knows how to make money from advertisers it's not that easy for warner.

Yes. They do provide multiple service and there is nothing free unless you pay for any package. Also some features are available for higher cost packages only. For example, editor analysis and premium cover etc. You can check some more here. One have to pay additional costs for lulu.com editor's analysis. For that check here. Where did i mentioned that ? I just cleared things in this post. Also lulu.com is not a free service. They don't start publishing ebook and hardcover book publishing without any payment. You've to pay for their base packages to begin with. Rest of the other add-ons services(free or non-free) comes later. Already answered above. You're asking for the same thing with these two questions, and making things look confusing which are not at first place. I don't get it why you stretch post un-necessarily with such off-topic/un-related points. At the end, answer for your both question is : You've to pay for base packages initially (how they get their money out of the packages is their problem).

I never heard of this news. From where you read this ? Any news site ? or wikipedia's official announcement ? If so, please link to that respective article. This way it'll be easy to confirm the news. Which looks suspicious cause if this is declared by wikipedia. It would have hit most of the news sites online. Which i doubt is released, so i'm asking for links. If the news as you say is true. Then standard of wikipedia will be improved. Currently it is edited by almost anyone and it's standard and credibility is under question. People don't take wikipedia for granted when they make research and analysis reports. Also Wikipedia's references are somewhat questionable. Some referal sites and commercial articles are also under question. If wikipedia does apply such policy then surely it's standard will improve.

There is a field in Xisto - Support billng for “add funds”. Now that “add funds” feature accepts funds from multiple payment methods. It also accepts Mycents as well. Now that i’ve earned mycents for my next years hosting plan and domain. Can i add it to funds? I mean i might have to go offline after few months and may not be able to be active on forums. So in such case payment method automatically deducts mycents from funds ? or Do i have to do that manually for every renewal ?

So what's the confusion ? Where in lulu.com's site they mentioned that they do things for free ? and where did i mentioned their prices & editors which makes such confusion? and you didn't mentioned what is your confusion.You just made big post explaining something else other than your confusion. Please be specific with your posts instead of stretching it un-necessarily.

Thanks spencer. This video helps me to find out where to modify things. I was looking for this option and was unsure about where to place the domain. Your last paragraph explained it in exactly the way i wanted. I asked this question cause i used Dreamhost control panel and the process of hosting multiple domains on their control panel. They don't have Cpanel like CH/Xisto. But there you've to just add hosting to domain when you add it. After adding hosting you get file manager and script installer which is common for all domains. You've to just select respective domain when you want to access file manager. Script installer lets choose which domain to install the script. They do't have scripts as much as what we have on Xisto - Web Hosting. But their's was simple panel to work with yet too much confusing. So after coming from that panel to here, i got confused on how to add-domain. As we have two options like parked and add-on domain. So i didn't get the difference. Thanks for clearing this difference and for the video. Solves my problem.

It is quite possible to have self-publishing the way you think. But some things you've to take in mind are volume of books, finance and graphics. When you've large volume of copies to print (in case of self-publishing you'll only print if it's in demand) you've to do some outsourcing part. If you want to do that stuff by outsourcing then lot of your work becomes easy. Also for graphics part, you've to find someone or if you can do that then no problem there. But it's better to outsource it if you are stuck with the design. I think doing all things by ourselves could make us exhaustive. But still you can do all things by yourself, but you'll end up doing too many things by yourself. And you've to look at how those stuff goes. If you complete atleast one project that way successfully, i think you'll be comfortable in next one. Writers weekly forum maybe help for you in case of self-publishing. Check them out.

Is it good idea to host multiple domains with single hosting plan ?. To clear on this, multiple domains will host some basic sites with limited pages whose data will max reach 200mb and not more. I’ve purchased logic plan and i’m in process of buying more domains. But i’m unsure about this. So my question is :is it possible to host multiple domains on single hosting plan(logic basic) ? How to park domain we purchased from xistodomains to our hosting plan ? Any help with procedure to host multiple domains on cpanel ?

Before i answer your question, some of my observation with self-publishing are as follows.Getting good deal from publisher is almost impossible in most cases. What i've seen so far by observing writers and blogger is they build safety net around them before proceeding to deal and screening. Most of the blogger and writers build good blog and community around themselves. More and more people starts to trust their advice. It becomes easier for them to get deal from publishers. Bloggers with successful blog definitely fetches some deal. And i've seen many bloggers and writers create some good content that they can distribute for free and get readers and visitors to blog and their articles. Creating ebooks and offering them for free initially helps to build a brand. You can use self-publishing sites like lulu and many others which also help with promotion as well. Self-publishing helps those who are good at social media skills and have good contacts. For example, there are some writers in social media circle who sells books just from their contacts and promotion from their blog. I've even seen this with sitepoint authors. They didn't started from the tops to sell their ebooks. and their ebooks will hardly sell if they approach mcgrahill,oreilly. But on sitepoint promotion and from writing they got more readers and sales. But self-publishing is not suitable for all types of writing. Especially, it is not good for fiction books. For lulu.com, have reasonable price for publication. Also depends upon how you choose graphics and some other format selection,number of copies etc. Price varies from publisher to publisher. Some companies that are worth to try other than lulu are booksurge,outskirtpress, author house. And cost varies for each publisher.

As i've guessed it, they mixed multiple products into one. Their anti-malware and anti-virus product is mixed into single product. They mixed some of the products they intended to ship with onecare product line. As of now MSE is free to download. But i expect future versions will be paid or will be mixed with options like pro, enterprise etc. If not then i don't see how they'll benefit from MSE. Also MSE did performed very well in most of the security tests. Other anti-virus companies started to talk against MSE. But it's all market competition, they were meant to enter to into this someday. It's just that they have to make it optional download. Otherwise they'll get into monopoly issue once again.
