What is Bandwidth?
“Bandwidth” – A term used by web hosting companies, and Internet Service Providers, to describe how much data (information) can pass from the server your website is hosted on to people visiting your web site. This includes the files (images, documents, programming files) that make up your website as well as any data downloaded from databases or media files ie. video, audio etc….
If you have a small basic website, bandwidth this will not be an issue.
If you have a full database eCommerce driven website, or you have, or will be, running an e-marketing campaign, you will need a lot of bandwidth to cope with incoming visitors to your web site.
If your bandwidth is too small, your website will crash. Always check your website statistics to see the website activity and how much bandwidth is being used.

Bring Down Microsoft Internet Explorer 6
As many web designers and developers our there are aware, Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 is now becoming a thorn to the future developments of the web.
Public sector insists on keeping IE6 instead of upgrading to IE8, as IE6 is seen to be more secure and stable; which is actually incorrect.
IE6 has probably more holes than you think as Microsoft no longer support this version.
This isn’t about being anti-Microsoft, it’s about making sure that we encourage people to move to modern browsers such as IE8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari or Opera.
Help spread the word and raise your business awareness.

DVD and USB high-end security protection
One of the East Midland’s leading new technology businesses is capitalising on a world’s first by enabling companies, organisations and individuals to protect their digital content beyond the basic username and password protection.
