    My first impression of the home page was that it's way too busy. The "Use Onista To" type information should be front and center followed by search for products. The social network…

    The problem with reseller hosting is that you have absolutely no technical control. You sell hosting to a bunch of people, and then if the server(s) crap out, you start fielding a …

    I just found internetsecure.com when I was looking for the same. Best I've found so far. Paypal makes me uneasy because they've already locked my account once "for suspected securi…

    Why not charge what you need/want instead of worrying what the market rate is? http://freelanceswitch.com/rates/ If you're charging too much, you'll find out soon. If you're chargi…

    "If we build a prototype or beta do we have enough for an investor to invest in our company/website?" Investors tend to invest in companies/people and less in ideas (unless the ide…

    The lesson learned (and I'm sorry if you had to read between the lines a bit) is that Techcrunch and the other major outlets aren't the only course for marketing your product. I co…

    Hey Sam, Vancouver's pretty pricey too. You may want to check out Vancouver island/Victoria instead. Either way, there's plenty to see & do, and really, they're only an hour apart …

    It might sound a little slimy (but no worse than what this developer has pulled on you), but you've given her a 35% stake in THE COMPANY, not the product, no? You could always shut…

    I didn't say that Facebook has failed, I said Facebook has failed us. There's a huge difference between the two statements. I would imagine that the average reader of Hacker News u…
