微软(Microsoft)和雅虎(Yahoo)联姻

zhengyongmw — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 08:02:22 +0000

微软(Microsoft)欲以62％的溢出价每股31美元、共计446亿美元收购雅虎(Yahoo)，成为目前互联网的最大新闻。微软希望和雅虎联姻，以搜索市场的第2、3名的强强联合来对抗甚至打败搜索市场的老大谷歌（Google）。微软和雅虎联姻会实现微软的如意算盘吗？答案多半是否定的，为什么呢？有3点理由。

1. 微软和雅虎，在许多方面都是很相似的，包括搜索、即时通讯、地图、邮箱等，没有形成很强的互补关系，而是双方重叠的部分很多（见下面的列表），这样兼并后两个公司业务整合的工作量很大，需要很长的时间（一年到两年的时间），这期间业务自然受影响。其结果，反而会让竞争对手Google趁此机会有更快的发展，拉大他们之间的差距。

2. 在互联网，人们的习惯势力是非常大的，不容易改变，大家对Google、Apple情有独钟，对微软的霸气存在一定的心里暗示或抵触情绪（这里有一个例子：美国网民恶搞微软收购雅虎(组图) ），这对微软是不利的。IT时代特征“30年河东、30年河西”比较明显，在某个旧领域称雄的公司，很难在新的领域称雄。例如，微软在数据库上一直想打翻身仗，但始终很难超过Oracle.

3. 微软的收购历史说明了这一点，大部分的微软兼并案例都没有获得成功，常常将收购来的公司置于孤独的境界，实例不少。微软和雅虎的文化差异也比较大，对于公司规模相差不大的情况下，两者的冲突会更大些。

免费RUBY主机发布，和收费主机媲美的FREE RUBY WEB HOST

zhengyongmw — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 03:55:01 +0000

最近发现一个免费的RUBY 主机，官方承诺在2012年以后才开始收费，自己注册了一个，非常不错，跟收费主机没有什么区别，官方还提供技术支持，该主机具有以下特色：

1、 250M主机空间。

2、100G的流量，不用做下载站是完全够用的了。

3、可以自由绑定自己的顶级域名，如果没有顶级域名也可以使用官方提供的免费二级域名。

4、管理后台使用Cpanel，使用方便。

5、系统预置了超过500个高质量的建站模板，可以自由选择。

6、支持FTP和WEB方式的文件管理。

7 、支持PHP、CGI、PERL、RUBY、MYSQL。（这是我所知道的唯一支持RUBY的免费主机，很难得）

8、没有广告，难得。

注册地址：http://www.000webhost.com/

在注册过程中需要输入手机号进行验证，记得要在手机号码前面加86，否则是收不到验证码的。需要的朋友快去吧，这种好资源在国内很容易被人恶意注册，也许过段时间就申请不了了。

更新！已经无法使用该服务了，免费服务用起还是不怎么爽啊，哈哈！最近搞网络营销，发现还是付费主机好用。

根据你不同的需求，有许多主机公司可以选择。在这里必须注意一点就是，如果你推广的产品主要是面向欧洲那么就选择欧洲的主机，如果是美国就选择美国的主机，在网络营销中不同的产品面向不同的地区，因此选择主机是非常讲究的，千万不要太随便，贪小便宜吃大亏。以前我一直使用国内的主机，因为网站面向的是国内用户，虽然比国外的主机贵很多，但考虑的速度方面的因素还是使用了。后来刚开始做网络营销后，贪图便宜一直还是用国内主机做landing page，结果直接导致中国地区外的广告单价超高，因为欧美客户打开我的landing page速度太慢，直接导致adwords中的广告组质量分下降，单价提得很高了都得不到一个合适的广告位置。最后找到原因后，购买了国外的主机后，单价直接改到最低价，广告位置直接上升到google的搜索结果第一页。一天节省的广告费就足够买一年的主机了。

许多新人都有一种误解，认为好的虚拟主机都很贵，其实不然，一个好的主机直接关系到你站点的质量，不可马虎。另外现在许多主机都允许你附加多个域名开多个网站，比如BLUEHOST就是不错的选择，我一直使用BLUEHOST，一个主机可以无限制的附加域名，也就是说你可以在主机上开无限个站，非常合算，不过现在BLUEHOST的主页在国内已经被封了，下面给大家建议几个不错的主机。

主机推荐:

高度推荐下面的几个主机公司，我一直在使用下面的主机，详细的主机计划可以到他们的官方网站了解细节。

注册域名可以选择 1and1.com 和GoDaddy.com，这两家在业内服务和价格都非常好，godadyy还有注册域名送免费主机和邮箱及折扣，非常合算。

免费的WealthyAffiliate主机 ! - 注册WA后你可以获得免费的主机

不过如果你只是想买一个主机的话，WA不太适合你，因为会员费太贵了39$/月，如果你想学习网络营销知识，加入WA社区是个不错的选择，而且还可以获得免费的主机。大家自己却舍吧。

WealthyAffiliate的成员都可以享受高质量的免费主机服务。主机的各项参数如下：

Web Hosting Features	Domain Features	Email Features
Web Space: 600 MB Bandwidth: 120,000 MB FTP Accounts: 3 My SQL Databases: 3 DB Management: PHPMyAdmin	Subdomains: 30 Host External Domains: 3 Contact Detail Management Domain Aliases: 15	Email Accounts: 15 Mailbox Space: 600 MB Autoresponders: 3 Mail Redirects: 15 IMAP & POP3 Supported Web Mail: Yes (Horde)
