Behind the Curtain at 40Tech – WooThemes Review

If you’re a regular visitor to 40Tech, you’ve probably noticed the new look. The look is largely due to a new theme by WooThemes. A few months ago, the 40Tech team decided that a new look was needed in order to grow the site and to implement some upcoming new features that we had in mind (stay tuned for those). After searching around for a new WordPress theme from numerous sources, all signs kept pointing back to WooThemes. While the beauty of WooThemes’ designs was what sealed the deal, it was the support I ran into after the sale that impressed me the most. Read more

Did You Get Your Mom an iPad or Are You Waiting for Version 2?

Mom's Love the iPad | 40Tech

So far, we’ve been avoiding all of the iPad chatter here at 40Tech, choosing not to get involved in the sweeping web-wide hype that it’s generated. Admittedly, some of that avoidance is fuelled by the fact that we don’t own a single iPad between us – but we hear good things. Personally, the slowly withering anti-Apple in me is inclined to wait until version two of the iPad is released, hoping for an even better experience (and a self-facing camera for video chats), but this new piece of tech/giant iPod Touch (or iPhone) has taken the worlds of techies and reg’lar folk by storm. I know this because both my mother and my wife (mother of my child) have expressed an interest in getting one. So this begs the question: Did you get your mom an iPad for Mother’s Day?

A New Look for 40Tech

40Tech new theme

Welcome to the new look for 40Tech. We’ll have a post up in the next few days with some information about the design. The logo you see up top was designed by our very own Bobby Travis, who does this sort of thing for a living. We hope that the new look feels a bit cleaner to you, and helps you navigate the site more easily. It also should help us in our plans to grow the site going forward. Bear with us as we tweak the site, as you may see some glitches here and there. Stay tuned for more news!

When it comes to free web hosting, although free, there are still a lot of things you might want to look at before diving in. If you end up with the wrong hosting provider, you might not just get a simple headache but worst, a severe migraine. Unfortunately, issues such as downtimes, annoying ads or hidden charges are a bit common with free hosting.

So, are free web hosting plans never enough? Well, not really. It just depends on what kind of website you are trying to create. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of great deals lying around the net if you just know where to look. One of the few reliable web hosting providers that offers free hosting is Doteasy.com. But aside from the free and affordable hosting packages they provide, they also offer domain name registration services as well. They have been around the hosting and domain name registration business since 2000 and are trusted by over 160,000 domain owners. Read more
