Host Recommendation

The current host that the Banner Elk Presbyterian Church is using is HostGator. They offer unlimited web hosting. It starts at $3.96 per month. They have alot of good deals. If they do not wish to continue using this host, another hosting site that I would recommend would be justhost.com. It is a little cheaper with $3.75 per month. It offers pretty much the same features that HostGator offers, but what caught my attention was the website transfer feature. The website transfer feature allows you to easily switch web hosts. They offer free domain transfer and free domain name registration. It the church does decide to switch web hosts and they go to justhost.com, it will allow them to transfer their website without much difficulty at all.

I thought long and hard about a name that you can use on facebook. I see that you already came up with one, but the names that I thought of were sundrop, Tinkerbell, pixie, and sky. I also attended the study abroad fair that we had to attend last week. It was very informative. I never really considered going abroad. I talked with some representatives from different organizations. One organization ISA (International Studies Abroad) has graduate school options. This one interested me the most. Here are some pictures I took from the fair.

Digital Signatures

A digital signature takes the concept of traditional paper-based signing and turns it into an electronic fingerprint or stamp. This coded message, is unique to both the document and the signer and binds both of them together. Digital signatures help organizations sustain signer authenticity, accountability, data integrity and non-repudiation of electronic documents and forms. Many people want to know how safe are digital signatures. This website suggests that digital signatures are more safer than handwritten signatures because any changes made to an electronically signed document are clearly indicated and will immediately invalidate the signature, thereby protecting against forgery. Personally, I would be very hesitant by using digital signatures. Technology is so advanced today it would be hard for me to believe that digital signatures cannot be copy and pasted and used with other documents. Digital signatures are very popular with many companies but I personally would be very cautious when using them.
