noez.de/en just don't host illegal stuff u will enjoy it

Thanks a million bro

XplicitDigital:


There is a cheap alternative as low as $1.48/month, and it's even on shared hosting. The hosting provider is based in the US. With this lowest plan, you can have 3 custom domain websites and several subdomains (subdomain1.customdomain.com, subdomain2.customdomain.com, etc.) as well as up to 30 mailboxes (username@domain1.com, username@domain2.com, etc.).

For the premium plan, you will pay $2.38/month for unlimited websites, subdomains, mailboxes, etc.

I started with the basic plan three years ago and have been using the premium plan to host all my Django projects with no issues. The only setback I encountered before was when I needed to host a client project that required chat functionality. I couldn't successfully get Redis installed and synced with it. In that case, I resorted to using a dedicated server for $5, which was my previous method before discovering how to use shared hosting for Django.

The configuration is not very straightforward; it's simple but tricky. I can teach you everything you need to know about it, but you will have to pay a small fee for my time and tutelage. If you are interested, meet me in the DM.

Thanks a lot for this, please any hosting company with this option?

Good day. Please I am building a stock management system and I am on a very tight budget, does anyone know any cheap and reliable way I can deploy my app online with a custom domain, as low as $2/$3 dollars a month. I have looked up several shared hosting plans but none supports Django. Please I need help, I am quite new to python

bedfordng:
just buy a shared hosting from namecheap and use it to run the app since it's for internal use. You don't want to stress yourself buying vps and setting up email service, installing database and other tooling for such app.

I chatted namecheap customer care service and was told that, Django applications are not used on their shared hosting. Please is there a way it is done?

losprince:
pythonanywhere . com/pricing/ has a $5/month tier

Thanks a lot. Hope they usually don't have downtime

I have a django app to deploy, it's a stock management system and it will have about 5 users. I will be using a custom domain but I need a good hosting service that cost as low as 2/3dollars a month or something quite cheap hence the budget. Someone told me that google cloud free tier can do the work. Please any suggestions

I feel you should learn one at a time because, you may start getting confused with a lot of things, eg structures and syntax, that is if it involves learning multiple programming languages, also you may not really be focused, especially if you are new to coding. I would advice you start with web development

There’s really something for everyone to hate about laundry. Impatient people like me, hate the waiting. Easily-distracted people hate the folding. And there’s not a soul on Earth that enjoys the part where you leave piles of folded clothes in your living room for five to seven business days before reluctantly carrying them upstairs.

While SLICK-TS can’t come do your laundry for you, we can try to make it easier by rounding up a big list of our very favourite hacks, tricks, and techniques for making laundry day go a little bit easier.

1. Keep chalk in the kitchen to treat grease stains.
Grease stains be gone! Because chalk is ultra-absorbent, you can rub a bit on any oily kitchen stains as they happen, to absorb grease and hold you over until you can throw the garment in the wash.


2. Soften sheets with vinegar.
Run a cycle with your bed sheets and a half-cup of distilled white vinegar to give them a quick boost of softness and brightness, and to remove lingering odours.


3. Dry clothes fast with a clean towel in the dryer.
You can speed up the machine-dry process by adding a clean, dry towel to the mix. Toss it into the dryer with your wet clothes to dry everything faster.


4. Fake-iron your clothes with ice cubes.
If you have a dryer in your apartment, you can quickly “iron” your clothes with an ice cube. Just toss the wrinkled clothes in the dryer with an ice cube or two, on the warmest possible setting, and let the ice cube create steam in the dryer to leave your clothes looking smooth.


5. Spray clothes with vodka.
Vodka is a natural deodorizer. Keep a spray bottle full of cheap vodka on hand and use it to freshen up your smelly clothes for a re-wear before washing.


6. Lift sticky stains with ice cubes.

If you notice a stubborn, sticky mess on your clothes (like gum!) try this: Leave some ice cube
on top of the mess for a few minutes, then easily peel the gunk away once it feels like it’s hardened.


7. Pre-treat sweat stains with baby shampoo.

Dab a bit of baby shampoo on your sweat-soiled shirt collars and underarm areas and let it soak in for half an hour before throwing them in the washer to say goodbye to those unsightly pit stains once and for all.


8. Put your clothes in the freezer.

This may sound really crazy but It won’t kill bacteria, but an overnight stay in the freezer will help to de-stink your clothes enough to, say, wear that smokey top or pair of jeans one more time before washing them.

You are still living in January, with the pics you posted up there

I guess this is the latest?

Starting an online business or store might seem like a quick and easy way to make a few bucks, but there’s more to starting up an online it than plugging photos into a designer web template.

The National Retail Federation expects online retail sales to grow between 8% and 12% in 2017, so the industry is a productive space for ambitious entrepreneurs. But without some planning, yours could become one of the countless forgettable online stores.

Here are five steps to take to help ensure a successful launch.

Starting an online store: what you should do



Choose the right platform
Once you have an idea, you’ll have to decide how to create your shop: Use a hosted e-commerce platform; create and host your own site with open-source, e-commerce software; or sell primarily on third-party platforms. Any one chosen by you is fine, but we can help in building an exclusive e-commerce store for at a ridiculously cheap price.

However, open-source, e-commerce software works If you’re tech savvy, you can build your own site. This gives you freedom to customize.

Marketplaces: Like Amazon or Etsy, these services let you sell through them. You might get more eyes on your product, but you also give up the opportunity to establish your own internet identity.

Be prepared for the costs
One of the advantages of e-commerce is the low cost of entry. But low-cost doesn’t mean free.
You’ll pay for the product you’re selling — or the materials to make it — as well as online-specific costs such as domain fees, commissions for selling on third-party marketplaces or fees for hosting your website. Add that to basic business expenses such as advertising and packaging, and operating costs can stack up quickly.

“It may cost only a tenth of what it costs offline, but that is still money,” says Naomi Dunford, marketing and growth coach at IttyBiz. “People really forget that.”

Consider shipping details
Free shipping is a boon for customers, but should you make it work by increasing the cost of your products or by taking the cost out of your profit margins? Should you offer it at all?
“Make sure you are investing in things that matter deeply for customers,” says Jimmy Duvall, chief product officer at BigCommerce.

And if you’re selling internationally, you’ll have to deal with customs forms, exchange rates and higher shipping costs. Strategize before you launch so you aren’t scrambling to fulfill orders.

Look for ways to involve customers
The internet is vast, and even if you think your product is unique, it’s likely something similar already exists. But Duvall says offering a common product in a distinct way can help you stand out.
He points to StoreYourBoard, a website that sells hardware for hanging outdoor gear. The company won BigCommerce’s 2016 Innovation Award for encouraging customers to ask questions, write reviews and post pictures of its products in use on its website.

“All of it takes a lot of time and thought, but the results are a feedback loop that makes finding the right product even easier for future customers,” says Josh Gordon, StoreYourBoard’s founder and president.

You can start simple, Duvall says. Having a clean site with useful content, an easy-to-find “contact us” link, and an “About Us” section can help build that relationship from the beginning. And make your return, exchange and shipping policies transparent so customers know what to expect.

Establish expertise
You know your product better than anyone else, Duvall says. Now turn that expertise into reasons why customers should do business with you.
Adding content is one way. Say you sell pet products: What should pet owners take into account when choosing food or toys? Does it vary by breed?

This doesn’t mean you need to write regular blog posts — though if you have the time and skills, go for it. You can also add pages to your site with details about why you chose to make or sell a particular product or brand, and why you think that choice is best for your customers.

The PS5 (or PlayStation 5) is the next-generation PlayStation console, with a release date confirmed for late 2020. During Sony’s The Future of Gaming event on June 11, we finally got our first look at the PS5’s design and the PS5 games line-up, which includes the likes of Horizon Forbidden West and a remake of Demon’s Souls.

The PS5 design reveal was a shock, and it included the surprise unveiling of the PS5 Digital Edition – a streamlined, all-digital console without a disc drive. It’s another sign that console manufacturers have their eye on a future without physical media. While Sony didn’t reveal the PS5 price or release date, we now know a lot of what we can expect when the PlayStation 5 launches later this year.



Earlier this year, Sony revealed the DualSense PS5 controller, which includes a slew of impressive-sounding features like haptic feedback, adaptive triggers and a built-in mic. What really stands out about the DualSense controller, though, is its radically different look and space-age black-and-white color scheme, and it turns out the PS5 design has a similar look – this marks a significant departure from its predecessors.


Release: PS5 Specs
Just as important as the DualSense Controller are the PS5 specs, discussed in detail at Sony’s March reveal event. Lead system architect Mark Cerny provided us with a deep dive into the PS5’s system architecture, revealing the technical inner workings of the PS5. We’ll cover them in more detail down below, but the short of it is that the PS5 is rocking an AMD Zen 2-based CPU with 8 cores at 3.5GHz, 16GB of GDDR6 memory and a custom RDNA 2 AMD GPU that puts out 10.28 TFLOPs of processing power.

When it comes to other PS5 features, we know the next-gen console will have ray-tracing, a super-fast SSD, a built-in 4K Blu-ray player and will be backwards compatible with a huge swathe of the PS4’s game catalogue. It may even have voice assistant capabilities to tell you how long it will take to beat levels. So far, then, the PS5 is living up to the hype, but it’s the games that’ll make all the difference.

The perfect dinner gown is one of the must-have items in every woman’s wardrobe is a beautiful dinner gown, which makes her feel like a queen. Wearing a gown in the right color, fit, and cut can instantly uplift the look of any woman who wants to make an impression. The sad truth, however, is that a large number of women are unable to pick a gown that meets their requirements. Whether it is for a date, a formal event or your way of being ‘extra’, here are the tips to choosing the perfect dinner gown for you:


Nature of the occasion

You don’t want to look or feel out of place in a crowd. It is, therefore, important that you pick a lovely dress that’s perfectly suited to the occasion that you’re attending. If it is a formal event, you need to wear a formal dinner dress. A casual dress should be worn only for casual events. With some careful thinking and attention to detail, you can pick a dress that will make you the cynosure of all eyes.

The right colour
Another consideration that is very important in choosing the perfect dinner gown is picking a colour that suits your complexion. Colours that complement your skin tone can make you look even more stunning, whereas wearing a dress in a wrong color can hurt your appearance and make you appear lackluster and pale. A lot of women pick dresses in black as it is considered a ‘safe’ colour. But, there are also many who are not afraid of experimenting with vibrant colors and make a style statement of their own. This does not imply that you should pick a dress in an odd color that isn’t in keeping with the event.

Your body type
Knowing your body’s shape and size is very important in order to get the fit of the dress right. In fact, this is one of the secrets of finding the perfect dinner gown. If you have broad shoulders, you might want to think about keeping them covered and accentuating your backside to balance your body shape. If you have the petite body type, wearing a flowy dress would be a big no-no as it’ll make you appear shorter.

Length
If you’re attending a formal black-tie event, it is better to stick to floor length dresses, although short dresses are also considered acceptable now. Be careful if you plan to wear a long dress with heels. When selecting the length of your dress take the size of your heels into consideration. Wear your heels and then try the dresses on to get the length right. You don’t want your dress to look a tad too short at the main event. And if you’re attending a casual event, you could go for a shorter dress.

Fabric
A pretty dress can be made prettier by using the right fabric to make it. Pick a dress in a fabric that drapes well around your body, and slightly hugs your curves. Cotton, nylon, satin, and silk work well in this area.

Style is important
Since you may be spending money on your dinner gown, you will do well in picking one that can stand the test of time and can be worn stylishly more than once or twice. It is advisable to buy a dress that has a timeless appeal to it. Hence, it is better not to fall for current trends, but choose an evergreen style that would look great even five or ten years from now.

How many of us have had that lovely t-shirt, but we had to dump them because, we have no idea how to prevent the neck of your t-shirt from stretching? When the neck of a t-shirt gets stretched out too far, it can make it a little less comfortable. It also makes it look wrinkled and a little worn out. There are several things that people do to stretch out the collar of their t-shirts. By avoiding those pitfalls, you can avoid the over-stretched collar look.

One of the ways that t-shirt necks get stretched is by changing the shape of the shirt. This can happen when the shirt is wet. One of the most important ways to avoid stretching out the neck is to never put on a t-shirt while it is wet. Even if the shirt is only damp, putting it on will stretch the neck a little. Dry a t-shirt until there is no moisture left in it before putting it on.

Unfortunately, there is the possibility of a t-shirt getting wet while it is being worn. If something is spilled around the neck area, or if sweat or rain causes the shirt to become wet, allow the shirt to dry out before taking it off. You can stand in front of a fan to make this go quicker, or you might sit in the sun.

When a t-shirt is wet, also avoid hanging it on a hanger. This can make the neck of the shirt stretch in both directions as the weight of the water in the shirt stretches it downward on the hanger. If you want to hang it up to dry, fold the t-shirt over the bottom of the hanger. Or, simply lay the shirt flat to dry instead of hanging it up. This will actually keep the shirt’s shape all over- not just at the neck.

To further protect a t-shirt from being stretched at the neck, avoid using hangers. Stretching the neck of a dry t-shirt over a hanger may not change the shape of it right away, but after it has been hung up many times, the neck will be stretched to some degree. T-shirts can be folded and put into a drawer for the best results. This will keep the neck area flat and keep it from being tugged down by gravity. Some people worry about their folded shirts developing wrinkles. But, cotton is a very soft fabric. This makes t-shirts are unlikely to wrinkle, even if they are folded. If a t-shirt does develop a wrinkle or two, simply put it into the dryer for a minute or two to smooth them out.


Another way to keep the shape of the neck is to be careful when putting it on. Some people get into the habit of stretching a shirt with their hands before they put it on. Others let the shirt linger too long on the head while it is being put on. Both of these habits may be unconscious, so being aware of the way the shirt is being put on is the key.

The emergence of eCommerce in Nigeria changed the way Nigerians bought and sold goods. While there are still a number of online shopping though without escrow skeptics, more Nigerians have over time embraced the idea of buying stuff online and having them delivered at their doorsteps. According to a recent Alexa ranking, online shopping sites are among the most visited websites by Nigerians.

Pioneer eCommerce companies such as Jumia and Konga who had ventured into the uncharted waters of eCommerce at the time had to win the trust of Nigerians to get them to buy items online. If the fear of paying for something you haven’t seen physically was not scary enough, the thought of logging on to a website and providing card details –especially with internet fraud Nigeria has always been known for—was enough to keep Nigerians from trusting online payment.

Therefore, these companies introduced payment on delivery (PoD) to assure Nigerians that they do not have to part with their money until they are satisfied with the items delivered to them.

There are several downsides to PoD which is especially to the disadvantage of eCommerce companies as seen with the death of a Jumia delivery man in Port Harcourt and many other similar incidents.

Also, PoD gives too much power to the customers; eCommerce companies have recorded high rates of returned goods which result in financial loss. The cases of customers not being available to pick up their deliveries has also posed a serious problem for merchants and this can only be tied to lack of monetary commitments on the parts of the buyers. Although there have been cases of merchants delivering sub-standard goods and messing up deliveries, customers still take too much advantage of PoD which would not be possible if they had to pay commitment tokens before their ordered goods are delivered to them.

A few eCommerce companies have refused to conform to the norm that is PoD as it is seen as ‘bad business’ and in the wake of the Jumia deliveryman tragedy, more companies would move for the motion to kill PoD in Nigeria permanently. But who are we kidding? Cash on delivery can not be completely scrapped in Nigeria until it becomes a truly cashless society.

For eCommerce platforms that do not offer cash on delivery services, buyers need to know that their purchases are protected. Hence, the need for third parties who ensure the process goes smoothly.

Escrow services protect buyers and sellers by acting as third parties that collect and hold payments from buyers to be released to the sellers when the buyers are satisfied or based on agreements; it creates a commitment bridge between buyers and merchants.

This is a safe way to strike a balance between the power given to the customer and credibility of merchants, eliminating fraud. A few Nigerian e-payment gateways have claimed to offer escrow services but it is hardly public knowledge.

The likes of Konga and online payment platforms such as SimplePay and Voguepay offer escrow services but how many buyers are aware of this? Are their escrow services even functional?

American eCommerce platform, Amazon started with cash on delivery services but was able to work around the issue of trust due to the existence of trusted intermediaries like PayPal.

More Nigerian payment platforms need to rise to the occasion and start providing escrow services especially in these times that PoD is gradually becoming unpopular.

With PoD, customers have unlimited power to decide whether or not to accept goods delivered to them and if the terms of delivery which they may have agreed to earlier become inconvenient for them at the time of delivery. They retain this power to an extent with escrow services but bearing in mind that they have parted with some money. One one hand, knowing that a trusted third party is involved to ensure the safety of the process will make buyers more committed and reduce the return rates of goods and on the other hand, merchants will hold their own end of the deal.

Since trust is still a big issue with online shopping in Nigeria, one would wonder why many Nigerians shop on foreign eCommerce sites like Aliexpress and Amazon who require payment before delivery. These platforms provide escrow services that ensure that purchases made on their websites are protected. It is, therefore, imperative that Nigerian online shopping platforms provide a safe shopping environment for their customers which will encourage payment before delivery.

It is obvious that merchants are not the only ones that cannot be trusted, buyers too are to blame for some of the problems the Nigerian eCommerce sector faces. Since we know that payment on delivery is not going anywhere anytime soon, safety measures should be taken to protect delivery agents. Unsafe places should be crossed out of their delivery routes and deliveries should be done in public places. Also, a refundable fee should be charged before delivery to establish a level of commitment to the purchase.

Did you know that the hoodies, which is now a staple in most Nigerian’ closets, was designed with athletes and manual laborers in mind? While the hoodie has been around for only 80 years or so, it has made a lasting impression on the western culture.  From its conception, and throughout the decades that followed, people have worn hoodies for every reason from simply trying to stay warm to demonstrating a political standing.

While hoodies may give a nostalgic feeling for our high school or undergrad years, it has made its way to the fashion forefront. Now, sweatshirts deliver the same utilitarian effect for our wardrobe as denim does. Adults, teens, and kids all wear sweatshirts. Hoodies are dressed up, dressed down, and boast everything from your favorite sports team to your newest street-style brand. It’s safe to say the hoodie is here to stay.

1920s/1930s

Champion Products, which started as the Knickerbocker Knitting Company, is credited with producing the first sweatshirt in 1919. However, it wasn’t until the 1930s until the sweatshirt was ready for the general market. In 1934, the hood was added to better help laborers and athletes protect themselves from the elements.

The sweatshirt was the answer to solving the issue of uncomfortable wool jerseys for football players, and employees who worked in cold conditions needed more warmth other than their long underwear. Soon, the hoodie made its way into mainstream fashion, when presumably high school and university athletes gave their girlfriends their hoodies to wear. Steadily throughout the next couple of decades, sweatshirts became a popular clothing option for teens and young adults.

1970s

In the mid-Seventies, the hoodie had its first major transformation, and this was also the time the hoodie became a cultural symbol. New York City in around 1974 – 1976 was a huge source for emerging street cultures. Graffiti and hip hop artists and DJs came onto the scene, and all brought hoodies into the mainstream.

Another sub-culture group that changed the way hoodies were worn and looked at was the skateboarding world. This was at a time when skateboarding was reinvented, and the sport became much more than just rolling along sidewalks. With its new moves came a certain attitude and style.

Another culturally significant impact the hoodie had on America came with the 1976 release of the now-classic film, Rocky. Sylvester Stallone’s classic gray hoodie became a symbol for hard work.

1980s

The hoodie found its place in high fashion during the eighties when Norma Kamali created her Sweatshirt Collection. This was revolutionary for the fashion industry, and it shifted fashionistas’ perceptions of everyday fabrics and garments in high-end designs.

2000s

By the 2000s, the hoodie had its place in American culture. It was clear this article of clothing was going nowhere. By this point, it was just as much of a wardrobe staple, whether in high fashion, skate culture, high school, adults’ closets, and everywhere in between. The sweatshirt reached universal appeal and it still remains a popular pick for the colder weather.

But, with the year 2012, the hoodie took on a new political meaning. It’s worth noting the significance of the hoodie that has made recent news in the country.

This was the year that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wore hoodies on Wall Street and in the months leading up to the company’s initial public offering or IPO. This certainly made a statement among investors, and his statement was loud and clear.

It’s worth nothing the significance of the hoodie that has made recent news in the country. The tragic shooting of Florida teen Trayvon Martin in 2012 has since sparked a nationwide debate about the hooded sweatshirt. Million Hoodie Marches took place in cities across the nation. NBA players and the entire Miami Heat team took tweeted photos of themselves wearing hoodies. Musicians such as Wyclef Jean wore a symbolic hoodie when speaking about Martin in an interview. The Red Hot Chili Peppers wore hoodies with the words “Ode to Trayvon, Stand What Ground” on their back at their Florida concert that year. The hoodie has sparked many debates since and has proven to act as a symbol of cultural significance.

We are all in our homes and we are keeping our distance from friends, due to COVID-19, it’s no secret that we’re spending more time than ever on our computers and cell phones. There are few business that would probably come out strong from this. Businesses that would survive the pandemic, are only those with websites and those with an online presence. Trust me, everything has changed, just in a space of 2/3 months.

Whoever thought that schools would be online, that is the craziest thing I would have thought, if you had told me that in January. I would have probably believed that universities and post graduate programs would go online, but not elementary schools or secondary/high schools. People now hold meetings online, through zoom, google meet, etc. its really crazy.

Digital reliance is at a high level. And now more than ever, it is important that you as a business owner match this demand with a website that’s relevant and easy to navigate.

Your Only Source of Brand Representation

We all already know that the trend for consumerism these past few years has increasingly been dominated by online shopping. While a strong online presence was simply a major plus in those coveted pre-Covid days, it is now a dire necessity.

As a digital storefront is currently all most cities and businesses can offer, your website is most likely your sole source of brand representation, making it a key component in the survival of your business during these difficult times.

As many of our businesses remained closed for the foreseeable future, it is incredibly important to know that the internet will forever remain open. Just because shoppers are no longer able to walk into your store to make a purchase, it doesn’t mean that they’ve stopped shopping; they’ve simply found a new way to do so.

Accepting The Shift and Moving With It

Not only is the importance of having a website increasing, the amount of consumers searching for products online are as well.

Despite some being in a position where they’re able to drive to a store and make a purchase, many if not most people are opting for the safer option of ordering online.

So, whether or not your cities are mandating closures of non-essential business, consumerism in general is being driven globally towards a digital platform and away from an in-person purchase.

Essentially, if you’re not already online and catering to the overwhelming size of the current digital population, it’s time you hop on board.

Even if COVID-19 hasn’t affected your brick and mortar business personally, it will in the future as its drastic effect on consumerism continues to add a heavy favor to the already expanding platform of online businesses.

It Isn’t Too Late

With CROSART in place, we can help you out of this quagmire, if you find yourself already in that rope. We would design an outstanding website for your business, at an extremely affordable rate. A website that would have a spot on google, “isn’t that relieving” .We can as well design a store for your products, an automated store, where all the work is done by the system, even negotiations, if you like.

Why school management system is trending technology in education


There are several reasons as to why school management systems have become the latest cool quotient in the world of education. Managing a school has always been tougher and with every passing day, one can only guess, it is only getting even tougher. The pinch is perhaps felt the hardest by the school administration, ones who are supposed to run the school – on whom all the responsibility rests and with whom the buck stops. After all, there is so much of work that the school authorities have to do!
