Quality original artwork at BeautifulRealArt.com

I think that just about everyone I know has a piece of artwork in their home. Whether it’s a painting, or print that’s touched them in some way, or one which they purchased to enhance the look of the room that they placed the artwork in, it’s there.

If you appreciate original artwork you might want to take a moment and visit www.BeautifulRealArt.com. All of the artwork that they sell is original.

As I browsed through the site I discovered that each piece of artwork sold is one of a kind. If you are interested in a photograph there’s a statement in the description that says that no prints will be made of the photograph. If you are collecting art as an investment it’s always nice to know that there are no other copies in any form.

There is a wide selection of artistic styles to choose from including still life, abstract, floral, landscape, wildlife, expressionist, fantasy, modern, contemporary, impressionist, digital and real mixed media artwork. You’ll find oil, acrylic, and water color paintings, as well as drawings, photographs, sculptures in metal, stone and wood, and pottery.

I was quite pleased with the quality of the artwork being sold. There’s some beautiful paintings and photographs that I know my wife would just love for us to get for our own home.

If you know someone who enjoys original artwork you might consider purchasing a gift certificate to give to your friend or loved one for their birthday or another special occasion. It would be a unique gift for someone who truly appreciates fine art.

All of the artwork for sale at Beautiful Real Art has been purchased from the original artist. You deal directly with Beautiful Artwork when making a purchase. If you do decide to make a purchase I’m sure you’ll be please to know that the company is offering free 2-day express shipping on all purchases.

Visit this site before you book your vacation


As soon as I came across HotelReservations.com a few weeks ago I was sure to bookmark it. We don’t do a lot of traveling, not lately anyway, but I’m keeping this site in mind for the next time that one or both of us ends up traveling and needs to make Hotel Reservations. I know we’ll find rooms that are in good hotels and for reasonable prices.

As I said we don’t travel much so that should put a little bit of weight on the fact that I have bookmarked this site. Why did I bookmark it? Well, because I know that when we do travel to just about anywhere in the world I can go to Hotelreservations.com and find not only hotel rooms to book right then and there, but car rentals, and flights too.

This site actually fulfills many vacation needs. As I’ve browsed through the site I’ve found that if I’d prefer to book a vacation rental - perhaps a ski chalet in the winter, or a summer house on the beach I can probably find accommodations at these types of lodgings too. It’s not just hotel rentals.

In fact, they even have complete vacation packages. You can click on their vacation package tab, then fill out a little bit of information such as the type of package you are looking for - flight, hotel and car or any combination. Then choose your departure city, and the city you’d like to visit.

Just for the heck of it I went through the process and decided what kind of packages they had for flight and hotel, for the weekend of Friday January 19th to Monday January 22nd from Toronto to Los Angeles for two adults.

I found that I could sort my results by price, hotel name, price or even city (if I’d chosen to have more than one travel destination). The first result at the top of the list, is I presume, the hotelreservations.com pick. They suggested hotel Angelino, with a total cost of $1464 for two adults and three nights hotel accommodations. I suppose that’s not bad. I then sorted by price and the lowest price I got was $1130. Now I know that prices for flights and hotel accommodations can be higher or lower depending on what day and what date you are traveling so I would suggest fooling around with departure dates in order to find the best prices. Perhaps if I’d chosen to book from Thursday to Sunday or different dates, I might have found a few lower prices.

I do think this is a site worth visiting. Please do visit hotelreservations.com for yourself and see if you think it’s as great a site as I do.

Start your own hosting company

I’ve often thought of starting a web related business on the site. One of my ideas was to host websites for clients. I haven’t really looked into it very much yet but I just came across a site that offers some decently priced Reseller Web Hosting and I think I might start looking into this a bit more.

You might be interested in starting your own hosting company as well when you see what I’ve found at hosterio. Why would you be interested? Well if you do any web design work or other types of technical services why wouldn’t you think of expanding your services by hosting some of your clients sites?

Hosterio offers the whole package. When you set up a hosting company there are a few things you need to get started. Things like a Hosting website, a way to manage your clients orders and a way to accept online orders, a support ticketing Manager to provide support to your clients, a merchant Account, and a Reseller Hosting Package. Well, as I said, Hosterio offers the whole package in their Reseller hosting package. You get all five of those necessary items.

I was very surprised to see how inexpensive the reseller hosting packages were. The lowest priced package gives you 500 MB of disk space and 5000 MB of data transfer and 5 domain/accounts with a private label, plus all of the features that your clients will need from email accounts to c-panel to control their own websites and domains, all for only $77.77 US per year. The highest priced package offers you 10000 MB disk space, and 75000 MB of data transfer, and an unlimited number of Domain/accounts for the low price of only $242.22 US per year. All accounts come with 24/7 support.

If you’ve been thinking of starting a hosting company of your own, check out the packages at Hosterio. They seem like very well thought out hosting reseller packages to me.
