SMS and Messaging

In general, messaging (also called electronic messaging ) is the creation, storage, exchange, and management of text, images, voice, telex, fax , e-mail, paging, and Electronic Data Interchange ( EDI ) over a communications network.

In programming, messaging is the exchange of message s (specially-formatted data describing events, requests, and replies) to a messaging server , which acts as a message exchange program for client programs. There are two major messaging server models: the point-to-point model and the publish/subscribe model.

Messaging allows programs to share common message-handling code, to isolate resources and interdependencies, and to easily handle an increase in message volume. Messaging also makes it easier for programs to communicate across different programming environments (languages, compilers, and operating systems) since the only thing that each environment needs to understand is the common messaging format and protocol

Smartphones paved the way for consumers to communicate through a variety of outlets – from email and instant messaging to over-the-top content messaging apps.

However, despite the growth in other communication channels, SMS is still widely in use and remains one of the primary channels of communication. Why? Here are four crucial reasons. SMS is the most effective way to reach users, with a 90 percent read rate in minutes. When it comes to timeliness of delivery, SMS maintains the highest engagement rate in comparison to emails and OTT apps.

Webinars

Webinar (synonym: online seminar or web conference) is an online meeting or presentation held via the Internet in real time and replayed in scheduled times. To put it simply, it is an online event, which connects individuals with viewers across the world.

Webinars allow interactivity, or the ability to discuss, send and receive information in real time. During a webinar event, you can start polls, invite other participants to act as a presenter, communicate via online chat, share desktop and use a variety of digital materials.

Many webinars have an option at the closing stages of the webinar so the viewer can purchase a package, training, products and or services just to name a few. Therefore a webinar is a great sales tool where viewers can be engaged without pressure.

Domain Names and Hosting

To make a website you must own a domain name and web hosting. A common question is:

1. But what’s a domain name?
2. What’s web hosting?
3. Aren’t they the same?

It is very important that you are very clear on their differences before you move on to create your first website. A domain name is not something physical that you can touch or see. It is a string of characters that give your website an identity like an online telephone number.

A domain is the address of your website. Before you can setup a website, you will need a domain name.

To own a domain name, you need to register it with a domain registrar – click here to search and purchase a domain name –

Web hosting is a computer where people store their websites. Think of it as a house (known as a Data Centre) where you store all your stuff; but instead of storing your clothes and furniture, you store computer files (HTML, documents, images, videos, etc) in a web host.

More often than not, the term “web hosting” refers to the company that rent out their computer/servers to store your website and provide Internet connectivity so that other users can access to the files on your website.

For most cases, these hosting companies will handle server maintenance work, such as backup, root configuration, maintenance, disaster recoveries, and so on.

Always remember, cheap web hosting is not necessarily the best option, as it’s cheap for a reason which is generally very slow and your customers will expect fast load up times.
