The Media started during the Renaissance in Europe. Right when the mechanical typeset was discovered. An information can be passed on to huge masses of people. People like Charles Dickens and Jane Austin capitalized on that by writing great books. Without the media they would have been nowhere.

The Radio was discovered in the mid 1800s and people didn’t have to read anymore. And in the early 1900s, there was TV. In the 1990s we got the internet, which we could use to search for anything we want. Free flow of information on demand, when you want it where you want it. It was texts initially, now we have got podcasts. Well, thats what podworks is about.

Now the size of the computer has been reduced to fit in your hand. And now its most popularly called a Phone. And, the Iphone is the best among all that. And I own one of those. An 8GB iPhone 3G that transfers data faster than my broadband connection used to do 4 years ago.

There are so many things that you can do with the iPhone. Its not just for talking. The apps that are available for the iPhone are simply great, and are not available on the regular PDAs or smart phones. I am a windows hater, and though iPhone doesn’t run linux, it is atleast unix based.

And just like in linux, you get an app for anything you need for iphone. I can’t list them out, the list is infinite. For example, I have been looking for an apartment at Texas to run my new home cum office for my friend who is there to handle our new venture for some time now. Something bigger and better than our current place, but in the same locality. I googled, yahooed and MSNed. Nothing happened. But I found this one result buried deep down in one of the searches. It was iphone apartment app.

I decided to give it a try, as it said it uses GPS to find you apartments. Wow. I downloaded the app, and asked my friend to do it too. He started off the app, and located a very decent place in the map, thanks to the GPS satellites, called the owner, went over, took some photos and sent it to me, which I approved instantly, and we have that place now. It was that simple. I am surprised how technology is evolving. A tiny app for iPhone is now doing what google isn’t being able to do.

You would do well keeping your support system in a completely isolated place. But if you are starting off small, and are keeping everything under one roof, including sales, and support, isolate sales from support. Give support most priority. Keep them on an isolated intercom circuit. Give them the best power backup. Have more than one internet connection for them, even if you have a best internet service provider’s connection in your region.

Install seperate local servers for the sales, billing and the support teams. Always keep them on seperate LAN connections on seperate internet connections. You wouldnt want your sales people to know which client is having problems, and your support to know how much sales is being done. Though support people may guess that from the number of new accounts that are bing created, it is best to keep them all isolated.

Provide seperate PCs for each of your staff. If you have 3 support guys, one working on each shift, give them an induvidual PC, 1 for each, and dont let them share a common PC. They should be able to access the details and everything that they need from a common server to which all support PCs are connected. There is no point in having more than 2 shifts for sales, so they might as well share PCs.

Though you are confident about your network installation, wires can get disconnected at any time. So it is always best to connect your PCs thru wifi. Atleast you will be able to switch to another ISP line immediately if you have problems in one.

Make sure that you get only a Split AC, that comes with a seperate outdoor unit, so that people can save themselves from the noise that the AC produces.

Seat your staff very close to a loo, so that they dont spend too much time wandering to the loo once in a while. Also, have an office attendent or two, who would bring refreshments directly to them, so that they dont have to take the excuse of walking to the coffee machine ever half hour.

If you have got loadshedding in your area, or if your area is a victim of a very frequent power blackout, it is best to go for a sinewave UPS, as running computers on Generators is not advisable. You could however install generators for the ACs and lights.

This should do, to start up a small scale office for providing web hosting services
