Social Media
what is it and what will that do for me?
The Internet then and now
As the internet started in the late 80s of the 20th century the available websites and contents were static and could only be "consumed". To be found by a search engine like Altavista it was enough to have a domain name that was on top of the alphabetic sorting, e. g. 1a-pharmacy.com. Or some "juicy" words had been given as search terms; these terms didn't need to belong to the own website contents and content itself was not very important.
Web 2.0
When Web 2.0 came up and the websites have changed to ones where the users could comment on something, the Internet and the websites became dynamic. It wasn't just to consume the contents but also to take active part in it. Everywhere forums and review sites arose and the static HTML sites have retreated into the background.
Social Media
After the turn of the millennium the first social networks like Facebook and Twitter launched. Nowadays it's usual to twitter the latest occurrences and friends are invited to events via Facebook and Whatsapp.
Several years ago some teenagers got lost in a sewage system. They used Facebook via mobile phone to contact their friends to please them to get in contact with the police. They didn't thought about using the mobile phone to call the police directly. This demonstrates how Facebook, Twitter & Co. meanwhile are permanently fixed in minds of the so-called Internet generation.
Social Marketing
When displaying products and services on a homepage and wondering why Internet search engines nearly don't find them, maybe it's time to start dealing with Social Marketing. A product that has not been discussed or mentioned in the Internet's social networks nearly isn't existing. At least it doesn't have a relevance ranking for Google and others and therefore it is listed far behind in the search results. Only when combining the own contents with the social networks and a discussion about them, it will be more interesting for the search engines and it's possible to reach more hits when searching the Internet about it.
And that's where CSTC comes in
We set up your accounts and company pages or we help you with already existing social media accounts like Facebook, Twitter and so on, to place your products and services to make sure they can be found better. We consult you and help you to make your website contents better known and to reach more customers.

Vulnerability of modern websites
The maintenance and therefore the updates of a website nowadays play a major role.
Modern websites, blogs and online shops contain a huge amount of program codes and at least one SQL data base, also when having just a manageable amount of pages. Both invites hackers to search for weak points to bring in malicious codes.
In the worst case also your customers are affected when they get their computers infected by accessing your page, or the data of your customers itself can be stolen.

Explanations to the text:
Webhosting
Webhosting is a type of Internet hosting service that allows you to make websites accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server owned or leased for the use by clients, as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center.
Domain
A domain name is an identification string that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority or control within the Internet. Domain names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System (DNS). Any name registered in the DNS is a domain name. (wikipedia)
Internetsite
An Internetsite is a set of related web pages typically served from a single web domain. A website is hosted on at least one web server, accessible via a network such as the Internet or a private local area network through an Internet address known as a uniform resource locator. All publicly accessible websites collectively constitute the World Wide Web. (wikipedia)

You have a small business and you cannot afford pricy advertising?
With a Facebook business fanpage and the appropriate advertising you can reach more than 200,000 people in Uruguay within 2-3 weeks. And that's for just 5000 Pesos! Usually that's not possible with conventional advertising and not as simple and affordable. You pay only those, who respond to your advertising, in this example the cost per person was about 3.20 pesos. And you can also be sure that the person has responded in any way to your advertising, such as with a "Like" of your page!
Webhosting - How to find the appropriate provider
You need a new website, a make over of your existing sites, email addresses or storage in the net? Everywhere it's the same problem - how to find the best partner for the space in the Internet - the appropriate web hoster.
Comparing the large providers there is usually no big difference in the standard services of the offered packages, with similar prices.
Sometimes the little things and the price-performance ratio can make the difference. During the last 15 years we have tried a few hosters and had to overcome some problems. First you have to be aware of what exactly you want to do. The main questions are if you are planning a website for a company or a club page, a blog or an online shop?

CMS - Content Management System
