5 Common Small Business Growing Pains and How DNS Made Easy Can Help

Reston, VA (PRWEB) July 08, 2014

Growing pains: we all have them and none of us like them. Now, it’s time to talk about them.

We aren’t talking about becoming a teenager here, but the hard work and challenges that come with running a business. Owning and operating a company comes with many obstacles and, hopefully, many rewards.

DNS Made Easy experts tackle the five most common challenges and mistakes business owners run into while growing a company. Take a look:

Mistake #1: Plan for the best and forget the rest.

The website is up-and-running; orders and work are flowing in. Everything is going as planned. Then the website goes down. Downtime has a direct result on the bottom line. Take retail giant, Amazon, for example. The Seattle-based company went down for 40 minutes in 2013 and reported million in losses during that period.

Remedy: DNS Made Easy’s Elite Resolution Platform is a proprietary multi-tiered framework that creates localized server redundancy and scalability within the DNS Made Easy enterprise IP Anycast+ server constellation.

That means DNS Made Easy’s Automatic DNS Failover & System Monitoring solution can guarantee as soon as a website, service, or internet connection is offline, all traffic will be automatically pointed over to a secondary IP address, server, or provider set up at another location. DNS Made Easy offers the best uptime in the industry.

Mistake #2: The “I must do it all” attitude.

This symptom typically occurs when there is a lot that needs to be done combined with a lack of coordination and unclear roles. Running a business is a multi-faceted job and being all things to all people and doing all things in all jobs doesn’t cut it for long. This strategy might work to start a business, but it doesn’t work to grow one.

Remedy: Share the responsibility. Let DNS Made Easy monitor your systems for the business. Our system will check every two-to-four minutes to ensure a business’ primary IP is responding. If it isn’t, DNS Made Easy will notify the administrator immediately and take action to reroute the IP address until the issue is remedied. DNS Made Easy believes having zero downtime is expected and required in the DNS business.

Mistake #3: Growing alone.

This mistake piggy backs on mistake #2. Failing to see what’s in your blind spots, not interacting with like-minded people and ignoring advice all creates a business vacuum. And we all know from 8th grade science, nothing grows in a vacuum.

Remedy: DNS Made Easy doesn’t want you to face your issues alone. That’s why we created 24-7 support via online or telephone.

Mistake #4: Not using technology to your advantage.

Writing notes by hand on college-ruled paper might work in the short-term, but a thriving business needs to utilize all aspects of technology to stay on top. Gone are the days of the card catalog filing system and in are the technology times.

Remedy: DNS Made Easy operates Internet backbones with the largest and most reliable data providers in the business. Providing answers to each DNS request with complete redundancy is what we guarantee for each of the 8 billion DNS requests we receive each day. DNS Made Easy knows managing our full network from contract, to rack, to router, to switch, to name server is the only way to fully manage and optimize it for speed, redundancy, and scalability. We handle 100% of network management in-house.

Mistake #5: Not maintaining costs.

Expenses can quickly get out of hand. Business loans and growing costs add up fast, which is why keeping a handle on expenses is important early on.

Remedy: DNS Made Easy starts our services package at .95 per year for a small business. That includes 5 million queries per month, two-factor authentication, 10 domain names and more.

Bimini LLC Launches Additional Bimini’s Best™ Dog Health Treats; Made in the USA

(PRWEB) June 04, 2014

Pet owners worried about the recent news of tainted treats and those who are looking for alternatives to treats made with “filler” ingredients should know that Bimini’s Best™ treats are made in their entirety in the USA, with only three human grade organic, gluten-free ingredients and a vitamin. The new treats contain organic oats and either organic apples and organic cranberries with the anti-oxidant nutrient vitamin E or organic sweet potatoes and organic apples with the anti-oxidant nutrient vitamin E. The treats are also low fat, corn and soy free. For the smaller dog, or dogs requiring a lower caloric intake, Bimini LLC has announced the release of all four of their dog health treat flavors in smaller bite versions – their Petite Dog line.

Only three simple ingredients plus a vitamin have led to rave reviews from dog owners. Said Ken Mulliken, owner of Foster, an Australian Shepherd, in Ashland, Oregon, “He likes all four flavors equally. The fact that he will eat any of them came as a real surprise because I have never had him eat other treats. Usually he just looks at them and then gives me a look like, “You’ve got to be kidding me!” There is something special about yours that makes him want to eat them.”

All the treats and the company’s health supplements are available for purchase from the company’s website, http://www.biminipethealth.com and from http://www.amazon.com. The products are also available from many reputable independent pet stores (for a store near you please see http://www.biminipethealth.com/pages/retailers). The new flavors and Petite Dog treats add new lines to Bimini’s product catalog, joining their existing treat flavors and health supplements for Dog Hip and Joint Health and Cat Kidney Health all under the Bimini’s Best™ brand. “The two new treat flavors as well as our petite versions are exciting new additions for the company and represent only one small step in our future vision for growth of Bimini,” according to Managing Director, Dr. Sam Al-Murrani, who is looking forward to introducing more products soon. He encourages any retailer interested in stocking their products or interested distributors to contact the company through their website or by calling 800-948-9089.
