3 Home-Based Businesses You Could Start for Next to Nothing
Copyright (c) 2009 Tony Mase
I’m frequently asked for home-based business ideas and my advice is usually the same…
Find something you *like* to do and turn it into a home-based business!
It’s really that simple. 
That being said…
Of all the home-based businesses you could possibly start, a home-based “service” business is one of the easiest to start as it doesn’t require a “product” and, depending on the service offered, usually requires very little, if anything, in the way of initial startup costs.
A home-based service business is simply one that provides a needed (the key word here is *needed*) service to individuals, families, small businesses, and/or large companies. Home-based service businesses run the gamut from mowing neighbors’ lawns to managing business accounts for large companies.
Besides requiring little, if anything, in the way of initial startup costs, because you’re already paying rent or a mortgage, utilities, maintenance, etc., and, at least initially, you’d be your sole “employee”, the overhead (in my opinion one of the biggest killers of businesses there is) of a home-based service business, by its very nature, is nil or darn close to it, thus enabling it to be profitable from day one.
And…
With the Internet as your potential customer base…
For at least some home-based service businesses anyway…
The world can be your “playground”!
To get your thinking started in the right direction, here are just three of the many home-based service businesses you could start for next to nothing:
Home-Based Service Business #1 – Virtual assisting.
Virtual assisting has become very popular over the last ten years or so. With little more than a computer, fax machine, telephone, and an Internet connection, which odds are you already have, you could perform various administrative and/or technical tasks for individuals, families, small businesses, and/or large companies.
The list of potential services you could offer as a virtual assistant is limited only by your skills and imagination.
Home-Based Service Business #2 – Transcription.
Transcription can be a highly profitable home-based business venture. As it’s far easier, less time consuming, and more accurate to record an interview, meeting, or seminar, offices and businesspeople are continually in need of someone to transcribe their audio or video files.
As a home-based, self-employed transcriptionist, your “job” would be to turn those audio or video files into a document.
Home-Based Service Business #3 – Ghostwriting.
Ghostwriting is simply writing articles, books, brochures, ebooks, reports, and more for individuals and/or businesses.
Using your writing talent, you could make a lot of money creating written works (printed and/or electronic) for others who need them, but don’t have the inclination, talent, and/or time to write them themselves.
If you’ve been looking for a home-based business you could start for little or nothing in the way of upfront costs and if you have a skill or talent that can meet a need, then a home-based service business may be just the ticket to freedom you’ve been looking for.
Tony Mase is a serious student of the works of Wallace D. Wattles and the publisher of the How to Get Any Business or Investment Opportunity for Just Pennies on the Dollar… or Less! ebook by Leo J. Quinn, Jr. that shows you how you can get any of those 0.00 to ,000.00 business or investment opportunities for as little as the cost of an email, letter, or phone call… http://www.bizops4less.com

Types of Linux Servers and distributions
A Linux server functions on Linux operating arrangement which is accustomed on UNIX and collaborates with assorted accouterments platforms.
What is linux?
§ Linux is a free, open-source operating system which uses UNIX as foundation and can bank up with abundant hardware platforms like x86, x64CPUs.
§ Linux OS has steadiness, abidingness and is awfully able with admirable networking and software development applications.
§ Linux is advised to be an outstanding and analytic priced agent if compared to abounding added other operating systems.
§ Linux has foremost addition as server operating arrangement and in affairs area where internet is concerned.
What is server?
§ It is a computer which is affiliated to an arrangement area it waits to acknowledge to client’s requests.
§ It corresponds with absolute apple all the way through its arrangement wire.
§ There are abundant server programs active at already which allows the server to acknowledge to any affectionate of appeal accordingly and swiftly.
Linux servers are less pricey if compared to Microsoft servers; appropriately they are advised to be aggressive backup to them. Linux servers go one bigger than Windows NT and abounding added UNIX systems. Abounding arch businesses use Linux servers for their able arrangement performance.
Linux servers are a accumulated amalgamation offered by abounding companies out there and not endemic by any individual person, back it is still beneath development admitting humans are application it. Few acclaimed versions of Linux servers are:
Red Hat – Red Hat Linux is key ability in following for advice hub arbor space. It ability even be accessible that it is backed by ample server accouterments vendors like IBM, HP and Dell. This is recommended if a being mulls over application Linux servers in their aggregation because its best accouterments backing.
Ubuntu – These Linux servers outdoes all added distributions with its simple installing action to its outstanding accouterments apprehension to its best bankable support. Lean, fast and powerful, Ubuntu Server delivers casework reliably, predictably and economically – and it calmly integrates with your absolute infrastructure.
SUSE – People, who charge Linux servers for baby scaled businesses or home needs, go for this server. It apparel added for aboriginal time analysis admitting it supports beefy servers.
Linux distributions have been acclimated as server operating systems, and accept risen to bulge in that area; Netcraft appear in September 2006 that eight of the ten a lot of reliable internet hosting companies ran Linux distributions on their web servers.(since June 2008, Linux distributions represented 5 of the top ten, FreeBSD three of ten, and Microsoft two of ten; back February 2010, Linux distributions represented six of the top ten, FreeBSD two of ten, and Microsoft one of ten.)
Linux distributions are the cornerstone of the LAMP server-software aggregate (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python) which has accomplished acceptance a part of developers, and which is one of the added accepted platforms for website hosting.
Linux distributions have become more acceptable on mainframes in the endure decade due to pricing, compared to various other mainframe operating systems. In December 2009, IBM appears that it would predominantly bazaar and advertises mainframe-based Enterprise Linux Server.
Linux distributions are as well frequently acclimated as operating systems for supercomputers: back June 2010[update], out of the top 500 systems, 455 (91%) run a Linux distribution. Linux was as well called as the operating system for the world’s a lot of able supercomputer, IBM’s Sequoia which will become operational in 2011.

The Security of Web Server Software Programs
As with Web server operating systems, discussed in another article, “The more complex the Web server software is, the greater is the chance that something will go wrong.” Generally speaking, the more functionality and features that are provided by a Web server, the greater is the likelihood that there are security holes in the software.
Basic Web server software that merely provides access to static files is more secure than sophisticated Web server software that provides functions such as the execution of CGI scripts, the processing of server-side includes, the handling of scripted errors, and the dynamic listing of directories.
Web server software also differs in the degree of control accorded to browser users. Certain Web servers allow users access to only certain documents or directories or sub-directories, while some Web servers allow full access to everything. Some can be configured to allow access to certain directories according to the IP address of the client machine, or to individuals who know the right password. There are a few Web servers that offer data encryption, a necessity for e-commerce web sites. These are mainly commercial Web servers.
Here is some advice on how to make a Web server more secure:
- By their nature, Web servers have security holes. One of the most common causes of a breach of security is the CGI script. If you cannot get a CGI programming expert to check the scripts’ code, at least test the scripts to ensure that they verify the data entered by a browser user before granting access to confidential documents or any services provided by the Web server’s operating system.
- Configure the Web server carefully.
- Executable files should be allowed to run only in certain directories that you specify.
- Source code should not be stored anywhere where it can be downloaded.
- Automatic directory indexing should be switched off. If you use an external Web hosting company and you cannot switch it off, ensure that all accessible sub-directories contain a default file such as ‘index.html’ that redirects the browser to the home page.
- If you do not need them, disable Content Management Systems and other features that allow browser users to edit and manage files on remote Web servers, such as WebDAV, SMB, SharePoint, etc.
- Identify potential weak points by utilizing the security tools that come with the Web server software and the Operating System, such as the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Lockdown Tool and the URLScan security tool.
- Private and public information should be kept physically well apart. Confidential or sensitive data should not reside on the same machines as publicly accessible Web servers. Intranets should always be protected by a firewall, but extranets can be tricky, if you want to allow certain outsiders to have access to some private data. An extranet Web server should be located outside the firewall. (This is known as a “sacrificial lamb” configuration.) A variation is to set up paired “inner” and “outer” Web servers. Another possibility is to use a proxy, which intercepts requests and forwards them to the Web server, and then does the same in the reverse direction. Ideally, any publicly accessible Web server should be located on a machine other than that on which the firewall resides.
- A Web server logs all requests. Log files should be checked regularly for any unusual entries, and anything suspicious should be investigated.
- Users’ and user groups’ access should be restricted to only what they need. Set access levels and permissions accordingly by means of the operating system’s security software. For Unix systems, the Computer Oracle and Password System (COPS) checks for many common misconfigurations. (Network Administrators often create a user group called “www” for trusted users, such as Web authors, and only members of this group have ‘write’ permission for the document root directory and its sub-directories. For maximum security of the server root directory, which contains the system configuration files, the Network Administrator sometimes gives the Web Master a special “www” user status, the only one with ‘write’ permission for it.)
- Keep an eye on what users are doing on the network. Security holes can be created innocently by uninformed users if they install one of the many free Web servers that are readily available.
- Password policy should be sensible and adhered to. Simple passwords, based on birthdays or family names, etc., should be taboo. At the other extreme, the rules should not be so strict that passwords need to be written down in order to remember them. Passwords should be changed regularly, and default passwords should be changed immediately. Default accounts, e.g., “guest log-in”, should be eliminated. Extra care should be taken with privileged accounts, such as for administrators. Confidential documents, sensitive areas and administrative functions should always be password-protected.
- Security updates and patches should be installed immediately. This applies equally to the Operating System as to the Web server software. Automate these processes if possible, but, at least, be on the look-out for security alerts from the software suppliers.
- Any feature, server or interpreter that is not actually used should be uninstalled, or at least disabled. For example, remove the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server that Web servers usually provide, if you are not going to use it. Likewise, Trivial File Transfer Protocol (tftp), Network Information Services (NIS) clients, systat, finger, Networked File System (NFS), gopher, sendmail, and unneeded scripting languages and example scripts should go. For example, if the Web site does not use CGI scripts written in Perl, remove the Perl interpreter. Such items are just another security risk.
In summary, as can be seen clearly from the foregoing, whatever is not actually needed should be removed or disabled.
