You don't have to buy anything, it's quiet, unlimited free wifi, AC/Heat, convenient and I don't smell like food when I leave. Most local libraries have state of the art connectivity to large-screen monitors and meeting rooms for free to the public. SLGD services a large base of clients that are small businesses and solo entrepreneurs that work from their homes. So it's best to meet elsewhere. SLGD provides small business marketing, advertising and...

A business plan is a road map. It's a living document. All the things you put in a business plan will be your mission, your purpose, all of your thoughts, ideas,...

SLGD got a notice that a client’s website bandwidth had exceeded to over 13GB of bandwidth. Hosted bandwidth is when people visit your website, they download your website to their computer into what's called cache. This is a normal computing process. Say if a visitor visits your website and goes to every page on your website and your website is 100 MBs you multiply that by how many visitors you get in a month and that gives you your total bandwidth for the month.
