As most of you already know, I LOVE regular expressions, and think they are great to solve simple and complex tasks involving strings.

One thing I usually need to do, is extract contents from inside HTML or XML tags.

Web hosting for cheap

I just came across this rather interesting Web Hosting guide listing reviews and prices per category. It features a list of the Top 10 best hosting companies along with their short descriptions and prices.

I particularly like the way they organized their list of web hosts, as they provide some useful information such as up time, reliability, ease of use, disk space and money back guarantee.

They also have a very intuitive search, where you can search by category, country, price and much more, so you can get a hosting package that is custom "tailored" for you.

Another very important thing is pricing. They have hosting packages starting at as little as $5.95 per month with 100mb disk space, and 500mb traffic. Perfect if you're looking to start your website.

you can also take a look at their tutorials, as they have some great stuff published there, such as how to publish your site, what the best tools are for ease of web development, and how to buy a domain name.

They feature a list of 200 approved web hosts with over 400 cheap web hosting packages listed. There's plenty of details about each of the packages, so there will be no excuse to start your website, and get into the interwebs.

Online gambling ratings

On-line gambling is usually a notorious topic for many people who use the web. Either because there's many frauds involved with it, or because gambling is in general something that should only be done by adults.

Considering those two satisfy the user, we need to think about how the software were actually developed, and you wouldn't be playing in an online casino where the software is tamed to give little or no payout.

There is a few things to look for when doing that. Companies who develop systems for Casinos need to certified by an organ called RNG, which stands for "Random Number Generator". This means that a third party auditor has examined their shuffling and randomizing practices to determine that players are receiving the exact same experience they would at a reputable land-based casino when playing at online casinos that use software from these companies.

There is however, a website who specializes in Online Casinos and has hundreds of reviews and comparison charts between all the most known casinos available in the interwebs.

An example of some well known online slot machines rvm can be found in this page, and there is also some introductory text on it, so users will be at ease when choosing the right service.

So, if you, like me, like to gamble on-line sometimes, this is definitely a very nice website to look at, as they can make sure you won't get scammed by unscrupulous companies
