If there is one hosting company I could recommend to my mother, it would be this company.  They have been our hosting company for years and have they have done nothing but provide us with excellent service and support.  They literally have 24/7 support and will work until your issue is resolved (I know as we had a major issue with our shopping cart that we just couldn't figure out.  They spent literally all night and the next day on it until they solved it!)  You can't get better than this.  So, we decided to partner with them and provide you an alternative to some of the other cheaper, not so good hosting companies.  Also, they offer a free domain with their hosting package.  http://www.jerpat.org/jerpatHosting.htm ~Patty

TraxTime is a product for any contractor that needs to keep track of time for multiple projects.  The great thing about this piece of software is that once you punch-in, you can minimize it in the toolbar below.  Whenever you need to switch from one project to another, you can do it from the toolbar instead of bringing up the whole program again.  I looked at several different "punch clock" software, and this one was my favorite (even Jerome approved!).  Go to the bottom of the page to download the free trial version.  http://www.spudcity.com/traxtime/traxtime.htm

 

myHours.com This is a great online time tracking software.  It is great for the VA or client that will be working with several contractors.  It has tons of great features and is free at the time of this review.  It allows you to connect to all of your contractors/subcontractors accounts and when they enter time, it automatically shows up in your account.  I use this for my whole team. http://www.myhours.com
