Free Mailing List Software

An E-Mail Newsletter is a great way to attract users to your website and inform them about new products. There are lots of mailing list softwares available on Internet but most of them either are feature less or are heavily paid. For instance many users will say MailChimp (www.mailchimp.com) is a great service for email marketing, but I found it a bit difficult for those who are not living in US, i.e. they often put your account on scrutiny and never revert back to you. Only way I found with Mailchimp is that you need to buy a Package. While if you have a small scale website and want some free service with total customization then you might find difficulty.

So here is a solution : Acymailing List

This Software is for Joomla (Only drawback that you will need your site in Joomla). It is a plugin which when installed will provide you a mailing list service.

All you need to do is to download this plugin from : Website (Download the Standard One as it is free)

Then install it in your Joomla (Using Install->Plugin)

Then you will need to enable one module i.e. Mailing List (This will allow guests on your website to register for mailing list).

You will be able to find a Component ACY Mailing and using it you can send various newsletters. There are some readymade templates and designing a newsletter is very easy if you know how to create article in Joomla as it is an article which will be sent to your mailing list.

You can create unlimited Newsletters and Mailing Lists with Different Users in every list. You can also see how many have opened the mail in stats, also you can send a test mail before sending it to the list.

You can manually add users in the list or send mail to all Joomla users and many more options to configure.

There are 4 types of Acymailing, but for most users the Standard one which is free is good enough. I have installed it on my website : Adityastar.com , and using it I am sending 2 different types of newsletter and my users are liking it.

Try and you will sure like it.

cpSync Backup Service

A very difficult task for Web Host and Web Masters is to have backup. Many website owners find themselves in a difficult situation when something bad happens and they loose their data. To help them here is a nice service by cpSync. Its easy to set up and both webmaster and clients can have their own backup.

From their website:


cpSync Backup Manager is a completely free cPanel® plugin developed to automate the full cPanel® backup generation for resellers and end users. By using this plugin, a reseller or a cpanel user can generate backup of all his accounts and send it to cpSync remote servers every day!

cPanel® users no longer need to login to cPanel® for generating a full backup, let this job be done by cpSync Backup Manager, everyday or every week!

cpSync has been divided as two

1. cpSync Backup Manager : This will backup all data including files,databases, emails, sub domains etc
2. cpSync DB Backup Manager: This will only backup the databases of ALL users or Selected users

In both cases, the backup will be generated and send to the cpSync.net servers immediately

cpSync Backup Manager is for every end users where as cpSync DB Backup Manager is only for the server owner.
If you are a server administrator/owner, install our free plugins for your users, see the Download tab for instructions. See the FAQ page to find out why you should install cpSync on your servers!

If you are a cPanel® end user or a Reseller, select one of the backup space package and purchase it. Once you purchase the package you'll get a welcome mail instantly, which contains username and password to access your backup account. You'll also get instructions how to activate the login.

How to Install Webmin on Linux Server (CentOS)

Many people are interested in VPS for their personal website and they don't want to waste money on cPanel or they want some cheap solution to manage their VPS through Browser.

I would recommend Webmin for this purpose. Its free and has a lot of features (known as modules) which you can install to improve server's performance, its also low on resource usage. It hardly requires more than 100 MB of RAM (On one of my VPS it is using only 40 MB RAM).

Here is a tutorial on installing Webmin on CentOS 5.

You will need to access your VPS by SSH and you need to have root access (To install Webmin)

Login to your VPS and then give the following commands :

First run :

yum -y install perl-Net-SSLeay

This command will install the dependencies for Webmin.

Then give command :

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.510-1.noarch.rpm
&
rpm -i webmin-1.510-1.noarch.rpm

Right now don't worry about the Version as Webmin has a very good feature of upgrading all the softwares on server using browser interface.

If there is no error then Webmin would be installed.

To access Webmin interface goto : http://serveripaddress:10000

Login using Root and then first upgrade all the softwares. Also install Usermin which will help you create users to access mail accounts etc.

To know more about webmin visit webmin website : Webmin

Copying Web Hosting Accounts from one host to another (WHM/cPanel)

There are two methods of copying your webhosting account from one Server to another. You probably want to do it because you need to transfer your website on different Server.

First tutorial is for Shared Hosting (When you have only Shared Hosting Account on both the servers)

1. Loin to your cPanel of the site you want to copy.
2. Goto : Backups
3. Download Partial Backups (Home Directory, Databases, E-Mail Filters, E-mail forwarders), you can take full backup but unless you have root access on second server its useless.
4. Now login to the cPanel of second shared account.
5. Goto Restore and Restore all the files you downloaded earlier.
It will take some time so don't hurry.
6. Then Change the nameservers of your domain name.

If you have root access on the second server, then you can try the simple method which is more effective.

1. Login to WHM on the second server using your root account
2. Goto : Transfers->Copy an Account from another server using account password
3. Now give the following details :

Server to copy from (ip or FQDN):
Domain Name* :
Username to copy: :
User's password: :
Give new account an ip address :
Permit fallback to old system (see above):

4. Then click on copy account
5. WHM will automatically copy the account from your old account and all you will need is to change the nameservers of your domain name.


The second method which requires root access is the best one as it transfer all the account files automatically and you will not need to edit your database files or anything. But if you transfer the account using First method then you might need to edit the configuration files of your database if your account username is different on previous site.

Some host provide you service of restoring/transferring your website from your old account, you can ask your new host to do it for you. He will happily do it (he can't do only if he don't have root access, that means he is also a Master Reseller/Reseller of some other hosting site)

If you face any problem then you can ask here.

Setting BSNL 3G on Samsung Omnia Pro (B7320)

I am posting this tutorial so that all those who want to set up their Samsung Omnia Pro (B7320) Mobile phone with BSNL 3G to do Video Calls and use High Speed Internet.

First of all you will need a BSNL 3G SIM.

Video Calls

On your Phone Goto : Start->Settings->Phone->All Calls->Band Selection
There you will see 4 Options.

Select WCDMA
(You will receive a warning that it will work with 3G network only)

Then if your cell is able to catch the 3G Signal then you will see 3G in the main screen of your mobile phone.

Now you can make Video Calls without any trouble.

High Speed Internet Surfing

Keep the Band Selection option as WCDMA

Goto : Start->Settings->Connections->GPRS->New..

Put the following details :
Description : bsnlgprs
Connects to : The Internet
Access Point : bsnlnet

(Leave other settings as it is) then save it.

Now Connect your phone on your Laptop using Active Sync or whatever method you use (Not much trouble right now)

Again on your Cellphone Goto : Start->Internet Sharing

Select PC Connection : USB (or Bluetooth is you want to use it by Bluetooth)
Network Connection : bsnl_gprs
Then Connect

Within few seconds your Mobile will connect to 3G or High Speed Internet connection, you will see 3G or H near your network Signals.

Now you can surf Internet on your PC/Laptop

Do check your Surfing speed on : Speedtest.net

The speed will vary at different places depending upon the Network Signals.
Speed I got is 256 Kbps as network signals are weak at my place.

BSNL 3G Service

Finally I got my 3G Sim working, I brought it on 24th Dec 2009, way before anyone on Shahjahanpur was aware that 3G is about to be launched. But unfortunetly due to one single mistake, I could not used it for more than 20 days, and when it was officially launched then I went to check with the Local BSNL Franchisee and with some trial and error attempts I was able to get 3G signal on my Samsung Omnia Pro.

Its not like that I havn't contacted BSNL Customer Care but they were worst, they never had any idea what they were talking about and how to solve a particular problem. Infact they always say my call is to be forwarded to 3G department when already it was forwarded to them. They don't have any idea to what to say, even one went straight to say that he knows nothing and his superiors also don't listen to them so its useless to call Customer Care. I think BSNL should shutdown the Customer Care Deptt.

But finally it worked. One problem still I am facing and that is Signal Problem, I am not getting 3G Signal inside my house so I can not use it when I am in home :(

I tried to use the Video Call function but sadly none of my know person has 3G Phone or BSNL Sim, so I asked one of my friend to get a BSNL 3G Sim today and then we can check the Video Call option.

The Mobile TV Function will also not work on Samsung Omnia Pro, so its another loss of having Samsung phone over nokia ones.

But when I tested its Internet speed outside of my home then the results were good, though not as claimed by BSNL (might be signal problem). BSNL claims to get 3.2 Mbps speed but actually I got 0.2 Mbps speed which is equal to 250 Kbps speed, and this speed is same what I am getting from my Sify Broadband connection. So its good for now, but I will check the speed at different places to find what the actual speed I will get in Shahjahanpur.

I will soon put the BSNL 3G speed result as well as Video Call result on this blog very soon.

A New Experiment for affiliate income

I am trying a new experiment for affiliate income. Its related with investing money in advertisement to generate some income.

To work with it, I am putting $2 in an advertisement network which has pay per click rate of $.05 and using one afffiliate code which has $.1 per signup.

If all the 20 clicks(which shall be generated using $2) converts into click then I will get a profit of $2. And if it worked then I can use it further.

I will post my experiencce here.

The only risk factor is Fradulent clicks because those which are genuine will surely join the affiliate as they are providing free stuff.

Lets see how it goes.
