A party can be extra special if it has a theme---especially one that the party guests can really get into. An '80s theme is great for young adult parties. The outfits are easy to put together and fun to wear. You can even decorate the inside of the bus in 1980s memorabilia---such as movie posters from that decade. A 1980s theme can make the party bus experience more fun without costing a lot more money. Some party bus companies, including Boston's Bustonian, even have special themed 1980s buses.
Magician
Children will love riding on the party bus, but they may need some additional entertainment during the ride. Consider hiring a magician to perform while the bus is traveling. Some magicians even have special tricks designed for party buses. Magician fees vary widely based on experience and reputation. Some party bus companies have partnerships with certain magicians allowing you to get a discuss rate if you book both.
Special Cocktail
Adult party buses are often associated with alcohol, play up the association by offering a specially mixed cocktail just for the occasion. If your party has a theme, choose a cocktail to match. For example, if you are hosting a Hawaiian-themed party, consider serving a pina colada as the signature drink. Most party bus companies will require all partygoers to show identification before getting on the bus, though, so be sure that all of your invited guests are of age.
Historical Tour
Put a spin on the party bus concept by hosting a wine and cheese historical tour of a city. Senior citizens might enjoy touring Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco or other historical cities in a party bus while sipping wine and listening to music. Alternatively, a tour of your family's hometown on a party bus could add a new twist to your next family reunion.
Miniature Golf
While a miniature golf course may not fit on the party bus, you can incorporate mini golfing into a party bus outing. Both kids and adults will enjoy traveling in the party bus to get to a miniature golf course, playing a round, and then hopping back on the bus for dinner and/or drinks. If you are hosting an adult party, be sure your guests have not had too much to drink prior to golfing.

What Is the Difference Between Internal External Website Hosting?In Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
Internal hosting for a website refers to a company possessing its own servers and hardware dedicated to its website's files and bandwidth. Everything is run and managed in-house, and all of the equipment, technology and support are provided directly by the company itself.
What Is External Hosting?
External hosting for websites includes buying service space and bandwidth capabilities from another company. Large hosting companies, ranging from Host Gator to Go Daddy and dozens of others, provide a variety of plans with different monthly fees. This enables businesses of all sizes to have a website without the need for their own equipment and resources.
Pros and Cons of Internal Hosting
The advantages of internal hosting include direct oversight and control. When everything is properly set up, maintained and scaled, it provides maximum reliability. Drawbacks include the upfront costs of purchasing servers and other equipment, as well as the need for IT staffing to manage and support the server and network. It requires special attention and care for installation and ongoing maintenance.
Pros and Cons of External Hosting
External hosting is typically cheap, and easy to get started with. Hosting plans for many companies start at $10 per month or less, no equipment needs to be purchased and no additional staffing or other resources are needed. Support and security are provided for the business as well. Drawbacks include a lack of direct oversight and the potential for increased downtime or outages depending on the scale of the hosting plan that's purchased.
Choose Based on Needs
No single solution will work for every organization or business. Choosing between internal hosting and external hosting for a website means thinking about the needs, resources and desires of the particular enterprise. Choose a solution that will be easy to implement and work with, and will provide the greatest range of benefits that the business hopes to achieve based upon its size and the nature of its operations.

How to Open an Online Radio StationIn Feburary 2016 05,
In Feburary 2016 05,
Choose an online radio hosting service to register or sign up. There are many choices, both free and at a cost. Consider features when choosing a provider. These will include the number of live listeners you can have at one time and whether copyrighted music fees are covered as a part of a subscription.
Download and install the software required by your service provider. For Ubroadcast, you must download 'Station Manager.' For Shoutcast, you need to download Winamp and the required plug-in. And with Live 365, 'Studio365' is required. The software comes with your registration or is free of charge.
Configure your software or online station account to your liking. For certain hosting services this will include naming your station, listing your station's musical genre or scheduling live shows, as in the case with Live 365's software.
Move songs to the software program you installed or, as with Live 365, upload your songs to your account through the software program.
Create a play list from the collection of songs you made available to your software program. Your play list should include enough music to cover the number of hours you would like your radio station to stream music.
Launch your play list or other programming to inaugurate your online radio station.

Is it Better to Host Your Own Server or Lease Server Space?In Feburary 2016 04,
In Feburary 2016 04,
When you lease server space from a Web hosting company, the provider handles the important tasks of properly storing and maintaining the server. Web servers must be stored in special facilities and thoroughly maintained to ensure an extended lifespan and prevent problems like overheating. If you were to host your own server, you would need to set up the server at home or pay the fees required to store it at a dedicated server facility.
Ease of Expansion
With a leased server, expansion merely requires putting in a call to your hosting company and requesting whatever it is you need -- whether it's a faster processor, more memory, a large hard disk drive or a bigger database. If you purchase your own server, you are solely responsibly for making these upgrades, meaning you must know how to open up a server, remove deprecated components and replace them with newer, better-functioning modules.
Shorterm/Longterm Costs
Shared and dedicated servers may be leased for as little as $4.99 to $99.99 per month, depending on the server's specifications. To set up your own server, however, you would need to spend at least $500, if not much more, to cover the processors, memory cards and hard drives. This doesn't even take into consideration the fees associated with storing the server at a data center, assuming you were to take that route.
Cloud Computing
Another option is to pursue cloud computing, a revolutionary form of data management wherein everything -- including hardware, applications -- is provided through the Internet via what is known as a 'cloud.' It's slowly gaining popularity because, according to PC Magazine, it allows 'companies [to] spend more money on infrastructure and less money on the actual hardware.' One limiting factor, however, is that like with shared hosting, you are essentially 'at the mercy of the provider.'
