Sign up for the Blue Book's BB Bid program. The Blue Book is a free resource that is found in almost every construction office in North America. It lists contractors by trade and region. Visit the Blue Book website to get your company listed free of charge. As contractors begin to see your name in the Blue Book, they will send bid invitations your way. This is an especially useful way for out-of-state contractors to find local companies to perform work.
Complete the American Institute of Architect's (AIA) Subcontractor Qualification form No. A305. This form is considered a standard resource to help contractors and owners evaluate new subcontracting companies. You can find this form on the AIA website.
Visit contractors and ask about construction bidding opportunities. Provide them with a copy of your completed A305 to give them an indication of your company's abilities. Ask how you can be placed on their company bid list. Most contractors will send bid invitations to all contractors on the bid list automatically, so the more contractors that put you on their lists, the better.
Look online. Most contractors have websites, and often they will list jobs they are accepting bids for on their site. In these situations, they will often have plans and specifications listed as well. By sending your bid in on these jobs, you are getting your company name out, so the more bids you send, the better.
Check into state and federal jobs. Most municipal jobs are open to all bidders, and drawings can often be found on the organization's website. Check with your state to see what's available in your area. This is an especially good construction bidding opportunity for minority business owners, who often are in high demand for municipal jobs due to minority participation requirements.

What Is a Place Holder?In Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
If a domain name and Web hosting service are purchased before a site design is complete, a place holder can inform visitors of the upcoming completion of your site.
Considerations
When uploading a place holder, it is best to make it very simple. Your hosting provider may automatically upload a place holder until you design your site.
Warning
Be sure that you finish your design quickly, as visitors may never return if they see a place holder. Some websites never advance beyond having a place holder page, so be sure to state when your site will be complete.
Types
There are two types of place holder pages. The first is a simple HTML page uploaded by the page designer. This can simply explain that the site is under design and offer a target launch date. Other place holders are uploaded by Web hosting companies. These pages can include advertisements for their services and other similar domains for sale.
Expert Insight
Having a place holder can be helpful when designing a website. However, continue the development of your website to make sure the place holder does not become your permanent homepage. If your hosting provider offers place holder templates that include advertisements for their services, it is best to overwrite this file with your own page.

Differences Between SQL SQL ExpressIn Feburary 2016 08,
In Feburary 2016 08,
SQL Server can have up to eight processors and 2 terabytes (TB) of memory, while SQL Express has only one processor and a maximum of 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM, where 1 TB equals 1,000 GB. Also, SQL Express can have only a maximum of 10 GB of database size, while the SQL Server can have a maximum of 524 petabytes (PB), where one PB equals 1,000 TB. SQL Server allows for more scalability in its database because it has a lot of room to store data.
Availability
SQL Server is more readily available than SQL Express. In an unlikely event that the database gets corrupted, SQL Server provides more options for backing up the entire database. Mirrored backups and database snapshots that can capture the daily state of the database are available for SQL Server. This allows for faster recovery and restoration of data. Memory and processor support is also available for SQL Server in case of a server failure.
Security
Both SQL Server and SQL Express provide high security. They employ data encryption policies and build firewalls around the server to prevent data from being hacked or stolen. One difference between the two when it comes to security is that SQL Server provides an added protection in the event that the physical hard drive containing the database itself is stolen. With Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) it doesn't simply encrypt the database, but also protects the keys that are used to decrypt the database. It uses a certificate to protect the keys and, without it, the physical hard drive is useless.
Integration and Operability
SQL Server provides more room for integrating with other software products. It can replicate data for Oracle databases and supports Web services. It allows for easy exporting and importing of data from different sources, which is not available in SQL Express. The SQL Server can perform complex queries and extract information from large databases. It also provides development tools to edit and design the database. It's more programmable and suited for database developers because it provides all the necessary tools to customize the database.
