Yesterday, I stressed the importance of a domain name as anchor of business communication online. Note that I speak of the domain, not necessarily a site. Following that note, I received some feedback that made me think. Several people told me they lost their domain or have been “forced” to change, often changing host. In short, the domain name they had not provided the hoped-for stability. By analyzing these problems, I found the same errors due to lack of information that some unscrupulous traders are abusing.
To avoid trouble, but simply to observe two simple rules that I will now explain. Remember that forewarned is forearmed.
Before discussing the rules, I’ll be back for a moment on this notion of stability. Of course we need a Twitter account, Flickr or Facebook. But I believe in a commercial approach, these sites “fashionable” are used to find prospects and new customers. The problem is that, precisely because they are “fashionable” these services are changing … and change frequently. I lost count of the accounts that I opened on essential services that have fallen into disuse after 2 or 3 years.

If you’re a graduate or college parent with any outstanding federal student loans, you may be able to lower your monthly student loan payments by up to 42% just by consolidating your parent or student loans. When you consolidate your college loans, you may be able to extend the repayment term on your parent or student loans by up to 20 years. With that longer repayment term, since you have more time to repay, the amount you have to pay each month will typically go down.

If you’re a former student or a college parent with any outstanding federal student loans, you may be able to get up to 20 more years to repay just by consolidating your eligible federal parent or student loans. With that longer repayment term, since you have more time to repay, the amount you have to pay each month will typically go down. You may be able to cut your monthly student loan payments by up to 42% — just by consolidating!
Cut Your Payments on Your Student Loans by up to 42%

It’s crunch time for college students trying to secure the money they need for the fall semester. But with lenders continuing to suspend their student loan programs — the count now stands at 131 federal loan lenders and 30 private loan lenders — students may find themselves challenged to locate lenders that are still offering federal or private student loans.
In an attempt to help lenders be able to continue making new federal student loans, the government included a provision in the Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act, signed into law in May, aimed at providing capital for cash-strapped lenders.
Under this legislation, the Department of Education can buy federal college loans from lenders, thereby providing these lenders with the liquidity they need to continue funding new parent and Continue Reading »

Practically 99% of the students in the UK have got online student loan finance from DirectGov.
They offer a maximum student tuition fee loan of £3,225 and a maximum student maintenance loan of about £3500.
Seems like the obvious way to go right? After the fiasco that happened this year, people aren’t so sure anymore.
If it is possible for you to get a grant through the government, through low income/disability etc, then stop reading and get to DirectGov!Continue Reading »
