Question by Me: Does anyone have any good suggestions on hosting a murder-mystery dinner party for 8+ people?
Any good experiences with certain websites? Certain “games”? That sort of thing. For my 21st birthday party, I’m hosting a murder mystery party and I’m wanting some feedback on what worked best for them. Anyone in my age range that had one that everyone was laughing at and felt really suited them? Let me know ANY information or websites you found useful! Thank you!

Well, I haven’t actually went on to any websites, but one thing I tried with my friends a year or two ago was quite fun…

We basically took a plot out of a detective story, cut it short, grabbed a mannequin, dressed it up, drew a chalk line around it, “cordoned” it off with rope and made it the “scene of crime”. Then we scattered evidence around the place, gave each participant a magnifying glass and a small notebook.

It was quite fun really, since we had a lot of space to ourselves – mainly at our house, the back garden and the patio and the attic, where the “crime” was commited. We also had people pretend to be “forensic” scientists to give data reports and autopsy results and policemen who could give additional details of the scene of the crime. They had to crack the crime before a set time. The one who cracked it the earliest got a prize.

Well, it did suit us, but then we needed a lot of extra help – and a lot of planning and shopping beforehand (we borrowed a mannequin from my friend’s boutique), but I hope you can draw a bit of inspiration from this.

Understanding the Method of Making Money Through Web-hosting Service

Web hosting can be considered as a subscription oriented business. Once a customer subscribes to your hosting service, you will then earn constant money, on a monthly basis and that too with no additional investment from your side. If you don’t have the right quantity of money towards a web hosting business, then in that case, you can start a reseller web hosting business for a far lesser price. You will then comfortably be able to offer the reseller hosting package, along with the whole seller free and domain name registration facility. On the other hand, investing in a web hosting business through the traditional way will involve huge investment whereby you would be investing big time money towards purchasing the equipment and software. Hence, starting a reseller web hosting business is the right choice.

Starting a reseller web hosting business is a better option to earn money. A reseller hosting account involves a particular web hosting plan, by which the reseller can buy the hosting service at a discount or at a wholesale rate and then offer the same hosting service to a third party. Resellers of web hosting plans are nothing but entrepreneurs who act as middleman. Resellers of web hosting plans basically lease their hosting service from another web host’s server rather than taking the pains to purchase and maintain their own equipment. By this way, a seller saves on basic investment over heads. This is because a reseller who deals with web hosting service, don’t have to worry about maintaining equipment or software. In case there arise any problem with the server, it is the whole seller who will resolve the issue, not the re-seller. The customer will not be aware as to who actually restored the server issue.

A reseller web hosting business can be conducted from anywhere around. The basic criteria required for a web hosting business is the internet access. If you want to be successful in your web hosting business, you need to think local. Check for new customers who are around you. In other words, look out for customers at your workplace, your neighborhood, friends and relatives too. You could also find customers from your cell phone numbers and email contact list. This is a simple idea of fishing for customers who are within your source of contact. You can promote your web hosting business by posting on relevant blogs, forums and using text link ads. You can send your company related information through news letters to targeted customers. You can also have a website, containing various sections, in the form of advertisements. Your visitor will then select on the appropriate advertising section of interest and thereby get access to more information about the concerned web hosting package and thus be tempted to buy what they need. By this method, you are actually helping your visitors to narrow down their search and be able to select a package that is suitable for their business.

A reseller web hosting business can be started by a person who knows basic windows experience. You don’t have to be an expert in java developer or any kind of software programming expert. When you enter into the reseller web hosting business, it is important to know the reliability and the credibility of the company. Otherwise, you can be in losses and ultimately end up in subsequent closure of your reseller hosting account. I would like to conclude this article by encouraging you to take up a re-seller web hosting business which involves a very small investment plan. The investment is in the form of a monthly or yearly fee for availing this opportunity of conducting the concerned reseller web hosting business.
