Types of Phishing Attacks and How They Work

Phishing attacks have existed since the dawn of the internet. It happens when cybercriminals send someone an email that looks like it came from a trusted source and use social engineering techniques to persuade them to click on a link, download a document or share sensitive information.  According to MCMC, most of the phishing attacks in Malaysia targeted internet banking users and tricked them into revealing their credentials such as personal information, credit card number, account number, or login name and password. Despite being around for nearly three decades, the pandemic has seen 65% of Malaysians report a surge in phishing emails addressed at employees, proving it to be an efficient cyberattack strategy. Phishing has the potential to bring severe harm and financial loss to those who fall prey to it. Therefore, everyone should be aware of phishing in order to protect themselves and keep their work email secure. Phishing begins with a falsified email or other forms of communication intended to entice a victim to divulge personal information. In order to appear trustworthy, the communication must appear to have come from a reputable source. If the victim is duped, they will be coerced into providing personal information, which is frequently done through a bogus website. In addition, malware is occasionally downloaded onto the computer of the target. Identifying a group of people who they wish to target is the first step for cybercriminals. Then they send email and SMS messages that appear legitimate but contain dangerous links, attachments, or lures that trick their intended recipients into performing an unknown and potentially dangerous act on their behalf.  Email phishing  Deception phishing, or email phishing, is one of the most common types of attacks. Using social engineering techniques, malicious actors impersonate a legitimate company and encourage users to click on a link or download a document. Character substitution is also common in email pishing, such as replacing the letter “m” with the letter “rn.” Usually, the links would lead to websites that would either steal a user’s credentials or install harmful code known as malware. When the victim opens the document, usually a PDF, the malicious code will be automatically installed, infecting their computer with spyware and adware. So, for the most part, it’s best to double-check any email address that asks you to click on a link or download an attachment as a general guideline. Spear phishing On the flip side, Spear phishing targets a small group of people. Fraudsters use this tactic to trick the recipient into believing that they have a personal connection with the sender by tailoring their attack emails with the target’s name, position, company, work phone number, and other information. This allows attackers to tailor their messages and appear more authentic. This type of phishing attack is frequently used as the first step in an organised attack against a specific company.  Whaling Whaling occurs when an assailant targets a “big fish,” like a CEO. Attackers commonly spend considerable time profiling their targets in order to find an ideal opportunity and method for stealing login information. Whaling is especially concerning because high-level executives have access to a wealth of critical firm information. Whaling attacks are even more targeted as they specifically aim to take out high-ranking officials in corporations and government agencies. As with any phishing attack method, whaling has the same end goal but is carried out in a stealthier fashion. Smishing and Vishing Smishing and Vishing are phishing scams perpetrated by using a phone. In both smishing and Vishing, phone calls and text messages have replaced email as the primary means of communication. However, smishing involves criminals sending text messages (the content of which is similar to email phishing), whereas Vishing consists of a telephone conversation. In Vishing, the attacker usually poses as a customer service representative or an employee of your company in order to gain access to information. New hires are the most common victims of these scams, but they can affect anyone. Cybercriminals often employ the same tactics regardless of the technology they are targeting. Smishing is the practice of sending text messages that ask someone to do something. People are tricked into providing their personal information by sending them a malicious text message that contains a link to a malicious website.  A company’s or an individual’s personal and professional life can be negatively impacted by phishing. Examples of personal phishing threats and threats at work are: Nobody wants to fall prey to a phishing scam. However, there are a few things you can do to reduce your chances of succumbing to it. For starters, you should educate yourself on what phishing attacks look like and stay up to date about new pishing techniques.  Always think before you click on a link or download a document. The essence of phishing is tricking people into clicking a link or providing sensitive information through social engineering. So, make sure to check the source and see if it is legitimate and NEVER give out personal information to illegitimate sites.  On the IT side, you can install an Anti-Phishing add-on, install a firewall, and have a Data Security Platform to spot signs of an attack. But, remember, there is no single fool-proof way to avoid phishing attacks!

SEO vs PPC: Which Is Better for Businesses in Malaysia?

One of the biggest misconceptions many people have about Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is that it is similar to Pay-Per-Click (PPC). Although both benefit your website’s visibility and brand awareness, there is a massive difference between the two. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is a process where a website uses specific keywords or phrases and other SEO strategies to gain rank in search engine results like Google and Bing. SEO is a long-term strategy targeting organic search results on search engines. Pay-Per-Click (PPC) marketing is a form of online marketing where advertisers pay a fee each time their ads are clicked. Advertisers must bid for ad placement in a search engine’s sponsored links when someone searches for keywords related to their products and services. The main difference between SEO and PPC is their purpose. SEO aims to earn a ranking on search engine results by targeting organic traffic, while PPC aims to buy rankings on search engine results. PPC links will appear on top of the page, above organic listings. However, most users usually click on the organic results. You can identify a PPC advertisement easily because the word Ad is shown along with the link on search engine results. SEO – Organic clicks from SEO are free, which means that when your website is optimised and appears on the top of the search engine, people can click on the link without you having to pay anything. PPC – A certain fee will be charged when someone clicks on your link. However, the cost per click might vary based on your bidding, keyword use and more. SEO takes at least 3 months to start seeing significant results, whereas you can see instant results when using PPC. Even though you can see fast results through PPC, your search engine ranking might be affected when you stop paying for it. On the other hand, SEO takes more time because it is a gradual process to build a substantial base. SEO is cheaper and more reliable compared to any other marketing tool. Although it may take more time to achieve first-page ranking, SEO is the best traffic channel with the highest ROI compared to other paid marketing tools, including PPC. However, you can also gain high ROI with an effective PPC campaign. Organic rankings have more extended staying power. That is because an SEO specialist will conduct ongoing optimisation and testing for your website to ensure that your website has a high search engine ranking. For PPC, your website ranking on a search engine might drop when your PPC campaign ends. In order to choose either SEO or PPC for your business, you need to know what your goals and objectives are. Your budget will also play a significant role in deciding the best plan for your business. In short, SEO is the best choice if you want a long-term strategy with staying power, and PPC is best for short-term strategies such as seasonal campaigns. Check out our SEO service if you’re interested in purchasing an SEO plan for your business in Malaysia. Shinjiru provides SEO solutions at a super affordable price, starting from as low as RM44.50 a day for 6 months.

Master The Art of Working from Home: 3 things you should avoid

Malaysia has been in full lockdown since June 2021 due to the increasing numbers in Covid 19 cases. This was the third lockdown Malaysians faced after the first lockdown in March 2020 and the second lockdown in January 2021. Many offices are not allowed to operate during the lockdown. Thus, companies from various industries have decided to implement the working from the home method as it is the only viable alternative to keep afloat and sustain their businesses. The work-from-home culture was quite a foreign practice in Malaysia before the Covid 19 pandemic in 2020. Most of us are still getting used to the new norm, affecting our mental and emotional health. Between being couped up at home and the fear of going outside, many of us have faced many mental health challenges affecting other parts of our lives, especially our physical health. According to statistics provided by the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH), a total of 145,173 distress calls were received by government agencies from the 25th of March 2020 until the 20th of May 2021. 85.5% of the calls were related to mental health issues that required emotional support and counseling, such as acute stress, anxiety, depression, abuse, and suicidal behaviour. Imagine how the statistics would look like starting June 2021. However, we at Shinjiru care about your mental health, and here, we share 3 things to avoid while working at home. As much as it is a comfortable spot, the couch is one of the places you should avoid working on. It is not conducive and can hinder your productivity. Efficiency is key, and working from a place where non-work duties reign supreme is a bad idea. Instead, create a small office-like corner in your home where you know you will only use once you clock in and stop using once you log off. This will help you with your work and life balance and safe separation between a space for work and leisure. Being able to do your laundry, sweep the floor, and clean the bathroom is suddenly within reach; therefore, it is tempting to skimp on your work-time to do your chores. Why wait for the weekend when you can do it now, right? That is a big NO. All those chores take time, and because we are used to doing them from the start till the end, it can automatically interrupt the responsibility of completing your work tasks and lead to anxiety. Instead, build a schedule where you just focus on doing one chore every morning, i.e., sweeping the floor or doing the laundry before work, and make sure it ends before you clock in for work. This will help with your mindset of doing less over the weekend, which means more time to relax. Just like you should refrain from doing your house chores during your work time, you should also avoid working until 11 pm. You are supposed to be resting and getting ready for bed because it can interrupt your body clock, lead to insomnia and mess up your cortisol which is responsible for your hormone balance. Alternatively, you should take some time to meditate, do a 30 minutes home workout, cook a meal you can look forward to, and just unwind. Our mind is like our body. It needs to rest in order to perform at its best. Doing the things you enjoy after a long day of work is like rewarding yourself and should not be taken lightly. Small steps of positive activities can increase your quality of life, especially now. Extra tip for those of you missing your colleagues or even friends and family. Tools such as Microsoft Teams and Office 365 packages that offer team collaboration are great ways to keep in touch at a safe distance. After all, human connection, communication, and interaction have a tremendous impact on emotional well-being simply by knowing that we are not alone and we are going through this together.

Being viral or trending is all that it takes nowadays to build your online presence in the market. Attracting users to be interested in what you are offering can be pretty easy if you appear just right in the vicinity of their eyesight. But how to do that? By matching the keywords that they are and are most likely to search for. This is where Google Trend plays its role. Google trend is an online search tool by Google that allows people to see how certain keywords have been searched in site engines in the past and present.

This is very useful especially if you want to analyze the market trend before starting the business, to see what people are currently interested in and what words they often searched for. By analyzing all these things, you can apply them to your own business and that’s how you can increase the engagement that you got. Google Trend works by analyzing a portion of Google searches in order to compute how many searches had been done for the terms entered, relative to the total number of searches done on Google over the same time. There are 2 types of data that can be accessed through Google Trend;  By knowing all this information, you can definitely learn the pattern of the market among the society precisely and more in-depth. Simply said, there is quite a number of things that you can do with Google Trend but the main one would of course be discovering the keywords that are popular among users to make your business visible to others. With Google Trend, you can gain access to a largely unfiltered sample of actual search requests made to Google, definitely precise and accurate. With the info that you gained from the search, you can increase the chance of being on the top of the search results. For first time users, using Google Trend can be quite tricky.

10 Features Every E-Commerce Website in Malaysia Needs

Building an e-commerce website is not as easy as you think. You need to consider a lot of factors to ensure that your site visitors are satisfied, or at least find using your website easy. Here are the 10 things you need to have to improve your branding and user experience for your e-commerce website in Malaysia. One of the most important things your website needs to have is your business logo. That is because your business logo is the face of your company’s brand and symbolises your company. Make sure that your business logo is displayed clearly on your website to strengthen your branding.  Have you ever tried to visit a website but the content just couldn’t fit on your screen? So annoying, right? When building a website, you need to make sure that it is compatible with all devices, especially mobile ones, because most users browse the internet using their mobile phones. You must also keep the design as simple as you can. Remember, less is more! You wouldn’t want visitors to get confused over the design and placement of your website. Ensure that you have the features all e-commerce websites have, such as a drop-down menu, filter, shopping cart, search bar, customer login, wishlist, checkout button and more. These features will help website visitors to find what they want quickly, without any hassle.  Get your website visitors excited by giving out special offers such as first time sign up offers, freebies, free shipping, and more. It is best to display a pop-up ad when visitors visit your website to increase their awareness of any offers you have. At the end of the day, it’s a win-win situation. Every e-commerce website MUST have an SSL certificate because you will be collecting sensitive information such as phone numbers, credit card numbers, and more. Most people usually exit a website without an SSL certificate because it is vulnerable to hacking and information theft. So be smart and purchase one for your e-commerce website now!  Customers want to know exactly how the product is going to look in real life. Make sure that the images displayed are high-quality photos with good lighting and taken from various angles. You should also add essential product information such as product measurements, product availability, care label, size guide and more. Website visitors are more likely to purchase your products if there are user-generated reviews, because it will help them understand the product better. Yes, it is scary because people can just leave a bad review but remember, you can’t please everyone. Plus, there is no such thing as a 5-star rating on all products because that’s just too good to be true. Conversions are the most important thing when it comes to businesses. Therefore, make sure that the final purchase step, the shopping cart, checkout button, and payment methods are easy to see and use. Show your customers all the essential details, such as the product name, price, and quantity of all the products in their cart. Also, make sure that your customer can choose different payment options, such as Credit/Debit card payment, Online banking, E-wallet and more. Customers need to know when and how to contact you about your products and services. Therefore, contact information such as email address, contact number and social media will help customers to reach you easily. On top of that, you can also add a store locator to help your customers find your physical store. Nothing is more annoying than not knowing where your parcel is after purchase. Everyone hates waiting for their parcel to arrive, so you keep your customers informed about their order’s shipping process. That will at least help them have peace of mind and start getting excited when the parcel is out for delivery. Get your professionally built e-commerce website with Shinjiru Website Design Malaysia. We offer all-in-one website creation solutions developed by our team of experienced web developers to provide custom-made solutions for clients who are serious about growing their online presence.

How To Spot A Work From Home Burnout And Take Action

The challenges of maintaining a work-life balance have led to employees suffering from work burnout. Work from home has been a part of the ‘new normal,’ especially after the COVID 19 outbreak in 2020. Most in-office employees were compelled to switch to WFH status to continue earning a living during these uncertain economic times. Unfortunately, the long work hours and burnout from the isolation and loneliness of the pandemic can affect not only mental but also physical health. This could possibly lead to other serious illnesses that could hinder the quality of your work. WFH burnout has been defined in two ways:  The World Health Organization (WHO) defines WFH burnout as an “occupational phenomenon or syndrome caused by chronic, unaddressed work stress.” The organization even goes so far as to add that burnout is an “occupational hazard.” The good news is, there are a few ways to assist you to overcome work from home burnout.  Imagine that you have a list of tasks waiting for you to complete them. If you’re anything like me, you want to get everything done simultaneously so it is all behind you and you can move on. Using the Eisenhower matrix utilizes different quadrants that serve a different purpose. Stephen Covey, the author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, popularized Eisenhower’s concept of time management matrix to determine the urgency of one’s task. Here is how the four quadrants work: Separating your tasks into 4 groups of importance and urgencies will help you finish your tasks efficiently, and you will not have to miss any dateline as this with help you organize. – Important and Urgent (Do) – Important but Not Urgent (Plan) – Urgent but not important (Delegate) – Not Urgent and Not Important (Eliminate)   Sometimes our daily tasks can be a little bit too much and overwhelming. And because we are so used to working at the office, we usually try our best to finish up any work independently. However, with the presence of colleagues around us, indirectly, we sometimes ask for their assistance or opinion. However, it is a different scenario when we are working at home. If your workload seems a bit too much to handle, try reaching out to your team member or leader and discuss the possibility of job delegation. You might be surprised at how many of your teammates are ready to step in and help you take some load off your shoulder.  Skype for Business is as easy as sharing a link. With one click, anyone can join your online meeting from any device. You can choose to meet right away or schedule from Outlook for later. The meeting URL is personalized just for you. One of the best ways to dial up a mood, mindset, or perception is by choosing music that brings out a specific emotional response. You can use music as a tool in your daily life the same way you use music when you work out or unwind and relax. Our emotional response to music is very individual. Not all “happy” songs are universally perceived as being uplifting or are guaranteed to put you in a good mood all the time. Some of us prefer to listen to podcasts. Whichever way to utilize your auditory senses to wake you up and give a bit of boost coffee won’t do, just go for it. Work burnout can be mentally challenging, especially when you have datelines and urgent tasks that require your attention, not forgetting last-minute matters. It can be equally draining whether you are living on your own, with your family or housemates. However, when you intentionally pursue a career, a lifestyle that blesses you with what you are passionate about allows you to maintain a perfect work-life balance.

Migrating to Microsoft 365 is simple with Shinjiru’s effective solutions

According to Office 365 IT Pros, there are 345 million users that have been actively using Exchange Online as of April 2022 with a whopping 9.2 billion emails transacted daily!  It is widely used because of its robust set of features and reliability, including data protection from cyber threats and tools for collaboration like calendars and task lists. Exchange mailbox is a type of email account that is hosted on a Microsoft Exchange Server and it is commonly used by businesses and other organisations to manage their email communication and collaboration needs. They choose Exchange for the fact that it allows users to send and receive email, as well as manage their calendar, contacts, and tasks. Business owners find it easy and safe to use Exchange because it is typically associated with a specific user account and can only be accessed by the owner of the mailbox or someone who has been granted access by the owner.   An Exchange mailbox is undeniably useful to communicate from one to another. However, there are cons you might want to consider before proceeding. Using Exchange as your main communication tool is indeed convenient for everyone to connect, but you have to remember that it is also vulnerable to be exploited by attackers including phishing scams. Attackers can send fake emails that appear to be from legitimate sources in an attempt to trick users into revealing sensitive information or installing malware. Furthermore, if users have weak passwords or reuse passwords across multiple accounts, their Exchange mailbox may be more susceptible to being hacked and attackers may be able to access sensitive data stored within it. This is very risky especially when you have a lot of important data kept in it. On top of that, it has very limited storage and this can cause a problem for organisations with large volumes of email traffic.   Many business owners are now moving from Exchange to Microsoft 365 plan. You’re probably not the only one who is now considering your company’s email strategy and debating whether to stick with Exchange Server or switch to Microsoft 365. Yup, that’s why you’re here. For those who are unfamiliar, Microsoft 365 is a cloud-based SaaS service provided by Microsoft that includes a full suite of productivity tools for desktop computers, such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, and Outlook, as well as server-based programmes like Exchange and SharePoint. Many people believe that Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online are two separate products. This is not necessarily the case, though. Microsoft 365, which is a suite of tools rather than a single product, has a number of products that are included, with Exchange Online being only one of them.  In any event, Exchange Online doesn’t compete with Microsoft 365; rather, it enhances it. You can always upgrade to Microsoft 365 later, for instance, if you decide to use Exchange Online as your primary email provider right away. Migrating is indeed a wise choice. Why? Unlike Exchange Online, if you opt for Microsoft 365, you will get automatic upgrades that protect you from newly identified security threats, built-in data loss protection, and adherence to security standards like ISO27001. In addition, Office 365 is a crucial tool for efficient disaster recovery. If something happens to your on-premise replications, you may simply access all the information you need by backing up your important assets online.  In contrast to Exchange Server, which gives you and other users complete control over the hardware and infrastructure, Microsoft 365 does not provide you direct access to both. The distinction may have an effect on how much control you have over system configuration, upgrades, and modifications. Again, small and medium-sized firms frequently see this trade-off between control and resource load as advantageous.  If the nature of your organisation needs constant collaboration, you might want to choose Microsoft 365. The software bundle includes a number of helpful programmes, including Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business, SharePoint, OneDrive for Business, and others. Your users may frequently collaborate online if your business is a service one, so Microsoft 365 is the best option in these circumstances. If you need help to migrate your data into Microsoft 365, Shinjiru has the solution. You can easily move on-premises Exchange Server data to Microsoft 365 with Shinjiru’s Microsoft 365 Migration tool.Visit our page for more details.

A Beginner’s Guide to Web Hosting in Malaysia

Everyone in the 21st century knows what a website is. However, many are still not exposed to web hosting and its importance even though it goes hand in hand with a website.    Web Hosting is a service provided by an IT company to enable websites to be visible on the internet. Meaning that you can publish your website on the internet only if you have a web hosting plan. Look at your website as your house and web hosting is the land your house is built on. It is not one without each other. Therefore, web hosting is compulsory if you want your website to be online.  Your website will be hosted on a physical server that can be accessed over the internet in the real world. The servers are kept securely in data centres, with a controlled environment. Maintaining a server is not easy nor cheap. That is why web hosting providers provide web hosting, security protection and more to their customers.  The most crucial role of web hosting is to provide storage space, security and uptime. Storage space is where all your website’s data such as images, emails, customers information and more are stored. Then comes security protection such as SSL and WAF to protect your website from cyber-attacks. Lastly, and most importantly, uptime. Uptime is vital for your website because it ensures a smooth customer experience. You don’t want your website to crash just because the server is down. There are many types of web hosting that you could choose from depending on the type of website, the volume of resources your website needs, and your budget. Therefore, understanding the types of web hosting will help you choose the right one for your business. Shared Hosting is a web hosting service where a single server hosts multiple websites. It is the most affordable web hosting, but you’ll have to share space and bandwidth with other websites on the same server. In other words, shared hosting is like renting a room in an apartment. You have other tenants residing in the remaining rooms and you have to share the common areas with them.  Shared Hosting is mainly for startup business websites, small business websites, blogs and other websites requiring small resources. If your website is new and you just want to test the waters, then you should purchase a Shared Hosting Plan.  Shinjiru offers Linux Eco Shared Hosting and Windows Eco Shared Hosting plans at super affordable prices in Malaysia. From as low as RM143.28 a year, your website will enjoy loads of beneficial features, including the One-Click Installer, complimentary SSL certificates and free data backup. If you’re looking for a perfect hosting plan to complement your small budget for your e-commerce website, then you should purchase a Business Web Hosting Plan. Shinjiru’s Business Web Hosting plans are 4X more powerful than an ordinary Shared Hosting plan and are equipped with a combination of 84X Faster LiteSpeed Technology and Enterprise-grade SSD. You can get the most powerful Shared Hosting Plan from as low as RM 180.00 a year. WordPress Hosting plans are made specifically to enhance a WordPress website’s security, speed, accessibility, and visibility. If you have a WordPress website or are planning to build a WordPress website, then WordPress hosting is perfect for you. Shinjiru provides optimised, managed WordPress hosting in Malaysia at super affordable prices. Your WordPress website will enjoy multiple luxuries, including 84X faster page load speed, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), free domain name, Anti-Spam Protection (SA)  and Anti-Hacking Protection (WAF) from as low as RM109.20 a year.  A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a small piece of virtual server that is sliced from a single physical server. Each virtual server has its own copy of an operating system (OS) and customers have full root or administrator access to the OS. They can install almost any software that runs on that OS. VPS Hosting is more like renting an apartment unit. It is private enough, and you have control over your server.  VPS Hosting is for medium-sized businesses or for businesses that are growing. If your website traffic is starting to exceed a thousand visitors per month and is facing latency, it means that your website needs a larger RAM. If that’s the case, VPS will be perfect for you. Shinjiru provides various VPS hosting options such as Forex VPS, VPS KVM Malaysia, Linux OpenVZ and Windows KVM in Malaysia. You can enjoy higher security, privacy, flexibility and more from as low as RM 19.53 a month! A Dedicated Server is a physical server dedicated to a single organisation. Unlike VPS or shared hosting, you’ll get a private server exclusively for your own use. It is the most powerful web hosting solution because you have complete control, administration privileged access, high privacy and super-fast loading times.  A Dedicated Server is the best option for you if you think that your website has the potential to expand and gain high traffic, if you want the best security and if you want a better website performance. You’ll also have more control over your server compared to other hosting plans. Shinjiru provides fully managed Linux and Windows Dedicated Server Hosting in Malaysia. You can get your Dedicated Server from as low as RM 269.90 a month.  Server co-location is a service provided by a Web Hosting company to provide physical space, power, security, suitable environment, network resources and more to house servers owned by an organisation or individual. In other words, you rent a space for your server from us, and we will give you all the essential resources to deploy your server in our data centre. Shinjiru data centres have fully redundant power sources with backup generators, redundant cooling systems, comprehensive fire suppression and best in class physical security measures. From just RM295.90 a month, your servers are in good hands. Cloud hosting solutions are deployed in a network of connected physical and virtual cloud servers that host applications and websites. It is perfect for you if you want a more accessible and faster provision for scaling your online operations up or down and comes with benefits such as reliability, high security, visibility, and many more. With cloud hosting, you only have to pay for what you use, preventing wasted resources and funds. Shinjiru is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) Partner in Malaysia.

The Future of Website Building: How AI and Machine Learning Can Help on WordPress

Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are two of the digital industries’ fastest-growing technologies at the moment. By the use of these technologies, we can now access information, communicate with others, and carry out tasks online more quickly and easily than ever before. It makes sense that AI and ML are now being used in website creation given their rising popularity. WordPress is a dynamic platform that has been used for over ten years to build websites and web apps. Adding these new algorithms and technology will surely change how we create websites. The integration of AI and ML into WordPress website development will be covered in this blog post, along with how this integration can usher in a modern generation of user experience, website performance, and entire digital transformation. We intend to arm businesses and website owners with the information they need to explore incorporating these technologies into the construction of their websites by examining the advantages, difficulties, and best practices of integrating AI and ML in WordPress. Find out more in this article.  Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the field of computer science and engineering that aims to create intelligent machines that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and natural language processing. AI encompasses a wide range of techniques, including machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and robotics, among others. Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI that involves training computer systems to learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions without being explicitly programmed. In other words, machine learning algorithms learn from experience and get better with time, making them ideal for applications that involve large amounts of data or complex decision-making processes. Machine learning is used in a wide range of applications, including predictive analytics, image recognition, natural language processing, and autonomous vehicles, among others.  There are several advantages to incorporating AI and ML, or Artificial Design Intelligence, into WordPress web building. By improving user experience, boosting security with proactive malware scanning, and using adaptive web design, you may boost conversions in accordance with the preferences of your users. Overall, integrating ADI in WordPress web development can help create beautiful, functional, and user-friendly websites quickly and cost-effectively, allowing businesses to focus on their core objectives.  By building a simple WordPress website, web designers create the foundation for later adding features and pages. In addition, many people have templates they utilise to get going quickly. The initial process may take some time, and understanding the client’s wants and requirements can also take some time, depending on the goal and features of the website. This is where AI and ML-based solutions can help speed up the process by recommending producing material, positioning content on a web page, discovering trends, and evaluating user behaviour to make the best decision. The website is still undergoing changes. Many website elements are changed by web developers based on user response and performance. But, AI and ML can assist with this by providing recommendations by examining complex models and data sets, which often require considerable time to go through a human. A well-designed landing page can boost sales and conversions, generating more cash and revenue for WordPress websites. Based on user behaviour, preferences, and search history, AI and ML can develop adaptive landing page designs. Users can receive content recommendations from machine learning algorithms based on their preferences, actions, and history, which improves engagement and offers a more tailored experience. For instance, Amazon’s cross-selling and upselling methodology is believed to employ machine learning algorithms and is said to significantly boost sales. With the use of machine learning, Netflix’s recommendation engine is once more functional. You can obtain more individualised recommendations for what to watch next by analysing previous films and television shows that you’ve watched. Keep in mind that you want to interact with your visitors and keep them on your site as long as you can. By offering predictive search ideas or automatically completing search words, AI and ML can be utilised to enhance search functionality and make it simpler for consumers to locate what they’re looking for. AI and ML can be used to optimise photographs, for instance, by compressing images to minimise their file size or by identifying and labelling images to make them more discoverable. AI can also organise photographs according to their position and importance, and it can dynamically reduce images while preserving the majority of their quality.  In a nutshell, using artificial intelligence into the design and development of WordPress websites can have a variety of positive impacts, such as better user experiences, enhanced productivity and efficiency, better data analysis and insights, and tailored website content. It’s crucial to take into account the technical, financial, and cost-related difficulties of incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning into WordPress. Notwithstanding the difficulties, the incorporation of these technologies has grown in significance in the creation of contemporary websites. It’s expected to advance to become a crucial component of website development. Businesses and developers can improve the operation of their websites and give visitors a more customised and engaging experience by utilising AI-powered WordPress plugins or integrating through APIs. In the upcoming years, artificial intelligence is a trend that will only gain momentum, therefore companies and developers should look into how they can use it to improve their websites and stay ahead in the rapidly changing digital environment.


Difference Between Shared And Dedicated IP

Each website on the World Wide Web is assigned a number or an address known as its IP or Internet Protocol Address. It identifies the site and tracks its location as well. Normally it is a 16 digit number or more precisely 32 bits. A site is identified and reached by the browser by its IP address. But the IP address of each site is not unique and multiple sites may have the same IP address. If more than one site has the same IP, it is called shared or virtual IP address. If a site has its own unique IP address, it is called dedicated or unique IP address. Let us see why and when it is necessary to have a dedicated IP assigned to a site. IP address is just like your home address. With a shared IP, you share your IP address with the other sites hosted on the server. Normally shared hosting comes with a shared IP. Its disadvantage is that you have no control over the other sites sharing that IP. In case one of them spams or uses black hat SEO techniques or something of the sort, the IP address gets blacklisted and your site becomes its innocent victim as well. Moreover your site cannot be reached by just typing the IP address in the address bar of your browser. The browser does some additional work to reach the correct site in that case. Using dedicated IP, you have the benefit of being approachable by your IP address which is unique to your domain. You can access your account by FTP even when your site is unreachable by its domain name due to DNS propagation or any other reason. Dedicated IP also yields arguably better SEO results as it ranks higher with respect to trust and spam cleanliness due to a standalone IP not associated with any misdemeanor. The most important use of Dedicated IP comes in case of SSL Encryption and secure connection. Transmitting data on internet is not safe these days. So sometimes it becomes categorically indispensable to encrypt data before sending it to a remote server. This encryption is known as SSL or Secure Socket Layer. SSL is a cryptographic protocol that provides safe and secure communication over internet. Setting up SSL protection on your site requires your IP address which should be unique in every case for that. If your site is of the type where customers buy certain products or services using credit card or any other mode of payment, they must communicate over the layer of security provided by SSL. It is to be kept in mind that there is a difference between dedicated hosting and dedicated IP. Dedicated hosting means your site is the sole consumer of the physical machine of the server your site is hosted upon. Similarly shared hosting and shared IP addresses are different things. You can have a dedicated IP address on a shared hosting as well as a dedicated hosting. The requirement and the need arises due to one of the factors mentioned above.


Why You Should Support Local Businesses in Malaysia

When you buy from a local business, you do more than simply help them out. You contribute to reducing our carbon footprint, supporting the economy in our area and more. In this blog, we will provide 4 reasons why you should support local businesses.  When small businesses are successful, the community and the local economy will gain benefits. Spending money on local business can generate multiple returns to the local economy. Locally owned businesses, as opposed to chain stores, recycle a far higher percentage of their sales back into the local economy, benefiting the entire community.  The money spent on local businesses will be reinvested in the community where you live and work, supporting important initiatives for the community and country. Local businesses frequently contribute to the community in different ways, such as donating, purchasing, or financially supporting other non-profit organisations.  Having the knowledge that your taxes are being reinvested in the community and the city will give you peace of mind when you’re purchasing something.  Nobody likes it when they have to pay higher taxes. Therefore, the best way to reduce your tax burden is to support local companies. Local enterprises make efficient use of resources as it is located in central places, reducing the demand for roads, sewers, and safety services. Furthermore, non-local enterprises typically generate higher taxes.  When you shop locally, you not only help to strengthen your local economy, but you also help to create more jobs. These new positions could go to your friends, family, or neighbours, especially those who would face far greater competition in a large market.  When the number of jobs increases, it will help the countries economy significantly. Based on an article, creating jobs helps the economy by increasing gross domestic product (GDP). An employed person will have the means to spend on food, clothing, entertainment, and a variety of other things in society. Locally held enterprises are more likely to buy their products locally, reducing the need for transportation and outsourcing. They usually take up less area, are closer to homes, and produce less traffic and pollution. All of this results in less traffic, less habitat destruction, and a lower environmental effect. While this may not have an immediate impact on you, it will undoubtedly influence your children and grandkids in the future. You can support local companies in many ways. If you need to buy anything, try to opt for local stores first. For example, you can prioritise local restaurants and coffee shops when dining out and, you can shop most of your goods from local suppliers to contribute to the local economy. As more local companies thrive, more new ones will spring up, making it even easier to shop locally in the future.

Shared hosting is suitable for businesses that are getting started small, and that do not require advanced configuration or higher bandwidth.  Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting Unlike shared hosting where users have to share basically… everything, this type of server put users into the same physical servers as others but with a virtual partition. Therefore, although these users are using the same space, they are still entitled to their own allocated amount of resources. That is why VPS Hosting is suitable for medium-sized businesses that are growing, they do not require that much bandwidth yet but are improving in that sense. Cloud Hosting As for cloud hosting, several virtual servers are used to host sites. That way, when one of them is experiencing any problem with traffic, it can be covered by the rest of the virtual servers. This is why cloud hosting suits big organizations and corporations as it is fast and efficient, with no downtime that can slow down the whole process. WordPress Hosting WordPress Hosting deals with a WordPress-optimized server environment to help your site to load faster and minimize potential issues. This hosting comes with various features that can attract customers such as pre-installed themes, plugins for core functions like caching and security, and other tools. Dedicated Hosting If you are subscribed to dedicated hosting, that means you have your own physical server dedicated to your website. This allows you to configure the server, choose your desired operating system and software, and customize the entire hosting environment to your specifications. However, this is not the same as having your on-site server. Although all of that, you can still enjoy the added benefit of getting professional support from your web host which is why this type of hosting is best suited for big corporations. Conclusion  Not many people know in detail about web hosting. Slowly but surely however, the awareness is increasing among the people, especially those who are interested in setting up their business online.

Optimising for Local SEO Malaysia: Critical Factors for Success

Local SEO has become increasingly important for businesses of all sizes as more and more consumers rely on online searches to find local products and services. However, simply having a website is not enough to ensure that your business appears at the top of search engine results pages (SERPs). In fact, a lack of attention to critical optimization factors can result in low search rankings, limited visibility, and ultimately, fewer customers. In this blog, we’ll explore the most important optimisation factors that contribute to a successful local SEO Malaysia strategy. By the end of this blog, you’ll have a better understanding of the key factors that can help your business thrive in today’s digital landscape. So, whether you’re a small business owner or a digital marketer, keep reading to learn about the critical optimisation factors that can help you improve your local SEO and grow your customer base in Malaysia.  NAP stands for Name, Address, and Phone number, and it refers to the basic information about a business that is typically displayed on its website and across various online directories. This information is critical for local SEO in Malaysia because search engines like Google use NAP consistency as a factor when determining the relevance and reliability of a business’s information. NAP consistency means that a business’s Name, Address, and Phone number should be accurate, up-to-date, and consistent across all online directories and platforms where it is listed. This includes not only the business’s website but also other online directories like Yelp, Google My Business, and Yellow Pages. Having consistent NAP information helps search engines understand that your business is legitimate and trustworthy, and it also makes it easier for customers to find your business when searching online. Inaccurate or inconsistent NAP information can lead to confusion for both search engines and potential customers, which can negatively impact your local search ranking and ultimately hurt your business’s online visibility. Therefore, it’s important to regularly audit and update your NAP information across all online directories and platforms where your business is listed to ensure that it is accurate and consistent.  Once set up, your NAP will be visible across a variety of sites. Take your time comparing the many NAP choices you are thinking about, as changing them after they are live would require a lot of work and can hurt your local search rankings. In addition to the name, address, and phone number, your NAP should also contain the following information: Consistent NAP information across all platforms helps to establish credibility for your business. Search engines like Google rely on NAP consistency as a factor when determining the relevance and reliability of a business’s information. By maintaining consistent NAP information, you signal to search engines that your business is legitimate and trustworthy. Apart from that, maintaining consistent NAP information across all online platforms helps search engines to accurately identify your business and improve its local search ranking. Inaccurate or inconsistent NAP information can lead to confusion for both search engines and potential customers, which can negatively impact your local search ranking and ultimately hurt your business’s online visibility.  A local citation is an online mention of a business’s name, address, and phone number (NAP) on another website, directory, or platform. Local citations are an important component of local SEO Malaysia because they provide search engines like Google with information about a business’s location and contact details. Local citations can appear on a variety of websites, including online directories, social media platforms, review sites, and blogs. Some common examples of local citation sources include Yelp, Google My Business, Yellow Pages, and local news sites. They are important for local SEO because they provide search engines with multiple sources of information about a business’s location and contact details, which can help to establish its credibility and legitimacy. They also help to improve a business’s visibility in local search results, which can lead to increased website traffic, foot traffic, and ultimately, more customers. It’s important to note that local citation consistency is also a crucial factor in local SEO. Inaccurate or inconsistent NAP information across different citation sources can confuse both search engines and potential customers, which can negatively impact a business’s local search ranking and online visibility. Therefore, it’s important to regularly audit and update local citations to ensure that NAP information is accurate and consistent across all citation sources.  Setting up a Google Business Profile is a critical step in local SEO. Here are the steps to set up a Google Business Profile: Setting up a Google Business Profile is a relatively simple process, but it’s important to take the time to optimise and update your profile regularly.
