Getting a sweet deal from SoftLayer
SoftLayer is our preferred vendor for dedicated servers. Their hardware, control panel, support and infrastructure is arguably the best of any hosting company.
SoftLayer does not offer the cheapest rates … infact most of their competitors have lower pricing slabs and I know a lot of people for whom cost is a significant factor in choosing the hosting partner… good for them! Compromising on server infrastructure is NOT an option for us.
They always have some offers running, but it may not be what you are looking for; infact the published discounts are not always significant. What I generally do is talk/chat to their Sales and check the possibility of getting significant discounts on their listed price. More often than not I do manage to get some sweet deals from SoftLayer and every server we have have with them is truly value for money!
Tip:
- Go to softlayer.com, choose a server with your desired configuration and generate a quote
- Find “Frank Y” on SoftLayer’s live chat. Give him your quote ID. Frank will likely give you an aggressive discount … if you negotiate correctly, upto 25% on the quote!
- If you’re building a high-end server (upwards $1,000 / month) you can connect with Frank via email: fybarra at softlayer.com
Please let him know that you were refer ed by the folks at DoubleSpring

Why Interacting with a Pretty Woman Can Leave Men “Cognitively Impaired”
Movies and television shows are full of scenes where a man tries unsuccessfully to interact with a pretty woman. In many cases, the potential suitor ends up acting foolishly despite his best attempts to impress. It seems like his brain isn’t working quite properly and according to new findings, it may not be.
Researchers have begun to explore the cognitive impairment that men experience before and after interacting with women. A 2009 study demonstrated that after a short interaction with an attractive woman, men experienced a decline in mental performance. A more recent study suggests that this cognitive impairment takes hold even w hen men simply anticipate interacting with a woman who they know very little about.
