Earn Money Whilst Streaming RUST PVE

There is a new Twitch Extensions for RUST PVE Servers called Havoc Hero, where your viewers can spend Twitch Bits on your stream that will do special effects to your gameplay, like Spawn in a supply drop to be nice to you or spawn in a bear. They can also handcuff you and empty the fuel out of your mini whilst you are flying it.

They can cause all sorts of Havoc, or they can be nice and be your Hero. It's great for shinanigan and making great content. It will bring your viewers to their knees in laughter at your expense. But the amount of money you could make via the Twitch Bits they spend will make all the pain worth it.

What is a RUST PVE server?

RUST PVE Servers are a new concept that is not widely supported by Facepunch, the developers of RUST. They have PVE settings built into the game, but they are pretty useless compared to the multiple PVE plugin developers by the modding community. As you may be aware, RUST is primarily a PVP game. One of the drawbacks of RUST is that there is no single player. So, if you wish to play the game, you must join a public server. Most of these are not monitored for cheaters or hackers, and to top it off, RUST is infamous for having one of the most toxic communities in gaming history.

So, if anyone wants to learn the game, it becomes tough and quite the exercise in frustration when you are constantly getting beat up. That is why a massive increase in RUST Mods has been developed. Not to mention, many event plugins keep the RUST PVE servers interesting. Since, without PVP, there isn't much to fight against. If you are new to RUST or enjoy the PVE side of things, we highly recommend joining the RUST PVE Servers below. 

How do we score the best RUST PVE Servers?

Most RUST PVE Servers have the same plugins. The RUST modding community can sell their plugins, so they have some of the best developers making some of the coolest and most well-optimized plugins. The main thing that separates the best RUST PVE servers from the worst is determined by the following:

How to connect to RUST PVE Servers

There are a few ways to connect to these RUST PVE Servers. The most straightforward way is to search for them in the server listings. All RUST PVE Servers are highly modded. So, they will be under the Modded section on the listings. But sometimes, the RUST listings can be finicky, and searching for the server by name might not always yield any results. So, the alternative is to connect to them manually via the F1 Consol. Both ways are demonstrated below.

How To connect to RUST PVE Servers Manually

If searching by name doesn't yield the server you are looking for, you can manually connect to all the RUST PVE Servers listed below by using the console command "Connect," followed by IP and Port.

As demonstrated in the image, you can press F1, and this console will drop from the top of the screen. To use it, copy the commands listed below, which are in green text, paste them into the console, and hit enter. This will manually connect you to the RUST PVE Server of your choosing.

#1 Salty Zombies

Salty Zombies not only have the best RUST PVE servers but we were impressed with them with a few other factors. Firstly, the other RUST PVE communities we will list below are dedicated RUST communities. However, Salty Zombies hosts the best RUST PVE servers but also hosts the best ARK PVE servers and a very popular Minecraft server. Being successful in multiple games is a tricky thing to do. If survival isn’t your vibe and you’re more into GTA roleplay, here are our top picks from the FiveM server list.

The main thing that caught our eye, though, was how fast their support team was. Like most gaming communities, their ticket support system is done in their Discord. When we created a ticket, the support team asked: "How can we help you?" before I could explain my problem. It wasn't an automated reply. It was a real person, not a bot, ready on standby to help. Within a few minutes, the issues were resolved. This impressed me immensely, and we haven't even gotten onto the actual server yet.

Salty Zombies has a very nice custom UI uniquely branded with a smooth and lag-free experience. They invest in high-level hardware, and the results are very noticeable. They also have RUST PVE Servers in multiple locations around the world. USA, EUROPE & ASIA. With over 100+ plugins and custom maps, Salty Zombies are quite easily leading the way when it comes to RUST PVE servers.

#2 Ragnarok PVP

Although Ragnarok PVP is infamous for its lawless PVP servers, they have a RUST PVE Server. It is a friendly & quickly growing PvE community that features many of your favourite quality of life-related PlugIns to enhance your experience. Enjoy the Raidable Bases, Events, Bosses, Bots, & Custom Attack Helicopters at your own pace. Chances for PvP arise during different events like Abandoned Bases and The Purge, which occurs on the last 24 hours of each wipe.

Quality of Life Features: Kits, Backpacks, Personal Vehicles, Virtual Quarries, Submersible Pumps, Increased Recycling Speed, Base-Wide Workbench, Trading, Auto Lock, Chest Stacking, Quick Smelt, Reward Points & Shop, Increased Stack Sizes, Teleporting, Homes & Warps, Upgrading + Building Skins, Repairing & Instant Barrel.

Inventory and backpack do not drop on death, except for Inventories being lost upon death during the Purge. Players are protected for two hours after logging, then are lootable & killable.

#3 Admin Coalition

The Admin Coalition is a group dedicated to teaching others how to run their own servers. As an example, they have popular servers that people play on. It just so happens that their RUST PVE server, which has a ton of custom plugins, is one of the most popular servers in the world. One of the team members is an active developer, so the maps and plugins are unique to them. They also have over 160 plugins that, when combined with the custom-built ones, provide exciting experiences.

Like most RUST PVE Servers, the Admin Coalition does force wipes, which means they are wiped monthly, on the first Thursday of every month when Facepunch update the game, forcing all servers to wipe. Another unique aspect of these servers is that you and your team can claim land, which you must protect against other teams. Yes, technically, this part is PVP. But it doesn't feel like the usual toxicity every day PVP that regular RUST servers are like, and if you don't want to participate, you don't have to.

#4 PRG

Primal Rage Gaming, or PRG as most call them, has been a gaming community since 2009. Like Salty Zombies, they host multiple games such as RUST, Empyrion and 7 Days To Die. They have a PVE server but with PVP at the major monuments. They do not have a huge variety of Plugins, nor are the staff as active as we liked. Nonetheless, the staff that were online were great, and the community was very friendly and helpful.

They hold quite a few events as well as well across all the games. The founder of Primal Rage Gaming holds his dedicated servers in his home. He mentions he has nothing but the best equipment for the RUST PVE Servers. However, it comes to a downside when their are power outages.

#5 Raiden RUST

Raiden is another superb RUST PVE Server that does bimonthly wipes (every 2 weeks). But with monthly BP wipes. Their XP and RP points never wipe, though. They have plenty of plugins to keep things interesting and have made custom monuments for a unique twist. They have a friendly, relaxed community and helpful staff. 

Final Thoughts

All these RUST PVE Servers are fantastic and offer various things to do. Most of the main plugins are used across all servers, just with different combinations of settings. The real difference between them is the key to running any successful RUST PVE Server. And that's the 3 categories we judged them by. Community, Team, Hardware and, of course, a decent server set-up.

If you are interested in opening up your own RUST PVE server, you will need a decent host, not just for the game but also to host your WordPress website, and all these RUST servers use custom bots to help them manage the servers and Discords. At OrangeWebsite, we offer excellent and affordable website hosting and high-end VPSs to manage your bots and player databases.

Whatever Happened To...

Whatever Happened to....?

Computers, the internet, and cell phones are such an important part of everyday life it is hard to imagine the world without them. Our computers now fit on our laps, our cell phones in our pockets, and we can seemingly pull the internet out of thin air almost anywhere. The road to get here, however, has been paved with some amazing, if not short-term, digital devices, programs, and web trends. We thought it might be fun to revisit some of these digital creations to discover what happened to them.

Mosaic - If you were browsing the internet prior to October 1994, odds are you were using a browser called Mosaic. Since Mosaic made it possible for users of Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, and the Unix X Window System to all use it, it facilitated more widespread use of the internet. There were four generations of Mosaic; 1.0, 2.0, 2.1, and 3.0. Although it made a huge impact, it was on the scene for only about 4 years. The creators of Mosaic, Marc Andreessen, and Jamie Zawinski, went on to develop Netscape. Today, Mosaic.com takes visitors to a sales and marketing company. Netscape.com, interestingly enough, redirects to America Online (AOL).

Floppy Discs – Before flash drives, computer users saved and exchanged data on thin magnetic discs called floppy discs or diskettes. In the mid-70's, large 8” discs were frequently used, eventually being replaced by the 5 1/4” disc and then the 3.5 inch disc. Subsequently, zip-discs arrived on the scene, being replaced with CDs and DVDs. Now, these too, are being escorted out by digital storage and file sharing services on “the cloud”.

Myspace - There are people who make things happen and then there are those who wonder “what the heck happened?” Myspace experienced a bit of both with its meteoric rise and fall. The social media website took the internet by storm in 2003 and in 2005 was purchased by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp for over a half of a BILLION dollars. So what happened? Some say that Myspace got too greedy tried to own it all, others say News Corp was too “corporate”. Others suggest Myspace was unresponsive to the needs of its members. What really happened was Facebook. Today, MySpace continues as a music, entertainment, and culture website, a mere shadow of its former self. Today, Facebook has over 2 billion members worldwide.

GeoCities – Members were able to build websites reflecting their personality and hobbies and millions of people did just that. GeoCities started in 1994 and at one point was the third most visited website on the internet. Yahoo acquired GeoCities in 1999 and the service was discontinued in 2009.

GameBoy – When Nintendo released its GameBoy portable gaming system in 1989, it quickly sold one million units. It was pretty basic with a green monochrome screen, and Sega soon competed in the space with its more colorful Game Gear system. They were multiple incarnations of the Game Boy including Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance. Over 200 million GameBoy units ultimately were sold.

FarmVille – Developed by Zynga and released on Facebook in mid-1999, it soon became the most popular game on the social media website, a spot which it held for two years. In 2010, at its peak, Farmville had almost 84 million users. After 2011, the game began losing active players. In mid-2011, it fell to 7^th place on Facebook's gaming list. By May of 2016, it was ranked 110^th in daily users. While the game has lost much of its luster it is still available and has been joined by Farmville 2.

Energy Gobbling Data Centers – Unfortunately, data centers that waste energy and pollute the planet are still a big issue in technology today. They have been referred to as “the steel mills” of the modern area. The United States Department of Energy says that data centers use 10 to 50% of the amount of energy of typical office space. Much of the energy used is not just to power the servers but in keeping the space cool to keep servers functioning properly. It is estimated that 10% of all the power used by the US Government is used powering data centers. This is a global problem that continues to this day but there are alternatives.

This year marks the 20^th anniversary of search engine giant Google. When Larry Page and Sergey Brin incorporated Google on September 4, 1998, Microsoft had just become the most valuable company in the world at over $260 billion on the NYSE, coinciding with the release of Windows 98. Apple Inc. unveiled the iMac and popular films of the year included Titanic, Armageddon, Mulan, and Saving Private Ryan.

Today, Forbes Magazine has Apple at the top of its most valuable company list at $903 billion, with Alphabet (Google) second at $688 billion. Microsoft is now third at $655 billion.

To help celebrate Google's 20th anniversary, we put together a list of 20 facts about Google you may (or may not) be aware of.

1. Brin and Page first met at Stanford when Page was first enrolled and Brin was requested to show him around. Today, Larry Page serves as the president of Alphabet, the umbrella company of Google while Brin serves as its CEO.

2. The pair shopped Google to Yahoo but initially, Yahoo showed little interest. In 2002, Yahoo offered $3 billion for the company. That $3 billion offer was rejected. Today Google is worth some 200 times that amount.

3. Google's simplistic homepage was the result of the founder's lack of knowledge in HTML. The company, known for its quirkiness, has stayed with a simple design ever since. One significant change was made in 2001 when Google centered the content on the page when it previously was aligned to the left.

4. The word “Google” was officially recognized as a verb (as in “I am going to google it”) in 2006 when Merriam-Webster and Oxford English Dictionaries both included it.

5. Google is presently scanning almost 130 million unique books and plans to have the project done within the next two years. They already have video of about 30 million miles of roadways via Google Earth. Google Earth was released in 2001.

6. Google was not the company's original name. It was actually called “Backrub” because of its initial heavy reliance on back-links to validate the popularity of a website it was indexing.

7. Gmail, the brand's popular free email service debuted on April 1, 2004. This had many people believing it was initially an April Fool's Day joke. Google says its Gmail has over 1 billion active accounts.

8. The “I'm Feeling Lucky” button on Google bypasses all the paid rankings, taking you instead to the most popular searches. It is thought this button costs Google over $100 million a year in lost revenue.

9. The word Google is a derivative of the word googol, which is the mathematical term of the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. While they are varying stories on how googol became Google, one popular one is that it was typed in that way by mistake when the original domain name was purchased.

10. Google's Doodles, which often recognize significant dates and holidays on their home page, got their start in 1998 when Brin and Page used the Burning Man stick-man logo to serve as a message they were out of the office. The pair were attending the Burning Man Festival in Nevada.

11. The original Google had 10 four gig hard drives. In order to facilitate anticipated growth, they were housed in a cabinet constructed out of Lego bricks. This original Lego cabinet is on display on the Stanford campus.

12. Google first delved into foreign languages in May of 2000 when 10 new languages were added to searches. It can now translate 27 languages.

13. In July of 2001, Google images were launched with 250 million different images. Today, it is estimated there are close to a trillion images available when conducting a Google Image search.

14. While Google has been hugely successful, many consider that one of its major missteps was Google Glass. Google Glass was wearable tech, that in theory, would keep wearers constantly connected. The trouble was, consumers didn't respond. Either it was the hefty price (about $1,500), the geeky image wearing the glasses portrayed or the invasion of privacy the devices almost promoted but it was quickly taken off the market. While Google likely gained tons of data and information from its users, it ended sales after two years in 2015.

15. Google Chrome is the world's most popular web browser with over 58% market penetration. They are followed by Safari at about 14% and Internet Explorer at 9%.

16. We've all heard Google is a unique place to work, particularly at the home of Googleplex campus. Worldwide, the company employs over 70,000 employees.

17. The top three search terms Googled in 2017 in the United States were TV talk show host Matt Lauer, rock singer Tom Petty, and Hurricane Irma.

18. Google's unofficial mission statement is "Do the right thing; don't be evil. Honesty and integrity in all we do. Our business practices are beyond reproach. We make money by doing good things.” It often boiled down to “Don't be evil.”

19. The colors of the Google logo were chosen for a reason. They used primary colors but instead of placing them in order, the secondary color letter was used for the “L”. It was another way for Google to express they don't follow the rules.

20. Google’s Mountain View campus is so large that associates have the opportunity to use free bikes to get to free cars. They can also take big Google buses to get to smaller Google buses.

Of course, when Google was incorporated it was the early days of the internet when the environmental impact of data centers wasn't much of a concern. Today, they increasingly consume energy and drain the planet of resources. At OrangeWebsite.com, we believe we are on track for the solution. Our Eco Web Hosting solutions are located in Iceland, a country almost totally reliant on 100% renewable energy resources. Because ours is a cooler climate, less energy is used air conditioning our facilities, a major expense for data centers. We encourage you to make the smart move to Eco Web Hosting at OrangeWebsite.com.

Benefits of Blogging for Business

Benefits of Blogging for Business

There are generally, three kinds of people.

1. Those who blog
2. Those who read blogs
3. Those that wonder why people blog

If you wonder why people blog, this may give you some insight.

If you read blogs for enjoyment, to get information or for camaraderie, you are among the majority.

If you are a blogger, you likely have a mission. It may be to just share thoughts and experiences. Many blog to create an income source and others blog as part of a content market strategy and for SEO purposes.

While blogging started as a homespun way to share thoughts and opinions, it is big business today. Some estimate that there are more than 300 million blogs on the internet ranging in subject matter from the care of your new kitten to how to build a home. Bloggers range from stay at home mom's to highly educated, professionals.

Why Do People Spend Time Blogging?

Many believe the reason people blog is to share their experiences for the common good of people in a specific portion of their life. While some bloggers are altruistic in nature and seek to inform the masses of the benefits of their experiences and knowledge, most have a more bottom-line focused motive.

Advertising revenues, page-views, click-thrus, name recognition, inbound marketing, content marketing, and reputation building are but a few. Google loves websites that contain blogs, especially when they are kept fresh and pertinent. This makes blogs valuable for search engine rankings. Blogging is also a powerful way to increase visitors, as sites with blogs get 97% more inbound links than those without. There are plenty of statistics that demonstrate the power of blogging. Blogs have been shown to shorten the sales cycle, positively impact the amount of inbound lead generation, and they build trust. They are a significant source of information as consumers move through the sales process. They hold much of their power because people read them.

Why Do People Read Blogs?

Generally speaking, people read blogs to gain information. That information may help confirm their own opinions or it may help them complete a task. People read blogs to gain insights and recommendations. They may be facing an unfamiliar problem in life and in search of solutions. Every segment of society reads blogs. Readers may be searching for help on everything from selecting a baby's name to finding the most exotic places to plan a vacation. Topics, content, and attitudes are unlimited when it comes to blogging.

The Overlooked Benefits of Blogging

While search engine rankings, clicks, and inbound links should be motivation enough to create and maintain a blog, there is a long-lasting impact blogs can have on a business that many pay little heed to. Blogs can position you and your company as an expert in your business segment and therefore brand your business.

Blogs will affect how people perceive you. Carefully crafted blogs can mold your business persona as you choose. Do you want to be perceived as an elite in your field? Would you prefer an image that is friendly, approachable, and one that is viewed as a trusted resource? Blogs can be humorous, down-to-earth, and sarcastic or they can be laser-focused on professionalism. They should always be honest, helpful, and fresh.

The point is, this "persona" should be a conscious decision. How do you want to be branded and positioned in the marketplace and does your blog help create that brand?

Sure, blogs will help with search engine visibility but they will have a long-lasting impact on the “personality” and voice of your business. It is up to you to determine what that voice will be.

The Bottom Line of Blogging

You've probably heard the phrase “content is king” in digital marketing today. In the past half-dozen years or so, content has climbed the ladder in terms of importance in search engine rankings. That, after all, is the purpose of a search engine, to help users find relevant content.

While many are focusing on H1 and H2 headlines and subheads, keywords, and keyword phrases and where and how often they appear in content, they may overlook the important role the content will play in branding and positioning their company.

There is an expression that says “It's not so much what you say to a person that will make an impression but how you make them feel.” This is not to say that the content is not important, of course, it is. How your blog content is written, however, will impact how your readers feel about you. That will have a big effect on if they will want to do business with you. It is not enough to provide data or useful information. If they don't feel good about you, they will just take the data you provided and use it when finding a resource they are more comfortable with.

How do you want your customers to feel about you? Make sure your blogs help mold that emotional bond and you can create an even bigger impression through your content marketing. You will better create a brand and position yourself in a way that converts more readers and visitors into customers.

How Social Media Has and Continues to Change Our World

Social media is such an integral part of our everyday lives today, we may not give much thought to how it developed and social media's impact on our relationships and society in general. Grandparents use it to connect with grandchildren, employees make use of it to connect with potential employers, and couples use it to make romantic connections. We share our thoughts, pictures, videos, and far too often, our political beliefs. It brings us closer together and pulls us apart.

Where is social media today, how did it get here and what's next?

A History of Social Media

Many understand Mark Zuckerberg's involvement in Social Media with the introduction of Facebook of in 2004. There has been much written about Zuckerberg and even a major movie that chronicled Facebook's development. Others will remember it's predecessor, MySpace, which was introduced a year previously. Social media, however, has roots that precede even MySpace by eight years.

Depending on one's specific definition of social media, the first site often credited with implementing aspects of social media was Classmates in 1995. Classmates allowed users to create their own profiles and friends lists. Others consider Six Degrees, which first debuted in 1997, as the first social media website. Its title was based on the six degrees of separation theory where we are all connected by six personal connections. While it quickly garnered millions of members, the internet was still relatively young. Six Degrees was ahead of its time and it would take a few more years before the internet's infrastructure would catch up with the unbridled growth of social media.

Ryze, the precursor to LinkedIn was launched in 2001 with a focus on connecting members for career and business purposes. LinkedIn made its debut a year later in 2002. That was also the year Friendster came online.

The social media website hi5 began in 2003 and quickly grew to involve millions of users, mainly in Latin America and countries like Romania and Tunisia. The site still boasts over 100 million members.

Not all social media sites have been successes. One example is Orkut, which briefly made an appearance in early 2004. Orkut was launched by Google as an invitation-only site and never caught on. Yahoo!360 followed a similar path and suffered a similar fate. Yahoo!360 was also an invitation-only social media site. It launched in 2005 and was shut down in 2009.

Twitter and Instagram began to become widely accepted in 2010 and Google got it right in 2011 when it launched Google+. Today, social media platforms include YouTube, Reddit, VK, Tumblr, Pinterest Flickr, meetup, and a plethora of others.

The Current State of Social Media

Today, Facebook still rules the roost when it comes to social media. Mark Zuckerberg posted recently that the platform now has over 2 billion members. YouTube is second in monthly users with 1.5 billion. Twitter's unique monthly users have reached 400 million, and Instagram is approaching 300 million. LinkedIn rounds out the top five with 250 million.

If there is power in numbers, social media is a force to be reckoned with. This was evidenced by the 2016 presidential election in the United States. There are still questions on if, and how, the election was influenced by Russian social media users, advertising, and websites. The U.S. President has grabbed the attention of the world with his almost daily tweets on Twitter. Everybody from members of Congress to late night television hosts have made their thoughts known on various platforms.

Careers are being made and others destroyed on social media. Live streaming has shown us crimes and even murders in progress. It has also provided an outlet for people to show abuses of law enforcement officers. Millions of dollars have been raised for good causes with the help of social media.

It has gotten to the point that much of the news of the day is filled not with what is going on in the world but what is going on in social media.

In the meantime, massive amounts of data is being collected from users who voluntarily make their data available via their favorite social media sites. This gathering of “Big Data” is what may ultimately, shape the future of social media.

Where is Social Media Headed?

There are generally three schools of thought when it comes to the future of social media. The first is that social media will continue to go on unbridled and to be self-governed by the companies who control it. When one considers the ramifications of this, it is hard ti imagine social media will continue to go along this path.

The second path is that social media will continue to grow but under more strict regulations, especially when it comes to matters of national security. One should keep in mind that in the U.S., the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is already charged with keeping on eye on large segments of the media. There are regulations in place to monitor political advertising and being upfront with who is paying for the advertising. Many believe there will also be more steps taken to protect the personal information of social media users.

There is a third school of thought that users will recognize how much information and data they are voluntarily providing. They will tire of the constant bickering, shaming, and political posturing that is rampant today. Some feel large segments of social media users will seek alternatives. These alternatives may be more secure, less confrontational, and offer more privacy. They may or may not be in development now.

In recent years, there has been talk of social media “breaking the internet”. We may be getting to the point where the internet may just break social media. There are certainly some aspects of social media that are in need of attention.
