The mind of Derrick Lee Bradshaw, Sr.

Before the Holidays I upgraded the web hosting control panel at Hostexa to include some much needed improvements.  I’m planning a much larger system wide improvement after the new year which will cover some hardware as well as software.  A few of the companies web hosting machines will be affected and a notice will be sent to you later in December if your machine will experience any downtime due to this upgrade.  When we do have outages from this kind of procedure it is scheduled for off times when the machines are normally not as active.

Last year Bradshaw Consulting Inc. ran a promotion for one of it’s businesses at Castaloy.com.  There was an overwhelming response to this promotion that awarded free cast iron repair rods. Over the weekend I had someone inquire about a list of all the free items or promotions that have been offered by Bradshaw Consulting Inc.   I have also been asked by other clients to help promote their products via promotions or contests.  In response to this apparent need, I have decided to create an area to list and promote these and other promotions within our group. This post will be updated often with current promotions and other special offerings. Please take a moment to bookmark this page if your interested in coming back to find out how to win free things.

Over the past few months things have been very busy at Bradshaw Consulting, Inc.   This is the reason why I have not posted many blogs over the last few months.  While on a work related trip to Chicago I stopped at starving rock on my way back.  I plan to post some pictures and my experiences during that 10 mile hike.

Late last year we completely redesigned the corporate website while keeping the same logo and colors.  A large number of my clients loved the items like logo and colors but I felt the website was becoming old and outdated.  Earlier this week Hostexa, the web hosting division, also had its website redesigned to conform with the new design at Bradshaw Consulting.  The company also went through its control panel being upgraded to the latest version of Plesk which was much expected.  My goal is to release more content on this upgrade in the coming months.   The company also got a complete overhaul of its billing system which went live this week.  This also has many new features that will require some articles to better inform my clients of this powerful new addition to the services offered.  One of the biggest tasks I face is the organization of all the web hosting companies I have purchased over the years.  These companies have separate pricing, web design, services and before they were all handled via unique billing systems that ended up being inherited from the previous owner.   Now all of these companies are located under one platform.  This allows my employees to handle support and billing issues easier and with less time which equals better customer service and support.

Now the website at Hostexa has been completed I added the hostexa profile page to the my projects section of this website.

Quality Home Locator has expanded its Millikin housing this year.  Most of these properties have been filled for this coming 2011/2012 school year but there are still a few spots left. Please contact my office if you are interested. Even if you are not ready for off campus living this year, now is a great time to start planning for 2012/2013 school year.  Today, on the company website, a list of all approved Millikin housing was released.  This chart displays all the properties designated for College off-campus living, the amount of total possible rooms, as well as rooms available for the next 4 school years.  This gives students the ability to start planning for an off-campus living option well in advance and feel comfortable knowing they have a place secured.  I suggest bookmarking the off-campus living availability website so that when we update that page you will be first to know.  We will also announce these updates on the company website located at http://www.qualityhomelocator.com and so signing up for the company’s free newsletter is also a good idea.

I just announced on my corporate website that Bradshaw Consulting, Inc. is looking to fill a writing position to prepare for the launch of several projects.  If you or anyone you know might be interested please feel free to contact my office.

Back in January Quality Home Locator announced on its website an acquisition of a property near Millikin University.  I’m sorry, I’ve been so busy over the last couple of months posting this to my website had slipped my mind.  This property will provide housing for students attending Millikin and has already been rented for the 2011/2012 school year.  However, my company is taking applications for the 2012/2013 school year and beyond.  A detailed property sheet on 56 Fairview Place can be found at QHL’s website.  The property could easily support 2-3 millikin students and is within a half mile from campus.

Possible long term residency is available and details on this can be provided by my office.  If you are a millikin student looking for student housing or wishing to rent this property feel free to contact us.

My company, Quality Home Locator, just secured another property located in the South Shores area. This 2 bedroom house will be available for rent later this month, April, 2011.  A press release was announced today on the Quality Home Locator websites as well as a detailed property sheet on 2630 South Franklin Decatur, IL. My company has been providing quality homes to the Decatur, IL area now for almost 10 years.

If any interest in this or any other property owned by Quality Home Locator please contact my office.
