Re: Question about cpannel
TL;DR;
Yes but it's often a waste of time.
Long answer:
If you're just doing an HTML website, then just use something free like Netlify or Amazon S3.
If you have a WordPress website, you can spin up a Virtual Private Server with AWS or DigitalOcean and install Apache, PHP, MySQL and do everything through the command line.
I personally have all the skills to do all that stuff. And I've done so in the past. But more often than not, it's a waste of time. So most of the time, I use CPanel. Unless I'm hosting a web application, then I use Heroku.

Re: Opinion about our business name
I vote for Beautifyd
Re: Opinion about our business name
Phonetically, I think "Beautifyd" makes sense when said allowed. It just may not resonate with new customers in writing, but I think most would figure it out. So, as long as you're able to position it in that manner, I think it would be a fine name.
What is the significance of "Belenbo?" Is that the combined name of the owners, Belle and Beau?

Re: Opinion about our business name
Hello, @Jujigatame:
Wouldn't "Beautifyd" or "Beautified" make more sense? I think the current name of "Butifyd" doesn't convey the right message and I don't think it's connotation really correlates with beauty products.

Re: Starting a IT Consultant Company
Hi Irvan,
If you are still working for a company please go check your employee hand book to verify there is no conflicts of interest or rules against employees holding 2nd jobs.
don't want to stress you our but 50% of all startups go out of business within 12 to 18 months.
You job is not to be a statistic
At the start you need to spend your money on acquiring clients and marketing and other essential business stuff. You do not need to spend tons of money on a fancy entity or crazy operating agreements that you will not use and whose tax benefits you may never recognize. You can change or start a new fancy / complex entity or create operating agreements for the entity once the company becomes financially viable.

Re: Business Pitch Design
A pitch deck is a great way to present your business model. It should introduce your business plan, team, vision, financial projections, etc., and is essentially a visual summary for investors.
StartupNation actually has a great e-book on pitch deck fundamentals, including how to design one. Check it out: https://startupnation.com/pitch-deck-fundamentals-ebook/

Re: Is promoting sports in our country a good idea? I would like some views on this!
@Smeet Soni, what is your country and are sports an issue there?
I think sports are very important, especially for youth: they promote health and exercise, teach discipline, help form strong bonds with teammates and teach life skills you can take with you off of the field/court/arena.

Re: What are the Benefits of Outsourcing? What are the Disadvantages?
Benefits are more when compared to disadvantages. Pro's : 1) Can choose the right experts available in the market. 2) Can approve the quality of output or get it worked till we achieve it with out spending own time or money. 3) Operational costs, employee costs are much lower when compared to permanent in house employees. 4) delegation of responsibility and be stress free. Cons : 1) lack of understanding of organization standards, culture, marks etc 2) data security.
The first one can be easily outdone by providing a simple training for the managers to make sure of the components required in outcome and data security by outsourcing to ISMS certified companies like Habiliss , Keane India, Accenture, Cranes Software, Aztecsoft, Microland, etc.
