Buy a Slice of Premium Rackspace Hosting with Bitcoin

Leave a comment

37solutions, a Rackspace member reseller, today announced support for Bitcoin payments which will essentially allow customers to buy premium Rackspace hosting and email services with the popular digital currency.

Pittsburgh, PA (USA), April 03, 2013 — Bitcoins are the first decentralized digital currency – essentially digital coins – that you can send through the Internet. Unlike traditional currency that requires a bank or clearing house to transfer funds, Bitcoins can be sent directly from person to person.

“We see a lot of potential for Bitcoin to be a viable form of payment for Internet transactions and we want to support the community by accepting payments for our hosting services in Bitcoin”, said Gregory Duffie, owner of 37SOLUTIONS, LLC.

Bitcoin users are typically more technically savvy and can appreciate quality hosting options. There are a lot of Bitcoin enthusiasts that have been accumulating coins for a couple years now but there are relatively few places to use those coins. And while there are certainly other hosting providers that accept Bitcoin 37solutions appears to be the first to offer Rackspace hosting in exchange for the popular digital currency.

The electronic currency has been getting a lot of press lately from popular news sources. The total market value of all Bitcoins in circulation reached 1 billion USD this week and the price has just topped 100 USD per coin.

“We learned about Bitcoin in late 2012 and embraced the new currency by purchasing a mining rig from Butterfly Labs.”, Gregory said.

He continued, “The recent popularity of Bitcoin coincided with our website redesign so we took advantage of the timing and added Bitcoin payments to our new e-commerce store. We hope that we’ll fill a niche market of users looking to spend their BTC for website hosting, email hosting, website design and other technology services.”

Healthcare Businesses Leading the Way to More Jobs!

Leave a comment

According to the Department of Labor statistics, healthcare businesses are leading the way out of the current economic recession. Healthcare Business Solutions, an Eagan, Minnesota based company is part of the healthcare expansion process.

Saint Paul, MN (USA), April 03, 2013 — On March 11, 2013, the Department of Labor Statistics showed that healthcare businesses had created 32,000 new jobs in February. This was 13.6% of the total US jobs created for the month. Healthcare Business Solutions, a local company in Eagan, Minnesota is part of the healthcare expansion leading the country out of the recession.

Tunisia Irby, the owner of Healthcare Business Solutions, started her medical billing business for chiropractors and mental health practitioners in 2007. She has now outgrown her space in Eagan. On April 1st, Healthcare Business Solutions will move to a larger location where additional medical billing clerks will be employed as her business continues to expand to meet the new demands of the healthcare industry.

When asked why healthcare businesses jobs continue to grow, Ms Irby said the healthcare expansion comes from several areas. “As the population ages, there is a need for more healthcare services. There is also a shift in medical practice as more jobs shift to tech support, medical secretaries and medical records experts so staff like registered nurses, therapists and doctors can spend more time with patients.”

In addition, Irby added, “We have the 2010 Affordable Care Act (Obama Care) that will be fully implemented in October of 2013. Initially this implementation will create additional medical jobs at all levels.”

Ms Irby also noted that electronic medical records are changing the healthcare landscape. As new electronic record systems are implemented, new opportunities open for businesses like Healthcare Business Solutions ( http://www.healthcarebizsol.com ). They can electronically do the billing and coding from their own offices to a serve a much wider geographic area.
