• PDF Brander. A must use for viral marketing and tiers affiliate!

Productivity

• FileZilla. Another free, fast and reliable FTP client and server. I prefer FileZilla to Smart FTP.
• Gallery 2, the next generation of open source photo sharing web applications. I use it for DhavaPrakoso.com.
• Open Office, a multiplatform and multilingual office suite and an open-source project. Compatible with all other major office suites, the product is free to download, use, and distribute. I really like Open Office Writer so much, especially for it’s great capability to create PDF documents with working links.
• Smart FTP. It’s free for personal use and I like it because it supports multiple FTP sessions. However, after 30 days of using it, the license reminder pop-up starts to annoy me.

Security

Once the accounts are set up, this article submission service automatically submit the articles to the web publishers in your specified target markets.
• SEO Elite, optimizes your sites for search engines which results in top ranks in Google and Yahoo.

Web Host

I personally use two different web hosting companies to host my sites. I chose to do this so that in the extremely rare case that one of them is down, not all of my sites are down as well. You must be familiar with “Never put your eggs in the same basket”, don’t you?

Another reason is for SEO where I can cross link my sites from different IPs. If they’re all hosted in the same web hosting companies, they all share the same IP and cross linking will only hurt their SEO.

• Blue Host
• Host Gator

Both offer generous bandwidth, disk space and email aliases, as well as fast technical support. Another thing that I like, they have Fantastico, which makes WordPress, Gallery and other application can be installed in 1 click!
