Different Types of Web Hosting

There are many different types of web hosting companies available in the market today. Choosing a web hosting provider depends on what type of website you want to have: hobby, blog, or ecommerce site. As a result, there are different flavors of hosting providers. Some of the most common web site hosting types are: shared, free, and dedicated hosting. Free web hosting services for example, place ads on the user's web pages and can be cumbersome and annoying for visitors. The other web hosting plans offer great support, options, and bandwidth but charge a monthly fee.

Shared Web Hosting

Shared hosting is the most popular web hosting plan, basic. Shared web site hosting permits more than one site to be hosted on the same server. Here, the web hosts provide the system administration and the server maintenance. Benefits of a shared hosting site are programming features such as ASP, PHP, MySQL, large bandwidth, and multiple e-mail address capability. Compared to free web hosting, shared web hosting allows a user to have their own domain name. Shared hosting is a way for a hosting company to offer affordable web hosting to their clients while having more users on one server and thus less overhead costs.

Free Webhosting

Free hosting is the most basic web hosting service. Banners ads are common on this type of website hosting (for example Geocities or Angelfire). There are a few free web site hosting providers in existence today that provide excellent options but that is the exception to the rule. Most free hosting plans do not provide users with MySQL databases, multiple e-mail accounts, or the ability to run any scripting language. The type of domain one receives in free web hosting is typically a sub-domain (yoursite.webhost.com) or a directory (www.webhost.com/~yoursite). Our recommendation is to avoid these kinds of web host services. Put a small investment in for cheap web hosting and get your own site, in the long run you will be happier and more satisfied.

Dedicated Web Hosting

Dedicated hosting is a good option for someone who wants more storage and bandwidth and control over the server. The advantages of having dedicated hosting are: unlimited databases and email addresses as well as unlimited bandwidth. Generally, a dedicated server plan offers the user with a monthly bandwidth of 500 GB to 1 TB. Also important to know that there are two types of dedicated web hosting plans: managed and unmanaged. Managed hosting is hosting that is still controlled by the hosting company. In unmanaged dedicated web hosting, the user is the server administrator, permitting the user the greatest amount of control and flexibility. Unfortunately, unmanaged hosting is complicated and takes more time than a managed hosting solution.

This is a quick summary of the plethora of web hosting companies. Yes, we admit, it is a daunting task to find the best web hosting service for your needs. First know that the function of the website usually determines the type of web host. Then, the features, support, reliability, and control decide the pricing of a hosting account. At Web Hosting Search, you can browse the site and learn more about hosting, buy a hosting plan, and get your website online.

Introduction to the World of Web hosting

2009-12-10T15:54:00.000-08:00

Introduction to the World of Web hosting

The web hosting industry has spawned a broad range of niche markets over the years. Ranging from shared hosting to dedicated hosting, as well as all the hybrids in between, each type of web hosting presents its own set of pros and cons.

Shared Hosting - Cost Effective, Easy to Use and Feature Rich

Whether you call it conventional, regular or normal hosting, shared hosting is the most common web hosting service on the market. In fact, a large majority of the websites you encounter online are running on this type of platform.

As the name implies, shared hosting is a service arrangement where you share bandwidth, disk space capacity and various network resources with other paying customers. The structure of this model equates into a low-cost solution that is typically easy to maintain for even the most inexperienced of users. Although the price is usually reasonable, these packages do not slack on power, as they come loaded with an arsenal of useful features. The economic value, simplicity and hassle-free aspect makes shared hosting a viable option for most individuals and small companies.

Dedicated Hosting - The Utmost in Control, Flexibility, and Responsibility

Dedicated web hosting is the exact opposite of the shared variety. Instead of sharing the server with other customers, the hardware is dedicated exclusively to your website needs. Since you are not forced to share resources, dedicated hosting can provide you with a superior level of control, flexibility and performance. This is an arrangement wherein you can choose your own operating system, install your own software applications, and incorporate the security mechanisms you feel will provide the server with the best protection. It also a scenario that requires you to have a certain skill set in order to administer and maintain the server. Unlike shared web hosting, dedicated hosting is not recommended for the inexperienced user.

VPS Hosting - Immense Power and Great Performance

A virtual private server, or VPS, represents a technology that is rapidly emerging in the web hosting industry. A VPS is created by software that partitions a single physical server to establish multiple virtual servers within it. Known as virtualization, this process results in a number of isolated environments with the ability to perform many of the same functions as an individual machine.

A virtual private server tends to provide more guaranteed resources, better performance and security than your typical shared platform at a price that is notably less expensive than a dedicated server. With these factors in mind, many view a VPS as the perfect compromise between shared and dedicated web hosting.

Managed Hosting - Hassle-Free But Costly

In its most common application, managed hosting refers to the full servicing of a dedicated server. This service aims to alleviate the complexities and technical challenges of managing a web server. Though server management is the main feature, other options range from web application and database administration to monitoring and extensive support. Managed hosting services are geared towards customers who lack the technical abilities needed to handle a dedicated server, as well as those who do not have the time to fully immerse themselves in all the management aspects. Although cost efficient under the right circumstance, the biggest downside of managed hosting is its price tag, as it is considerably more expensive that other forms of web hosting.

Reseller Hosting - Substantial Profit Potential

Reseller hosting has emerged in recent times, providing entrepreneurs and small businesses with an opportunity to profit from the flourishing web hosting industry. As a reseller, you purchase a service plan from a hosting provider equipped with a certain amount of disk storage, bandwidth and features. This gives you the ammunition you need to sell web hosting plans to customers looking to build their presence online.

What makes this type of arrangement so attractive is that you pay a flat fee and have the potential generate substantial income from your investment. When selecting a respectable web hosting provider, a reseller account can run seamlessly and transparently enough to give you the presence of a large, established company.

Conclusion

Web hosting services are the key for any individual or business with aspirations of succeeding online. As you can see, there are many offerings to select from, and making a decision can be overwhelming. The good thing is that with so many companies on the market, you are almost certain to land a solution that adequately suits your needs.

Threats to VMware Hegemony Revealed in New Server Study

2009-12-09T15:43:00.000-08:00

(The Hosting News) – TheInfoPro, an independent research company for the IT industry, today released its fall 2009 Server Study showing slow but recovering x86 server deployments, contrasted by strong growth in deployments of VMware, Windows Server and Linux, primarily Red Hat.

VMware is still the leading vendor in use and in plan for server virtualization, and few users report firm plans to switch from VMware to Hyper-V. However, this parallel deployment of Hyper-V, Citrix and Red Hat virtualization capabilities could signal a challenge to VMware’s dominance; this implies that heterogeneous environments will be commonplace, where VMware is used for production, and Hyper-V may grow through deployments for development and testing.

“Much of the strength of the VMware story is predicated on a homogeneous population of VMware servers under control of VMware management utilities,” said Bob Gill, managing director of server research for TheInfoPro. “The more heterogeneous the environment, the less VMware is positioned in the central infrastructural layer in the data center.”

Key Data in Server Hardware

TheInfoPro’s Server Study reflects a depressed server hardware market caused by a confluence of the economic downturn and the impact of server consolidation and virtualization that has been a top priority for the past several years.

One technology showing rapid penetration among respondents is server-driven desktop replacements/appliances. With the halo effect of server virtualization drawing interest to desktop virtualization, the percentage of users citing such technology as in use rose from 9% in Wave 7 to 18% in Wave 8. Interestingly, the percentage of those expressing no plans remained fairly constant, showing that pent-up demand is being satisfied, but new demand is not yet appearing.
10Gbps switches took the top spot in the Server Hardware Heat Index, as users prepare to upgrade their networking infrastructure for increasingly dense and demanding servers. Two percent (2%) report such switches in pilot, 5% in near-term plan, and 16% of the sample cited in long-term plan, which extends through Q3 2010.

Key Data in Server Software

This study showed that growth in infrastructure server software deployments, such as operating systems and virtualization software, continues much more strongly than growth in hardware units, driven by the efficiencies derived from server virtualization. Growth in the number of virtual machines deployed implies growth in virtualization software licenses, as well as for the OS instances required for each virtual machine.

Application monitoring and management tools, and discovery and inventory management tools, rank fourth and fifth respectively on the Heat Index, as users attempt to gain control over their increasingly virtualized and dynamic systems.
More than 60% of users project that more than half of all database systems will be run on 64-bit OS instances, up from just under 50% in 2009, implying substantial refreshing and upgrading of OS instances. More than two-thirds of respondents use Microsoft for back-end/database servers.
Eighty-three percent (83%) of respondents now report virtual machine software for midtier/application servers in use somewhere within their organization. This widespread deployment is illustrative of virtualization’s movement from strictly development and test applications to production applications.
Cloud/utility computing scores well on the Heat Index, based on the 13% who report it in long-term plan, but the vendors cited reflect an even split between respondents who are describing internal cloud development and those who are referring to using an external cloud provider.

About TheInfoPro’s Server Study

TheInfoPro’s Wave 8 Server Study is based on detailed one-on-one interviews with server professionals at 300 large and midsize enterprises in North America and Europe that were completed in fall 2009. It provides detailed plans about usage patterns for 43 server technologies that fall under the following categories: x86 server hardware, servers and storage networking, infrastructure management software, virtualization software, applications and advanced architectures, special operating system and other server form factors. For each technology, IT pros were asked about the status of implementation and about the vendors they are using or considering. In addition, data is collected on the current and projected spending on the technology. TIP’s proprietary technology indexes provide tools to evaluate areas of interest to the reader. Vendors that were mentioned in the study include Hewlett-Packard, Dell, IBM, Oracle, VMware, Microsoft, Red Hat, Cisco, NEC and Stratus Technologies.

European enterprises assured of data security with Interoute

2009-12-09T15:41:00.000-08:00

AYKsolutions Adds Enterprise-Grade Cloud Hosting Solution

2009-12-09T15:40:00.000-08:00

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (December 9, 2009)—AYKsolutions, a provider of Shared, Reseller and Dedicated hosting solutions, announced today it has introduced Cloud Servers, offering high-availability, enterprise-level hosting architecture for small to medium sized businesses.

Unlike traditional shared or dedicated hosting architecture, which relies on single servers to host the operating system, services, and account data, AYKsolutions’ new Cloud Servers utilize an integrated Storage Area Network (SAN) that centralizes data storage and provides exceptional protection against hardware-related data loss. The SAN, powered by HP StorageWorks, is configured in both RAID 10 ( which both mirrors data and provides fault tolerance), and additionally in RAID 5 (providing a highly unique additional level of redundancy).

The new Cloud Servers are virtualized with VMware’s vSphere™ technology, which enables the users to setup highly available and fault tolerant clusters with multiple hardware nodes. If any single node experiences failure for any reason, VMware will automatically move the affected sites to a backup node in less than one minute, thereby sharply reducing the possibility of any downtime.

Starting at $319 per month, Cloud Servers include Dual Intel® Xeon® 5506 or Dual Intel® Xeon® 5520 processors, cPanel (optional at no additional charge), and 1 vSphere™ license with vCenter management panel, enabling the user to remotely reboot, move and alter his or her nodes. All Cloud Servers will be hosted in the company’s Atlanta data center facility.

“Cloud hosting is undeniably the new frontier in hosting. Its success is predicated on the notion that businesses will continue to place a greater emphasis on uptime, data integrity, and long-term stability. We’ve implemented our Cloud Servers with a laser focus on meeting those needs,” said Artyom Khmelnitsky, president of AYKsolutions.

AYKsolutions currently offers dedicated servers in five American cities, including Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Denver, and Miami. Monthly dedicated server plans start at $69 and feature a variety of configuration options, including *Nix/Windows platform choices, control panel choices, and hardware choices.

Ten Emerging Technologies That Are Changing the Way We Work

2009-12-09T15:38:00.000-08:00

Since the beginning of the information age, through the dot-com bubble and the Web 2.0 explosion, and now entering 2010, technology has had an increasingly large impact on the way we work. As the internet becomes a ubiquitous part of our daily lives, and companies are forced to embrace a broader range of technologies to keep up with their customers, various forms of technology have become crucial for many businesses that may have previously been considered technology-free. With this trend in mind, here are ten emerging technologies that are having a dramatic impact on the way we work.

1. The Evolution of Google AdWords

Ten years ago Google integrated a pay-per-click (PPC) model of advertising with their search results. The resulting success is now history. But, Google’s AdWords platform has come a long way since then. While Google did make significant improvements to AdWords early on, what will continue to drive its success and solidify its future hold on advertising dollars is Google’s tenacious appetite for innovation. Recognizing the threat that stagnancy poses to any valuable service, Google has been very busy lately renovating AdWords.

Within the past year Google has released a new interface, introduced new tools to glean search insights and retrieve more in depth keyword data, implemented a system for identifying keyword opportunities, and significantly enhanced conversion tracking. Not to mention that YouTube, which happens to be the second largest search engine on the Web, can now be targeted through an AdWords content campaign as well.

Google is quite aware of the importance of fundamentals, and while their far-reaching presence may be distracting to the outside observer, it’s clear after seeing Google’s recent surge of improvements that they are intent on seeing AdWords hold its position as the advertising platform of the future.

2. Cloud Computing

While the cloud computing label is commonly misunderstood due to incorrect usage and vague definitions, there are very tangible services and products that have come out of the cloud. For example, Facebook, Salesforce, and Google apps are all cloud-reliant services. But, what exactly is the cloud?

The term’s origin as a metaphor to describe the internet doesn’t help cut through the haze. In reality, the cloud is a term that describes the commonly virtualized infrastructure increasingly powering every day internet services such as those described above. To call the cloud “the internet” is a dreadfully large generalization.

Even though the technology that makes up the cloud isn’t new to the 21st century, its large-scale adoption has pushed the internet to take on a completely new form. Ecommerce businesses, communication software, and social computing are all beneficiaries of the improved efficiency and increased availability that cloud computing has brought to internet users.

3. Advancements in Web Analytics

Improvements to web analytics services like Google Analytics have been arriving in large numbers lately, giving marketers more tangible and meaningful data to sift through. These advancements are crucial if businesses are going to have a real means of measurement in their future advertising efforts.

Within the past year, Google has released a variety of new features that make their web analytics offering more robust including enhanced insights and filtering, alerts, mobile tracking, and the ability to use multiple custom variables. This attention from Google is a promising sign that the field of web analytics will continue to advance over the years, giving companies a better grip on their online performance than ever before.

Expect to see even more attention to web analytics in the coming years as businesses are in need of analyzing larger and more diverse streams of internet traffic.

4. Managed File Transfer

As people begin to move more sensitive information onto the web, we find ourselves in need of better ways to secure that information. Managed File Transfer (MFT) has stepped in to bridge the security gap left by File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and even Secure FTP (SFTP). Every day, all around the world, corporations are sending and receiving sensitive information. It’s not only in their best interest to keep this information secure, but also in the best interest of their customers.

Thankfully, the past decade has seen an increase in federal regulations around internal and external security. In order to meet federal standards, many companies are no longer in a position to legally use less secure methods and are now turning to MFT. While some companies may perceive moving to MFT as a government imposed burden, there is a tangible cost benefit to decreasing security risks that could damage the brand’s reputation and financial strength. Ultimately, MFT works out as a win-win for corporations and consumers alike.

5. 3G and Higher

In recent years, few things have taken place that will have a larger impact on the way we use technology than the advances taking place in mobile internet coverage. The increasing quality and availability of wireless internet service is playing a large part in transforming us into always-on individuals.

Internally, businesses are working with more remote employees and communicating with employees beyond the office building and normal office hours. Externally, the battle for consumer attention is shifting towards the mobile arena, and advertising is becoming not only digital in nature, but predominantly mobile as well. Expect wireless coverage to follow after the high-bandwidth trend and continue to increase in coverage and affordability until all metro areas are saturated in the mobile web.

6. Netbooks

Netbooks are one of the many trends in the technology world that are contributing to remote work and decentralized internet access. They fill the gap currently existing between laptops and mobile phones, and they are the tangible result of increased wireless access and cloud-computing.

Not only are netbooks a convenient size, they have a convenient price. With Dell netbooks starting out at $299, netbooks are much more affordable than most laptops and even some cell phones. Businesses and individuals looking to save money are increasingly looking to netbooks because of this low price point, and it could be the determining factor that keeps the netbook relevant throughout the coming years. As the work place continues to go mobile, expect netbooks to continue rising in popularity.

7. Automated HR Systems

In order to keep up with the demands of policy management, many companies are moving towards increasingly automated HR systems. By using technologies that centralize company data and streamline policy management, HR departments across the nation have increased in efficiency, saving employees everywhere time and headaches that come from manually maintaining and implementing HR policies.

In addition to increasing internal efficiency, automating the HR process creates a structure that enables clear comprehension and communication to third parties, reducing and sometimes entirely eliminating the need for audits to be performed. As federal regulations become increasingly complex, expect to see automated HR technologies implemented at a higher rate.

8. Identity Platforms

Facebook and the Open ID foundation are both pushing to change the landscape of the web as we know it by creating a widely adopted identity platform. Such a platform would enable internet users to browse the internet, accessing various websites all with the same login. For users, this presents an opportunity for a more seamless browsing experience. For businesses, this presents an opportunity to increase recognition, trust, and usability, all of which are important to creating conversions online.

Neither of these identity platforms has received major main stream attention, but don’t be fooled. These platforms are the beginning of a long-term trend that will play a part in shaping a more unified web. In the future, expect businesses that don’t allow for reputable third party logins to lose the credibility needed to be successful online.

9. Hyperlocal

As individuals move towards an increasingly mobile and connected lifestyle, businesses are forced to adapt and reach customers on-the-go. Not only is the mobile web experience reaching maximum penetration in the US, but hyperlocal services and advertising are now opening up a new way for businesses to become relevant. By offering services, products, and advertisements that are location-based, companies are able to tap into the natural appeal of proximity and convenience.

Within the next few years, expect services that draw out the inherent value of people’s community and surroundings to thrive over more static forms of business and to see more advertisements custom-targeted based on your location at the very moment.

10. Touch Screens

For many people, touch screens are the stuff of science fiction, but the truth is that touch screens are now a reality, and not just on the iPhone. Touch screens have actually been around for awhile, but we’re just now seeing touch screens show up on more laptops and other computing devices. As touch screens continue to break down the conventional mouse/keyboard barrier, expect more and more businesses, schools, and organizations to be using touch screens daily to brainstorm, plan, present, and even navigate the web.

Conclusion

Just as technologies before them, these technologies are revolutionizing the way we work for the better. They are enhancing current business platforms, opening up new business opportunities, and equipping businesses with more powerful solutions. Over the next few years they will play a major role in turning the work-place into an even further techno-centric environment, and their value in creating successful businesses will be fundamental.

Select a web host suitable for Zen Cart

2009-12-05T18:11:00.002-08:00

Web Hosting is the service of making your web site viewable to other people on the Internet.

Zen Cart offer certified Web Hosts that have pledged to provide superior customer service to all of their customers and ensure that their servers are set up to run Zen Cart without requiring any changes to the program. Choosing a Certified Host will also help to keep Zen Cart moving forward as they have pledged financial support to the Zen Cart project.

A good little test to check the efficiency of a hosting company is to email their customer service department and see how long they take to respond to you. You can also search the Internet for forums, reviews and information about the specific web hosting providers. Price of course should be taken into consideration, but in the world of web hosting you often get what you pay for.
Zen Cart Requirements

The recommended server configuration is:

* PHP 4.4.x or higher
* Apache 1.3.x or 2.x
* MySQL 3.2x or 4.0.x (with significant memory resources devoted to the MySQL processes)
* Register Globals = off
* PHP Safe_Mode = off

Notes

* CURL
Many shipping and payment modules require CURL to be installed and compiled with PHP.
* SSL & HTTPS
Support for HTTPS may be required depending on the payment methods being accepted. The use of SSL during account creation and checkout is recommended.
* PHP as CGI
If you are running on a Unix/Linux host with PHP running as CGI, you may have some difficulties. In Linux, it is recommended to use PHP as an Apache module, not as a CGI app, unless you have server-level control of configuring the CGI options and advanced knowledge of tuning the server to function optimally.
* PHP5
PHP5 is not officially supported by Zen Cart™ v1.3.x at this time since it hasn’t been exhaustively tested; however, many shopowners are successfully running their shops on servers using PHP5. The development of v1.3.x is using constructs that are more compliant with PHP5 but full specific testing for PHP5 is not a primary goal of the 1.3.x series. Zen Cart™ v2.0.0 is built on PHP5, and will require PHP 5.2 as a minimum.
* MySQL 4.1.x
MySQL 4.1.x uses an encryption scheme that is not 100% supported by PHP4 on older servers, so may not work with Zen Cart™ v1.3.x unless your host has upgraded their support for compatibility between the two systems.
* MySQL5
MySQL 5 has some tighter constraints on various SQL statement constructs. Zen Cart™ v1.2.x requires some coding alterations in order to work in a MySQL5 environment. Zen Cart™ v1.3.x has repaired these constructs and thus is expected to be compatible. Exhaustive testing has not yet been completed. You can use a simple patch on v1.2.x until then.
* Zen Cart v1.2.x and earlier are no longer officially supported
Also note that versions prior to Zen Cart 1.3.x will not work on MySQL5 (typically installed alongside PHP 5).

How Search Engine-Friendly is Your Domain Name?

2009-11-16T09:36:00.001-08:00

A search engine-friendly domain name can put you on a path to achieve the rankings and traffic you need to be successful online. It can aid in helping target your audience, increase conversions and open the door to multiple streams of revenue. If these benefits are desirable to you, the following tips should come in handy when going to the registrar to acquire the name.

Think SEO and User-friendly Domain - In order to be considered search engine-friendly, your domain name must be preferably short and easy to remember. This way, users can recall it much faster and the probability of generating quality traffic becomes much greater. In most cases, a long, complicated name will only work against you and hinder your success.

Focus on Keywords - Keywords add to the success of a domain name because they play such a critical role in the SEO process. When implementing keywords into your URL, search engines like Google will index it faster, thus increasing the possibility of higher click-through rates and most importantly, more exposure.

Be Cautious of Hyphens - Many SEO experts speak strongly against inserting hyphens in a domain name. This is because they can lead to complications such as users forgetting where the hyphen is to be positioned within the domain. Because there could be many similar websites that contain domain names without hyphens, you want to be very careful that you do not direct visitors to your competition.

Optimize for Type-in Traffic – Some internet users have a habit of typing keywords directly into their browser bar instead of a search box. To leverage this type of traffic, you may want to register a domain that contains your targeted domain in its entirety to increase your traffic through this prevalent market.

Choose a Fitting TLD – There are many top level domain to choose from, but you will likely have more success from SEO standpoint by choosing a .com.

Establish Inbound Links – Inbound links are another part of the SEO process. You certainly want to establish quality links that include your domain. If your site is devoid of such links, the search engines will conclude that it lacks relative content. Keep in mind that poor links will negatively effective your optimization efforts. For this reason, you want to avoid link farms and questionable practices employed by questionable SEO firms.

Choose a Good Domain Name Registrar – The key to obtaining an search engine-friendly domain name is to register the name with a respectable registrar. There are many registrars on the market but not all can be relied upon. We recommend sticking with known and trusted brands like GoDaddy and Yahoo or opting for one with your web hosting provider.

Registering a search engine-friendly domain will not guarantee you increased traffic or visibility. Even SEO itself calls for you to promote your site in traditional ways and most importantly, make sure it contains quality content web surfers will be interested in. Once you come to realize this, we are confident that these tips will go a long way in helping you achieve the visibility and success you desire online.

Free Domain Name Resources

2009-11-16T09:34:00.000-08:00

“Free” is one of those misleading terms that gets thrown around quite a bit these days. By the time you read the terms and conditions of the product or service in question, more often than not, you find that is it not free at all. You may assume that free domain names is just another trick designed to toy with your emotions but believe it or not, they do exist. We have compiled a list of services that can help you establish a web presence with your very own domain without paying a single penny.

Dot TK

Dot TK is a domain registrar that offers free domain names in the .TK extension. Millions of users have being using this TLD since 2001, which makes it more recognizable and powerful than you might think. There are some advantages to having a .TK domain name, especially if you plan to use it with a short secondary domain. In addition, it can be used with any type of website you may have, whether it is a blog or e-commerce site.

.CO.NR Free Domain Name

This is another service that offers free domains with a variety of extra features to boot. Your name comes with the .CO.NR extension, a project designed to help those who are strapped for cash obtain a unqiue domain that can establish a degree independence similar to premium domains. Some of the features that come along with the service include domain forwarding, URL cloaking and meta tag support, all of which are free with your domain name.

Afraid.org

Afraid.org offers a host of free services. On the menu are domain names with the .afraid.org extension and several more, sub-domains, URL cloaking, dynamic DNS support and full DNS management. In order to reap the benefits of Afraid.org, you must first sign up as a member, which can be done for free. There are also paid packages that provide a greater level of flexibility as more capacity is available to you.

UNI.CC Network

Here you have one of the most popular free domain name services available today. UNI.CC Network allows you to build your web presence with the unique .uni.cc extension. The service provides a variety of domain registration tools along with a DNS Setup Wizard that makes managing your identity a breeze. This service is provided at absolutely no cost.

Fadlan

Because it also specializes in free DNS services, if you have dedicated IP address, you have the ability to run your own web server on a sub-domain. Fadlan isn’t the best looking site, but it has come become very popular and offers a few services you may find useful.

The Benefits of Country-Specific Domains newa

2009-11-16T09:32:00.000-08:00

When going to register a domain name, you probably look for something with a .com TLD or decide to settle on .net if your first choice is not available. This is very understandable being that both of them add more professionalism and credibility to your web presence. While neither of these extensions make a bad choice, there are several reasons why you may want to consider registering a country-specific domain instead.

SEO Benefits

There are many cases when the major search engines will provide higher search engine rankings for web pages that have country-specific TLDs. For example, if an internet user from Canada is searching for software consulting services in that specific country, the site at mysoftware.ca may rank higher than another website with a .com extension selling the same product. This type of domain can also help increase your visibility through directories commonly referenced by local web surfers. Directories make a great way to enhance search engine rankings and build qualities links that lead to more traffic to your website.

Boost Customer Confidence

Having a country-specific domain can help increase confidence in customers as many of them feel more comfortable purchasing from local merchants. For them, it makes it much easier to track their sales and follow up with any questions or concerns regarding the product. Even though business is conducted across international borders everyday, some customers would just like to know that they are dealing with someone residing in the same country rather than one operating in a foreign locality.

Better Identify Your Audience

Another benefit to country-specific domain names is that you are better to identify where your customers are actually located. This makes things more convenient for both you and the customer. You can easily display products and services targeted at shoppers in that particular region and customers do not have to worry about choosing the geographic area they are located in. Again, this gives your site that local feel and instills the confidence the customer needs to feel safer doing business with you.

Maximize Your Potential

When factoring in their distinct advantages, you may want to consider registering both a country-specific TLD and a traditional extension such as .com or .net. This is a simple but strategic move that makes your business appealing to both international and national audiences. You should never overlook the potential sales and business that can be reaped from a domain name and all it takes is another small investment for an additional name that could result in huge benefits.

Conclusion

There are many domain name extensions available and the ICANN seems to be adding new ones on a regular basis. The country-specific variation represents a very broad category and as you can see, offers a wealth of benefits. While you have a vast selection to choose from, you should always keep yourself open to such an excellent opportunity that could help you attract other markets and extend your reach online.

Why Reliable Web Hosting?

2009-11-16T09:23:00.001-08:00

In today's competitive world reliable web hosting is very critical especially for the success of online businesses. Your message or information won't be conveyed on time unless you send it over high-speed network connections backed up by reliable web servers. You need to seek a web hosting company that can provide you with these components and much more.

People usually wonder “why reliable web hosting?” Critical components as listed below are some of the reasons why:
Server monitoring and 24x7 security to safeguard your site
Spam filtering
Firewall protection to protect the site from unwanted trespass
Daily site backups
99.9% uptime guarantee

Reliable web servers with multiple fast connections are critical in ensuring that your web site runs smoothly. Only behind the hosting company's firewall and additional security on their web servers can you seek to keep your website safe from unwelcome intruders. Spam and virus filtering is another essential feature which should be taken into account with all email facilities. This is again possible with only reliable web hosting.

Apart from the above, there are many other useful reasons. Certain components responsible for reliable web hosting not only decrease your stress but also increase productivity. Reliable web hosting is known to provide dependable uptime so that you can make changes on your website and upload it for customers to view in minimal time.

Reliable web hosting is vital for serious business clients who need their web sites to be fully-functional and their domains accessible at all times. These businesses could be any online industry, be it bank, financial institutes, railway and flight online booking sites or even ecommerce sites. Only with help of reliable web hosting can you maintain the highest level of security for discreet user transaction on any website. All ecommerce websites are integrated with payment gateways and if your web hosting is not secure or reliable then anyone can hack your site and you can lose essential online cash flows.

If your site is integrated with a dependable Content Management System (CMS) through which you seek to update your site on daily basis then reliable web hosting becomes all the same critical. To stay ahead in today's online competition you need a secure and flexible website and this is only possible with help of reliable web hosting.

Dedicated Servers for Ecommerce

2009-11-16T09:21:00.000-08:00

If you are currently engaged in any facet of ecommerce, even service sectors, a website makes up a great deal of your business. Therefore, it is a safe assumption that you pay for hosting your website in some fashion. If you do not already have a dedicated server, perhaps you should revisit the decision for the best hosting options for your business.

What is a Dedicated Server?

Most web hosting companies set up accounts or on a shared server. You essentially share the total hard drive and bandwidth allowance with many others. This may not be the best hosting option and can present many problems such as security and traffic bottlenecks. On a dedicated server, the server is completely yours, and there are not other websites utilizing the same machine. The server is dedicated completely to you and your business.

Advantages of a Dedicated Server

Several advantages can make a dedicated server the best hosting choice for you. These include:

Server Security –Dedicated servers increase the security of your website tremendously. There are no other webmasters using the same workspace, and simple mistakes or user error that might occur due to shared machines simply no longer existent.

Storage Space – As the entire server is dedicated to a single customer, there is tremendously more storage space available for website pages, images, and features.

Data Transfer – As with storage space, there is a great deal more bandwidth available for data transfer. Traffic to your site no longer competes with traffic for other websites reducing bottlenecks and slow server response time.

Control Panel – Having your own server offers additional opportunities for control. Sharing a server indicates that you have only limited control of server features and functions, but with a dedicated server, webmasters have greater control and access to the day-to-day functions of the host.

Software Options – Dedicated servers also allow more software and script options. The server has greater storage capacity for this information, and there is no need to align coding or features with other users of the same machine.

Disadvantages of a Dedicated Server

The sole disadvantage of a dedicated server is the cost. It is only logical that obtaining an entire server versus a piece of a shared server would be more expensive, but the rate often makes webmasters baulk. It is important to consider the fee as related to the total cost of shared server space when determining if a dedicated server is the best hosting option for you business, despite cost. A single credit card safety incident or an exorbitant bill for bandwidth overage should level the playing field almost immediately.

Am I ready for a Dedicated Server?

Websites grow at different rates, but as the success of a business grows, so does the need for additional hosting capacity. If you are approaching the limits of your current hosting company or have concerns about safety, such as storing credit card information on the same server as others or simply if your current company is the best hosting company for your needs, it is definitely time for a dedicated server.

Web Hosting Instructions

2009-11-16T09:20:00.000-08:00

Web domains. Hosting. Content. These are the three top priorities for any webmaster, regardless of how experienced they are. Unfortunately, these three essentials often leave people in the dark, as there are dozens of companies offering the “same” packages for different prices. With an overflow of routes you could take, it can get mind boggling to figure out the appropriate steps. For this reason, instructions are essential if you are looking for a smooth path.

The first thing you should do is make a list of what your current goals are. If you are making a professional site, you'll need a secure and reliable host. For instance, if you know that your website will reach thousands of people within a few months, perhaps you should find a web hosting package that includes extra bandwidth. You need additional space, especially if visitors are constantly going to be accessing your website. On the other hand, if you are just experimenting, you should stick to the free hosting packages. Geocities or Angel Fire certainly provides a basic package, which will leave you satisfied. After all, you do not need bells and whistles if you aren't serious about the website in the long run. If you do end up changing your mind, you can always switch services and transfer your website.

Once you have made your decision, you need to find a reputable service. While searching for hosting companies on Google may seem appropriate, it often stems bad results. It is important to remember that just because it is listed on a search engine, doesn't mean it is 100% safe and legit. Therefore, if you do find a potential company, you should get a second opinion. It is usually smart to join a webmaster related forum like SitePoint to discuss such matters. This way you can hear about other people's experiences and what companies to avoid. Additional references from friends or family would also be ideal.

After picking a host, you will need to provide your credit card information. For many users, 3ix.org is a favorite, as it rarely charges you much. Surprisingly, there are discount coupon codes you can acquire through the internet, to also help you with your initial fee. Due to the fact that you have to include your private information, it is absolutely crucial to make sure you find a legit business. The last thing you want is to lose any money. Therefore, you should google their name and check out the reviews from fellow users. This will most definitely make all of the difference, especially if you find out that they are a fraud.

For website beginners, web hosting doesn't have to be difficult or even too time consuming. As long as you find reputable sources, second opinions, and a great easy to use package, you are well on your way to website success. With these instructions in mind, there should be no frustrations or year long debates on what company to use. It is quite simple, once you get in the webmaster's frame of mind.

All about Green web Hosting

2009-05-22T01:19:00.000-07:00

We all want to do our part to help the environment. Businesses of all kinds and sizes can play a really active role in reducing waste and energy consumption. How? Recycling, purchasing supplies made from recycled materials, telecommuting options, using alternative energy sources and, of course, choosing green web hosting services.

What are green web hosting services? There are a few varieties, but for this discussion we will focus on the groups that use eco-friendly sources for electrical power. Servers are delicate creatures and require everything from stable and cooled environments to massive amounts of electricity. This all adds up to a lot of energy consumption and the green web hosting services work to ensure that they reduce or totally eliminate their reliance on anything but renewable resources.

For example, if a provider is unable to supply their own electrical service through wind, solar, biogas or geothermal equipment they can opt to buy Renewable Energy Certificates. This means that the power they are using is supplied from a company that uses only natural and renewable methods of generating electricity for public consumption.

Of course there are those green web hosting companies that actually create all of their own electricity. These groups will also employ solar panels, wind turbines and other mass energy production techniques to keep their equipment performing at optimal, reliable and impact free levels.

In addition to having no impact on the planet, many of these web hosting companies also make carbon offsetting a possibility as well. This allows other companies who want to mitigate their own greenhouse gas emissions to purchase offsets and thereby underwrite emission reducing projects like the green web host's wind farm or solar equipment.

The green web hosting providers might also extend special discounts to non-profit agencies and organizations or to companies who offer telecommuting to their staff or employees. They also may provide totally free software; use offices powered entirely by renewable energies and may be completely paperless.

Do they cost more? That is something that requires a little thought to answer. While they may not save loads of money, and run at the same price as many other competitors, it is crucial to remember how a single paperless company can reduce energy and materials wasted by the hundreds of tons. Imagine the positive and beneficial global effects of hundreds of companies participating in the green initiative simply by signing up with a green web hosting service!

How to Save Money on Domain Hosting and Website Cost

2009-05-22T00:51:00.000-07:00

In many instances, when people think about having an affordable custom website designed, they forget about the cost of domain registrations, and of monthly hosting charges, but, unlike web design, which is a one time investment, domain registrations are annual, and hosting costs are monthly, so shopping around is important!

Here are a few key points to remember when looking for web hosting for your affordable business website:

• Different domain name extensions, for example .com, .net, .biz and others are priced at different rates.
• This means that not only might you be able to get your chosen name, albeit with a slightly different extension, but by opting for anything other than a .com, you might pay less for it too. Even though you may save a couple of dollars by choosing a less common extension, most people remember .com.
• Most large web domain registrars and hosting companies offer package deals from time to time, that include a small amount of hosting space, and perhaps a single pop3 email account.
• While these types of packages may be a good idea for a very small starter site, if you are planning a site with graphics, photos, tables or other features, chances are you will need to opt for a separate hosting package.
• Another good idea, particularly if you will be having staff working for you, or plan to, is to sign up for more email addresses, which will help you sort through emails.
• Speak to the web designer you have chosen for the your affordable custom web design project, and find out how much space they recommend you opt for, based on your website plan, and then you'll need to address bandwidth, which will determine how much traffic your site can handle! There's no point in having a great site, that's well marketed, and receives a lot of traffic, only to find you don't have the bandwidth to support it!
• Check that the hosting package you choose has an FTP upload portal, which will make uploading your site, an updating it later on, much easier.
• Shop around for the best packages, and try considering smaller companies as well as larger ones, like go daddy.com, or yahoo.com.

Getting a professional, affordable custom website is entirely possible, although, you will need to take all factors into account. High domain registration charges, or monthly hosting costs, can add up, and may even end up costing you more than the web design cost itself!

If you are using a web designer, ask them to include the cost of domain registration and hosting, if they offer it, in your quote, as a separate item. You may find that it is easier, and possibly cheaper, to use their services, but if not, it gives you the option to shop around.

So remember, when planning an affordable custom website for your business, that design is not the only cost issue you will need to take into account. Make sure you get the best domain registration and web hosting package, that offers adequate space and bandwidth, along with email accounts, if necessary, and save all round!

Business Web Hosting

2009-05-22T00:43:00.000-07:00

Another important aspect should be considered before arriving at the solution business web hosting provider is the kind of connectivity it offers.

The most widely used type of web hosting is shared hosting with unlimited number of websites are hosted on one server. Moreover, Linux-based servers to satisfy users who do not use more than HTML pages, and that the work to be a bit cheaper.

E mail domaine hosting

2009-05-22T00:37:00.000-07:00

N this day and age, it has been a necessity for almost all online businesses to have their own business email address and be able to host it on a domain name of their own. The development of email has resulted in immediate ways to send and receive messages with the aid of the Internet. And so, some people might be wondering how email domain hosting partakes in the utmost achievement of a certain company’s marketing success. Well, the answer is very simple. Just take, for instance, all the hassles that you might experience in communicating with your overseas clients if emails did not exist.

Considering this situation, the importance of being able to get your hands on your own domain name is indeed one of the salient points you need to brood over when you want to build a new website that gets noticed. This is where email domain hosting enters the picture. In essence, email domain hosting is a hosting plan that gives emphasis to the importance of a domain name for a certain business.

As its fundamental meaning implies, “domain” pertains to the so-called URL or website address. It is likened to a map, for it directs the computers where to trace your site. This brings to light the accessibility that awaits every customer once they come to know your domain name. Generally speaking, all the emails are created to be transmitted to the principal user account for a certain domain name.

On the whole, a variety of email domain hosting packages can be accessed in today’s market. They only differ with each other in terms of specific features. Many companies have email services to fit in to the hosting plan needed. It is now dependent upon your preference as to which one you would go for.

3 Things You Must Know About Cheap Blog Hosting

2009-05-22T00:21:00.002-07:00

People often say that you get what you pay for, but is it true about cheap blog hosting? Not all hosts are created equal, so you need to be able to decide if the deal on offer is a good one or not. Here are three things you MUST know about cheap blog hosting.

1. Will I Have Enough Resources To Host My Blog?
===================================

A blog is usually run by scripts, and those scripts will take up disk space. Using Wordpress for example (which is perhaps the best overall choice for a blogging platform), starts at around 5Mb. Once you add a few plug ins to make the blog do what you want, then you are probably looking at another 5mb of disk space.

If you plan to run video on blog as well, then you could be looking at higher bandwidth as well, so in short, you need a reasonable amount of resources just to get started. This pretty much eliminates the free hosts, but most good hosts would cover you easily.

2. Will I have Enough Features To Host My Blog?
==================================

Again because blogs are usually scripts, your host needs to allow you to execute scripts from your blog. This is not as scary as it sounds because the top blogging platforms such as Wordpress can be automatically installed using Cpanel and something called Fantastico, which makes installation child's play. As long as Fantastico is available and you are able to run PHP scripts, then you have the features to host your blog.

3. Will I Get Help If I Run Into Trouble When I Host My Blog?
==========================================

Here is a biggy. Will your host help you if you get into trouble? Despite how much easier these things have been made, many people still come unstuck at some stage of the process. What you need is a web host who will try and go that extra mile for you when things get tough. Not everything is straight forward when you are web hosting, and a good web host understands that and goes of their way to help you. If the support from your cheap blog hosting is poor, then it is too cheap, and you should be looking elsewhere.

So there we have it. If you cover these three bases with your web host, then you can truly say that you have found cheap blog hosting that is good value for money. Good luck with your blogging!

Choosing a Good Web Hosting Company

2009-05-22T00:21:00.001-07:00

When looking at the internet, you realise that there are literally thousands of web hosting companies out there for you to choose from and this number is increasing on a daily basis. This means that there is an overload of information and companies for you to choose from, so when you do decide to pick a web hosting company, there are certain things you need to look out for. You need to make the decisions that are right for the very business of why you need a website in the first place, and this would normally mean that you have some sort of commercial interest online.

One of the things that will set a good web hosting company apart from its competitors is the fact that it ensures it has a good system of resource distribution. Once you feel that you are being marginalised or left out as a customer, then there is something wrong with the web hosting company, and most of the time, this is because they are way to stretched to offer you the kind of attention that you need. First and foremost, all of the smaller and newer web hosting companies out there will try and take as many clients as they can in an attempt to stretch their profits and this is not a good thing because they normally do not have the sort of resources necessary to pull this off.

What you will get is something of a slow, clogged up system with constant errors and overloads, and you can spot these web hosts a mile away simply by looking at their costs and their promise of 1001 things they can do for you. When you are running a business, you need things to be reliable and transactions through tricky and slow websites. Another thing you need to look out for is security, and this is really one of the more important things when looking at commercial transactions. One of the things about putting your credit card numbers online is that customers will always look out for security certificates and the good old SSL feature. They may come in other ways like VeriSign or Secure DSSL, but these are some of the names that you need to ensure you have as part of your package. Commercial programmes and third party applications that add more layer of securities will allow you to build trust with your customers.

The last thing you need to be looking out for is technical support, and you need to ensure that the web hosting company that you are dealing with gives you plenty of technical and customer support. There is nothing more frustrating when you have problems with your domain and you need to wait for an email reply to get things moving. You need to have instant contact with a customer support officer or some sort of technical contact point where you can sort out the problems you may or may not be having.

Use Multiple Domain Hosting And Reduce Your Hosting Costs

2009-05-22T00:20:00.001-07:00

If you are the owner of several websites then multiple domain hosting could help you significantly reduce your hosting costs.
Multiple domain hosting allows you to host more than one website on a single hosting account.Allowing you to have many websites while only paying for one.

Generally you don't purchase a website you purchase a hosting account. In some cases this hosting account can only be used to host a single domain and hence a single website. In others the account can be used to host multiple domains and hence multiple websites.

There are of course both advantages and disadvantages of hosting several domains on a single hosting account.

The main advantage is, of course, the cost. Because domains are much cheaper than website hosting accounts choosing an account that offer multiple domain hosting is a far cheaper way of hosting multiple websites than purchasing a hosting account for each website.

As an example: Take a hosting provider that offers a simple hosting package for approx £70 per year and uk domains for approx £2.00 per year.To host four websites using:

a) Separate accounts the cost is: £70 *4 + 4*2= £288 per year

b) A single account and multiple domains the cost is: £70 + £2.0 *4=£78 per year.

The saving is £210 per year.

The disadvantages are that traffic for each site is usually counted together against the single hosting account and if your websites are popular then you may exceed bandwidth and or disk space limits.

In addition you may find that the log files that are provided don't allow you to differentiate between the domains as all the traffic is counted against a single domain.

The Hosting account has a single password and hence once logged in you can administer each domain. Therefore each domain should belong to you.

So who needs multiple domain hosting? Well anyone who requires multiple websites with their own distinct domain name should consider this type of hosting account.

If you only intend to host a single domain or website then you shouldn't discard the idea; as in many cases they are usually no more expensive than single domain hosting solutions.

Because of the popularity of mini websites and website reselling there are many hosting companies that specialize in providing multiple domain hosting and offer substantial discounts depending on the number of domains you intend to host.

Multiple domain hosting has the potential to significantly reduce your hosting costs, but as is the case for choosing any hosting provider, you should be aware of what other website services you require and choose your hosting provider accordingly.

Don't just go for the cheapest or the one that provides the most services!

Virtual Domain Hosting

2009-05-22T00:17:00.000-07:00

If you are new to web hosting, you might be encountering words or technical terms whose definitions are strange to you. Among them could be the words “domain,” “domain name,” “web host,” “virtual host,” “web hosting” and “server.” First and foremost, you should understand that creating a website does not end with producing a well-made site design and coming up with a name for it. You have to register its “domain name,” and find a reliable “web host,” that could provide a secure “server” for your website.

In order for your website to be accessible by others via the Internet, you need to use a server. This is a huge computer or hardware that stores all the information contained in your website. The server has an IP address (a series of decimals) that is represented by an easy to recognize name, called a domain name. This is part of the website URL you place in the address bar and is used to identify your website’s location on the Internet.

A virtual domain is a domain hosted by a server that concurrently hosts other virtual domains. In contrast to a domain on a dedicated server, virtual domain shares with other web sites its access to the features of the single server that hosts all of them; thus, virtual domain hosting is also called as shared domain hosting.

The ways that a domain on a dedicated server and a domain on a virtual server are hosted are almost the same. The biggest difference between the two is that the first exclusively makes use of all the resources in its server, while the second has to share them.

If you own a medium-sized website, virtual hosting is the most affordable and most efficient web hosting solution you can avail of, since you own only a small part of the web server, while your site is given its own identity as if it had an exclusive server. A 5GB server space can cost you about $15 per month, while you can enjoy a 3GB disk space for only $3 to $4
