Avoiding Bad Web Hosts
The Internet represents the most powerful communication revolution since the dawn of mankind. Its communication power can literally create business empires faster and with less startup capital than in all human history. Yet, with all this power at their fingertips, it amazes me that most businesses and entrepreneurs will put their business in jeopardy just to save a couple of bucks. Would you build a luxury home on a foundation made for a double-wide trailer' Would you mount a race car body and engine on a chassis built for a go-cart' If not, then why would you try to build a legitimate online business to support your family and contribute to your livelihood using $4 a month hosting' It doesn't make sense, but people do it every day and, unfortunately, the consequences can often cost you a hundred times or more of what you "saved." When you go to choose a web host, you need to think in terms of the purpose for your website(s). If you want a little family site or a non-commercial blog, then $5 a month hosting may be just what you need. If you want to host a basic, but dependable website to sell your own, or someone else's products, then plan on $9-20 a month, depending on how much hand-holding you need from your web host's technical support staff. If you want to host multiple sites to generate search engine traffic, sell your own products online, and get a moderate amount of traffic, then plan to spend $15-$50 a month, depending on which options you choose. If you plan to operate a serious e-commerce site and need the flexibility to grow, then a dedicated server for $100- $200 a month may fit the bill. When evaluating a web host, keep the following in mind. Will you run scripts on your website' If yes, then make sure the web host offers a cgi-bin and mysql database. Those allow you to run almost any kind of script you'll need on a basic to intermediate level site. Will you have your own "dedicated IP address'" All domain names correspond to an IP address, which is just a series of numbers. Just like a phone number dials up the correct phone anywhere on earth, each domain has its own number. However, depending on how your host sets up their server, your domain can actually share an IP address with dozens, even hundreds, of other websites. If one of those websites misbehaves, it can adversely affect everyone on that same IP address. My advice: pay a little extra to make sure you get your own dedicated IP. How much space will you need' Make sure you get at least 100 megabytes of space from your web host. Also, make sure you get at least 10 email forwarding accounts and 10 gigabytes of data transfer per month. Also, the hosting market is so competitive now that you should never pay a setup fee. If in doubt, shop around, compare and always ask someone you trust or check up on what others have to say about a specific hosting service by visiting sites like http://www.webhostingtalk.com The moral here' Understand that your web hosting account is literally the "foundation" for your online business, so don't skimp. You're only hurting yourself in the long run if you do.

Getting The Best Web Hosting For Your Business After the dot.com bubble burst a few years back I really thought that the Internet craze was over. With sites folding faster than newbies at a Texas Hold 'Em table it seemed like all those tech-crazed nerds would have to go out there and get real jobs like the rest us.

Windows vs Linux : Hosting The Basics of Linux & Windows : What Is Web Hosting' The best way to explain this is by comparing it to a real-life (brick & mortar) situation. Picture a web hosting company as the owner of a shopping mall. The shopping mall owner invested a lot of money on hiring architects, constructors, engineers, etc. to build it.

Free Web Hosting Tips 1. The reliability of the service and their offers. Server Uptimes Revealed: The Hidden Cost of Cheap Hosting We often see server uptime statistics when looking for hosting providers, for example 99.8%, 99%, or 99.99% server uptime guaranteed. Though 99% server uptime may sound good, but is it really and what does it mean? Choosing the Right Web Host So you've decided about your website design and now you are ready to have your website hosted! Virtual Private Servers (VPS) Web Hosting A Virtual Private Server (VPS), also referred to as Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS), provides the features of a dedicated server for multiple web hosting customers to share. At first instance it sounds contradictory, how can you have a dedicated server if it is being shared by multiple users? Isn't that a regular shared or virtual hosting environment? It is true that with a Virtual Private Server you still share system resources like the CPU and RAM with other users but the resources are allocated in such a way that you cannot tell that the system has anyone else on it, much like a dedicated server. So resources are usually setup in such a way that each hosting client is only allowed to use an allocated percent, meaning that resources assigned to you will always available to you. Advantages of Virtual Private Server (VPS) web hosting Most hosting customers would rather have complete control of their server environments. They don't want to be hosted on a server with tens or hundreds of other users, who could easily use up all the resources or cause the server environment to be unstable. But at the same time most websites don't need a dedicated server. The Virtual Private Server (VPS) alternative is a very attractive niche hosting solution for a fairly large chunk of web hosting clients who would like the stability of a dedicated server but on a smaller scale. With the resources setup in such a way that each person can only use what is allocated to them, your site will be more consistent because it will always have the same amount of access to the CPU, memory, and bandwidth. Virtual Private Servers are also more secure since even as you share the memory and CPU time, you are allocated your own file system. If a website on the server is hacked, the hackers will only have access to that particular file system and would not harm the other websites. A VPS is also much cheaper than a dedicated server. Disadvantages of Virtual Private Server (VPS) web hosting Now that you have read the pros of a VPS you are probably thinking that this is the best thing since sliced bread. Well, almost - as is the case with every other type of hosting service, not all providers setup or define Virtual Private Servers, also known as Virtual Dedicated Servers, the exact same way. You must make sure that your provider guarantees that their setup is robust enough to handle operations at a peak level. A trick used by many providers in the reselling and shared space is 'overselling'. What this means is selling more in terms of services than what physically available, with the hope that the end users wouldn't use up all the service that were advertised to them. In the realm of VPS this can be a bit more serious, since at least the expectation is that you are operating in a more robust environment and many clients could be running more intensive applications like message boards or custom web applications. A shortfall of resources could end up causing problems for everyone hosted on such a server, therefore negating the benefits of a VPS. In a shared or dedicated environment you might be able to access more resources during peak or spike periods but since the VPS environment limits you to to your slice of the server resources, it can be a drawback. As if the technology rich lingo of regular web hosting wasn't enough, the VPS services add a few new wrinkles. Apart from storage space and bandwidth you must also deal with CPU cycles and RAM. So you will see ads for hosting that might include *** MHz and *** MB RAM to go with the usual hosting related features. It is somewhat harder to figure out how much CPU time or RAM you might need, so seek out a hosting provider that will provide you with some benchmarks and the ability to upgrade or downgrade the VPS service if needed. Conclusion - Allows complete control of your virtual server and its resources - Allows you to run web applications without adversely affecting other clients - Flexible - cheaper than dedicated hosting, more expensive than shared Please refer following web sites for useful resources related to web site hosting: http://www.vipwh.com http://www.thehostingguide.com Nine Things To Know Before Selecting The Web Host For Your Business It may seem simple yet it is often times overlooked.
