An Introduction to Dedicated Hosting

By admin on Thursday, September 2nd, 2010 | No Comments

Dedicated Hosting is a form of web hosting whereby an entire server is leased by a single client. This is then used to host their website and only their website.

Dedicated Hosting is the opposite of shared hosting, whereby a number of clients share the same server. This is cheaper and usually adequate for small websites, whereas dedicated hosting is more appropriate for larger sites or those with large databases. It is more expensive but for some sites it can end up being more cost effective due to the benefits it offers.

One advantage is that the client has full control over the server. The server is not affected by other sites sharing the server as it could be with shared hosting. They also have a choice of operating system and hardware as well as other variables. They have complete control over any changes they wish to make with regard to their hosting. The impact of other websites on the server is completely redundant, as there are no other websites sharing it with them.

On a shared server other sites may use an unexpectedly large amount of bandwidth at times and this could affect other sites on the same server by leaving less bandwidth for them. This is obviously not the case with a dedicated server. There is generally plenty of extra bandwidth available and if there is suddenly a significant increase in visitors then it is able to cope with this. Security is another factor that is improved by a dedicated server. Again, because there is only one website on the server there are no other sites to compromise security. For websites where security is of particular importance paying the extra for dedicated hosting is a wise decision.

Dedicated Hosting can be either managed or unmanaged. With a managed hosting package the hosting company runs the server and the hosting. They provide all hardware and software and make sure the server is running properly. They also provide support, often on a 24/7 basis. They may also take care of certain administration tasks and are responsible for making sure the server remains secure.

These benefits are not offered with unmanaged hosting. Here the client is in control; something that is seen as a positive by some but a negative by others. It means all choices are made by the client which can have its benefits. It is a disadvantage though for clients who don’t have the skills or the time to deal with the hosting and any problems that may arise. Unmanaged dedicated hosting should therefore only be chosen by clients who are willing and able to perform all hosting tasks themselves.

Dedicated hosting has many benefits for those websites that have the need for it. For small websites it is generally not necessary and shared hosting is adequate, but for many the benefits if offers are worth the extra financial outlay.

How to Save Bandwidth For Your Web Hosting

By admin on Tuesday, August 31st, 2010 | No Comments

It’s confusing between bandwidth and data transfer, especially when web hosting companies are using the terms without much explanation. For clarification, bandwidth refers to the measurement of maximum data that can be transferred in a given time; while data transfer is the amount of data can be transferred. Fundamentally, we can understand data transfer as the consumption of bandwidth.

Hosting bandwidth affect a website performance directly. Website with lower bandwidth loads slower; vice versa website loads faster with huge bandwidth. Regardless of users Internet connection speed, your website will load slowly when the data transfer capacity is running low. Some web users will need to wait for their turn to access your website whenever the bandwidth is temporarily fully used.

How you can save bandwidth?

As bandwidth is an important asset for every website, web owners or designers should always build their website with minimum bandwidth requirement. Fancy flash presentation, huge audio and video files streaming, and high resolution images are all huge bandwidth eater. You should avoid using any of them if your web host is running out of bandwidth.

Keeping your web design clean and simple reduce bandwidth usage. Nested tables and excessive empty tags are always wasting the server resources thus should be avoided. Try design your website with CSS and JavaScript kept externally instead of burying them in every single page of your website.

Also, out of control robots can also suck down your bandwidth like a black hole. Avoid unknown bots crawling your website via a filter list on robots.txt also helps a lot in reducing bandwidth usage.

Web Hosting Reviews – Important Factor When Choosing a Web Hosting Provider

By admin on Monday, August 30th, 2010 | No Comments

Web hosting reviews allow you to evaluate which web host is capable in giving you fast, reliable and overall efficient service. But how do you know that a web hosting company is dependable before even trying it? There are different factors to be considered in choosing the best web host. These factors may vary depending on what type of service you want to avail: free service or paid service.

In choosing a free website hosting provider, you must consider six factors. First, is advertising. Free websites are ad-supported and web hosts do not give you the autonomy to choose what ads to advertise or in what form it should be displayed. Some ads may be in the form of advertising frames, banner, or pop-up windows. Before you sign up for any web hosting company, try to look in what method is to be used for the ads and pick one that would suite you. Next, consider the amount of web space. Try to decide whether the web space is enough for your needs or not. You should also consider if they offer FTP access. This access enables you to create and design and customize your own page.

Usually, those website hosting service providers that do not offer FTP access has an online builder but it has limited features. You should also look into file size and file types that are allowed by your web host. One important factor you ought to consider is the speed access of your service provider. If your site is always slow, most people would disregard your site look for another site with faster access. Lastly, you must also consider the bandwidth allotment. Some website hosting company only allows you to a certain number of traffic per day. If in any case more people view your site than what is allotted, web hosts may disable your account. Information regarding free web hosts can be seen through web hosting reviews available in the internet.

There are different things you need to keep in mind if you want a commercial website. You need to get a paid service so that you can post advertisements in your website. Reliability and speed of access comes first. Next to it is the bandwidth and disk space. Some web hosting reviews show that a number of web hosts offer unlimited bandwidth and disk space. That may not be true because these website hosting providers are paying for the band width and disk space. They will not allow you to consume much of that to the point where they save a meager profit. Another thing, in web hosting reviews, some web hosts advertises 24/7 technical support. You have to make sure that these ads are true by emailing them on a Saturday or Sunday. You should also take into consideration the price of the web hosting package. Make sure that it is within your budget.

Web hosting reviews are very helpful in determining the best web host that has a quick connection and is dependable. Though, web hosting reviews can be superficial at times. You have to try it yourself so that you could ascertain that what the web hosts advertise is true.

Cheap Unlimited Hosting – Which One Can You Trust?

By admin on Saturday, August 28th, 2010 | No Comments

Once you start surfing the net for web host providers you will see a lot of services termed as “cheap unlimited web hosting“. Given the current economic crunch these services are very tempting especially since the price quoted is very low. Before you opt for the cheap unlimited hosting service you need to know exactly what you are getting in for. As a general rule you need to read the fine print and do your research before you sign up with any web hosting service. There is always the risk that you are signing in into a program that does not provide you what you want and you will end up paying for things you did not plan for or need.

Cheap Unlimited Hosting may not really be cheap:

Price should not be the deciding factor in web hosting services. Cheapest is not necessarily the best of course, but expensive many times does not deliver too. There is no substitute for research. While trying to decide which web hosting service to select for your needs you need to study the package offered. Perhaps the cheap unlimited hosting that you are going for is giving you a lot of storage space (may be unlimited) but not giving you the bandwidth that you need.

You really need to check out all the services that are being provided, the support they offer, the web hosting service’s compatibility with other web sites, even the type of control panel they offer. Many times web hosts have their own website builders. They charge for the design but then this limits your own design. In case you already have a website, and you are moving it, you need to check for compatibility with formats like FTP etc.

Cheap Unlimited Hosting Limitations:

No web hosting company can give you unlimited bandwidth and space. This is the hard truth. These cheap services come with a lot of limitations. You actually often end up paying a whole lot of additional costs that you did not plan for. Many times you end up paying more for these services than for other web hosts that tell you upfront what you are paying and what services are being provided. Like said elsewhere in the article, you need to study the fine print.

Hidden costs come in many ways. You have settled for a certain sum of money to be paid once the term ends. You can never control the traffic to your website. Once the traffic takes up a whole lot of bandwidth, the web host just adds the cost to your bill. This cannot be anticipated, and may not be what you have planned for.

As a safety measure, do not sign up for long periods of time. Sign up for one year, not more. Once you have dealt with the host and are satisfied, then you can sign up for a longer period of time. I agree that longer subscriptions are cheaper, but they may get you stuck.

I have tried many web hosts but have settled with Fatcow hosting company because of the service I have got from them. They are reasonable and upfront about their package and their support has been excellent.

Cheap Hosting Service Guide

By admin on Friday, August 27th, 2010 | No Comments

People carry this misconception that cheap means bad, and that the quality is low. Without researching further, this instant assumption, in my view, is not valid. Since hosting business thrives in a fierce competition, even the top hosting companies are compelled to provide several incentives to their customers that reduce the hosting price significantly; thus the price seems very low; but the users tend to overlook the truth that the price has simply been discounted. And this kind of cheap hosting services usually comes in the form of a shared web hosting environment, which will be explained below.

It is not necessary that you have to adopt a cheap web hosting package, each hosting company is unique in its own way, and offers several hosting plans. The customer can even choose the free web hosting solution to host their sites. But that option is not often recommended. Yes, you do not pay a penny of his pocket, but you must make many compromises on the road. The first and most important is that the page is in the form of banner and text ads are covered all over the place with tons of advertising. Second, free hosting service can not be relied on completely. There is no guarantee that their servers are monitored day and night. The servers are very pleased with a number of other sites that have populated thedirectly affects the loading time of your website. Imagine you have a site that sells some product or goods, and then you are running it on some free hosting, what would happen to your business, if it is unreachable to your customers. Your business would certainly head towards the tank, and then you will lose money.Even if your site provides value and useful resources to your users, there is no use, if it cannot be reached by the viewers! They would be frustrated and move away. Also with free hosting, you barely get the amount of bandwidth, disk space, email accounts or scripting software that are essential to run your websites. And the security of sites is always a prime concern with free hosting.

So the better option is to select a cheap hosting service, which is provided by web hosts in a shared environment. Yes, you share the server with the other websites but this is the most popular plan that is being utilized by around 90% of the webmasters. Why? Because this shared web hosting plans are foremost cheap, and now that the competition is huge, you can get lots of bonuses and all the features that are needed to effectively run your websites for a very low price. Most cheap hosting service is as low as $5 depending on the hosting company. Like I said even the reputed and top hosting companies are offering this cheap hosting plan as it is practical, functional and perfect for people who are seeking for budget hosting and also reliability and functionality for their websites. Of course, once your site gets big and receives a large number of traffic then you can always adopt the Virtual Private Server hosting or even the dedicated servers, where you rent the whole server for yourself. Certainly, these two solutions will provide more functionality, power, and robust control to your sites; however, they are pricier compared to shared hosting plan, so these solutions are appropriate only if you need them.

Otherwise, shared web hosting plan are just fine. The price is affordable and the service you get is more than what you need for running your basic websites (ranging from personal to medium-sized e-businesses). Most of these shared hosting plans nowadays come with unlimited bandwidth, unlimited disk space, free domain, MySQl databases, programming languages such as PHP, Perl, Ruby, and almost all the scripts and software for ease of use and functionality of websites.

However, my proposal to conduct the research, while a wide range of hosting provider. Basis for your needs, make a short list of hosting company different. Compare their plans and features. How is the support system? And '24 / 7? It's actually a good idea to host the test service before purchasing. So do not hesitate to e-mailor even call the host, and always ask questions. If you are able to get professional help within a certain period of time and you feel quite satisfied with them, then it would be easier for you to choose the one that you like the most. Make sure they do not surprise you later with any hidden fees, long term contracts, or even set up fees. Since, website hosting is a large market with many companies out there, approach cautiously, and choose a reliable web host that fits your hosting needs.

Choosing a Web Hosting Company – 3 Factors to Keep in Mind

By admin on Thursday, August 26th, 2010 | No Comments

Choosing a web hosting service is among the most important decisions you will have to make when building your website. The quality of your hosting company will decide the quality of experience your website’s visitors will have.

So how does one go about picking a web host?

For most small businesses or personal sites that will hardly experience tons of traffic, spending hundreds of dollars on a quality dedicated web host such as Rackspace or Media Temple is just wastage of resources.

Rather, you should purchase a shared hosting account at one of the larger web hosts such as Hostgator, DreamHost, JustHost, etc.

Customer support should be a vital factor in making your decision. Running a site can be a difficult task and you will run into a lot of technical difficulties over time. If your host takes days to answer your queries or correct a flaw, the experience of your site’s visitors will definitely suffer. Ideally, your host shouldn’t take longer than 6-8 hours on a normal business day to answer your Query.

Finally, you should look to add services such domains can accommodate more, cPanel (Control Panel) services such as Fantastic, SEO, etc., and if the host provides the latest versions of PHP, MySQL, etc (these are programming languages , the pages run a majority of the world.) bandwidth, memory, etc. are things that really do not do much with problems, if you expect to receive thousands of visitors daily.
