Power Hosting your Way All the Way to the Bank
Posted by: | CommentsLet’s counter it; the Internet is here for good. Today’s Internet reminds one, of the California gold rush. There is a ton of bucks and chances to be made by everyone who wishes to take part in this modern era of gold rush. There are several people who have been drawn to the Internet just because of their ability to pull their time and make bucks even while they are sleeping. It makes it even a better opportunity than the gold rush!
Like any other offline business, an online business needs an address, or place on the Internet where one’s Web site is positioned. No one can just have a Web site and “fuse up” on the Internet. Unless one is having his/her own server, he/she has to use a hosting company. A hosting company provides its users an online address. This online address allows the search engines and people incisive for one’s product or service to enable them to locate one’s website.
So what is the entire dilemma about regarding hosting sites? Understanding a hosting provider’s websites can be considered equal to just as speaking a foreign language. They are full of numeric and characters and if one doesn’t know what they are describing, it can be both confusing and irresistible. Example: there is 50 mg space, and 2-gig data transfer, and front-page extensions, secures servers. What’s it all signify?
It is often considered that one don’t have to be a talented to have a great hosting service that serves his/her needs. One wants to be a well-known specialist in his/her particular field, and let the hosting company do his/her work, by providing excellent hosting and service. All what is required is to have a common awareness about hosting.
Now coming back to beginning one can assume hosting company as the highway department that permits the traffic, search engines, and people right to use to one’s website. The reason that this is highly central boils down to bucks in one’s pocket. One will feel great if his/her site is working properly but if his/her site is down, and not operating, people will buy somewhere else and how fair is that?
Firstly one should lay down probability that one will find the “ideal” hosting company. If one searches for his/her expectation, then surely what he/she will get is disappointment. Thus the most appropriate way to find a good hosting company is to look upon other site owners and webmasters what they make use of. People love to share their knowledge and one can frequently grab up many useful ideas.
Once one fined a company that seems to be hopeful, just one should see the kind of customer service offered. Customer support in the form of a “live” person to talk to is a very big advantage and well appeals a few extra fees. One should talk to the host companies on the phone, should explain what one is currently doing and should ask them if they can what one is searching for. Are they sociable, do they treat one like a human being; do they make recommendations without being assertive? Are they competent to flourish with one’s industry? The key to these queries will give one a better initiative of how to carry out a business successfully. Now after knowing the entire key points its up to the user to search the best out of the rest.
Best Way to Start One’s Own Web Hosting Service
Posted by: | CommentsThere are several webmasters who wants to start their own web hosting company. The first thing one needs to do is he should know that from where he should start. The next important question, which arises in the mind of the user, is from which source he will get the required information. This article will present the basic things that one requires in order to become a successful web-hosting provider.
Before starting, user should be very sure that becoming a successful web host is not possible by just reading the books rather it needs practical experience. It really sounds easy to run servers but actually running it is a damn difficult job. In many cases people who have taken good precautions while choosing an experienced server but still they should know by their own how to deal with security threats, downtime and fixing program errors, then only they can work properly else they have to face big problems.
Starting ones own hosting services is not an easy task rather it is very challenging and some times even irritating. One option to think about is reseller-hosting plans. There are many good web hosting companies offering paid reseller hosting and relieving user form wasting time in maintaining servers. One may consider this option to get a customer base going.
One can rent, lease or buy the servers, if he decides to buy the servers, he should get it custom made according to his specific needs, if user is having sufficient money, he can try to get a server that best fits into his plans. He will need a place to keep the server. He can find local building to do this or he can also keep it at home. But utmost care is required if user chooses the option to keep server as home as else it can lead to problem which one even cant imagine.
After crossing all these steps its time to choose the operating system. Now the next question that arises in one’s mind is-which operating system to be used i.e. Windows, Unix, etc., the next step is to opt the control panel like Cpanel, Plesk, etc., which security to use and many more. All these steps should be followed by proper research and care should be taken before finalizing anything. User should also keep in mind that if everything is going according to his requirements or not. User must also consider that there is several programming languages that can only run on certain operating systems, most web site owners want programming languages such as PHP or PERL.
There are many actions that should compulsorily be performed by the user and one of them is he should always keep his servers up to date with the latest security patches. He will need a good firewall; the firewall is first protection one has and most probably the best one. It’s also very important to monitor the servers full time for any errors, hackers or virus, one slight carelessness can lead to hacking of one’s server and result can be loosing all customers.
If any one desires to get the highest possible server uptime then he will require multiple Internet connections. Depending on the area in which one resides, it may be tough to find an Internet connection provider. One will need a fixed IP address, that won’t change after each use. All providers don’t offer this; so it is the responsibility of the users to check before he chooses.
Another point to consider is the pricing issue i.e. what are the charges one should ask for his web hosting services? If he is charging too high people will leave as being expensive, at the same time if the charges are quite low then too people will leave thinking servers are overcrowded with another web sites and that the services offered will be terrible. Now the question is what kind of plans to offer? Shared, reseller or dedicated hosting or maybe all of them.
When anyone really thinks about all these points, then he knows how difficult it is to become a successful web host and then the option which he considers best is to go with a reseller hosting plan, this will at least give one the taste of what he needs to do and help build him building a customer database
Cheap Web Hosting! How to Choose the Right Hosting Company?
Posted by: | CommentsAfter completing the tough part i.e. creating the web site, the next further step to be followed is to host it, so that public can find ones site. The bad web host company traps the customers who are new to this web world and are web host seekers. There are many factors to be considered while selecting a web host, but the factor placed at the top is none other than price. All the users want cheap web hosting but if the web hosting is chosen on the basis of only price then it will not satisfy other requirements.
One should be very careful while choosing the web hosting company.
If one is having the budget he can fix to it, if one is not having much idea about web hosting he/she may wonder “how do they make money” its better to be away, the chances are in order to save cost, the web site will be hosted with less bandwidth resulting in a very slow accessible and unprofessional web site. Also in this case, the customer support will be absent or very less.
One should be very clear about his/her requirements from the web hosting company, if the customer do not choose the company as per his/her requirements then its not the fault of host but only he/she will be solely responsible for that .Its good to make a list of requirements such as particular files needed and thereafter he/she can send his/her requirements to multiple hosting companies and can wait for the company come back with the greater service.
If any user is having more than one web site to host, as in case of affiliate marketers, its not good to put all sites with single host in the very beginning rather one should be 100% confident with the service and start with one web site as a test. The user should also keep in mind that if he/she wants to host all of his/her websites with one host company only, all it takes is, one problem to bring all his sites down and could result in lose of revenue. It is good to host some of the websites by another company so they can work even in case of problems.
Some web host companies offer testimonials on their own web site from valued customers recommending them. Seeing is not believing, one should call these customers and get a face value recommendation for him/her self.
What to do with the problems?
Now the problems can arise either due to the customer’s fault or by the web host company. There is no certainty of the technological Problem to occur, as it can occur any time but it’s all depending upon the host company how to handle such problem in order to keep the customer. If the user finds his/her web site dropping off line or slow downloading at a regular basis, then he/she should move to another web host company. If the problems pertain and the company is not paying attention to it means they are showing arrogant behavior towards their customers. Support is vital from a web host company and it should be 24 hour if it’s a large organization.
Virus Problems and Hackers
It is the responsibility of the company to ensure that the files of the customers are protected from virus and hackers at all times. There are number of companies having their web sites hacked and that happens only due to the reason that their web host company had not got the latest patches and security software applied. The new comers to web hosting should always ask how often updates and what software is used to protect web sites.
Tips:
One can have a good earning by his/her web site or can be this only source of income for him/her. Therefore one should always do his/her own backups of the web site. If due to any reason the web host company experiences problem and has no backups available, then the whole business could go stop. Backups are very crucial and have to be done as regular as possible in order to avoid problems afterwards. Some companies have testimonials on their web site from customers, one should not be afraid to call these guys for an up to date reference.
One should be very careful while dealing with host companies and should check recommendations and references very carefully. Always one should ask for the full contact details of the web hosting company, as there are many people who simply go online and have an email address only as the contact. Now if their email goes down and one needs to contact them one should have their full details at hand. One should always shop around for the different web hosting plans and should compare all the features available. On comparison it’s sure to get large differences, therefore it’s very important to check each and every thing before final sign up.
Choosing Penny Web Hosting
Posted by: | CommentsMany people heard saying “Penny-wise and Dollar-foolish”?
Choosing cheapest web hosting is not a good deal. If the user will only consider the money factor then he will have to regret later on as he will not get all the required facilities and the package he has chosen will then prove havoc.
If any user launches his website earlier in the “dark ages” of 1997 at that time he was charged $150 per month for hosting and data transfer charges. Then his web host keeps a close eye like an eagle over the number of files he uploads and always sends their heavily built invoices earlier with each passing month.
This is the claim not by just one person but by many people. Then suddenly a whole industry of “bargain” web hosts sprang up all over the web.
At that time cheap web hosting providers grows very rapidly as users welcome them very cheerfully. Now one can easily get the hosting facility by just spending $4.95 per month, as against $150 per month that he was paying for the same service earlier.
Just 5 bucks per month sounds really very interesting, until one realizes the amount of data transfer (number of page views) and bandwidth (the amount of data transfer his host allows in a 24 hour period) he gets for that cheap price harshly confines his capacity to do business.
This recognition – As soon as one recognized this fact as well as after understanding how data transfer and bandwidth gets calculated, one tends to recognize the disadvantages that he was suffering due to cheap price.
If any user exceeds the bandwidth limit allotted, then his bargain host will just shut down his site without any warning or else will send a huge bill.
Later on the webmasters who are truly professional realize that they’ve made a mistake by selecting a cheap host as their site suddenly gets shut down in the middle of a big promotion because of huge traffic. At that moment as one’s business is totally dependant on web site it seems like as if his whole business stops moving.
There are some cheap hosts providing good service, but one has to take utmost care and caution especially in the matter of bandwidth as it effects a lot afterwards when one’s business grows.
By just paying $24.95 per month one can get to host up to six independent websites with a single account. One gets unlimited data storage, unlimited email and a variety of other higher end services, but their bandwidth policy seems really hard to understand. So one should think again while hosting a bargain web host.
10 Web Hosting Tips to Consider When Selecting a New Host
Posted by: | CommentsThe following are the tips one must keep in mind while choosing a new web host: -
1) One must make sure that the new web host plan offers the storage capabilities to handle all of the current website storage requirements. If the size of the website is 50MB, then one must check for the plan that offers at least that much space or more. In case one is not able to make estimates about the space required then he/she must ask his/her current host. Also this information can be found on control panel.
2) One must also check how does his/her current web host determine the amount of storage used for? It is necessary to check what one’s current and new host includes in the plan’s storage amount also one should check are one’s emails and log files counted towards his/her total storage, or the web files only?
3) Its necessary to know what operating system does one’s current hosting plan use? Windows or Unix? Mostly it makes no difference but in some cases it can make the difference between a working website and a broken website. In case one’s site is currently on a Windows server and the website uses ASP scripting, then its difficult to make things work well on a Unix server, as ASP is a Windows based programming language. So one should check immediately whether his/her hosting plan is on a Unix or Windows server.
4) Also its important to check if one’s your site currently use FrontPage? Before switching to new host one should check if the new host supports FrontPage and the prevailing version.
5) Another important issue to take care is the amount of bandwidth offered by the new host. One should check if the new hosting plan offers the same amount of bandwidth that the current host offers. This should be checked in advance to avoid unexpected high bills afterwards.
6) Make sure if the new web hosting plan gives the same amount of email accounts, auto responders and mail forwards that the current host provides.
7) Its necessary to check if one’s site uses a shopping cart that the current hosting plan provides? It is essential to have a suitable shopping cart replacement in case one desires to move the cart to the new host. So one must check that as well.
If one is using any scripts on his/her website, its important to check if one’s new hosting plan supports all of one’s scripts. One must make sure in advance if there is any need to make any modifications to scripts to get them working on the new server.
9) Don’t forget to set up the existing email accounts on the new server before transferring domain name to the new server.
10) In case user is just a beginner and even don’t know how to upload files, its necessary to check with the provider if he can do that with no extra charges. There are some hosts who offer such facility free of cost yet some don’t offer this facility because of liability issues.
It’s necessary to double check if the site looks and functions properly on the new server after completing the uploading process. Preview facility is provided in the form of preview link to see how the site looks and some hosts provide this facility before the domain name is transferred over. In case this preview facility is not available with the host, still there is a method to preview the site. One can modify his/her host’s file to preview the site. The host file tells the computer where to go to look for sites that are listed in that file and this works with any version of Windows. Here the file location can change but the file name remains the same. Below is the way to modify the host’s file:
The file HOSTS should be in the c: windowssystem32driversetc One can find a file named HOSTS.SAM (as in SAMPLE). That is OK; one can modify the HOSTS.SAM file as well and do a SAVE AS HOSTS.
In both the cases one should double click on the HOSTS file to open it. Thereafter one will be prompted by Windows to select an Application (Program) to use to VIEW the file.
Now scroll the list and select Notepad and then one should click on the OK button. The NOTEPAD program will now open, displaying the file HOSTS.
So, in order to tell computer that www.yourwebsite.com is at the address (replaced with the real IP) 12.345.678.90 one should add the following entry to the bottom of the hosts file:
12.345.678.90 www.yourdomain.com (As in the example).
Now one should click on FILE, slide down and click on SAVE AS. Then in the Save As one should type field, select ALL FILES. After completing that click on save. One warning will come which should be ignored i.e. the file already exists but that’s ok, then just one has to click YES.
Now one should close Notepad, by clicking on FILE, slide down to EXIT, and click.
Now when one will open the web browser, or try to ping the site, the system will go to the IP address one typed in the HOSTS file.
One should not forget to undo this when testing is finished else the computer will always want to go to that IP address whenever one want to go to that site.
After being satisfied with the site looks and functions, one can go to his/her registrar (where the domain name is registered) and modify the nameservers associated with one’s domain name to his/her new web host’s nameservers. In case one does not know his/her new host’s name servers, should confirm with them. However most hosts have that information listed somewhere on their website or in the email one first get after signing up for an account.
After the completion of domain nameserver modification it will take around 24-48 hours and the site will be displayed on the new server.
One must check his/her domain name and should see if the nameservers added are listed. If yes, the website transfer is complete to new web host. And after the confirmation is received one can cancel the old web hosting account.

Web Hosting Tips for Searching a Web Host
Posted by: | CommentsThis article is useful for understanding the hosting industry and studies its dynamics to know what to look for before selecting a web host.
Firstly it is good to have a proper introduction of web hosting chain. It is termed as chain because here about 3 upstream providers serve the end consumer. First the web-hosting provider, who is in direct contact, then comes the web host’s upstream company who maintains the servers and sells space to web hosts, and above that, the data center that serves the purpose of providing the connection and houses the servers. There are some web hosts who act as the server administrator and liase with the data centers directly.
The growth of the web hosting industry in at saturation point due to the presence of hundreds of web-hosting providers claiming to provide cheaper and better services to businesses and individuals. The reason for this is the availability of resources in abundance and at cheaper costs with reducing disk space and data-transfer prices. Its easy to enter the web hosting business as there are large resellers of server space providing cheap hosting and reselling plans that provides ground to incomers to join the business.
Due to growing number of suppliers with cheaper reselling plans, more and more web hosting businesses are coming up providing web-hosting solutions to business and individual websites due to lower fixed costs and investment. Not only that this increase in supply is not caused by factors in any particular country. As Internet is not limited to the boundary of any country so the data centers present in any part of the world can easily provide the servers and web space for a local hosting company. Due to Internet it is easy to communicate to each other and providers can easily exchange their services in the global space.
Maintaining a proper balance between supply and demand is quite good for the customers. But imbalance has forced several new web-hosting providers to offer extremely low prices for their web hosting plans or packages in order to make them self stand in the tough market. Now it’s time for customers to choose the hosting providers having lowered prices from the vast number of providers.
However, continuous decrease in prices is quite disadvantageous for both the providers as well as the customers. By reduces prices, companies are able to earn nominal profit and are even not able to cover their support costs. Customers suffer by getting less support with their web-hosting accounts. It’s quite obvious if the profits do not justify the costs, web-hosting companies will easily close down and takes their clients’ sites with them.
The following are the factors to consider while choosing a web-hosting provider: -
The most important factor to consider is Support for any individual or small business looking for a web host for their websites. The Internet web-hosting provider who is unable to provide the facility of responding to emails within 24 hours is probably having problems providing fast and reliable support services. One can’t ignore the validity of these services especially for the beginners who needs guidance with publishing their websites on the web hosting account provided. The success of any web hosting business depends upon the relationships between web host and web hosting customers. To make business success, provider should be able to provide services when and where required also its crucial for customers to know when their site is going offline for sake of maintenance.
After support next important factor is Stability. It refers to how much uptime one can expect from the web-hosting provider, which in turn depends upon the providers’ servers and network. If the providers are not having reliable and stable providers, it would affect their servers and cause problems for the website. It is must to have an uptime of about 99.5% in the industry, as there are other external factors, which may be beyond control of the provider.
Third factor to consider is Cost which depends on the purpose of the website and budget. The budget may be smaller in case of Personal /Individual websites and so they opt to go with a cheaper web hosting provider, possibly in exchange for support and stability. But in case of business sites as they need better stability and support they opt for expensive host providers. It is most often observed that cheap web hosting providers are able to attract customers in the beginning by offering low prices but afterwards fails in providing quality support to their customers thereby creating problems for them. Also the large numbers of client sites cause sustained high server loads which leads to server crash thus hampering stability.
Another factor, which is not so important, is Location of the server. It is not considered important as it depends upon a user’s ISP/country’s connection to the data center where the server is located. Pings to the server normally tells the network latency to expect when people can access to one’s site. Lower ping rates leads to loading of site faster.
Last but not least one should take time to identify and contact a web host to check their service. This helps in providing an idea of the kind of support that one might receive and helps in deciding the reliability of the provider.
Worth of Educated Choice While Opting for a Web Host Provider
Posted by: | CommentsChoosing one of the best web-hosting providers among countless number of providers is the toughest job. The one who is going to opt for any of the provider should have proper knowledge of his/her requirements. There are several points which one should take care while searching for a web host. First of the entire customer should list down all the requirements and then search the hosting provider according to it. Finally when one of the providers is selected by the user after proper research it is but obvious that the provider chosen is definitely having some extra ordinary qualities in comparison to other providers.
This is well known that due to tough competition where all providers become very smart in presenting themselves, it is very difficult for the customers to choose one of them for their business. The only help line left with the customers is “knowledge”, as by knowledge only the customers are able to decide for what factors to be considered while making decision. It is important for customer to gain knowledge but the point is how and from where to acquire knowledge.
In service sector knowledge plays very crucial role such as the knowledge of the technologies behind the service, knowledge about the folks behind the service, knowledge of the customer service, knowledge of scaling of quality of the hosting available and many more things to be listed.
The very first step taken by most of the customers is to create a budget boundaries for the hosting service, but the professional users who knows the worth of reliable hosting will place the monetary factor not on the top but some where in the middle on his total considerable factor’s list. Rather it is considered important even before one acquires knowledge of the factors to be considered.
Now lets look at one example, if the budget which one has allocated is less then 100$ then he/she ignore terms like dedicated servers collocation, etc. however more the budget more are there chances to learn.
There are many sources to acquire knowledge, the first and foremost source is to read more articles as articles shows the complete picture, more reading means more knowledge .One more advantage of this means is that it is the cheapest mean to acquire knowledge. The topic once chosen to read is based on the budget. Budgeting is not just about money but also about time. One should read the topic according to his/her requirements and should consider the sources correctly.
One very crucial point the customer should keep in his/her mind is that he/she should always go for the right source of information ,so as to choose a good hosting provider. Customer should also have answers of some particular questions such as is he/she knows the meaning of five nine’s and its need for the business. Does customer want PHP technology for his/her web site? Will the customer give preference to a dynamic and faster website over a reliable standard search friendly simple web site?
When customer visits each of the providers then all of them will try their level best to sell their huge plan that contains the features that are never required.
Let’s look at another example; the factor that makes the hosting provider expensive is Urchin stats, actually for this, the providers have to pay a good license fee which they use to transfer on the customer’s shoulder. For running a good business some of the free stats or the open source solutions are more than enough. The hosting providers make these additions to make their package more attractive. One needs to judge through the core features and then finally should go in for the add-ons, which may complement the core.
Let’s move further and look at the other sources. The other reliable source is that customers can talk directly with the hosting providers and ask them for an honest opinion on the features which his/her business requires. So the conclusion is that after reading the articles and getting directly contact with 8 or 9 providers, one can have a good amount of knowledge and can say that he/she now can act intelligently while choosing hosting for him/her. Generally what happens, the small website owners make silly mistakes such as they compromises with cheap sources and ignore the rest things. There are many providers who are ready to provide their services at very cheap rates but their services are of no worth and unreliable ,as when ever they are needed they gets disappear.
A good provider is the who always provides the proper support when ever needed and also charges the customers according to the support provided .At last but not least the important source with whom the user can consult is with the web consultants or one can talk to folks who have hosted before. This is a long process but the knowledge customer gains from this source are really appreciable. When a user negotiates for a best deal and when he/she gets all his/her issues resolved or one’s when business grows it is then that a real good host is required to make one’s success a history.
