Answering Your Dedicated Server Questions

June 29th, 2008

So you’re in the market to host some data on the Internet. We’ve all seen the pop-up adds listing web hosting as low as $5 a month. But what do you really get for that fee? Usually you get shared space on a companies’ server, with your hosting battling it out with others on the same machine.

What if you have specific needs or non standard requirements for your hosting? Do you have concerns that poor performance of your hosting will affect your web presence? Are there concerns that other account users may access or damage your information? If so, perhaps a dedicated server is right for you.

How does it work?

Dedicated servers differ from the standard home computer primarily by means of the operating system. Specialized versions of Windows, optimized for network operations, and UNIX are utilized by dedicated servers.

Whereas your home computer becomes a word processor, a video game system, a check book balancer, and so on, a dedicated server utilizes a minimal user interface, allowing the majority of its work to occur on the network. CPUs are similar, as are memory and storage systems; however servers tend to have vast amounts of each.

Why dedicate a server?

In the hosting market, it is not uncommon for a service provider to rent server space to dozens, if not more, accounts on the same server. Depending on usage and number of requests, some accounts may suffer as the server reaches its limits.

Service providers also determine the hardware and software configuration of the machine. If you have requirements for some piece of software they have not installed, you may be out of luck. Dedicating a server puts you in control. From the hardware to the software, you choose the components that your server (Read more ...)

These days there is an enormous demand for web hosting services and becoming a web hosting reseller to try to help meet that demand can be an easy business to operate from home.

Without a hosting plan, a website is simply not accessible to people who are searching online, even if you have the best looking site and most amazing domain name or URL (Uniform Resource Locator). Regardless of whether a person is a dedicated server reseller or is someone who resells low cost hosting services, the fact is they are able to provide individuals and companies, who need to rent a place for their website to reside, with functional and reliable options.

When someone arranges for a web hosting reseller account, they are working with one of the very large web server hosting providers, which sells the hosting service to the reseller at a wholesale cost. The reseller can then repackage the resources available through their reseller account and can customize the packages that they offer. Many times a hosting reseller will custom design hosting packages that appeal to certain niche markets.

A hosting reseller does not own or operate the hardware, the web servers or the internet connections that are necessary to provide hosting. The equipment is purchased and maintained by the hosting company, which also provides the technical support and which is responsible for around the clock monitoring of the equipment. The reseller simply has gained rights to resell the services (Read more ...)

Is Free Web Hosting Worth It?

June 29th, 2008

Even though everyone likes to get something for nothing, the truth is that when it comes to your web host, choosing the best host possible is important if you want your new online business or website to succeed.
