Exchange Server 2007
Exchange Server 2007 was released in late 2006 to business customers as part of Microsoft’s roll-out wave of new products. It includes new clustering options, 64-bit support for greater scalability, voice mail integration, better search and support for Web services, better filtering options, and a new Outlook Web Access interface. Exchange 2007 also dropped support for Exchange 5.50 migrations, routing groups, admin groups, Outlook Mobile Access, X.400, and some API interfaces, amongst other features.
Exchange Server 2007 (v8 or with SP1 v8.1) runs on 64-bit x86-64 versions of Windows Server only. This requirement applies to supported production environments only; a 32-bit trial version is available for download and testing. However, companies currently running Exchange Server on 32-bit hardware will be required to replace or migrate hardware if they wish to upgrade to the new version. Companies that are currently running Exchange Server on 64-bit capable hardware are still required to migrate from their existing Exchange 2000/2003 servers to a new 2007 server since in-place upgrades are not supported in 2007.
The first beta of Exchange Server 2007 (then named “Exchange 12″ or E12) was released in December 2005 to a very limited number of beta testers. A wider (Read more ...)

Web hosting is the service that allows you to have a website on the Internet.

Web site hosting is, in fact, a diverse array of web services that allow users access to a server with varying degrees of control and responsibility, so that they can publish web pages on the web without having their own web server. Web hosting has also been defined as the act of storing the files for a web site on a specific computer (called a ‘server’) which displays them as necessary to people as they visit that web site.

A hosting service at its most basic comprises an allocation of hard drive space and the use of RAM and processing time on a server, as well as a fast connection to the Internet.

A dedicated hosting service is also referred to a dedicated server or managed dedicated server hosting. It is one specific type of internet website hosting service which is used to get the concerned website files uploaded and have their website displayed online. Dedicated hosting services are mostly needed by clients who have large websites that generate high volumes of traffic. The two most common reasons for a dedicated server, is to enjoy the benefits of large bandwidth usage and good performance. In a dedicated hosting service, a specific server is used for a website. The hosting company that offers dedicated hosting service takes care of servers, software’s and other requirements. Dedicated hosting service involves high cost. The hosting company has to make a considerable investment in hardware and software. Also, it requires more investment in training and skills development of their staff. The hosting company has also to remain updated with the latest developments in hardware and software. In a dedicated web hosting service, the client need not bother to control the hardware or software that is required to run the server. Also, the client does not have to employ any technical resources in order to maintain the hardware and software. It is the dedicated hosting provider who is responsible for having a technical support staff which will be available around the clock to immediately take care of problems and assure that the server is up and it is working at all times. The website uptime can be enhanced by on-site support and monitoring results. Uptime can be considered as the percentage of time that the website is running.

These days you can easily come across so many different web hosting plans. Each of them has their own plus points and negative points too. The least expensive and quite popular enough is shared hosting. Here, there are hundreds of web sites which are all sharing a single and large hard drive. However, this type of hosting is not suitable for all types of sites. There are certain websites which get high traffic. Usually, those websites which get high traffic are the ones who opt for a dedicated server. Virtual Private Servers is considered to be the poor mans dedicated server.

In a VPS hosting, the server is partitioned into multiple private spaces. Although you are still sharing a server with other clients, yet you get your own private ‘slice’ of this server. In such a situation, your website performance will not be affected by the other clients who share the same server. This is because each client has his own virtual private space in which they run. Hence, clients who opt for VPS servers, has access to the same type of services which is similarly compared to a dedicated hosting concept. Shared server accounts often depend upon the performance and good behavior of the neighboring accounts. Suppose, if one account violates their terms of service by sending emails, this type of action will load the server and in the bargain, it will create an adverse effect upon the performance of all the shared server accounts that are available on that particular server.
