How to choose the right dedicated server hosting for your e-business

October 30th, 2008

What is dedicated server hosting?
Simply put, dedicated server hosting simply means taking an entire web server on rent from your hosting service provider. This is different from shared server hosting, where a number of clients are hooked to the same server and share the resources of the server jointly.

What are the advantages of dedicated server hosting?
If your e-business is showing any signs of expansion, then you should probably consider renting a dedicated server. When you rent an entire server, you have the freedom to customize the server as you wish. So, customized options are within reach. In case your website attracts huge traffic, then you will need the additional resources provided by a dedicated server. Besides, the extra money you pay ensures that you receive powerful, high-capacity servers with 24/7 on-line technical support, which is vital if you want to avoid downtime. Upgrades, when you need it, are faster and cheaper and can occur in less than 24 hours.

How to select the right dedicated server hosting?
The main reasons for you to buy dedicated server hosting are high traffic and business volumes. If you have a website that is large enough to justify the cost of a dedicated server, then the ideal host should give you access to excellent front end and back end tools. Most dedicated servers provide you with standard features like Cpanel and systems for maintaining the software you have installed on your server. Here are some points for you to consider.

Top reasons why windows reseller hosting plans sell

October 30th, 2008

As hosting plans have evolved to new levels of competitiveness, so also reseller hosting is making giant advances. The term ‘reseller hosting’ may seem a little ambiguous. But, it basically means that a reseller buys a web hosting package from a merchant and sells this independently. The seller makes a profit from the discount that the merchant offers. As the number of customers increases, the reseller will be able to make larger profit margins. Many merchants offer commission when sellers refer customers to the merchant.

Windows reseller hosting plans are basically the resale of windows based hosting plans. Both Linux and Windows are equal players in the web-hosting arena. But, windows reseller hosting plans have some definite advantages, which makes it a popular choice among many customers. Here are some of the reasons why many customers switch over to windows reseller hosting plans.

Powerful, user-friendly tools: Windows, from the time of its inception, has always valued customer friendliness above all else. Thus, a Windows platform is very easy to use, with customer friendly options and tools. Besides, a windows reseller hosting plan also gives you access to ASP.Net, which is a very powerful tool when it comes to developing web based applications. With ASP.Net, you will also be able to use popular content management systems like DotNetNuke. It is true that ASP scripting runs on UNIX platforms, but you would still not have full access to all the powerful features of ASP.Net as this has been developed for full Windows compatibility. On the other hand, you can run applications written in other languages. So, you still have access to Php and MySql, if you need them.

The most famous remotely hosted blogging software should be Blogger.com, or MySpace.com. They provide you with a blog platform including blog software, and the hosting. In order to start blogging, you will only need to open an account with them, and everything will be setup automatically in minutes. And usually, you can get all those as free.

Although this type of blogging system will give you a very easy and low-cost startup, there are some cons. of it as well, such as:

The system is less configurable

Most of them are very limited in terms of features and it’s very hard to design a professional bog template with the functional they provide. You will see that almost all the blogs hosted by them looks close.

URL to Your Blog is Generic

The URL to your blog is either a sub-domain of the site or an inner link of them. You will not have your very own Blog URL. When it comes to a time that you plan to host the blog by yourselves as the growth of it, then there are 2 big issues you have to face:

  • It’s hard to migrate the content of the existing blog to the new blog platform since the technology used is not open.

    Blog Hosting Guide

    October 30th, 2008

    Blogging is something quite popular in the current world. People write blogs for either personal interests or business reasons. And considering the important of a reliable hosting to the success of your blog, it’s worthwhile to take some time to find out what hosting is the best for it.

    Server Type

    The most popular and powerful blog software is WordPress, an open source application developed by php and running against MySQL database. So, from technical viewpoint, Linux web hosting solution is the best choice for your blog, and it’s relatively cheaper than a Windows one as well.

    When choosing your hosting solution, please make sure it supports php and MySQL.

    Disk Space

    Blog software itself won’t use a lot of space (less than 10MB for WordPress). And most of the disk space are used for the post you have written, and the image or video used by your blog. Let’s plan for 2 year first, think about how many posts you can write per day, and the average size of them. After it, you can make a calculation to know the disk spaces you will need.

    And a good practice in blogging is to upload video to YouTube.com and image to Flickr.com, then put a URL in the blog to display the video and images to your readers. By this way, the required disk space will be decreased significantly.

    Considering most of the shared web hosting company will give you huge disk space (more than 1000GB), it’s not something you need to worry about.

    Monthly Transfer

    Monthly transfer (sometimes loosely referred to as “traffic” or “bandwidth”) is the amount of bytes transferred from your site to visitors when they browse your site. If you go over the limit, then either you (Read more ...)
