Types of reseller hosting

Posted in Website Hosting

Many value added features can be added to the original services provided by the original hosting provider and sold for a premium. Some examples of such added services are using the storage from the original service provider while providing your own webserver to the next customer.

Some reseller hosting providers can provide their own email server while using the original hosting provider’s web server and putting it in a package to give benefit to the user. The reseller could provide distribution infrastructure to combine the services of a large number of original sellers and load balance the user requests across those servers. The reseller might provide cross geographic web hosting services by signing up with a large number of original web hosting services as a result, removing geography from the end user’s list of concerns. The ways a web hosting service can be packaged by a reseller are only limited by the amount of innovation the reseller can do and sky is the limit.

Differences between Linux and Windows Hosting

Posted in Website Hosting

Two of the more popular hosting platforms on the market are Windows and Linux. Linux is the older of the two and has its fair share of die-hard followers. However, Windows hosting has been gaining some popularity over the years. There are some significant differences between the two. The choice a person makes will be down to individual requirements and possibly cost restrictions.

One of the key factors in someone’s choice of operating system is cost and this could influence the choice between Linux and Windows. Licenses are needed to run your systems on Windows because of their patented software, while Linux is an open source operation system and its use is license fee free.

The Windows platform has a patent on some scripts such as ASP.Net and ASP and as such these are not available on Linux. Linux does support all other scripting languages. Linux is said to have more reliability than Windows, with less downtime reported. But for the running of Microsoft products such as MS Access, it would be best suited to the Windows platform.

Disadvantages to Cheap Hosting

Posted in Website Hosting

There are a number of disadvantages to cheap hosting and the main one is due to being on a shared server. This means that there are hundreds of other websites on the same server as you and a number of accounts linked to those websites.

The main problem with this is that you will not get the full use of the CPU that you are on, so you will need to limit the amount of programming that you apply to your website. In fact, the majority of the time, you will not be allowed to use server-side programming and will need to find ways around for the reasons that you need the website.

You will also find yourself limited in the speed that your website loads due to the CPU use, especially if others have a lot that their website is doing. You could find that your website is down often due to others overloading the server that it is on, which is very damaging for your website and business.

cPanel Hosting: What Is It?

Posted in cPanel

It is the easiest way to assign disc space and manage all of your web pages through the file manager function.  You can deal with your back-ups and control the FTP accounts that you have.  You set up the e-mails, auto-responders, some of them include some form of spam control and you have complete control over the security of your accounts as well.  With cPanel hosting you have the availability of Mysql databases and can run php pages and scripts as needed.  That helps quite a bit for those that are into the advanced stuff.  All of this without one phone call to some tech line.

You can run cron jobs, apache handlers and CGI scripts also.  This gives you a very flexible way to handle just about everything that you can think of and a few more things that you had not thought of.  The ability to handle all of this from one platform has been a work in progress for quite some time and it is still being expanded, even now.

Web hosting review, what to look for?

Posted in Website Hosting

On the Internet when you read a web hosting review you will find myriad users with different needs and experiences with their web-hosting providers. The reviews of the users are sometimes based on their expectations from their web-hosting provider and the ability of the web-hosting provider to meet their expectations. Sometimes users just base their reviews on hearsay like what their friends heard from their friends about web hosting experiences they had. It is a good idea to review a large number of webhosting reviews before deciding what your next step would be. Going through all the reviews can be painful so a new buyer in the market could shortlist the best and the worst reviews by looking at the number of stars each review has and then comparing the best and the worst reviews of different providers. Finally, web hosting can be a fun experience to bring your ideas, innovation and technology to the Internet if done right. If it is not done right, web hosting can become a nightmare.

Shared IP Addresses Limit Shared Hosting

One of the worst things about shared hosting is having no idea about who else is on the same server as you. Unless you have a virtually private server, you will have the same IP address as the people that you are sharing the server with, and this can really limit your website.

The worst thing about sharing IP addresses is that countries will ban an IP address but not the domain name. This means that you could find your content blocked in some countries but not be able to do anything about it. This is very damaging if you are attempting to expand your business all around the world.

There are ways around this, such as by opting for a dedicated IP address. This will usually cost you a little extra and is not always beneficial if you have a personal website, or you are just a local business. However, it is perfect if you want your business to grow and are attempting to reach the whole world.
