looking for cheap hosting solutions

December 9, 2009 · Filed Under web hosting · Comments Off 

Lots of people are looking for cheap hosting solutions. It is also true that the price of hosting has decreased over the past few years. It is now more affordable than ever to host your website. One should be careful however, of opting for the very cheapest that you can find. Most often, these providers do overselling. This basically works on almost the same principle as airlines that do overbooking. Because airlines realise that about 10% to 15% of people who book their tickets will actually never make it to the plane, the allow overbooking of tickets of up to 10%.

The trouble comes when EVERYONE decides to pitch up and use their tickets. That is when you get long queues, grumbling passengers and air hostesses that seem to have smiles pasted onto their faces….

The problem is that hosting providers often sell large amounts of hard disk space and bandwidth for very cheaply, knowing full well that you will never use the space. The problem comes in when everyone starts unexpectedly using all their space and bandwidth allocated to them. Then everyone suffers.

Adhering to Website Standards to Improve Business

December 8, 2009 · Filed Under web hosting · Comments Off 

Taking web standards into account when designing a website may not be a primary concern for many site owners, but when it comes to finding an extra edge to improve their business, they are more than willing to do anything required to increase revenues. Let’s see how complying with Web standards can help a business website.

What are the Standards?

On the Web, the main standards are the languages used when creating websites. The most wide-spread ones are HTML, XHTML and CSS. HTML or XHTML are used to create the backbone of websites – the structure. (The difference between HTML and XHTML is that XHTML was formed from XML and is forward compatible.) CSS, in turn, is used to style, format and position the structure and content.

What is Web Standards Compliance?

Put simply, web standards compliance is using web languages correctly. This involves using HTML tags properly and the way they were and are intended to be used. For instance, one of the most common felonies against the web standards is using table tags for layout, while the correct usage is to use them only for tabular data (information to be put in tables).

Mideast firms vie for dot me (.me) domain

By Abdul Wasey

Almost all the big and medium-size companies, institutions, organisations and group in the Middle Eastern countries have their own websites. And those who don’t have are in the process of getting one.

Most of the firms have either ‘.com’ as their extensions or ‘.qa’, ‘.ae’, representing their respective countries. Some of the companies have both.

The importance of a website in the success of an individual or a business organization is an open secret. The rule is simple: If you don’t have presence in the cyberworld, your reach is extremely limited.

Domain Names (part 1) – the Art and Science of Choosing a Domain Name

December 7, 2009 · Filed Under Domain · Comments Off 

But first, the science:

Using Back2Front as an example our web address looks like this: http://www.back2front.ca

http://The “http://” part is the protocol used to talk to web servers . Others examples are “mail” or “ftp” used to communicate with mail and ftp servers respectively.

. “dot”The rest of the address is the Domain Name. It is made up of parts separated with a “.” (pronounced “dot”).

WWWFor web sites the first part is usually “www” meaning World Wide Web. In some cases the www is optional. Web servers can be set up in such a way as the www part is assumed and so you can reach the same web site whether or not you type in the www part. For all of Back2Front’s clients the www is optional.

NAMEThe second part is the bit you make up, (the name) ours is “back2front”. More on this later.

TLDThe next part, usually the last part, is called the TLD or Top Level Domain. Ours is “ca”. Other examples are “com, org, net,”. Sometimes before the TLD you will see an additional part indicating a subsection of the domain. For example in Canada there are subsections of the .ca TLD to indicate province. The one for Ontario would look like this “www.back2front.on.ca”.Technical requirements for Domain names;UniqueYour domain name must be Unique. The “name” plus the “TLD” and any “subsection” there of, in combination, must be unique for each web site. But do not worry, you will not be able to register a domain name that is already taken the registries are responsible for preventing this from happening.

Managed your Hosting. Does Someone Need It?

December 7, 2009 · Filed Under web hosting · Comments Off 

The main reason to say I like discussion boards is that their are great place to communicate. When their owners succeed to bring online a large number of intelligent and conscientious people, the place becomes an outstanding resource to learn and share your knowledge. No doubt WHT is place like that. So When I decided to post something realted to managed hosting service I went there to read.
So who needs to use managed hosting service? Those who know nothing about server management or others who want to focus on business but not technical issues. I’ve seen some comments in popular hosting forums and decided write something about it here.
Let’s summarize the answers posted by forum members.
Managed Hosting Is For Newbies
AH-Tima: Its for people who don’t know how to properly manage their servers… or think that everything can be done via a control panel and securing a server means installing APF and BFD.
Voyeur: When something goes down on your server it’s the managed host that always knows first and will restart the service or fix the problem for you while control panel will often times fail to even restart a service properly.
Anatha: Show me a managed hosting that manages server without installing any control panel software, with just minimal OS. I bet 99% of managed hosts out there install some kind of control panel, mostly cpanel and sell it off as managed hosting cause all they have to do is press a button or two to fulfill their customer’s queries. If they agree to do it without a control panel, they will probably charge ridiculous fees Managed hosting is only for those people who actually start with a dedicated server and have no idea what going on. They want to own a dedicated server but dont know crap about how to do it.
