Below are the differences between cloud & dedicated servers.<br /><br />Deployment Time: With cloud servers, it is simple & speedy to deploy a ready-to-use server. All that you require to do is pick a package & the application, & in a couple of minutes your server is configured, deployed, & prepared to be used. With a dedicated, deployment will take time & a substantial amount of manpower. Everything has to be done by hand such as selecting & installing the hardware, installing operating method...etc. The whole deployment method can take several days or weeks.<br /><br />Billing & Fees: Cloud hosting providers will normally charge by the hour for usage. With dedicated hosting, you will normally must pay a every month fee said in the contract & an preliminary set up fee.<br /><br />Vertical Scaling: Cloud servers allows for vertical scaling. All that you require to do is pick your desired resources & give it to the Server. Also, being able to resize your will give you the ability add or remove memory, computing power, & hard drive space basically & quickly. With dedicated, it can be complex to add & remove resources. It may also be time consuming & cause downtime. As well, dedicated upgrading is more complex & time consuming as it involves such tasks as building a new server, upgrading application, & installing new application.<br /><br />Horizontal Scaling: Cloud servers let you scale horizontally by load balancing over multiple web server front ends. They have a templating feature that makes it simple to load balance. You can also provision new identical cloud servers for testing without impacting your original cloud. A dedicated server involves building a new server, installing the application, & then copying knowledge to the new hardware. It can be expensive because you will must lease redundant hardware for months or years.<br /><br />Hosting Services: Cloud hosting services will provide all the tools necessary to manage your servers. It is simple to perform such tasks from your browsers as back ups, restoration, firewalls, monitoring, scaling, & private networking. With dedicated servers, hosting services can be expensive because you require to pay for each additional charge such as leasing a private switch. As well, with each lease, you will have a every month contract or yearly contract. When it comes to choosing a server for your business web-site, it is well-worth checking out Cloud Servers as they are cost efficient & high performing servers that can meet you business server demands. As well, there's quality hosting services that are dedicated to making sure that all of your server needs are met.<br />thelastmemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14860843372583436286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827763471839738942.post-28697899102624984942011-10-13T22:48:00.000-07:002011-10-13T22:48:00.196-07:00How to Choose a Web Host - Web Hosting Guide<br /><br /><br />Choosing the right Web Host matters<br /><br />Whether you're putting up a personal website or a commercial one, you should choose your web hosting provider wisely. The reason is that you will most definitely want your website to be seen by the largest number of people. To do that it is essential to take a little time to go over certain basic but very important factors that will ensure more visibility for your site.<br /><br />Points to consider when choosing web hosting<br /><br />There are so many web hosting providers and packages on offer today. Each one of them have their own unique advantages and weaknesses. So how would one decide which one to choose?<br /><br />Even after you zone in on a particular provider, you still need to choose the hosting package that will suit you. Every web hosting site offer many different types of packages to choose from. The most popular type is the 'Unlimited Bandwidth' package.<br /><br />The following points should make your task of choosing web hosting simpler for you.<br /><br />1. Server Uptime & Customer Support:<br /><br />The most basic thing for a website to be found on the internet depends on whether the server where the files are stored is online i.e. up and running at any given time. This is called Server Uptime.You will find that most of the web hosting providers will claim a 99.99% server uptime. Some even claimed 100%.<br /><br />If you have time, search for comments by users of the provider on internet forums or elsewhere online. Or go for the larger more established hosting companies who have built a trusted reputation. Most good hosting companies have multiple server data and power backups. A few also promised 100% and they do that by guaranteeing refund of fees in the eventuality that any downtime might happen.<br /><br />Another very important feature of a good web hosting is Customer Support. They should provide customers with 24/7 phone and internet support. They should have a good collection of tutorials and FAQs readily on their site in case you might need help. Make no mistake, you will contact your hosting support more often than you think, especially if you are serious about your website.<br /><br />2. Pricing & included features<br /><br />The range of pricing and features included in web hosting packages are pretty wide. You will want a fair balance of features and quality that will suit your needs. As with any other product, cheap usually gets less quality. On the other hand some pricing can be exorbitant without any special value.<br /><br />The prices of hosting packages are usually dependent on the set of features included. These includes data storage and bandwidth limits, number of allowed addon domains and subdomains, number of email and ftp accounts hosted, shared or virtual or dedicated server plans, programming languages and databases, site tools, shopping cart etc, and the list goes on. One can be easily confused with these numerous choices more so if you are not familiar with them. Don't worry, we will cover the essential ones in the next paras.<br /><br />Pricing for a fair value shared hosting packages usually starts around 6-8 US$ per month. Virtual Private/Dedicated Server around US$ 30-50 pm and Dedicated Servers at US$ 60-80 pm.<br /><br />Pricing tip: If you have not acquired a domain name or want to add another, then some packages include free domain with hosting. They can be a good bargain.<br /><br />3. Data Storage and Bandwidth limits<br /><br />If you are new to putting up websites, you might have very little idea about how much data storage space and bandwidth your site will need. First off, don't worry too much about this. Even the most professional people will tell you that themselves. Because your needs will grow as the number of visitors to your website increases, you will know all about it as you go along.<br /><br />Data Storage Space: Unless you intend to host lots of video/movie clips or a gigantic amount of big resolution pictures, most hosting packages will do. Normal websites rarely occupy beyond 40-50 MB (megabytes of storage space). The basic shared hosting package for the top registrar costing $4.99 pm includes 10 GB(1000 MB) of storage space.<br /><br />Bandwidth Limits: Bandwidth limit is the amount of data transfers your hosting permits per month. This depends on how much visitors your site has and the type of files you serve i.e. basic web pages, pictures or video clips etc. Here too, not that much to worry about for normal websites. Most hosting providers will offer "Unlimited Bandwidth" even on their value shared hosting packages.<br /><br />One word of caution though for those intending to host video/movie clips or high resolution pictures. Do not be fooled by Unlimited Bandwidth Shared Hosting packages. If you go through the "Terms of Use" and "Common Usage Policy" for most shared hosting packages, they will undoubtedly have a section where it says that you are not permitted or will be charged extra for "abnormally high data bandwidth usage". Advice is you will probably be better off choosing VPS or dedicated server or Cloud hosting or high bandwidth packages.<br /><br />3. Shared Hosting vs Virtual Private Server vs Dedicated Server vs Cloud Hosting<br /><br />How to choose between these types of hosting? Putting it simply, you should choose by how busy or popular you think your site will be viz Shared - VPS - Dedicated - Cloud, in that order.<br /><br />Shared Hosting: Majority of websites on the internet are on Shared hosting. It is good for personal and small websites. They are the most economical of hosting packages. In shared hosting, a number of hosting accounts usually 10-100 are hosted on a single physical server. They share the same server storage and broadband connection.<br /><br />Shared hosting is particularly recommended for starters and small to medium personal and commercial websites that do not host picture/movie/video downloads.They can cost between $5-$15 per month.<br /><br />Virtual Private Servers: This type of hosting is usually used by medium websites with medium storage and bandwidth requirements. Virtual Private Servers are hosted on unique ip addresses (eg. 192.170.1.8) and are virtually like a dedicated physical stand-alone server, but with less cost than a physical dedicated server. The way it works is that multiple accounts say 3-10 are hosted on a single physical server, each accounts having it's own unique host id or ip address, data storage and bandwidth separated from each other by software.<br /><br />VPS hosting can cost between $30 to $150 per month depending on the features for a 1 year contract. Note: All hosting packages price decrease as you increase the number of years of contract.<br /><br />Dedicated Server: They are usually used by the medium to big websites who need storage and bandwidth scalable to their requirements. They are hosted on separate physical servers. In other words they have a server rented out to them. They have full control over the server with its own unique address, hard disk, ram and bandwidth.<br /><br />The price of renting a dedicated server depends on the physical components of the server, the hard disk capacity, the processor version, the amount of ram and the broadband connection. Prices can vary between $65 to $200 and beyond per month.<br /><br />Cloud Hosting: A relatively new thing in the world of web hosting, Cloud hosting is the next generation type of hosting. Instead of having one physical server, cloud hosting uses several servers located in different locations connected to each other.<br /><br />The main advantages of cloud hosting is the scalability factor and cost efficiency. For big websites there is big benefits. As a website grows larger than its current capability, all they need to do is add another server to join the networked group of servers.<br /><br />Cloud hosting packages can be priced anywhere from $100 to $550 and beyond depending on the storage and bandwidth requirements.<br /><br />4. Addon Domains & Sub Domains<br /><br />Addon Domains are the domain names i.e. websites eg. "http://www.yoursite1.com", "http://www.yoursite2.com" that you want to host with your hosting provider. If you intend to host more than one website, you need to choose the package that allows it. Most of the cheapest web hosting packages will allow only one website.<br /><br />Sub Domains: They are the different directories that you may want to create eg. "http://directory1.yoursite.com" or "http://directory2.yoursite.com". The number of Sub Domains allowed may be different on different packages. Do not confuse this with folders eg. "http://www.yoursite.com/folder1" or "http://www.yoursite.com/folder2". There is no limit on folders.<br /><br />5. Email and FTP accounts<br /><br />Email Accounts: These are unique email accounts for your website/s eg. "name@yoursite.com". You can set these up and give it to anyone, your friends, visitors, customers. No worries here cause most of the hosting packages will give you plenty.<br /><br />FTP Accounts: FTP stands for "File Transfer Protocol". FTP accounts are used to access your hosting files from web softwares. They are of tremendous help to web masters in that they allow you to update, delete or create new files and folders in your host directly from web design software and ftp softwares. No worries here too as most packages will give you more than 10 accounts. You can allocate this to your designers and co workers as you like.<br /><br />6. Programming Languages & Databases<br /><br />Frontpage Server Extension, PHP5, Custom PHP.ini, Perl w/FASTCGI, Python CGI, Java, Ruby CGI, Ruby on Rails w/FASTCGI, ColdFusion, MySQL(Unix), MsAccess, MySQL(Win) etc. <br /><br />These are programming softwares and databases used by your hosting server. They are used for the more advanced web features like automated content management, user management, running scripts and programs etc. If you don't understand them, you don't need to. Because most of the package include the popular languages and databases that you might need when you want to use them.<br /><br />7. Content Management, Blogs, Forums: Drupal, Joomla, Mambo, Nucleas, Moodle, Wordpress, Geeklog, Lifetype, Serendipity, phpBB, SMF, Vanilla Forum etc.<br /><br />These are ready made tools for setting up blogs, forums and content management to enhance websites. Most packages have enough choices here too.<br /><br />8. Website Tools, Marketing Tools, Shopping Cart Website Tools: Website Builder, Web Analytics Tools, FrontPage Extensions, Google Custom Search, Google Webmaster Tools etc.<br /><br />These are basic tools that helps in building websites, gauging website popularity and statistics and site enhancements included in most hosting packages.<br /><br />Marketing Tools: Google AdWords Credit - $50, Yahoo! Search Marketing Credit - $25, Facebook Ads Credit - $50 etc.<br /><br />These are ad credits for advertising your website. They are great bargains if it is included.<br /><br />Shopping Cart - For those wishing to sell products online this tool is quite important. Most packages include them.<br /><br />9. Web hosting tips for good SEO<br /><br />One of the things that improves Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and should be considered when choosing a web host is the location of the server. Experience shows that search engines favor locally hosted websites when search is made. Big search engines like Google are known to give preference to locally hosted sites. This means that to rank higher in, for eg., UK, it helps to have a web hosting server that is located within the UK. Another thing that also is known to help SEO in local search rankings is regional TLDs or domain names. So for UK, the domains.co.uk or.org.uk are given preference.<br /><br />Another point to note is that shared hosting can hurt your website's SEO rankings. Experts believe that if you have a site which shares the same server and ip address as a Google penalized site, your site also suffers as a result. The obvious way to avoid this is to host your site or sites on a separate ip address which will mean a dedicated server of a Virtual Private Server.<br />thelastmemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14860843372583436286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827763471839738942.post-73805415088745840282011-10-13T14:48:00.000-07:002011-10-13T14:48:00.520-07:00Cheap Web Hosting Pros And Cons And How To Choose A Good Host<br /><br /><br />In the net world of today, you have more options than ever before, & while that can definitely be a nice thing, it can also set you up to being taken advantage of in the event you are not cautious.

In this article I'll try and give you a balanced view of the pro's and con's of cloud computing so that you may make your own mind up as to if it's for you and your business.<br /><br />Pros<br /><br />Price - Probability the most cited advantage of cloud computing is the cost, there are two main cost savings associated with cloud computing. They are, the capital expenditure, the amount of money needed to buy the IT equipment initially and the long term maintenance and support. While the cost saving of not having to buy the initial infrastructure may be obvious, there is also an ongoing saving associated with outsourcing your IT services, the economics of scale means that the price of maintenance and support can be brought down to slightly less than if you where hosting the data yourself, but still allowing your cloud suppler to make money.<br /><br />Scalability - Image if you suddenly realized you needed to double the size of your network storage how easy would it be for you to do that? Normally you would have to find a suppler who supplied the same type of equipment as you currently use, ring them up, hope they have enough in stock then wait for them to be delivered and then hope you can get them all working together without too many all-nighters. With cloud computing it could be as simple as login into your control panel and selecting the new amount of storage you need.<br /><br />The situation is even more extreme if you turn this on its head and consider what would happen if you suddenly needed half your network storage. Traditional you would be stuck with a load of equipment you don't need that is slowly going out of date, with cloud computing if you no longer need it you no longer have to pay for it, you just login to your control panel and reduce the amount of storage you need.<br /><br />The Environment - Because of the same economics of scale that make cloud computing cheap, cloud computing is also more environmentally friendly than traditional computing. When computers in the data centre are not processing your data, they will be processing someone else's, why have two half full hard drives when a data centre can combine them an you will only need one disk.<br /><br />Cons<br /><br />Security - The main concern regarding cloud computing is that of the security of your data. While your twitter "tweets" may not be the most important chunk of data ever your financial records may well be. Sadly companies go out of business, sometimes very quickly and with little time for you to do anything about it.<br /><br />Uptime - While a guaranteed uptime of 99.9% such as that provided by Amazon S3 accounts, sounds very impressive it's worth thinking what this means in terms of downtime. 0.1% of a month, the amount of time Amazon can be down before they give you anything compensation is 43 minutes 50 seconds, which if it were to happen just as you or your boss needed that file for the big presentation then throes 40 minutes could feel like days. <br /><br />Of course all computer services no matter if they are in-house or cloud based suffer downtime, but the problem is compounded within cloud based computing because you only become aware of it when your customers complain or you need the service, and there is nothing you can do directly to fix the problem.<br /><br />Legal - One of the leased cited but possibly damaging aspects of cloud computing is the legal issues involved. For example, Companies based in the European Union can no "export" data that identifies to countries that don't comply with the European Union's data protection laws, this included countries such as the USA. This would mean that a company in the European Union could be breaking the law if they where to use a cloud computing service based in the United States to store their customer database.<br /><br />While cloud computing has a number of advantages, it's a cheap, it's Scalable and it's more environmentally sustainable than an in house solution, there are a number of other issues that need to be looked at before you move your business into the cloud. It is of course possible to mitigate some of the problems with cloud computing, while still reaping some of the benefits, by limiting the move to the less mission critical parts of your business.<br />thelastmemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14860843372583436286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827763471839738942.post-40827196987258832962011-10-11T06:48:00.000-07:002011-10-11T06:48:00.960-07:00Finding Great Web Hosting - What to Look For<br /><br /><br />Choosing a web hosting service is a big decision. You put a lot of time and effort into your website and it is important that your site be up and running as often as possible. There are so many different web hosts that it can be difficult to narrow the selection and choose the right one for your website. Once you choose a company you will also have to choose a service package. Web hosts often offer a wide variety of different packages each with different service options. You can often get a free sponsored personal page, a basic package with limited options and a relatively low cost or a more advanced professional package.<br /><br />If you aren't familiar with web hosting packages you may be wondering what exactly web hosting is and why you might need it. Basically web hosting is how you get your web page to the world. A hosting company will store your site on their servers and make it available for site visitors from around the world. You will rent a certain amount of space on the server's hosts.<br /><br />If you are looking to host a personal website you can probably do just fine by having a small single page hosting package. These tend to be very affordable and will meet most basic needs. However if you have a complex page or if you will be needing additional support or options it may be worth investing additional money and getting a more advanced hosting package... Generally more advanced packages allow a wider variety of web scripts to run which will give you as the site administrator additional functionality.<br /><br />If you have a business site you will have to do additional figuring to determine the scope of the web hosting package that you will need. Think about the size of the site that you intend to create as well as the overall purposes behind the site. Businesses often have very complex hosting needs and finding an ideal package is critical to being able to create a website that will meet your company needs. You also need to consider things like email, e-commerce and more.<br /><br />You should also know that having a web hosting package is not the same as managing your own web hosting needs. You are essentially renting a space on their servers, and do not have full administrative privileges. As you look at packages you will find managed and unmanaged packages. If you choose a managed plan you will have less administrative responsibility and will not have to worry about the maintenance of the site or security. On the other hand if you choose an unmanaged package you will have increased maintenance responsibility. While these unmanaged packages do cost less than the managed packages they do require a lot more work, especially when it comes to maintenance and keeping your website secure.<br /><br />Another option that you have is to acquire a collocation package. This allows you to purchase actual space on the server and then pay a small fee for maintenance and upkeep of the site. This is very expensive but will provide you with wonderful hosting speed, convenience and power. You can also look into cloud hosting which is only starting to gain in popularity and may continue to do so. This type of hosting basically offers users an opportunity to pay as you go and to only pay for the services that are in use. You will basically pay a usage charge similar to what you pay for your electric or gas bill. One reason that cloud hosting is so popular is that it allows you to pay for what you use and not spend your money on hosting services that you do not need.<br /><br />If you have a website or are hoping to get one you need to spend some time learning more about the various web hosting options and to choose the proper hosting package for your needs. If you need hosting you will have many different options to consider and it is important to really weigh the pros and cons of each so that you can find the package that best meets your needs.<br />thelastmemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14860843372583436286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827763471839738942.post-38877687158039704332011-10-10T22:48:00.000-07:002011-10-10T22:49:04.166-07:003 Reasons to Try Cloud Servers<br /><br /><br />Thousands of people around the world are now using cloud servers. I recently tried them and was blown away. If you have not tried them yet here are a few reasons why you should.<br /><br />Cloud servers are flexible allowing you to experiment and try new things. Most vendors allow you to startup a server and run it for as long as you want. This can be as little as a few minutes or much longer even permanent. I recently heard that Centos Linux version 6 was available and wanted to find out what the changes were and check out all the cool new apps. I logged into the online control panel via my Firefox web browser to one of my cloud accounts, clicked on create new server, selected 256 megs of ram, typed in root password, then waited about 3 minutes for the server to load. Then I logged in via my ssh client(putty) and it was play time. I had the option to upgrade to more CPUs and memory, you can do it in small increments to find out what works best for your web application. A few days later I wanted to test samba on a Debian Linux system. Instead of spending an hour loading Debian from DVD, I simply fired up a cloud server saving about 45 minutes. This time I chose a server with copious amounts of memory since that is what I needed, it was great.<br /><br />Some vendors are now offering load balancing so you can build a whole server farm using cloud servers. This is especially useful during peak time like a special event or shopping season, it can also be useful in the case of a denial of service attack allowing for more capacity as a counter measure. A multi-server system can scale out to hundreds or even thousands of servers. I have not tried this personally but I hear it works pretty good. I read about an online E-commerce web site that was under a Ddos(distributed denial of service) attack who simply added servers to negate the flood of connections, then the attackers went on to pick on someone else.<br /><br />Have you ever needed to backup a whole system? You are going to love new cloud based method. You can make snapshots of your server so you have an image of all your data at some point in time. It only takes about 30 minutes to copy all data on a 10GB system. You can also make multiple snapshots and even setup automatic snapshots every 4 hours so you always have a recent backup.<br /><br />Another cool thing you can do is making your own boot image. I fired up a Linux server, then spent an hour loading applications like MySQL database server, Bind name server, Postfix mail, Cpanel, and Apache web server. I configured it with mod security and some complex rewrite rules. I then saved the image as its own image so I can make clone systems anytime. I can also share my image with the public if I choose.<br /><br />You can use a cloud server for a few cents per hour. There are many vendors that offer smaller size servers for less than ten cents per hour. I am always firing up various servers, everything from Windows 2008 to Linux and my bill has never been more than $10 per month because I shut them down when not in use and you only have to pay while they are active. There is a small charge for storage if you are saving snapshots or boot images but disk storage is relatively cheap these days. In case you need a more powerful system for web hosting tomcat with a quad core CPU with 16GB of memory will cost you about $2 per hour.<br /><br />There are many reasons to use cloud based servers. They are flexible, easy to backup using snapshots, and relatively low cost. There is no shortage of cloud vendors. I suggest you surf to your favorite search engine and type in cloud server or cloud hosting where you will find a ton of choices. I don't think cloud servers will ever replace virtual or dedicated servers but they make an excellent compliment.<br />thelastmemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14860843372583436286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827763471839738942.post-9822910807427921162011-10-10T13:53:00.000-07:002011-10-10T13:53:00.571-07:00Cheap Virtual Web Hosting - Pitfalls<br /><br /><br />It may be the case that you want to host your site within your afford and searching a web host to fulfill the purpose. In this regard you have come across many hosting terms - colocation hosting, dedicated hosting, cloud hosting and a lot! At last you have decided to go for a hosting that is actually a "cheap virtual web hosting". Yes, your decision is right with a point of view that this is reasonably low-cost with better resources on share among few websites!<br /><br />However, you should know that there can be some limitations on this type of cheap virtual website hosting service! Simply because you are sharing your hosting server with some other businesses, you may see the following pitfalls waiting for you: <br /><br /><br /><br />First of all, the main issue in cheap virtual website hosting is of sharing space with many businesses. For convenient pricing you are not buying dedicated space for your site or not going for vast cloud based hosting. But in this type of shared hosting your site is vulnerable to face slow performance, if a lot of businesses are sucking the same resource at a time or on peak business hours. Remember the physical resources (RAM, processor and etc) are limited based on your demand! <br /><br />In most of the cases it is found that the cheap virtual web hosting services are suffering the bandwidth problem! It is again because you may have gone for such a package which does not allow your site to get bandwidth as when required. Besides that the bandwidth may be also shared with a large number of customers (the service provider will not tell you how many businesses are sharing the resources). <br /><br />Basically this cheap virtual hosting services are built on a single IP address which is shared among several user sites - vulnerable to fall in loose security issues or illegal offenses. For sharing the same IP address, you do not know with which other type of businesses you are sharing your IP. There is always a chance that your site falls prey (not available as IP is banned) for another business is involved in illegal issues (scams, spamming, adult content etc). <br /><br />Your website may not be available if you have chosen a name-based cheap virtual web hosting. Actually in this type of hosting, the service providers use several name based request to the web servers to show different sites using same IP address. And the system depends on the proper functionality of DNS (Domain name system). If the DNS is not working well the user may use the IP address associated with your site. Here lies the problem! The browser will get the request of the IP which is shared among several sites - and it will not be able to show any site! <br /><br />For this type of cheap virtual hosting services maintenance is a big issue. The complete maintenance rests on the service provider and they can not go for quick repair of the fault as lots of businesses are running on same hosting platform. Similarly when repairing the services, it takes lots of time to restore to the fast access. Even you cannot request for up-gradation of the hardware and software anytime you require - most probably you have to change your package which means more money investment. <br /><br />So, hopefully you have understood what the main pitfalls of the cheap virtual website hosting are! You have to be careful before going for this type of hosting. Remember investing less money is not the prime aim of building a website. You have to ensure maximum return on investment in having a website hosted. If hosting is not proper, you will never make most out of your website. You should go for the affordable hosting service - not the cheap one. Above all you could go for cheap virtual website hosting, if you have ensured that you are choosing the most reliable and dependable service provider. Do a little research on the matter and you could reach the best service provider which is providing cheap virtual hosting to remain stable in this highly competitive market.<br />thelastmemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14860843372583436286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827763471839738942.post-5826797288521707162011-10-10T05:53:00.000-07:002011-10-10T05:53:00.304-07:00Reliable Web Server Hosting With Cheap Dedicated Servers<br />With the rise of high tech multimedia, & the new role expertise plays in our every day lives, it is necessary to have a server that is affordable, reliable & also fulfills our technological demands.

Offering a storage service delivered over a large network, be it the Internet or an internal network, the capacity and performance of the solution combined with the ease of managing it certainly gives it a broad appeal. Owners will find that there are options for both rented public storage as well as private storage that keeps data behind firewalls while offering the benefits that cloud technology offers. These storage clouds can range from as few as three nodes up to hundreds of nodes and still provide easy scaling and management.<br /><br />One benefit of cloud storage is that it provides a sort of pay for use service. Hardware, software, and services are typically billed only according to what is used or on a subscription basis. The shared cost and infrastructure of this storage method is generally very highly regarded, as it lowers management costs significantly, and the ability to terminate contract at any time virtually eliminates the risk of significant financial losses.<br /><br />The biggest drawback to ParaScale Cloud Storage software as well as cloud computing in general is security of personal and high level data. While this is certainly true for public clouds, private and hybrid clouds offer an alternative that allows companies to reap the benefits of cloud computing while still providing a high level of security and protection for networks and data.<br /><br />ParaScale cloud storage offers remarkable capabilities in today's IT industry, allowing those who purchase the software and install it on even a standard server to create multiple nodes and act as a storage provider. These clouds can include many popular applications and sites, but provide the capability to offer them in a manner that is cost effective and utilizes only standard hardware.<br /><br />At its core, ParaScale is working to target large enterprises that can turn a large number of servers into a single cloud. The service works to pool multiple file servers, creating a faster, more integrated form of computing that saves costs on every end. By creating a system of automated storage provisioning, space is always available for seamless addition of new servers and storage nodes. The software itself is remarkably affordable, offering yet another benefit to those seeking to step into the cloud storage market. For people who were turned off by the bursting of the last major Internet bubble, cloud storage offers many more options as well as numerous abilities to keep up with the needs of today's companies.<br />thelastmemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14860843372583436286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827763471839738942.post-59100588870567932082011-10-09T11:12:00.001-07:002011-10-09T11:12:57.570-07:00How Important Is A Reliable Web Host?<br /><br /><br />It seems that everybody & there dog is prepared to start an online based business or a web-site of some sort.

The reason behind is that there is a single web server at which hundreds of web-sites are jogging. When the demands of hosted sites exceed the server capacity, it suffocates. All the resources obtainable get stuck and the hosted sites ultimately suffer.<br />
In clouds hosting the scenario is entirely different; you will have access to multiple servers so that malfunctioning of any of the web servers can be tolerated, on condition that the server resources like storage space, bandwidth and processing power are . The idea is fundamentally derived from clouds computing in which computing power can be shared on demand. It is up to the site owners that they need the processing power anymore or not. If a business web-site hosting company charges unaffordable amount for the clouds hosting, can withdraw the services and release web server resources.<br />

Most networks of shared servers are typically located in data centers located around the globe. As for virtualization, cloud hosting unlimited computing power, and users have the ability to scale and add another server at any time.<br />
<br />
Efficiency and reliability<br />
<br />
Web developers love cloud hosting because of its software platform clear and without problems. Web developers have more flexibility and room for innovation. This type of accommodation is an effective method for accommodation, because it balances the load of resources and power, so users can enjoy the continuous and constant connection. Cloud allows users to share and manage large amounts of data, while plenty of room to scale up or down based on demand.<br />
<br />
With this accommodation, users are not limited to restrictions on a single server and equipment, such as resource security, load balancing, and server that are managed almost. Virtualization involves the separation of infrastructure applications. There is also a large computing power for online transactions due to the distribution of multiple servers.<br />
<br />
Business Benefits<br />
<br />
There are many benefits to cloud hosting for companies seeking reliable web hosting. For example, it is a very cost effective hosting services. You will have better performance, but adjusted for business, and there are more resources available that allow you to expand without incurring additional costs, overhead, and inventory. With cloud hosting, you will have the advantage of redundancy, so you'll have a great reduction in hardware inventory.<br />
<br />
With a cloud configuration, you must pay for the consumption of computing power now, so if there is a period when traffic volumes are low, you will not pay for bandwidth. You can scale unused bandwidth based on the changing demands of traffic and you do not have to worry about losing visitors due to lack of available bandwidth.<br />
<br />
It meets the needs of businesses<br />
<br />
Another reason why the cloud work for companies is that there is less downtime. If there is a sudden influx of site traffic, traffic is routed to another server. This means there is less chance of a crash on the server and a web site is temporarily unavailable. If the hard disk of a server goes down, your site will not be affected because their data is reflected on other servers. Other servers in the network traffic will resume if there is a spike in traffic to ensure that your site remains operational and guests have full access. The benefits of cloud hosting for the future of web hosting for all sized companies.thelastmemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14860843372583436286noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827763471839738942.post-53130268934889914502011-10-08T22:55:00.001-07:002011-10-08T22:55:18.279-07:00A Beginner's Guide To Web HostingWhat is Web Hosting? Each time you visit a website, what you see in your browser is essentially just a web page that is downloaded from a web server on top of your browser. In general, a website consists of a number of web pages. It is basically a web page consisting of text and graphics. All these pages are stored on web servers so that online users can visit your site.<br />
<br />
Therefore, if you think you have a new website, you need to host your site on the web server. When you access the server's Web site, online users can now navigate through the website. The company, which provides web server, host your website is called web hosting providers.<br />
<br />
A good web hosting provider sometimes has established capacity to thousands of sites. For example, iPowerWeb is a popular web hosting home to more than 300,000 websites. For this reason, a web hosting company need many web servers (essentially, it comes to computers) to 'store' page. And all these web servers connected to the Internet through an Internet connection and broadband set in a physical building called "Data Center". To ensure that all Web servers are safe and fully operational all the time, a data center environment is a physically secure 24 / 7 with fire protection, HVAC temperature control, virus detection, the computer data backup, redundant disaster recovery capabilities complete.<br />
<br />
What are the different types of web hosting?<br />
<br />
There are different types of web hosting companies out there with different characteristics. The main types of hosts can be organized in the following categories:<br />
<br />
Shared Hosting<br />
<br />
In shared hosting (also known as virtual web hosting), many websites share space on the same physical web servers. Depending on your web host, a physical web server can hosts a few hundred, even thousands of different sites at once. One might wonder if a physical server is divided into many sites, the performance of the Web server to get worse? In fact, web servers are usually equipped with a powerful high-end computers, so that it can support up to a few sites without problems. But when the web server is overloaded and exceeded the reasonable number of sites that can accept it, then you will start to experience a slower response to a web server.<br />
<br />
However, a reliable and experienced hosting provider continuously monitors the performance of the server and add new web servers when deem necessary without sacrificing the benefits of the site owner. As a physical server is shared (disk space, processing power of computers, bandwidth, memory), which many web sites, web hosting provider can therefore afford to offer the lowest price hosting. For the same reason, the shared hosting sites accept slower server response time. Typically, shared hosting plans start at $ 5 - $ 20 per month.<br />
<br />
Dedicated Hosting<br />
<br />
Unlike shared hosting, dedicated hosting assigned a specific web server to be used by a single customer. From a dedicated web server is assigned to a single customer, the customer has the ability to host individual websites / multiple, changing the software configuration, site traffic management and larger scale of the bandwidth needed. Therefore, dedicated hosting commands a higher premium and typically starts at $ 50 per month and up to $ 200 - $ 500 per month. As a result, dedicated hosting is regularly used by high traffic and very important site.<br />
<br />
Co-location hosting<br />
<br />
In dedicated hosting, web server belongs to web hosting providers and customers only rent the web server during the hosting. While in co-location hosting, the customer owns the server hardware and Web only housed within their secure web server of web hosting provider data center. In this way, the customer has full control over their web server and simultaneously benefit from the 24 / 7 monitoring of servers and maintenance, such as secure data center. According to the monthly bandwidth and rack space required, typically co-location hosting range from $ 500 - $ 1000 per month.<br />
<br />
Reseller Hosting<br />
<br />
In reseller hosting, web hosting provider offers web server storage to third parties (eg retailers) at a reduced price, which is then sold to the web server storage to their customers. Typically, retailers, web consultants including web designers, web developers, and system integration company that sells web hosting as an additional service to complement the range of other services. In general, resellers can receive up to 50 per cent discount on the price of web hosting providers hosting account. And the dealers the opportunity to decide their own pricing structure and even establish its own brand (for example, reseller setup its web hosting business on the Internet and start selling web hosting plans under its own brand).<br />
<br />
For customers of the bank, the retailer is a provider of web services. In cases where technical problems such as server down and access the problem cases, retailers will have to answer to the current web host provider. Because of the communication process taken place in your local bank and the real web host provider and back and forth, undoubtedly problems will take longer to resolve. Unless you have your personal website or non-profit website and willing to take risks for the poor to support a dealer, reseller hosting is generally not a good option.<br />
<br />
However, the web hosting market today is filled with resellers that sell lowest web hosting plans. So how do you tell between a genuine web hosting provider reseller? You do not have to judge by the availability of toll-free just because some web hosting providers also offer their own toll-free technical support of the co-branded retailers. When the customer call the dealer for technical assistance, web host to use the name of the dealer, so the customer thinks that the support comes directly from the dealer. Similarly, do not be fooled by a professional web site designed by just because it's very easy to create a professional website to look at business today.<br />
<br />
In general, resellers can be distinguished from their hosting price and company information. In most cases, a genuine web hosting provider has solid information society, such as where to publish its iPowerWeb.com financial background, offices and data centers. Instead, retailers usually do not have a strong background in business (this is just one example among many out there). In addition to hosting resellers price is usually less than $ 5 per month. So why settle for resellers when you can find web hosting providers offering superb quality genuine web hosting is the hosting price ranging from $ 7 - $ 10.<br />
<br />
Therefore, you should not try to find cheap web hosting companies without first considering the quality of service and support. Do not expect to find a high level of support, if you choose to pay only $ 2 or $ 3 per month for web hosting plan. On the other hand, paying only a little more for accommodations, you can now discover a list of web low cost but high quality hosting plans to host your site important.thelastmemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14860843372583436286noreply@blogger.com0
