March 10, 2010 by manita · Leave a Comment
Leave your current web host, when their bad service. In any case, there is much you can do at your side. Some hosting is growing rapidly, and the others die quickly. Finding the right hosting.
Five years in web hosting, and the last two years running in the web hosting reviews. I had come across many good web hosting and also bad web hosting. Some web hosting company is good, and then as a bad, badService, and trying to capture new customers. Caution and make sure you know when its time to leave the current hosting.
The first signs, the problem of the website. There will be more downtime the website, the usual. And the site is slow. The reason for this is that they are for the sale of accounts and made too many users on the server. The attempt to reduce costs and increase profits.
Second character, unless the customer support is available frequently and always too lateAnswering E-ticket. This is the second sign. If the average fall on the quality of service is much more than other users of a complaint for support. And they are so busy responding to all e-mail. As a general rule, they will simply delete it from. If your e-mail got tickets have been removed, it will be especially in this phase.
Third and final sign, people search online for similar problems. And usually you will find similar complaints in the forum hosting. If what we see,and there are no current measures to solve the problem. Time to pack your site and leave. It makes no sense for them real hosting.
To switch to a new web hosting? In any case, a new Web hosting, best web hosting search. And the next, log on to this new hosting service, and go beyond the contents of the site. Once done, simply transfer the domain name to this new host, and follow the transfer of the domain. His will, not more than 7 days. And hissimple.
Keep praying for the dying and hosting the site will change to 24 / 7, or simply to a new hosting provider. Probably take less than 20 minutes of work: among other things, registration and transfer of content site.
Web Hosting Basics For Small Businesses
March 9, 2010 by manita · Leave a Comment
There doesn’t seem to be an end to the number of companies offering web hosting solutions. To make things even more confusing, they all offer different packages with varying features and costs.
If you’re new to the Internet, you may be confused about which hosting company to choose, and what type of features your site will require.
Since different types of websites can have vastly different needs, web hosts offer a variety of features. For example, a site dedicated to storing images and media will need a hosting plan which emphasizes storage space and bandwidth (the amount of data your visitors can download from your site in a given time period).
Similarly, if your website will receive high traffic, you would require a server that efficiently balances the data load and keeps your website available on a consistent basis.
Depending upon these features, the cost of each hosting plan is different. When comparing web hosting providers, you will see that their price structure normally depends on the operating system, storage space, security options, availability of a dedicated server, the number of email addresses, and dozens of other features. Your decision to choose a hosting plan depends on how many of these requirements you want, and, of course, your budget.
If you have decided to buy a hosting plan for your website, you can often save money by getting domain registration and web hosting in one package. However, this is not a necessity, and many people choose different companies for both of these services.
For small sites, don’t be oversold or wowed by big numbers. You likely won’t use anywhere near some of the storage and transfer limits offered by many hosts in their premium packages. Stick with the basic package and upgrade if it becomes necessary.
For sites with higher performance or security needs, a virtual private server is recommended. While a VPS is more costly than other hosting plans, it ensures that your site will not share as much of the server with the hundreds of other sites that may be hosted there.
For enterprise level sites, a fully dedicated server is recommended. Sites on a dedicated server do not share any resources whatsoever with other sites.
Regardless of the size and type site you plan to host, look for things such as customer support forums, optional phone support, and reasonable prices. Remember that rock bottom pricing is sometimes a signal of poor quality, and opt for hosts which offer reasonable service at a fair cost.

Consequences of Budget Hosting
March 7, 2010 by manita · Leave a Comment
There are many hosting companies that are vying to get your business. They may offer very competitive rates to entice you to choose their service. Some offer $12 a year or less. The idea of getting your site hosted for this low price could make some people jump at the chance. However, before choosing a hosting company, you should be aware of a few things that may make you regret the decision to choose one of these companies.
Some sites have very little, if any customer support.
When you are experiencing a problem with your hosting company the last thing you want to hear is there is not a 24 hour support system. If you work at home and like to do a majority of your work in the early morning hours or late at night, when you have a problem, you need help right then – not during regular business hours which may not even be on the same time zone as you are.
Budget hosting companies are normally run by an individual.
Because this service is an individual who sells space on the server they use, their expertise when it comes to technical support is not on the same level as a large company. A service that is provided for $12 a year is not going to have the support services of a large company because they cannot afford to offer this service.
When it comes to being able to transfer data you may find the amount you have allotted to you is not nearly enough.
The hosting companies often have extra fees for going over your allotted amount and in this case, you are not saving money. The amount can cost much more than going with a company that will give you more to start. If the features you need are going to cost extra you may end up paying more money for the combination of the services than had you paid a little more for the service that provides these features at no extra cost.
Another consideration is budget companies often put as many sites as they can possibly squeeze onto a server.
This is so they can make as much money as possible. When they do this, the site will run very slowly and will have problems because it is overcrowded. Larger hosting companies limit the number of sites that can be on one server to prevent this problem. There are also budget hosting companies that do this as well.
A way of making up for charging the low monthly fee is by charging a set-up fee.
When this is added into the monthly fee being charged you may end up paying more than you would be charged by a larger company that does not charge a set-up fee. So in effect, you are not saving money at all.
What if you need free shopping carts, PHP, or applications that are not supplied on a budget site?
Look at the features provided by the budget site and those on a regular hosting company. Which one has the most features you will need for your site? Do you know how to set up your site? If not, you are going to need support and if the host does not provide this feature, where are you going to find out how to do the set-up and maintenance your site will require?
Is the host you are considering reputable?
As with any business, there are companies that are not reputable. They open long enough to make a huge profit from the people who join and then they are gone. Many of these fly-by-night operations charge a years hosting in advance. To ensure the company that you are considering is above board, do some checking and see if they have been reported to the Better Business Bureau or if there have been complaints lodged against them. The internet is a great place to check for scams and complaints against companies that have not delivered what they promise to deliver.
No matter what you decide when it comes to the hosting company you choose, make sure they have exactly what you need. There is no need to pay for services you are not going to use. On the other hand, if you need certain services, you should be able to get them for an affordable price. The company you choose should have the best services for the best price and have a proven record of doing what they say they will do.
The Best Web Hosting Companies
March 6, 2010 by manita · Leave a Comment
With more than 5,000 web hosting companies on the Internet, consumers are looking for a short cut to finding the best service for their business and personal requirements. A little known secret from the “geek” community can greatly simplify the process of finding the perfect match for you.
Since the mid-1990’s, a company in Bath, England called Netcraft has been providing free research data and analysis on many aspects of the Internet. They are a respected authority on web hosting providers, operating systems, ISP’s, electronic commerce, encryption, and content technologies, to name but a few. Netcraft is the place where webmasters and other information technology professionals go when they want answers to solve real-world problems. Fortunately, one of the best reports Netcraft produces is an on-line near-real-time web host performance report. It provides performance data on about 50 of the top web hosting companies on the Internet. Incredibly, the report is free and updated every 15 minutes.
Netcraft’s Hosting Providers Network Performance report can best serve those who are seeking to locate a reliable hosting service. It tracks outages over the past 24 hours providing the hours, minutes, and seconds of outages. Performance monitoring agents are operating in the USA and the UK so that the network performance can be determined from different points. Web hosting performance is comprised of the time to process the http GET request and return the page contents. The time reported depends on the speed of the processor, the size of the data, the number of concurrent requests being processed by the web server and so forth. Dynamic content generally requires more time than static content. During the http GET request Netcraft records four times: (1) DNS (2) connect (3) first byte, and (4) total.
The DNS category provides performance information on the time it takes for the Domain Name Service (DNS) to lookup the hostname. The customer’s local name server as well as the authoritative name server for the domain affects DNS response time. Due to the wide variability of this performance parameter it is not part of the total time recorded. The connect performance parameter is the first phase of the http GET request when the TCP/IP connection is made to the web hosting server. Connect is typically reflective of network latency but if the web host is under heavy load the time recorded will increase. The first byte performance parameter is the time from when the last byte of the http GET request is sent until the first byte of the response header is received. Although many different factors, including application associated processing, are involved this performance parameter is generally useful in determining how fast the web hosting server is responding. From a performance perspective this is the silver bullet because studies have shown that consumers purchase more often and in higher dollar amounts from fast performing web servers. The last performance parameter is the total, which is the time from when the http GET request is started until the last byte is received.
Can selecting a great web hosting provider really be so simple as looking at web hosting performance reports? Well, yes and no. If you are simply looking for the best virtual web hosting company using Netcraft’s web hosting performance report can help you select from the 1% of hosting companies who are so confident in their service that they pay Netcraft to monitor and publish the results for everyone to see. The chances are very good that companies willing to do this will do everything possible to keep their operation running as competitively as possible. Of course, you still need to determine which of these best 50 companies can satisfy your needs in terms of operating system support, programming languages supported, and so forth. You can save yourself lots of valuable research time by using iTechGuide’s Top Performance Web Hosting Companies table to help further identify the best web hosting company for your needs.

How to Host Multiple Websites Under a Single Account
March 5, 2010 by manita · Leave a Comment
If you happen to operate multiple websites, each assigned with a unique domain name, then signing up for multiple hosting accounts would not be an economically viable hosting solution. While many hosting providers do offer the add-domain features, they would in all probability charge an additional monthly fee towards every added domain, which could turn out to be an expensive proposition.
A cost-effective alternative would be to sign-up for a reseller hosting account. While buying a reseller account is seemingly more expensive as compared to the regular hosting packages, this type of account allows the reseller to host multiple domains under a single hosting account as well as allows the user to resell the hosting services at a higher price and thereby earn profits. For many users, this hosting package is more cost-effective especially if they wish to host multiple domain names under a single account. It is important to follow a few basic guidelines before signing up for a reseller hosting package:
1. The reseller account should allow the reseller to be able to host unlimited domain names under a single reseller hosting account.
2. A reseller hosting plan should ideally be flexible enough to allow an easy plan upgrade without any kind of fee or penalties.
3. A reseller account that allows free web hosting for the reseller’s main website would be a perfect fit. It is also important to evaluate your bandwidth and storage space requirements prior to selecting your reseller hosting package. Ascertain the number of websites you would want to host, the number of web pages on each website as well as the amount of traffic these websites are likely to receive. Once you reach a certain figure, you would be in a better stead to select a reseller package that suits your requirements as well as gives you room to earn money by reselling the hosting services to users worldwide. So you can either host multiple websites under a single hosting account or host your main website for free (if offered by the host) and reserve the rest of the space and bandwidth for your customers. This way, the reseller has two options to consider when he selects a reseller hosting account.
4. There are reseller accounts that start at as low as $10 per month. This price tag can however go up to hundreds of dollars per month. Here it becomes important to take the quality and reliability of the hosting company into consideration rather than just randomly select a hosting account just because of its dearth cheap pricing structures.
