Basic Concepts of Web Hosts

Monday, April 23, 2007 posted by admin 11:01 pm




The one who wants to enter in this web world and desires for a long time survival, then he/she should be familiar with each and every terminology used in this field. If user considers all the important factors before choosing a hosting plan then only he/she will be able to have a successful future in this world .User should not choose any of the plan, rather he/she should opt the best and most suitable one and this can only be made possible by fetching more and more informations and also by studying properly all the requirements. New comers should start from the basics .They should learn the meaning of each and every term used and also in addition those factors that can affect his/her selection.

Web Host

Web host refers to a computer connected to the internet. Web host can also be termed as ‘web server’. The computer that is playing the role of the web server needs to be more powerful than normal PCs and the function of this web server is to serve up websites.

The website content of the user will remain will on this computer, so as the people who are surfing on the internet can get a way to access his/her website.

There can be three main categories in which the web host can be classified based on the economic factor and common features:

1. Free Hosts:

The users who are not professional but are making website only as a hobby then for them free hosting can be a good option. In free hosting space, bandwidth and other features provided are very limited. With free web hosting one can not only make his/her website successful but is also suitable for personal websites or for temporary usage. Generally free hosting enforces pop-up, text or banner ads. Reliability, best performance and customer support lacks in case of free hosting as well. When a user registers for a free host then the word free host gets added with the user’s domain name that gives an adverse effect in the eye of the visitors.

2. Shared Hosts:

The next type of the web hosting to be discussed is shared hosting. This hosting service is used by many of the web sites .This type of hosting service is Suitable for personal, small and medium businesses. This service can be used by paying $1 to $25 per month. The features provided by this service vary from very limited space/bandwidth to semi-dedicated servers. The users host their website by this type of hosting service and it has its own top level domain facility. No doubt that shared web hosting is quite better than free hosting but still it does not provide 100% satisfactory services. In case of shared hosting one server is shared by the number of websites so its performance and availability gets affected. More websites usually means less performance. If less number of websites are hosted by one server then it will be more expensive, but in this case there are more chances of reliability. There are many companies allowing customers to host multiple websites with different domains under a single account.

3. Dedicated Hosts:

The next type of hosting is dedicated hosting. This type of hosting is most reliable hosting. In this type of hosting a full server is dedicated to a single customer. Generally this type of hosting is used by large businesses, professionals and very active websites dealing with thousands of visitors daily. The customers having dedicated hosting can have their total control over the server as well as able to create as many websites as they like. Customers can run their own hosting company on a rented dedicated server. Payment module is mentioned according to specifications and services provided with the server, which varies from $100 up to about $800 dollars per month.

4. Collocated Hosts:

Now the other type of hosting service to be discussed is collocated hosting. This service is very much similar to dedicated hosting. The difference between collocated hosting and dedicated hosting is that in collocated hosting the customer owns the server hardware instead of renting it. In this service the server will be placed in provider’s data center. This service is more expensive than dedicated hosting.

5. Reseller Hosts:

In reseller hosting the providers offers web server storage to their customers, and resells the web server storage to them. Generally providers offer resellers a discount price.

6. Other Hosts:

Including the above type of hosts there are also many other hosts such as email hosts, media hosts, data hosts, etc but these hosts will not be discussed in this article.

Domain Name

Domain name is the name which shows the place where one’s website is located. The actual address of the website is a set of numbers. Each and every web server has its own unique address. Domain name indicates the real addresses of every websites. One can easily remember the domain name of any of the website. Remembering domain name is easier than recalling the IP addresses.

Space / Storage

Space is one of the services provided by the web host. It plays a very important role in the website development. It happens many times that the customer requires more space but the host fails to provide it, so customer should be very careful while choosing the web host. Storage is the amount of web server’s disk space available for customer’s website files, images and databases. Space can be according to the requirement; it can be as small as 5MB in some free hosts and as big as 300GB for some dedicated servers. Earlier prices of the space were very high but prices reduced significantly during the last few years. The hosting plans offering 3GB of space for less than $10 a month can be easily available.

Bandwidth

Bandwidth can be defined as the amount of data transferred from web server to clients’ internet browsers. When ever a person outlook a page the data is transmitted from the server to that person’ PC. If any one is having audio, video and images in his/her website then the bandwidth consumed is more in comparison of the website having only text contents. The bandwidth available in free hosting can be as low as 100MB per month where as in some dedicated servers the bandwidth available is as high as 2000GB a month. The customers who don’t want to pay more for bandwidth can easily find hosting plans offering 75GB of monthly data transfer for less than $10.

Server Type

Generally server means the operating system than runs the web server. Some common types are Windows, Linux and UNIX. Server type refers the server side scripting and database types. The difference between Windows server and Linux/UNIX is that Windows runs ASP and ASP.NET with Access or SQL Server databases where as Linux/UNIX servers usually runs CGI, PHP or JSP with MySQL or Oracle databases. The other difference is that Windows servers are more expensive than Linux/UNIX servers.

Databases

As server type is discussed earlier also, we are able to know that there are different types of databases available. The mostly used is MySQL as it is open source GPL (free) software and can serve a lot of online applications’ requirements such as forums, content management, mailing lists, etc. MySQL, rather its features are limited. MySQL is sufficient for small concern but it is not powerful for the complicated large business sites. Large business requires more powerful databases such as Oracle or SQL Server.

.

Server Side Scripting

Usually the new comers prefer to use PHP as server side scripting. The reason behind this is that there are hundreds of open source (GPL) PHP scripts that are able to fulfill the webmaster’s requirements. However PHP also has some limitations in features required by advanced websites same as in the case of MySQL, due to this limitation some professional web developers prefer to use ASP.NET or JSP. Some other developers still prefer to use Cold Fusion, CGI, ASP or PERL.

Email

Now the next very important aspect to be talked about is Email. At present no one can move further in this computer world with having his/her Email account. The one who is planning to do any kind of activity through computer such as to run a business or to provide any kind of service, then the first thing he/she need to do is to open an Email account. There are many hosting plans that include the feature of having some email accounts with customer’s domain. The availability of number and size of email accounts totally depends on the hosting plan one opted. Generally this feature is not included in free hosting. Small plans provide only about 10 accounts where as big plans do not have the limited number. Usually those email accounts are web based and accessible through POP3 clients as well.

File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

The other service is FTP. File Transfer Protocol is a usual way of transferring files across the Internet. Most of the webmasters used to upload and download their websites contents through FTP. The process of uploading or downloading is performed by using FTP client software. Webmasters require FTP username and password so as to access their web server. There are any hosts who use to provide more than one FTP account to their customers as per their requirement. Rather FTP is unspecified; it is not advisable as per the security reasons.

Control Panel

Control panel is the service available by many of the web hosting companies to their customers. It is a web based application that helps in managing websites. Some important functions performed by the control panel are that it used to manage email accounts, providing statistics, managing FTP accounts, managing domains and sub-domains and managing databases. The control panel application that is mostly used by the user is cPanel. There are many companies who use to develop their own control panel application.

Uptime

Now after having all the services, the thing of concern which remains is how the user keeps his/her website uptime most of the time. If anyone is having a website with excellent features but it remains down most of the time it will be of no use, as when ever the visitors visit his/her website and found it down then later on they will think twice before visiting it. In result he/she will suffer the loss of visitors. Uptime is very important feature of web hosts and that is usually measured in percentage. If a server remains down near about 30 minutes a day will have an uptime percentage of about 99.98%, which is acceptable for most small to medium business websites. If any of the business website is not having at least this percentage of uptime then that website is not suitable for a business website. Mission critical sites cannot tolerate frequent outages, thus they may use web monitoring services to notify web administrators immediately when an outage happens.

Price

Finally the factor left is price. In this option also there is a great variability found like for example customer is having option to choose between the prices ranging from 0 to $1000 per month. For most personal, small and medium websites the total amount of cost involved is just $15 per month. Thus its not at all advisable for business website owners to select very cheap plans let say less than $5 because this price can lead to huge cost indirectly afterwards.

How to Choose a Web Hosting Company

Saturday, April 21, 2007 posted by admin 8:39 am




Choosing a web hosting company for your website is an integral decision that could affect the success or failure of your web site. It is imperative that your choice of a web host provides you with the necessary elements of what you need while not giving you any extra items that you do not need. So your homework and do not settle for any web host. Find one in which the price is in line with the kinds of services it offers its clients.



Two vital components of a website are the data storage (also known as the disk space) and the second is the bandwidth. Data storage is essential because you need it in order to upload whatever it is you work with, whether it is pictures or text and content for your web pages. As the name implies, it also provides a place to store your all important work. The web host you settle on must be able to accomplish all of the things you require it to do.

How much space you require has to do with your web design set up, such as how many images you plan to upload. Data storage often includes managing your site with the help of FTP. Many web hosts include FTP access to website owners automatically. FTP should play a role in your decision making process.

Data transfer (or bandwidth) is simply the amount of information of data that is received by way of the time frame. The more people that drop in on your website, the more bandwidth is used. The amount of files that are downloaded from your site during a four-week period should be smaller than the portion of bandwidth that the web hosting company allows you.

Web hosting is not the same every place you look and what each company offers will be different from one another. For example, if your web design on your web site is to be very simple and is not a corporate web site design or a business web site design, then it is in your best interests to choose a web hosting service that offers a deal for those just starting out. Think novice. As time passes, if your web site becomes larger, you can then rethink your options. You are best to start small and then “cross that bridge when you come to it” as the saying goes!

The more complex your web site design is, the more you will require from the web hosting company. Take your time as you shop around. Ask other people for referrals. Contact companies and see what each has to offer. Do not automatically settle for just any old company. Do your research before committing to one company. There is no better way to make sure you choose the right company then by delving deep into the positive attributes and negative attributes of each. Keep the purpose of your web site design in mind and shoot for the stars! Do not settle for anything but the best.

How to Choose Your Web Hosting Company

Monday, April 9, 2007 posted by admin 4:00 pm




Copyright (c) 2008 Colin Meunier

The Internet has today turned from just a information and entertainment tool to a necessary concept in the business plan of any growing company. A website is very important for any person and company who wish to have a global presence and make it felt. In fact, with the advent of globalization, any company, businessman or entrepreneur who does not have his own website will be considered behind the times.

Mostly, how your website will turn out will depend on the web designer, web programmer and you. However, the first step towards a good website is a good web hosting company. Here are some tips on how to choose your web hosting company.

There are many web hosting companies who offer various kinds of web hosting services. One should realize, that any Internet service is quite different from the traditional products or services that one buys in real time. There is nothing like quality or looks while choosing a internet service. Simply put, a web hosting company that charges $40 and a web hosting company that charges $200 will give you the same service – web hosting.

So what is that makes them stand apart? What is the distinguishing factor between cheap and expensive web hosting?

One thing that is not suggested for any company is free web hosting. Going by the idea that nothing in life is free, free web hosting does not give you a domain name. All you get is a sub-domain on their website. So, if the name of your company is Acme Marketing, the name of the website would be acmemarketing.xyz.com. This is considered to be completely unprofessional and would falter on the one main aspect of a website: corporate presence.

Well, the first thing that one should decide before choosing a web hosting company is the features that one would require. There are web hosting companies that take care of the entire process of a website, right from uploading the website to maintaining it, and maintaining also means securing the website against hack attacks.

Then there are companies that only provide you hosting, and you have to look into the uploading, maintained and security of the website. These web hosts charge a lot less than the others.

Another aspect that you should consider while choosing a web hosting company is the technology they provide and offer. Internet technology is changing drastically everyday and it is very necessary for your web hosting company to be in with the times. For example, your web hosting company should be able to support your web pages in any of the technologies that they are made in today, from .ASP.NET to to .PHP.

As far as the role of the web hosting company in web designing is concerned, make sure that your web hosting company supports CSS. Cascading Style Sheets or CSS is what has taken web designing by storm, and this is the coding language that most web pages and websites are made in today.

Service is also very important for a web hosting company. Look into what is their turn-back time on any technical problems that they have faced. Do a proper research of web hosting companies before deciding on one. Make sure to visit each of their websites and take in all the necessary details.

Finding the Right Web Hosting Plan

Sunday, April 1, 2007 posted by admin 5:37 am




are many things to consider when choosing a web hosting plan. The five most important are listed below.

1. Disk Space/Storage

2. Data Transfer

3. Cost

4. Programming Languages

5. Support

1. Disk Space/Storage refers to the amount of space given by a web hosting plan for your web site’s pages, images, and any additional files. Take this into consideration when determining the total number of files you will be using for your website and their sizes. For example, let’s say that among your files you have 100 images which are 50 Kilobytes each in size. This would use up 4.88281 Megabytes of your storage *(100 x 50 Kilobytes = 5000 Kilobytes = 4.88281 Megabytes). If you are planing on creating a website with a lot of video or audio files, you will need a lot of disk space. You can calculate the disk space you will need for your website here.

2. Data Transfer is the monthly amount of outward-bound non-email traffic from your web site, that is allowed by a web hosting plan. Each time a visitor views one of your pages, all the files used to generate the page are calculated into your data transfer. For example, let’s say a visitor views a page that has 50 Kilobytes of text and 200 images at 100 Kilobytes apiece. This page view would use .0191212 Gigabytes of data transfer *{50 Kilobytes + (200 x 100 Kilobytes) = 20050 Kilobytes = 19.58008 Megabytes = .0191212 Gigabytes}. Most web hosting plans’ monthly data transfer allowances are listed in Gigabytes. To calculate your expected monthly data transfer and convert it into Gigabytes, use these calculators.

3. Cost is very important. You want to find a web hosting plan that fits into your budget and not sacrifice your disk space and data transfer. Many web hosts have more than one plan. So, if you outgrow one plan, you can upgrade to another that offers more disk space and data transfer.

4. Programming Languages such as ASP, PHP, Perl/CGI, JSP and ColdFusion are used to create a lot of popular scripts (software) to help your website function. For example, let’s say you find an auction script that is written in PHP and you want to use it on a new domain name you just bought (the-best-auctions-are-here.com). In that case, you want to make sure the web hosting plan supports PHP. Also, if you are planning on selling services or products from your website, make sure the web hosting plan you choose offers some type of ecommerce web hosting solution such as a shopping cart for example.

5. Support is really important when choosing a web hosting plan. You should check to see if the web host offers “24 hours a day / 7 days a week” support whether by phone, chat or email.

Now, you can use this web host search form to help you find a web hosting plan that meets your needs.

*1,024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte 1,024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte 1,024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
