Web Hosting Can Make You Crazy
By : Chuck Brown 
So...it's time to build your first web site. You've used a software application to create a simple page, and now you're trying to figure out how to get the doggone thing online. Where do you go to do that, anyway?
It can be maddening to try to figure this process out when you're new to this game. But, as someone who's built close to 150 sites, let me share with you a little bit of my experience in the constantly evolving world of hosting.
Once upon a time, a web hosting account allowed you to put up a single web site, and everyone was really happy with this arrangement. But, as the web grew and folks wanted to put up more than just a single site, the idea of paying to host each individual site became much less attractive. The ability to host multple sites has been around for some time now...but it looks a bit different than it did even three years ago. There are three popular hosting models. The names may change, but the hosting packages most companies offer are identical to or slight variations of these three:
Shared Hosting: These accounts can be very affordable...starting at less than 5 dollars a month. There is one master domain...the one you sign up with originally...and then your "add-on" domains are actually located in subfolders inside this root site. That's not visible to the outside world...which is good, because who wants a web address like http://www.mymainsite.com/myothersite?
* The upside to this type of package is the features and the price. The best hosting companies really load up on stuff (much of which you'll never use) to prove that they are the best.
* The downside is that you are sharing resources with a TON of other people. So if you're on the same server with someone who is using a ton of bandwidth and processor power...the performance of your sites tend to suffer. With the better hosting companies...the ones who keep an eye on those who drain resources, this can be less of a problem. So a good shared hosting arrangement can be the very best option for some people.
Virtual Private Server: The VPS option is a step up from Shared Hosting. There are still multiple clients on the same server...but the boundaries between you are enhanced significantly. You have a certain amount of "protected memory" (i.e., RAM set aside just for you) and the processor has the similar boundaries set up so that others can't steal all its power.
* Upside: Higher guarantee of performance. Cheaper than dedicated hosting.
* Downside: It can be pricey. Full-featured, high-capacity VPS hosting will easily slip into the $50-100 per month range...and you'll find that the allowances for disk space and transfer bandwidth are DRAMATICALLY lower than those of shared hosting accounts, even at a much higher price.
Dedicated Hosting: This is when you lease an entire server for your purposes. There are two levels of dedicated servers...an unmanaged server or a managed server. If you know how to manage a server, you're probably not reading this article, because you know way more than I do already. But there are server administrators that you can hire to do that for you...although it will probably cost you at least an additional $50/mo for that service. A managed server can become amazingly expensive...up to several hundred dollars a month. But those who are very serious about their online business sometimes find that it's necessary to be able to control virtually all eventualities.
* Upside: Almost total control. And for the few things you can't do yourself (like pull the plug out of the back of the computer and plug it back in), there's usually someone on-site who can.
* Downside: Price and complexity.
So...for the most part, you will want to begin with Shared Hosting. If you outgrow that, try a Virtual Private Server. And when you're making hand-over-fist...that's the time to look into a Dedicated server.
Best of luck in your journey!

| Budget Web Host Guidelines |

Budget Web Host Guidelines
By : J.O. Moen
Budget web hosting is generally defined as any hosting service that is below $10 per month. Most companies in the budget web hosting category only offer one year plans. Most hosting companies however, will quote you the monthly fee you would have to pay. Keep that in mind when you are comparing one company with another. The other thing to look out for is the setup fee to get up and running.
What's your first impression of the company?
The first place to start evaluating web hosting companies is their front page. Does their website look professional? Is it easy to find all of the information you need? Take a look at their contact information. Do they list a physical address, an email address and a phone number to contact them? If they don't provide any contact details, that has to throw up a red flag. If you run into problems setting up your website and you have no contact information, how are you going to get service from that company?
How about a toll free support number?
Does the web hosting company provide a toll free number for you to contact them? If they are based in Atlanta, GA and you are in Seattle, WA, you don't want to be paying long distance while you are trying to solve problems over the phone. A toll free number also speaks to their willingness to deal openly and honestly with their customers.
What is the uptime guarantee?
Uptime guarantee refers to the amount of time the server is live and serving your web pages. An uptime guarantee of 99% means that the host guarantees that their servers will be up and operational 99% of the time. Over the course of one year, 99% uptime would represent a downtime (the one percent) of around 87 hours in a year or an average of 7 hours per month. An uptime of 99.9% would involve only 8 hours of downtime for the entire year.
What kind of after sale support can you expect?
While there are many factors to consider, make sure the company provides after sale support. What kind of resources do they make available for you? Find out if the budget web hosting company offers free scripts. Do they have any marketing tools they can make available to you? What kind of support for setting up your account can you expect from the budget web hosting company? All of these factors must be taken into consideration. Just because a company offers a budget web hosting service, doesn't mean you necessarily have to compromise on features, quality or service. All three will only be found, however, if you make sure to do your homework to find a budget web hosting company that is a good fit for you.

| Windows Based Hosting vs. Linux Based Hosting: Which One is Right for You? |

Windows Based Hosting vs. Linux Based Hosting: Which One is Right for You?
By Ron Swerdfiger
If you are looking to get hosting for your web site, there is one major decision you have to make. Should you get Linux based hosting or Windows based hosting? Here are a few facts to help you decide which one is best for your needs. At most hosting companies, there is no difference between Linux based hosting plans and Windows based hosting plans. Most people think that if they use a Windows operating system, they have to use Windows based hosting, but this is not the case. Many people that have Windows operating systems and use Linux based hosting over Windows. Both Windows, as well as Linux, allow the use of PHP, MySql databases, and much more. So, what is the difference between Windows and Linux based hosting? Well, Windows based hosting is better for hosting files you created using Windows based technology. For example, if you created a web site in html using Windows FrontPage, or used ASP or the .NET environment, or any other Windows program to create you site, than you should choose Windows based hosting. If you did not use Windows technology, then Linux based hosting may be a good option. As far as security is concerned, there is really no difference between choosing Windows and choosing Linux, The difference lies in the hosting company you used and the plan you signed up for. Both Windows based hosting applications as well as Linux based hosting applications have been hacked. However, it is a general rule of thumb that Windows based hosting is more insecure than Linux based hosting. While making your decision, if you are unsure which to choose, call your host’s support number or send them an e-mail outlining what exactly you plan to host and what the features of your site are. A web host support technician will be best able to assist you if he knows exactly what you plan to do with your hosting account. The Bottom Line: If you used any Windows program to create your web site, choose Windows based hosting, otherwise, go with Linux based hosting. |

| Free Web Hosting |

Free Web Hosting
By Jason Gluckman
Internet hosting or web hosting is a lucrative business. The hosting firms charge according to the quantity and quality of features, support and more. But some hosting firms are absolutely free. There are many ways to make money even on a free website. The most common way is to place banner ads in the client's site. Other hosting firms bombard you with the client's e-mail ID at the time of registration, using ads and spam mails. Still others offer free hosting in the hope of convincing the client to upgrade to an advanced hosting service by paying a hefty fee. And there are those who charge an exorbitant registration fee. Free hosting is not a viable option for business websites as there is no guarantee of either service or security. Also, many free hosting firms shut down within a year of starting the operation. Some close down even within a day or two. Under these circumstances, free hosting can be useful for those who wish to post personal information such as family photos or personal profiles, or for those who want to learn the basics of web hosting. Free hosting can also be useful for those who want to try their programming scripts in different environments. It's a good idea to check websites already hosted by the company for insight into the type of ads the firm will display and to discover the bandwidth speed the provide. Some free hosting directories will publish user reviews of the hosting firms, which may be a valuable source for the prospective client. Remember, every free hosting firm will try to make money from your website. Look for a hosting firm, which is less intrusive and more reliable. |

What is Windows Hosting?
by: Mer Amer
Windows hosting is referred to web sites that are served through Microsoft Windows NT or 2000 Internet Information Server (IIS). It is an NT-based server that is installed with Microsoft Windows Server Edition such as Windows XP or 2003.It is widely regarded as having powerful end-to-end management, scalability and reliability features, hence its popularity for integrating businesses with the internet.
Windows hosting is the solution that you should go for if you intend to use specific Windows applications such as Active Server Pages (ASP), and if you plan to develop your website with Microsoft FrontPage. Furthermore, if your website will be developed with .NET, MS Index Server or Visual Basic scripts , Windows hosting is the better choice compared to UNIX. In terms of database, MS SQL is compatible for both UNIX and Windows hosting, but MS Access database is served only by Windows hosting.
The advantage of Windows hosting is for users to easily integrate any Microsoft products to websites due to the fact that millions of users are using Windows and use these Microsoft products. With Microsoft’s technology, you will also be able to integrate cross-browser script libraries from Java Script with ASP. Certain features such as ODBC database connectivity and ColdFusion may only be used for Windows hosting and may not by UNIX.
Cost-wise, Windows hosting are known to be expensive to set up due to its proprietary software and the use of Windows servers. However, when using a remote server, Windows hosting becomes very affordable and is very competitive compared to the price of UNIX hosting. Added to the fact that the good performance and the robustness of Microsoft application that this hosting type offers, the minimal extra cost is definitely worth spent.
In general, Windows hosting is the best for integrating your website with Microsoft products. Although it is slightly more expensive than UNIX hosting, the advantage of integrating all powerful Microsoft-proprietary application and scripts into this hosting environment far outweighs the costs incurred.

What is E-commerce hosting?
by: Mer Amer
E-commerce hosting is a hosting package designed for customers who require a complete online business solution for their websites. E-commerce hosting providers provide the infrastructure, systems and applications needed for a website to perform online transactions. Hence, it has become a very important requirement of online businesses since it enables the customers to transact over the internet easily and more importantly in a secure environment. Thus, it is of no surprise that e-commerce hosting has become one of the fastest growing hosting services, looking at the rate in which people are doing business through the internet.
The most common features of an e-commerce hosting are shopping carts that are used for online transactions. This service offers a fast and convenient way for online buyers to manage their purchases and make payments.

From web developers’ point of view, shopping carts provide the ability to manage the complexities of web purchases in a systematic and simplified manner.

These companies would normally provide a 24-hour technical support to provide immediate response to queries.
The other must-have feature of an e-commerce hosting is the Secure Socket Layer (SSL). With SSL, the security of an online website is going to be taken care of by the hosting provider. Since security is one of the most important, if not the most important feature of an e-commerce website, SSL guarantees the peace of mind of making transactions safely.

What is Dedicated hosting?
by: Mer Amer
Dedicated hosting is a hosting environment where one or more servers are dedicated for a single client. The client effectively leases the server from the hosting provider. The hosting provider provides the server machine, the connectivity and the required software and operating system to run the server. Dedicated hosting can also be split into two categories – managed and unmanaged dedicated hosting. For managed dedicated hosting, the hosting provider will provide the services of running and maintaining the server within their own datacenter. This is a good choice if you don’t have the personnel, money or time to operate a server in-house. This is the choice for web developers who do not want to be bogged down by server management activities. While for unmanaged dedicated hosting, there will be a lot of support and maintenance features that are not provided by the hosting provider and will be done by the customers themselves. This is normally the hosting choice for system administrators who want to manage their servers themselves.
Dedicated hosting is the opposite of shared hosting where the resources are shared among different customers. It is crucial for large and complex websites that require plenty of disk space, bandwidth, applications and software to operate. This hosting type is the perfect choice for websites to maintain a high volume of traffic and fast data transfer. It enables the webmasters to have total control of their website since the performance of their websites is only controlled by internal factors and not by other websites. For web developers, installation and embedding of complex applications such as online shopping tools and automated tools can be done without affecting the stability of the servers.
It is important that you find out the range of services offered by different hosting providers as there is no standard set out for managed dedicated hosting. There will be different levels of support provided, depending on the packages and requirements by the customer. There are also different set ups and maintenance scope for the servers. For example, there are hosting providers who provide a shared infrastructure for backend database while the clients host their applications on a dedicated server. Conversely, there are also configurations whereby the application is hosted on a shared infrastructure while the backend database on dedicated server.
In terms of security, the control of security features for a dedicated hosting is far greater compared to a shared hosting. For a dedicated hosting service, the hosting provider will normally provide extreme security features to combat potential security threats to the hosted websites. Additionally, the dedicated server can only be accessed by the site owner and the hosting provider, meaning that there will be fewer possibilities of security breaches.
In summary, the take-up for dedicated hosting will definitely increase significantly due to the booming of complex e-commerce websites and various enhanced functionalities that websites are able to offer, thus requiring more resources and stability on the hosting platform. For beginners, the idea is to start small with shared hosting, then to scale up the hosting capabilities together with the website’s functionalities, and eventually moving to a dedicated hosting environment.

| What is Coldfusion Hosting? |

What is Coldfusion Hosting?
by: Mer Amer
ColdFusion hosting is a server-side scripting language which is similar to PHP or ASP. A product of Macromedia, it is considered as a complete web application server for not only basic hosting, but extends to developing and delivering scaleable e-commerce applications especially for business websites. Mostly, ColdFusion is utilized in small and large businesses, and also for some advanced personal uses. It is due to the fact that in a short space of time, users will be able to create robust Web applications coupled with advanced data integration.
Since it is a server-side technology, ColdFusion hosting works by having a web server to process and deliver web applications, rather than just plain web pages. The language used is called ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) which includes tags for querying databases, outputting text and interacting with different web services. The language uses tags and attributes, similar to XHTML, for the codes that interact with the website and its back-end functions. CFML is relatively much simpler than languages like C++. However, a strong understanding in HTML coding and relational database design is still very important.
From a web developer’s point of view, ColdFusion hosting requires less learning time and fewer code lines compared to ASP, PHP or JSP. Developers can develop their application locally using various tools such as ColdFusion Studio and only move to the real ColdFusion server when fully ready. The capabilities of ColdFusion hosting encompasses shopping cart-enabled web store,,back-end support for interactive Flash applications and to the extent of building a global network for a company.
In terms of cost, due to the expensive cost to set up a ColdFusion server and engine, the price for this type of hosting is normally more expensive than the normal UNIX and Windows hosting. However, with the unrivalled advanced features that it provides, and the availability of shared ColdFusion server, the hosting price has come out to be very competitive.
Overall, ColdFusion hosting is a technology that helps to build powerful web applications and services. Its biggest advantage over other hosting types is the simplicity that it offers to develop websites that would otherwise be more complex if coded in ASP, PHP or JSP. In short, ColdFusion hosting delivers powerful web capabilities using an easy-to-learn and highly productive server-side scripting environment.

Web HostingBy Brian Shoemaker
Web hosting is a service that allows you to put your website (domain name) on the internet. After you have thought of a name for your website and registered the domain name, the next step is to find a web hosting service from a web hosting provider.
There are basically three types of web hosting services a web host will offer. They are shared web hosting, dedicated server hosting and virtual private server hosting.
A shared web hosting plan is when multiple customers share a server. Each customer has their own unique domain name. This type of web hosting service is generally less expensive and is ideal for those of you who are new to web hosting and are just launching your first website.
Dedicated server hosting and virtual private server hosting are types of web hosing services that would be needed for a web site, or multiple web sites, that generates millions of page views or hits a day. These two web hosting services are generally more expensive than shared web hosting.
If you choose a shared web hosting plan, and want to keep the same web host the entire time you have the website, look for a web host that offers a virtual private server or dedicated server hosting plan as well. This way, you will be able to upgrade as your site becomes popular and accumulates large amounts of traffic.
Find web hosting providers who offer shared web hosting, virtual private servers and dedicated servers at Find-A-Web-Host.com.
