Web Hosting Classification

September 28th, 2010

There are many metrics for which to classify a web hosting provider. Nowadays there are so many web hosting providers to choose from, so it is very difficult to know which companies are the best. So the main aspects of classifying web hosting include:

  • Cost
  • Programming languages/technologies
  • Operating systems
  • Features
  • Web servers(Uptime)

Of course when you buy something one of the first thinng you ask is the PRICE! For web hosting providers it is very important to find your perfect solution for your site with good price. Over the past 10 years, web hosting has become inexpensive due to budget hosting. Many of the inexpensive hosts cost less than $5 per month. For only a few dollars more per month, you can acquire some excellent features.

Another inquiry by website owners is the programming languages used on the server. This will allow them to customize the site by increasing interactive features. Nowadays the most used technologies are ASP.NET and PHP, also ASP, JSP, PHP and other. These are all web-based programming languages that provide full user’s command. For now the most used technology in web is PHP

Every plan of Host-ed.net offers you different technologies: PHP, Perl/CGI, Python, Ruby, SSI and other

The third classification is the operating system used on the server. The choices are usually Windows or Linux. As we have mentioned mostly used technology is PHP and also it is mostly hosted on Linux based OS. You should choose appropriate operating system as it is very important for the technologies you could use.

Host-ed.net uses LINUX as operating system

The next classification is the features of the web servers. These commonly include performance, uptime and connection speed as well as the type of hosting. The choices are, shared hosting, dedicated hosting and Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting. Each option has a different cost for monthly service.

Host-ed.net offers you VPS hosting - starting from $19 per month

Another very important classification is the features offered by the web hosting provider. These are typically the extras you receive after signing up.

The Top Five Features Of Quality Web Hosting

May 11th, 2010

The Top 5 five features of good web hosting! Remember them - they are very important for you if you want to have successful website. If your host has not even 1 of them then our advice is to change your web hosting provider. These main features are responsable for your better online presence, online business, SEO.

  • Your site is up 99 percent of the time: If your web host has servers that are not capable and that get pretty slow when they are overloaded, you know you’re out of luck. Your page does not load and the status is often “not found.” This annoys visitors who are specifically looking for your site and drives away those who are arriving for the first time based on search engine results. So if your site is up and running 99.9 percent of the time, you’ve struck it rich in the world of web hosting.
  • Your visitors don’t complain of slow access: When your server is capable of loading your pages in the blink of an eye no matter how large your files are or how heavy the traffic is, you know you were lucky enough to find a good web host. Most web users are frustrated with slow load times – even if their speeds are at DSL-level or higher, they are limited by the speed of the server that loads the page they’re looking for.
  • You know how to reach your hosts in case of any problem: Not many hosts are great with customer support and service, so if your provider answers your calls and takes care of any issues immediately, you’re luckier than a man who just won a lottery. When you’re able to avoid downtime and frequent technical hassles because your customer support is top notch, you know you have a web host worth staying with.
  • You have the option to upgrade your space requirements as you go: Your storage space depends on what you pay for your web hosting service. When you start out on the Internet, you don’t expect too many visitors and your needs are limited. But then as you gain in popularity and your traffic increases, you expand accordingly. And if your web host accommodates your storage needs as and when you need more space, then you know your partnership was a stroke of luck.
  • You don’t find that your site has disappeared overnight: We live in a world of fly-by-night operators who close shop without a word and disappear into the dark when they’ve made their money. They don’t bother to inform people who depend on them to run their sites, so if you find that your website has disappeared, it’s because your service provider has shut shop to cut their losses. If your host has been around for a while and you’re never worried about being left in the lurch, you know you got lucky with your choice of web host.

Host-ed.net has these 5 features and this is for very good price - starting at $4.99 per month!

What are VPS

March 29th, 2010

Virtual Private Servers are also known as Virtual dedicated servers - VPS or VDS.

Virtual Private Servers fills the gap between shared hosting and dedicated servers providing small to medium sized businesses and websites with the reliability and control of dedicated hosting but with a cheaper cost per month.

They display a form of virtualization that split a single physical server into multiple virtual servers. This practice of dividing a single virtual server to make it appear as multiple virtual servers has been commonly observed in mainframe computers.

Virtual Servers - Filling the Gap

In the Internet hosting service industry, VPS hosting fill the gap between shared web hosting service and dedicated hosting service and are fast becoming the foundation of many hosting companies. They allow grass root-level access to individual clients without requiring the actual hassle of physically dedicated servers. They are popularly used by businesses and individuals that need a customized solution that cannot be done in a shared hosting environment.

How To Choose Good Web Hosting Provider

March 23rd, 2010

Important Advices - how to choose good web hosting provider:

Disk Space&Monthly Traffic

Does it have enough space for your needs? And also monthly traffic is related with web site and resources that it offers to users. If you envisage that you will expand your site eventually, you might want to cater for future expansion. More web sites uses less than 250 MB - but also it is fact that you should predict such needs.

Host-ed.net offers 3 web hosting plans - Free(150 MB Disk space),  Personal Plan(120 GB Disk space) and Business Plan (300 GB DISK SPACE)

Reliability and speed of access

As we have written in our article - Web Hosting Company and Good SEO - the main problem that you need to be aware of is server downtime. Not only should the web host be reliable and fast, it should guarantee its uptime (the time when it is functional). Look for a minimum uptime of 99%. In fact, even 99% is actually too low - it really should be 99.5% or higher. The host should provide some sort of refund (eg prorated refund or discount) if it falls below that figure. Note though that guarantees are often hard to enforce from your end - the host usually requires all sorts of documentation. However, without that guarantee, the web host will have little incentive to ensure that its servers are running all the time. Good solution for your web hosting provider is Host-ed.net - 99.9% Uptime!

Technical Support

Does its technical support function 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (often abbreviated 24/7), all year around? Note that I will not accept a host which does not have staff working on weekends or public holidays. You will be surprised at how often things go wrong at the most inconvenient of times. Incidentally, just because a host advertises that it has 24/7 support does not necessarily mean that it really has that kind of support. Test them out by emailing at midnight and on Saturday nights, Sunday mornings, etc. Check out how long they take to respond. Besides speed of responses, check to see if they are technically competent. You wouldn’t want to sign up for a host that is run by a bunch of salesmen who only know how to sell and not fix problems. HOST-ED.NET has 24/7 support!

PHP, FTP, Perl, SSI, .htaccess, telnet, SSH, MySQL, crontabs, Oracle

It is very important which technologies you can use! PHP is one of the world-leading web scripts! It is used with MySQL(and not only)! Exists thousands of free programs, CMS, forums , galleries, blogs, etc so it is preferred language for most web masters! Also you should check the version of PHP, MySQL. Host-ed.net offers you PHP 4/5/6(you can switch between them according your needs), MySQL 4/5, Perl, CGI, SSH, etc

SSL (secure server), Shopping Cart

If you are planning on doing any sort of business through your website, you might want to look out to see if the host provides these facilities. These facilities normally involve a higher priced package or additional charges. The main thing is to check to see if they are available at all before you commit to the host. You will definitely need SSL if you want to collect credit card payments on your site. Host-ed.net provides you SSL certificates

Find Cheap and Stable Joomla Hosting

November 27th, 2009

Joomla hosting, doing things that weren’t possible

Joomla is one of the free software that comes as a standard kit for the people who want to make exclusive and stylish forum postings site. The applicability of the application is not reserved to that part, however the people that have used it in the forum posting think that it is the spot for the software and that is going to be the main and primary focus of this article.

The first thing is the new upgrade version 1.5 that has come in the market and has new features that have improved the interface and the user friendliness. The first improvement that was present to some extent in the previous version is the multiuse and the multilevel environment. The thing about this is that the user can interact and contribute to the development and further products that can help all the people using the application. After that is the people who are in that group are given different tasks and given different privileges. The next thing in the line is the new editor which has been abbreviated as WYSIWYG – what you see is what you get editor allows the user to make easy addition and subtraction to the things that he want. Also by installing other e-commerce solutions you can give the entire application a new look and redefine its purpose.

As mentioned above the things that have been added to the system make sure that you get the best hosting for Joomla and the Joomla hosting service has been made problem free. As the people who have been working beneath the system of this freeware have done an excellent job. The thing with the Joomla sites is that they are mostly related to the forums and the reason as told before is that the things this application can do are mammoth. Let us see how the fast Joomla hosting service can take you to a new level. How Joomla is made a statement in the forum world is because of the things it can do, starting with the adding of category to a forum. After that comes the addition in the contact information. Then is the additional of a paypal to your site, the next think is the addition of sections to the forum site, after that comes the basic administration tasks, in fact all of them. The next thing is changing the homepage and installing and changing all the main pages of the sites. After that comes the language portion, and then in the line is the creation of article, allotment of email addresses, and notification to all the people that are on the account according to the desired setting of the user. Then comes the backup and installation and upgrading of the Joomla software so that you have the fastest Joomla hosting ever. After the main installation and the deletion system is the maintenance system. Then again is the management system to keep the software up to the mark as it is promised in the Joomla hosting services. Some parts of the things it can do have still not been explained in detail for that would be just the discovery of the excellent things that this software can do. And that is what gives Joomla the importance it has. However if you notice, the thing about Joomla is that it is literally doing all the things of the forums, when it comes to all the basic task, Joomla has got it covered. And these same services are used not in the forums but in all the sites where such areas exist. That is the reason why today a lot of firms provide Joomla hosting services; some provide free hosting for Joomla while others provide cheap Joomla hosting packages that are affordable. However it is always a bargain and for those who truly want to analyze all its power I would strongly suggest that you use the dedicated Joomla hosting services, as then you will have the ease of all the technology that is being used on the server and you will also have all the bandwidth and space that you can possibly need to expand by the help of the best Joomla web hosting offers.

Choose Cheap and Stable Hosting Provider for Blogging - PART 2

November 23rd, 2009

View our proposal for cheap and stable full-featured web hosting provider

Monthly Transfer

Monthly transfer (sometimes loosely referred to as “traffic” or “bandwidth”) is the amount of bytes transferred from your site to visitors when they browse your site. If you go over the limit, then either you will have to be charged with an extra fee, or your website will not be available. The amount of bandwidth you use is obviously related to the amount of traffic (visitors) that you receive.

There are web hosting companies that offer Unlimited bandwidth. This sounds like a good deal. But bandwidth is a commodity that costs the web hosting company money - unlimited bandwidth is really impossible. So, some web hosting companies set a limitation to the CPU or memory your site can use per second, once it exceeds this number, your website will be temorarily unavailable. By this method, they can restrict the usage of bandwidth since more bandwidth usually means more CPU resource or memory resource.

Unlimited bandwidth feature is very common in the industry, so you can just enjoy it, but do put an eye on the stable of your site at the same time. If you get too much traffic and the site become unavailable, you should start thinking about upgrade your plan to an even powerful one (VPS or dedicated server). And a shared web hosting solution should work very well when you have less than 1000 unique IP/day (this is not a small number, your blog has to be within Alexa 100, 000 to reach it).

Reliability and Connection Speed

Reliability and connection speed are something you won’t know until you use their service. And this is too late.

So, you should only select the hosting companies which can guarantee its uptime. Look for a minimum of 99.9%.  Beside this, try to only select the hosting companies having money back guarnatee policy, by which your money can be refunded if you aren’t satisfied with their service.

Another resource you should look at is their customer reviews. There are many this type of web sites you can refer to. In webhostingclue.com, the best blog hosting are awarded based on the professional editor review and their customers feedback, those could be a right choice for you.

Support

There are 4 types of web hosting support, and almost all the web hosting companies will provide you with email support system, and online knowledge base. But we highly recommend you to sign up a hosting company with Online Live Chat support, by which you can get the support very quickly and explain your issues clearly. In most case, your issue will be resolved very soon.

Some companies will even provide 24*7 technical support, this is very nice as well.

Price

Price is always a factor, you should realize that you often get what you pay for, although it’s not necessarily true that the most expensive hosts are the best. A stable, fast, and 24*7 support server is more important than money.

Most web hosts allow you to select an annual or 2 years payment plan that gives you a cheaper rate than if you were to pay monthly. You might be worried about if you aren’t satisfied with the plan you purchase, what can you do. You need to check that whether the company provide the money back period so that you can request a refund if necessary.

Guide to Choosing a Reliable but Cheap Web Hosting

November 15th, 2009

‘World Wide Web’ is purely a brilliant place for sharing data. Those who intend to own a modest ‘web space’ must have a clear conception about the phrase ‘Web Hosting’.

The information that we view from the web browser is basically desplayed in a number of web pages. The computers that contain these web pages are known as Servers. Many people plan to host their sites themselves, but usually they find themselves fighting with numerous problems related to the right kind of software and hardware in order to host the web sites accordingly. Using a web hosting company that offers outstanding capabilities on its web server can save you from most of these problems.

Nowardays there has been a substantial elevation in the number of website hosting companies in Germany. When we are talking about choosing a web hosting providers, we usually realize in a fix with so many cheap web hosting companies available on the net.

There are a few types of cheap web hosting providers, but web hosting can be broadly divided into the next types:

* Virtual web hosting: It is also famous as ‘Shared Hosting’. As the name very well suggests, numerous sites share the same space on one or more physical servers.
* Dedicated web hosting: In contrast to Virtual website hosting, dedicated hosting allocates a particular web server that can be used only by a particular client. A dedicated web hosting company provides numerous benefits to the customer. The client can host even various sites from that specific server, modify the software configuration, modify the bandwidth and handle greater traffic on the website.
* Co-location Website hosting: In dedicated web hosting the customer rents the web server, which in most of the cases is held by the web hosting provider. But in co-location web site hosting the client can own the server and hence have a full control over it. The charges contrast depending upon the rack space and the monthly bandwidth.
* Reseller web hosting: In this type of website hosting, a web hosting company grants web server storage to the reseller (i.e. the third-party) at low cost rates, who then again resell this particular web server to a number of clients. To these customers, it is the reseller who works as the web host provider.

With no doubts, a website plays an essential function in building-up any business. Webhosting providers can easily be found on internet and you should go through the terms and features of their hosting packages before purchasing one of them. It is critical to note that cheap and reliable often do not go hand in hand, you must explore your hosting options in details.
