Should you spend some money to get a web hosting solution for your business or get one for free?

If you are setting up a website for business, a free web host is definitely something you will not consider hosting your website with. Free web hosts has many limitations, space, bandwidth, uptime.

As its free, Advertisements often infest your website which would make potential customers never return due to the unprofessional layout.

Cookies were originally designed to enable a server to save information


Cookies were originally designed to enable a server to save information on the client’s disk. When the client contacted that same host at a later time, the previously saved cookie would be sent back to the server
Cookies are therefore useful if a browser connection is interrupted and you want to pick up where you left off. They are also useful in the event the server crashes and later wants to pick up where it left off. Cookies are now available for general use in JavaScript.

Although servers can write named cookies one at a time


Although servers can write named cookies one at a time, JavaScript cannot. You can set an individual named cookie with the statement, document.cookie=’cookiename=xxxx’, but when you retrieve document.cookie, you get a string consisting of all of the cookies.
Currently, the only way to retrieve an individual cookie is to search through the entire set of cookies obtained from document.cookie. Consequently, it helps to add a prefix or suffix to the names of your cookies with little-used characters. This makes them easy to find with IndexOf().

The path=PATH parameter is used to limit the search path of a server


The path=PATH parameter is used to limit the search path of a server that can see your cookies.
This is analogous to specifying a document BASE in an HTML document. If you use a slash (/), then everything in the domain can use your cookies.

The function makeYearExpDate() enables you to set the expiration date


The function makeYearExpDate() enables you to set the expiration date for several years in the future. It was designed for really persistent cookies. If you want a shorter time, you can easily modify this routine. Note that this function uses the Date object heavily.
The static method, Date.getTime(), returns a neatly formatted date string, while the method, Date.toGMTime(), returns the date converted to Greenwich Mean Time, which is what the cookie expiration mechanism expects your cookies to contain.

“Unlimited bandwidth”- What is your opinion?


Bandwidth is the measurement of the amount of data transmitted over an internet connection in a given time. The majority of web hosting companies will set monthly limits but some web host says they provides “Unlimited bandwidth”.
What is your opinion?

Any web hosting company claiming “Unlimited Bandwidth” is simply lying. There’s no such thing as “Unlimited Bandwidth”

In the real world, we’ve never seen any broadband company offering an internet connection as “Unlimited Megabytes Per Second.” So, how could a web hosting company, which normally doesn’t even own its own access lines, claims to customers that it will give them “Unlimited Bandwidth”?

There are a lot of ways you can be duped by these ‘ unlimited’ hosts; here are just a few of them:

1. The secret of ‘unlimited’ is actually buried in the Terms of Service by the host. Do not be surprised to find that unlimited only equals 900mb or so .

2. The host may restrict the sort of files that you can host on their server. Generally image galleries and audio/video files attract a lot more downloads thereby resulting in higher bandwidth consumption. So if there are no files of this type, your site won’t really require a lot of bandwidth.

In short: Website Hosting Companies offering “Unlimited Bandwidth” to attract customers need to be avoided

Unlimited is a marketing trick to get your business.

Remember it is impossible for any provider to actually provide an unlimited amount of bandwidth or disk space.

The function fixSep() escapes any semicolons that your variables might have


The function fixSep() escapes any semicolons that your variables might have. It is highly undesirable to store semicolons in the cookie parameters because the semicolon is the parameter separator.
You could, in fact, escape all the non-alphanumeric characters in the entire string. However, this would make it difficult to read, especially if you simply want to look at the cookie.

Frames are one of the most important new features to be added to HTML


Frames are one of the most important new features to be added to HTML. Frames allow multiple subwindows-or panes-in a single Web page. This gives you the opportunity to display several URLs at the same time, on the same Web page.
It also allows you to keep part of the screen constant while other parts are updated. This is ideal for many Web applications that span multiple pages, but also have a constant portion.

One of the most important, and most confusing, aspects of frames is


One of the most important, and most confusing, aspects of frames is the parent/child relationships of frames, framesets, and the windows that contain them. The first frameset placed in a window has that window as its parent.
A frameset also can host another frameset, in which case the initial frameset is the parent. Note that a top-level frameset itself is not named, but a frameset’s child frames can be named. Frames can be referred to by name or as an index of the frames array.

Frames are a sophisticated way to build Web pages


Frames are a sophisticated way to build Web pages; you can keep your menu in one frame and display your content in another.
However, it is easy to go overboard and have too many frames. If you present too much information in several different small frames, the user will probably be scrolling quite often.
