Most of the big companies opt for the dedicated server. Is there any specific reason for that?

One of the reasons Big companies choose to outsource dedicated servers is the availability of high powered networks from multiple providers. As dedicated server providers utilize massive amounts of bandwidth, they are able to secure lower volume based pricing to include a multi-provider blend of bandwidth.
To achieve the same type of network without a multi-provider blend of bandwidth, a large investment in core routers, long term contracts, and expensive monthly bills would need to be in place. The expenses needed to develop a network without a multi-provider blend of bandwidth does not make sense economically for hosting providers.

I am planning to move my site to cpwebhosting.net very soon as they seem to be reputed and reliable hosts. My only concern is will switching host providers have any effect on my site’s ranking in Google and other major search engines?

Switching hosts should not affect the site’s ranking as your content and link backs are the same even after you change your host.

If your site server location change then it might affect the google ranking.
for example If your site is UK based and it is hosted on US servers then it might affect the google ranking

My site is currently hosted on US servers, now i m planning to move my site to cpwebhosting.net servers and they are also US based host and their server are located at Atlanta(US). I have seen good reviews about them online and one of my friends also recommended cpwebhosting.net to me.

switching to new host will not affect your Google ranking.

What I will suggest you to ensure following things before switching to any new host :
* Ensure that the new web hosting plan you’ve chosen offers you the enough storage space to handle all of your current website storage requirements.
* Does your new web hosting plan offer you the same amount of email accounts, auto responders and mail forwards that you presently use?
* If you are making use of any scripts on your site, ensure that your new web hosting company supports all your scripts.
* Do you know how to properly upload your site files & data to the new server? If you don’t know perfectly, you’ll need to find out if your new web host’s technical support staff will upload your files for you. Some of them apply charges for doing so.
* Find out if your new hosting plan delivers you the same or more bandwidth that your current host provides. Don’t compromise in bandwidth or you may face problems.

Thanx Axe Solutions,

I have checked cpwebhosting.net services and find that it will be best for me.Now that it’s clear that switching hosts won’t affect the site’s rankings, I shall move to cpwebhosting.net soon

How most of the dedicated server hosting providers offer a 100% uptime guarantee on their network.

For providing the 99% uptime, dedicated server providers include a SLA (Service Level Agreement) based on network uptime.
By securing multiple vendors for connectivity and using redundant hardware, providers are able to guarantee higher uptimes; usually between 99-100% uptime if they are a higher quality provider.
One aspect of higher quality providers is they are mostly likely multi-homed across multiple quality uplink providers, which in turn, provides significant redundancy in the event one goes down in addition to potentially improved routes to destinations.

hi,
I want to host a stock image site so I need PHP 5 due to GDlib, but I’m having difficulties finding a hosting service that offer PHP 5.does anyone know of a good hosting company that offer PHP 5?

Most hosting companies offer PHP but simply don’t advertise it. When you find a host that you like, look at the specifications of the hosting plan to find whether or not they offer PHP 5.

cpwebhosting.net offer PHP5 with their all web hosting plans

hello,
I’m looking to host some domains for that i want a new web hosting account. I’m wondering if shared hosting with add on domains or reseller will be better for me.Each domain name will have some subdomains, a few mysql databases and an email address. Can I do this with add-on domains? Any disadvantages for this?

U can use addon domains
I’m using 1 hosting account to host multiple domains.

if you are going to offer hosting to others then choose Reseller web hosting plan.

cpwebhosting.net allow Unlimited SubDomain with all shared hosting plans

one advantage to having domain addons are that you have the ability to manage both the main domain name and the addons with one single control panel.

If each domain will likely belong to separate customers then choose cpwebhosting.net Reseller web hosting plan

As you all probably know, bandwidth is one of the most important things when it comes to selecting a shared web host. just wondering how i would decide how much bandwidth i need?

Bandwidth is kind of hard to compute really, because as a webmaster you would like as many visitors as you can, right? Especially if you are into selling stuff. There are a lot of website statistics checker out there.

Take the total size of the page (including the images) and multiply it by the amount of hits you expect. That will give you a general estimate. The actual number should be lower if the images are cached (a user visit again your website) to the users browser.

When you are calculating the bandwidth necessary for your website, you need to know some things such as: how much data will be sent, and whether or not you will be needing more in the near future.

thanks for reply
After a small research i found that 99% of Small sites don’t even use 1GB

Hello,
I want to start my own forum site, but dont know where to start. I’m not sure of what host to use . Can anyone help me please?

If you are going to start a forum, you will not need much space and bandwidth for a while… so i recommend to search for a small plan in a web hosting provider that you can upgrade your plan as you need it.

Buy a web hosting plan from cpwebhosting.net, there u found the software for forum.

Is there a way to check the other web sites that are on the same server as my?
I have a couple of sites that are just consistently slower than the rest and I’d like to see who I’m sharing space with.

Yes,whois.sc offers a service that show sites being hosted (as well as parked domains) on the same server.

I think the best way you could actually get that to happen is if you contact yout host and see if they are allowed to tell you.

you can request your web host to change your server because you are paying for it

i have seen many offers such like “get unlimited space with unlimited bandwidth for only $$” , i am thinking that how it can be possible, theres nothing unlimited in this universe, if there is no unlimited hard disk storage then how is there any unlimited bandwidth.. ? any one may correct me…

Be aware of them, I will prefer not to buy even something else other than webhosting from such company, it is just a marketing trick.

It is just another way of convincing new customers ?

you are right that there is no such unlimited thing. Bandwidth and web space can never be unlimited. Hosts which lie such like that have usually written the amount of bandwidth limit in their TOS.

Dont be fooled by such offers, they are completely nonsense.

Yes, There are usually restrictions in the terms fo service also so they can cancel your site if you actually start using alot of bandwith, they also usually set max filesize limits.

They full us

There is no host with Unlimited bandwidth.

There’s no such thing, you’re simply hanging on to an unknown upper limit of data transfer.

Don’t ever believe anyone hyping unlimited anything. There are always some other practical limitations that prevent you from ever taking them up on their offer.

Thanks for your suggestions

hi,
cpwebhosting.net allow to host Unlimited Domain in their Shared hosting plan.This means that I can host all of my websites in single web hosting account then you should I choose a reseller plan.

If all your sites require its own control panel then a reseller plan would suit you better as it would give you more control, most typically don’t so shared hosting works.

Reseller hosting is a form of web hosting wherein the account owner may split up their allotted hard drive space and bandwidth and resell web hosting.

If u dont want different different control panel for different site then cpwebhosting.net Shared web hosting plan will be best for u.
