What is IMAP Email?

IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. IMAP is a standard protocol for sending and receiving email.

The emails are received and held on your internet server until you pick it up with a client email program, like Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger, etc.

IMAP represents an improvement over POP because email stored on an IMAP server can be manipulated from several computers (a computer at home, a workstation at the office, etc.) without having to transfer messages back and forth between computers. POP was designed to support email access on a single computer.

Is there any difference between Windows Hosting, Unix Hosting and Linux Hosting?

Well, this is meant that web services are running on which type of Operating System.
If hosting services are running on Windows then it is called as Windows Hosting. You should choose Windows hosting if you plan to use ASP (Active Server Pages) as server scripting, or if you plan to use a database like Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL Server. Windows hosting is also the best choice if you plan to develop your web site using Microsoft Front Page.
If hosting of web services runs on the Unix operating system then, it is called as Unix Hosting. Unix was the first (original) web server operating system, and it is known for being reliable and stable. Often less expensive than Windows.
If hosting of web services that runs on the Linux operating system then it is called as Linux Hosting.

Cpwebhosting.net does not provide free web hosting, otherwise it is best suited for small sites with low traffic like family sites or sites about hobbies.

It is not recommended for high traffic or for real business. Technical support is often limited, and technical options are few.

Very often you cannot use your own domain name at a free site. You have to use a name provided by your host like http://www.usa-webhosts/users/~yoursite.htm. This is hard to type, hard to remember, and not very professional.
You can say it if good, if you are going to host the sites like family, hobby or personal sites, as they will be low cost or almost free. But, I will not call any of them as your own personal, they will all be on the mercy and the restrictions of the free hosting provider.
These free hosting sites, would not be having no real domain name, few or limited real options which is on the will be hosting provider, limited security options- how would you be able to control the free hosting provider by not putting any of the paid advertisements on your site, limited or no database support – that is very much obvious – how much resources you can use when they are free, limited technical support- who want the botheration for the free services – You will agree with me that no-one.

When you choose shared or virtual hosting like cpwebhosting.net make sure that:

* The hosting type suits your current needs
* The hosting type is cost effective
* Upgrading to a better server is a possible solution
* If needed, upgrading to a dedicated server is possible
which cpwebhosting.net does offers.

Can you share with me what is shared or virtual hosting? what are its pros and cons?

Shared hosting is very common, and very cost effective.

With shared hosting, your web site is hosted on a powerful server along with maybe 100 other web sites. On a shared host it is common that each web site have their own domain name.

Shared solutions often offer multiple software solutions like email, database, and many different editing options. Technical support tends to be good.

Pros –
1. Low cost. Cost is shared with others.
2. Good for small business and average traffic.
3. Multiple software options.
4. Own domain name.
5. Good Support

Cons –
1. Reduced security due to many sites on one server.
2. Restrictions on traffic volume.
3. Restricted database support.
4. Restricted software support.

But, I will say, the restrictions, which are shown in the cons are negligible, as the resources provided by the cpwebhosting.net are sufficient.

what is SSL and what is difference between Private SSL and shared SSl

SSL is called as Secure Sockets Layer which are protocols which provides secure and safe communications such as emails,internet faxing, transactions, browsing and other data transfers.

In Private SSL you need to have a SSL certificate to have a dedicated IP address to run SSL server on. With private SSL you get a secure URL in which hosting company name is not included.

1. Shared SSL : Installed on server’s shared IP. It can be accessed as https://server-name/~your-username

2. Private SSL : Installed on Dedicated IP for client . It can be accessed as https://your-domainname .

hi,
How do I see my site statistics and traffic?

The Site Statistics can be a very powerful tool. You can view all statistics related to your site from the main login screen. You simply select the magnifying glass next to your domain name for traffic.

With the Xpressia interface you will see similar options for traffic details. You will need to select stats image from the control panel.

Once Selected, you will need to make sure the statistic tool type is turned on (depending on which server you are on you may see different names here, all are related to statistics). The default is turned off, so you may need to enable it first. Please note that you will only see statistics gathered from the time you turn this feature on.

From this point you can then select the image to view the statistics. NOTE: if you activate this feature, please give it some time to start gathering the data. If you select this option right away, you will see an error page. Once data has been collected, you will be able to see the statistics by selecting this icon in this area.
If you are using a similar interface, you can simply select the same images icon beside the “traffic details” button on the main view for your domain when you login to your control panel.

The second view you receive will present you with the same type of icon. Since the system can support multiple statistics engines, each will be displayed here. Select the one you like for a detailed view of your statistics which will be displayed in a separate browser window.

If you do not have your site open, or know that there has not been any web traffic to the site, the system will automatically send you to your domain, should the current traffic status be nil.

What is Domain Parking? anyone can explain me.

When you park a domain, your domain name registrar will place a “coming soon” page on your domain name. If anyone types in your domain name, they will typically see a notice that your site is coming soon. Some registrars may also place ads, or notices about services they have available.
