How to measure uptime of a web host ??

Usually a Web hosts uptime guarantee is based on a monthly uptime figure

Most hosting guarantee more than 99.9% uptime, Remain probability of 0.1% maybe occasionally downtime, such as Http_client.No_reply.

Free web hosting Facilities

It’s for free. You don’t need to pay for domain name.

Free web hosting Limitations

Your URL will be something like http://merchant.cpwebhosting.com or http://www.cpwebhosting.com/merchant.
As I noticed above, the advantage is that you don’t need to pay for domain. But note that if you move your website to another provider in the future you can loose some or all your traffic.

Your provider will probably include ads to your pages – usually 1 or 2 banners, sometimes popup windows. If you plan to use banner exchange on your site read carefully their Terms and conditions. Some free hosts doesn’t allow it.
Free hosts usually allow lower bandwith then paid hosts and a lot of them don’t offer futures like PHP and MySQL.
A lot of free hosts change their Terms and conditions during some time. If your free host offers hosting without ads now, don’t be surprised when banner or popup appears on your site in the future.

Paid web hosting Facilities
You can host your own domain. If you decide to change the web hosting provider in the future, you easily transfer the domain to the new provider and don’t loose your traffic.
Most paid hosts offer 24/7 support via email or live chat and some of them provide toll-free phone support.
You can expect better uptime then on free host. Some paid hosts offer uptime guarantee.
Paid hosts usually offer enough disk space and bandwith. Futures like PHP and MySQL are standard. Even if you are not programmer you can download plenty of free PHP scripts from internet.

hi,
Is there a way to host multiple sites with multiple domains to directories on one host.

I mean

Host with folders
dvd is one site
cd’s is one site
games is one site.

If your hosting company allows and has enabled it you can. It goes by various names. Addon domain is the cPanel name for this.

yes’! There are two methods to do that.

1st method:
You buy a plan hosting –> (in H-sphere) click Add-on –> enter new domain which you wanna create (you must rename domain nameserver before to do), enter directory (domain will associate with) -> [Add]
And your services will create a directory for your domain.
2nd method:

– Create directory
– Add domain to your account
– Go to site manager -> select directory -> select domain associate with
– Finish

cpwebhosting.net web hosting service support this feature.

My hosting account has run out with a hosting company and as I am not pleased with their service I would like to have my website hosted with cpwebhosting.net . Is this easy to do? What would I need from my old hosting company to move to a new one?

Thanks in advance for any help.

follow the steps

Step:
– Come to the old: backup database (download back to localhost)
– Download all files into a directory or in localhost folder
– Come to the new: create new database -> import SQL
– Upload all files into root directory.
– Change nameservers in domain cpanel if you buy domain with outside hosting service company. Or transfer your domain name if you buy domain and hosting with the same company.
– Terminate contract with old service -> Finish.

It depends on the construction of your website (e.g. static HTML, database driven etc.).

static HTML (or otherwise non-database driven) website

1. Download all files from your old hosting company (e.g. via FTP)
2. Ensure all emails are downloaded from the server (e.g. if you just access via webmail, they’ll all be stored on the server, and will be lost when you close your account with the old web host)
3. Select an appropriate hosting provider offering whatever scripting features etc. you require
4. Upload your files (downloaded in step 1) to your new hosting provider
5. Re-create any mailbox(es) etc. that you wish to use with your domain
6. Change the nameservers for your domain to those provided by the new hosting provider – then wait (up to 72 hours) for DNS propagation to complete so that your domain correctly points to your new hosting provider’s server instead of your old one
7. Cancel the hosting service with your old hosting provider

Database driven website

1. Download all files from your old hosting company (e.g. via FTP)
2. Create a backup of the database(s) required for your website (e.g. via phpMyAdmin) – if the database(s) is large then you will need to ask your old hosting company to create a backup for you via shell.
3. (optional)Disable the database driven parts of your website (e.g. turn the forums off) to avoid any changes to the database – any more changes will not be included in the database backup that you just created when you restore it to the new hosting service
4. Ensure all emails are downloaded from the server (e.g. if you just access via webmail, they’ll all be stored on the server, and will be lost when you close your account with the old web host)
5. Select an appropriate hosting provider offering whatever scripting features etc. you require
6. Upload your files (downloaded in step 1) to your new hosting provider
7. Re-create the database(s) using the backup(s) taken in step 2 (e.g. via phpMyAdmin) – if the database(s) is large then you will need to ask your new hosting provider to restore the backup(s) for you via shell.
8. Re-create any mailbox(es) etc. that you wish to use with your domain
9. Change the nameservers for your domain to those provided by the new hosting provider – then wait (up to 72 hours) for DNS propagation to complete so that your domain correctly points to your new hosting provider’s server instead of your old one
10. Cancel the hosting service with your old hosting provider

Hi,

Which type of hosting I can choose for hosting my site which is in ASP.net ?

You need to choose windows hostnig. ASP(Active Server Pages) is a server-side (processed by the server) technology for building web sites and is an integral feature of Windows. Active Server Pages are HTML web pages with embedded ASP scripts that reside on the Windows web server before the page is sent to the user.

When you enable the Anonymous FTP access, a special directory is automatically created in your root directory. This directory can be accessed by all Internet users to view and download its content by FTP.

Anonymous FTP becomes available only after you create a Virtual FTP server. You can enable or disable Anonymous FTP access either from the FTP page or from the Virtual FTP Host page by clicking the ON/OFF button in the Anonymous FTP
section.
If you want anonymous FTP users to upload files, you have to enable Anonymous FTP Upload Facilities by clicking the ON/OFF button. NOTE: This section will appear on the Virtual FTP Host page only after you have activated Anonymous FTP. When you enable Anonymous FTP Upload Facilities, a special directory is automatically created in the Anonymous FTP directory.

Thankyou for this Axe Solutions, I had no idea that the ANONYMOUS FTP waas accessible by anyone…

What are the commonly uses of CRON ? Can these automate some of the routinary tasks like file backup?

Cron jobs are commonly used to schedule commands that should be executed periodically for a certain time.

I know that a lot of people use it to connect to the internet and download email.

I don’t necessarily have any horrible experiences with any hosting service, but I am interested in anybody else that has had such. I have heard a lot of horror stories from other people that have said that they were extrememly overbilled, but that’s usually the extent.

What about yours?

I personally do not have one either. But having worked with hosting companies for a number of years, I find that most people are dis-satisfied because of a number of reasons. They are not getting the service they hoped for. They are not aware of what their package included or did not include. They are being billed for additional traffic that was not included in the package they bought. There are so many things. Then you may just have that you did not know any better (you can get services for less than you are currently paying).
