You receive a server with only one IP address. If it is allowed by the plan you signed up with, you can always send requests for additional IPs from your cp. To send a request for an extra range of IPs:

 Cpwebhosting.net use a complete bare metal recovery solution that allows us to recover our servers as well as those of our clients in less then 30 minutes from a completed server crash.

I think RAID1 is enough and never use any other form of backup. Even RAID5 would be better than RAID1, but both are prone to hackers defacing data. An actual backup somewhere else would allow you to restore data after a server compromise.

What are the advantages and the disadvantages between Colocation & Dedicated hosting in your opinion.which you like better and which to choose?

The difference in that a dedi is served by the host unlike the colo. And host pays the the employees of the datacenter for its serving (in case of breaking something). If something has broken in the colo you have to go to the datacenter and repair it yourself.

You choose colocation if you would like to have more flexibility in managing your server not only in terms of software but even in hardware. This is applicable if you would like to upgrade or attach peripherals to your server.

With colocation, you do own your hardware, but remember… that also means you will be responsible for any failures. If you rent a dedicated server, your provider will take care of any costs for you.

Colocation means you provide your own server and can configure it any way you want, but ultimately makes you responsible for your hardware and any failures. Also unless you pay for management you need to know how to run your own server and do things like backups and configurations of OS and things like that.

Usually you are better off with a Dedicated Server or VPS unless you have vast experience and can manage your own server and it’s hardware.

Dedicated is renting a server, where the host provides all the hardware, connections to the net, and so on. Colo means you go out and buy a server and pay the colo provider to lease space in a rack in their data center, and hook your box up to the net.

Now mostly peoples purchase VPS’ instead of dedicated servers so What will be the future of the dedicated servers market.

 The resources are limited in a VPS as compared to a Dedicated server so for those who need more resources will definitely opt a dedicated server.

I don’t think that VPs will fully replace dedicated servers

I think Dedicated Servers are here to stay. Although isolated, with a VPS you are basically sharing the resources of a single dedicated server between all of the VPSs hosted on it.

I think VPS is a good option for the person not completely ready for the dedicated server

From studying hosting packages offered by a number of companies, I can figure out that VPS isn’t really popular, as the majority of hosts offer shared-reseller-dedicated plans

I think dedicated servers are here to stay, but as we all know they are getting more and more powerful and the market is FULL of people selling them, so its getting to the point where companies have to be creative to find a niche in the market.

VPS are cheaper then Dedicated server and gives you the features and functionality of a dedicated server.

I don’t think that VPs will fully replace dedicated servers because There will always be people looking for their own physical machine, versus having VPS…

There is a natural progression of resource requirements in hosting. Starting with shared hosting, VPS, then on to dedicated servers and capping at clusters. As a websites popularity grows it will inevitably require more CPU/RAM/Disk. Along with increased popularity comes the increased desire for the ever elusive 100% uptime which is only realistic with clusters.

Major types of colocation customers are:

My preference is

I think .ca names the best for investment percentage wise. You still register pretty good names that will bring you 300% percent guaranteed during next 2 years

I personally think that .IN (country code for India) has potential ,Reasons for my view? (1) wide use of English; (2) growing economy and large proportion of tech savvy; (3) clear rules on access to registration and selling by folks outside the country; and (4) nice, short, pronounceable extension.

.com is leading from all extension.

.com could never be replaced as it is branded as the default internet address extension around the world. If you are using another extension other then .com, no matter how much you spend on branding your address with your extension, you will still be loosing visitors if you do not have the .com version.

As a traffic collector/seller I dont care about .ext and I register any extension domains which can bring traffic/revenue. So some predictions about possible traffic/revenue a domain can give are more important for me than just investing in .ext itself.

.com is a good investment obviously.

After .com .cn and .in are also excellent investments considering their 1 billion+ populations each and the number of people using the internet in each of those countries is rising rapidly. I think .cc is one of the worst investments and the more extensions that come out the more it will decrease its value.

I find .com is the most valuable TLD. I think no one can really doubt that.

I think .info and .biz have a good future. They are generally the next best top level domains after .com, .net, .org. Once those three are taken then the info and biz are next best if you want to promote worldwide, and they are usually shown in the results anywhere you reg domains, so they are visible. Or, you can also use your own country tld.

The value of .info is certainly going to rise in the near future there’s no doubt about it, while the value of .biz will rise as the availability of other TLDs for commercial purposes is declining but it may take a few more years

For information sites .info is obviously the one, there have been multiple $x,xxx sales although things seem to have dried up of late.

The .biz extension I do not see, for a start their is a .bz extension (Belize) and with the correct marketing that could take a lot of any potential traffic from the .biz suffix.

I think if anyone of you owns a lot of .biz and .info…domains… you should put some of them to use as developed websites. A developed website beats out any parking plan anyday…however the reason I’m saying this is …for example…

I read somewhere that only about 30% of .biz tlds are developed as proper websites as compared to about 80% of .com tld and also high figures for .net tld.

The current view is that .biz is a less desirable .tld and one of the reasons is people think its a speculative tld….and not mainstream… so there you go. Most people may not know it exists.

I personally don’t like the idea of using various cc tlds to make up words, like .es, .is, .se. I’d rather own those domains with good words in the language of the country. I mean, what is the market for a chopped up word in an extension most people aren’t familiar with? Sure, there’s a few exceptions but far from widespread use. If you are ragging names like that I would say it’s highly speculative.
