You should know how to set up a WWW server* software on your computer. It’s a software which allows Internet users to see websites located on your hard drive. Examples of such software are Apache, Microsoft Peer Web Services and Microsoft Internet Information Server.

Your Internet service provider may not allow you to run web sites on your home computer. You should check with your ISP if this is allowed. It might be required to upgrade to most expensive plan.
Your computer will have to be always on. Each time you turn if off or reboot, your web site will become unavailable until the computer is running again.
Your page will load slowly. Home Internet connections are not intended for serving web pages, so your page will load much slower on visitors’ computers than if it were hosted by a hosting company.

Bandwidth is the amount of data your website visitors can download from your website.

You can calculate your bandwidth requirements basing on how big your pages are, and how much people you expect to visit your website.
When your website exceeds its monthly bandwidth limit, you will need to buy more bandwidth.Therefore you must judiciously use your bandwidth.
Do not go for that hosting company to book your website which offers too low bandwidth. Avoid to choose those plans which offers minimum bandwidth.
But Some hosting companies offer so-called “unlimited” or “unmetered” bandwidth. This means that they do not limit your bandwidth at all. This way you don’t need to worry about exceeding the monthly limit.

Dont’s of website


What should we not do while designing our websites which can create hazards to our website’s??

Don’t make your file sizes too big:

The longer it takes a page to load the less people will go to those pages. On the internet peoples attention span is calculated in seconds not minutes. Make sure all pages including images are under 50K unless absolutely necessary.

Watch the use of background images

If you have a busy background it takes away from the content and the purpose of the page itself. Unless the background is the purpose use shuttle background images and colors.

Watch your color schemes

Even though yellow and black are said to be the most opposite in contrast I have yet to see a site that looks good with a black background and yellow lettering. In my opinion try to stick with what works, black on white(or light grey). You can play with this but look at other sites and see what they are doing. All in all make sure the content is legible.

Use of animation

I see so many sites using extravagant animations, all this does is take away for the content of the page. If you use an animation keep it short and have it stop after the first time it runs.

Don’t use the latest new browser features

That browser may have a key feature but if it is the only browser that has it a good portion of you viewers won’t be able to use it. Normally new features can be quite glitchy which can turns customers off your site.

Watch the height of your pages

90% of pages don’t get scrolled so if you do have to have a long page use inline links at the top so that it is easier for your customers to view what they are looking for.

Make it easy to find anything

Try to make it possible for your viewers to get anywhere in your site in 3 clicks or less.

Most web surfers are normal people that aren’t gurus on the internet. You need to make sure that you point them where they want to go. If you have 50 links on the front page they won’t know where to start. Keep it simple for them, point them where to go.
Put your contact information everywhere

Sometimes the most annoying part of a site is trying to find out how to get a hold of them. if you want to loose customer this is a quick way to do it, so don’t. Make sure your customers can get hold of you.

Your content must be relevant to your site. you should not add up content that has nothing to do with your website or that does not suits to the title.Do not mess too many things with your website,make it simple and easy to understand.

The information that you give must be accurate. Part of the reason that you’re adding content to your site is to add to your reputation as a knowledgeable person in your field so if your information isn’t accurate then you don’t look like you know what you’re doing.
Well atleast some content or article of your website should be free to read so that people may know about your website and services.
Your content should be aesthetic and should be written in attractive language.Do not use old words in your content.Add fresh words.

Name servers are the Internet’s equivalent to phone books. A name server maintains a directory of domain names that match certain IP addresses (computers).

Beat spam


Friends at Reseller Hosting, Dedicated Hosting, Shared Hosting plans – CPWebHosting please tell me how to overcome with the problem of spams?How to beat them?
__________________

Well u can regularly monitor all your uploaded files and folders.You should not open those websites which are of high risks to spams.Be firm but rational. Remember, your customers may not be savvy about spam; they could have left their accounts open to someone else to use.

Education is key to both your staff and customers. Keep up with the trends and technology spammers use. Teach your staff what to look for in new customers and why you do it. Set firm policies about using company email such as restricting use for business use only.
Check customer IP’s and domains against blacklists or search in Google or Google Groups. If a domain is not registered, be cautious. When checking up customers, remember to look out for address or telephone number match also.
If you currently have instant account activation, you may want to review how effective it is for your business. Spammers love this because they can quickly set up an account, send thousands of spam and be on their way again. By the time you find out, the damage has been done. By all means have a quick and easy account activation procedure but work in a manual approval step.
Have SMTP authentication turned on and ensure your servers are not used as open relays. If you have form mail scripts for customer use, make sure you are using a secure one.

Sql web hosting


What is sql web hosting??
__________________

SQL Web Hosting is a service provided by a company that leases server space to companies or individuals that have web pages they want to display on the internet. Web hosts provide the necessary bandwidth and technology to allow internet users to access these web pages. While anyone can create a web page, special servers dedicated to internet connectivity and hosting are required to make the web page active.
SQL web hosting is a service that allows SQL databases to be hosted on the internet. SQL web hosting can be used to store database information on the web, allow offsite personal to access database management tools and provide detailed information to customers or clients.
Typical applications that use SQL databases are ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and CRM (Customer Relationship Management) programs.
Typically, database applications take up a lot of memory and server space. SQL web hosting services provide additional space and memory for your database so that you may run applications without shortage of these things.
Because SQL web hosting services are dedicated to database hosting, they generally have the ability to offer advanced administration services to keep your database running smoothly and at optimum performance.
If you’re new to SQL, many SQL web hosting services provide technical assistance and design packages for an additional cost when you purchase web hosting.

Free hosting


There are many free web hosting companies are available but it is also recommended that we should avoid using these free web hosting services.Friends at cpwebhosting.net please tell me why is it so?

Most free web hosting services require ads to be shown in various places on your web pages. This is typically their only source of revenue, so it is normally required in exchange for their free service.

Most free web hosting services cannot budget for a support staff so if your site goes down or you have questions you’re out of luck.
If you expect a decent amount of traffic to your site, you’d better make sure you have the neccessary server capacity, response time, and bandwidth speed that most web users require. Don’t expect a free web host to provide this.

Most free web hosts will allow you around only 10MB or so. While this may be sufficient for smaller sites, you will not have much opportunity for growth.
Some free web hosts will not allow you to sell add space on your website.
Some free web hosting services have severe restrictions on what can and cannot be displayed on websites.
Most good websites nowadays employ some form of dynamic scripting. Many free web hosts do not support some of the newer dynamic web technologies such as PHP, ASP, Perl, MySQL, etc… while paid web hosts will normally bend over backwards to not only support these technologies, but provide customer support for configuring and using these technologies.
Some free web hosts make money by spamming you with e-mail advertisements or selling your contact information to other sources.

Collocation hosting


Friend at cpwebhosting.net please give me some tips while choosing collocation companies for web hosting?

Do they specialize in it? Many do not and therefore have other solutions to concentrate on as well. Your goal is to find the right balance of expertise and price.
Make sure to look at monthly prices as well as quarterly and yearly. You may save money going with the longer option but if you don’t plan to use the service that long, then think again.
Make yourself clear about companies policies and offers.Agree to their terms and conditions only if you find yourself comfortable otherwise dont agree.
