hosting a blog contest in online strategy?


Contests are nothing new in the online world. People have been using contests to get free web traffic for years. But how can they blogged,the question is this?

There is a slightly new change since the blog revolution that has made running a contest much more effective and fun for bloggers. The concept is the same, but it allows for more interaction.

We can come up with a prize that would be inviting to our blog readers. The prizes will make or break our contest. If we have nothing that people want, they won’t play to win. So,it should be good enough.

Before starting thinking that this will cost us money. Of course, offering our own product or service as the prize would be preferable since it’s free and we can promote our link on our blog.

If we don’t have our own products, we can easily ask around and find people who will donate prizes. Why would they donate? Because they’d include a link to them in our contest – and we already know that our contest is going to get a lot of traffic, so they’d be not able to say “no”.

we can get prizes that are digital , services , or actual products (like makeup or candles). We can even offer gift, certificates or cash.

We have many options for how to run our contest. Here are just a few ideas:
Ask our readers to post a comment to win. All they have to do is comment. Anything like “I want to win” to “Nice blog” could count.

Some bloggers ask their readers to post why they should win and they give the prize to the best response. Asking “Tell me why you should win” can certainly get people talking, especially if we have a really good prize.
If we’re giving away money, we can ask “Tell me what we’d do with the money” and reward the person with the best answer with the cash.

Ask the readers to post a story or question. we’re in charge, so have fun with it!
If we want to get to know our readers,we can ask them to complete a survey to win. Sometimes running an anonymous survey can work to our benefit in getting more honest responses from people who might not feel comfortable emailing or posting their thoughts on our blog.This idea generates a better way of communication with them.

If our readers are bloggers themselves, ask them to blog about our contest their and then comment to let us know they did it. Obviously this is highly desirable, as we’d get many links to our contest – through many other bloggers talking about us and much more exposure.

Immediately after we post our contest to our blog, send a mailing to each of our ezine lists, letting them know about the contest. we’ll certainly want our loyal readers to have the opportunity to win.

Our circle of influence and let them know about our contest. Offer to do a blog post swap. If they’ll blog about our contest, we’ll take them the next time they have something they want to spread the word about.

After go and submit our contest to the contest websites. There are sites that list contests and free offers. This is obviously more effective in certain niches than in others, but it is free exposure to our contest either way.

if we really want good mileage for our contest,we can also post on message boards in our niche with the signature pointing to our contest.
Blog contests are a great way to network with others and they’re a fun way to draw attention to our blog.

what are hosts?


Many of us browse the World Wide Web regularly and like many of others have done already, then web hosting is one term which can satiate your need.So question is this what are these hosts?

Internet is one word which can cater to all kind of genre as per their taste. And, by web hosting one can own a portion of the web. But, web hosting is not just getting a portion of the web it is a way to re polishing the business.

World Wide Web or the www written before every web address is the web of computers connected through a HTTP protocol. This network connects millions of computers all over the world through this single protocol. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a language through which the documents are transferred.Which is main way to connect thing globally.

HTTP is a network of networks, where computers communicate with protocols other than HTTP. Web page is what we see on our Internet browser. These web pages have to come from a certain host and this is the area which talks about web hosting.

Web pages are our source of information, whatever we see in our web pages has come from a web browser. All these web pages are stored in computers called web server.

de own websites accessible through the World Wide Web. Web hosting gives the freedom of having our website services but it’s restricted because of the space.

One importance to have proper hardware and software to host web pages. Specific companies provide web hosting capabilities on their web servers. Moreover, one needs to register a domain name that identifies the website. Web hosts can also provide data centre space and connectivity to the internet.Now we can consider the type of hostings-
Free Web Hosting: it is done by large website companies, which provide limited space for free. This kind of hosting is limited when compared to paid hosting.

# Shared Web Hosting: This is the most economical hosting service where many people share the total cost of maintenance services.It is very much effective in cost.
# Reseller Web Hosting: This service allows the client to host websites. This requires an affiliation with the provider.

Some kind of hostings are:
# Virtual Dedicated Server: This is dividing a server into virtual servers. Every user thinks he got a dedicated server but in real they all share a particular server.
# Dedicated Hosting: In this the user gets his web server and has full control over the server.

More kind of hostings:
* Collocation Web Hosting: This is similar to dedicated hosting but in Collocation, the hosting company provides physical space. This is the most powerful and costly web hosting service.
* Clustered Hosting: In this service multiple servers host the same content for resource utilization.

Is windows is better than linux hosting?


Even if we run a version of Windows on our personal computer, does not mean we need to host our web site on Windows platform.does it require windows hosting or other kind of operating hosting?

The operating system we use to create our site has no effect on the web hosting platform we choose to host our site. Even we can host a website created using Microsoft Frontpage on a linux server as frontpage extensions are supported by linux.

The Linux platform is widely named as highly reliable, and a more popular choice among professional and advanced users. Linux has a good track record of performance, stability and security.

It has been in a state of constant filtering since its inception , and is based on open standards, allowing easy access to operating system features and applications.At the same time vary much secure.

Linux is by default, text-based and does not use a graphical user interface (GUI), which matters alot because it can dedicate the full power of the server to our web site.

The main advantages of the linux is the:
# Most web creation tutorials and documentation refer to this platform
# Extremely stable, reliable, functional, and dynamic
# Easy to upgrade and enhanceable
# Access to freeware

Some more benefits of the linux is:
# Scripting languages such as Perl and PHP
# Supports mySQL, postgre databases
# Supports MS FrontPage extensions
# Most economical solution

Windows is the operating system of choice because many new users with a reputation for ease of use and administration. Windows allows those with little or no experience in the fields of web development and hosting to get advanced features working quickly.This has a very much user friendly enviorment.

At the same time Windows supports tools and software such as Microsoft’s FrontPage, Active Server Pages, Visual Interdev, Access Database, MS SQL 2000, VBScript and MS Internet Studio.

We can create a powerful customized site which includes dynamic content and database integration. The Windows environment also offers dynamically and a user friendly graphical user interface.Which is so much important as the user’s view.

unlimited bandwidth


The network lines that carry data around the web have a finite capacity. There is a any limit to the amount of data that can be transferred at any point in time.So bandwidth can play an important role?

The hard drive of a web server has a limited amount of space determined by the physical size of the hard drive. Both are commodities which costs money. So it impossible for any company to provide unlimited bandwidth and diskspace.

Most websites on the net only consume a very small space of bandwidth and disk space. So they doesn’t concerned about bandwidth.

Dedicated is better than shared.


Hosting our web sites on our own dedicated server may seem a little expensive in comparison to shared web hosting, but the end result is more advantageous.So is dedicated is better than shared server?

If we concerned about the shared hosting this is very much beneficial than dedicated in contrast of if we have lot of business modes but if we have single business then this is more efficient.

Shared web hosting is well managed,but cannot be 100% reliable and stable. However if we have our own dedicated server we can manage to avoid most of the variables affecting the reliability and stability of a server.

The dedicated server is totally is the user concentric means it is based on user control means if the user need they can install software as well as regarding tools to his need or for software support.

By the very nature of the account, a dedicated server: reduces our dependency on the web host, and bypasses time delays and possible expenses incurred from these. With dedicated server hosting we can provide instant support to our own clients whenever required, which is not possible if we are on a shared server.

A reliable, and fast support service is best for our own business growth just like the stability and reliability we wish for our own website. In business, reliability is very much important.

For people with clients, such as Graphic Designers and Web Designers a dedicated server is not a good deal. A dedicated server will catch extra income into the studio, not just as a hosting facility.

If we have 24hour access to our own dedicated server then we can adjust, correct or update a clients website in minutes, allowing us to keep the money back in our studio and not for someone else.

The availability results in reduced labor costs for the client, but higher studio-income frequency for the designer. Hence we will see the return of all our regular offline clients, bringing their web work with them.

The requirement for a dedicated server to our average shared server user is realized.Now quickly people left our site because it was taking too much time to download,or how many daily visitors we are down by, because our site was not up.

The true thing is the worry of how many lost visitors could have been our future paying-customers. The loss could be easily equal to the value of the upgrade to a Dedicated Server.

For a business, a website that is quickly downloadable and up all the time gives the visitor boost up that our service is just as reliable, hence we will be more likely to make a sale. It will also enhance the company’s image and boost existing customers to refer our service to others.

hosting self’s site


If I disgusted or disappointed with my current web host? Have I switched web hosting companies too many times? Now I decided to host my site my self,can I go for it?

You can be ready to host your own sites. This way of hosting is better than be reliable for any body for the self’s site as well as for better business.

When being our own web host we should be technically inclined and have basic knowledge of operating systems, understand technical terms, understanding how to setup a server environment have basic knowledge of scripting languages and databases.

We should realize the pros & cons. It is one thing to remember that, if we want to host our own web server and it is another thing to actually do it.

Mainly this process of hosting site is consist of following steps:
Own sense of responsibility
Awareness level raised
No monthly hosting fees/accounts
Incompetence no longer exist

More pros are:
Non-shared environment
Unlimited websites, databases, content, storage, etc.
More bandwidth
No more waiting on someone else time
Complete control

At the same time if we consider the cons then it can be:
Exhausting at times
Faced with server/hardware problems
ISP business account

More about these cons are
If server goes down then the website is offline
No technical support team
Software, hardware, and network expenses

Apart of these pros & cons there is also lot of pros & cons but these are much better. Managing a web server starts as a full time job,we must constantly monitor its performance and security.

This can be a hard task, especially if we currently have other responsibilities. Though, the control we will have over our website and its performance is rewarding enough.
