collocation hosting

What are the advantages of collocation hosting?Friends at Reseller Hosting, Dedicated Hosting, Shared Hosting plans – CPWebHosting please tell me.

The biggest advantage of collocation is the cost for bandwidth. For example, a low cost limited bandwidth business grade DSL line generally costs around $150 to $200, but for the same price or less a single server can be placed in a collocation facility that provides higher bandwidth speeds and better redundancy for the network connections. These savings can be even greater if the only dedicated network access is a more expensive full or fractional T1 lines.
collocation facilities have better outage protection. During a long ice-storm last year, my office was without power for three days. While we have a backup generator, it wasn’t powerful enough to keep the server running that entire time, so our Web sites were down during that outage. At a collocation provider, we are paying for power generators and backup power to protect against that type of situation.

We own the server machinery. If we decide that the machine is too slow or doesn’t have enough memory, we can simply upgrade the server. We don’t have to wait for our provider to get around to upgrading it.
We own the server software. I don’t have to rely on my hosting provider to install the software or tools I want to use. I simply do it myself. If I decide to use ASP or ColdFusion or ASP, I just purchase and install the software.
If we move, we can leave the server up and running the entire time. When we host our own domains we have to either pay for two lines for some time, to move the domains to the new location or deal with outages while the servers are moved to the new location.
collocation providers provide additional security for your machines. Your server is stored and maintained in a secured environment.
Most collocation servers offer a service where they will manage and maintain your server for you for an extra cost. This is especially useful if you don’t have IT team members or your office is located far from the provider.
oops guys so many advantages.It looks like you all are well versed in hosting business .Well now lets talk about the downside i mean disadvantages of collocation hosting?Lets see how many i am going to hear??

collocation providers can be hard to find. You want to find one near where your office or home is located, so that you can upgrade and maintain your server when you need to. But unless you live near a large city with major network hubs, chances are you won’t find many collocation options.
collocation can be more expensive than basic Web hosting. This is especially true as you have to maintain and manage your servers yourself, so when the server needs to be upgraded, you need to purchase that hardware and install it.
Physical access to your server can be difficult, because you have to travel to their location during your collocation provider’s service hours.
If you move out of the area where your collocation provider is, you have to either move your servers to a new provider or leave them there and pay for a maintenance contract.

Another drawback to collocation can be fluctuating prices. Since one of the factors in the monthly rate of collocating a server is the amount of data transferred via the server in the monthly period, an unusually large amount of traffic in a monthly period can cause the bill for the service to jump dramatically.

reseller hosting software


Tell me how can I choose a reseller hosting software?

Choosing a reseller host software is really a big deal because it makes your business more earningful and and it is easy to work with it.
__________________

Basically the reseller software is based on different part of the reselling software so web hosting reseller software programs are:
Alabanza
cPanel
H-Sphere
Plesk
__________________
First Web Hosting
All these kind of programs have their own control panels and some features like . they all have numerous features – advanced email management, web statistics, pre-installed scripts, multi language support, and more. They all work on Linux platforms, while H-Sphere and Plesk also work with Windows.
__________________
Dedicated Hosting Expert
Other features are their degree of automation, the number of features and ease of use for the end user, and the features and ease of use for you, the reseller.

Dedicated Hosting Expert
While if you talk about albanza then you lease a dedicated server from Alabanza. Alabanza owns the control panel and the server, and you resell directly for Alabanza. If you lease a dedicated Alabanza server, you can create your own reseller accounts.

My site keeps going down


Hi guys,

I registered a new domain a week ago and got the site up and running the weekend.

On a regular basis this site suddenly dissapears for minutes or sometimes hours and then re-appears again!

When it goes down all I see is this:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems

More information

It is really getting to be a pain as it has happened 2 times when I was adding data and then had to start all over again when it reappeared 40 minutes later.

You guys got any idea? And can I switch to dedicated ip also – please bill me for this and I will make payment.

Do you have Tiscali broadband connection ?

Some of our customers were facing similar problem as they were on Tiscali backbone, but we got this sorted before 2 days so I’m not sure why you would face such problem. If you can provide us with Trace route reports generated when you face such problem then that would help us to figure out if we need to get out Network Engineers involved once again.

I have requested our technical staff to look into this problem and they will get back to you with more details.

And yesterday it went offline for around 20 minutes, came back and went to offline again!

10 hours downtime is next to impossible

There must be something else as the load has never crossed 0.02 on portland and its a Dual Quad Core Xeon server with 12 Gigs of RAM. Our monitoring system shows no such downtime with any of the services on portland.

As always with computer networks, there are many places that can be causing issues and it’s not always the obvious one. I would try using a proxy if you can’t get on to your site and then you’ll know if it’s your connection or the server.

more about good host


Tell me what good qualities a web host should carry?

If we talk about a good host then he should follow all great features like service,space,data centers,etc.

on the basis of bigger is better a lot of webhosting companies will oversell their servers in this way, and rely on the little sites that won’t reach their limits to keep things running. These companies are spreading themselves thin.
__________________
Dedicated Hosting Expert
Make sure that you are actually getting what you pay for! Getting more than you pay for isn’t normally a good thing, as chances are you aren’t with a top quality host as they recognize that to keep things running they need to charge more.
Look for hosts that provide 24/7 email support. Email is the most common although a lot of hosts will also offer live chat, and some even phone support

Datacenters are all pretty similar, and often times a lot of resellers are at the same datacenter. Test out a company’s response time. And over a couple days.

more about web hosting business


how can I get a more profit in a web hosting business?

This hosting business is more profitable because If you run a website hosting business, you already know the challenges in the business.

If a visitor comes to your website, then leaves to comparison shop, you have more than likely lost that sale. Have you invested in sales copy that compels your visitors to buy from you?
__________________
First Web Hosting
you should keep your customers carefully because Because each customer is hard-won and the value of the customer is so high, you’ll want to make sure you have the support services that keep your customers happy.
Once a customer leaves you for another website host, he’s gone forever. You probably already make customer service a priority, with email answered in a timely fashion and well-trained technical support.
The major concern of your customer is how to succeed online. It’s easy to offer online marketing tools, ebooks and additional services.

How to select web host


Hi Friends!
As there are so many hosting companies these days,with thousands of plans for each hosting type.So how to find a good web host in this type of competitive environment which must provide excellent support,uptime guarantee and bandwidth.After all what everybody wants is a good host with cheap and reliable hosting services.So what are the ethics of finding such desired host?
__________________
wipr
Wipro Dedicated Servers
Ya its a big deal finding a reliable and good host.But its your inner instinct and full knowledge of your business that you must know your requirements and choose web host accordingly.But before choosing a web host you must see how much server space it is providing to you.

Server Space

First, think about how much space your site will take up on a server. Unless you are planning on running a software repository or an image gallery, the files that make up your website will probably only use between 1 and 5 megabytes of disk space. Many companies will offer several hundreds of megabytes of web space for a very reasonable price in attempt to out perform their competitors, but ask yourself “Do I really need that much space?”. Though it’s true that you should allow your site “room to grow”, don’t opt for what seems like a great deal on a massively sized account if you’ll never use all of the space offered. Chances are you’ll find an even better deal on an amount of space more suitable for your site size.

Data Transfer Allowance

This decision should be based on the same principal as above. Though you may be convinced that your site will be the next Amazon or Yahoo and receive a gazillion visitors a day, you really shouldn’t need an extremely high data transfer allowance unless, as stated above, you’re running a software download site or a large image gallery. Even heavily trafficked normal HTML sites usually only use a few gigabytes per month in bandwidth allowance. Don’t go overboard just because it seems like an awesome deal. You may also want to be wary of companies who offer “unlimited” data transfer as there are usually some fine-print stipulations that make this claim not entirely true. Be sure to read their terms and conditions very carefully before opting for this type of account. A five or ten gigabyte bandwidth allowance is usually plenty enough for a small to medium sized business or personal site.

Technical Support

A very important point to consider when choosing a web host is the types of technical support offered by the company and how easy they are to contact when you need them. Ideally, a company should offer 24/7 toll-free telephone support and email. I have seen companies that do not even offer a telephone number on their website. You should look for a company that is very easily accessible in your time of need. Nothing is more frustrating than being in the middle of working on your site and needing an important piece of information to finish the job and not being able to contact your hosting company to find it out.

CGI-Bin Access

No matter what type of site you are planning on running, chances are you will eventually need to install some type of CGI script. Whether it be a mailing list management script, contact form processor, or maybe even a fancy credit card processing script, your hosting account will need to allow you to install and run them. This requires access to a special folder on your server called “CGI-Bin”. Some hosting accounts will only allow you to use “pre-installed” scripts as a security measure. These are scripts that the owners of the company have installed and configured so that they know that they will work properly and not adversely affect their server’s performance. That may be all you need, but if you have the knowledge, it’s always nice to have the ability to install your own scripts and configure them to suit your individual needs. You should also be sure that the account you choose supports the language in which your scripts are written, such as PHP, Perl, etc.

Up-Time Guarantee

Another very important issue in determining the value of a hosting company is how often and for how long their servers “go down”. No matter how good a deal you get on server space or bandwidth allowance, or how wonderfully the company’s tech support takes care of you, your site can’t receive visitors or produce revenue if the machine on which it is hosted is not up and running. Naturally you want a company who can guarantee the highest up-time percentage possible. Servers are taken down briefly from time to time for maintenance or upgrading, so no company can ensure 100% up-time, but you want your site to be hosted on dependable, well managed machines that are not constantly having problems which require them to be down for long periods of time.

Email Accounts

Again, like data transfer allowance and server space, some companies will offer you loads more email accounts than you will ever use. Some offer hundreds or even unlimited email accounts as a selling point. This is an important factor if you are Bill Gates and have thousands of employees, each who need their own email box, but not such a big deal if you’re just one person or a small company. You should be okay with 10 or 15.

Reputation

This is probably the most important factor to consider when choosing a web host. Do your homework. Pay attention to any negative feedback you may hear or read about a particular hosting company. There are several sites around the Web that feature discussion forums that allow people to discuss and critique various hosting companies. Ask specific questions about any company you might be interested in using to see if anyone else has had any negative experiences with them. As a beginning webmaster, I had initially contracted the services of a particular web hosting company to host my first site, who promised very good, dependable service for a very cheap price. Then one day, for no apparent reason, decided to delete my entire site without warning or explanation. Only then did I visit some hosting forums and find that many others had similar negative experiences with that company. Don’t make the same mistake I did, find out for sure from the start that your hosting company is not going to let you down.

Cyber Squatters


Hi Friends !
Its whenever i surf in context of hosting i always comes around this term “Cyber Squatters”…?What it is all about?

Your domain name could be stolen or given up to the evil entity known as the Cyber squatters whose main mission is to steal your web identity and this is how they do it. They could register YourDomainName.org, and do the same thing with YourDomainName.biz, therefore contacting you and try to sell you those names at advanced prices.

Moreover if their purpose is not solved by this then they will allow your competitor to get a domain that sounds like yours, and allow him to cause confusion or try to steal your hard-earned traffic, business and clients.
Such type of criminal activities are not fruitful for your business.
OOPS ! God save my business from such crimes.Are there any measures to abolish such types of activities.Is there any organization where we can register such squatters so that they could be permanently removed saving other web hosts.

Take these steps right now to halt the cyber squatters.
Have people go through you for authorization: Go through your domain name registrar and fill in a form that locks in authorized entities of your claim of other domain names. You can buy these names and keep them under your roof. It will provide you information to include, such as contact information, who should be contacted if someone wants to register your domain, the character string you are claiming (this must be an EXACT match), description of your current products/services, when you began using that domain name.

Ya these are not half measures.Don’t let cyber squatters shake you down and ruin what you have built up on the net.You have a small window to accomplish filling out an authorized entry form. Check with your domain registrar for time frame windows in filling out an authorized entry form Failure to enter a claim during a certain time frame means the registering entities will not check to see if there is an equivalent .com, .net or .org name. They will not check the IP Claim Service database. Meaning, you could lose your .info or net-version of your domain name.
Get the rights and the authorization to similar or like names to your main domain name!

Data transfer per month are typically referred to as bandwidth. It is the amount of data transfer that occurs between your website and visitors.
Visitors to your web site will often connect via 56K modems or ADSL modems but your web host provider should have a much faster connection.
Your website should have high web site connections that are approximately 1000 high speed (56 Kilobytes per second) modems combined- T3 fiber optic connections.

cold fusion hosting


please tell me about cold fusion hosting?
__________________
Web SSL
cold fusion hosting is based on database means it totally depends on the databases system.
Cold Fusion hosting adds versatility and interactivity to ecommerce sites. Cold Fusion allows you to publish and then have automatically removed from your site time-sensitive content, such as flight schedules or event calendars.
Though cold fusion is built on the Java platform, CFML allows web developers the benefits of Java without its inherent technical complexities.
__________________
Dedicated Hosting Expert
Cold Fusion is a server-side language which means that any web pages using CFML are read and interpreted by the Cold Fusion hosting company’s server and converted into an HTML page prior to being sent back to the user’s browser.

Cold Fusion web hosting can be significantly more expensive than other forms of web hosting, and should therefore only really be considered if its unique set of tools are relevant for your site’s intended uses.
