Can I get the IP address of class A as that is the only preferable IP than the class C IP.

Well, this is true that the Class C networks may appear less desirable than class A networks. But the problem is that the network address of class A consists of only 8 bits, only 126 class A networks are possible. All such addresses, have long been assigned, so although you might prefer a class A address, you are not likely to receive one.

I have read somewhere that unfortunately, class C addresses are also becoming scarce, even they are 24-bit network address which can yield 16 million possible network addresses.

A new TCP/IP standard, IPv6 will provide 128-bit IP addresses.

Hi,

Class A network addresses 1.0.0.0-126.0.0.0
Class B network addresses 128.0.0-191.0.0.0
in between 127 is left, where it is being used?

well, the IP 127.0.0.0-127.255.255.255 refer to the local host and network – loopback addresses.

Similarly, you will find:
224.0.0.0-239.0.0.0 is reserved to be used by multicast protocols
240.0.0.0-255.0.0.0 is reserved, you cannot used them
10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 is reserved for private networks
172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255 reserved for private networks
192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255 is also reserved for private networks

What is your vision of hosting/reselling in the future (like 2010)?

Will the internet be the same? (definitely not) What is going to change?
Will there be a hosting business?

The future of web hosting and web site development is probably in cell phones. Everything keeps getting smaller. Remember how big the very first computers were? There is a really good article in this issue of the Hosting Standard that everyone in the industry should read. Whether it be 5 years from now or 10 years from now, cell phones will be devices that are fully integrated with your computer and the Internet. At that point, who knows if it will create a higher demand for hosting/design services or something will come along to knock it out of the ballpark.

The main thing is that if your a web-based company owner you have to have the flexibility to adjust to the market because we are in a booming industry that is really going to look different in the future.

I think most of the personal website will be host in his own house with his own unlimited bandwidth broadband connection.

I agree with u, its Mean Web Hosting businees even more compatative

I think the hosting business will be after 8-10 yrs but not vast as it is now a days. I fully agree with this opinion that everyone may have there own PC as there server with a T1 Line (easily affordable at that time) and running lots of there own network sites.

In other words are better trace route times frome various cities over the US mean a host is better than another host that has higher trace route times?

Seems like on some hosts I can burst with a download file with wget faster than vs. another host. But when doing trace routes the higher bursting host has worse traceroute numbers.

So which is better when comparing a host?

Traceroute is not a good measurement of speed

Distance is just one of many factors that affects the performance between two hosts on the Internet. Other factors include bandwidth, server speed, line utilization and backbone connectivity.

U r right tertius.

Traceroute is not a good measurement of speed, it is a measurement of the route that is taken to get to a host, which is important but a long traceroute does not necessarily equate to a slow host (it does not help, but it does not mean a host is slow).

A wget from multiple locations is your best indication because that is most reflective of the experience people are going to have visiting your website.

Traceroute just shows the path that all packets traverse to get from host A to host B.

Lower traceroutes are good, but they are not necessarily indicitive of good network performance. Traceroutes are ICMP messages, so they are low priority messages. A router is going to answer all other queries and then answer ICMP requests — so WGET transfers are more indicitive of the cusotmer experience, since they will be answered in the same manner as a browser query.

Is it possible to move ssl certificates to a different server? I suppose I would have to generate a new server key for the domain. But CRT’s aren’t server specific are they?

If the domain name is the only thing specified than you are safe.

If the IP was added in, you are gonna have to get that updated.

Hello,
I have a website hosted at cpwebhosting.net. I m new in this field,can any body tell me how to access email from the web.

u can access your webmail using ” domain.com/webmail “

U can just add a subdomain that points to that.

I use that.

m.domain.com.

Its fairly simple to use

“domain.com/webmail ” works great

I am trying to decide on which ftp client I should go with?

Programs I am considering in order:

1. Cute FTP

2. Smart FTP

3. WS_FTP

Please give any advise

Personally I’d use FlashFXP or FTPRush, but if it’s on your list, use WSFTP

I think CuteFTP professional is best

Yes,CuteFTP professional is the king. Planned uploads, built-in SSH connection, super fast and more

If you don’t want to pay then FileZilla is best

Its Depends on u what you want an ftp client to do

If it’s general use then use FileZilla but, if you’re wanting enhanced features then CuteFTP Pro.

Is there any standard for measuring the bandwidth?

Well, there are certain telcom standards, according to them, Bandwidth measurements are defined as the following:

* First – 95th (measured using average bits and speed of transfer)
* Second – Unmetered (measured in speed or bits)
* Third – Total Transfer (measured in bytes transferred)
