Web Hosting Uptime ?


Hi,
Most of web host give 99.9% Uptime Guarantee. what is Web Hosting Uptime ?

Hosting uptime means the extent of time the server remains in running position. If you want to enjoy the best services of the host or want your site on the server for most of the time, then ask for higher uptime from your host. Uptime is important not only for web providers but also to the owner of the site, it is because if there is more downtime then it creates problem to the user of the site, and then to site owner as he faces loss of money and then to the reputation of the web host as he already took guarantee for giving higher uptime. And this happens because all the three are inter linked with each other. Web host offer 99.9% uptime that means there will not be down time less than 2 minutes a day.

Particular directory access


I have a web hosting account. some of my friends and me working on a project. i want my friends can access this project directory,without giving access to the root directory, other directories or the control panel. Plz. advice

The simplest way to authorize your friends to work with particular directories of your account is to create FTP subaccounts. An FTP subaccount is a combination of a username and a password, which gives full FTP permissions to a single directory, without giving access to the root directory, other directories or the control panel. No dedicated IP is required for FTP subaccounts.

Thanks tcheck for your help

how can we create a FTP subaccount

To create a new FTP subaccount:

* Go to your control panel home
* Click the FTP Manager icon
* At the bottom of the page that shows, find FTP sub-accounts and click the Add icon.
* On the next page, enter the FTP login and password that will be used by this other user, and the directory this user will be restricted to.
The directory must be relative to your home directory. If you leave the directory field empty, FTP sub-users will have access to your whole home directory.

I have also Heared about Virtual FTP.what is it?

Virtual FTP provides ampler possibilities than FTP sub-accounts. You can give your authorized Virtual FTP users access to more than one directory and specify a different set of permissions for each directory. Virtual FTP users log right into your root, but can enter only those directories you allow them to enter.

The Virtual FTP functionality is only avaialable at linux-based servers.

how can we create Virtual FTP Access?

To provide Virtual FTP Access to a certain domain, do the following:

* On your control panel home page, click the Domains icon
* If you have several domains, choose the one to enable virtual FTP for.
* On the page that appears, switch to dedicated IP. Click here to read about the difference between shared and dedicated IPs.
* Go back to your control panel home page and click the FTP Service icon. Enable FTP for this domain:
