COLOCATION SERVICES


A colocation centre or colocation center is a type of data centre where equipment space and bandwidth are available for rental to retail customers. Colocation facilities provide space, power, cooling, and physical security for the server, storage, and networking equipment of other firms—and connect them to a variety of telecommunications and network service providers—with a minimum of cost and complexity.

Colocating the server gives you the greatest flexibility. You get to choose the hardware configuration of the server and the software that goes on it. The hosting company maintains the connection to the Internet and deals with environmental details such as uninterruptible power supplies, fire controls, and air conditioning. On the other hand, you’re responsible for that server’s upkeep.

Colocation services and the need for them originated in the expansive growth and popularity of the Internet. As everyone from university researchers to corporate executives began relying upon the Internet for instantaneous communication and access to information, Internet Service Providers, or ISPs, found themselves in search for ways to maximize Internet connectivity. In the mid-1990?s, regulations that had previously hindered the growth of the Internet were set aside in favor of those that favored entrepreneurial start-ups. The first of colocation services was born and as it proved a successful and profitable way for businesses to maximize data storage and communication, more soon followed.

A short colocation service definition is a structure which functions as a kind of data center, where many companies locate or rent servers that have access to significantly large amounts of access to Internet bandwidth. Colocation facilities are located at key connecting points along the Internet “backbone,” facilitating much better connectivity than any single business could afford. Redundancy is provided within the system, thereby eliminating latency, which is loosely defined as the time delay in transmitting a signal between two operational systems.

A better colocation services definition would include an analysis of the security benefits of keeping critical data records in a colocation facility. Typically, colocation service providers use closed circuit television to monitor the facility and locked cages or cabinets for each customer’s group of servers. In the event there is no differentiation between groups of servers, employees will escort customers into and out of the building to prevent unauthorized tampering. Some colocation services use identification cards and PIN codes to allow access to the building and the equipment within it. The most high tech facilities employ biometric security measures such as fingerprinting and voice recognition.

These facilities have extensive power backups which take over in the event of a power outage, ranging from racks of battery backups to diesel powered generators. Some colocation services are actually connected to several different sections of a power grid, lessening the chances of any localized power failure affecting the facility directly.

Computers generate heat. Many computers in the same room can produce enough heat to cause them all to fail. Colocation facilities use powerful air conditioning systems for cooling and to regulate the amount of moisture in the air. This prevents condensation on internal components or, at the other extreme, the kind of dry air which can result in the discharge of static electricity, which can damage computer components.

Combined with extensive systems for detecting and fighting fires on premises, these security precautions assure that data and IT capability housed with a colocation service provider will remain safe and its service uninterrupted.

HOSTING SPACE


Hosting space is a set of services, of server where customer creates hosting items.

Hosting space refers to the amount of space given to websites on the server. It’s also called disc space or web hosting space. A shared web host will store several websites on the same server. Each website is given a certain amount of space to store the files. You pay a monthly fee for the space, bandwidth and features associated with your hosting plan. Hosting space is usually divided into megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB).

Hosting space is determined by the hosting plan which dictates where the hosting space is located or it tell on which server and how many allocated resources it has. There might be more than one hosting space under user account.

“System” hosting space is a root hosting space under which all other spaces are created. It can’t be changed or deleted and it belongs to “serveradmin” account.

The list of hosting spaces of some user can be seen either on user account home page or by clicking “Hosting Spaces” link on the left User Account Menu.

To create a new hosting space click “Create Hosting Space” button and select a hosting plan.

The amount of hosting space needed by a user is determined by the total size of all their website files. To find out how much space you need, simply right-click on the folder containing your files then select properties. Look at “size on disk.” For example the total file size of a WordPress folder is 9.10 MB (9,547,776 bytes) so you will need at least 10 MB of space. It’s best to purchase at least twice as much space to allow for e-mail accounts, log files, scripts, images and the future content you will be adding on a continuous basis.

If you anticipate hosting lots of video, audio or downloadable files you’ll need a lot more space. Ask your hosting provider if you can easily upgrade your hosting plan.

Hosting space is an important feature for hosting any account. Often website owner find it difficult to decide how much of the hosting space is needed by their websites as this would only decide the bandwidth allotted to their websites which in turn would decide the amount of traffic allowed to their website.

Beware of hosting providers that offer unlimited space. They’re going on the assumption that most websites will only use a small amount of space on the server while a few will contain large files and need a large amount. It may cut costs for them however it may decrease your website performance because they are cramming as many websites as possible on one server. This will slow the loading of your web pages. If a visitor can’t view your website within a few seconds they will go elsewhere.

CREATE YOUR OWN EMAIL ADDRESS


All email addresses have the format someone@somewhere;. What appears before the at (@) sign is the ID (usually username) and what follows it, is the domain name. So the first thing you need for creating your own email address is to get a domain name.

There are two ways in which you can create your email address

  1. Using Gmail or yahoo which provides free email services.
  2. Pay for the domain name and get email services.

The easiest way to get your own domain name is to buy it. Though there are hundreds of companies that offer domain registration services, only a few are reliable. Network Solutions were the first companies to sell domain names.

To create a new free email address e.g. hotmail you will need to go to the hotmail site and create a new account or id. The account can be used for accessing the various services and is associated with an email address.

You cannot create an email address without first creating the account/or id.

You cannot have multiple email addresses without creating multiple accounts. You should note that these are not simple email accounts but service accounts giving you access to multiple services.

However if you are using an ISP then you can normally create multiple addresses using the email control panel.

  • For paid accounts you need:
  • A domain Name
  • Mailbox Storage
  • A domain name is the basis of your email addresses, and is not as expensive as many think, often costing less than $10 per year.
  • Once you have your own domain name it belongs to you and you control it.
  • A domain name is in effect an address. It can be the address of a Website, and it can also the address of a mailbox.
  • The email address has the general form mailbox@name2.name1

Where :

  • mailbox= name of mailbox e.g. dinesh
  • name2= 2nd level domain e.g. IBM, Microsoft, Dell
  • name1= TLD (Top level domain) e.g. com, mil, gov

A domain name needs to be unique – no two web sites can have the same domain name. Your aim is to search for a domain name that is either your name or describes you or your business in some manner.

In today’s scenario finding a suitable domain name can be quite an exercise because all the good ones are apparently already registered.

The thing which should be kept in mind is your domain name should be catchy and for finding it you should have patience.

Here are some pointers to help you in your search for a good domain name.
First check whether the domain name of your last name is available.

To add flexibility in finding a suitable Domain names one can add dashes which can be used to separate your first and last names.

You can even hunt for domain names that describe you in any fashion. For example, if hanniballector.com is unavailable, pyschopathickiller.com would aptly describe the evil murderer from The Silence of the Lambs.

Do not use numbers unless, of course, they are a part of your name.

The company from where you purchased the domain name will also provide you the email service. You would be able to create not one but multiple email addresses of your own. The charges will be extra, however.

Now these things would help you to create your own email address.

Non-Oversold Web Hosting
Overselling is when a hosting company oversells the capacity of the server by offering “unlimited” disk space. A hard drive with unlimited storage is nonexistent. Hosting companies that offer unlimited disk space are counting on you using a small amount of space. This is an unknown variable. If the server reaches its space capacity, not only will you be unable to update your website, but all services will stop working — database, email, and your website! Every gigabyte of disk space that these companies sell is assigned to the customer that purchased it. You are able to use 100% of what you buy.

Security and Privacy
The hosting company is committed to protecting and securing all subscriber provided information, through the use of firewalls, SSL encryption, and additional security measures in place at the physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of such information. Their data centers incorporate the latest technologies in IDS (Intrusion Detection System) to monitor and protect against malicious attacks. Access to the server racks is limited with the use of key cards. In addition, the servers are protected behind internal firewalls and monitoring software.

Freedom to Register your Domain Name Anywhere
Some web hosts give free domain names with their accounts. The problem is, many of these hosts retain ownership of the domain. This means that if you don’t like their service and want to change hosts, you cannot because you would be leaving your domain behind. Or, if they let you take the domain, they will charge you to transfer the domain, at a rate higher than it would have cost to register the domain yourself. They are, in effect, holding your domain hostage. But some companies purposely keep web hosting and domain registration separate. You can register your domain name anywhere and use services elsewhere this would help you to cut your expenses on hosting plans to a great deal.

OFFSITE DATA STORAGE


The main reason for storing data offsite is to have backup so that if data is lost then it can b retrieved easily. Data is usually transported off-site using removable storage media such as magnetic tape or optical storage. Data can also be sent electronically via a remote backup service, which is known as electronic vaulting or e-vaulting. Sending backups off-site ensures systems and servers can be reloaded with the latest data in the event of a disaster, accidental error, or system crash. Sending backups off-site also ensures that there is a copy of pertinent data that isn’t stored on-site. Off-site backup services are convenient for companies that backup pertinent data on a daily basis. In computing, off-site data protection, or vaulting, is the strategy of sending critical data out of the main location as part of a disaster recovery plan.

Although some organizations manage and store their own off-site backups, many choose to have their backups managed and stored by third parties who specialize in the commercial protection of off-site data.

Features of offsite data storage providers should be simple backup configuration, HIPAA-compliant security, easy recovery, seamless integration in Windows, etc.

Things you should see when preferring offsite data storage

  1. Reliable software : Backups are too important to trust to chance. Make sure that the backup software you deploy works well on the OS platforms you require. Many automated offsite backup services run best on Windows XP, while others perform well on Windows Vista. The only way to really know is to test a service’s application before rolling it out on production systems.
  2. Storage plans should meet the needs of their customers. Some offsite backup services bill by the gigabyte.
  3. Look for service providers with storage limits or pricing plans that meet your organization’s needs while also proving flexible.
  4. Stellar reporting tools : Knowing critical data is automatically being backed up offsite are more than just a relief. With critical data safely secured, you can move on to addressing other tasks.
  5. An approachable backup application : the backup application itself must be easy to use and as close to foolproof as possible. Many leverage Windows Explorer-like interfaces, where you just need to check boxes for those files and folders that require backing up.
  6. Simple recovery : when hard disks fail, users accidentally delete files, or other systems errors occur, IT professionals need to be able to recover files quickly. Conduct tests of backup providers’ recovery functions to confirm that file recovery is simple, fast, and secure.
  7. Secure file transfer : Security has always been an issue with backups. Whether strategies involved giving one set of IT pros backup rights and another set restoration privileges, organizations have always struggled for a reasonable balance between security and operational efficiency when addressing backup issues.
  8. 24/7 supports : Disk failures and other data loss episodes don’t always occur during office hours, and they almost always require repair and recovery operations after hour’s .Thus, you should confirm that your backup service provider’s technicians will be available when you need them most.
  9. E-mail alerts : numerous distractions demand IT professionals’ attention. Whether failed routers, nonfunctioning remote connections, new user accounts, or other common break/fix issues arrest your workday, backup operations must still be monitored. Unfortunately, in the heat of putting out fires and attending other crises, it’s easy to overlook backup issues until it’s too late.

Some offsite backup providers support sending alerts, bringing your attention to problems via e-mail. Without this feature, you might remain unaware that backups are failing or larger issues exist. By insisting on selecting a backup provider that supports forwarding e-mail alerts when backups fail or encounter errors, organizations can ensure their IT staff stays on top of backup operations and receive SOS messages when troubles do arise.
By these things you can choose a good offsite data storage provider.

HOSTING BLOG


A blog is a discussion or information site published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete entries typically displayed in reverse chronological order so the most recent post appears first. Until 2009 blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often were themed on a single subject. More recently “multi-author blogs” (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and professionally edited.

The emergence and growth of blogs in the late 1990s coincided with the advent of web publishing tools that facilitated the posting of content by non-technical users.

Blog hosting is all about the features that allow you to install and/or use a blog-software such as WordPress, Typepad, b2evolution, Nucleus, etc. These features will include:

  1. Scripting support (i.e. PHP)
  2. Database support (i.e. MySQL)
  3. Large amounts of storage space and bandwidth
  4. Easy one-click install (i.e. Fantastico)

There are many Open Source CMS which has been evolved over the past 10 years. The websites developed in CMS has been on top edge because of their less expensive, fast and easier to manage features. Besides, it is more flexible so you can move to other resources .Among all CMS WordPress, Joomla, Drupal have been the primary choice. According to builtwith.com WordPress is reported to be used in 48% of websites and the rest part is shared between other technologies. If we look at Google trends then WordPress searches has continually risen, while Joomla has declined. Expert recommends WordPress, if you want your website to use parallax scrolling and mobile device responsive.

Informative WordPress Statistics

48% of Technorati’s top 100 blogs are managed with WordPress :

When there are large quantities of content management systems available, this will increase volumes of WordPress popularity. If anyone decides to go with WordPress, then he will surely be with good company. The New York Times, Mashable, CNN and eBay all these organizations run their blogs on most popular CMS in the world which named WordPress.

WordPress related keywords score 37 million searches per month :

The keyword “WordPress” alone has received several searches every month. When anyone counts the searches of all keywords with WordPress, the monthly figure will be around 37 million searches. WordPress search is five times as much as Joomla as and nine times more than Drupal.

6 New WordPress.com Posts Every second :

46 Million Downloads of WordPress.org :

The top 10, 00,000 number of business sites are powered by WordPress is five times the number of WordPress-managed news sites. WordPress got high rank as one of the most blogged topics in the online marketing.

98 Versions of WordPress to Date :

Even with the less number of employees they are rolling out new updates once every few weeks. In addition, WordPress.com source code is updated 60-80 times per day. Therefore, there is continuously change o this platform daily.

Some reasons, why WordPress is most favored option:-

  1. Ease of installation: – Although ‘Fantastico’ has made all CMS very easy to install, but without this service WordPress is easiest among all three top CMS.
  2. Better marketing communication:- WordPress is developed as blogging platform to communicate. So it is customizable and open source for other systems to connect with its two feature RSS and XML-RPC.
  3. Managing and Maintenance:- WordPress is simple enough to be managed with non-technical staff except core technical works related to maintaining the database, Ecommerce activities, and integrating with CRM.Wordpress.org ensures the core infrastructure of CMS is always up to date with current technology.
  4. Customization with plug-ins:- With WordPress covering a huge share of market, there are more programmers who develop various utility plug-in and available free in market which are able to add a special functionality.

Some of top WordPress hosting provider companies are:-

  • Ipage

The major disadvantage of WordPress is that it is easier to hack and penetrable. But with following ways you might be able to improve the security:-

  1. Username and Password Strength: With the use of good password, we can prevent many of the sneakers from peeking into your website. A password should be alphanumeric with the use of capital and small case alphabets. The compromise of password may be the biggest harm for your website. The most common username in WordPress is ‘admin’, keep yourself from choosing this username as if hacker gets your username then he will just have to guess you password.
  2. Secure hosting: You should also check if your hosting provider is using enough security measures. Your website may be vulnerable to attacks if there is any security breach in hosting.
  3. Backups and timely updates: You should back up your website on timely basis. There are many tools available but it is recommended to back up with hosting control panel. Along with backups, timely updates are also necessary as newer versions are often released to fix security issues with previous version.
  4. Security plug-in and monitoring: More often when a website is hacked it is completely hidden from public view. So you should use tools to monitor when your website goes down. Moreover there are many security plug-in available which prevents illicit login attempts.

Internet industry, Mobile and digital technology are now heading towards new consideration and concern. These are:-

  • Google has now begun to start considering if a website is secure or not to show on search results. Security depends over server, SSL certificates and HTTPS.
  • If your website is not mobile friendly and effective for mobile visitor then you have to rethink .You can review Google analytics to ascertain how many visitors are using mobile phone to view your site. A new technology name ‘parallax scrolling’ has made navigation easier to mobile visitors. This technology is needed to be incorporated in your current website.
  • Structured data is much important as it assists search engine about content in websites.
  • XML sitemaps are another thing that is not directly accessible by visitor but helps search engine understand the construction of website.

There are two ways of creating a blog

One is you can create a blog for free with free web hosting and the other is investing in a paid blog hosting provider. If you are creating a personal blog to keep in touch with your family and friends, then a free blog hosting service would likely be sufficient for your needs. Free blog hosts, such as Blogger and WordPress.com, offer easy-to-use interfaces that make it simple for people with limited technical skills to start blogging. There is no script installation or database configuration – as the blog software is all setup and ready for you.

Most free blog hosting options also provide a limited selection of templates so you can alter the look of your blog to better suit your personal tastes. You won’t be able to remove ads from the site, however, since this is the primary way free blog hosts generate revenue.

For bloggers who are hoping to turn their blog into a source of supplemental income, it’s best to invest in paid blog hosting. With a paid account, you will have your own domain and greater options for customizing your blog. If you want to run ads on your site, you will be the one who keeps the income generated. You will also be able to accommodate larger amounts of traffic. Many paid blog hosting providers offer easy one-click installation for major blog software’s, so you can get your blog up and running in just a few clicks.

VIRTUAL WEB HOSTING


Virtual hosting is a method for hosting multiple domain names (with separate handling of each name) on a single server (or pool of servers). This allows one server to share its resources, such as memory and processor cycles, without requiring all services provided to use the same host name. The term virtual hosting is usually used in reference to web servers but the principles carry over to other internet services.

There are two main types of virtual web hosting, name based and IP based. Name based virtual hosting uses the host name presented by the client. This saves IP addresses and the associated administrative overhead but the protocol being served must supply the host name at an appropriate point. IP based virtual web hosting uses a separate IP address for each host name and it can be performed with any protocol but requires a dedicated IP address per domain name served. Port based virtual hosting is also possible in principle but is rarely used in practice because it is unfriendly to users.

Name based and IP based virtual hosting can be combined, a server may have multiple IP address and serve multiple names on some or all of those IP addresses.

Virtual web hosting allows many websites to be hosted on the same server(s), leading to competitive pricing for the end user and for simplified management for all parties involved. Without the efficiency of virtual web hosting, it would be impossible for the Internet to scale as the hardware and maintenance costs would be unrealistic for the vast majority of website owners.

For large websites with a significant number of visitors and page views, virtual web hosting may not be the best solution because the resources required by the website can be very significant, often resulting in the need for an entire server, or for very large sites, multiple servers. However, virtual web hosting benefits entry level users with small websites who have a low budget and only require basic server resources that can be shared with other sites.

Basic virtual web hosting plans should incorporate the following features; adequate disk space and bandwidth, email accounts and an administration control panel. The control panel has multiple features simplifying the process of web design and management for regular folks who are not tech savvy. The control panel will allow for easy installation and administration of popular web software like WordPress, Google Analytics, forum software, etc. The operations for each domain name remains independent from other domains hosted on the same virtual web hosting server. Administration of the domain’s resources is conducted on the server side via a web browser interface.

With virtual web hosting, the user only has access to the portion of the server where their website(s) reside. For instance, users can upload photos to their blog or post articles and HTML files. However they are not granted rights to conduct processes like increasing disk space or bandwidth, as those details are controlled by the hosting package that the user has purchased. Most virtual web hosting packages also allow for administration of advanced services such as MySQL databases or PHP.
