Is it better or not to get domain name separate from hosting company


Prevent yourself from any possible trouble and register the domain at a registrar separate from the web hosting company.

Never register your domain with your web host. It’s a bad idea!

most of the problems i read are usually because the users did not check to see if the domain name is actually registered to them instead of the hosting company. i was assured by the company i asked ( ixwebhosting ) that i have full control over my domain and would be listed as the owner so i assume shouldn’t be too difficult to transfer if i find their services lacking. please correct me if i’m wrong

Completely agree with actually owning your domain name, because if you ever have problems with the hosting company, you can always transfer your domain name. From personal experience I have lost a domain because of this.

My answer is yes! I learned it the hard way, with my site down for a whole week.

While sayng ALL hosts are “keeping your domain names” may be a bit exaggerated, there are DEFINITELY more than just a few HUNDRED horror stories. I have personally come across quite a number of situations myself switching hosts for my clients; many, including some well established hosting companies, are making transfers or even changing nameservers DIFFICULT, and you could guess the reason why

Having two different provider for Domain and Hosting is totally depends on the clients and the way in which he find himself comfortable, some prefer different providers and they cant give the whole control to one service provider, whereas some prefer single provider as it help them in resolving the technical issues. So its all upto you and your mode of working.

Current value of .biz and .info


I think .info and .biz have a good future. They are generally the next best top level domains after .com, .net, .org. Once those three are taken then the info and biz are next best if you want to promote worldwide, and they are usually shown in the results anywhere you reg domains, so they are visible. Or, you can also use your own country tld.

The value of .info is certainly going to rise in the near future there’s no doubt about it, while the value of .biz will rise as the availability of other TLDs for commercial purposes is declining but it may take a few more years

For information sites .info is obviously the one, there have been multiple $x,xxx sales although things seem to have dried up of late.

The .biz extension I do not see, for a start their is a .bz extension (Belize) and with the correct marketing that could take a lot of any potential traffic from the .biz suffix.

I think if anyone of you owns a lot of .biz and .info…domains… you should put some of them to use as developed websites. A developed website beats out any parking plan anyday…however the reason I’m saying this is …for example…

I read somewhere that only about 30% of .biz tlds are developed as proper websites as compared to about 80% of .com tld and also high figures for .net tld.

The current view is that .biz is a less desirable .tld and one of the reasons is people think its a speculative tld….and not mainstream… so there you go. Most people may not know it exists.

I personally don’t like the idea of using various cc tlds to make up words, like .es, .is, .se. I’d rather own those domains with good words in the language of the country. I mean, what is the market for a chopped up word in an extension most people aren’t familiar with? Sure, there’s a few exceptions but far from widespread use. If you are ragging names like that I would say it’s highly speculative.

6 Reasons Why You Need a Website


  1. People Will Look for You Online.

When someone types your name or business into a search engine, What do you want them to find? These are people who want to see you. They are looking for what you are selling, and if you don’t have a website, you’re letting them down. They expect to see you online. For many people, you might as well not exist if you can’t be found with a search engine. Not having a website is like not being listed in the phone book. Can you run your business without a phone? In this ‘Information Age,’ being online is vital.

2. Websites Cost Next to Nothing

Until a few years ago, it cost a lot to run a website, but those days are long gone. There are literally thousands of places that can host your website. There are free hosting companies that give away space in exchange for putting banner advertising (of which you have no control) on your site. Your ISP may give you hosting space. Again, this should be reserved for personal websites, not for business.

3. Websites are Great Advertising

Whether advertising services, products or just yourself, a website is a great way to do it. Every other kind of advertising costs a premium, especially if you want to target a specific type of person, and there’s no guarantee that they’re paying attention. Websites are like brochures that are free to reproduce, interactive, and quickly distributed to people already looking for them. No advertising medium even comes close to a website’s ease of use and effectiveness.

4. A Website is a Worldwide Presence

On the web, it doesn’t matter whether someone is next door to you or on the other side of the world; they can see your website just the same as anyone else can, and it doesn’t cost you or them anything extra. Phone and mailing cost enormous amounts long-distance, but your website lets you send information anywhere without additional effort or expense. You can make friends and contact in places you’ve never been and will never go suddenly; working globally is no more effort than working locally.

5. Your Website Can Make You Money

There’s a lot of money on the web, and getting some is not hard. The longer you’re online, the bigger your share can get. If you have something to sell, you can sell it worldwide, thanks to credit cards. Most hosting companies even offer merchant accounts. CP web hosting has several great ways to accept online payments and build your business. Doing business online eliminates almost every overhead: all you need to do is have the goods. You can put helpful something out there with a few ads if you’ve written something useful. You won’t get rich overnight, but you can set up a steady trickle of income… and there’s no limit to the number of trickles you can set up.

6. Your Website Can Save Your Time

Giving information takes time, whether on the phone, in brochures, or even emailing your family. Websites are designed to save you time. All your family and friends can read your online diary (known as a blog), but you only have to write it once. Customers can see your whole product catalogue without needing to talk to or visit you. This is the power of the web: things on it are written only once but can be downloaded endlessly. A good website runs itself and keeps being helpful to people for much longer than you’d expect.

A glimpse of Reseller Vs VPS hosting


Reseller Hosting Vs VPS hosting

Reseller Vs Vps hosting

A reseller hosting is like a shared room with many people. It means that in reseller web hosting, one can use many accounts as per their requirement or even sell them to others. On the other hand, VPS hosting or Virtual Private Server is one of a kind. It is like a big room where you can get your single room. VPS web hosting is a hosting service provider where you can get a private place for yourself irrespective of sharing with others.

Now, the answer is quite simple if you are wondering which one to opt for. It depends on your line of business and the kind of expectations you have from it. In fact, a comparison of Reseller Hosting Vs VPS hosting can help you reach that understanding level. For this, you can research on your own from the internet by reading through various article directories. You may also consider joining a few forums and discussing your dilemma simultaneously. Besides all that, we have tried our best to put all the information in one place that will ultimately assist you in deciding on what kind of hosting plan you should invest in.

Talking about a VPS hosting provider, one can only say that although a small number of people share this server, it is also a shared server in contrast to a dedicated server. This server is handy for those who want their server at a reduced price. Additionally, VPS web hosting has Root access, which allows its users to download software and applications that are properly licensed and legal. It becomes its USP and makes it better than any other shared server in the market.

On the other hand, reseller web hosting has a dedicated Web Host Manager who can help you customize your hosting. This manager will also greatly aid when deciding the bandwidth or the web space you need without overspending. A reseller hosting provider uses the Linux platform, which becomes its USP.

The best part about VPS web hosting is that you get allocated your bandwidth, disk space, and RAM. This hosting ensures that the web traffic on other sites will never affect your bandwidth. On the other hand, with reseller web hosting, one can sell the accounts using their brand names. With this hosting, you can use the software your host provides.

So now that you have read about Reseller Hosting Vs VPS hosting in detail, it is solely up to you to decide what hosting provider you should choose. There are merits and demerits of both these hosting forms. You need to weigh both sides and then take a call without any doubts!

Beginners Linux Guide


LINUX HELP FOR BEGINNERS

The first thing you must decide regarding web hosting is what platform to use. The type of database or scripting language that you use will coincide with the kind of web hosting plan you choose. Linux web hosting has been the primary choice for most developers and powers most of the web. This is due to the various benefits it offers for website development.

For beginners or people interested in coming up with a website, such as a blog site or shopping cart, using Linux is much easier. Features, like having an inquiry form on the website or managing online shopping, are better handled by Linux. If there are no specified requirements, you should consider Linux web hosting.

You might also be interested in using a Linux Platform if you are using any of the following development languages:

  • PHP
  • Perl
  • MySQL
  • Python
  • XML
  • Ruby
  • WordPress

If you are new to the world of web hosting, you will find Linux very attractive because it is open-source software and involves no costs. If you are looking for free open-source applications, Linux is the best option, as it provides several free desktop applications, snippets, tools, etc. This results in a drastic fall in your expenses compared to Windows web hosting.

It has been observed that Linux-based web servers have an edge over others because of their stability and robustness. Supported uptime is generally very high — almost 99.9% of system uptime can be achieved by properly managing the other factors (like power supply, technical support staff’s competence and network load).

If you need to move a site from a Linux-based platform to a Windows-based server, it will not be a huge problem. But doing it the other way around is very difficult.

Any file extension can be used in a website hosted by a Linux-based server (be it .html, .php, .xml, shtml or .cgi). Linux does not always work well with Windows-based applications. Thus, when deciding which platform to choose, you need to be well-informed about the specific requirements of the website being developed.

When we develop a new website, it is inevitable that as its popularity increases, there will be an impending demand for it to grow. The customers’ or clients’ various requirements will determine the dynamics of the website, and its pages will increase accordingly. Websites must be scalable without any significant changes. A Linux-based server ensures this.

Due to its evident advantages, Linux remains the uncrowned king of the web-hosting world.
