Web Hosting asked:


Looking at the cost involved ranging from $150 – $1000 per month why is that dedicated web hosting such a huge punch on the business web hosting market? Is paid web hosting worth it?

Now what is dedicated web hosting? Dedicated web hosting is having one single server rented to a single customer by the webhosting provider. Virtual dedicated servers and co-location web hosting are two similar solutions relatively familiar in the web hosting industry. In virtual dedicated server hosting plans one does not get an entire computer just for oneself this means that the virtual server shares the resources of a web server computer with other customers of the web hosting provider. There are many similarities between both Co-locating web hosting and virtual dedicated servers but the main difference is that, in co-locating web hosting the customer owns the web server computer and web-hosting provider only houses the web server computer and sells bandwidth to the customer whereas in dedicated web hosting the web server computer belongs to the web-hosting provider and is only rented by the customer.

When single web server is rented to a single customer it is called real dedicated web hosting.

For businesses that work with high traffic, dedicated web hosting is the idyllic way out. Application required for its operation and functionalities of web site falls under ones specific control.

There are many advantages of dedicated webhosting:

• Concerns regarding the maintenance, the security, and the reliability of ones web server are all handled by hosting provider.

• One doesn’t have to bother about maintaining the hardware and the connectivity of the computer as it is on rent and not been purchased

• One is freed from replacing the component or solving the problem, as everything is provider’s responsibility

• One gets compensations as part of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) by most o f the web hosting providers.

• In the occurrence of failure one may get reimbursement with the cost of ones hosting plan for a month or a fraction of it, depending upon the severity of the failure.

• When compared to having to pay for the component and for the technical support required for actually replacing the component, while web site in not online all these advantages seems quiet good as at the day end one will just be paying for functional hardware.

Imagine the business with all the resources being saved on the above maintenance issues. One can choose between “managed” or “unmanaged” service levels as the costs of administering and maintaining the web server one has taken on rent will vary depending upon the web hosting provider.

One can choose “managed” dedicated hosting which means one will have access to “control panel” if one is uncomfortable with the technical expertise required by the management of a web server computer. All the essential tasks required to be performed by the proper functioning of ones web server via a simply point-and-click user-friendly interface are allowed by control panel.

This way one can setup, administer and maintain all the web sites on web server without knowing or typing any command lines nor having any in depth knowledge of the operating system.

Those with great degree of technical expertise in mastering a root access to the server can go for “unmanaged” option. “Unmanaged” option offers complete server administration, thus having possibility of configuring every service on the web server. But if necessary services are not configured properly it may result in failure of system. Due to these reasons unmanaged dedicated hosting is recommended for only people having solid server administration background or for web developers who require custom applications for their web sites, or a customized environment. Thus people having dedicated server computer’s stability will not be prone to the plagues affecting shared web hosting solutions.

Imagine-

-errors in programming usually made by the beginners,

- Or overload i.e. server being crowded with applications and components required by the other customers

- Or in a shared web server when the processor time and the installed memory are both shared by the software applications needed by the other users.

Instant support is provided to its customers when required by the dedicated web hosting whether managed or unmanaged which is not possible on a shared hosting plans where one will be facing delays and possible additional technical support fees.

If one is having prompt support service from ones side then the customers will be happy and at the same time there will be growth in business. For those doing business in web designing advantage to have his own dedicated server is priceless not because he will be able to offer pure hosting services, but because he will able to offer them packaged with the web design activity also. When one is having access to web server for 24 hours, then within minutes one can modify a website for a customer or upload a new one.

If complete web presence solution, design and hosting, is offered by the studio to a customer there is chance of that customer being regular this is an added advantage.

The benefits of a good dedicated web hosting are:-

• Businesses solutions being translated into sales growth

• Better customer relationship results to improved company image

• Reduced cost compared with in-house web hosting solution, and so on.

• One can run a better business and better business gives good profit.

Something About Virtual Private Servers (vps) Web Hosting

Filed under: Web Hosting — Tags: , , — admin @ 8:01 pm
Bluehost Hosting asked:


For the purpose of multiple webs hosting customers the role of providing features of a dedicated server is done by Virtual Private Server (VPS), or also known as Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS). At first look it may possess a contradictory appeal; how one can have a dedicated server which is being served by multiple users? Isn’t it looking like a regular shared or virtual hosting environment? There is nothing to contradict in the statement that, with a Virtual Private Server the user has to share system resources for e.g. CPU and RAM with other users but the resources are owed and modified in such a manner that it is impossible to predict that the system possess someone besides the user on it, to a large extent ideally like a dedicated server. Thus resources are modified and arranged in such a way that each hosting client is allowed to exploit an allocated percent, means the resources assigned to a particular user will always be there all time ready to serve him/her.

Merits of Virtual Private Server (VPS) web hosting

Majority of users prefer complete command of their server environments and do not wish to share the server with several other users, who could easily exploit all the available resources and can cause problem to other users by creating unbalance. But at the same time several websites do not require a dedicated server. The Virtual Private Server (VPS) alternative is a very fabulous slot hosting solution for a fairly large lump of web hosting clients who prefer the stability of a dedicated server however on a smaller scale. With the resources setup in such a way that each person can only use what is in his/her own share, one’s site will be more steady because it will always have the same amount of access to the CPU, memory, as well as to the bandwidth. Virtual Private Servers are preferably more safe since even as the user share the memory and CPU time, he/she are allocated his/her own file system. For an instance, if a website on the server is hacked, the hackers will be able to admit to that particular file system only and can not harm the other existing websites. Besides all these advantages, A VPS is also affordable as compared to a dedicated server.

Demerits of Virtual Private Server (VPS) web hosting

As till now discussion was on the pros of a VPS and one might think that this is the finest thing .But there is another side of the coin as well as, not all providers setup or define Virtual Private Servers, also known as Virtual Dedicated Servers, the exact same way. One should ensure that provider guarantees the user that their setup is robust enough to knob the operations at a peak level. A commonly prevailing trick generally put into use by the providers in the field of reselling and shared space is ‘overselling’. It denotes selling more in terms of services than what is physically available, with the gamble that the end users wouldn’t exhaust up all the service that were advertised in front of them. In the dominion of VPS this can be a bit more severe, as at least the expectation is that one is working in a more vigorous environment and there are many clients running more intensive applications like message boards or custom web applications. A shortage of resources could result in causing problems for each one hosted on such a server, therefore evading the benefits of a VPS. In a mutual or dedicated environment the user might be able to access more quantity of resources during peak or spike periods but since the VPS environment restricts the user to use his/her own piece of server resources, it can come in front as a drawback.

With dynamic and changing technology web hosting is not sufficient, in the same manner there are some problems with VPS services also. The user has to tackle with the problems of CPU cycles and RAM distant for storing of space and bandwidth. So the user will see advertisements for hosting that might include MHz and MB RAM to go with the usual hosting related features. It is something difficult to calculate out how much CPU time or RAM the user might require, so one must look for a hosting provider that will provide him/her with some benchmarks and the ability to upgrade or downgrade the VPS service as and when required.

JUDGMENT:

- Permits complete control of user’s virtual server and its resources

- Permits the user to run web applications without unfavorably affecting other clients

- Flexible – cheaper than dedicated hosting, more expensive than shared

So Go ahead and best of luck!!!

Equalizing Virtual Dedicated Hosting

Filed under: Web Hosting — Tags: , , — admin @ 8:48 pm
Web Hosting asked:


In today’s market scenario almost 99% of webmasters are familiar with the word “shared” web hosting accounts. Talking in real what is a shared hosting account? It is a place where one can rent a small quantity of space on a particular server which he/she has to share with other users.

One can say it is a cheap way to begin an online business but user will surely have to face several disadvantages afterwards. The problem that may happen afterwards includes inefficiency in email delivery due to spam problem. One will find his/her site coming to a pause when someone else will try heavy database work on his/her server. There are several other reasons as well which can cause a site to go down example due to a denial of service attack against someone else hosting hacking or piracy related material on one’s server.

Prevention:

Now we are going to discuss how we are going to prevent all this. By upgrading to a virtual dedicated server is a possible prevention against this problem. A virtual dedicated server helps in successful running of one’s site in the same manner as if one is having his/her own “dedicated” server. The plus point with virtual dedicated server is that it is really cheaper as compared to own server.

One can find virtual dedicated server accounts for as less as mere $30 per month. Not only that in addition one will get more amount of bandwidth as compared to shared hosting, and that too without any problem of shared hosting. One will also receive multiple IP addresses that are exclusive to his/her sites.

Thus one can get tremendous amount of benefits by just spending little more. However as like a coin here too is a second side. The main disadvantage of upgrading to virtual dedicated hosting is that one will has to be more technically sound as he/she has to administer his/her server by own.

Thus for administration one will have to learn necessary Linux skills to make sure that his/her server runs in a proper way.

There are several host providers offering “premium” support that includes a bit more hand holding. It is mainly recommended if the user is not having good experience with Linux, or if he/she is a beginner for virtual dedicated hosting.

Thus at the end we can conclude that with the increased speed and bandwidth that a virtual dedicated host is offering and that too without any disadvantages of the shared hosting headaches, it is now on the user to decide what is best for him/her. We wish best of luck!

Categories of Web Site Hosting

Filed under: Web Hosting — Tags: , , — admin @ 10:45 am
Bluehost Hosting asked:


Foremost one must determine the meaning of the word “hosting”.

So, how can one define hosting?

It generates from the word “host” which has different meanings that are familiar to everyone. Hosting denotes providing place for a person’s website on the web hosting company’s servers and making it viewable on the Internet and suspending it.

Why can a user once need hosting?

For an instance suppose one has created a website and now is in a dilemma how his/her friends and acquaintances can notice it. Now he has placed it on his/her personal computer, but then he/she came to know that it’s risky for the computer’s safety and requires permanent Internet connection. This results in plenty of inconveniences for the user. To avoid such sort of things, there is requirement of web site hosting.

There are several kinds of web site hosting. They can be systematically analyzed by looking below:

Joint or virtual hosting

Devoted hosting/ server, Co-location

VDS/VPS –Virtual Dedicated Server/Virtual Private Server

One should before choosing any type of web hosting must consider the following things:-

Free Shared hosting

If one wants to host some non-profit making or his/her personal web site it’d be more gainful to use basic shared hosting for zero amount of fee. This kind of web site hosting is rather logical alternative not only if the user is a beginner in web site building rather if he/she wants to try some innovative ideas and don’t wish to pay for it. However of course the user doesn’t have to assume it to grant his/her site the best conditions, for e.g. proper bandwidth, disk space etc.

Various other features are also there which needs consideration like MySQL, PHP support etc. It moreover gives poor web statistics.

Paid shared hosting

It is quite true that almost all sort of small businesses, intermediate and large professional sites employ shared hosting, because they do not require the whole server’s space and further the whole server costs which are quite high. With shared/virtual hosting such vital features, as multiply e-mail, MySQL, PHP, are supported. The main drawback is decline of one’s site’s security.

Dedicated hosting /Server

It is considered to be an ideal hosting for those, who require much storage and bandwidth and are good in server administration. With this one is in a condition of using all necessary software, but if a user doesn’t possess adequate knowledge to administrate his/her server it will be a little bit difficult for him/her.

Co-location

It can be termed as a sub type of dedicated hosting and can be compared with user’s own house which was put into existence particularly for him/her, along with his/her preferred furniture and all. It’s built on the user’s hosters (ISP) ground. This service is implied to fulfill only a particular user’s tasks and is designed for fulfilling his/her needs alone. Likewise, its cost is equally high.

VDS/ VPS

Virtual private server is a sort of web site hosting that is rooted on dividing a physical server into several virtual ones. It possesses comparatively less price though gives same promise as dedicated server. Now at this point of time after looking at all the pros and cons one can easily decide as to which host services to choose as per his/her needs.

Virtual Private Server Hosting at Bns Hosting

Filed under: Web Hosting — Tags: , , — admin @ 10:38 pm
BNS Hosting asked:


If you are looking for multi-tenancy, virtualization, resource management, and clustering, you can try virtual private server hosting. Virtual private server or commonly known as virtual dedicated server allows resellers to fully control and allocate resources to their customer. Virtual dedicated server hosting acts as a bridge between shared web hosting services and dedicated server hosting services. Using VPS hosting, you are providing high levels of control which has currently become the most popular option for resellers.

The biggest advantage of using VPS hosting, is its cheaper cost compared to dedicated server. And, it generally runs its own copy of operating system with customers having super-user-level access. You as the “owner” of the VPS can install almost any software that runs on the OS. Reasons you might consider when choosing VPS are:

The media. When you have just started your business, you have your shared server hosting. But soon you have to expand and outgrow the features of your online business, that will need more web space, memory, etc. You have the option to choose between dedicated server and VPS. Dedicated hosting is expensive, so you will choose VPS.

More power. In VPS, you are actually availing the services of a dedicated server that has been partitioned into a number of servers. Here, you get more bandwidth, memory, space and more control.

Cost efficient. Since VPS gives you the advantages of a dedicated server hosting, but at a lower cost, this hosting service is the best hosting plan if you are considering the cost.

Complete root access: Just like a dedicated server, the virtual private server gives you unlimited root access. This means that you have the complete freedom to configure your website without impacting other websites. By the same coin, any changes made by websites sharing your server will have no impact on your website. Because of this, you can eliminate the risk of downtime due to mistakes committed by others. Since private servers are virtually invisible to each other, your website enjoys complete functional isolation.

Total security: Just like dedicated servers, virtual servers do not share their space with other customers. Thus, you enjoy total security.

While deciding on whom/where to purchase the VPS hosting service, you should try to ask the following questions:

1. What are the specifications of the host server, the RAM, the CPU, the processor, the disk space provided, the bandwidth, and if they can provide you on how many VPS is already running in the host server.?

2. How is resource contention handled? What if one of the VPS are running out of disk space, how do you deal with these?

If you are considering hosting your own website, sharing a virtual private server is a very viable option. You will want to make sure that you are fully aware of any server side restrictions, such as maximum amount of CPU and network resources available, but many virtual private server hosts provide more than enough for nearly any website. The factors that you can consider when choosing the virtual private server hosting are, the cost, the security, and the efficiency. The only disadvantage here is, if you are not aware on how to manage your own server, you might want to choose the shared hosting service. Anyway, if the hosting company that will host your virtual private server has 24/7 technical support, you can ask them anytime, on how you must handle the server.

With BNS VPS hosting service, you control your virtualized dedicated server via Microsoft’s RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) and install applications on your server. You create your own user authentication database and use your dedicated IP address. This dedicated IP address isolates your server from common problems associated with shared hosting —shared  IP address being listed in spam blacklists. For more information about virtual private server hosting service, you can visit BNS Hosting’s site. And talk to one of our hosted solutions expert 24/7.
