UK Dedicated Servers1 Crucial Steps To Choose a Dedicated Server – Part TwoIn Part One, we have seen the first two important points Reliability and Cost that are necessary to choose a perfect dedicated server for your website. In this part we will see other crucial aspects that needs to be consider when choosing a dedicated hosting.

Technical Support

Crucial issues such as downtime, DDos attacks and general issues with your server. It is very much important to communicate with your support team before buying a web server. You must be thinking that Why to consult with the support team?

Simply, because they want to test their response before making any investments. If you prefer not to send an email or make a call before making your purchase, and if the website you are considering has a support forum, then you can register and leave your technical question or visualize the questions posed earlier, so that you can get a better idea about the strength of the hosting providers technical support in response to your asked questions.

Longevity

Longevity is not usually listed as a priority for many new providers. Dedicated servers are solid, but is usually a better bet to search out since the period of time this provider is offering this service. To make sure about a particular company, simply make a “whois” domain search to know how old is this company in this business. It may be a good indicator that came to stay if there are already some time ago. Simply make your decision wisely choosing a host that is already in operation for years instead of one that is starting now. In some of the cases, the new hosting providers are more engaged and work harder for your business by offering really great global support.

Network

Having a fast and active server is must for a website to perform well on Internet. Unluckily, not every network is fast, safe and high quality. When you choose your server, it is necessary to find out who is the ISP that fulfills your Internet requirement. As well as you need to confirm about the speed and the bandwidth provided by that Internet Service Provider. Many networks have succumbed due to ups too weak to cause a literal crawl the servers when there is a peak traffic. In addition, you will need to find out if the server you are buying will be protected by a hardware firewall or if that is an optional service. Take this into consideration that if your server comes under any sort of attack and if the server is not protected by any kind of firewall you may suffer really a huge breakdown.

This is definitely not a complete guideline but a brief summary of what needs to be consider when choosing the UK Dedicated Servers for your website hosting requirements.

An Overview On Dedicated Hosting

Filed under: Dedicated Servers — Tags: , , , , — @ 12:37 pm

domain name web hosting An Overview On Dedicated HostingThe dedicated hosting is a smart choice if you have determined the need for an entire server and internet connection specifically allocated to the activity of your business. Shared servers can be cheaper and require less commitment but compared to the problems you may encounter, it is always good to choose dedicated hosting. Without a dedicated host, you can have problems with speed, reliability and ability to customize your site.

Speed

The response time of a server in a shared hosting depends on the importance of the activity of other sites with which your company shares the space. A dedicated hosting gives you greater control of the response time of your server and effectively solve other problems that may arise.

Reliability

As part of a space, with dedicated hosting you have unlimited access to the operating system and programs databases. This gives you a reliable way to meet the needs of your customers – that’s all you need! UK Dedicated Servers can also provide better security for your site, protecting you and the concerns related to sharing a single server.

Personalization

As as your company grows, your website will grow accordingly. Choosing a dedicated hosting allows you to adapt the constitution of your site, increase bandwidth and update your hard disk if required.

A shared service can be less expensive, but not the solution to what you are looking for. Although dedicated hosting may be more expensive per month, but it will cost you more in profits and customer accounts if you do not analyze your needs sufficiently in advance.

Here is a short list of what you’ll absolutely need to have, no matter what web host package you choose.

Important Aspect Notch Support

To evaluate if the support is good or not just try them out by asking some question and see whether they answer your questions quickly or not and you understand the “language” of answers or not. Are they available 24 hours?

To check whether you can keep in touch with them at any point of time you can test them out over a few days or a week to make sure they really are available.

You will always need guaranteed uptime because you will always like to see how often is your website  functioning properly.  Having no uptime, is something like purchasing a car with out fuel tank so it is just useless.

Choosing Windows Or Linux Hosting Platform

Filed under: web hosting — Tags: , , , — @ 11:47 am

linux windows Choosing Windows Or Linux Hosting PlatformPeople who are into online business are pretty familiar with the thing that there are two different web hosting environment which are Linux and windows hosting environment. Linux hosting platform is widely used but there are some webmaster who prefer Windows  hosting platform.

Choosing hosting platform depends on the applications and tools that are used to develop the website. If the site is developed by using ASP, FrontPage, or .NET environment, or windows media component like Windows Streaming Media, Microsoft based databases like Access, MSSQL,  or any of the other Microsoft’s technologies then Windows Hosting plans are chosen. Linux hosting is preferred only if the above applications are not used. If the website is developed by using PHP, MySQL etc. then Linux hosting will be suitable. i.e. if the website is bases on OpenSource architecture like PHP, MySQL,  Joomla, Mambo etc. then Linux hosting packages will work well to fulfill the requirements.

Linux Hosting is pretty much cheaper then Windows Hosting solutions. It is easy to manage the  accounts with Linux hosting accounts, rather than Windows. The user get cPanel as control panel for  managing the Linux hosting package. With Reseller, VPS or Dedicated hosting account, the user get WHM/cPanel for managing the high-end hosting accounts. With WHM, the small accounts can be created under master account of Linux hosting plans where the user will get Plesk as control panel which can manage all the hosting accounts.
Linux Hosting works on LAMP feature which stands for:
L ->Linux OS.
A -> Apache its the HTTP web server.
M -> MySQL its multi-threaded, multi-user, SQL DataBase Management System.
P -> PHP/Perl/Python supports these scripting languages.

The user can have basic Shared, Reseller, VPS or Dedicated hosting plans as per requirement. If the user need to have root/Administrative RDP  access to the server, then VPS or Dedicated server hosting plans can be considered. Shared/Reseller hosting plans don’t have root/Administrative RDP access, the user will have basic/limited access to the account for shared or affordable web hosting packages. If the site is having low traffic then shared hosting plans can be considered. If the advance features like Email Hosting account are required, the user can’t have them with shared hosting packages but if you go for VPS or Dedicated hosting, you will not need to pay any extra amount of money for Email Hosting or even if the site is having heavy traffic, you will need to consider higher hosting plans for better benefits.

Some of the SEO experts are also suggesting to host the websites on SEO servers and i have hosted some of the websites on SEO Servers and they are also pretty much beneficial but we never know what technology this new search engines will adapt resulting a great loss for the SEO.

Slowly all the main concepts in the SEO are loosing its identity.Now Meta tags are not considered by the google, new algorithm considers the geographic location of the user with the demographic location, domain age is also one factor in the search.We can surely expect more from Google which can include results based on individual idea of search.
