Webhosting Guide

Posted by Adheeth On June - 29 - 2007ADD COMMENTS

It’s a tough choice to decide about the web hosts, Which one to choose from. I believe everyone can decide which hosting to choose, Which one is good etc if they can understand more about web hosting. The idea is pretty simple. When you are born you dosen’t know to differentiate between good and wrong. You learn and also from experience you make out what’s good and what’s bad. In case of web hosting bad experiences are certain with some hosting with severe downtimes, Poor support etc. You simply cant waste you money on hosts to decide whether it’s good. So I suggest it’s good to learn what web hosting is?

What Is Webhosting?

Whenever you visit a website, what you see on your web browser is essentially just a web page that is downloaded from the web server onto your web browser(Eg: this very on Page). In general, a web site is made up of many web pages. And a web page is basically composed of texts and graphic images. All these web pages need to be stored on the web servers so that online users can visit your website. From a web server different users from different locations can view the page at the same time.

If you are planning to host a website, then you would definitely need a web host(web server) to start with.A Company that provides web space or web servers to host your website/web pages is called a Hosting Provider. A good hosting provider hosts thousands of websites in their servers(there will be lots of servers).If you are wondering what a server is, It’s basically a computer.In order to guarantee all the web servers are safe, secure and fully operational all time, a data center is a physically secure 24/7 environment with fire protection, HVAC temperature control, virus detections, computer data backup, redundant power backup and complete disaster recovery capabilities.

Different Types of Web Hosting

  • Shared Hosting
    Shared Hosting is also called virtual hosting.Many websites will be sharing the space on the same physical web servers. Depending on the web host, a physical web server can hosts a few hundred to even thousands of different websites at one time. You may wonder if a physical web server is shared by so many websites, will the performance of the web server deteriorate? In fact, web servers are usually equipped with high-end powerful computer, therefore it can support up to a certain number of websites without any problem. But when the web server is overloaded and exceeded the reasonable number of websites that it can support, then you will begin to experience a slower response from the web server.
  • Dedicated Hosting
    In dedicated hosting a specific web server is to be used by only one customer. The customer has the option to host single or multiple web sites, modify the software configuration, handle greater site traffic and scale the bandwidth as necessary. Dedicated hosting commands a higher Price and typically starts at $30 per month and can range up to $100 – $1000 per month depending upon the server hardware configuration,web space,bandwidth etc . As a result, dedicated hosting is regularly used by high traffic and extremely important website.
  • Co-location hosting
    The customer owns the web server hardware and only housed their web server within the web hosting provider’s secure data center. In this way, the customer has full control over their web server and simultaneously benefit from the 24/7 server monitoring and maintenance provided by the secure data center. Depending on the monthly bandwidth and rack space required, typically co-location hosting range from $500 – $1000 per month.
  • Reseller hosting
    A web hosting provider offers web server storage to third-party (i.e. reseller) at a discount price, who then resell the web server storage to its customers. Resellers are generally web designers, web developers, or system integration company who resell the web hosting as a add-on service to complement their other range of services. Commonly, resellers can receive up to 50 percent discount on the price of a hosting account from the web hosting provider. And resellers are allowed to decide its own pricing structure and even establish its own branding.It’s more or like a reseller setup its web hosting company on the Internet and start selling web hosting plans under its brand with space bought from other web hosting provider.
    To the resellers Customer a reseller is it’s Hosting provider and contacts the reseller for any issues related to hosting,server down times etc who inturn contact the Real hosting Provider(from which reseller has bought web space). Resellers will not have solid company backgrounds and their hosting services will be minimum(they wont offer high bandwidth hosting).

What Exactly is a Blog?

Posted by Adheeth On June - 29 - 20072 COMMENTS

I’m not sure I should be writing about this, But i Understand that half of my readers are quite new to the world of Hosting,Blogs and Domains. Since I Have been taking a lot about blogs rather than websites, One of my readers asked me What exactly is a Blog?I wasnt quite sure how to explain. After a Moment’s thought i explained it’s something like an Online Diary(too lame an explanation) where people share in their thoughts, but maybe a good explanation for a noob. Blogs are these days Much more than Personnel with content crafting to a wide area of internet.

What is a Blog?
A blog is exactly another type of website and short form for web log. It allows the website owner/ Website authour to easily write messages(posts) that get posted to the website. It can be compared to a Diary because the posts are often in a journal or diary-like style(Intially blogs where made to serve as a online Diary like thing).A particularly appealing thing about blogs is that your readers can comment back to your posts fairly easily making blogs interactive. Blog the very name gives a personnel touch.What you write in a Blog can easily be accessed with a special program called a RSS reader(real simple syndication).

Blogs are highly interactive. There is usually more editorial freedom associated with blogs and the topic or content often overlooked. Blogs are regarded to be the most powerful source of expression of thought these days. Even Some Companies have clearly laid down policies for blogging for their employees. Thousands of Blogs are born daily and it will be soon the biggest source of information online. Citizen Journalists / Bloggers are stirring the World with real time reporting. When posting to a blog you will notice that it is arranged in chronological order – with the most recent additions on top.

What makes a blog popular is it’s simplicity to start and the simplicity of usage. A person who dosen’t even have any programming experience can pretty easily host a blog. Blogs can turn pretty spicy with Discussions heating up.Blog survives by it’s user interaction. Majority of Bloggers if they visit a blog they are sure to comment on topics that strike him.

RSS and How to Subscribe

Posted by Adheeth On June - 29 - 2007ADD COMMENTS

RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication and Rich Site Summary. RSS is an XML-based format for content distribution. Webmasters create an RSS file containing headlines and descriptions of specific information.

RSS is becoming increasing popular. The reason is fairly simple.RSS is a free and easy way to promote a site and its content without the need to advertise or create complicated content sharing partnerships. An RSS document, which is called a “feed,” “web feed,” or “channel,” contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that’s easier than checking them manually.

With Excerpts from Wikipedia & RSS Specifications

How to Subcribe to RSS?

To subscribe to RSS is pretty simple. Identify the Feed Url. For Eg For Earn Money Online the default feed for wordpress is

http://www.adheeth.com/feed/

and I also use feedburner to track the no of subscribers. The feed url for that is

http://feeds.feedburner.com/adheeth

From a Blog/Website you are planning to subscribe you have to identify the Feed URL. It can be Image Like this

Or there can be ATOMS, XML etc in a page.Identify them from the Page and then if it’s a image or Link, Right click it and Copy Image Location(in Firefox) and Copy Shortcut(In IE) to get the feed URL. Once you have the feed URL it’s easy to subscribe to RSS.

You have two choices to Subscribe. Either use a Desktop Subscription or An Online Subscription. To Use Online Subscription You can use Many websites to feed / Bookmark your Rss. The Major One I use is Google Reader. In Google Reader Sign In and there is a link on the side which says Add Subscription and paste your Feed Url and Enter. The Website/Blog Feed you Entered is now Subscribed.

If you are Looking for desktop Subscription you can use Feed Reader. Install it and repeat the procedure as you Did for Online Subscription. Whichever be the Client you just have to Enter the Feed URL. The feed will automatically be Subscribed.

Simple Isnt it? Start Subscribing to To Earn MONEY ONLINE Blog by Adheeth. Copy the URL http://feeds.feedburner.com/adheeth to your Feed Reader and Start reading Earn Money Online Blog Posts.

How to get Started?

It’s Easy to get started. If you are planning for a website you need to own a domain and a webspace. If you are looking forward for a blog you can have it hosted in Blogspot , but I must say you need to have a Domain for must. A domain Costs less than $10(400 INR) and webspace costs depends upon the amount of space and bandwidth.

Where to Get Domain From?

When it comes to Domain. The Number one Choice Would be Godaddy.com. You need to Own a credit card to buy domain online our you can use a Paypal account to buy domains. A Top level TLD( .com, .net , .org) etc costs nearly $10 dollars to the maximum which is quite less considering the fact that you will be earning 10 times the investment. If you are Looking for Indian Domain Resellers I suggest Spritehost( If you know good Domain hosts Contact me, n I’ll Surely Write a review for your Domain Hosting).

Where to Get Webspace from?

This i feel is the most complicated question i need to tackle. Since ive been buying and changing webspaces all the time, i Suggest you to find a good host first itself. Once you website grows its hard to move the data as it can lead to severe website downtimes. I must say even if you spend some amount Initially in webspace get the best webspace.
I use Servage and i feel it’s great for anyone with a whooping 360GB space Online and 3600 GB of Online bandwidth and Unlimited domain hosting for about $6.45 a month.
(Contact me if you are webspace Provider and want to get listed in this Page).

Now What Next?

Once you have your domain and webspace.The next step is definitely building the site. You need to choose on a Niche for your website. Remember if you are trying to have a general blog you can even use your Name but if you are trying to be choosing i suggest your Domain should have the keyword. Start building your pages. If a website you can use many Content Management Systems or Portal Systems( both in one way means the same). Once you have Build some good quality content and Pages you may now consider of Monitzing your Blog/Website.

How to Monitize My Website?

The other Slow Moving sites in the network are Blanksms which was India’s First GSM mobile Community supported by India’s First WAP portal. The amount of bandwidth consumed by WAP site was quite huge and there was people stealing content from WAP site, also there was no means to earn using WAP site. I was left with only choice rather to bring down the wap portal as my personnel earnings wasnt enough to pay for the Huge bandwidth expenses. Now that im working and have the necessary Knowhow ive my site hosted in a Huge bandwith provider Servage
