Saturday, April 30th, 2011

Many of the most active and productive web site builder and developers have a lot to say about this question. Many of them will do equally as well with Windows Hostingas in its more popular competition, Linux. They say that it all depends on what you are trying to do with your pages.

Linux does do the job and that is why it is the more popular. Windows, even though it is a paid for system, uses most of the same programs and scripts and even has a few that it can claim for its own. This makes a decision about which one to use a difficult one.

A Brief Look at Reseller Hosting

Friday, April 15th, 2011

This is a very good way to start your own Internet business! Everyone that needs to put a web site up needs to have a hosting company, so why shouldn’t you be the one that offers that service to them? The average person stays with a web hosting company for more than one year so there is some stability in your income.

So, what is a Reseller Hosting account? You buy a certain amount of disk space with a hosting company that offers a reseller account (they don’t all offer it) and then you promote that space to others as the “-insert your name- Web Hosting company”! You are the web hosting company as you rent some of the space that you are paying for and get this:  You don’t really do any of the day-to-day work!

Just think about that. You get monthly fees from as many people as you can promote to, those fees balance out the fees that you pay each month with a lot left over and you are not doing anything after the initial communication with your client.

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

People often hear the term shared hosting, but do not fully understand what this entails.With the advent of the availability of fantastic technology on the internet, we are now finding that many people have their own websites and blogs. For this to have come about, hosting companies have been created to provide all the backroom services necessary for all the technology to come together and produce the finished article, i.e. the website.

Obviously, the costs involved to allow a website to appear on the internet are considerable when done as an individual project. However, the hosting companies have devised a method of allowing many websites to come to one server.

The server offers all the necessary tools to get the website up and running, whilst mitigating the costs by having many people share one server with the hosting company. This means that the costs of providing all the services required are spread over many hundreds of website owners who all want to keep their costs down.
