Infinite Expandability

In the cloud hosting environment , even if you were to use an entire web server’s resources, you could still have instant expandability and high performance retrieved from another server on the network. This ‘floating’ command and server load distribution method is what has earned ‘cloud’ hosting its name. Although this hosting environment is ideal for professional businesses and large corporations , it is also suitable for small business and novice webmasters as well. The following information outlines some of the ways cloud hosting can be beneficial to even the most inexperienced and least demanding webmasters.

Comfortable Billing

Most novice webmasters want to keep their startup costs low and minimize the risk of investing in something that is not going to return a profit, as such, they’re afraid to commit to more powerful hosting plans like dedicated hosting. On the same token, there is also a fear of not being able to accommodate the needs of a rapidly growing and successful web site, which is every webmasters ultimate goal. The cloud hosting environment gives webmasters access to unlimited resources, yet only charges them for the resources that are used each month. Thus, you never have to worry about having too little, and you never have to worry about paying too much. This unique billing structure ensures a risk-free investment and gives aspiring entrepreneurs a reassurance that they’re efforts are not being contributed to ephemeral endeavors.

Extensive Features

Being a novice webmaster doesn’t mean you have to settle for less. Cloud hosting gives you the perfect starting point while also providing all of the resources need to facilitate a smooth transmission from novice to intermediate. Instead of focusing on upgrades and the needs of your site, you can put your energy towards the progression of your web sites and your online business in general, knowing that when needed there will be an abundance of server resources available to maintain optimal performance at all times. Even though less extensive plans are available at lower costs than cloud VPS hosting, these plans cannot provide the expandability and infinite scalability that cloud hosting cam. If you want to make your entrance into the web hosting community with the latest and greatest technology available then you should definitely consider the advantages of cloud VPS hosting.]]>

Some hosting types are more suitable for multiple domain hosting, and one of the best choices for any webmaster that wishes to diversify their web presence is VPS (Virtual private Server) hosting. The following information outlines some of the main reasons why VPS hosting is perfect for multiple domain hosting.

Unlimited Expandability

Predicting the fate and server needs of a single web site can be difficult, and trying to do this with multiple sites that are constantly expanding is even more difficult, if not impossible. Sadly, most hosting companies and hosting types do not allow for simple expansion without an actual hosting upgrade. VPS hosting differs because the plan can be expanded on the spur of the moment without the need for an additional investment, or any kind of foresight on behalf of the webmaster. Cloud VPS hosting is particularly suitable for an ever expanding online business because it can be expanded instantly due to the unlimited nature of the cloud server environment.

Software Compatibility

A lot of hosting plans do not let you install new software on the web server, especially shared hosting plans. Fortunately, having a VPS hosting plan is like having access to a private web server that you’re free to experiment with and install as much software as you’d like on. This can be particularly beneficial when managing multiple sites in separate niches, as each site may need a different software that specializes in the administration of a specific type of web site. For example, if you own a forum, you may want to install a robust forum management software, however you may also need an eCommerce solution for one of your retail sites. VPS hosting combines the best of shared hosting (cost) and dedicated hosting (freedom) to bring you the perfect multiple domain hosting solution.

Cost and Support

Owning multiple domains is hard enough without the stress of paying multiple hosting bills each month. By centralizing your hosting expenses with a comprehensive VPS plan, you can not only provide better support for your web sites through enhanced organization, you can also eliminate much of the cost associated with owning and operating more than one site. A good VPS hosting plan starts at about $20 per month, which is a deal considering all of the aforementioned advantages of VPS hosting for multiple domains.

Aside from saving time and money, you’ll also have a more reliable hosting plan because VPS hosting operates in a secure hosting environment that is based on redundancy and diversification of server loads. This means you’ll never have to worry about your web server crashing or any of your sites being taken offline.]]>

Dedicated hosting plans are perhaps the most common culprits in terms of under usage. Most people that have a dedicated hosting plan do not use more than half of their available server resources, and therefore waste a great deal do money each month. Knowing how and when to downgrade is an important aspect of conserving your budget resources and optimizing your hosting situations. The following information teaches you how to tell when it is time for a downgrade, while also revealing some alternatives to dedicated hosting that may be more suitable for you.

Steady Surplus

If you find that you have a steady surplus of server resources each month, and your empire of sites and traffic levels are not increasing rapidly, then it may be time to consider a downgrade. You can check the amount of server resources your account is currently consuming within the main section of your hosting control panel (usually on the top of the left navigation bar). To the contrary, if you’re gradually approaching the limit of your hosting capabilities then it may be time to schedule an upgrade. While it is recommended to have more than you need on hand in case of a rapid traffic surge, a good rule of thumb is – downgrade when you’re consistently using less than 50% of your plan’s capabilities. If you’re unsure about the total amount of server resources you’re currently consuming in relation to your plan limits, then you should call your hosting company to inquire about this as soon as possible.

Downgrade Decision

After deciding to downgrade, it can be difficult to select a plan, as everything else may seem substandard in comparison. Fortunately, since you already have a hosting plan, you should have access to the aforementioned server analysis stats in your control panel that will let you know exactly how much power you’re using. After determining how much you’re currently using, try to find a plan that offers at least 30% more than what you currently have. This will give you enough room for expansion, while also preventing a complete waste of money and energy. In most cases, you’ll want to consider downgrading to a VPS or reseller hosting plan, as these are the most similar to dedicated hosting. A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a mix between shared and dedicated, whereas a reseller plan gives you the ability to brand and resell some of your hosting resources.

Consider Cloud Computing

If a structured billing schedule does not appeal to you and you would like to try something more flexible, you may want to consider cloud hosting. Cloud hosting is based on cloud computing, which pools entire networks of servers to bring you unlimited and instant expandability and scalability, while only charging you for the exact amount you use each month. This eliminates the guess work, save s you time and money, and ensures that you always have access to the server resources you need.]]>

What is FTP?

FTP Stands for File Transfer Protocol so basically it's a set standard of rules for transferring data between computers,wether in a network situation or over the internet.

Why use FTP?

Windows Shares/Samba shares are good when you just want to share files in a network,in a certain workgroup. Though what if you wish to share files over the internet? Or to devices that aren't in your workgroup? With FTP,your files are accessed through an FTP Client which accesses your server through an IP Adress which makes sharing files simple. It's also fantastic to use when you use multiple Operating systems!

What you'll need:
- Windows Based Machine (XP or Server 2008 Recomended)
- Filezilla Server (Download)
- An FTP Client (I Use WinSCP )
-Proper Firewall (I Use Comodo) - OPTIONAL

Instructions:

1. First decide wether or not you will want to use your files over the internet. If the answer is YES,Please download a proper firewall. If not,skip to section 3.

2. Download and install your firewall. You will need to configure it to allow traffic over Port 21 both in and out!

3. Download and install Filezilla Server,once installed the config UI Will Appear

4. Go up to 'Edit' > 'groups' , the groups window will appear:
5. Now click add and type the name of the first group,in this case we will create an admin group,so call it 'admin'.



6. Now to the side,click on the 'Shared folders' link and add your shared folder. For this tutorial just create a folder on the desktop and call it data. Once the folder has been added,to the side make sure all 8 Boxes are ticked (Read,Write,Delete,append,,Create,Delete,List and + subdirs),now click ok.^

7.Go up to 'Edit' > 'users' , the users window will appear
8. Now click add and type in the name Admin and put it in the Admin group we created earlier. Now if you wish to password protect this user,simply tick the password box and input your password.*

9. Now that the server is running and a basic admin usergroup and user account has been created,put some files into the data folder we created.

10.I Recomend that your server has a static I.P Adress (This is required if you are sharing your data over the internet) To do this:'

XP: Start>Control panel>Network Connections> Right click onto the network interface your server will be using and click properties. Highlight 'Internet Protcol (tcp/ip)' and click on properties,now simply enter a Static IP,Gateway IP and The DNS IP.

Vista/7: Start>Control Panel>Network and sharing center>Change Adapter Settings>Right click onto the network interface your server will be using and click properties. Highlight 'Internet Protcol Version 4 (tcp/ipv4)' and click on properties,now simply enter a Static IP,Gateway IP and The DNS IP.

Now take note of the IP Adress you set!

11. Now the server has a basic Server config,go ahead and try the FTP Server from another PC on the network,simply open the FTP Client of your choice (I Recomend WinSCP) and use the IP Adress you set,port 21 and the admin username (And a password if you set one!) to log in. You should now be logged in!

Now if you only wanted to share your info over our network,you are done! Go back and add more Users and Groups if you wish and your files to the data folder! If you wish to share your files over the internet you are going to have to Forward Port 21 (Or DMZ The Server)]]>
