Basic Concepts of Web Hosts

Basic Concepts of Web Hosts

The one who wants to enter in this web world and desires for a long time survival, then he/she should be familiar with each and every terminology used in this field. If user considers all the important factors before choosing a hosting plan then only he/she will be able to have a successful future in this world .User should not choose any of the plan, rather he/she should opt the best and most suitable one and this can only be made possible by fetching more and more informations and also by studying properly all the requirements. New comers should start from the basics .They should learn the meaning of each and every term used and also in addition those factors that can affect his/her selection.

Web Host

Web host refers to a computer connected to the internet. Web host can also be termed as ‘web server’. The computer that is playing the role of the web server needs to be more powerful than normal PCs and the function of this web server is to serve up websites.

The website content of the user will remain will on this computer, so as the people who are surfing on the internet can get a way to access his/her website.

There can be three main categories in which the web host can be classified based on the economic factor and common features:

1. Free Hosts:

The users who are not professional but are making website only as a hobby then for them free hosting can be a good option. In free hosting space, bandwidth and other features provided are very limited. With free web hosting one can not only make his/her website successful but is also suitable for personal websites or for temporary usage. Generally free hosting enforces pop-up, text or banner ads. Reliability, best performance and customer support lacks in case of free hosting as well. When a user registers for a free host then the word free host gets added with the user’s domain name that gives an adverse effect in the eye of the visitors.

2. Shared Hosts:

The next type of the web hosting to be discussed is shared hosting. This hosting service is used by many of the web sites .This type of hosting service is Suitable for personal, small and medium businesses. This service can be used by paying to per month. The features provided by this service vary from very limited space/bandwidth to semi-dedicated servers. The users host their website by this type of hosting service and it has its own top level domain facility. No doubt that shared web hosting is quite better than free hosting but still it does not provide 100% satisfactory services. In case of shared hosting one server is shared by the number of websites so its performance and availability gets affected. More websites usually means less performance. If less number of websites are hosted by one server then it will be more expensive, but in this case there are more chances of reliability. There are many companies allowing customers to host multiple websites with different domains under a single account.

3. Dedicated Hosts:

The next type of hosting is dedicated hosting. This type of hosting is most reliable hosting. In this type of hosting a full server is dedicated to a single customer. Generally this type of hosting is used by large businesses, professionals and very active websites dealing with thousands of visitors daily. The customers having dedicated hosting can have their total control over the server as well as able to create as many websites as they like. Customers can run their own hosting company on a rented dedicated server. Payment module is mentioned according to specifications and services provided with the server, which varies from 0 up to about 0 dollars per month.

4. Collocated Hosts:

Now the other type of hosting service to be discussed is collocated hosting. This service is very much similar to dedicated hosting. The difference between collocated hosting and dedicated hosting is that in collocated hosting the customer owns the server hardware instead of renting it. In this service the server will be placed in provider’s data center. This service is more expensive than dedicated hosting.

5. Reseller Hosts:

In reseller hosting the providers offers web server storage to their customers, and resells the web server storage to them. Generally providers offer resellers a discount price.

6. Other Hosts:

Including the above type of hosts there are also many other hosts such as email hosts, media hosts, data hosts, etc but these hosts will not be discussed in this article.

Domain Name

Domain name is the name which shows the place where one’s website is located. The actual address of the website is a set of numbers. Each and every web server has its own unique address. Domain name indicates the real addresses of every websites. One can easily remember the domain name of any of the website. Remembering domain name is easier than recalling the IP addresses.

Space / Storage

Space is one of the services provided by the web host. It plays a very important role in the website development. It happens many times that the customer requires more space but the host fails to provide it, so customer should be very careful while choosing the web host. Storage is the amount of web server’s disk space available for customer’s website files, images and databases. Space can be according to the requirement; it can be as small as 5MB in some free hosts and as big as 300GB for some dedicated servers. Earlier prices of the space were very high but prices reduced significantly during the last few years. The hosting plans offering 3GB of space for less than a month can be easily available.

Bandwidth

Bandwidth can be defined as the amount of data transferred from web server to clients’ internet browsers. When ever a person outlook a page the data is transmitted from the server to that person’ PC. If any one is having audio, video and images in his/her website then the bandwidth consumed is more in comparison of the website having only text contents. The bandwidth available in free hosting can be as low as 100MB per month where as in some dedicated servers the bandwidth available is as high as 2000GB a month. The customers who don’t want to pay more for bandwidth can easily find hosting plans offering 75GB of monthly data transfer for less than .

Server Type

Generally server means the operating system than runs the web server. Some common types are Windows, Linux and UNIX. Server type refers the server side scripting and database types. The difference between Windows server and Linux/UNIX is that Windows runs ASP and ASP.NET with Access or SQL Server databases where as Linux/UNIX servers usually runs CGI, PHP or JSP with MySQL or Oracle databases. The other difference is that Windows servers are more expensive than Linux/UNIX servers.

Databases

As server type is discussed earlier also, we are able to know that there are different types of databases available. The mostly used is MySQL as it is open source GPL (free) software and can serve a lot of online applications’ requirements such as forums, content management, mailing lists, etc. MySQL, rather its features are limited. MySQL is sufficient for small concern but it is not powerful for the complicated large business sites. Large business requires more powerful databases such as Oracle or SQL Server.

.

Server Side Scripting

Usually the new comers prefer to use PHP as server side scripting. The reason behind this is that there are hundreds of open source (GPL) PHP scripts that are able to fulfill the webmaster’s requirements. However PHP also has some limitations in features required by advanced websites same as in the case of MySQL, due to this limitation some professional web developers prefer to use ASP.NET or JSP. Some other developers still prefer to use Cold Fusion, CGI, ASP or PERL.

Email

Now the next very important aspect to be talked about is Email. At present no one can move further in this computer world with having his/her Email account. The one who is planning to do any kind of activity through computer such as to run a business or to provide any kind of service, then the first thing he/she need to do is to open an Email account. There are many hosting plans that include the feature of having some email accounts with customer’s domain. The availability of number and size of email accounts totally depends on the hosting plan one opted. Generally this feature is not included in free hosting. Small plans provide only about 10 accounts where as big plans do not have the limited number. Usually those email accounts are web based and accessible through POP3 clients as well.

File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

The other service is FTP. File Transfer Protocol is a usual way of transferring files across the Internet. Most of the webmasters used to upload and download their websites contents through FTP. The process of uploading or downloading is performed by using FTP client software. Webmasters require FTP username and password so as to access their web server. There are any hosts who use to provide more than one FTP account to their customers as per their

Basic Facebook Marketing Strategies to Generate Endless Leads

Basic Facebook Marketing Strategies to Generate Endless Leads

What does it mean to you as an internet marketer? It is a large gold mine. Isn’t it? However, How are you going to position yourself uniquely and promote your business on Facebook considering the large volume of updates being posted on Facebook every day? How do you grasp the attention of the Facebook users? The purpose of this post is to make you aware of the basic Facebook marketing strategies and tools that you need to successfully generate leads and dominate.

Always remember Facebook is a social network and should not be used to pitch your business. Prosperity in your Facebook marketing is directly proportial to the number of solid relationships developed with fellow users.So, Lets gets started

Facebook Profile

– A picture is worth thousand words. Make sure to add a picture in your profile
– Fill in your past info such as schools went and make it public so that people can find you through search
– Fill in your interests and make it public so that fellow subscribers could relate to you
– Fill in all your websites such as a blog, Twitter, your capture pages etc on your profile. By default, only your primary website is displayed. I would highly recommend to display all your websites in your profile. Anyone visiting your profile page could click on your URLS and learn more about you

Add Friends

After creating a profile, do not wait for things to happen. Go ahead and find and add few friends a day every day. It is advised that you can add up to 25-30 friends everyday. Excessive adding of friends will result in removing your page by Facebook administrators.

Interact with friends through like and comment

Once you have added a few friends and see their content on your home page, start interacting with them by liking and commenting on their updates. Commenting on updates could have a viral effect. When you comment on an update, your comment will show up on the updater’s wall and is visible to all his friends. So, it pays to make intelligent comments and get traffic back to your page. Also, feel free to share quotes, posts, and videos that had a positive impact on you. Key is to interact with Facebook friends as much as possible.

Facebook Photo Albums

Feel free to share your pictures and videos with your friends on Facebook. People would love to know more about you through pictures and videos. If you have been to a networking event and have taken pictures with the leaders and fellow networkers, share those pictures with stories about the events and see the traffic to your website increasing

Facebook Videos

If a picture is worth thousand words, how much is a video worth? In 2009, video marketing has been growing rapidly and is here to stay. Facebook allows you to either upload videos or shoot a video instantly. More you share the videos, better it is. Do share your videos about networking events, funny incidents, achievements and any other video that could have a positive influence on others. I use the video feature of Facebook in a couple of ways and am seeing phenomenal results:

1. I introduce myself to recently added friends. A short video describing who I am and appreciating for friendship
2. I use instant Facebook video recording option to wish birthdays to friends

Facebook Groups

Group positions you as a leader and displays the value you can provide to fellow networkers. Facebook users who join your group can be converted to prospects for your biz by using effective attraction marketing strategies. It pays to establish a group and providing value to the members of the group through emails, invitations to an event etc. I also use groups in Facebook to identify like minded people and to promote my posts.

Facebook Events

Facebook allows you to create a public event ( viewable to all members of Facebook) and provides you URL that can be used to communicate on other social networks like Twitter, MySpace etc. I send an event invitation via email to all my group members. Event feature keeps track of the users status (attending, not attending, may be) about the event. I see an increase in numbers for the event when I blast a reminder email to people who were not sure or were planning to attend.

Facebook Wall posts

Evey user in Facebook has a wall where he posts messages and moderates the comments made. If you are a core Facebook user, I am sure that you must be posting and promoting your content on your wall. However, It is worth much more to learn how to post your content effectively on walls of the members having a huge number of friends. It can be done by giving a lot of value that could be beneficial to the users visiting the page. Facebook will disable your account if they see you spamming. So, be cautious while using this approach.

Facebook Notes

Do you have a self hosted word press blog? If no, I would highly recommend you to start blogging and provide valuable content. Facebook notes is an awesome feature you can use to make your valuable blog content visible publicly to all members of Facebook. Also, there are applications that imports your blog content into the notes in an automated way. Isn’t that cool?

This feature would increase your blog traffic tremendously and ultimately your sales if you are using the blog as central hub/nerve center as I mentioned in my Attraction Marketing Blueprint post.

Facebook Applications

I am not a big fan of applications on Facebook as I generate enough traffic using the resources mentioned above. However, there are couple of applications that I personally use

Vuyou (Video Email Application): If you are an internet marketer and are generating leads through various marketing strategies like PPC, classifieds etc, you already might know the value of connecting with the prospect. I use this FREE video email application to connect with my leads as soon as they enter in to my sales funnel.

Networked Blogs: I use this application to increase the visibility for my blog. This is a cool application which allows Facebook users to subscribe to my blog and access my updates regularly.

Question by MS Alexander: Okay peoples I am trying to prepare a case analysis of Case. I need help beginning by writing the introduction?
Facebook Faces Up

1 Facebook has had a rough ride of late. Users complain about the site’s frequent shutdowns, with some observers seeing the malfunction as a possible troubling security breach.
2 And though the news media continue to talk about the network’s rapid growth and market dominance, commentators have expressed misgivings about Facebook’s ability to sustain and monetize that expansion.
3 Now, with founder Mark Zuckerberg heading back to court Aug. 8 to defend himself
against accusations that he stole the site’s concept from ConnectU, another collegiate social network with its roots at Harvard, the vultures are on the sidelines, flapping their wings.

STAYING IN SCHOOL

4 Not least among them are those looking to fill the void they claim Facebook has left behind by deserting its core audience, college students. According to ComScore, 71% of users are now outside the college age-bracket. As of May, anyone could join the network, whereas users once needed a.edu e-mail address (as proof of college affiliation) to join.
5 But the demand for student-only online spaces—the very thing that made Facebook take off in the first place—remains. And that’s where three ventures by young alumni—College OTR.com, CollegeTonight.com, and CollegeWikis.com—hope to come in. Their
success and strategy depend on staying loyal to that college niche, and they’re looking to find ways to complement rather than compete with the networks students already use.
6 Niche marketing has been the strategy of choice for many new networks in the last year. Users have responded well to being a part of a distinct community, whether grouped by profession, ethnicity, or school. And advertisers like that specificity too.

Basic Web Design Tips

Basic Web Design Tips

If you want to be visible and viable today in any market, you’ll need to have a web presence or you might get missed. But if you are just starting out, of course, you may want to save some money and begin the web design process yourself. In order to get started, you should follow the basic web design tips list below. So keep it handy as your fingers do the walking across your computer keyboard.

The very first thing that you’ll want to do is find an easy and inexpensive web editor that feels comfortable and gets the job done. There is a pretty vast array of them on the market. If you feel a little more confident than most and have spent some time educating yourself in basic web design, graphic design and some HTML language, you might want to go straight for Adobe’s Dreamweaver. It is kind of like the custom, gold-plated Swiss Army Knife of web editors – it does everything and makes your site look and act amazing. While it does cost almost 0, it is well worth it because not only does it offer virtually every feature possible, it can be used by webmasters of all expertise levels. Dreamweaver not only allows use of simple HTML language but also works with XML and CSS, both common on today’s sites.

Budget tools

On the other hand, applications like NVU are free and are made expressly for those who are new. There is another one called CoffeCup for only about fifty bucks, but it still provides a good number of ready-to-go templates for your site.

Regardless of which web editor you buy or get be certain to read the instructions carefully, either the online tutorial or the printed handbook that comes with it. Of course you do not have to understand every single operation but definitely need to learn link building, how to style text and how to position different components on the page (copy, images, links, media, etc.).

The lowdown on templates

The next thing you should do is get the skinny on Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), as mentioned above. It essentially sets up styles and other specific attributes to your website. It is relatively easy to learn and incredibly helpful because it controls how the entire site looks, feels and operates, providing a uniform and “together” appearance. With CSS, you can change both appearance and functions (such as link coloring, font type, backgrounds, etc.) with a few small changes directly in the style sheet without re-tooling all of the HTML throughout the site – and that saves a lot of work! A simple way to begin with CSS is to get a site template with a style sheet already affixed. From there you go in and experiment with it, then customize it to make it your own. You can get CSS templates from sites like Templatemonster.com, Styleshout.com and many others. Many offer free templates, while others are very inexpensive.

After you choose the perfect template that works for your company or personal image, go ahead and open it in an HTML editor, such as Dreamweaver. Be sure to have an extra copy saved elsewhere, just in case you fiddle with it too much. Virtually all templates have a home page to work from, which allows you to make variations for other pages on your site. You can do this by doing a Save As command with a different file name for every variation. But when you make a lot of pages or variations within groups of pages – some pages may be switched out regularly or seasonally – you need to properly organize these individual files.

Being organized is key

Your website is really just a bunch of these pages or files parked on a server. They need to be found, accessed and managed very easily. You should determine headings and sub-folders for all of your files. For example, if your company website is all about auto mechanics, you’ll create a homepage as such, and then create sub-folders about, say, compact cars, trucks, electric cars, etc. and within those, you’ll create more detailed folders. In many cases, sub-folders’ titles will actually be navigation menu items for users to look at and activate.

First, create a folder on your computer’s hard drive. Make a folder named AutoMechanicsSite and save it to a predetermined place. Whether you use a PC, Linux box or a Macintosh, the process is the same-just make sure to create your folder/directory in an appropriate location. Save site templates (and, as you go along, everything else) in this folder. Remember, if the template has an image folder, you will need to move or copy the contents to the “images” folder inside AutoMechanicsSite. Simply continue to place and save things to this folder, as it mirrors the hierarchy of the site on the server. All of this will be infinitely helpful and get your website up and running quickly.

Last but not least

One other thing you’ll need to learn is something called File Transfer Protocol or FTP. It is simply the process of putting your pages up on a web server. It is easy to set up an FTP account with your site host. Once it is set up, a full-featured application like Dreamweaver will enable you to publish your pages directly online, after providing password and username.

Of course, to make it all pretty and shiny, you’ll want to use one of various graphic design applications, such as the infinitely versatile Adobe Photoshop, CorelDraw or others. Once you put the elements together, you will be online and ready to start doing business. Now your challenge is to get people to come!

Doing the same here! First, come up with your own website, then, come up with prices, testimonials, etc.

Essential Knowledge in:

HTML
XHTML
CSS
PHP
CGI
MySQL
File Management

Make sure that you register your business! I would recommend a sole proprietorship. You have less tax crap to deal with. Make sure you come up with a good contract for your clients, because with a sole proprietorship, they can go straight for your cash. To learn all about this, go to your state’s website under the business section. Colorado’s wasn’t too helpful, so I went in a had a conference with a member of the SBDC.

Hope I helped! ;P
