What is VPS hosting anyway? 2007-10-31 17:02:00 If you've grown your website network to a point where you attract thousands of visitors per day you will need to think about more powerful hosting options than shared or reseller hosting. If you can't afford a dedicated server at this point but require the same performance and stability, then VPS hosting may be the best solution for you...VPS (virtual private server) hosting consists of a server divided into multiple isolated accounts, and each VPS account has its own independent operating system with it's own web server and mail server resources, no sharing here.

Cahn is the real Six Million Dollar Man. Actually he has done more business than that ? we just got tired of counting. Cahn was the lead partner in brokering the industry?s first one million dollar sale when his firm, Hitdomains.com (now DomainSystems.com) helped broker the sale of WallStreet.com for $1.03 million in 1999. The record didn?t stand for long though. Cahn topped himself just months later with the $2.2 million dollar sale of Autos.com to CarsDirect.com. It was the biggest cash transaction in domain name history at the time and many say those two deals triggered the buying frenzy that followed (and continued until a price meltdown finally hit the business).Yes, the bubble did burst, but Cahn barely got wet. DomainSystems also conducted or assisted in the sales of such gems as eCommerce.com, eToys.com, Mortgage.com, Celebrities.com, Hotel.com, Guns.com, OfficeSupply.com and many others.

Windows Dedicated Servers 2007-11-07 20:10:00 Dedicated servers exist in many different varieties, and attempting to distinguish between all the different kinds can be rather difficult. This article will focus on some key differences between different operating systems for dedicated servers and explain the difference between Windows
servers and Unix / Linux varieties. Windows Dedicated ServersTo understand Unix servers in all their variety, it is necessary to understand and distinguish them from Windows dedicated servers. Windows dedicated servers are usually more expensive and less used than Linux/BSD servers. It is, however, the preferable option for a variety of software components and some additional other uses where it may be a desirable alternative. ASP, or Active Server Pages, is a web-based programming language which was developed by Microsoft. There are some software packages which claim to allow ASP to be used on Linux, but there's nothing that's very widely used or recommended. ASP runs the best (and arguably only) on Read more:Dedicated

What exactly is a managed dedicated server and which customers are best suited for this product? In order to clearly understand the product category encompassed by managed dedicated servers, it is important to understand the overall category of dedicated server web hosting products.

What is a Dedicated Server? 2007-11-07 20:09:00 In the web hosting industry, a dedicated server is usually defined as the rental and exclusive use of a computer that includes a web server, related software, and connection to the Internet, located on-site, within a web hosting company's premises. In most cases, for compilation of related company web sites, that may develop a considerable amount of traffic, a dedicated server is usually needed. In many cases, the server may be configured and operated on a remote basis, independently located from the client company. A single computer on a web hosting network that is leased or rented, and dedicated to just one customer, comprises a dedicated server. A service provider will monitor the computer's hardware, network connectivity, and routing equipment, while the customer generally controls and maintains the server software. Dedicated
servers are usually used for web sites that have grown beyond the basic standard web hosting account, and require a more comprehensive network. They are als
How to Become a Hosting Reseller 2007-11-07 20:08:00 Starting a new company can be quite expensive. Just leasing a dedicated server can cost well over $200/month. Added with the administrative costs for software setup, maintenance, upgrades, and unforeseeable emergencies, the cost can quickly climb well above just the $200/month for the server. Reseller
hosting provides a simple option for those who don't wish to incur the monthly cost of a dedicated server and want to start smaller.What is Reseller Hosting
?Reseller hosting is a type of hosting where an existing company sells you a portion of space and an amount of bandwidth on a server in exchange for a monthly fee. This monthly fee is usually greater than that of standard hosting, but compensates for the increased amount of space, bandwidth, and the additional software licenses that sometimes have to be purchased for use on a reseller hosting account.The alloted resources are then available to be distributed to other sites or customers for standard web hosting. Each individual website Read more:Become

What is a Blog? 2007-11-07 20:00:00 There is a vast movement underway on the Internet these days, and it is growing in popularity and sheer volume everyday - blogs and blogging. If you are interested in learning more about blogging and how blogs work then the following information will help.Blog is a portmanteau word - which is a shortened form of two separate words mashed together. In this case it is the melding of "web log" into a simpler form - "blog". The term blog refers to a less formal means of communication on the Internet that often takes the form of multiple smaller entries combined together to form a wholistic and coherent website. Most blogs are displayed in reverse chronoligical order - that is the newest or latest entries are displayed first and the older entries are displayed after.

What does hosted Exchange mean for Web hosting companies? 2007-11-07 19:58:00 Web hosting is a difficult industry, with prices and customer loyalty both on the decline. Most Web hosting companies are expanding their service offerings to fight these trends, and many of them are looking to offer hosted Microsoft Exchange
services.Research confirms that the vast majority of small businesses do not have sophisticated email, with mobile access and sharing of calendars, contacts and files. This leaves enormous growth potential for an offering that meets those needs.The challenge for Web hosts, however, is the same as that of your small and medium-sized business customers: in order to offer an effective Exchange service, you have to invest large amounts of capital in the hardware and software, then manage the systems, maintain the equipment and the network and also support end-users.The total cost over the first year, can easily exceed $100,000, which is both a large risk and also a difficult investment to recoup.There is now an alternative, however: a number of hosted
Is your site wearing a jacket and tie? 2007-11-25 05:42:00 The Internet is a virtual environment. Every single thing you see is non-tangible. Your visitors cannot actually hold your product or service in their hands. They cannot feel it, smell it, taste it or hear it. You can only work within a limited environment; the Internet. So how do you sell a product or service you offer if your visitors can only see it in this virtual environment? You simply work with what you have and make it better than your competitor's. Almost all web sites are stores or offices that have been placed online. If you have a store or office, it needs to be "translated" into a virtual environment. Unfortunately, this is where many companies or private owners make their biggest mistake. It's the actual process of transferring this location on to the Internet, to your web pages. Those who have offices may not necessarily have an advantage as they might already have a head start or something to start with. As stated earlier, the Internet is virtual meaning your limits a Read more:wearing
