Using Server Side Includes to Simplify Your Web Design

Posted on Apr.08, 2009, under Web Design No Comments

An “include” file is a piece of code that can be put into a seperate file — for example — your navigation bar — and then “included” in a number of other pages. This has the very useful advantage of allowing you to retain consistency over a very large number of pages, and then make changes to all of those pages by just changing the include file.
For instance, say you want each page in your site to include a short [...]

Cut Your Support Costs AND Increase Customer Satisfaction

Posted on Dec.16, 2008, under Web Design No Comments

One of the biggest frustrations for both newbie webmasters and
web host tech support staff is the learning curve new webmasters
go through. Many of them come to us wanting to create a website,
but having no comprehension of how it all works. I can’t tell
you how many times we have users create a trouble ticket because
they don’t understand what FTP is, how it works, or why they
need it. And that is just one example.
We found that, even though we provide pretty comprehensive
information [...]

Posted on Nov.12, 2008, under Web Hosting No Comments

Get What You Pay For
Why bother paying for hosting when there are plenty of companies offering free hosting? Well, in web hosting, when you pay nothing, you often end up with nothing.
Most free web hosts offer limited services. Even though they are not charging you to host your website, they still need to make money. The most common way to do this to place advertising on your site. You probably will have no control over what kind of ads [...]


What Makes For A Good Host?

Posted on Nov.09, 2008, under Web Hosting No Comments

I’ve had to change web hosts a number of times. In fact, I spent
most of this week changing from one host to another. Believe me,
it is a major pain, although I have made sure that my site is
always ready to move if necessary.
One thing I’ve become is very aware of the difference between a
good host and a bad host. To put it simply (and obviously) a
good host makes it easy for you to create and maintain your web
site. A bad [...]


Information about choosing a Web Hosting company

Posted on Nov.02, 2008, under Web Hosting No Comments

You choose web hosting company only once

company only once. No second chance. No replacing or changing of
web hosting company is possible once its been finalized.
Therefore it is very crucial that you are convinced about all
the factors of your web hosting company being up to the mark.
Like everything else, deciding about a webhosting company or
choosing a web hosting company should [...]


Dedicated Server Price Check

Posted on Oct.30, 2008, under Web Hosting No Comments

The price of dedicated hosting services has really come down in
the past couple of years. In fact, prices have dropped so much
for the “budget dedicated server” market. While competitive
conditions in both the hosting industry and the computer
hardware industry have contributed to the reduction in dedicated
hosting costs, don’t think that prices were that inflated in the
first place. Budget servers are fantastic but it takes more than
a competitive market to offer services at such great prices.
Much thanks to the great overbuilds [...]


Why Ignoring the Unlimited Hosting Plan is the Smart Way to Go

Posted on Oct.29, 2008, under Web Hosting No Comments

Anyone in the market for a Web site host has certainly come
across a hosting company offering unlimited bandwidth and
unlimited disk space as part of their hosting packages. How do
they do this? How physically, can they offer unlimited disk
space when each server has a finite amount of disk space
available for use? Perhaps more importantly, how can they offer
unlimited bandwidth when the Internet does indeed have
limitations?
Some consumers see the term unlimited and assume that that they
can’t go wrong. This is merely [...]
