Hostgator June 2010 Discount Coupon Code

by 3 Comments

Hostgator is one of the top most shared webhosting companies which I highly recommend for WordPress Hosting and for any other websites because of their 24*7 support.

Well Hostgator Webhosting comes in three packages:

  • Hatchling Plan
  • Baby Plan
  • Business Plan.

Hatchling plan hosting is the cheapest and allows you to host only one domain whereas with Baby plan will let you host unlimited domain. One of the major differences between Baby plan and Business plan is phone support. As i’m already using baby plan and till now I never required any telephonic support from hostgator. So if you are planning to host multiple websites, then I highly recommend for Baby plan else if you are planning for single domain you can opt for Hatchling plan.

Before I will give you the discount coupon codes of Hostgator Webhosting, here are some of the features which will you get with any of the plan:

Features of Baby Plan

  • Unlimited Domain Hosting (not with Hatchling Plan)
  • Unlimited Bandwidth
  • Unlimited Storage
  • Unlimited FTP account
  • 24*7 Customer support
  • Live Chat Support
  • Unlimited Sub-domain
  • $50 Ad-words credit
  • 45 Days Money Back Guarantee
  • Unlimited MySQL Database
  • One Click WordPress Installation
  • Unlimited Pop3 Account

For WordPress blog it is one of the top web hosting and i assure you that you will enjoy a lot. As already I have provided the 90% discount coupon code of WpWebHost of Freedom Plan and now here comes the 20% discount coupon code of hostgator for the month of JUNE, 2010 and you can use it with any of the hosting plan of hostgator. Usually for one year you pay $119 but with this coupon code you will save 20% on any hosting plan and you can get the hosting package of baby plan for only $95.52.

What is Dedicated Web Hosting?

by 2 Comments

Already in the earlier article I told you about “what is shared Web Hosting” and now in this article I’m going to tell about “what is Dedicated Web Hosting”? Basically dedicated servers are computers that have only one function, i.e., to host and run websites which you place on them.

As the name implies, dedicated hosting is a dedicated web server which means that data of your website is not being shared on the same computer as compared to shared webhosting. In dedicated hosting you are free to do anything and can make custom hardware and software configuration for the server that you will rent.

Dedicated hosting is good for those websites/blogs that have pretty good traffic and becomes one of the good options for your online business which needs some specific requirements. Dedicated hosting is not for single website, it gives you a complete freedom to host multiple websites on the same hardware and with this option you can easily cut down the cost and easily manage all the websites/blogs from a single account which will indirectly help you to concentrate more on other strategies of your business.

Dedicated web hosting provides a great amount of security and privacy as compared to shared hosting and reduces the risk of the attacks which will indirectly help you to gain trust of your client. Dedicated hosting is one of the good options for someone who wants more storage, bandwidth and control over the server.

There are two types of dedicated web hosting are present and they are being mentioned below:

1)  Managed Hosting

2) Unmanaged Hosting

Managed Hosting

Managed Hosting is hosting that is controlled by web hosting company which will provide necessary updates to your software and maintains the hardware on your behalf. The charges for managed hosting are usually high because you are also paying for the services they are providing to you. Most of the times, managed dedicated servers do not comes with root access and sometimes rebooting of the entire machine is necessary when the system crashes or locks up. Some of the web hosts provide free reboots as part of the service while others will provide only a limited number of reboots per month and you have to pay extra for each reboot.

2) Unmanaged Hosting

Well, we not recommend you to go for unmanaged hosting because in this, user is the server administrator and have full control on it, i.e., the root (administrator) password will be given to you and have to manage all the things by yourself and will take unnecessary time as compared to managed hosting which will indirectly affects your online business which we do not want to happen with you. Unfortunately, if there are any security fixes on the web server or the operating system on the computer, you will have to solve them by yourself and if you want to be solved by web host then you have to pay more for it. Of we talk about pricing unmanaged hosting is cheaper as compared to managed hosting.

Like Shared web hosting, dedicated hosting has also had some advantages and disadvantages and they are:

Advantages of Dedicated Web Hosting

  • Unlimited Bandwidth
  • Unlimited Disk Space
  • Unlimited Databases
  • Email Addresses
  • Multiple Domain Names
  • Don’t share the server with other users
  • No need to purchase own equipment
  • No need to update/maintain equipment
  • The serves are Fast, Powerful and very good Uptime
  • Complete Independence which means the user had direct access over the server
  • Dedicated servers provide higher Reliability, increased performance, greater Security
  • Good for large websites that have high traffic
  • Strong software support. The user can install or upgrade any type of support on the server according to his need

Disadvantages of Dedicated Web Hosting

Usually dedicated servers (hosting) has no disadvantage except price other than this they are the recommended ones.

  • Too Costly not recommended for beginners.
  • If any error occurs it takes a lot of time to fix it.
  • Dependence on Web Host Provider
  • If data transfer exceeds, then you have pay for this.
  • Requires a lot of skills, needs a professional to monitor and handle technical difficulties.
  • Server is the property of the service provider.
  • Impossible to change Web Host, even if you are unsatisfied with their services.

If you want a quality dedicated server at an affordable price then search deeply and choose the better one which meets your minimum requirement or you can choose from our top listed web hosting companies which are being listed below:

What is Shared Web Hosting?

by Leave a Comment

We all that how important is web hosting after having a good domain name and having a good web host will be the first priority. I have already outlined the tips on choosing the best domain name and best web host which will be useful for you before going to decide or switch over to new web host.

Continuing in the same series of post in this article I will talk about Shared Hosting because people who are new to websites and hosting will find it little bit confusing and will not able to configure out the difference between shared web hosting, VPS and Dedicated servers. Will come out with separate articles on VPS and Dedicated Servers in the coming days but this time is for Shared Web Hosting.

Firstly I want to ask one question from all of them what do you mean by Shared Hosting?

Well according to me “Shared Hosting is a system whose resources are being shared by multiple web sites on the same server, same location and on the same ip address”.

Shared Hosting is one of the most popular web hosting plan among bloggers and webmasters because it permits to host more than one web site on the same server and it is fruitful for small websites/new wordpress blogs and also for static websites. Shared hosting normally provides you a web-based control panel system, such as cPanel, Direct Admin, and includes some of the features like file manager, email accounts, webmail, email forwarding and autoresponders, FTP access, password-protected directories, database and much more.

For any new blogger or webmaster I will suggest for shared webhosting because it is good and reliable hosting, which takes cares of your initial web presence and bandwidth needs and most important it is economical which means it doesn’t cost you too much.

Well Shared Web hosting has its own advantages and disadvantages which are being discussed below one by one:

Advantages of Shared Web Hosting

  • Cheap and affordable
  • Convenience and good for small sites
  • Fast Setup and easily customizable
  • Extremely Good Support and Maintenance.
  • Includes features such as ASP, PHP, MySQL, large bandwidth and multiple e-mail address capability.
  • Shared hosting is very cheap in comparison to other hosting plans like Dedicated or VPS.
  • You don’t required high technical capabilities to maintenance the server, each account have a very simple, user friendly admin control panel, where users can easily manage their domains, scripts or databases.

Disadvantages of Shared Hosting

  • Low Security Level
  • Non-dedicated IP
  • Resource limitation – everybody uses the same memory, CPU and Hard drive
  • System Crashes or Server Overload Issues.
  • Performance Issues
  • Risk of Cross Contamination
  • When any user website is draining lots of resources, hosting company tends to suspend such account in order to preserve other websites.
  • One of the disadvantages of Shared hosting is the lack responsibility of the hosting provider that wants to get higher profit neglecting the server capacity and squeeze as many users they can on the same server. This will turn into a big chaos.
  • Other disadvantage is that it is not under the customer control, because they will never know what other sites are doing on their shared server, if the server was undergone to an attack or the IP of the server was blacklisted because of other websites.

As I have sighted out the advantages and disadvantages of the shared hosting which will help you out in choosing the good web host and if you are thinking to buy a shared web hosting you should make a search to get the perfect shared hosting for your website, or you can choose from our top listed hosting companies.
