Points to Take Care for Beginners While Selecting Web Hosting

March 29th, 2010

Every beginner who is quite new to internet and who starts surfing the internet for him/her its very confusing to select the right web host provider for his/her host. Due to inexperience most of the beginners selects free web hosting or cheap web hosting which makes them realize their mistake afterwards .All the efforts of these beginners gets useless due to their small mistake of selection and this mistake makes them feel so demotivated that they even don’t think of starting again. It is nothing new that everyone wants to get anything for free but here in this case “cheap” becomes “more expensive”.

The following are the reasons which make the above statement true:

1.The biggest drawback with fee web hosting is that they never offer any sort of guarantee and so there are chances that it can be removed the very next day or in near future. Not only has that it also led to permanently removal of one’s site from the search engines. In this new era of I.T there are billions of sites coming up every day and their popularity lies in the fact that how old is their existence and what is their place in the search engines. Now in case one deletes his/her site from the server its very hard to get it back as that space is immediately procured by any one else.

2. Another drawback is free web hosting or free sites are usually supported by advertisements and other stuffs. In case one has created a free site in sub domain and also finds good free hosting. In order to boost business one also have perform some offline and online promotions to one’s customer’s friends and other people who are known to him/her. Now here one is getting in trap of hosts by promoting his/her ads and other stuffs… Not only that the persons who might have book marked one’s site will not find it again once it is removed by the host. Thus overall loss will be of the user.

3. There is a big difference between a top level domain and a free sub domain. Domains are quite different and represent one’s status .In that case no other competitor can steal one’s name and clients can easily memories the name as well. However in case of free domain, any one can have any amount of free sub-domains, in that case the fate of the user will be worst if his/her competitor has started using the same name.

4. In case a very good client finds the user on the web and is very interested in his/her products and services. Now before hiring one’s services he would definitely like to know more about the user or rather he will perform research as he should contact the user or not first. If the user is having a free hosting site the first impression that will imprint on the mind of the client is that the user is not at all a serious fellow and would rather ran away. Thus it’s better to have personalized top level domain and consistent hosting services.

5. In case user finds a cheap web hosting company, he/she should think twice before finalizing the deal. If the company is offering cheap service, one should look at all the possible reasons, why it is so cheap. In most of the cases the outcome of research would be poor support or service or let say no support at all .As support or services both involves some cost which the providers save by not employing any support personnel. Thus one should act very wisely while taking the decision.

6. Another mistake which usually the new comers do is that they don’t keep any backups of their work rather they rely on hosting providers for this. Now in that case worst can happen if the host’s server went down or due to any reason free host might have removed the site, now the user is only left with an option to just start from the beginning which is really very painful.

7. With beginners another problem is they are not sure for their requirement. It’s understandable that no one can predict his/her exact requirement for future but if one’s requirements are clear, it’s quite easy for one to choose the host as per requirement. One should always consider if there is any possibility of shifting from static site to a dynamic one or he/she may require using certain scripts. Thus if needs are properly ascertained at present they will help a lot in future.

Against all the above disadvantages there are some advantages as well which are as below-:

1. Its not necessary that all free hosts are bad or decisive, there are some who may be an excellent host which is up-coming and can provide wonderful services as well. There are some providers who are offering free hosting just to promote their services and to add more customers in their list.

2. In some cases even cheap and affordable web hosting may turn fruitful, if one has taken all precautions in advance while select the host. Thus even proper homework can turn a free or cheap host into a best host. One should always select the host having better server, updated software’s and who offers quality support in reality.

3. Also it is not all sure guaranteed that all the free websites are going to be removed without notice or which are going to bring a bad fame for one’s company . There are several good and reputable companies like Google’s Blogger or Yahoo’s Geocities which helps one to increase his/her link popularity if used in a proper way.

Thus the above were some of the points in favor of the cheap web hosting .At the end we can say that while choosing a host one should keep in mind that the host is the one who is going to protect or harm one’s site and so he/she should take utmost care while selecting the right one .A good web host is like an honest employees who works dedicatedly for 24 hours a day and 365 days a year for keeping one’s business running successfully all time.

Top Ten Concepts for Linux Beginners – Number 1, Files

March 26th, 2010

Of course if you are used to Microsoft Windows you are familiar with the concept of files. This familiarity means you won’t have to start from zero to learn about Linux files. However, you will have to relearn several concepts and techniques to work with files in the Linux environment, whether using Damn Small Linux or other versions. You can do several great things with Linux files that you can’t do easily or at all under Windows. This could be just one more reason to switch from Windows to Linux.

Files have unique names. This rule is not as simple as it may seem. There is no conflict between a hard disk file named pay12june and a file named pay12june on your removable USB flash drive. In fact, be sure to backup all your important files. Don’t worry if your hard drive file is erased or becomes corrupted and illegible, simply access the one on your flash drive. You could also have two files named pay12june on your hard drive in different directories. Directories, collections of directories and files, will be discussed in the next article in this series.

Linux distinguishes between lower-case and upper-case characters in file names. Microsoft Windows does not. For example, Linux treats pay12june and Pay12june as two different files, as different as pay12june and heighho. Windows users will have to adapt to this major difference. Even though I am a Linux fan I don’t see any advantage in the Linux way of naming files. Maybe I have spent too much time in the Windows environment.

File names should be relatively short. The allowed maximum is 255 characters but working with long file names is no fun and in fact is asking for trouble. Linux file names may not contain the character / which has a special meaning. To avoid misunderstanding don’t include special characters such as $ and & in your file names. Doing so could cause confusion and lead to hard-to-find errors. For the same reason don’t call your files by special Linux names such as etc.

Linux sometimes applies file extensions; common examples include .c to indicate a C-language program and .htm or .html to indicate one type of web page. Savvy Linux users often avoid coding the file extension but rely on the file directory to indicate the file type. Don’t give a Linux file a misleading file extension.

Use an editor to create or modify a text file. The old fashioned vi editor has been replaced by more powerful, user-friendly editors. Most versions of Linux come with several editors. Damn Small Linux, a popular version that runs under Windows, includes several editors such as Beaver that come quite close to being intuitive.

Linux provides an enormous variety of commands for processing files. Many of these commands are mnemonic; for example the command cp is used to copy files. Many commands include a wide variety of options. Consider the ls command, somewhat similar to the DIR command in the Windows environment. This seemingly simple command is quite rich and offers dozens and dozens of options many of which have no equivalent in the Windows environment.

Linux commands can be thought of as verbs. Just like most English sentences include more than a verb (go, jump) complete Linux commands contain the command itself and one or more objects. To copy a file you not only need to specify cp but also What and Where. For example, the command cp pay12june backuparea means copy the pay12june file into the backuparea directory.

Linux syntax (grammar rules) is quite strict and does take time to learn. But mastering Linux and associated technologies can lead to employment. The next step is mastering Linux directories.

Once upon a time Levi Reiss wrote ten computer and Internet books either alone or with a co-author. Now he has moved on to building websites, including global wine (www.theworldwidewine.com), Italian wine, Italian travel, and health and nutritional aspects of wine. He has taught various and sundry computer courses including Linux and Windows operating systems at an Ontario French-language community college for decades. His new website http://www.linux4windows.com will get you to run Linux even on that outdated Windows computer in your basement but first you must remove the dust bunnies.
