What Is DNS? Some History.
September 28th, 2010
First, we will give the definition:
DNS (Domain Name System)- is a hierarchical, distributed in network system of databases that provides network users with additional services (technically realized on a PC – DNS servers that are running with special software), with the automatic conversion of queries, processed in a friendly for a man text format in digital IP address of the computer where desired resource is located.
Let’s soak in history to see where appeared DNS and why it is needed.
After launching first Sputnik by the Soviet Union in 1957, the U.S. create an agency designed to do researches in field of communications for security – Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). Agency should develop a draft of U.S. military communications, which could function normally during the natural disasters or nuclear bombs. Telephone Communications of U.S. were quite reliable. Damaging communication lines – meant the loss of control and management. They need a new technology that allows to have a connection with the violation of a direct line of communication. In 1961, a student from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Leonard Kleinrock described the technology, which required the breaking of the original transmitted data into packets and each packet transmission by different routes. In 1963, the head of ARPA John Liklider offered the first concept of the network. Larry Roberts in 1967, began to work on the embodiment of the ideas of John Liklidera in life. In 1969, the University of California established the first packet network using a single router, called ARPANET. After the opening of the commercial version of ARPANET Telnet in 1974 and the establishment of the first Ethernet network, a rapid and fast development of the network started – the first prototype of the Internet.
All computers, connected to the network ARPANET, worked on the protocol IP (Internet Protocol) and had the files of the /etc/ hosts, which contained the IP-addresses of other computers that were in the network. File /etc/hosts was updated when a new computer appeared in the network and it was sent to all other computers in the network. At the beginning of 1977 the number of hosts was in the vicinity of 100 and each of them had been prescribed by the names of the remaining 99. In 1982, ARPA issued a stack of TCP / IP protocols for heterogeneous computing environments. This year is considered to be the year of birth of Internet. TCP / IP protocol intended breaking files into packets and transfer them to different paths. The network began to develop at great speed. By early 1984 the number of hosts was more than 1000 files like /etc/hosts, which were used on each computer became more and more. There was some problems: traffic associated with the updating of information about new computers in the network threatened to block all communication lines, it became harder to find a unique symbolic name for new computers. So in replace a flat system
of computer names on the Internet in the mid 80s came a hierarchical system, known as Domain Name System DNS.

Experience About Searching For Good Hosting Company.
September 28th, 2010
Recently I tried to run my own blog and, naturally, there has accumulated a lot of impressions that I want to share with you.
I had no special requirements for installed software, disk space and volume of traffic. Blog runs on engine WordPress, there are relatively few images and no audio and video files. Also I wanted to be able to create subdomains (for experimental), cPanel, cron, etc.
I was took searches. First impressions were encouraging. There were a lot of companies that provided such services. After a preliminary screening conducted with the information on official sites, I have received a list of ten hosters.
I had no illusions about it. Of course I understood that I can hardly expect for super service in the most inexpensive packages (I was interested in the proposal with a price of about $ 5 per month). But I wanted to understand clear what should I pay for. So I started to collect detailed information.
Here began the most interesting. About EVERY hoster from my list, I found reviews and articles of two kinds. The first is an obvious advertisement. The second – reviews of dissatisfied customers (or competitors). And yes, it was fascinating reading . People do not hesitate in their expressions and in details, with the transition to the person tell all that “boiling”.
In one case, I even found the correspondence on the forum between dissatisfied customer and the director of the hosting company with the volume of eight pages.
And it was almost impossible to find out who is guilty. Customers complain about bad customer support, unstable operation of the servers, and the lack of essential functions for scripts. Hosters wrote that only bad scripts are guilty.
Ultimately, I decided to do an independent verification. I posted letters with questions to those support services and checked how much time they spent on the answer. The best result was about 20 minutes (questions, of course, were simple and related to their services). I looked how other sites work on these hosting services (speed of downloading files, errors, etc.).
After that I read documents, the terms of the provision and description of services on the official websites of hosters. If there was no information about it on the site I immediately deleted the hosting provider from the list.
Ultimately I made my chose. For two months since the placement of the blog, I have no claims (they have no, too).
I will not tell you the title of hoster. It is too little time passed for making any conclusions. And of course there are a lot of negative comments about it. That is all; I wish you good luck in your searches.
Before you buy any web hosting, you need to go through the hosting reviews routine. Surely you need to be realistic and be aware of the fact that now every cpanel hosting will be real. But if you go through the nice number of web hosting unlimited sites – you will see the true picture.
Financial Planning And Forecasting
September 28th, 2010
An important element in managing of economic and social processes are planning and forecasting. They are used mainly for predetermination of the rational aspects in the development of the economy, changes over a specific period of growth of individual industries. Financial planning and forecasting are the main element of the financial mechanism.
Justification of financial indicators, of planned financial transactions and the impact of many economic decisions can be reached in the process of financial planning and forecasting. These two very similar concepts in the economic literature and in practice are often been identified.
In fact, financial planning should be preceded by forecasting and should evaluate a variety of options (respectively, should determine possible management of financial resources at the macro and micro levels).
Predictions can be medium-termed (5-10 years) and long-termed (more than 10 years).
Financial forecasting precedes the stage of drawing up of financial plans; it develops the concept of financial policy for a certain period of development of society.
The purpose of financial forecasting is to determine the real potential of financial resources, sources of formation and their use in the forecast period.
Forecasting of the financial system allows to authorities to identify different options for development and improvement of the finance system, forms and methods of implementing monetary policy.
Financial planning – is a scientific process of justification for a certain period of movement of financial resources and relevant financial relationships.
Its object is mainly the financial activities of the State or any business entity; and the final result – is the production of financial plans, ranging from estimates of individual agencies to the consolidated balance sheets of the State. It identifies not only the movement of resources for the development and use of various funds, but also mediating their financial relationships and emerging cost ratio.
Financial planning – it is a purposeful activity of the state, of the individual units and economic entities to substantiate the effectiveness of economic and social decisions based on their availability of funding sources, on optimization of its tasks and on achieving positive outcomes.
Financial planning should be based on knowledge about the objective laws of social development, trends of movement of financial resources; about the study of the original database results previously conducted activities and financial transactions.
Financial plan – is a plan for the formation, distribution and use of financial resources. Financial plans are all the links in the financial system, by the way the shape of the financial plan, the composition of its indicators shows the specifics of the section of the financial system. Thus, companies and organizations that operate on a commercial basis, make balance sheets of i
ncome and expenditure; institutions engaged in nonprofit work make estimates; insurance companies, associations and cooperative organizations make financial plans; public authorities – the budgets of different levels.
Before you buy any website hosting, you need to go through the hosting reviews routine. Of course you need to be realistic and be aware of the fact that now every cpanel hosting will be unbiased. But if you go through the nice number of web hosting unlimited sites – you will see the true picture.
How To Reduce The Outcoming Traffic?
September 28th, 2010
You have just received a check for web-hosting services, payment for which in this month has exceeded usual amount. A company that provides you web hosting services explains the fact that you have increased minimum rate of exchange of information for the site, and that is why they recommend you to reduce the size of your site.
Let us explain what’s what
What is “bandwidth usage?”
Each site has a certain file size (e.g., 22 K. Each time when visitor load this file, the rate of exchange of information increases by that number. The larger the download size and the number of visitors then the higher rate of exchange of information.
What is bandwidth?
Bandwidth – is the quantity of information that can be moved in some period of time. Data transfer rate – the rate at which data can be moved from one computer to another. How much bandwidth do you need?
To determine how much bandwidth you need, you should calculate the size of each web page, and then multiply on the number of pages.
Multiply by the estimated number of views your pages a month.
For example, a web page has two pictures with 15 KB each, and also contains the text size of 3 KB, i.e. your page has a size – 33 KB. Now you should multiply this number by the number of users of the page that you expect to have per month (e.g. 100,000 per month). It means that for this page in a month is required to transfer 3.3 GB of information.
After this you should recalculate this quantity for each webpage and, thus, you will understand the approximate amount of the exchange of information necessary for the site.
How to reduce bandwidth usage?
The easiest way is to reduce the size of files on your site, particularly images and other graphics. For example, the page contains a large image (for example, 200 K, which is loaded each time a visitor opens the page. If you reduce the image size to 20 KB or remove it, thereby you will reduce the rate of exchange of information, which in turn will increase the speed of loading page.
If your site contains simple pages written in HTML, as well as small images, then the rate of exchange of information will be small.
You can find a lot of services for working with bandwidth in the Internet such as: tracking index of information exchange, control of web-pages, customization of your website, tips for dealing with bandwidth and others.
If you add files to website or page, recalculate the total size of the site.
Check out how many visitors will visit your site in the next few months.
Adjust the amount of bandwidth. You may need more storage space and greater bandwidth capacity for effective work of site.
Ask the company providing web hosting services, whether it possible to go to another web hosting plans, thereby increasing the disk space and bandwidth.
Before you buy any web hosting, you need to go through the web hosting reviews routine. Of course you need to be realistic and understand that now unlimited hosting is a reality. But if you go through the nice number of cpanel web hosting sites – you will see the true picture.
May Be Cheap Paid Hosting?
September 28th, 2010
I would like to talk about the profitability of placing websites on paid hosting sites.
Among novice webmasters there is an opinion that paid hosting sites is expensive, and for the beginning it is enough to have free hosting service.
How could arise that view?
This is connected with fact that many hosting providers do not have tariff plans with small size of disk space. Hence the higher prices and the view that paid hosting for beginners is unprofitable.
Some hosting providers even have starting tariff plans with size of disk space 5 GB!
And there is a question: why should I pay for something that I do not use? It is very good question!
What is the alternative to free hosting?
But this is not a real problem. You just need to choose the cheapest paid hosting of sites.
How could hosting of web sites be cheap?
Of course, through the provision of such a size of disk space that user really need at this moment. You may also want some cheap web hosting with possibility to increase the storage space for the site in a such value that is needed for increasing current needs.
Can your website on the cheap hosting to become an extra problem?
It won’t be if cheap web hosting will be chosen correctly. And the key word for successful solution of this problem will be – check (testing, measurement, if you want) of hosting provider before making any decision. Currently, you can find a lot of services that allow defining the basic parameters of any hosting, including cheap hosting sites.
On the home page of StatusHost.ru there is a control tool of the main indices. Only a few hosting providers can boast with this. On the pages of the site there are recommendations for testing of hosting and correct interpretation of the results.
Before you place your site on the Internet you should definitely use these recommendations.
And then on the basis of accurate knowledge about the characteristics of the selected host you should make a decision where to place your site.
Then, placing the site on a paid, but very cheap hosting will not become a cause for disappointment.
In general, placing of the site is very responsible thing and requires a leisurely examination of all aspects of this process.
And knowledge for this novice webmaster may have not enough. But in the age of global access to information, it would not be an obstacle.
It suffices to use some cleverly written instructions. Such instructions can be found on page of hosting site, how accurately to place the site on the Internet.
Step by step description of the entire process, explaining the majority of occurring terms, the presence of screenshots, all this makes the proposed instruction very valuable resource not only for beginners but for experienced webmasters.
And as well there are other useful materials related to the hosting sites, distribution sites, and all that is connected with it. However, a good resource should have everything like this.
Before you buy any web hosting, you need to go through the web hosting reviews routine. Surely you need to be realistic and be aware of the fact that now unlimited hosting is a reality. But if you go through the nice number of cpanel web hosting sites – you will see the real picture.
Advices For Resellers-beginners
September 28th, 2010
This article, I wrote for resellers-beginners, as well as for those who are only going to deal with this difficult business. I will try to consider the common mistakes, which allow reseller, will give you advices about promotion of hosting services on the Internet.
Exterior of the site
Nice website with good, comfortable navigation – is your success in business. Don’t even try to use free templates; do not steal design of other web hosting companies. If you have not enough skills for creating a very high-quality site, it is best to use the services of a professional design studio.
Do not overdo it with graphics, the site should load quickly, otherwise you risk loosing your users once and forever. Restrict yourself from using Flash.
You should pay particular attention to the structure of site and its navigation. The user should easily find the information about your company, tariff plans, and contact information.
Do not place banner ads on the site or exchange links. Remember that you provide hosting services and there should be nothing but the hosting of sites. Otherwise, there will be formed an unfavourable impression about your company, which soon will be in blogs and forums.
Content
I often see how resellers are using our content on their site, and they copy everything under the net, until each emoticon. Of course, using someone else’s content on your site – is a bad tone. Do not give users another reason to laugh at your hosting, write your unique promotional articles, and if you have no experience, then use the services of professional copywriters. Search engines (Yandex, Rambler, and Google) will not encourage your site because it uses someone else’s content.
Let’s advertise your hosting services
After your site will be fully ready, feel free to continue with its promotion in the Internet. I’ll introduce you with the most basic techniques used by almost all hosting providers. Start with a free registration in thematic directories about Hosting – HostObzor, Hostagent, Host.GB add there your tariff plans.
Tell about your hosting on forums where you can find a large crowd of webmasters and SEO – Forum Hosting-Review, Forum SEO Searchengines, forum Webhostingtalk. Rumours will do everything for you. Send your ads by hand, do not resort to the help of specialized scripts, and leave the posts only in specially designated places for advertising on the forum. From time to time visit all these forums to respond to the posts of other users, or to announce new special offers of your hosting.
Do not spare money on advertising campaigns in search engines – Yandex Direct, Begun. Buy topical words and do not include your hosting in special show of advertising campaigns, just set the average price per click.
Are there free resources? Place a couple of accounts for free, in return for placing a text link or banner of your hosting. It will be better to place for free sites related to the web mastering, web programming and so on.
Before you buy any web site hosting, you need to go through the hosting reviews routine. Surely you need to be realistic and understand that now every cpanel hosting will be real. But if you go through the nice number of web hosting unlimited sites – you will see the real picture.
The Choice Of Hosting And Solution Of Problems
September 27th, 2010
Now I will try to explain important issue that can affect you at the most inopportune moment, when you will be at the peak of promotion and glory. If it happens, of course…
There are a lot of hosting in Russia and abroad and usually they only differ in price and capabilities. Nowadays, almost all hosting companies provide services such as PHP, PERL, mySQL and other opportunities for site management. And we will not discuss it here.
It remains only to pay our attention on allowed disk space, traffic and payment when choosing a hosting provider.
Price usually depends heavily on provided space, so you should carefully calculate how much space you should take for your site and how much it will need in the future.
Now, let’s talk about the most important thing, it actually the biggest problem – traffic.
Traffic – it is the uploaded and downloaded information by your visitors. In fact, outgoing traffic is not limited, and usually we shouldn’t pay for it, but we’ll have to pay for the incoming traffic, in the ratio of the average of 1:10.
It happens for example, if in one day we have 100 visitors, which look only for one page that weight 50k, then the incoming traffic will be 100 * 50 = 5000Kb, 5000:10 = 500kb.
But the user look more than one page and not all pages weight about 50k.
I hasten to break off in the first place those who are going to do the site with a catalogue of programs, pictures, photos and all sorts of “heavy” files. The fact is that the web hosting company in its price lists write that traffic is unlimited, but in reality it is not the truth, there are reasonable limits … Of course, you can dispute this fact in court, as you’ve been promised in the contract to have no traffic, but of course it will give you a little, because the company would not keep such site.
In general, the reality of things is so. At the time of writing this article, my site actually is closed, and there work only a few sections of text and that, in principle, and prompted me to write this article.
The fact is that as soon as you will roll out your site, and you will have a lot of visitors who will begin to download programs, photos, pictures, etc. It is likely that your website or the relevant sections will be closed as my. In my case it was so: on the site came about 6000 visitors and pumped 3.5 GB of traffic.
Hosting company simply had to turn off my site. Per month it would amounted more than 100GB.
And with such traffic, it is unlikely that some company will take your site. And at the moment I’m still looking for where can I attach my site, because I don’t earn any money on it. Out of all this you can make a conclusion that if your site is not with text content, you should beforehand ask about maximum permitted traffic when choosing a hosting company.
For example, the company Valuehost yields only up to 15Gb. traffic per month, although in the price list they say “no limit”. Of course, if you want more traffic, it can be purchased for an additional fee. So, before you spread “heavy” files on your site consider, will you be able to recover it?
Before you purchase any web site hosting, you need to go through the hosting reviews routine. Of course you need to be realistic and understand that now every cpanel hosting will be unbiased. But if you go through the nice number of web hosting unlimited sites – you will see the true picture.
What Is Web Hosting?
September 27th, 2010
Determination of hosting sites.
Hosting – renting out to user part of your server space, maintenance of efficiency of use, copyright on your web servers.
Simply, hosting – is a service to place the site in the Internet. The word “hosting” comes from the English word “host”, which has several meanings: the host, the main unit, the main room or the proprietor of the inn. Special company – hosters – render this service.
Types of hosting. Virtual hosting.
There are many approaches in the division of the hosting sites on species. Hosting can be free (placing of site is absolutely free but the owner of the project severely limited in resources and opportunities) and paid hosting. In the case of a paid hosting site opportunities are directly depended on the size of payment. But in this article we will talk in detail about the most popular division of hosting in types: virtual hosting, dedicated server and virtual dedicated server. And also will talk about hosting php and web hosting mysql.
Virtual hosting of sites.
Virtual web hosting can be represented figuratively in the form of the house, where all residents enjoy sharing resources: water, elevator, staircase, gas heating. In this case, on the same server of hosting company several websites operated is. They use common computer resources, such as software and communication with the Internet. Speaking about virtual hosting we must add that it’s not very expensive type of hosting. It is better for use to small or medium projects. But you should know that this type of hosting imposes constraints. In particular, each project has its own limits on the use of server resources.
Dedicated server.
Dedicated server is also called a physical hosting. For the site service hosting company allocates separate server, which recourses uses only this site. It guaranties stable operations of large portals (every day these sites are visited by tens of thousands of people). Physical hosting is much more expensive, but completely removes the restrictions on the use of software and technology. Client of hosting company can host his own server in the host area. The computer will be connected to the Internet and will be served by the employees of the hosting company. This service is called co-location.
Virtual dedicated server.
Virtual dedicated server – it’s not a virtual hosting and not dedicated server. Something between these two types. A few projects are located at one server (they use only resources allocated to them). Accordingly, the resources of one project can not be used by his neighbour. Virtual dedicated server allows you to use your own software, as well as administer the server.
Hosting php, hosting mysql.
Another approach is to divide hosting on resources and technology that is provided to the site owner. Primarily distinguish Hosting with php. Nowadays, it is almost impossible to do anything without use of this technology, so hosting php is the most relevant and popular. If the site is planned to be used as forum, it is important to get support for mysql. This technology allows you to create the database. However, its scope is much broader than the creation of forums, so in most cases, hosting php supports the database mysql.
Before you purchase any web site hosting, you need to go through the hosting reviews routine. Of course you need to be realistic and be aware of the fact that now every cpanel hosting will be unbiased. But if you go through the nice number of web hosting unlimited sites – you will see the true picture.
Let’s Choose A Platform For Your Future Web Site. Unix Or Windows?
September 27th, 2010
Answer on this question can be obvious to the experienced webmaster but it can put beginner into a blind alley.
Below there is a comparison of these two most popular platforms – UNIX, and Windows ®, supported by a lot of providers.
One of the biggest misconceptions among beginners – that you should place the site on that platform, which was used in the design, i.e. if you want to place the project on a server for UNIX, then you should develop it on a machine with UNIX. This is not true. Operating System, with which you work on your computer (when you build a website), can be arbitrary.
Accessibility
In recent years, providers have made maximum efforts to facilitate for their clients the administration of sites for UNIX, and forWindows. Today there is no difference between these platforms with respect to the ease and simplicity of use. If you are an experienced user and prefer to use the shell, then you select UNIX. However, if you’re a beginner, you will find on both platforms control panel (friendly for user) with Web-interface.
Reliability
Experts agree that UNIX is more reliable. Reliability is one of the features characterising consumer’s buing activity. However, my personal experience of 3 years of operation IIS 3.0 with Windows NT 4.0, shows that the reliability of the Windows platform can be significantly closer to UNIX. Much greater influence usually are made by degree of the professional level of staff. This means that you can make a decision when you choice a platform, taking in account given differences in the characteristics of other platforms.
Speed
There is no any significant difference between these two platforms during the performance tasks of hosting.
Features
This is the factor, that make this two platforms really different. But there are not many tasks that can be Completed on one platform, and which can not be completed on the other. The main difference is in efforts for achieving this result. For example, if for your site you use a database, you can use either a bundle of PHP / MySQL for UNIX or ASP / MS SQL for Windows. There is tendency in developing solutions that will be supported on both platforms. For example, Microsoft FrontPage, and supported on UNIX and Windows.
The cost of hosting
Here, UNIX still is more favourable due to the fact that, firstly, the majority of software products for UNIX are distributed under a free license, and secondly, on UNIX it is much easier to achieve the same level of reliability and efficiency than on Windows.
If you definitely do not plan to use technology and solutions, supported only by platform Windows, then most likely it makes sense to choose platform UNIX.
Before you purchase any web site hosting, you need to go through the hosting reviews routine. Surely you need to be realistic and understand that now every cpanel hosting will be real. But if you go through the nice number of web hosting unlimited sites – you will see the real picture.
Paid Or Free Hosting?
September 27th, 2010
Nowadays this theme has become one of the most actual. Now, available hosting for not very big project costs about 5 dollars (a month). And it open big opportunities for resource owners. But a lot of sites still use free hosting. They don’t look that free hosting has big limitations. May be there are some pitfalls in this matter? Or we do not consider all the factors? Yes and no.
Free hosting.
Free hosting usually allows you to make usual site from some of HTML-pages. Sometimes you can use the built-in forums or guest books, however, very limited in its capabilities. And of course there is no management system for free hosting sites.
As for the operation of CMS requires php and mysql, and you won’t be able to get it on a free hosting. Besides hosting company that provides free hosting, use websites of customers as advertise. And opening a website on free hosting you will have to accept the presence of banners and pop-up windows. At the end the domain name will be on the third level (eg, your-site.narod.ru) and will belong to the hosting company.
You can use free hosting and it will make sense for your personal pages (if you have something to tell to people) or it can be test sites, etc. Major projects aimed at generating income, or corporate sites, in most cases use paid hosting.
Benefits of paid hosting.
Paid hosting – it is an opportunity to use all modern technologies for creating and maintaining web resource. Cheap Web Hosting allows you to open the site of a small or medium-firm or a small project. If we will talk about serious projects, they usually choose more expensive hosting. But no matter, because all portals get quality services.
Even cheap hosting makes it possible to use php and mysql (from one to several databases). Hence, the project owner will be able to install content management system (CMS). In addition, on the site you will be able to make a quality forum or guestbook. All this will do the project on low-cost hosting is much more interesting and more attractive than on a limited free hosting.
An important question – the domain name. Every hosting (if you pay for it), includes available hosting and by the way with it you can use of second level domain name www.adres-site.ru (or net, com, org, etc.). This domain name belongs to the client of hosting company and it is his property. In addition, to promote the site in search engines you will be able only in the case of paid hosting. To promote the sites on free hosting requires more effort, as search engines consider them to be less serious. In the competitive demands to break into the top lines free hosting site is virtually impossible.
Thus, even the cheapest but paid hosting allows you to do more than any free hosting.. Also in the case of a paid hosting all legal issues related to ownership of the domain name and web resource is identified. If you have limited budget, inexpensive hosting service allows you to open and successfully develop your own project in the network. Fortunately, the price is low – only 5-6 dollars a month.
Before you purchase any web hosting, you need to go through the web hosting reviews routine. Surely you need to be realistic and be aware of the fact that now unlimited hosting is a reality. But if you go through the nice number of cpanel web hosting sites – you will see the true picture.
