Advantages of dedicated server
Posted on March 8, 2011 under Hosting | 4 Comments
Shared web hosting plans are really cheap nowadays. For instance, the ‘Hatching Plan’ from Hostgator is for only $4 per month and it comes with unlimited disk space and bandwidth. The prices for dedicated servers, on the other hand, are still pretty steep. I pay a little less than $200 monthly. So what are the advantages of a dedicated server and why should you even look into that option?

How much space do I get with my domain name?
Posted on November 10, 2009 under Hosting | Leave a comment
I am thinking of getting a web site and have registered a domain name. Apologies for so many questions but I am new to this. How much of space do I get with the domain name? How much do I need for a web site and about 30 email addresses? I want to run an online shop to sell cuff-links and tie pins and plan to have several photos for each product. Thank you in advance.

You now need to set up the 30 email accounts and create a placeholder home page for your web site. And for this you need to host the domain name on a web server. So let us first ascertain whether any web hosting package is available with your domain name.

Change domain name on server

Where do I change the domain name on my web server? I’m letting go of my expired domain, and need to change the http association to a new one. Can anyone help?

Can you change the domain name on web hosting server?
A web hosting plan is typically ‘tied’ to a domain name. On plans that allow you to host multiple web sites, there would at least be one primary domain name. Generally there is no direct option in the control panel through which you can change the associated domain name. So what should you do?

Thanks for all the information on web hosting. Where can I buy a website sever to host many web sites.
Richard Murphy
It’s very easy and cheap to host many web sites nowadays; and, no, you don’t need a separate hosting plans for each. As long as the web sites don’t get millions of heavy users each day or run server intensive processes, putting all of them on a single reseller web hosting package will save you a lot of money. However, choosing a reliable web hosting company may confound the newly initiated. There are simply too many companies fighting it out in the marketplace. Anyway, in this post I shall share some of my experiences and point you in the right direction.
