Dedicated Hosting means just what its name implies – you rent an entire server from a hosting company that is dedicated to your use only. You aren’t sharing disk space or server resources with anyone else like you do with the shared-server environment of Virtual Hosting. That is the key difference that makes Dedicated Hosting more reliable and secure than Virtual Hosting since you never have to worry that someone who is sharing your server causes a problem.......

Is Your Web Host A Secret Reseller?
(Compare Web Hosts Exclusive) |
|
Web hosting resellers have been around for almost as long as the Web hosting business itself. In the beginning, Web hosting companies who had made large capital investments in servers and infrastructure began recruiting third-party companies as a type of commissioned sales force to help them recoup their investment faster. These third-party companies were given incentives to “resell” hosting services with volume discounts, advanced technical support and private labeling that made the primary host completely transparent to the reseller’s customers.......

|
Building Web pages and databases today is easier than ever before. The real trick is expertly integrating the two together so that some Web pages can let visitors input data from HTML forms while other pages display database information.

|
Ask anyone professionally involved with computers and the Internet and they will readily acknowledge the vital importance of data security. Security experts are also quick to point out that cyberattacks are increasing at an astonishing rate (though somewhat self serving, their observation is practically an understatement!).

(Compare Web Hosts Exclusive) |
|
The term “E-commerce” was originally coined during the dawn of the new Internet economy as an abbreviation for “Electronic Commerce”. Today, it may be more appropriate to think of it as standing for “Easy Commerce” considering how important it is to handle transactions over the Internet in a way that’s easy to implement, manage and use. Many Web hosting companies offer turnkey products and services designed to simplify your life in the world of E-commerce. Still, it’s important for you to have a good understanding of how it works.......

(Compare Web Hosts Exclusive) |

Virtual Private Servers are a hot topic these days for good reason. They combine the control and security advantages of a dedicated server environment with the lower cost of a shared server environment.

(Compare Web Hosts Exclusive) |
|
Making the right choice for your large-scale corporate needs is, to say the least, very important. And it’s tougher than it used to be. For years, Unix servers from IBM, Sun and HP have been the logical and popular choice for large applications. The power of a Unix server, with up to 64 processors, together with the scalability and stability of a Unix operating system has created a whole generation of IT professionals who would rather fight than switch. But, my, my – how things can change.......

Windows XP - big deal?
(Compare Web Hosts Exclusive) |

The release of Windows XP late last year is being heralded as another landmark achievement from Microsoft akin to the release of Windows 95 almost 7 years ago. So what’s the big deal? Operating systems are upgraded all the time to improve performance, right? I figured it was time I checked it out for myself. Far more than just another tweak, Windows XP feels like you’re operating in a whole new ballpark.......
