When signing up for a web hosting service, even if they provide inexpensive web host services, usually our assumption is that security measures would be adequately taken care of. And why not? The amount that we pay for web hosting is meant to include the provision of security as well. But does that really hold true under all circumstances? Probably not.

The truth is that while all web hosting services ? whether low cost web hosting services or expensive ones, do invest in security measures for their clients, no method can be truly and absolutely foolproof. Otherwise, the numerous instances of hacking that we hear of on
frequent occasions would definitely not have been happening.

The problem is, if the security measures have improved, so have the tactics of the hackers and malicious attackers. Using sophisticated means, they are able to hack into just about any account on any site, and possibly do enormous amount of damage. Using botnets, they can send out viruses that can cripple entire networks of companies of what may well be thousands of machines.

Yet, it does not necessarily imply that you need to be completely alarmed and terrified.

Instead, you need to cross-check if the security measures in place are reasonably adequate and to your satisfaction. You also need to inquire about the back up plans of your hosting service provider for those security measures, in case the former measures fail.

Having said that, you also need to look at things from the point of view of the web hosting service provider. Do you think they would appreciate the security of their client?s websites and data being compromised? In all probability, definitely not.

They operate in an environment where they face enormous competition on an ongoing basis. To ensure that their customers remain with them, as well as to have a steady flow of new customers coming in regularly, it is in their own interest to ensure that they invest in adequate security measures. Low cost or not, it is certain that they would not want to compromise on the security of your website or that of your customers.

That said, there are some measures that you can take at your end as well, to be adequately prepared in case of any eventuality. The foremost and relatively easiest way would be to have an email ready, ideally in automated form, so that whenever a security breach is detected or predicted, it can be sent out. This will essentially reassure customers about the steps that you are taking to safeguard their data. You can also inform them that subsequent to all the steps
that you are taking, they too need to have all the latest antivirus and other protection measures at their end, so that there is ample security coverage all around.

Your customers will only be delighted to see the proactive measures that you are taking, as well as at the fact that you really care for their well being and that of their websites and data. With that faith, not only will they continue to do business with you, they will also recommend your services to other prospective clients.

So, as you can clearly see, small steps taken at your end and at your web service provider?s end can together go a long way in ensuring security for the hosted websites and data. While no method can be absolutely foolproof or ensure security under all circumstances, you can at least be reassured that majority of the minor malicious attacks will definitely be thwarted with your initiatives.

In summary, do not assume that a cheap web hosting service would necessarily have loopholes when it comes to security; instead, focus on ensuring security of your data and that of your customers in tandem with your hosting service provider, using reasonably simple ways.

Thanks for having this blog back to normal operation, it was been suspended couple of days ago. And the reason is my blog consumed much allocated server resources. Well, leave it to them because I already transferred my site to another hosting company.

I’m just so happy that it’s now online and I’m back to my blogging game. And to maximized the moment! I’ll take this post to say Thank You to my advertiser who just renewed his ads on my blog awhile ago and paid 128$ for 2 ads. Thanks for sticking with me through my downtime.

Google merge with experts from Amazon, eBay, Green Grid and the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab to offer web hosting service providers ideas on how to get the most out of their equipment at Google’s Data Centre Efficiency Summit.

Here’s internet search giant videotaped sessions, which was held in April of this year.

According to Google…

“Sustainability is good for the environment, but it makes good business sense too. Most of our work is focused on saving resources such as electricity and water and, more often than not, we find that these actions lead to reduced operating costs. “Being “green” is essential to keeping our business competitive,” Google added.

A single search creates the equivalent of 2g of CO2.

After running one of my blog on cheap web hosting server for one year, I can say that cheap hosting really sucks. I tought it would help me lessen the cost of my make money online campaign but it fails me.

The downtime is about 20 percent, that 20 percent is big loss for me. The blog I transfered is a having a nice amount of traffic, about 100k-150k unique visitors per month and moving to a new hosting provider using dedicated web hosting server is the best solution.

It’s quite expensive but blogging is one of my living source. Moving to dedicated web hosting is an investment to me.

Note: Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

Is website hosting affect Search Engine Ranking Position (SERP)? When you’re integrating Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) strategy on your website, web hosting is not likely to be a big factor. But yet, there are subtle ways that it can affect your search engine rankings.

During our SEO assessment, we found out that there are three main ways in which a website’s hosting may adversely affect its SERP.

1. Poor server uptime can effect on the ability of a search engine to index a website.

When the spider visits the URLs and receives a 404 error “page not found” error message because the server is down, definitely spider will failed to index any new or updated content of the site.

2. Secure Hosting Server

If you are hosted there on a shared IP and a small percentage of others on that IP have also been compromised, how secure or trusted is that?

“Google uses its own criteria, procedures, and tools to identify sites that host or distribute badware. In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.”

Basically, it depends upon the scripting language that is used in your website. If languages like PHP, MySQL, or Perl are used in your website, Linux server hosting is preferable. But if you are thinking for ASP Dot Net scripting language then your finest choice would the window hosting.

Windows server hosting:

1. Of course, dot net technologies are available on this platform. (.NET technologies was innovated by Microsoft, thats why)
2. Access Databases are only obtainable with a Windows server hosting plan.
