By Randall Stukey

Below are the top five general purpose cheap web hosts selectedfor September 2005. All of the following plans include aweb control panel, a cgi-bin directory, php, perl, and at least 1mysql database. Many offer a number of additional features. Ourratings are re-evaluated monthly, with a major re-evaluation ofcustomer ratings every three months.

About the CWHR Rating: This number (from a low of 1 to a high of10) is a weighted average of customer ratings of the web host(80%) and the staff evaluation of the web host (20%). Customerratings are themselves weighted by the length of time the personhas been using their web host. Customers who have hosted with acompany for years count more than a customer who has hasted therefor a couple of months. As our rating is mainly determined bycustomers of web hosts, our rating is less likely to be gamed bystaff evaluators playing favorites or web hosts giving our staffspecial treatment. The CWHR Ranking determines the sites we listeach month and the order in which we list them. A CHWR Rating of"NA" means not enough customers rated this host for a meaningfulresult. This rating is only found in the special needs hostingsection.

Web Hosting Prices Slashed Due To Competition.
By Tony Tebano

Today, Weblinkhosting.com has announced and unveiled a new array of plans that are designed to better meet the needs of the consumers. The plans that they have created are listed here:

Power-LINK - Host One Domain (Sale Prices Starting at $6.97/mo)
Xtra-LINK - Host Two Domains (Sale Prices Starting at $9.97/mo)

The new plans are available now and, for a limited time and are expected to perhaps change in the upcoming months. This shows that weblinkhosting.com and many rivals like Midphase, Time Warner and iPowerWeb are starting to compete with very low prices and high space and bandwidth offers to the consumers.

The plans offered by WebLink include all the features one would need to host a basic, ecommerce and advanced website. One of the unique functions they have implemented is the success of their rollover bandwidth feature which rollover unused bandwidth to the upcoming month. Much like Cingular does with unused cell phone minutes.

WebLink also has announced that at the end of September 26th 2005
they will cease to give out free 19" DELL monitors to their customers. This program was set to last only through the summer for promotional reasons.

New customers will select on of our new packages when ordering. However, if you would like to upgrade an existing WebLinkHosting.com account to one of the new packages, you would need to contact Weblinkhosting.com and request an account upgrade. The upgrade consists of no downtime and take several hours to complete.

Additionally, they have implemented Fantastico into their plan line. With this additional feature, Fantastico allows their clientele to use many top notch scripts most often used in the web industry. As a result, you'll be able to easily add impressive functionality to your sites such as discussion boards, blogs, surveys, calendars, and image galleries even if you possess little or no programming knowledge.

By Olga Elizarova

First of all we must determine the meaning of the word hosting. So, what is hosting?
Hosting origins from the word host which has different meanings that are familiar to you. means providing place for your website on the web companys servers and makes it viewable in the Internet and floating it.

Why can you once need hosting?

Imagine that you have created a website and now you are wondering howyour friends and acquaintances can see it. You place it in your personal computer, but then you come to know that its dangerous for your computers safety and needs permanent Internet connection. So it causes a lot of inconveniences for you. To avoid them there is web site hosting.

There are different kinds of web site hosting. Lets have a good look at them:

1.Shared or virtual hosting
2.Dedicated hosting/ server,Co-location
3.VDS/VPS Virtual Dedicated Server/Virtual Private Server

Before choosing some type of web

its necessary to consider the way you are going to use it.

Free Shared hosting

If you want to host some on-profit-making or your personal web site itd be more profitable to use basic shared
for no fee. This type of web site
is a rather logical choice if you are a junior in web site building or if you want to try some new idea and dont want to pay. But of course you dont have to suppose it to grant your site the best conditions, such as proper bandwidth and disk space. Some other features can also be limited, I mean MySQL, PHP support. It often also provides poor web statistics.

Paid Shared hosting

Almost all small businesses, intermediate and large professional sites use shared hosting, cause they dont need the whole servers

space and besides the whole server costs much.

With shared/virtual
such necessary features, as multiply e-mail, MySQl, PHP, are supported. The main disadvantage is decrease of your sites security.

Dedicated /Server

This type of is the best choice for those, who need much storage and bandwidth, and are good in server administration. Youll be able to use all necessary software, but if you dont have enough knowledge to administrate your server it will be a little bit difficult for you.

Co-location

Its a sub type of dedicated and can be compared with your own house which was built specially for you, with your favorite furniture and all. Its built on your hosters (ISP) ground. This service is implied to fulfill only your tasks and is designed for your needs alone. And its cost is correspondingly high.

VDS/ VPS

Virtual private server is a type of web site
that is based on dividing a physical server into several virtual ones. It costs less though gives same possibilities as Dedicated server. Now, when weve examined different types of services, you can decide which type of is the most suitable for you.

Managed Hosting Services Who Benefits From It?

Managed Hosting Services Who Benefits From It?
By Search EzineArticles.com

Managed Services are used primarily by companies that either dont have staff with the expertise to manage a dedicated server or dont have staff with the time to attend to the needs of managed hosting. In either case the option of having the host manage the server can be of great value to firms that have such needs.

Some companies web sites are too traffic intense to share a server with any other sites. This is the point at which a dedicated server becomes a necessity. Many firms reach this point and are put in the position of being hosted on a dedicated server yet do not have the IT personnel with the background to manage a dedicated server. The knowledge requirements to upkeep the server operating system, updating security patches and handle the special circumstances that arise, require a great deal of in depth expertise.

The question then becomes can the firm afford to hire someone with the capabilities needed to take care of a managed dedicated server or would outsourcing the task be more practical? This question has to be answered by each individual company and all the factors are weighed according to the specific situations. The case could be for example that the firm is already needing additional IT help beyond the above needs and adding a qualified person would be a timely efficient solution. In most instances however it isnt practical to add full time specialized personnel, when getting managed services is an option for much less expense.

A company may have personnel on staff that are capable of operating a managed dedicated server. The question then becomes is time available to devote to such a server and is the person able to keep abreast of all the continual updates and changes that the server industry is constantly incurring? Again the issue is does the additional expense of managed services off set the added work load and responsibility that will be assigned to the existing staff. Since a dedicated server is definitely needed the managed dedicated server option can add as little as $250-$300/mo. to the total monthly outlay.

A final very important factor to consider in either of the above circumstances is how critical is the uptime of the company web site? Some firms can get along fine with a 99.9% uptime yet with others circumstances require 100% uptime. There are managed dedicated server hosts who offer 100% uptime. Be ready to pay top dollar if you want these characteristics in a host. Such uptime levels often demand redundant sites, elaborate multi-homed environment or possibly a backbone connection. companies such as E-Insites have seperate divisions dedicated to managed hosting. You can see their offerings at http://www.onlymanaged.com

Recapping a companys staffs ability and availability are main factors in choosing a dedicated server or a managed services. If there is staff available that has the capabilities to manage a dedicated server then by all means save some money each month and get a good dedicated server company to work with. On the other hand if the specialized staff isnt available or otherwise needed then a reputable managed dedicated server host will provide service that will leave the existing staff free to do what they do best to make your company thrive.
