Server Colocation

YourNextHostNoc — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 02:00:48 +0000

At our co location facility we place your computer system or mulitple computer systems. Our co location facility enables you to take maximum advantage of hight-level internet bandwidth ensuring that your information is delivered onto the web in a fast reliable way.

Colocation Hosting

With a colocation facility there is no need to pay for your own expensive circuits at your location, using a colocation facility allows you to have a reliable and higher level of uptime. You are also able to choose a level of network performance that facilitates fast and seamless growth as well as meets your requirements as your hosting needs change. Another reason colocation hosting is advantageous is due to the fact that network engineers monitor your servers internet connection 24 hours, 7 days a week and in the unlikely event that there is a problem, there is a team of experts working around the clock to resolve the problem quickly and effectively.
Managed Hosting v/s Server Co-location
Managed Hosting is a server owned and managed by YourNextHost. Managed hosting services will normally include server processes, hardware monitoring, data backup and occasionally, even operating system level management. Managed Hosting services may include a host of other services covered by the individual provider support agreement. Server co location includes rack space and bandwidth at the data center, but you are responsible for all other aspects of your servers. Aegean Colocation Managed Hosting services are offered as value-add services for some extra cost. Read our article about virtual private server hosting.

Learn More About Shared Web Hosting

YourNextHostNoc — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 07:00:07 +0000

Do you want web hosting at a low price? Then shared web hosting is the thing for you. As you share server with others the providers are able to offer its customers very reasonable prices.

More about Shared Hosting

The shared web hosting service is shared by many users and must include system administration. This is beneficial to users that do not want to deal with it, but an impediment to power users that want more control.

Shared hosting normally uses a web-based control panel system, such as cPanel, DirectAdmin, Plesk, Sphera, Ensim, Helm, H-sphere, or one of many other control panel products. Control panels and web interfaces have been involved in a controversial debate.

The hosting provider for shared Linux hosting accounts is in charge of installation of server software, management of servers, security updates and other features of the services.

Servers are often based on the Linux operating systems because more Control Panel products are made for Linux. Though, some providers offer Microsoft Windows or FreeBSD based solutions. The Plesk control panel, for instance, has two versions – for Linux and Windows, both with very alike interfaces and functionality, with the exception of OS-specific differences (for example, supporting ASP.NET, or Microsoft SQL Server on Windows).

A great part of the shared web host market is driven through Pay Per Click advertising (PPC) or affiliate programs. Shared hosting can also be done privately by sharing the cost of running a server, this is called cooperative hosting.

Implementation - Shared hosting can be accomplished in two ways: IP-based and name-based.

IP-based - In IP-based shared web hosting, also called dedicated IP hosting, each virtual web host has a different IP address. The web server is configured with multiple physical network interfaces, or virtual network interfaces on the same physical interface. The web server software uses the IP address the client connects to in order to determine which web site to show the user.

Name-based - In name-based virtual hosting, also called shared IP hosting, the virtual hosts serve multiple hostnames on a single machine with a single IP address. When a web browser requests a resource from a web server using HTTP/1.1 it includes the requested hostname as part of the request. The server uses this information to determine which web site to show the user.

Name-based shared hosting have some disadvantages: They do not properly support secure websites (HTTPS). All name-based virtual hosts using the same IP address must share the same digital certificate. This is because the SSL/TLS handshake takes place before the hostname is sent to the server. Thus the server doesn’t know which encryption key to use when the connection is made. An extension to the TLS protocol, part of RFC 3546 – Transport Layer Security (TLS) Extensions, specifies a way for the client to provide the requested host name as part of the handshake, but it is not yet widely implemented.

If the Domain Name System is malfunctioning, it is harder to use a name-based virtually-hosted website. Typically, in this case, the user could fall back to using the IP address to contact the system, as in http://127.0.0.1/ (invalid IP for example only). However, the web browser doesn’t know what hostname to send to the server, but a name-based virtual host requires it. They will not function with browsers that do not send the hostname as part of requests. This is true for older HTTP/1.0 browsers that have not retrofitted the host field feature from the HTTP/1.1 protocol.

All in all, the vast majority of websites can rely on shared hosting to host their website. Shared website hosting is cheap and reliable so you do not have to stress about quality of the host you have. Should your site expand, then down the line you can expand and get a bigger plan.

Cheap Web Hosting

YourNextHostNoc — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 23:00:35 +0000

Cheap web hosting is a perfect solution for anyone looking to set up a personal website or a small online business from as low as $3 a month.

How do I find the Cheapest Web Hosting Plan?

One might think that budget hosting means a compromise in quality. This could not be further from the truth. Listed above are serious companies, still offering e.g. disk space, free domains and unlimited traffic, just at a better price. Cheap website hosting plans offer excellent capacity, quality and security.

Budget Hosting is a Popular Market

The cheap webhosting market in the recent years has grown tremendously; increasing competition in the segment. For the buyer, this has been a positive change with lower prices and increased capacity and services, but unfortunately some less serious actors have appeared on the market looking to make a quick buck. You can rest assure that YourNextHost is not one of these fly by night operations, we just offer well credited affordable web hosting. You will simply get more for less.

Capacity and Flexibility

These shared hosting plans are cheap because you share one server with several other customers. The resources from one small part of a server is usually enough for most websites. However, if you need a more flexible (e.g. installing custom scripts) and powerful (many visitors and/or heavy content) home for your website(s) you should take a look at our Virtual Private Servers.

What Else is There to Think About?

There are a few things you have to consider when shopping for cheap web hosting. The type of site you want to set up will dictate the type of hosting you choose as well as the features you’ll need from your web host. Each website is a little bit different, but the multitude of shared hosting plans available can cover many different needs at a low price.

Do You Need Shared Hosting or a Virtual Private Server?

Shared hosting is ideal for: • Self-hosted blogs like WordPress.org • Small businesses in need of a web presence • Personal websites • Online storefronts with small inventories Virtual private servers (VPS) work better when: • A lot of customized scripting needs to be installed • Downloads or uploads of large files will be frequent on the site • High volumes of visitors per day are expected, creating a draw on bandwidth

Benefits of Shared Web Hosting

Most casual web users don’t have the knowledge or experience to set up complex scripting by themselves. But the best thing about shared hosting plans is that you get a great deal of control over things that require scripts, coding or databases without having to worry about too many details. And if you do have a problem with something, shared hosting plans come with many levels of tech support. The majority of today’s shared hosting plans give you the ability to set up e-mail accounts, a blog installation, secure ecommerce tools such as shopping carts and a whole host of other bells and whistles to improve the usability of your site. This basically means that you get to concentrate on making your website exactly what you want it to be. Other useful features of shared web hosting include a large amount of file storage space, generous monthly bandwidth allotments and often a free domain for your site.

The Bottom Line

If you’re unfamiliar with scripting, are running a standard website without a lot of media or are in need of a broad spectrum of features at a budget-friendly price, shared hosting is the way to go. Low prices allow you to stay within your budget without sacrificing the features or functionality you need to improve and expand your web presence.

What is Reseller Web Hosting

YourNextHostNoc — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 01:00:57 +0000

Reseller web hosting is when you buy server space, market it yourself, and sell it on to your own customers.

What is Reseller Web Hosting?

Reseller hosting is one type of web hosting. Here the account owner may divide up their selected hard drive space and bandwidth and resell web hosting. Usually, resellers are web consultants who are also web developers and designers and a web or a system-integration company. Web hosting for them is an extra service along with other host of services. Web hosting provider often gives a discount of 50 percent or more to the resellers on the price of a reseller hosting account. Web hosting resellers are normally not in charge of maintaining web server services or other maintenance related responsibilities but just a “web hosting provider.” In cases of any technical problems, such as server down and access problem, the responsibility falls on the owner of the dedicated server in which the reseller host is hosted. Generally, a web hosting reseller can set up its web hosting company on the Internet and start selling web hosting plans under its own brand name. Web host reselling is made very easy through “GUI Control Panels” (Graphical User Interface). Some of the reseller programs offer customs Control Panel for their resellers’ customers, but a major part of the reseller programs offer the popular, well-known Control Panels.

DirectAdmin (Linux / Unix)
Ensim Pro (Windows & Linux / Unix)
Helm (Windows)
Webmin (Linux / Unix)
Hosting Controller (Unix & Windows)
WHM/cPanel (Windows (beta) & Linux / Unix)
Plesk (Windows & Linux / Unix)

YourNextHost specializes in custom Linux servers and Windows servers, and knows exactly how to get the maximum performance for your Internet applications. We offer a wide range of Administration Control Panels to select to help manage your server.
