Now Install WordPress Blog On Self Hosted Domain

Ajay — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 11:35:26 +0000

Installing wordpress is not a rocket science now a days, any new webmaster can also do it without much difficulties. It is recommended to install wordpress from your cPanel as this would make it easy to create your database also. Though many of the web hosting services providers provide you some automated scripts for wordpress installation but installing it manually may help you to retain total control, installing wordpress on your localhost does not differ than general installation.

Following are the simple steps for installing wordpress on a self hosted domain.

Create A Database

You should create your database in the initial stage of wordpress installation, you can do this by entering in to your cPanel, there you can find Databases >> MySql databases >> Create a New Database. Once the database is created you can create multiple users and assign the required privileges to these database users as per your requirement.

Download and Upload WordPress

In this second step you need to download the wordpress zip file which is widely available in the internet but downloading it from the official website (wordpress.org) is always recommended. Once you have downloaded the file you can upload it directly on the server and extract it. This action will create a folder with name ‘Wordpress’ which will be the root folder and you need to move all the files to this folder.

Press ‘Refresh’ button and follow the given steps.

This is end part of your wordpress installation, you will be guided through the steps by which you need to fist add the database name, username and password, then you will have to add the username and password of email, after finishing all the processes successfully you can login and start posting.

So apart from creating database there is nothing different in installing wordpress on a local host than installing it on your cPanel hosting account.

Frequently Used Mysql Commands for Plesk Control Panel

Ajay — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 09:55:02 +0000

Though there are more number of users of cPanel due to higher number of webmasters demanding for cPanel shared hosting but still, Plesk is one of the best things for managing your windows web hosting accounts. In case you don’t have a password and want to backup or restore the database then you can go for the following commands

mysqldump -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` dbname > backupfile.sql

This command is used for taking MySQLdump backup of the database as a ‘admin’ user

mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` dbname < backupfile.sql

This command is used for restoring MySQLdump backup to an empty database as a ‘admin’ user

cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow

But still having the password with you is important so after running this command one can get the password for admin user in return. But one needs to run it in specific manner as given below.

mysqldump -uusername -ppassword dbname > backupfile.sql

mysql -uusername -ppassword dbname < backupfile.sql

When you are aware of password you can run the above commands for backup and restoration of you database.

(Note:- replace ‘username’ with your username, ‘password’ with your password and ‘dbname’ with your database name)

mysqlcheck -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -r databasename

By running the above command you can perform MySQL check for any possible repairs.

mysqlcheck -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -o databasename

The above command is for performing MySQL check for any possible optimization over it.

If you run a business oriented website then security is the area which needs to be specially taken care of. Backup is one of most important tasks on your website hosting account because it is the only hope for getting all your data back in disastrous situations like website got hacked, data is stolen away keeping your website totally empty, corruption in databases or data lost due to human errors.

It is also well known as cheap and highly reliable disk to disk server backup application for both Windows Server and Linux server, this utility is known as CDP (Continuous Data Protection) in Web Hosting Services industry.

Conventional backup solutions are found with certain limitations especially when the data needs to be protected continuously. In these old type of backup solutions the total data of a server is needed to be backed up at each time you need to perform a backup. This causes the load on your server to rise and such large files become difficult to manage, you need more disk space for it. R1Soft came up with the backup solution which is capable of detecting files which have been changed since you performed your last backup, and it only takes the backup of such files. R1Soft overwrites such changed files only and saves not only disk space but also the other resources on your web hosting account. Furthermore for reducing the size of the data backed up compression technology is used efficiently which further makes improvement in speed while the backup and restoration process goes on.

According to the official website of ‘R1Soft’ near about over 200,000 mission critical Windows and Linux servers use R1Soft’s high performance disk to disk server backup software around the world.

Hyper-V Cloud Hosting

Josh — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:51:33 +0000

Hyper V is the virtualization application included as part of Window Server 2008 and is designed to provide larger businesses with a platform on which they can create virtual machines to take the place of physical servers, a method that will allow them to save money. With Hyper V cloud hosting, you are able to combine the efficiency and stability of an established platform such as Hyper V with the reliability and security of a cloud hosting environment, providing you with a web hosting environment that will serve your website to your visitors without failure and that you can be confident won’t be compromised by hackers. Windows cloud hosting services are recommended for businesses that use any type of Microsoft technology somewhere within their corporate infrastructure, whether this is Microsoft Exchange Server for email or Microsoft SQL Server for your database requirements. Furthermore, some web developers also specialize in creating web applications specifically for the Windows platform with the use of ASP.NET as this is a scripting framework that has been developed by Microsoft and is therefore only compatible with Windows servers; however, this close tie does allow web developers to create highly functional web applications that are able to make the most of what the server and operating system have to offer. Compared to other solutions that are available for Windows virtual hosting, Hyper V cloud hosting represents the best solution as it is integrated into the hosting node’s operating system, therefore allowing virtual machines better access to the resources that they have been provided with – other performance benefits will also be available.

What are the benefits of Hyper V cloud hosting?

There are several different benefits available to users of Hyper V cloud hosting solutions, including:

OS level partitioning – as Hyper V is part of the core of Windows Server 2008, any virtual machines that you create are part of the operating system layer – this is as opposed to conventional virtualization applications that create an application layer on top of the operating system in which the virtual machines are held – as the VMs are part of the OS layer, they have direct access to the resources that they have been assigned and this will allow them to perform better and will aid with the reliability of individual virtual machines – furthermore, it also makes it easier for system administrators to manage their Hyper V cloud hosting nodes as it for them it is less to familiarize themselves with
Stability – the OS level nature of Hyper V means that Hyper V virtual machines will be a lot more stable than those hosted using third-party solutions – even though the cloud environment is designed to offer up to 100% guaranteed uptime, there are other factors that could affect the performance of individual VMs, but not the cloud directly – one of the main reasons behind choosing cloud hosting is the added reliability that is to be had from using a virtual machine that is hosted in a distributed environment and so it is important for web hosting companies to implement measures where possible to guarantee the stability of their Hyper V cloud hosting services – even though Windows isn’t known to be the most reliable operating system available, this has changed with the introduction of Windows Server 2008 and when it comes down to management it is also important for an experienced support team to take control of servers that are hosting precious websites, simply because they know what they are doing and will be able to fix issues as they arise
Pricing – as Hyper V is part of the Windows operating system, it is one less application license that web hosting providers have to pay for, therefore meaning that it is one less cost to be passed on to the consumer – in the past where web hosting providers have had to use third-party virtualization tools for their Windows cloud hosting services, the costs associated with using these applications was always quite high and because the cost had to be passed on to consumers through the prices that they paid for Windows cloud hosting, this form of cloud hosting didn’t always prove to be too popular.

Why should I choose Windows cloud hosting?

There are several different reasons as to why you should choose Windows cloud hosting as your web hosting package of choice, such as:

SQL Server hosting – as a larger business you are probably use to using Microsoft SQL Server and a Windows cloud hosting environment will provide you with the perfect environment in which you can host your SQL Server databases – regardless of the medium in which you use Microsoft SQL Server, it is still important for you to use a reliable hosting solution for your database hosting requirements as even if your databases are unavailable then your frontend applications won’t function correctly because they won’t be able to retrieve their configuration settings or content
Exchange Server hosting – Microsoft Exchange Server is an enterprise-class collaboration platform used by businesses of all sizes to provide employees with calendar, email and management facilities – although often hosted in-house on custom servers, the cloud is also an ideal environment in which to setup an Exchange Server cluster – you can pool multiple virtual machines together to create your own Exchange cluster, allowing you to eliminate the single point of failure to a good extent, therefore enabling you to introduce a stable and highly functional collaboration system to your business.

In conclusion, Hyper V cloud hosting is the ideal cloud hosting solution for Windows web developers and Windows application developers looking for a solution that will provide them with a reliable environment in which they can develop and host their ASP web applications. The number of technologies that are unique to the Windows platform mean that there will always be a demand for Windows cloud hosting services, although the price tag attached with such services means that development for the Windows platform is usually a practice that is reserved for larger businesses and enterprises.

Comparing Dedicated Hosting with Cloud Hosting

Josh — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 19:37:33 +0000

Dedicated server hosting has long been seen as the most reliable form of hosting available and the best option for businesses looking for flexibility in their hosting arrangements because of the different hardware and software configurations that are available. However, with dedicated server hosting being fairly expensive, cloud hosting is now being seen as a real alternative to businesses that require high resource hosting services at an affordable price; furthermore, in a majority of cases a cloud hosting service will provide a higher level of uptime than a dedicated server, with 100% guaranteed uptime being the average offering across the industry. For a majority of businesses the only advantage of choosing a dedicated server over a cloud hosted virtual machine is the physical existence of the dedicated server because this allows for a number of different hardware configurations; however, RAID hard drives configurations and extra PCI cards are only usually requirements of larger businesses that run their own data centres. For the most part you will find that a cloud virtual machine can provide you with similar resources to a dedicated server with ease, with the ability to increase the resources of virtual machines with just a few clicks – if you were to do this with a dedicated server then you would have to take the server offline whilst RAM, hard drives or other additional hardware is added to the server. Regardless of the platform that you choose, you will always have the choice between Windows and Linux; businesses make their choice of operating system based on their own needs and so it is important for web hosting services providers to recognize that there is a need to offer both operating systems to customers.

Why should I choose a dedicated server over a cloud hosting plan?

If you have specific requirements then you may find yourself having to choose a dedicated server over a cloud web hosting plan for some of the following reasons:

Hardware configurations – a dedicated server allows for a number of different physical hardware configurations as per your needs, something that isn’t achievable with a cloud hosting plan because you will be using virtual machines that have no physical manifestation and therefore use virtual resources only – one of the best examples of how hardware configurations can benefit you in a dedicated server is using a hard drives in a RAID configuration to prevent data loss in the event of a hard drive failure – furthermore, you may wish to have a PCI card or other additional component added to your dedicated server to add functionality that isn’t included as standard, a good example of which would be a GSM module that will then allow you to develop web applications that can then send SMS messages out to your users
Resource availability – the resources available with a dedicated server will often provide better performance than a virtual machine of the same specifications simply because you are using a physical server – for example, even though a virtual machine can be configured in the cloud with multiple CPU cores, a dedicated server that has been configured to use physical CPUs with 4 cores each then this will always outperform a virtual machine of the same number of or more cores – furthermore, access to storage in a cloud environment has the potential to be rather slow whereas with a dedicated server using hard drives or even SSDs, data access is going to be incredibly fast when compared
Operating system choice – with a dedicated server you will be offered a wider range of operating systems, with some web hosting providers even allowing you to provide the installation disc for any OS that you wish to use but they may not necessarily offer, it’s just down to you to prove that you hold a valid license if it’s a commercial OS – some businesses use their own custom Linux distributions and so this is where the benefit lies as most cloud hosting services usually restrict you to using the pre-defined OS templates that have been put in place by your web hosting provider with your virtual machines.

Why should I choose a cloud hosting plan over a dedicated server?

It is important to note that cloud hosting can offer you benefits over a dedicated server, including:

Lower costs – a cloud hosting plan will provide you with a cheaper solution when compared to a dedicated server, simply because the cloud can provide you with mass resources in an environment that is shared with other users, therefore allowing the costs to be spread amongst multiple customers – some businesses may choose to migrate to cloud hosting from dedicated server hosting as a way of saving money as dedicated servers (especially high specification ones) can be expensive to run as well as maintain
Expandability – although additional hardware resources can be added to a dedicated server with ease, with a cloud virtual machine you can add additional resources with just a few clicks as once you have chosen what you want and paid, the resources will be provisioned to your virtual machine(s) almost instantaneously – in the cloud you are able to expand the resources of your virtual machines almost endlessly as the pool of resources is pretty much unlimited because a resources become scarce, web hosting providers simply add additional servers to the cloud to meet the demand for extra capacity
Ease of use – if you decide not to use a control panel with your dedicated server then the only other way in which you will be able to manage your server will be over Remote Desktop or SSH and in both cases it is going to be important for you to have some previous knowledge of Windows or Linux in order to perform maintenance properly – with a cloud hosting service you will of course have the option for a web hosting control panel, but alongside this you will also be provided with access to a control panel that will allow you to manage the state of your VMs (turn them on or off etc.) and reinstall them if necessary using the virtual machine templates that are on offer.

Comparing Cloud Hosting with Shared Hosting

Josh — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 19:29:58 +0000

Shared web hosting is seen as the cheapest form of web hosting available and is designed to provide beginners with a stepping stone into web hosting through the provisioning of a hosting environment that is ideal for testing purposes and is pretty much fool-proof. Shared cloud hosting is designed to build upon the success of this by providing you with shared web hosting within a cloud environment, guaranteeing you up to 100% uptime, but without the disadvantages that often accompany shared web hosting products. Several comparisons can be drawn between cloud hosting and shared hosting and it is important to be aware of these differences so that you know what you are paying extra for with a cloud hosting service; the differences between the two aren’t massive, but the idea of cloud hosting is to provide you with an enhanced shared hosting experience that will allow you to build a successful website without the worry of having to upgrade your web hosting plan as your website grows. With the uptake of cloud hosting services ever-increasing, the cost of your average shared cloud hosting plan is always falling and eventually a majority of hosting services will be cloud-based meaning that there will come a point when businesses of all sizes will be able to afford reliable hosting plans. The shared cloud will also be able to improve the image of shared hosting as this for a long time has been tarnished by unreliable hosting services, unsecure servers and poor support; with the shared cloud, hosting companies are aiming to provide a reliable and efficient service that is coupled with effective and helpful support.

Reliability

The reliability of a cloud hosting plan will far outweigh the uptime offered by a shared web hosting service as the cloud is designed to provide up to 100% guaranteed uptime and this is evident in the architecture of the cloud, whereas your average shared web hosting plan will be using a single server configuration meaning that unless the server is managed properly, it is highly unlikely that you will ever be provided with anything beyond 99% uptime monthly. The base of any cloud environment is a cluster of servers used in conjunction with network attached storage (NAS) devices to ensure that data is fairly distributed between each machine in the cloud; this architecture allows hosting companies to ensure that if one of the servers does fail, the performance of the entire cloud isn’t compromised in any way. Service Level Agreements (SLAs) often accompany a majority of cloud hosting services, but not shared hosting plans; an SLA will detail what you are entitled to if your web hosting company fails to meet the uptime guarantee that they promise – compensation is usually an option for businesses that are able to declare lost earnings.

Pricing Structure

Shared cloud hosting plans and standard shared hosting plans also use different pricing structures. For the most part you will be able to design your own cloud hosting plan that features the resources that you require from a web hosting plan, allowing you to put together something that utilizes the resources that only you need – this guarantees that you will never be paying what you aren’t going to use and probably won’t need. Although beneficial for some, standard cloud web hosting services usually follow a pre-set pricing structure of several different web hosting plans for you to choose from, with there being little room for maneuver on the price that you pay or the resources that accompany the hosting plan in question; in some cases this could mean that you end up paying for resources that you don’t need and therefore means that you are going to be wasting money.

Security

Shared cloud hosting services will provide you with a more secure hosting solution as the servers in the cloud usually communicate privately over vLANs, with there being very few public facing servers. The issue with a single server configuration for shared hosting is that the data is stored in one place meaning that if a hacker manages to gain access to the hosting server, that hacker will be able to steal all the data easily; in the cloud, your data is likely to be distributed across multiple servers meaning that even if one server is compromised, hackers won’t be able to steal anything of an value. With emphasis being increasingly put on security, web hosting providers are going to put as much focus as possible on securing their servers to provide a secure hosting environment to their customers.

Expandability

With most standard shared web hosting services you are often limited with your upgrade options because when you are only able to choose from a set of pre-defined web hosting plans, there will come a point when you are no longer able to upgrade any further and have to begin considering another form of web hosting for your needs. This is different with the shared cloud however, as you can add additional resources to your web hosting account as and when you wish to without the need to upgrade the entire hosting plan; if you simply require additional disk space or want a bit more bandwidth then these resources plus others associated with your web hosting account can be increased incrementally as you wish with you only having to pay what for what you wish to add – this will save you money over having to upgrade your entire web hosting plan to end up with additional resources that you probably won’t use to their full effect.

In conclusion, if you are after shared hosting plan that can offer you additional reliability whilst allowing you to configure a hosting plan based around your own needs then shared cloud hosting is the best option for you. Web hosting providers are increasingly phasing out their shared web hosting product lines in order to promote their cloud hosting products more clearly. In either case, the shared cloud is the way to go and will even provide beginners with a suitable and easy-to-use solution.

Importance of Cloud Hosting Solutions

Josh — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:08:56 +0000

Cloud hosting is becoming ever more popular with individuals and businesses requiring a reliable web hosting experience that isn’t going to break the bank. With cloud web hosting now being offered by a number of different web hosting companies, it is possible to find a solution that can offer you the specifications that you require for a price that suits you; as is the case when choosing hosting, you should review each potential web hosting provider equally to guarantee that you choose the right combination of provider and plan for your needs. Different types of cloud web hosting are available, although most providers aim to offer 100% uptime with their cloud hosting solutions so that they are able to remain competitive and so that their product offerings are attractive to customers; in most cases you can choose between standard shared web hosting in the cloud as well as cloud VPS hosting. The architecture of cloud web hosting environments allows web hosting providers to offer greater resource allocations with their web hosting plans, something that is likely to benefit many websites that use large amounts of multimedia content as in such situations there is always going to be demand for greater disk space and bandwidth assignments. If you develop your websites for a specific platform then you should also have the opportunity to choose between Windows and Linux cloud web hosting plans as you require; a Windows cloud hosting plan will be able to offer you reliable web hosting for ASP.NET websites that use Microsoft SQL Server, whereas a Linux cloud hosting offering is going to be more suitable for developers using PHP as their scripting language and MySQL Server as their database backend.

What are the core benefits of choosing cloud hosting?

There are many benefits to using cloud web hosting, regardless of what you decide to use your cloud web hosting solution for. Some of the benefits of choosing a cloud hosting plan include:

Reliable web hosting – a majority of cloud hosting services are designed to offer up to 100% guaranteed uptime, a figure that is achieved through the use of innovative software solutions and a strong network backbone – as a business you are likely to rely on the internet as a source of income, therefore increasing the importance of using a reliable hosting solution as the result of downtime for you could easily be lost business and earnings – there are many other web hosting solutions available that claim to offer 100% uptime, but the clustered nature of a cloud web hosting environment leaves cloud hosting services being the only hosting services that can truly offer 100% uptime
Increased resource allocations – cloud hosting plans will come with improved resource allocations over what you may be use to with existing shared web hosting plans and VPS server hosting plans, providing you with the perfect upgrade path if you are beginning to run out of resources with your existing web hosting plan, for example this could occur as your visitor numbers increase or add additional content to your website – depending on your chosen cloud web hosting provider and service, you may have the facility to add additional resources to your account individually as and when you wish to
Scalability and choice – some cloud hosting services are designed to be scalable and to fit individual user requirements uniquely so that you can design a web hosting plan that is based around your own needs, as opposed to choosing a rather generic web hosting plan that could result in you paying for resources that you simply don’t need and won’t use – under such arrangements you will be able to add individual resource assignments to your account and will only have to pay for what you are going to use, for example if you choose a cloud VPS server then you may wish to add RAM or disk space to improve the performance of your virtual machine.

How can cloud hosting help my business and me?

Increasing importance is being put on how cloud web hosting is able to assist businesses with reaching their customers in an age where the internet is beginning to play a bigger part in sales than physical cash sales. For businesses that function in the retail sector then a cloud hosting plan is the ideal platform on which to build an online e-commerce store; the practical security and reliability options offered by cloud web hosting will allow you to earn back the money that you have invested in your hosting plan in no time at all.

Depending on the form of web hosting that you are using presently, cloud hosting will also benefit you through the cost savings that can be achieved. By choosing a dynamic cloud hosting plan that allows you to specify the resources that you require, you will only be paying for the resources that you need and nothing more – the disadvantage of selecting a generic web hosting plan is that often there will be resources going to waste.

The choice between Windows and Linux enables you to make an informed choice as to which cloud hosting plan will be most suitable for you; Windows plans are best suited for Windows web developers using technologies such as ASP.NET and Microsoft SQL Server, whereas Linux cloud hosting is aimed at PHP and MySQL web developers. This will benefit you and your business by allowing you to identify the technologies that you have available at your disposal and how best to use these to meet your aims and objectives, along with ensuring that your web hosting plan provides you with good value for money.

As a conclusion we can say that cloud hosting is becoming increasingly important with businesses that are looking to achieve cost savings whilst being able to maintain a reliable website. The wide range of cloud hosting services available means that it should be fairly easy to choose a web hosting plan that suits your needs ideally without going over budget, enabling you to focus on the more important task of developing your website.

cPanel Cloud Hosting

Josh — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 19:00:20 +0000

Benefits of cPanel Cloud Hosting

Many benefits can be had from choosing to use cPanel cloud hosting, some of which include, but are not limited to:

Low cost cloud hosting – by using cPanel and Linux in a cloud environment, web hosting services providers are able to offer low cost cloud web hosting that is affordable for all parties without compromising on the level of quality or uptime that is offered – for many businesses it is important to keep an eye on the outgoings and if it’s possible to save money in a certain area then it is important to embrace any opportunities that will allow you to do this – furthermore, there is no point in paying an extortionate price for a web hosting plan if you are sure that you can purchase a similar plan from another web hosting provider for a reduced sum of money
Intuitive web hosting control panel – cPanel is the most popular Linux web hosting control panel available and is used by a number of web hosting providers to offer Linux shared web hosting services – in the cloud cPanel will provide you with a reliable platform on which you can host your website and the services related to the control panel rarely fail, meaning that as long as the software if used in an environment that can offer unparalleled performance, such as a cloud environment, then you will be using a pretty much fail-proof hosting solution
Resource choices – the architecture of a cloud web hosting environment dictates that a number of servers are pooled together to provide the resource pool from which web hosting services can be formed – the power of having many servers clustered together in this formation allows web hosting providers to be very generous with the resources that they offer with their cPanel cloud hosting plans, therefore meaning that they will easily represent good value for money – depending on the hosting provider that you choose, there may also be the option to choose the resources for your cPanel cloud hosting plan based around your own specific needs.

Reseller Hosting with cPanel

cPanel is one of the best solutions available for resellers as you will have access to WHM (Web Host Manager), a control panel that is separate to cPanel and has been designed with system administrators and resellers in mind through the advance account and server management features that it provides. As a reseller hosting customer there are several features that you will want access to include:

Web hosting plan management
Client management
Feature management.

By providing the above, along with other features, in a separate control panel, cPanel has been able to develop the client-side control panel to be one that is better suited to beginners so that your clients are able to manage their own accounts easily.

Uptime Offered by Cloud Hosting

Any good web hosting company should be able to offer 100% guaranteed uptime with their cloud web hosting services, removing the worry of whether your website is going to be available or not. As multiple servers are clustered together to create a cloud hosting environment, if one server fails then there will be other servers available to pick up the slack of the crashed server until it is repaired and is ready for service again.

Compared to other forms of web hosting, a cloud hosting service is probably the most reliable hosting service available and this is without pushing the price up too much. For a long time the most reliable form of hosting has been dedicated server hosting and this has always been an expensive option; cloud web hosting has been able to provide those on a lower budget with the reliability benefits witnessed with cloud hosting, but at a much lower price that many will be able to justify and afford.

In conclusion, cPanel in a cloud environment is one of the best hosting combinations available, providing you with reliable hosting on a reliable platform at an affordable price. If you are a beginner then cPanel cloud hosting will be a good choice for you as the control panel interface is very intuitive and easy to use, with there being many tutorials available to provide you with assistance on completing a number of different tasks if you are unsure. Many providers will also offer full support with their cPanel cloud hosting plans giving you the ability to call on a professional support team if you are unsure of how to do something.
