Hello, One of my friends is trying to create a new image based website. Just like any other startup, he is not expecting a lot of traffic in the beginning. However, considering the traffic growth in the future, he is in lookout for a powerful web hosting platform. Here are the options he has thought of :

1) Get a dedicated server and store everything there.

2) Use Amazon services. This looks expensive! Isn't it?

3) Enable the users to connect their cloud storage account like Google Drive and store the images in there. But I think this might cause speed problems. Is it ok with Google? Is that Legal?

4) Utilize an online service like Bitcasa (Our own account). Is it legal and allowed? Will it cause speed problems?

Please note that my friend is trying his best to get an affordable web hosting solution. He also does not want to sacrifice on the website performance! What is the best option for him?

One of my friends is building a new website. He wants to opt for a CMS based hosting package. I would like to know how can one determine which CMS is right for the website? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

You will also have to configure the domain name ownership during the website transfer process. The following steps are required for that:

Transfer Domain Registrars – In this step, you are switching the domain registration providers. The original settings of the domain name will remain intact. However, the options like billing and support will change to the new domain registrar.

Switching Domain Name Servers – In this step, you will be retaining the existing domain registration provider, but you'll be switching the DNS for the domain name to point to the new web hosting provider.

I am sure they will have to spend a lot of time finding the prospects. Are there any other options for purchasing and selling the domain names?

Hello Everyone  :)

I would like to know if anyone of you sell the domain name to the end users on a regular basis? If you do so, could you please share information about selling the domain names and finding the potential customers for the domain names.

Web Hosting / Does green hosting really matter?
July 30, 2014, 05:03:04 PM
Recently I have come across a lot of 'green hosting' services.

I would like to know if it really matters! I am a nature friendly person myself but frankly, I think that the whole green hosting concept is a marketing strategy. A new way for the web hosting companies to generate sales.

I'll be glad to know about everyone's views on the green hosting concept.

You can also manage a multi-store eCommerce environment through the Magento platform. There are various ways for setting up multiple Magento stores that share the same code base and backed.

General Discussion / Google in domain name sales

As we all know that Google is going to enter the domain name registration field. What do you think will be the effect of this endeavor?

I have heard a lot about this! I would like to know the difference between name-based hosting and IP-based hosting.

Well this sounds great! I look forward to a good customer service  :)

Although you have covered almost every aspect important to determine the success and stability of an eCommerce website, I would like to add one important point. The most crucial aspect of an eCommerce website is the customer data, therefore, it is important to ensure the security of the website. Along with having the physical security like the SSL certificate, it is also important to assure the buyers that their information is secured and confidential on your website. Ensure that all the security badges are clearly displayed.

One of the biggest concerns that website owners have while selecting a web hosting package is figuring out how much bandwidth they'll need.

In case you sign up for a package with too less bandwidth, either you might be hit by overage fees or the functioning of your website might get affected. If the bandwidth offered is more than your requirement, then you are unnecessarily paying for the bandwidth that you don't actually need. So how do you know the exact amount of bandwidth required?

Have a look at this formula:

This is a simple multiplication formula that comprises of the website size, number of web pages and number of visitors your expect for your website in a day. With these numbers you will be able to derive the monthly bandwidth required for your website.

For example : You have 4 pages on your site and your page size is around 40KB. Suppose you expect about 60 visitors a day with each visitor viewing each page; the bandwidth of your website per day should be:

40KB x 60 visitors x 4 pages=9600 KB

Hope this works for you.....

I would like to know everyone's feedback on this...
