MilesWeb Hosting Forum

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?

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.

Thanks for the detailed description. 

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.

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.

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

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...
