Virtual Private Server (VPS)

temi — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:46:38 +0000

One choice of web hosting that has gained a lot of ground in recent times is the Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting. That is because it presents you with the flexibility, versatility and speeds of devoted and committed servers at a cost that is very much comparable to that of shared servers. This kind of web hosting is ideal for those who cannot afford the cost of a wholly committed server and are into the reseller hosting activity. They are also ideal for those who are owners of many websites and desire to provide each one with sufficient bandwidth so that they can be accessed speedily and without any of the problems associated with that of shared servers, notorious for slow speeds. VPS, all said and done is a very attractive option for most website owners.

But what exactly is a VPS?

This is a standalone server or mega computer, which is hosted on something called the VPS Node or another name for a physical server. The advantage with these VPS nodes is that they possess huge RAM and hard disk space which makes it possible to divide them into many VPS systems. As a consequence, every VPS has its own RAM along with sufficient hard disk space and can therefore function like an independent server, though it is deriving its resources from the mother VPS Node. The drive responses are quicker and there is no danger of any data loss. This method of operation enables you to load software that you require, including any operating system, without compromising on the performance of any of the other VPS systems on that particular mother Node.

The customer thus partakes of the hardware, power supply, network facilities of that Node and shares the same with other customers linked to that Node. This however, in no way compromises on the benefits of a VPS hosting system such as:

·    Dedicated RAM and disk space
·    Flexibility to load own operating system or other files
·    Control of administrative jobs like modifying server settings, freedom to load software
·    Running and maintaining the VPS like your own system, including booting and rebooting of the system

A VPS system is one which allows you the flexibility of something in between a shared and a dedicated kind of web hosting. This is therefore ideal for those who are at the moment enjoying services of a shared host, but wish to upgrade to an environment which gives them a dedicated facility without having to pay a great deal extra.

The security system of a VPS is another advantage. Since your VPS will have its own file system that is unique, there is no danger of anybody else getting access to your data and that provides for adequate peace of mind. Setting up a VPS is easy as well, thanks to the excellent start up support and tutorials presented by most service providers.

To summarize, hosting on a VPS is highly advocated for anybody wishing control, efficiency, speed and affordability. It is easy to avail of and many hosting companies include VPS in their service offering.

You can’t keep a good geek down - Steve Jobs back at work

temi — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:45:37 +0000

Nothing can keep a good geek down, be it cancer, liver transplant or anything you can think of, Steve Jobs keeps coming back. Steve Jobs, 54, Apple’s co-founder and Chief executive is said to have returned to work six months after his medical leave. Jobs is said to have had a liver transplant which must have gone very well because he is said to be expected back at his desk at the end of June.

Steve Jobs has had series of health issues over the years, In 2004, Mr Jobs was treated for pancreatic cancer, in 2008 there were fears that the cancer had returned when he appeared at a major Apple event looking thin and gaunt. In January 2009, Mr Jobs revealed that he was being treated for a “hormone imbalance”. Later Jobs told his staff that his medical problems were more complex than first thought and he would take six months off work to concentrate on his health.
The Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend that Mr Jobs underwent a liver transplant over two months ago. It is predicted that Mr Jobs will stay on as chief executive officer of Apple on a part-time basis with a view to moving on to become chairman of the company.
Jobs once gave up the post of CEO of Apple for some years, his absence saw a decline in apples fortunes which seem to rise again once Jobs came back into the help and introduce new innovative products to the Apple Mac offering including the very successful and popular music player, iPod.

Google challenged to make Gmail more secure

temi — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 08:51:55 +0000

Recently and open letter was sent to Google CEO Eric Schmidt by security experts, lawyers, and privacy advocates asking why Gmail users are “needlessly” being put at risk.The 38 strong signatories want Google to start using the secure version of the HTTP protocol to protect Gmail users.

Ben Edelman, one of the signatories to the letter argued that because more people use insecure Internet access - such as wi-fi in coffee shops, libraries, there’s a real risk of session hijacking,” Edelman argue further that though Gmail login process is done on HTTPS but once the user login session is completed, all data transmission is done on regular HTTP which is not secure, hi-tech criminals using sophisticated snooping devices can capture sensitive data or even hi-jack a Gmail account users session and send messages pretending to be the user.

Google responded to the open letter by saying that it will look into whether it made sense to use HTTPS all the time in Gmail but a trial on a small number of its users will be carried out to ensure user experience is not markedly changed by turning on HTTPS all the time.

Google’s Gmail users are not the only email account users exposed this way, most other leading free email services providers are guilty not placing the entire email using session on HTTPS. The main reason providers give for this is that HTTP slows down user experience because a lot of encrypting and decrypting goes on from users computer trough the email services provider servers thereby slowing down user experience.

It does take some time to make money through blogging. While you may keep making stray income from content that you write for other blogs, it is often not sustainable over a period of time. You need to be your own boss and for that you need to create your own blog and follow the steps outlined below.

How to create your own blog

Well, the options for creating a free blog that is your own are in the form of word press and Google’s own blogger. However, if you are really serious about making this a profitable and long term activity, then you need to host your blog with a domain name. This facility is also free with word press and being very user friendly with many supporting tutorials, you should not have any problem hosting one. New bloggers find this an excellent help.

Choose a subject

You need to choose a subject about which you are passionate about and on something which you can contribute regularly. Remember that it needs to be interesting enough to drive people to visit your blog on a regular basis and for that you have to be sure that you are choosing a subject that is dear to you and you have sufficient inputs that you can give.

If it is something technical, then you have to make sure that you have enough knowledge that can engage the attention of the visitors and they feel secure in the fact that your blogs are authentic and can be relied upon. Very soon, you will find that your blog establishes a reputation and you will have many visitors flocking to read it on a daily basis.

If you are not clear about the subject, you can do some research to find out what gets good attention and see whether you can contribute something in that direction.

Driving traffic to your blog and sustaining them

You need to first follow certain search engine optimization techniques that will enable a search engine to give your website a rank. Becoming aware of how a search engine ranks a particular website based on certain algorithms would be useful for you and you will find many articles on the internet that is devoted to this subject. Once your website gets a rank, you will find that you are able to attract visitors to your site and depending upon how interesting, informative and entertaining your blogs are, you will have regular traffic to your site.

Making sure that your site is known on some of the popular social networking sites is another way of publicizing your blog.
