Due to this reality the evolution of the internet has been adapted to a simpler level of knowledge. And finding services to fill you more complex needs might be hard. This is a common scenario for web hosting clients that demand more advanced services.

Look for Web Host Resellers

When most web hosts has a customer-base consisting of inexperienced website owners it might be hard finding web hosts that offer more advanced services. One advice is to look further into web host resellers.

In order to stand out in the vast competition of other web hosting businesses these resellers will often combine a basic service package with more advanced web host services.

Quality service

As we mentioned above web host reseller are the best alternative if your web host needs are more specific that simply disk space, bandwidth and a domain. If you are looking for hosting servers based on other languages than ASP and PHP you will not find it at the biggest web hosting businesses.

Web host resellers often narrow their business by focusing on specific users. By offering incentives like ColdFusion servers resellers are often able to build up a safe and loyal customer base. And even though their clientele may be slim the demand of more advanced web host customers are higher. The maintenance of quality services is hence vital in order to keep customers.

Less customers - More work

One of the reasons why many web hosts choose to go for the basic need –customer is because many advanced services demands a lot from the web hosts company. Offering services like colocation servers web hosting businesses has to devote more time and energy on single customers rather than profiting on a wide range of customers that purchase more easy-to-maintain services.

If you do not know anybody that has a web hosting business the best solution would be to contact a smaller web host reseller that specialized on what you need. You will get better service and support and be able to sleep at night knowing that your server or website is in good hands.

“Anyone can get a .com name with 48 characters in it — or they can get a simple .pro name that’s trusted by their peers, colleagues and — hopefully — consumers,” he said.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann), the Internet’s governing body, originally approved the addition of .pro and six other new top-level domains two years ago. (Top-level domains are the largest building blocks of the Web’s address system, organising sites by general categories such as .com, .edu, and .gov.) At the time, many predicted a land grab for names related to the domains, from those who missed out on popular dot-com addresses rushing to get a piece of the action.

However, domain names such as .info and .name haven’t been as popular as predicted, partly because they didn’t bring the cachet that comes with a .com name.

Nevertheless, RegistryPro’s Gaon is optimistic that doctors and lawyers in particular will seek out .pro addresses, partly because of the authentication requirements.

“Many doctors and lawyers were getting .coms, but there have been a lot of imposters,” Gaon said, noting that a number of people with .com addresses had posed as doctors to sell Viagra and similar products online. “Dot-com is sort of the Park Avenue of domain names. But it has become bastardised with porn, gambling and other types of sites.”

As a registry, RegistryPro does not sell directly to applicants, but instead provides domain names to resellers known as registrars. Under rules proposed by ICANN, a company typically acts as either a registrar or registry, but not as both.

In the case of the .pro, RegistryPro also plays the role of a gatekeeper. In order to get a .pro domain name, applicants must prove that they’re a doctor, lawyer or accountant. The company, which is a subsidiary of Register.com, collects licensing information from applicants in order to verify their professions.

Right now, the .pro registration process is in the so-called sunrise phase, when copyright holders are allowed to come forward and claim Web addresses bearing their name, according to RegistryPro. The cost for a .pro domain name will be about $300 per year, well above the $35 that some registrars charge. RegistryPro said the remaining names will be doled out on a first-come, first-served basis to applicants who aren’t copyright and trademark holders, starting sometime in September, when the .pro names first go online.

The Pirate Bay, the world’s largest torrent tracker has taken up a surprising new residence. The site, which hosts over 630,000 torrents, moved aboard the domain ifpi.com, which formerly belonged to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).

While many may be unfamiliar with the IFPI, its work is familiar to many. The IFPI is the parent organization of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).

The IFPI has been a champion of lawsuits against internet pirates, increasing the scope of copyright laws and developing DRM technologies to stop users from copying their songs or media. Its actions have been mirrored by its lower level affiliates such as the RIAA.

The group, one of the world’s leading BitTorrent trackers, has hoisted its flag over the IFIP.com domain.

The address was, until recently, owned by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), an industry body representing the recording industry worldwide.

In an interview with the Torrentfreak blog, the Pirate Bay team said it would use the domain to host a site for the International Federation of Pirate Interests (alsoIFPI), a newly formed organisation dedicated to spreading the word about piracy.
