Hosting and Cloud Computing.

October 4th, 2010

What Does the Future Hold?

The promise of cloud computing is huge and many of us in the hosting industry have solutions or ideas on what the hosting future looks like. The only fact that remains constant is the constant amount of change that moves through this industry.

It is our belief that hosting providers and datacenters need the right set of tools to manage the increasing complex computing configurations customers demand. CloudLinux was created for just this purpose. As we look to the future, there are some themes we at Cloud Linux think are important to consider when thinking about what lies ahead.

Space
For hosting providers, space is a big deal. Whether it is space on a shared server or space in your datacenter, space costs money. There was a time when bigger was better – the more servers you had, the more important you must be. But that may be changing. With the cost of datacenter space, electricity and cooling on the rise, it is time to reconsider this idea. There just is no such thing as infinite datacenter space or unlimited dollars to cover management costs.  So how do you maximize the space you have? Density and stability are the keys to solving the growing space issues. Improving server stability and therefore increasing density helps hosting providers do more with the same amount of infrastructure.

Security
Another key theme for the future is security. Headlines are filled with cyber threats and identity theft. Consumers, enterprises and small businesses alike are increasingly concerned about security.  Because of this dynamic they will continue to put pressure on their service providers to improve security and protect their data, identities and networks.

Efficiency
As the complexity of computing grows, we need to take efficiency to the next level. To keeping servers running efficiently as well as making our technical staff manage more and more complex solutions, it becomes increasingly important to maximize the efficiency of operations. At Cloud Linux, our solutions are purposely built with this goal in mind.

Dedicated IP Web Hosting

August 4th, 2010

There is a kind of web hosting available that is called dedicated IP web hosting. This is also sometimes called static web hosting. This type of hosting provides a unique IP address that is used exclusively for each individual server space or domain. An individual browsing the Internet can access this information held in any one of these servers by going onto a website with a certain domain name or IP address.

There will be differences in these web hosting accounts depending on whether the IP address is shared or unique. A unique IP address can be bought simply by placing an order with any of the multitude service providers that are available. These web hosting companies will provide a unique IP address after full payment has been made. These websites allow the customer to upload content and other files to their own personal, secure web space.

These types of web hosting accounts are ideal for larger businesses or for e-commerce websites that need to be certain that their site offers the most in security. Dedicated IP web hosting is also ideal for individuals that want to buy the unique IP addresses for a premium price. Some individuals may find that they want to go this route due to the fact that it will prevent the website from collecting spam, a problem that can often occur when using a shared website.

Another advantage to using a dedicated IP web hosting service is that it provides for greater flexibility while also allowing for more complex hosting. Two advantages of this are that they include a private SSL certificate and an anonymous FTP. An SSL certificate provides for online businesses that need to make sure that their customers will have secure transactions. The advantage of an anonymous FTP allows people to share information on the Internet. This will allow anybody who is using the Internet to go to that company’s website and access a public directory by using FTP software.

By gaining a dedicated IP web hosting account and securing a unique IP address, it allows the business owner to have full control over their website. By obtaining a dedicated IP address, it allows individuals or business owners to get the most benefit out of their website. This will result in better search engine results, which are much sought after by businesses.

Dedicated IP addresses are highly valued and are considered as prime Internet real estate. Because of this, there are sometimes high service fees associated with this kind of service. It is possible however to find a web hosting company that will offer dedicated IP addresses for a very reasonable price. If a company thinks that they will benefit the most from dedicated IP addresses, it’s very important that research be done on many different companies. Besides the differences in price that all companies are bound to have, there will also be differences that are dependant on the company’s needs and goals.

Using Filezilla FTP Tutorial

August 3rd, 2010

How to use FileZilla – An open source FTP client

This is a tutorial about FileZilla, an open source FTP client. I’m going to show you the basics about FileZilla.
FileZilla Client is a fast and reliable cross-platform FTP, FTPS and SFTP client with lots of useful features and an intuitive interface.

Things you will need to get started:

* A computer running Windows 2000, XP or Vista, although FileZilla also supports Mac and Linux.
* The FileZilla client which can be downloaded from the FileZilla Website http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/ .
* A cPanel account or any other FTP account which you will use to connect and upload your files/web through FileZilla.

Let’s get started now!

Step 1: Opening Filezilla

After you’ve downloaded the client, install it and open it up. Here is a screenshot of how FileZilla should look when opened.

Now that you’ve successfully opened FileZilla, Let’s learn how to login to your FTP account.

I’ll explain to you what each field means:

* Host: The address of your site (yourdomain.com, or Ip Address)
* Port: The port of the FTP server (By default the port is 21, but some hosts change it)
* Servertype: THIS IS IMPORTANT, this is the type of connection the client will use, FTP is the normal connection you will want to use, there are other connections such as SFTP which is used to login into VPS’s and such, for now we will use FTP.
* Logontype: I’m not giving any details on this, for now let’s use Normal.
* User: your username
* Password: Your password

We will not use Account since it’s not required by this type of connection.

Step 4: Now that we’ve entered our info, let’s change the site’s name if you wish:
Click on New Site and down below press Rename and enter whatever you want.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button to connect. If you are having problems connecting here are some things to check:

* It may be that you are behind a firewall and/or router and need to use passive FTP.  Enable passive FTP.
* It can’t hurt to check your ftp server address, username and password. User names and passwords are case sensitive.
Step 6: Once the FTP program makes a connection, your screen should look like this:

FileZila Ftp File Transfer

Connection established. You will see the folders of your site on the left side of the screen. They vary depending on the type of server you’re on (information provided in Login Details email from Version Next Technologies).

One of the folders you see is your website main directory, the rest of them are system folders, any modifications you make to the system folders may damage your website structure.

For PLESK server type your upload directory is httpdocs folder.

For cPanel server type your upload directory is public_html folder.

Step 7: Enter (double-click) your upload directory (public_html or httpdocs).

Step 8: Downloading and Uploading Files

How to upload a file from your computer to the FTP server:

* Locate the file you wish to upload in the 2nd image (Local site)
* Select the file by left clicking it.
* Hold down the left mouse button and drag the file over to the Remote Site (3rd Image) then release.

How to download a file to your computer:

* Locate the file you wish to download in the hosting site.
* Select the file by left clicking it.
* Hold down the left mouse button and drag the file over to the local site then release.

This basically covers all the basics of FileZilla.

Congratulations! You have just uploaded the website. It should be visible in your internet browser window.

NOTE: In order for the website to show only after you enter the domain name in internet browser your main webpage MUST be named index.html (or index.htm, index.php… you get the idea).
For more information on how to use FileZilla, please see FileZilla Documentation.

Difference between a dedicated server and co-location?

April 23rd, 2010

A Dedicated Server is a server provided by a web host for you to rent. You have remote access to the server and you can customize the server to your own needs. The server is owned by the web host and you don’t have physical access to the server.

Co-location means you store your own server at a facility of a co-location provider. A co-location provider provides an internet connection to your server and allows you physical access to your own server when you need it.

Why should I choose dedicated server hosting?

April 23rd, 2010

Dedicated server hosting offers you the opportunity to rent an entire server with on-location technical support. You can custommize the server as you want. You should select a dedicated server hosting if your web site requires customized options or your web site need dedicated rerource due to the high amount of traffic.
