You can create your own private mail server.
With the help of a Linux VPS you can work in any linux environment as you wish.

Cloud Hosting Experience / Re: How can you find a reliable webhost?

« on: April 27, 2020, 05:37:45 AM »

The best way to choose a web hosting service is to ask yourself the following questions:

What sort of budget do you have?
What level of resources (i.e. storage space, bandwidth and CPU) will you need?
Do you have specific needs when it comes to uptime, security, etc?
Are you prepared to manage your server yourself?
Where should the server be located?
The answers to those questions should give you a rough idea of the kind of web host that you’re looking for. If you’d prefer not to manage your own server then consider going for a managed host.

Some of the benefits of cloud hosting are as follows:

1. Scalability- cloud hosted sites can handle different types of traffic as per demand.
2. Security- the channel is very secure.
3. Low cost hosting- cloud hosting providers charge the customers according to the power that is consumed. So it helps to cut down the financial expenditures.
4. Flexibility- As the cloud platform is highly flexible, it is easy to customize as well.
These factors make a cloud hosting service highly advantageous.

Cloud Hosting Experience / Re: What rules I need to know when making a business website?

« on: April 27, 2020, 05:32:13 AM »

Personally, I believe most answers are making it complicated more then it has to be. Unless I missed something as I am answering this on my cell, your question is what do you need learn to make a website. Not multiple websites. And you don't say anything about making this you're career.

All you really need are HTML and CSS. A great interactive website might include some JavaScript, or jQuery, but it doesn't have to. Frankly many have created beautiful websites with just HTML, CSS, jQuery. Only other thing you need is somewhere to host your website. You don't need PHP, Python, Ruby, or any other things everybody is telling you.

However, if you are looking to make web design or front-end development your career, then yes, you do need to learn JavaScript, jQuery, and few JavaScript frameworks some here have suggested. Still, there is no need for anything like Python, Ruby, PHP, etc, but they would greatly propel you toward front-end development career.

Unless you are looking to become a back-end developer. In that case, all the programming languages mentions so far and their frameworks will really be your main tools. At that point you are going further away from visual design and more towards programming. Which, in itself is a great career to pursue.

It would have really helped if you added more detail to your question. Right now it's way too broad, and you'll be getting all kinds of answers.

General Cloud Hosting Discussion / Re: Where to host a Wordpress blog?

« on: April 27, 2020, 05:29:51 AM »

As a new blogger, there are key features you should look out for when choosing a WordPress hosting service:

Cost - What you pay for is what you get; the quality you can expect from your hosting platform often comes down to the cost. Companies that offer lower entry prices will make back their money at your expense! Hosting providers that offer ‘unlimited’ services should be avoided as that is purely a marketing ploy – there are always limits.

Cheaper hosts may advertise exceptionally low prices, but their renewal fees (which will be more hidden) are far higher than expected. These hosts may even go on to sell your personal information our auction off your recently removed domain.

Services - Managed WordPress hosting is good for a beginner, your hosting provider will take care of all the technical maintenance for you. They should offer site backups for emergencies, as well as strong security features like DDoS and WHOIS Protection.

Performance – Is the hosting provider known for their load speed? Can they handle a large amount of traffic? Some Hosting providers are designed to facilitate high traffic volumes more than others. Downtime is another serious concern, research your host’s downtime history through customer feedback.

Customer Support – Having a responsive tech support team is a deal-breaker, too many companies have support staff that either dodge the question or bounce their customers around. Does your host have Live Chat? How quickly can they respond? It is crucial to be able to reach customer support when you need it.

Reputation – Seeking out independent reviews, as well as customer reviews, can offer valuable insight into the practicalities and day-to-day experiences of real customers. Does the host display testimonials on their site? A simple Google search can offer up page after page of bad reviews for certain companies.

My personal recommendations would be WordPress,com and Apps4Rent Hosting since they are reliable, personable, and tick all the boxes listed above.

Customer reviews will tell you a lot about the practical issues with each host. They’re all different, so search around to find the best ones!

General Cloud Hosting Discussion / Re: How much website downtime is acceptable?

« on: April 25, 2020, 05:56:12 AM »

I would say website downtime is not acceptable. Website downtime could be caused by a myriad of reasons, some of which are:

Hardware failure
Hosting issues
High traffic to your web server
DDoS attacks
DNS issues

You might have to use a reliable hosting provider as well as a website monitoring service to complete your website hosting experience. The monitoring service will give you performance trends over a period of time and will also alert you incase your website faces a downtime.

Given that it is rare that a customer will point out and raise a complaint that your site is down, it would take days before you notice the downtime. This is why it is insisted to have a monitoring service in place.

General Cloud Hosting Discussion / Re: Which server is the best for hosting a blog?

« on: April 25, 2020, 05:53:32 AM »

It depends on what kind of blog(s) you have and what your needs are. I started with blogger, but then they made their editor more difficult to use, so I switched to WordPress, but then they also made their editor more difficult to use, so I went back to Blogger, But then they made theirs even more difficult to use. They seem to be in a competition in that respect.

If you want to use pictures in your blog, I find the old unenhanced WordPress editor easier to use than the Blogger one (where you have to fiddle with HTML code to align pictures in the page) .

If you can afford it, you can also buy blogging software and pay a site to host a blog, and there are a zillion web hosting sites out there.

I am not familiar with the host you are asking about, but can recommend you also checking apps4rent.com hosting deals. It may be a bit more expensive, but the support is superb - usually less than 10 minutes for response and solution.

Cloud is a stack of many servers that run on virtual technology. They have huge storage space, compute speeds and load balancing capabilities .

Advantages of Cloud hosting can be given as follows:

1. Scalable – adds more server power in a jiffy

2. Custom infrastructure - You can include firewalls, architecture and custom firewalls, load balancing and IP deployment

3. Access and availability - In case a physical server fails, cloud servers are migrated to another physical server without experiencing an outage

4. High computing resources - No lagging RAM or CPU power, even if another cloud customer's load grows

Hope this helps

General Cloud Hosting Discussion / Re: help me to make a right choice ...

« on: April 25, 2020, 05:44:24 AM »

There are such a large number of decisions with regards to hosting a site that it tends to be an overwhelming assignment to discover a web host that is appropriate for your requirements. A web host must satisfy following these reasons:

Reliability:
Each time your site goes down, so does your number of visitors. In the event that you lose visitors, at that point you lose benefit, individuals, reputation, and so forth. You can’t bear the cost of for your site to be down—notwithstanding for a short measure of time! To guarantee the web host you’re taking a reliable, discover what number of clients they have, check whether they have an ensured up-time, scan for complaints about them on the web and ask different clients utilizing their administration about their experience.

Speed:
Speed is a big factor right now for your website. Cause no body will look up to a slower websites. 90% of the website speed depends on the web host. Such as server response time, server enhancement, apache caching and etc. And other 10% depends on your scripts. Such as JS, CSS and other programming languages (PHP, ASP, JAVA and so on).

Space:
Ensure you have all that could possibly be needed space for what you intend to do with your site. Web space is certainly cheap, so get a great deal of it.

Bandwidth:
Ensure that you have enough bandwidth for your website. Otherwise it will slower your website and it will remove you from the server.

Support:
When you will have a problem with your web host make sure you have enough good support for it. Otherwise you will need to learn a lot of technical terms.

Security:
Now a days information is everything. Whole world is bow downing to the information. So security is a big matter for everyone. You have to ensure a very good security for your website from your We Hosting.

Standard Pricing:
A web hosting with good pricing with good cpu, ram , bandwidth and space.

General Cloud Hosting Discussion / Re: What is SEO?

« on: April 23, 2020, 06:25:01 AM »

SEO is Search Engine Optimization, the process of optimizing your website and webpages to get

“free”, “organic” traffic from search engines like Google, yahoo, ask etc.

Search engines try to return the most relevant results by using sophisticated algorithms so basically it works on two factors, keywords, and backlinks. Search engines do look at your website's keywords, but they rank your websites on the number and quality of the backlinks to it from other websites.

Keywords are important since they let search engines know about your presence but backlinks determine how much search engines trust your site to be relevant and they help website move up the search results and that is why the search results you see on the search engines are organic and natural listings.

SEO is super important because it helps you move to the top of the relevant search results and almost everyone relies heavily on search engines to find anything online, SEO is the most effective way to increase traffic to your website. A good SEO takes time so the sooner you start the sooner you move up the search result’s ladder.

In short, your SEO strategy should be like:

Step #1: Create a List of Keywords.
Step #2: Analyze Google's First Page.
Step #3: Create Something Different or Better.
Step #4: Add a Hook.
Step #5: Optimize For On-Page SEO.
Step #6: Optimize For Search Intent.
Step #7: Make Your Content Look Awesome.
Step #8: Build Links to Your Page

General Cloud Hosting Discussion / Re: How does Wordpress hosting work?

« on: April 23, 2020, 06:23:43 AM »

WordPress hosting is an optimized shared web hosting for running WordPress sites particularly. As the overall high performance including loading speed, security, reliability, etc, it has the own characteristics, and is favoured by more and more WordPress users.

Besides, some web hosts provide many custom features such as marketplace integration of themes & plugins, sFTP access to WordPress platforms, automatic WordPress backup, WordPress file update versioning, and so on.

As generally accepted, there are 4 types of WordPress hosting including free, shared, VPS, dedicated and managed hosting. In this following chapters, you will learn the gist of each type to choose the most right solution.

Free WordPress Hosting

Some companies offer WordPress hosting for free, which is attractive but seldom good. We never recommend free WordPress hosting to anyone looking for a real online presence due to numerous drawbacks of this kind of hosting. For example, users have to put up with pop-up banners, ads or frequent shut-downs; users are not allowed to place their own ads, to access their files, or to have their own domains for free; and they’ll eventually be converted into paying customers or just leave their sites. Remember, there is always a price to pay for something free.

Shared WordPress Hosting

Shared WordPress hosting means many users host their sites on a single server, which is administered by the hosting provider. The advantage of shared hosting is its low cost because all users share the total cost of the server. Shared hosting plans are often claimed to offer unlimited bandwidth and space, but in fact the resources for each account are limited and unevenly distributed. Useful tools, such as cPanel and one-click installer, are available for users to set up and manage their sites easily.

Basically, shared WordPress hosting is a good point for anyone to start their hosting adventure. However, it works better with light-traffic websites owned by bloggers or start-up companies because an average plan can handle no more than 300 visits per day.

VPS WordPress Hosting

VPS hosting providers offer dedicated resources to all users by allocating a fixed portion of server resources to each account. Compared with shared hosting, it is more expensive as a physical server is shared by less users.

VPS offers more privileges which allow users to run multiple WordPress sites and make more profits. Besides, the performance of VPS hosting is faster and more stable because of more advanced technologies and better monitoring methods.

VPS can be used to host traffic-extensive WordPress websites such as popular blogs or medium-sized enterprises with thousands of visits per day. The VPS of InMotion Hosting is a good choice considering the balance among feature, price and performance.

Managed WordPress Hosting

Managing a big WordPress site can be a very complex task, that’s why managed WordPress hosting exists. The benefit of managed WordPress hosting is that users don’t need to worry about anything. It is the provider that deals with all the technical stuffs including server activation, site backup, security, monitoring, maintenance, and continuous optimization. So, managed hosting is more expensive than the same level of other hosting services.

General Cloud Hosting Discussion / Re: How to optimize website speed fastly ?

« on: April 23, 2020, 06:13:57 AM »

This is generally practice in my daily work.

• Compress all the images used on the website. (I keep the file size of the images around maximum 150–200 kb)
  Try to use videos that are in the website via placing them on third party sites (ex. Youtube)
  Keep only the relevant and required CC & JS scripts in the code
  Minify all the files (HTML, CSS, JS and all other)
  You can use Lazy Loading concept
  For more advanced level try AMP for mobile sites
