How to Make Your Website Migration Smooth

August 3rd, 2010

(The Hosting News) – Migrating your website from one host to another is a difficult task. It is both exciting and at times daunting to perform. Presently if your website is not structured properly and is growing haphazardly, it is time to make a change and consider redesigning things. Reconstructing your database and content storage requires better planning beforehand so that you can avoid all the unnecessary headaches. Available disk space and bandwidth are few initial things that need consideration to improve the conditions of your site to maintain a steady flow of repeated as well as new visitation.

Your new host may have a better plan to offer you that includes improved performance of the site, good features, increased stability and even a price that suits your budget the best. Knowing and understanding the best time to move to a new host is critical. For this you have to maintain a check list that ensures all the technical as well as the minor issues being addressed timely and effectively. Following these specific techniques will enable you to complete the job in a manner that will not require you to restart right from selecting the correct keywords to optimizing your website.

  • Select your host carefully: There can be nothing more frustrating than getting your site moved to a new host and then realizing that your previous one was better. It is vital to make a checklist of all the features your current host is providing and comparing it with the solutions of your new web hosting provider. This will help to make a better comparison and plan how your website can fit the new host system.
  • Revise DNS records: DNS records describe the internet how it can find your website. When you shift to a new host these records need updating. The name server is used wherever your domain name is managed. If your information is not properly updated your website will remain inaccessible to the rest of the world.
  • Have a backup of the old site: Do not cancel your old account in haste. It is a wise decision to have a proper back up of your old site as it will give you time to find out the bugs and remove the problems.
  • Intimate your users early: If you have regular customers and your site attracts lot of traffic, make sure to intimate your customers a few weeks in advance. Moving your website may take few days and it may take a while to propagate the new information throughout the internet.
  • Testing: Once you have shifted to your new host, test everything. Fix the bugs before your users start facing problems and ensure that everything is ready and proper from the move.

ServInt COO to Speak at HostingCon 2010

July 15th, 2010

(The Hosting News) - ServInt, a pioneering provider of managed web hosting for businesses worldwide, today announced its Chief Operating Officer Christian Dawson will be a featured speaker at HostingCon 2010 in Austin, Texas July 19th at 10 a.m. Dawson’s session will examine how virtualization and superior customer service will shape the future of the global hosting industry.

“Savvy technology integration and a commitment to long-term customer relationships will be the keys to prosperity in our industry,” Dawson said. “As one of the world’s most prominent web hosts since 1995, we are the first to notice the extent to which customer demands are changing. Mega-hosts too often try to meet bandwidth demands through technology and price alone, without adequately focusing on two-way, long-term customer relationships.”

Dawson’s presentation will outline how progressive web hosts can use virtualization and personal, customer-oriented hosting services to gain market share and ensure long-term growth.

“As the market evolves, small-scale innovation will be rewarded. The most innovative hosts will combine the latest VPS solutions with a willingness to tackle harder problems on a more personal basis. At the same time, effective VPS solutions will provide critical power to large-scale sites, while maximizing scalability, boosting energy efficiency and minimizing environmental impact.”

ServInt Offers Full-Gigabit Throughput on Dedicated Packages

July 14th, 2010

(The Hosting News) –  ServInt, a pioneering provider of managed web hosting for businesses worldwide, today began offering full-gigabit throughput as an optional, add-on feature for its most popular Managed Dedicated Server packages, for $25 more per month.

The new offering is available through an easy-to-use, online configuration system. ServInt previously had offered the full-gigabit upgrade on a custom basis, requiring consultation with a ServInt configuration engineer.

“When we decided to standardize our gigabit-throughput service, we put our customers’ interests first,” said ServInt Chief Operating Officer Christian Dawson. “Until recently, we felt that the billing complexity and performance-reward aspects of gigabit connections were generally poorly understood. Therefore, we required customers to consult with our engineers before making that type of server upgrade.”

Dawson added, “Today, a far greater number of customers clearly need a gigabit connection to run their businesses. Those who need the connection also recognize its intricacies, as well as its tremendous benefit. We now feel comfortable making the purchase decision easier. Of course, customers always can contact our engineers before making any upgrade to their service packages. In fact, we encourage it.”

As a recent example of a ServInt customer’s successful full-gigabit deployment, Dawson cited a best-selling author whose new book reached the top of Amazon.com’s sales chart. The massive surge in traffic at the customer’s site – which required bandwidth of 210 Mbps for two full days – was easily accommodated by his gigabit upgrade.

“This kind of customer experience is increasingly common, as broadband-centric content proliferates in an increasingly Internet-dependent world,” said Dawson. “Last year, ServInt dropped its bandwidth overage charges by 75 percent to make it easy for our customers to thrive in this new environment. Now, the time is right to make gigabit connections even easier to purchase and configure.”

Contracts or No Contracts? Making the Right Choice

July 8th, 2010

When it comes to deciding what you need for your business, come to terms with what your business really is. Is it continually changing and expanding to include new business ventures or does it stay fairly consistent with itself? Usually, the answer to this question is the deciding factor in whether or not a contractual agreement would be right for you. A contract, depending on the terms, can offer a few advantages. It’s more affordable, it can be upgradeable to include new features and options and can allow you to decide whether or not you want to continue business with this company in the future. On the other side of the coin, paying as you go for a server can keep you safe from making the wrong purchasing decision. Being able to change server companies can have its advantages. If you make the wrong choice and the server does not live up to your expectations, you aren’t left with a lengthy contract to wade through.

Let’s take a more in-depth look at the factors you should consider when making your choice. A contractual agreement has the following benefits:

• It’s much easier to tweak your server’s features and options to include only what you need and nothing that you don’t. A contract provides you with the ability to monitor your site’s needs and future requirements.

• A contract can save you a lot of money. Usually, signing a year long contract can save you even up to 20 percent or, why not, even more in comparison to a non-contractual agreement.

• Contracts automatically renew so you don’t have to deal with making payments every year. Should the contract be everything you need, renewing takes place automatically. Otherwise, simply discontinue the automatic renewal process. When your contract expires, the agreement is legally over.

• Contractual agreements may guarantee a specific level of service for the duration of your contract. Should performance levels fall below a certain level, you might be entitled to additional compensation. These details are in the fine print of a server agreement.

• Some contracts come with a higher level of customer support, sometimes 24/7. These additional perks are reserved for people willing to dedicate their payments for periods of a longer duration.

• Contractual agreements can give you a better understanding of the service features and options you are receiving. Being able to research every small detail of the services provided to you may help you make better business decisions based on the presented data.

Non-contractual agreements can benefit your business in the following ways:

• No minimum fees. Fees are sometimes associated with contractual agreements. There is no minimum data transfer amount purchase requirement. True pay as you go pricing will help your business to understand exactly what it needs in a contract before considering one. Early planning and accurate statistics are the keys to the long-term success of a business.

• No termination fees. With almost every managed hosting server contract, there is going to be early termination fees. These fees can be quite lofty. If you choose the wrong server hosting, you’re left with the cost of having to reformulate your plans.

• Pay only for the services you need. Nothing more, nothing less!

Making the decision is pretty simple. If your business is just starting out and you have no idea what your business will require, then paying as you go makes the most sense. Why would you want to run the risk of signing a contract when you have no idea what your online business truly requires from managed server hosting?

After a year or so of paying only for the services you need, you will be able to make a much smarter purchasing decision when it comes time to sign a contract. You avoid the early termination fee, you get to gather accurate statistical information about your website’s visitors and bandwidth and will be more able to make accurate projections regarding the future requirements of your business.

Signing the contract after this point will be easy and leave you with the peace of mind that comes from statistical data. In almost every instance, you would end up overpaying for services you don’t need if you obligate your business to a contract too quickly. After your first contract expires, you might want to begin another cycle of pay as you go. This will give you time to research the signing of another contract or, move on to another managed server hosting provider.

It’s all about trial and error. You must be able to accurately understand what your business needs and why. All projections which have to do with the future needs of your business will be based on this data.

Backing it Up – An Overview of Data Backup Solutions for Managed Servers

June 4th, 2010

Managed Dedicated Servers Content Provided by Superb
Dedicated Servers

Data backup solutions for servers come in two forms. Software or hardware. A software solution can be used if your computer has access to the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web provides the ability to upload your file backups to a storage facility or other secure location. While all backups use software packages to accomplish the task, it can be helpful and more reliable to use your own hardware. You can store your own hardware in any safe and secure location you choose. Away from any environmental stimuli, backup hardware like hard disks and RAM will be sure to perform at their highest standards. Keeping your own hardware in its own separate location, hooked up to the World Wide Web, is not something everyone is willing to do.

To remedy this situation, the ability to use disk and tape backups made its appearance. This allows computer professionals to configure their hard disks to record data on a variety of different removable media. You can choose to use USB drives, Flash drives, CD-ROMs, floppy disks, external hard drives and more. Flash drives and external hard drives are an economical and more efficient than traditional removable media. Floppy disks and CD-ROM’s are only effective if the size of your data is small enough to fit on the removable disks. If the size of your data is larger than that, USB plug-in drives and external hard drives would be the best option. An external hard drive is the champion of backup file storage and is optimal for reliability and disk access time.

Backing up your data remotely is another highly popular option. Providing you have continual Internet access, you can configure your server to upload a backup of your files as often as you like. Remote data storage has additional benefits as well. Your backup files are sent to a secure data storage location, safe from wind, rain, snow and dust. Providing you pay the fee, your data will be as secure as a fortress, providing you with peace of mind and effective file storage 24/7. While it does cost a moderate amount, the security and feature availability is legendary. Only the incredibly high end servers rely on their own hardware for backup storage. Most companies and businesses rely on the know how and technological prowess of data backup solutions. People who are trained to configure systems capable of successfully retrieving your data in the event of a catastrophe. fire, lightning, earthquake, floods and more!

There are many software solutions available to fit your needs. Software solutions like Carbonite Online PCBackup, HP Upline, IDrive, MozyHome and SOS Online Backup keep your data safe in multiple locations. They also provide the ability to upgrade your accounts for more professional features. You can look at the free version like a free trial, because without upgrading, you won’t get to experience the true abilities of the backup services.

With features like easy installation, unlimited backup frequency, affordable costs and outstanding customer service, backing up your files through the use of these companies resources sounds like a great idea. But be careful. Not every software based file backup solution is going to be right for you. There are benefits and drawbacks to each file storage service. For example, Carbonite Online Backup does not allow you to restore files from Windows Explorer but shines brightly in almost every other categorical classification. It’s fast, affordable and offers a robust amount of features. Small feature quirks like this can make the difference between a successful operation and the need to reformulate a file backup plan.

Which solution is right for you and your business? The same features and functions apply to a home user as a stand alone server. All the tools of the trade are available to you but coming to the most effective business decision can be time consuming. Get a team of people together to have a round table discussion regarding what you need and what you don’t. Discuss possible scenarios and events that could happen to the computer responsible for uploading the file backups. Ensure that any software solution through a third party is the right decision for you.

Housing your own hardware has its advantages. You have complete customizability of your server and the location of where backups are uploaded. While on the other hand, removable storage may be a more effective solution for file structures with a smaller overall size. When it comes down to it, the choices you make regarding your file storage backup comes down to money. How much money do you have to allocate to file storage and backup solutions? The answer to this question will ultimately decide the quality that your spending efforts will produce.
