Web Hosting | The truth about Unlimited Web Hosting Providers

2010-03-27T19:37:00.000-07:00

Having a website is all "great and dandy"; but when it comes to choosing the right web hosting provider; things can become a little trickier.

The term "unlimited" web hosting has become fairly common among those who are looking for web hosting and for those whom are within the web hosting industry.

Hosting providers use the term "unlimited" extremely loosely; in order to gain more clients.

"Unlimited" plans are nothing more than a "cheap" marketing technique that many providers use.

The providers use this technique because it makes them look like "they can provide" more than others; whilst in fact, the stable & reliable hosts do not use this technique; so they do not have to honour a "unlimited" plan.

Why are "unlimited" hosting plans not really "unlimited"?
"unlimited" hosting plans are not actually "unlimited" because "someone" will have to pay for all the data/space, etc that is being used within the hosting plan. So by a web host offering unlimited hosting plans; they make themselves very unstable.

My host offers "unlimited" hosting plans and is still stable?
That is because the "said" web host has not had their "unlimited" hosting plans put to the test by someone who will use more server resources than a standard client/company; so they remain stable for a little while longer.

Should, someone decide to take advantage of their "unlimited" website hosting plan; then the web host would either suspend the clients account for using "too much" (against their Fair usage" policy or the web host would become highly unstable and possibly collapse.

The do's and Do not's of Choosing a Linux Hosting Company

2009-06-24T22:39:00.000-07:00

Looking for a Linux website hosting company is never an easy job. If you would like to get it right then you need to take time to read reviews on the hosting companies that you have selected as possible options.

Remember that all website hosting reviews should be taken with a "pinch of salt". In other words believe it but do not take it "all to heart" because some hosting companies actually use black market advertising and promotion tricks and sometimes post their own reviews to make them look better.

Hostjury.com is a good review site.

When choosing a Linux Hosting Company, look for "just Linux". Try to avoid website hosting companies that offer both Linux and Windows based hosting because it is possible that they may run off the same server, just virtual; and that is not as good, secure or reliable as a "PURE" Linux hosting company.

Look for both affordability and reliability. - Remember; Reliable Linux Hosting plans tend to start at roughly $3 per month at least; any less and you are being "Had" (Mislead); somewhere.

As stated within the first ever Linux Website Hosting Blog Post; we would discuss Linux Website Hosting Companies as our first port of call.

Who or what are they?
Linux website hosting has been around for many years and the companies behind Linux Website Hosting could be anyone from a hosting reseller, all the way up to a multi-national website hosting company who have expertise within various aspects of the website hosting industry.

Why is Linux Hosting more Affordable?
Linux Hosting is more affordable because the hosting platform (Linux Based Operating System) is more or less; Open Source.

This means that it is generally either free or obtainable at a low cost. Open Source also means that it is built with many developers and that its source code is openly available to be viewed or edited (with permission).

Why is Linux Hosting Secure?
Below is a quote from "The Register" explaining why Linux Hosting is more secure than Windows hosting.

Attacks are of course aimed at Windows because of the numbers of users, but its
design makes it a much easier target, and much easier for an attack to wreak
havoc.

With this in mind, Linux is a "Community" based project and this means that if a bug is found, then it is fixed much faster than any other operating system because there are millions of Open Source Developers that can help to secure even the slightest bug within a Linux operating system.

Why choose a Linux Website Hosting Company?
I think that a majority of what is written above explains most of that, but in all fairness the next three bullet points will give a vast overview on why.

Its more affordable
Its more secure
Its just as easy to use

Final Words
Linux website hosting has its strenghs and without a doubt, there are also some weaknesses but when looking for a website hosting that you know will be reliable, and secure; Linux based website hosting is the way forward.
