Round Tale

(Gawkwire.com) – Vodien, a leading Singapore web hosting provider, announced today it will introduce a fully-managed backup service featuring R1Soft’s high-performance Continuous Data Protection® (CDP)  software.

R1Soft’s advanced CDP technology offers Vodien fundamental features including centralized backup management, multi-level administration capabilities, and cross-platform protection for Windows and Linux servers. Combined with an attractive set of features, R1Soft’s fast, highly efficient backups allow Vodien to streamline the entire infrastructure planning and backup strategy process.

Initially the backup service will be offered to Vodien’s dedicated server clients as an add-on to bundle with their existing web hosting plans. As part of the new service, the Vodien SuperSupport team will monitor all restore points and disaster recovery practice run-throughs will be available for customers who wish to test their backups and restoration services. Vodien also plans to eventually offer backup services for businesses seeking a remote backup service for their business-critical data.

“Vodien wanted to offer customers a simple way to have their data continuously backed up on a per-server basis and R1Soft’s comprehensive backup and restoration policy solution has enabled us to do this,” said John Lee, VP Sales Engineer.

R1Soft’s disk-based data protection software works by creating point-in-time snapshots of data at the block-level and only recording changes made since the last backup allowing for backups to run up to every 15 minutes. With the Bare-Metal Restore feature, Vodien gains the ability to restore a client’s data to any point-in-time snapshot for fast, efficient disaster recovery.

Contact Vodien for more information about its new backup service.

It is hard to compete with popular names in the control panel industry like cPanel and Plesk, especially with the amount of web host’s that promote these control panels by default. However there is a competitor that can be compared to both of these control panels, yet many have never even heard of it; H-sphere. Although this software is not as popular as some of the top contenders, it certainly provides features that are just as appealing, if not more than what it’s competitors have to offer.

One attribute that makes H-sphere a greatly underrated control panel is it’s compatibility. H-sphere is compatible with all three of the major operating systems; Windows, Linux and Unix. H-sphere is also compatible with virtually all databases, including MSSQL PostgreSQL and MySQL. This compatibility has earned H-sphere a lot of recognition recently, and many are beginning to prefer it over the more popular control panels.

Functionality and Compatibility Combined

One attribute of H-sphere that cannot be overlooked is it’s compatibility. Although the control panel can be used by virtually any novice, it is also packed with features, and can accommodate any server environment. The software is also compatible with all of the major payment gateways (over 30 to be exact) including PayPal. The tools that are included with H-sphere make designing and building your website a extremely simple and time efficient, and you can also write your own scripts for the software as well. H-sphere also gives you access to an integrated support module that let’s you contact your web hosting service provider with ease, without ever having to leave the administrative interface.

Security and Reliability

H-sphere has also been shown to be more secure and reliable than all of the more popular control panels. Even though safety was a main focus of the developers, don’t underestimate H-sphere’s ability to accommodate the needs of multiple servers at once. Adding servers to the interface is also extremely simple.  Although it may take a little bit of time to learn your way around this control panel, you can rest assured that your site administration is completely secure at all times. Most novice users will find this control panel to be difficult to use, while the advanced webmasters will have more appreciation for the in-depth features of this control panel.  This is not to say that the novice user could not easily learn the software with the plethora of information that is included with the software.

Is H-sphere for You?

Although H-sphere offers features that most control panels do not, this comes at a price. H-sphere is more expensive than other control panels for this reason, and is generally not recommended for small business with only one server to manage. If you’re looking for a basic control panel that will be extremely simple to use, then H-sphere is probably not for you. However, if you want the most competent and comprehensive control panel solution to manage multiple servers, then you may find H-sphere to be useful.

The practice of E-commerce involves much more than simply selling products and services online. Developing a good e-commerce website involves maintaining the security and administrative aspects of your website as well. Many people overlook the importance of storage when it comes to choosing a web hosting service provider. Many people make the mistake of relying solely on their hard drive, which eventually will become unable to hold your website’s data.  Aside from running out of space, using a personal hard drive is risky because a crash can occur at any time resulting in data loss. When it involves your business, reliability and security is the most important factor. With all of the possible selections available in today’s market, it can be difficult to choose a single solution.  There are certain things one must consider when selecting a proper web hosting service for their business.

How Much Space Do You Need

Purchasing a new storage device requires the assessment of your storage needs. If you only need to backup a few things, then a simple USB drive will suffice. Even though USB drives do not consume a lot of space, they are capable of holding vast amounts of data and are seen as a good way to backup your data.  If you need to store more then you may want to consider an external hard drive.

Outsourcing Storage Space

If you do not want to store your data on a physical device at your home or office, then you can always opt for virtual storage with a third-party provider.  With a good data hosting service, you will receive the benefit of an online interface that will allow you to easily transfer your files,  and you’ll also receive plenty of bandwidth. Before selecting a third-party data hosting service, make sure they are reputable and take plenty of security measures to help protect your website’s data. The data must be secure during the entire time it is stored on their server to prevent data loss.

Speed Necessity

If you need to transfer a lot of data at one point in time, then speed should most definitely be a determining factor. It is important to consider all of the aspects of the storage provider, including speed, memory and disk space. Normally the best speeds are provided by interfaces such as  IDE, Firewire, SCSI, parallel, and USB. These storage devices are of the plug and play variety and are very easy to use and maintain.

Making the Right Decision

There are plenty of options available concerning storage for your e-commerce website. It is not hard to find  a service that will accommodate your needs, however it is best to make sure you make the right decision initially.

APS is a unique hosting solution that offers some very unique features to the domain owner. APS (Active Server Pages) technology allows the design and creation of an interactive website to be completed via server-side scripting. Examples of interactive websites and/or features would be: forums, blogs, search bars, calendars, newsletters, email, surveys, polls, and hit counters.  Unlike HTML scripting, APS scripting will allow your website to be displayed equally on any web browser. The overall compatibility of APS hosting stems from the fact that the APS server decodes and translates the .aps info into .html info before it is received by the browser. This is the primary reason why it is called APS hosting, as it is more than just a type of scripting. In order to use .aps scripts, your hosting company must have APS servers available.

Finding an APS Web Hosting Service Provider

Even though most web hosts claim to support the majority of scripts out there, this doesn’t mean that they all support ASP scripting. ASP scripting is relatively new so it is important that you find a web hosting company that specializes in this area of expertise. Many times you can find out all you need to know form a companies FAQ page, however if you still have questions it may be best to call their customer support number for further inquiries.

ASP Server Details

ASP servers are Windows based virtual servers, much like  Microsoft’s Personal Web Server. While Windows Vista carries support for ASP servers,  XP Home Edition and Windows ME unfortunately do not support ASP scripts. However if your operating system does not support ASP hosting then it is still possible to take advantages of this kind of hosting, thanks to a program known as “Chili” made by Sun Microsystems. Chili allows users to enjoy the benefits of  ASP hosting even if they are using operating systems like Linux, AIX or Solaris, or even if you are using an incompatible server such as Secure Server, Red Hat, and Apache.

The Ease of Transition to ASP Hosting

ASP scripting is also strikingly similar to HTML scripting, so anyone who is familiar with writing code in HTML will have no problem making the transition to ASP scripting. In fact, ASP hosting is just as easy to learn as HTML, so even if you have no experience in scripting, ASP is still an option for you as long as you have a little bit of motivation and the right guide.  In fact there are many tools available online that will help even the most inexperienced programmers in building interactive web pages for their website. If your web hosting company does not currently offer support for ASP hosting, then you can rest assured that they will within the next few years, possibly even months. Due to it’s seemingly unlimited compatibility with web browsers, ASP hosting is quickly becoming the industry standard in web hosting. Switching to an ASP hosting service as soon as possible will ensure that your website is viewable to more users, and more enjoyable to your visitors.

Ann Arbor, Michigan – (The Hosting News) – September 1, 2009 – Web hosting service provider and Magento hosting solutions company, NEXCESS.NET LLC, will be expanding its Magento Secure Isolated Platform (SIP) e-commerce web hosting plans.

The original SIP plans, launched in May 2009, are a tightly integrated combination of the popular Magento e-commerce software, combined with optimized high-end hardware and software to guarantee speed, reliability and security.

Chris Wells, CEO of Nexcess noted, ”The SIP plans have really taken off. They’re popular with both small and large clients, including Fortune 500 companies which we’ve signed deals with in the last few weeks. Even the official Magento demo stores have been moved to SIPs.”

The new reseller plan will allow interested customers to resell Magento SIP plans. Mr. Wells added, ”We’ve been offering shared hosting reseller plans for years now, and these are essentially the same blueprint, except with the Magento SIP architecture.”

Each SIP reseller plan provides the reseller with five separate SIPs (approximately the same as a SIP100) at a discounted price. The reseller can then offer these SIP plans to their own clients.

Mr. Wells continued, ”Regular reseller plans are often a popular way for individuals or small companies to offer their own web hosting services to their clients. Perhaps they’re a web design business that wants to be able to offer their clients web hosting as well. We expect that SIPs will appeal to a very similar kind of customer, someone who wants to be able to offer their clients a professionally hosted, extremely secure and stable e-commerce platform.”

Final details of the new SIP reseller plan are available on the website. Nexcess plans to begin offering a standardized SIP plan based around the Magento Enterprise platform within the next month. Full details of all the Magento SIP plans are available on the NEXCESS.NET site.

NEXCESS.NET is an Ann Arbor, Mich. based company specializing in web hosting solutions, offering a range of services from shared hosting to multi-server configurations. NEXCESS.NET provides custom hosting solutions for traffic heavy and high profile websites of all genres. NEXCESS.NET owns and operates its own private data center in Dearborn, Mich. and currently services thousands of clients worldwide.
