CPU Limits for Shared Users

Host Brains — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 04:48:57 +0000

Recently many of our hosting users enquired with us regarding their account suspensions and we emailed them back with a message of ‘CPU Limits’. The answer to this is that as a user you cannot find the CPU Limits of your website but our support team which continiously monitor’s the server can find these stuff. You can send us a ticket if your account is suspended and we will update you with the reason for the same.

The reason for these CPU high limits can be many ranging from high MYSQL queries which you can reduce by removing the old files from your database tables and optimizing your databases. If there are a number of customers who have the same amount of high load then the server can slow down and even restart creating a problem for all the users. Poorly coded .php scripts may lead to extended processing times. Try using static .html documents instead of .php scripts; doing so will practically eliminate CPU Quota Suspension/Errors.

You have taken a shared/reseller hosting account where you are sharing the server resources with other users, hence its essential to keep limits for each account in order to make sure that the servers are working perfectly and no users see a downtime. Contacting through contact page is different from the Ticket Support is different because the later one is immediately replied by our dedicated support team.

Scheduled Server Reboot Every Month

Host Brains — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 15:01:00 +0000

In order to make sure our servers are always up and we dont have any backend problems, we restart our servers once in a month manually. There is no specific reasons behind it because unlike other web hosting companies our hosting servers are not regularly restarted/down.

We load balance all our servers and try to make sure that all the sites are always loading super fast. If the servers are on high load , your websites load very slowly and our tech team keeps monitoring all the incoming traffic and website’s scripts and data.

Do let us know if you have any problems with your website or you need any professional service regarding your hosting or website, we would be happy to help you out.

What is web hosting bandwidth and how it is measured?

Host Brains — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 12:20:17 +0000

The World Wide Web or the Internet as it is commonly called is a fascinating place. It has drastically changed the way we live. Every successful organization and even educational institutions today have a web presence today. Having a web site not only elevates your status it helps boost your revenue tremendously. From buying, selling, promoting to booking everything can be done at the click of a mouse as and when you want. But for ensuring the success and popularity of a web site having a mere web presence is not enough. You need to select a suitable web hosting service that will do justice to your purpose.

Now for all you people who are new at computers you may wonder what a web hosting band width is? How is it measured may be another question in your mind! Well take heart. For we are here to tell you what web hosting band width is all about.

When one starts searching for the most suitable web hosting service the issue that bothers him is the bandwidth of the service. It is indeed a deciding factor to your websites performance as well as success. In plain words, Web hosting bandwidth is the quantity of data transfer that the web site faces. Bandwidth in measured in units called Bits. If you visualize bandwidth as a highway, the term traffic can be visualized as cars on that road.

Bandwidth can mean the data trafficking capacity of the network. Alternatively it can also signify the data limit your web hosting service has allotted you for a time period. Different web hosting services have different policies for their consumers. The reason the hosting company monitors the bandwidth consumption of a site is to restrict it from exceeding the limit. If a web site overuses the bandwidth it will cause a server downfall. A slow loading web site in the web browser is a surefire sign of inadequate bandwidth.

If you are thinking how much of bandwidth is adequate for you, the answer is that it depends on your site’s content and the purpose. For example, a text heavy site will be smaller in size compared to a site rich in audio visual and interactive contents. A hosting bandwidth that is enough for the former can prove to be a bottleneck for the latter. So the larger the download or upload files are, the bigger amount of bandwidth is required. Also remember, even if a visitor does not upload and download any file, the mere loading of the page in his browser window consumes some bandwidth. As a matter of fact most web hosting services measure bandwidth in units of GB. You can make an average estimate by calculating factors like the average number of users per month, average page views, and average page size etc.

Advantages of Linux Hosting over Web hosting

Host Brains — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 13:13:48 +0000

It is quite commonplace to observe that in many kinds of markets a particular brand tries to secure the majority of consumers. Such a habit is termed as monopoly. When it comes to the operating systems for personal computers Microsoft is a corporation that is accused of this practice. With its hugely popular Windows family of operating systems Microsoft enjoys a large part of domestic and corporate customer base. However, in recent times certain small contenders have raised their head to give it some serious competition. In the sphere of web servers, the most prevalent operating system is Microsoft Windows 2000, which is touted by the company as a true server class OS. It holds a large share of the server operating systems. But in recent times Linux has risen to a challenging position and it is being considered by many as the proverbial Goliath to counter Microsoft’s monopoly.

Many people believe that Microsoft is the supreme as far as computer system is concerned. However there are serious challenges to the issue now with other hosting services as Linux stepping in. It cannot be denied that even today most people prefer Microsoft to any thing else. However as per the current trend the hosting services as Linux too are gaining immense popularity. What makes this hosting service popular? How does these two systems compare? In the article below we discuss the pros and cons.

Using a Windows OS does not require you to opt for Windows web hosting. Linux is a suitable contender. If you have the technical know how of using your web publishing application and FTP, you can resort to the web host you like. It actually depends on the purpose you want your site to serve. As a matter of fact interactive websites use languages like PHP, Perl or ASP.

For web hosting purposes Linux is said to have more benefits than Windows. It is relatively more steady, secured and efficient and meets the requirements of challenging environments of Web servers. Only if you use Microsoft oriented languages you should resort to Windows. For mainly informative sites Linux is the best choice. But when it comes to having interactive chat sites or databases in your site Windows 2000 is a better choice.

A web address developed for a Linux based server can easily be moved to a Windows based server. The opposite is not so easy. Linux traditionally gives a stable and rock solid foundation to your site. A web site based on Linux hosting usually has superior up-time than its windows counterpart. The Linux, as everyone knows, comes for free or occasionally at a meager distribution rate. This has led to its popularity among cash-stripped users. It bundles many applications with the OS that comes in handy in work and are as reliable as the OS. A Linux based web hosting is more suitable for upgrading and modifying an existing web site since it offers more scalability than Windows.

Web Hosting Password Security : Secure your Data

Host Brains — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 14:15:01 +0000

We always recommend all our clients to regularly change their Ftp/Cpanel password because its always important to do this in order to secure your important content.

There are many chances that hackers may hack your important data hosted on your website and in rare case you may lose the data, so the best option would be to have a secured password. Normally a Alpha-Numeric combination password is recommended because if you use passwords like ‘abcdef, zxcvbn, 123456′ etc hackers can get access to your ftp using some hacking scripts and you would be the sufferer. Another recommendation would be to take a regular backup of your data, because even though we take regular backup of your data, there are some minute chances that the Hard disk drive may get crashed and you wont be able to recover the data.

Its always better to take precaution and make sure you are always on safe side in order to save your time, money and resources.
