Things you can do 'without' in hosting

By THN News
October 13, 2011


Stanley Gnocci was looking forward to going camping with his family. To prepare for the trip he began backing everything that would be necessary for a family of four to go roughing it for a weekend.  He packed away changes of clothing, sunscreen, a TV, food, cooking supplies, free weights, sleeping bags, compressed air, bug spray, and several kitchen sinks. If this packing list sounds somewhat odd to you, you are not alone. Oddly enough this story does draw a parallel with web hosting.

November 26th, 2010


What would happen to your business or your personal records if all of the data on your computer suddenly disappeared? Suppose one morning when you turn on your computer, the screen is black with rows and rows of letters that make no sense? For a moment you panic because client records are gone, your billing information has disappeared, financial, telephone, emails, passwords, and even photographs of your children – all gone. And never believe just because you don’t click on attachments or that you never surf alien websites, that your computer is immune to a crash.

The advantages of dedicated servers for SMBs

By THN News
September 12, 2011


Small and midsize organizations make up an overwhelming majority and employ more than half the workforce of all U.S. businesses, so why wouldn’t they need similar technology as employed in huge corporations? While most SMB companies don’t have the same level of expertise nor the budget as the larger organizations, just the cost of maintaining and supporting computer systems and working to ensure continual upgrades of technology can extend way beyond what most companies can afford.

Budget hosting nuts and bolts

By THN News
August 22, 2011


Web hosting is like car shopping. You have to figure out what features you want, and what features you do not. Then you have to think consider others that might or might not be useful to you. Many web hosts tend to have a lot of features that you need, and then even more you do really do not. The biggest reason for this is that many web hosts try to outdo each other, to bring in customers, while some just have no idea what direction they are going so they really are just taking from everything so they do not get left out.

By THN News
August 22, 2011


If you have Internet and technology savoir-faire, you would have heard of the term Internet Protocol or IP address and must be aware that this is the method by which data is communicated or sent from one computer to another on the Internet.

By Jeffrey Zients
July 23, 2011


Just as our cell phones and computers have gotten progressively more efficient over the past decade, so too have data servers.

The art of video hosting

By THN News
May 13th, 2011

Blog Web Hosting Content Sponsored By: FatCow Web Hosting


Video hosting is a hosting service for websites that require online video sharing or streaming video. Web hosts and VPSs have limits on bandwidth. Both groups will say unlimited bandwidth, but that is not always the case as there is a maximum amount of bandwidth that can be used. Once you have exceeded it, this can lead to your site going down. This resulted in a need for another type of host, thus video hosting services were born.
