The importance of presence on the internet is realized by entrepreneurs as well as individuals. Website is a portal that can be used to exchange information and services as well as sell and advertise our own products whether it is a personal  blog / website or a fortune 500 company. Web hosting is simply the way a website is hosted on the Internet, and depending on the scope of the website, there are a variety of plans available as per your requirements.

Choosing between a dedicated web hosting plan and a shared web hosting plan comes down to the needs of a website. If a business or individual wants to take a hands off approach and does not need to manage the website themselves, a shared web hosting plan should be adequate. While dedicated web hosting plan is appropriate for more sophisticated websites that get a lot of traffic and need secure server space for e-commerce and customer transactions.

The basic two web hosting options available are Shared Hosting and Dedicated Server Hosting. They offer many of the same features like domain registration and unlimited emails. Often, it is the size of the website and the applications you want to run on server will determine whether a shared hosting plan or a dedicated hosting plan is more appropriate. You can have option for windows hosting or linux hosting in shared as well as dedicated hosting. It will depend on the script of your website.

Shared Hosting is ideal for individuals and businesses that want the hosting company to manage and maintain the server. In shared hosting you get a cost efficient hosting option where your website shares space on a server with other websites owners. The web hosting provider owns the server and resale the space to other websites. Shared hosting offers businesses and individuals an cheap web hosting option that can support unlimited emails but provides limited customization capabilities.

With Dedicated web hosting package where you get more control and flexibility over the server. Website hosted on a dedicated server does not share web space with any other websites. Dedicated web hosting offers more storage and bandwidth and is ideal for e-commerce websites that get a lot of heavy traffic. With a dedicated server, your website won’t slow down in functionality when a lot of users migrate to the site. Because it has larger storage capabilities, companies can place their customized software and scripts on the server and manage their content and make software changes more frequently. We have managed dedicated server so client don need to worry about any technical issues.

You can create unlimited MySQL Database within the disk space allocated to your hosting account. There is no restriction on number of database and size as long as you have disk space allocated to your account.

On our shared hosting server’s there are connection limits which prevent any MySQL database from establishing more than 50 concurrent connections at any given time. This ensures our servers stability and best performance. Our 99.95% uptime guarantee has been successful mainly due to the MySQL connection limits and Apache concurrent connection limits and this connection limits allow us to keep our servers in good shape most of the time and our 99.95% uptime guarantee have been successful mainly due to the MySQL connection limits and Apache concurrent connection limits. Websites with less than 5000 unique visitors per day should not be concerned at all as our MySQL connection limits and apache connection limits make no difference for those who get less than 5000 unique visitors daily.

There is no such connection limit on our VPS Hosting, Semi Dedicated Hosting or Dedicated Server Hosting plans. You can implement connection limits on your dedicated server, vps or Semi-Dedicated server if you want to resell shared hosting and reseller hosting service to your customers.

Do you setup server mirroring ?

Mirrored servers used to avoid any downtime for your dedicated server. We provide mirrored servers solution to our clients by configuring 2 similar servers. We setup servers in 2 different racks out of which one server is the master server and other is slave server. Once you setup a mirrored dedicated server in case, the master server fails then the slave server can immediately take its place without any downtime. We use FAM and RSYNC modules for server mirroring.

What is Failover Process ?
In failover process if the master server goes down then slave server immediately get activated for accepting users or application requests. Failover help to avoid any downtime so your server application runs smoothly.

What is restoration process ?
Restoration process involves copying the up-to-date data from the slave server back to the original location which is the master server. It requires selection of source target and appropriate replication set. Restoration process take place after the Failover to move all recent updated data to master server when its ready to use.

To setup a mirrored server you need to consider our 2 dedicated servers with same configuration. We do not take any additional fees for setup you just need to pay the cost for 2 dedicated servers. Please send us an email at sales@host.co.in for further assistance.

We do offer Load Balanced Apache Web Servers with our MySQL servers. Load balanced servers have been proved to be very useful when you are working with high traffic website application. We make use of multiple apache servers and high configurations hardware capabilities for our MySQL Servers. Clustering of apache servers is quite simple and the only cost involved in it is for the dedicated servers as compared to Clustering of multiple MySQL servers.

Two similar configuration servers are setup which will be behind the Load Balancer. After the implementation of Load Balancing routing rules on the Load Balancer, Firewall rules are configured to allow web traffic on the Web servers to pass trough the Load Balancer. Host IP and your Main IP both would be the only IPs to have remote access of all Servers. No other server will able to access either of the four servers. Load Balancer will be responsible for equal distribution of traffic on each of the Web Servers and each of your web servers will then pass on MySQL queries to the Database Server.

Web Servers will allow only inbound connection on port 80, while MySQL server will allow only inbound connection on port 3306 through the Web Servers only. Inbuilt TCP / IP firewall settings of Linux are utilized for this setup and this eliminates any requirement of additional Hardware Firewall. If you have any further questions in regards to this you can contact your Web Hosting Service Provider.
