Things to consider while choosing webhosts

Its not true that all of the web hosting companies up on the web are really the true companies or they deliver what they say? Have you heard about 99.99% uptime that’s a hypothetical statement to utter? I’m targeting this tutorial to those who really want to know what exactly is going on behind the scene. What things you should know about the offers which you hear from these companies. You should know what the companies are offering and what exactly they meant by that.

Web host with short or no trial period at all

Trial periods of the hosting companies are a good way of checking the support and the service quality but be sure about the hosting company’s return policy about the money if you really don’t like them. Try to choose the company with the trial period of at least 30 days and my suggestion is that you should avoid the companies with less than a month trial period. If you really want to buy from them then check the reviews at HSider.com for the real customer reviews of the company

Outdated software and web application

Every day there are the stories of the hacked sites. One of the main reason is the out dated software usage. If your company have a hard stance on using the old versions of the softwares then simply choke them at all.

Hidden charges or enormous cancellation fees

DO they tell you about (extra cost for scripts usage and stats reporting) and enormous cancellation fees.?
Ask the sales team of the company about this.

Terrible customer supports

Ask presell questions, check with related forums, ask around on your social network friends – these are some of the methods to determine whether the hosting companies are responsive in term of customer supports.Ask silly questions and check what they answer to you. Browse the forums and check the social networking sites to check whats the status of the support team? Especially if someone is reselling it to u.

100% or 99.9%uptime guarantees

No web host can sustains its server uptime perfectly in long run. There are too many factors (power, networks, human errors, software errors, equipment failure) that decide a server’s stability and it’s just impossible for any hosting company to assure they will have 100% or 99.9%uptime in long term (yes, not even Google!). Thus, hosting companies that promised 100% or 99.9%uptime are actually lying – avoid them at all cost.

Unlimited hosting

It only means that the limited resources but more than that of your needs. Is It? Ask them the reall picture. Unlimited bandwidth or what?

Use of green hosting as marketing gimmicks

Nowadays ‘Go Green’ is a heated phrase in marketing. Beware of irresponsible web hosts that use ‘Green Hosting’ as marketing gimmicks and make sure the web host is certified by related authorities.

Overpriced hosting plans

Check the pricing comparisons at HSpider.com every company claims that they are cheap but how cheap is the cheap God knows.

Unmanaged overselling

A lots of customers mean that the company is well established. Ill managed resources or webhosting means you will be suffering in the hands of the resource teams. They will be entertaining you on ur turn which can be from 1 minute to 100 hours :D

Host Spider - Baronyx to Build Wind-Powered Data Center

Data center operator Baronyx (www.baronyx.com) announced on Friday it plans to build a 28,000-square-foot data center in Stratford, Texas that will be powered by wind turbines.

Last month, the company won three land lease bids from the State of Texas to construct wind farm-powered data centers, as well as other forms of energy that operate with zero carbon dioxide emissions.

The wind turbines will be comprised of two offshore turbines of more than 19,000 acres each, and 8,000 acres of onshore turbines.

The company says that the data center will be initially be powered by 150 onshore wind turbines near the data center, located in the Texas panhandle. Each turbine will be able to produce 3.3 to 6MW of power.

Over time, the data center will add more machines, which will require more power. The company will then add 450 additional offshore turbines in the Gulf of Mexico to generate significantly more power.

When these farms are fully functional, Baryonyx will supply power to the Texas General Land Office, and in turn, they will sell the electricity to cities, schools, and prisons.

These profits will be allocated to the Texas Permanent School Fund, a state-run organization that funds public schools through a means other than taxes.

Baryonyx is an start-up company that specializes to innovative energy solutions, primarily in wind power.
