VPS Vs Cloud: VPS Hosting, With a Chance of Cloud Hosting

Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting and Cloud hosting are two of the more popular options that are available to companies looking to host their websites with a third-party service provider. With VPS hosting, a website is hosted inside a virtual partition on a large hosting server. The hosting server itself typically contains numerous similar virtual partitions, or virtual servers, each one of which in turn is capable of hosting a separate website. A cloud option is somewhat similar, in the sense that websites are typically hosted on a virtual partition. However, in a cloud environment, the hosting server itself comprises of a collection of servers and storage resources that are tied together to create one massive hosting resource.

Despite the tremendous buzz generated by cloud hosting services, for most website owners today, VPS services offer a more practical and cost-effective solution. With VPS hosting, website owners can purchase the specific amount of computing and storage resources they require for their current needs, and only pay for that specific amount every month. VPS models allow companies to develop a predictable budget for their website hosting needs and gives them the flexibility to move quickly to a new plan in case their resource requirements increase over time.

In contrast, with many cloud computing plans, website owners do not have to specify their resources requirements up front. A website can use as much resources as it needs at any time, or as little as it needs. Website owners are typically billed based on their actual usage of resources during a bill cycle. While such scalability-on-demand can be extremely useful, it can also be costly. As a result, cloud options are often more costly than conventional VPS hosting plans. That is one of the reasons why industry analysts often recommend cloud hosting plans only for larger websites, such as those that garner upwards of 50,000 hits a day or those that support robust e-commerce capabilities.

A VPS plan also gives a website owner more direct control over the virtual domains. Most VPS plans allow website administrators to configure their virtual domains and to run the software of their choice inside their virtual servers. Such flexibility is harder to come by with cloud plans. One of the most compelling cases for choosing VPS models is the fact that it offers an easy upgrade path to cloud hosting environments. Companies that currently have their websites hosted on a Virtual Private Server can migrate to the cloud relatively easily because the hosting models are almost identical. With both VPS and cloud based models, websites are hosted on virtual partitions within larger servers so companies that are already using VPS hosting will see little to no difference from a migration to cloud computing.

Open source version of Virtuozzo – openVZ

Open source version of Virtuozzo is called OpenVZ created by Paralles.

OpenVZ is container-based virtualization for Linux. OpenVZ creates multiple secure, isolated containers (otherwise known as VEs or VPSs) on a single physical server enabling better server utilization and ensuring that applications do not conflict. Each container performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server; a container can be rebooted independently and have root access, users, IP addresses, memory, processes, files, applications, system libraries and configuration files.

OpenVZ is free open source software, available under GNU GPL.

OpenVZ project is supported by Parallels

Installing Wordpress in cPanel

The blog can no longer be called a fad, as it is more like a phenomenon.  Blogs have gone from small platforms to complete websites with all the works.  They are used by a range of demographics from teens and adults to freelance writers and well known online entities.  Many have used the blog as their vehicle to success.  Some have even gone on to say that no business should be without one.  Thanks to web hosting technology, blogs are no longer limited to their respective development community.

Control panels are powerful web hosting tools that enable users to build and administer their site with ease.  cPanel is regarded as one of the best and is currently the most widely installed.  This control panel is known for being user-friendly with a plethora of features.  cPanel allows you to manage your emails, set up domains, view web stats, backup data and much more right from the interface.  It also gives you the ability implement a variety of scripts to create message forums, chat rooms and even blogging software.

In this tutorial you learn how to install the popular Wordpress blogging software in cPanel by way of the Fantastico script installer.  If you make use of another control panel, we suggest referring to the Wordpress website for more details.

Getting Started

After logging into the cPanel account, click on the “Fantastico” icon.  When that window opens, open the “Full List” menu and click the “Wordpress” link in the “Blogs” category.  A separate page for Wordpress will open giving a short description on what the program is about.  After verifying that the server has adequate space, you will click on a link that reads “New Installation”.

Your next step is to make a few essential configurations, starting with the installation location.  Your options are “Install on Domain” and “Install in Directory”.  If you want to install Wordpress on your domain, access the drop-down menu and select the appropriate name.  If want to install it on the root of your domain, leave the “Install in Directory” section blank.  For example, if you want to access Wordpress in a different directory such as “blog”, you would type something like this into the field: http://mysite.com/blog.

After determining where to install the program, you will then need to assign a username and password, the credentials that will allow you to access the back-end of Wordpress.  Enter the following information into the main configuration section:

Administrative nickname: This is the name that will be display on your Wordpress administrative account

Administrative email: The email account where you want to receive administrative messages

Site name: The URL that represents your website

Description: A short description that describes your website

Once you have entered this information, click on the “install” button.  From there the installation will notify you of the updates that were made.  After clicking the “Finish Installation” button you’re done.  You then have the option of sending the details to a particular email account or returning to the overview section.

Tips on Reducing Spam

#1 – In cPanel, set the default address to :fail:

This means that you must have a POP3 account or Mail Forwarder setup for every address@yourdomain.com that you actually want to receive mail at. Any other address@yourdomain will fail. (Which is good, because spammers usually target random email addresses).

#2 – Do NOT use any common email addresses. This includes (accounting, billing, sales, support, webmaster, abuse, ect… ect…)

Instead of having a POP3 or Fowarder for common addresses, setup an auto-responder instead. Your autoresponder could have a message similar to the following:

Quote:
Were sorry, your message was NOT received. Due to the large amount of spam sent to common email addresses, sales@yourdomain.com is no longer a valid address.If you are trying to reach the sales department, please email salesdept@yourdomain.com

This let’s people who are really trying to reach you know the proper address to send mail to. Luckily spammers usually use fake addresses, and will never see the auto-reply.

#3 – If you want to list your email address on your website, make it an image. Spammers sometimes use automated software that searches web sites for email addresses. Luckily their software can not read email addresses if there an image.

#4 – Be cautious when filling out forms on the web. Alot of offers on the web are really just an attempt to get your email address. So if you don’t fully trust a company, don’t give them your email address. If you really want to give an email address to an untrusted company, create a yahoo or gmail account.

What are file and folder permissions?

Owner = the files users (you)
Group = the files group
Others = others

Permissions Definitions:

r = read access
x = execute access
w = write access

Numerical Definitions:

r = 4
w = 2
x = 1

You will come to recognize, if you do not already, Chmod as a word used for changing Permissions from within Telnet or your FTP client.

Some scripts will tell you to chmod 775 (for example). When using the numeric system, the code for permissions is as follows:

4 + 2 + 1 (rwx) = 7

The first number applies to Owner, the second number applies to Group, and the third number applies to Others. Therefore the first 7 of the chmod 775 tells Unix to change the Owner’s permissions to rxw (because r=4 + w=2 + x=1 adds up to 7, this giving the Owner Read, Write, and Execute Permission. The second 7 applies to the group, this giving the Group Read, Write, and Execute Permission, and the last number 5, refers to Others (4 + 1= 5), giving Others only Read and Execute Permission. The permissions for chmod 775 look like this:

-rwxr-xr-x

Permissions are always broken up into three groups of letters, however if there is a dash, this dash simply means that Permission wasn’t given for that particular function, for example in the chmod 775, Permission to Write was not given to Others.

Remember: the first 3 letters always apply to Owner, the second 3 apply to Group, and the third 3 apply to Others. This is explained by ehostpros.com web Hosting support team.

What is DNS propagation?

DNS propagation is the process by which the computers on the Internet update their records to reflect new Domain Names and site names. Once your Domain Name has been propagated throughout the Internet, your Domain Name can be accessed. Once your web hosting account is set up, the process can take from 24-72 hours.

The Domain Name System is a global network of servers that translate host names into IP addresses. Most DNS servers are UNIX machines running BIND (Berkely Internet Name Domain) software; other platforms and software are available. The software is composed of two elements: the name server and a resolver. The name server responds to browser requests by supplying name-to-address conversions. This information is cached (saved for a predefined period of time). When/if it doesn’t know the answer, the resolver will ask another name server for the information. It continues to look up the ‘tree’ of name servers until it finds a name server that knows the answer. Occasionally browsers can timeout waiting for this process even when the propagation has taken place.

To add a package:

1) Click on the Add New Package link in the Packages menu.

2) Enter the name of the package and the maximum disk space the account can occupy in the Package Name and Quota fields.
