		<description><![CDATA[Having been running a web hosting company for a few years in my life has made me aware how much downtime costs. People just get mad when their sites dont show up to their clients. Once, a long downtime on my Windows server made me transfer the ownership to someone else who is more capable of doing it better than me. Since morning, I tired to use google about 7 times to search for various things, and I found that the big G was down. Holy fucking shit, does this happen to google too? Imagine a dying man searching for life insurance in google and finding it down People like me who depend on google for their lives would only now realize how important google is for them. As for me, I can&#8217;t do a thing right without google. Be it configuring a server, or to find the conversion rates, or to check the weather in places. Earlier I used to feel crippled when I was away from the internet, now I feel crippled without google itself and I am unable to make up my mind to have yahoo or msn substitute it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Vivekananda or someone said about a hundred years ago that the more you learn the more you discover your ignorance. I am just in the beginning stages of discovering how ignorant I have been. Well, there have been errors that I have never come across in the past, and maybe it was because I was busy selling hosting to meet my commitments. Only after I have sold Indyahozting I find myself to be learning a lot of things about linux. And ubunut is helping me a lot in it. I have installed ubuntu on my computer only for the great usage of gnome, It is nearly 2 years since I have started using ubuntu, and I have not found one better distro that would let me use my computer to the fullest extent. Not fedora, not gentoo not anything else. The RPM based distros are only good for the servers and not for desktops. Yesterday on a friend&#8217;s server, the mails were not going out, and he had asked me to look into it. Adn this was the error that I had got. 209.172.41.200. I checked the resolver at /etc/resolv.conf and it showed the right nameserver IPs. Then I did  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/rnonlocal-mailing-to-remote-domains-not-supported/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today it might sound surprizing. But in about 10 years from now, this would be just a very common thing like a keylogger that we use today. Well, the geeks are developing again, and are planning to come up with some stuff that would record ways that you use your keyboard and your mouse and the way you browse through a website. This sure is going to take up a lot of space in log files on the servers, but if you do something funny, such as use a fake credit card on a porn site, the cops will come right to your house with handcuffs and sentence you to death without trial. The technology is being designed as a very valid evidence against people in court. Well, this is one good thing. If you run a porn site, or a merchant store for that matter, you can make sure that you get very little fake entries.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I must say, that out of my experience of running a web hosting copany and trying out several control panels by spending money for all that from my own pocket, I have come to the conclusion that linux is the best operating system for budget servers. If you run a bank then you might need solaris and stuff but for basic operations of putting up a decent website online, the best operating system that you could look for to operate the server is Linux. Windows sucks. And unfortunately to make things easier on a web server you need something that is called a control panel that will maek all sorts of configurations for you. And without the control panel you will have to do all these settings manually and if you would be hositng a lot of websites on the server you would find yourself overloded with the work. On linux, the best control panel is cpanel. Plesk sucks. There are a lot of open source alternatives, but none have the rich features of cpanel cpanel has got everyhting that you could ever think of. I recently bought a vps for a small requirement from a provider, and to save  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/cpanel-is-the-best-control-panel-for-linux/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have my hosting with hostgator. Though I used to be the so called managing director of Indyahozting, I preferred my sites to be somewhere else when I moved out of the company, and so I chose hostgator apart from everyone else The name sounded cool, and I know that the site is in existence for the past 7 years. Well, the deal is I pay them $10 every month, and they give me a hosting account on which I can host unlimited domains and create unlimited databases and use upto 600 GB of space. Wow, what more do I need? I asked them whats the catch, and they told me that I cannot use more than 25% of the servers resources, and that they have a dual xeon server with 4 gb ram and stuff. They refuse to tell me how much hard disk they have got. They cant have more than 4&#215;500 gb hard drives raided together. Thats only 2 TB. How are they sharing 600 gb to each client hosted on this server? Bullshit. I know that as I too have been selling hosting for some time now. There is no such thing as Unlimited.

		<description><![CDATA[Pondicherry is not a big city. It is more of a tourist spot, and a place wehre politicians fight for their superiority within their 1 KM zones in which they would be elected. I have never cared to learn what it is called in English, but in Tamil, they call it Toguthi. Well, so, the only standard ISP in Pondicherry just like in most parts of India is BSNL, and both at my home and at my office I am stuck with BSNL broadband, since the only other good one available is Airtel and it has a very very limited coverage here in Pondicherry. Untill a few months ago, the connection at my home used to give problems every once in a while, and I used to get heavy bills for the usage though I doubt that I have used it much in those days, but right now, with the unlimited connections both at home and office, there is hardly any downtime. Untill recently. At the office, for the past few days in the afternoon hours a strange phenomenon is occuring when the internet goes off every 150 seconds and comes back after every 150 seconds.

		<description><![CDATA[The trend of hosting multiple sites on one server has gone, and right now it is in fashion to host one site on several servers. Well, sites that have traffic or a lot of content ofcourse. Take for example an image gallery that has got a lot of images, which is updated automatically from several websites onthe web. Did you knwo that hosting images or content on your site giving proper credits to the copyright owners of the images or by linking to them is never illegal? So, if you get an idea to start a site like that, you can never do with just 1 server. You will become someone like flikr, attract images from everywhere, and put them on automated image galleries, and this way traffic will automatically come over to your website, and with that traffic you could make a lot of money selling ads and stuff. This is why today you might see people ordering 10s and 100s of servers all at one go with the datacenters at good discounted rates, and network them internally to make them into a grid, or make them into one single server with loads of processor resources memory and disk  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/server-grids/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There seemed to be a big booming industry for web hosting support in India about a year ago, but now it seems that it is hopeless, because of several reasons. People from India having to manage servers in the US face a 300 ms latency, which is quite a lot when you want to get a big work done. At times this latency goes up due to a network congestion, and this could mean hours of delay in the larger scale. And people in India dont have the skill to get things done effeciently, and all that they are fit for is something like in a BPO or a call center job. You will find that all employees are let very loose thru the employment screening processes everywhere. Handing a server to an irresponsible guy would prove to be hopeless, and it is always better to take support from the datacentre itself if possible.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Downloading data with torrents may sound relatively easier, but it is a heavy load on the isp. When you download a file directly from http or ftp, only one single connection is required between your computer and the server that supplies you data. But open source software though they own servers, prefer to distribute software thru torrents so that when people are downloading softwar,e they can share it by uploading a part of it too, and this way, the file serving costs of the software provider will be reduced a lot. But what really happens is that for one single file download, you will find that you are having over 100 connections with your torrent client such as azureus or utorrent or ktorrent. And this really clogs up data everywhere, and soon this too will be eliminated just like they have eleminated spam mail. If spam mail is a botheration to an induvidual, torrents are a botheration to the whole world.]]></description>

Well, Im gambling a bit, and am starting up a stand alone adfarm. I have rented a few servers from a Datacentre at Singapore, got a few publishers accounts from here and there, and got plenty of domain names to spare, and all I need is some 30 people, 10 in a shift, working for 6 days a week in the strategy that I have developed to make a substantial income for the office to support itself, and give me a good share of the money. I have the office ready, and am currently in the process of buying office furniture, and computers as well. I should then look for some good decorators to give the place a good look. Since the office would be open 24 hours a day, a lot of things should be done to keep the environment just the same in all 3 shifts.]]></description>

Well, a gun is dangerous, but it is the finger that pulls the trigger. In the hands of the wrong person, it could be dangerous and unpleasant for everyone. What does it do? It reads RSS feeds and converts them into posts in your blog. I had about 5 blogs that were idle, for which I couldnt really find things to write. So what did I do? I just installed feedwordpress on them, and syndicated them with free RSS feeds that I found on RSS Directories, and all the 5 blogs are being updated with about 5000 posts per day. I would run adbrite on these blogs, and drive traffic to them, and get them clicked on and make money. This isn&#8217;t that bad, or illegal, but it is unethical. It does give a considerable amount of load to the servers, well, i am paying for that, and  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/feedwordpress-a-dark-plugin/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was looking around everywhere on the internet to drive some decent traffic to my blog, people who would really like to read my post, subscribe to my rss feeds, and become recurring readers to my blog. Thats when I found sites like Traffic Mother, that offer about 10000 hits for about $7, which is something that would be delivered in a time frame of less than 1 minute. They also claim that they always give you the statistics correctly, and that the local statistics that you might have installed on your computer will definitely not work correctly and give you the correct number since the hits that arrive would be so rapid. I asked a friend of mine who was luckily on chat at that time for his opinion, and he said in a single sentence, &#8220;They are all Bots&#8221; Naturally, I should have known this myself. How could I have been so stupid? Who on earth would drive 10000 people to your website for just $7? If these sites were true, google would be out of business in a giffy. Well, perhaps, you could use this once in a while to increase your Alexa Ranking, or if you  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/the-mother-of-all-traffic/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One big problem with an online reservation system is that you will have your database and files on a server that would be thousands of miles away from your place. And this would result in a deal slow down of ticket reservations. Let us say that we have a system developed and hosted in on a server that would serve a movie theatre where people would be standing in a queue at the counter to get their tickets, as well as people would be booking it online thru the website. This would mean a lot of database operations, and without a high end database server, you cant hope to have a good speed in the database operations. Apart from that, there is a latency of the time that is taken to access the servers for every database or file query. This could take a lot of time. Therefore the best way to do is to keep online and offline reservations seperate, allot seats seperately. Or just have a reservation system, and get seats alloted at the counter like the airline people do. There are a million to EASY WAYS TO EARN CASH FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME, and  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/problems-with-online-reservation/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Web Hosting is not an easy job. I know how tough it is. I have been doing it for about 5 years for gods sake. Managing your servers remotely, negotiating with Data Centres, and getting your work done and by no means displeasing the client. Phew!!, Im thru with it and have let the professionals take over. Webhostinggeeks.com is a PR7 site that provides unbiased web hosting reviews and customer reviews of major web hosting company. The site reviews hosting companies over a wide range of categories of producst and services that they offer, such as free domin name, free hosting for domain name etc, and you can find a lot of companies indexed on the website, and clicking on each of them will give you the unbiased positive user review. If you dont want your hosting service provider to take you for a ride, you need to know what is what is where is where when you get hosting from someone. For example, you cannot run ASP in linux, and if you dont know that, any hosting service provider that is not as decent as my own indyahozting will definitely take you for a ride, and make you pay  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/web-hosting-geeks/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People who were running their sites with static web pages are excited to run their sites with dynamic components in it and a database. They could go for joomla if they want a content management system, or they could go for OS commerce or anything thats like that if they need a shopping cart. But people fascinate themselves by developing a site for themselves. And when they do such things without any experience, they do everything wrong. They dont give an index key in the database, and this would mean that comparing every data would consume a lot of time, and a lot of server resources. When we admins find that a particular site is overloading the database, we take the appropriate action, and negotiating with the client that though his site is small, the processing resources that its consuming is high, they will not understand. It is better not to worry about such programmers. And always maintain a high price for your hosting and give people who know what is what some quality support, and make sure that they dont do bullshit on your servers like this.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have got a newly setup server, you could take a trial of plesk. Plesk installs only on brand new servers, and if you have installed anything other than windows updates or something, it will not get installed properly. So, on such a server, you could install plesk by donwloading it from swsoft.com, and, registering for the single domain license. You will be able to create 1 domain name, and all features such as database, mail box and everything is limited to one. Great if you have a single domain website that needs to run on a server. There are several servers that are available for as low as $20 these days, so if you think you would rather put up your site in one such server, you could consider going for it with a single domain plesk license.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Colocating or renting, you need to have your servers in a good data centre. There is a deadly thing called an IP that is associated with every server, and the IPs come with some amount of credibilty. There are also other things that need to be worried about when choosing a datacentre. How to choose a Data Centre 1. The datacentre should be well known and popular. Instead of trying to save a few dollars by going for a smaller service provider, you could loose big if something goes wrong. 2. How big the datacentre is, and how many servers they are handling and how many clients they serve, how many staff, tech and not tech they have got, and how effecient is their billing system. 3. What are the levels of service and the response times that the datacentre offers. 4. How strong are their Anti Spam policies. 5. How sexy do their IPs look. The IPs are the most important factors to be looked at. A whois search of the IPs show the names of the datacentre, and IPs of The Planet, Softlayer, Rackspace, Serversea etc are not blacklisted easily, while, the cheaper providers such as Layered Technologies,  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/where-to-buy-servers-part-ii/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why Advertise? Having started a business, it will always cost you to own it. As in a hosting, you will need to pay for the servers, and perhaps your office, so one month of delayed advertising means one month of expense wasted. So, as and when your site is ready, it is best to carry on with advertising immediately, and make sure that you have sufficient staff who can take care of the manual work for you. It would be completely foolish to wait for the site to show up in top positions in the search engines how ever good the SEO has been. Till that happens, use various modes such as PPC, Banner Advertising, Link Exchange, Paid Directory Listings and affiliate marketing thru your existing clients. How to advertise Payperclick is a good start. Google Adsense, Yahoo and MSN all offer PPC. It is not advisable to go for adbrite and other related networks where they do only content publishing. People who whish to buy hosting always go to search engines to look for available options, and then to directories thru search engines. They dont really visit blogs to click on ads there. And in my experience, there have  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/how-to-sell-hosting-part-ii/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Running a hosting company for quite a few years now, I know what to host and what not to host. And, I guess i can tell most of the times if a site is a legitimate site, or a money making site, or an out right scamming site just by having a look at it. When you run a hosting company that is fully automated, where visitors come by themselves, purchase hosting on your site, make the payment and the account gets activated, and they start using it, you dont have any work to do there. And you have plenty of time. You could do well to utilize this time to review the various sites that are hosted on your servers. What they have in the front end and what they have behind the scenes. Most of the times, the datacentre, or the ISP will send you alerts if there are any malicious activities going on on any of the sites on your server, and all you need to do would be to suspend the hosting and the domain. But at times, somethings might go terribly wrong that the ISPs take your server offline by detatching the IP before they  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/what-not-to-host-part-i/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trust me, its the most difficult job in the world. You can transfer cargo, just put them in containers and load them on ships and unload them where ever you want, but backing up with plesk from the old server and moving it to the new server and restoring it there is the most difficult thing that I have ever done. Personally I have shifted homes, I have shifted offices, shifted my own websites between servers before I started a hosting company, and now I find that all very easy. No matter how many men you have to do the work, you cant work any faster than the server would. Plesk is dead slow, and with all those sites working on the server, and with clients from all over the world, there is no off peek time for your server, you will never make it. Plesk has a backup restore function, which you need to use from the remote desktop. Create the backup selecting resellers or domains in each task, and once its complete, move the backup file to the new server, and restore it there thru the plesk bakcup resotre function. Sounds easy? It will, till you see it.  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/migrating-a-plesk-server/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

But worried that you are committed to your clients for atleast another year and that your current bank balance will not let you run the servers for another year without any new sales, and sales will increase the term of your commitment? Sell your company. Waaaat? Sell my company? I spent days and nights together in building up the brand and the client base. My clients know me induvidually. How do I sell my company? How would I make sure that the buyer treats my clients well? How do I make sure that the clients dont miss me? No big deal. Selling a hosting company is not like selling a Jaguar. If you dont do it in the scale of Hostgator, Dream Host or others, you shouldnt have tooo many clients. Because, if you had tooo many clients, you wouldnt get bored and wouldnt want to look for something else right? Well, lets Imaging you have about 10,000 clients till date. All happy clients, but unfortunately, you did some overselling, and they are all costing you too much now, and you are planning  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/company-transition-why-sell/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

But if you are starting off small, and are keeping everything under one roof, including sales, and support, isolate sales from support. Give support most priority. Keep them on an isolated intercom circuit. Give them the best power backup. Have more than one internet connection for them, even if you have a best internet service provider&#8217;s connection in your region. Install seperate local servers for the sales, billing and the support teams. Always keep them on seperate LAN connections on seperate internet connections. You wouldnt want your sales people to know which client is having problems, and your support to know how much sales is being done. Though support people may guess that from the number of new accounts that are bing created, it is best to keep them all isolated. Provide seperate PCs for each of your staff. If you have 3 support guys, one working on each shift, give them an induvidual PC, 1 for each, and dont let them share a common PC. They should be able to access the details and everything that they need from a common server to which all support  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/infrastructure-for-a-hosting-company/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let it be any business you run, any service that you proivde, you cant do much without a proper helpdesk in place. Providing support thru email without a ticketing system that assigns mails induvidual tickets with which you can track multiple communications for an issue will be very difficult. Maybe with gmail, things would be easy since it saves emails as conversations, but it would do better with a helpdesk software. Something like kayako. Kayako is a helpdesk software that I have used for quite some time, and have liked a lot. I must say, that its simply great. It has got all the features that you need in a helpdesk software. Let me tell you how I have been using it. I never trusted my servers for mails. And, particularly, if my servers were down for some reason, all helpdesk mails sent to indyahozting would be lost. So I had taken email hosting seperately at directi, and had the dns for indyahozting with them too, so that no matter what happens to the site or the server, the mails dont go down, and all mails are received for us to chekc and reply. Why didnt I choose google apps?  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/helpdesk-software/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What happens when you give too much of space for a very low price? People host forums in there, and give a lot of previlleges to its users. Lots of storage, and a lot of searches at any time. This means, a heavy database load for your server. So, if you decide to put limitations on the number of database connections at any given time to 20 or 50 or 100 depending on your server&#8217;s capacity, what would people do with a lot of space? 600 GB for $10 a month is the standard that is being sold. Overselling it is, I shall discuss that later, but what would you do if your client uploads a php script that downloads all images and stores it into your hard drive, and he just opens a forum at some free phpbb sites and hotlinks to the photos in your servers? You just waste a lot of space, and a lot of bandwidth, all that for just $10 a month that you get from the client. How to prevent this? Have a good TOS, where you clearly mention that the user is not to host anything on the space that he has been  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/hotlinking/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you are running a server with lots of logins created for plenty of resellers and clients under resellers. Are you sure that they have kept their passwords safe, and make sure that they cannot be hacked. To be honest, I have had some, sorry to say, stupid clients, who keep their passwords very simple such as &#8220;pass&#8221; or &#8220;password&#8221;, and hackers who are looking for free hosting on which people run unsuspecting sites to create their paypal spoofing pages and stuff, just login, place their files, and start spamming. The user of the site will see a sudden increase in the traffic to the site, and would be overwhelmed, but will not see a considerable boost in their adsense impressions. They just stay there wondering, untill the cyber cell calls you up and investigates about phishing and spoofing happening on your servers. Or the datacentre just goes ahead and suspends your server and gives you a mail asking you to remove teh content. And when you send them several mails asking them how on earth you are supposed to remove teh content when your server is taken offline and when clients are calling you like crazy since you opened  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/passwords-safe/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you got a server or a vps? Are you running a reseller hosting business? Or just sharing servers with your firends while you are administering the server? Well, I have got 1 good piece of advise for you. Never give SSH access in linux, or Remote Desktop access for windows for your reseller account holders. Why? Though their access might be restricted, you are literally giving them previlleges to download and install scripts on the server. They cant do that can they? You manage the server for them, and if they do something irresponsible, it would become your headache to get it fixed, and if they do something that affects your other clients? They will hold you responsible. When in remote desktop, they can access the browser, and if they use it for some illegal activity, like using fake credit cards or stolen card numbers from your server on some site for some server or buy things, your server&#8217;s ips get recorded, and if there is a dispute, not only your server will be suspended, you will become responsible for the transactions that happen. And if the client installs a mass mailing software on the remote desktop and uses  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/never-give-ssh-or-remote-desktop-access-to-resellers/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Doesnt make a big different actually. Many datacentres make a big fuzz about offering 100 Mbps uplink over 10 Mbps for an additional fee. But all servers on a datacenter are on shared internet lines, and unless you are doing some heavy ftp or file transfers during server migration, from server to server on the same data center, it will not make much difference at all. Any regular user who wishes to view a website on your server will not take more than 1 KB of traffic at any given time. So even if there are 5000 visitors on your server viewing all the sites, you need a bandwidth of only 5 MB. And that kind of traffic a single server cannot handle, as you will hear the hard disk exploding if 5000 requests are given at a time to the hard disk. It is not really necessary that you go for the 100 Mbps connection. If you think it is required for a migration or something, you could get it temporarily for a month or so, and roll back to 10 Mbps while your servers are in regular operations.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How to sell hosting? There are millions and millions of websites along the Whispering Corridor out there that are offering web hosting. How do you get yourself into the business and move on to a bigger scale rather than providing hosting only for the small network of people whom you know? How do you make sure that people ignore all other providers and come to you? How do you sit back and relax and get everything automated? How to spot illegal purchases? There are so many things like these that should be thought about when trying to sell web hosting. And providing web hosting and domain names is not an easy job. What are you offering? It is Web Hosting. You are playing host to your clients websites. And as clients are your guests, you need to give them the best of services. It is just like running a hotel, or providing a house on a rent or a lease. It shouldnt be termed as a sale. It is renting out of space. You get a server, and you install a control panel on it with which you can allot any amount of available space on the server to any  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/how-to-sell-hosting-part-i/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had named my company long before it was started, as webaholics. And in 2005, when I looked for the domain name, I found that webaholics.com was taken, and with webaholics.in not public yet, I had to settle for webaholics.co.in. And this is that domain. I was running a web hosting site on this domain name. When I started all I had was a reseller account taken from datapacket.net, which eventually got blocked for spamming. One of my clients spammed their servers off it seems, and the one who spammed got his money back from me, and I learnt the lesson and took my first server. With the servers I was able to offer Windows Reseller Accounts with Helm control panel, and slowly the sales boosted, and i started acquiring more and more servers, and learned a lot of thing myself, such as Plesk is the best hosting control panel for windows and Cpanel is the best for linux, and that Red Hat is best for servers while ubuntu is best for PCs. This is because Red Hat&#8217;s support is cheaper than ubuntu&#8217;s Later I went on to start a website called indyahozting, which Im still running, and this domain  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/hosting-to-blogging/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hmmmm, a hosting company. Is that really an easy job? But still, with the growing demand for websites these days, and with anyone who has a pc turning into a Web Designer, its not that hard for any host to live on. I started to host in 2003, and the number of hosting companies were a few hundreds, and right now, its crossed over ten thousand. and I regretfully admit that a lot of companies who started in my scale at around the same time I started, have overtaken me long before, and that I think I have remained stagnant for the past one year more than ever. Everyone sells with the most common features, on most common packages, with a difference of $1 or $2 comparing to who ever he thinks is his competitor. When you start a hosting company, you will find a lot of tadpoles racing with you just to annoy you, when you feel like swimming alone. The best thing to would be to ignore the tadpoles, or get deeper into the stream so that the tadpoles cannot withstand the current and you get to swim with the bigger fishes. So what all you would need  <a href="http://ravisblog.com/wanna-start-a-hosting-company/"> Continue Reading</a>]]></description>
