What To Look For In A Web Hosting Company

September 26th, 2011 nevena No comments

When deciding on a web hosting plan, you need to take a lot of hosting tips into account other than the price that will be charged for the hosting services. Sure in a dwindling economy price determines a lot of the decisions that you make but it shouldn’t be the only reason.

Some of the other hosting tips that you need to consider before settling on a web hosting service are:

Service Monitoring and Downtime guarantee.

If you plan on establishing a business website, then there are higher stakes than when you are only establishing a personal website. Not only could you lose plenty of business, but your business’ reputation might get completely obliterated if your site keeps going down. For this reason you ought to put these hosting tips into perspective and find out whether the service provider offers an uptime guarantee.

It is recommended that you go with a company that claims 100% uptime as you are less likely to get disappointed.

Read the Fine Print

You should be on the lookout for web hosting services that claim to offer unlimited bandwidth. Note these hosting tips: There is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth. Responsible service providers will only use this term in combination with the definition of unlimited, for instance 40GB. Scrupulous service providers use this word in no definite terms in order to draw in business, however, the minute your website exceeds a certain amount of bandwidth, the account gets suspended by the hosting company.

Before appending your John Hancock on any piece of paper, be sure that you have taken all the hosting tips into account.

VPS Hosting For Your DNS Server

September 17th, 2011 shane No comments

With the growth of your business, there are a number of benefits that stand to accrue by choosing to upgrade both the server functions through VPS hosting.

So as to host a DNS server you will have to choose between a hosted server, and a local server. Even though there are benefits that you stand to gain from if you choose local hosting such as on-site IT, you will gain more by deciding on VPS hosting. This means that you will not need to concern yourself with high level maintenance and security issues. Instead, you will leave it to the experts. The team of professionals will also scale your space needs based on what is required by your company.

When setting up this hosting for your DNS, two IPs are needed. A lot of VPS hosting services will give you options of whether to direct the addresses through the name server used or your own server. You also need to decide whether you will use a single server for both IPs or have your IPs placed on a variety of servers.

If you choose on having one server you will enjoy the benefit of reduced costs while on the same time saving on the physical space used. However, in terms of performance, you will receive the short end of the stick as your efficiency will be halved.

On the other hand if you choose to use multiple servers for your IPs, your cost will increase. However, you will enjoy greater liberty in determining how you want to have your resources spread out. Many VPS hosting providers will not limit the number of domains you want to host. They might limit though, the amount of traffic your sites receive.

An advantage of VPS hosting for DNS is that it allows you the benefit of reliability and free maintenance combined with faster page lookups.

How does a Forex VPS work?

July 18th, 2010 Julian No comments

Ultrahosting Forex VPS is a service that helps traders to deploy their expert advisors on a virtual server that will be running 24/7 without interruptions, independently from the trader’s own computer and without any efforts from the trader’s side. If you have a working MT4 EA, it’s always better to install it on a VPS, because when an EA is running from your home or office PC there is always a chance for some unforeseeable problems (like internet disconnects, power outages, system errors, etc.)

But how does VPS work in trading? What does VPS serve for

All three entities — trader’s PC, VPS with EAs and broker’s MT4 server — are connected to the internet. Trader has still a choice to control the VPS and upload new EAs to it and also to control and monitor its trading account with a Forex Broker. Fortunately, none of these actions require a 24/7 uptime from the trader’s PC or connection. EAs installed on VPS are sending orders to the MT4 server 100% autonomously — the actual trading requires a 24/7 uptime and it’s provided by the VPS.

The difference is seen when the VPS is used to host the expert advisors. Now trader rarely needs a connection to the VPS (only when some adjustments to the EAs should be made), while the VPS remains always connected to MT4 server and is sending trading orders directly to it:

I hope that now it will be easier for some traders to understand why it’s recommended to opt for a VPS hosting for their EAs when they can afford it.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the usage of VPS in Forex trading, please, feel free to contact us at sales@ultrahosting.com
