Web Hosting Automation – What Does It Really Mean?

mp Web Hosting Automation – What Does It Really Mean?

The main objective of the web hosting automation platform is bringing about perfection in the hosting processes. Basically it is the streamlining of the technical elements of the business in order to enable the hosting providers to manage more customers than they otherwise would have. Web hosting automation also enables the larger providers to meet the needs of the existing customer base with uniformity.

Here is an insight on the main elements of web hosting automation:

Managing Customer Relationships

Just like a web hosting platform is made of several layers, there are several layers to the solutions created in order to automate the business with those layers. Specifically, it is addressed by the various automation platforms. The front line of the automation endeavors deals with the customer relationships. This is a concern area for most of the businesses, with web hosting automation. The customer relationships can be taken care off in a better way and thereby businesses perfectly manage the activities that consume a lot of time in order to provide the customer with the best services within a short span of time.

Simplifying The Account-Management Tasks

By automating the simple and common account-management tasks, a significant amount of repetitive and time consuming work can be offloaded through the hosting control panel. Otherwise the web host would have been responsible for monitoring these tasks. The automation tools dealing with this layer automate the back-end business processes and synchronize them with the customer facing solutions for automating the technical tasks like account setup and server provisioning. Setting up a billing process is an example of this. One of the most recent and the most prominent additions in the array of automation tools is the virtualization technology; a software that divides the hardware into small virtual segments.

For instance, a web server can be divided into many virtual servers thereby enabling the hosting company to provide its customers with dedicated-like virtual servers at an economical price. The most evident function of the control panel software is to provide the customers with a better control of the hosting accounts.

Control Panel Functions

Through the control panel, customers can manage various important aspects like:

* Website size and settings
* Bandwidth usage
* Changing and updating the websites
* View the comprehensive access logs
* Set up services like email accounts
* Perform other basic administrative functions

The greatest benefit that the control panel has is towards the web host. This is in the form of a reduction in the support demands and also reduction in many of the administrative tasks performed by the web host. Although traditionally most of the web hosting companies developed the control panels in-house, today the demand for the commercial control panels has increased a lot. Commercial control panels that are used today are far more developed, better supported and they can be perfectly synchronized within the web hosting packages for efficient management of the website.

The control panel often consists of a level of automation platform that incorporates back-end functions that are created as a result of customer activity. An automated hosting infrastructure has the capacity of reducing the provisioning time for the new shared and dedicated hosting accounts.

Automated Billing Functions

The automated billing systems perform functions like:

* Automatically billing the customers
* Generating invoices
* Simplifying the overall billing process

If an automated billing and provisioning system is not in place, it will not be possible for a web hosting company to expand the user base.

Virtualization

Even though virtualization has undoubtedly taken hold, it still remains a new frontier in the web hosting industry. This is a technology that promises to enhance the effectiveness of the web hosting processes by enabling the hosting providers to make optimum utilization of their hosting resources. Through virtualization software, a physical server is divided into ‘virtual’ machines that function as private and independent servers. As a result of this, the web hosting providers can distribute the cost of the hardware and connectivity among the customers without compromising on privacy or performance. By utilizing the virtualized services, the web hosts can provide with simulated dedicated hosting at a lower cost. The virtual private servers were initially designed to bridge the gap between the shared hosting and dedicated hosting environments. This hosting platform eliminated the restrictions present in case of shared hosting by providing the user with administrative functionality by that of a dedicated hosting platform.

While the shared server has the capacity of dividing the server resources effectively, it is not possible for the customers to customize their environments with root access. A virtual private server consists of its own distinct file systems, system resources, disk space, bandwidth and memory allotments. The uniqueness of the virtual private server is that it offers with ‘functional isolation’ that makes it a valuable hosting offering for a wide range of customers thereby enabling them to install their own operating system and the necessary applications.

Web hosting automation was originally created to simplify and streamline the web hosting processes and now it has become a prominent part of the web hosting industry. In the current scenario, it is hard to imagine a credible web hosting business functioning without an automated control panel and the latest technology required for the automation of the back-end business processes like billing and service provisioning. As the technology moves ahead; just like automation, virtualization will be a critical part of the web hosting industry.

Advantages of Mobilizing Your Website for Smartphone’s and Tablet’s

Posted on May 13, 2013 by Glenn Mackay

As a business website owner,  you need to see that the reality of building a successful business is not just promoting your products and services by performing the typical activities, but it’s all about being engaging with the right audience, at the right time and at the right place.

Today, people are able to build more dynamic websites that are powered by the most popular server-side web programming languages like PHP, Ruby, Python, JSP, etc… and using the modern-day client.

Slowly, the age of controlling the computer systems for accessing the Internet is turning down and who knows; in the near future it might go into extinction. Nowadays, it’s the age of Smartphone’s and Tablets, where more and more people are using their smartphone’s and other devices to connect to the Internet and operate several things. Here, you can see how people use their smartphone’s and tablets to access various sources.

The usage of smartphone’s and tablets to access the Internet has become higher, thanks to the inventor of such devices.

whuk goMobi banner1 f improf 1016x300 Advantages of Mobilizing Your Website for Smartphones and Tablets

Above 30% Increase in Website Traffic

Researches’ conducted by various firms in the Industry has shown that around 80% of the people use mobile and tablets to access the Internet from their phones. Therefore, when you mobilize your website for smartphone’s and tablets, you will see an increase of over 30% in your website traffic. This is because the numbers of mobile internet users are regularly increasing more than the computers.

Retaining Mobile / Tablet Visitors

In order to retain the increasing number of audiences to your website, it is necessary for you to mobilize your website. Suppose, if a visitor visited your website from his iPhone and found your website / blog seems to be annoying when accessing it via his/her iPhone. The visitor might not return to your site/blog as there are plenty of alternative websites optimized for iPhone.

In such a case, don’t you think your website should be optimized for mobile devices?

Improve Ranking on Google Search Engine

Mobilizing your website for mobile devices helps you in improving your website rankings in Google search engine.

For example, if a visitor searched for something in Google search engine through his smartphone or tablet, in the search results those websites will be shown first that are well optimized for mobile devices and are ranked higher than those which are not mobile friendly. Blog owners whose income source is Google Adsense won’t want to ignore this, as a fact that the more visitors you achieve from Google search engine, the more chances you have to earn from Adsense.

Generating More Revenue

We all know that, most of the people develops website to earn money. Just think about it, by not mobilizing your website for mobile devices, how much money are you missing?

For example, imagine I use a Google Adsense account to monetize a blog and found that over 40% of my Adsense revenue is generated via the mobile AD unit. So, you can see that how much revenue I could have been missing.

Big Websites are Going Mobile

If you are not pleased with the above reasons, there is still a big sole reason to optimize your website for mobile devices and that’s sites like Facebook.com, BBC.com, Twitter.com, CNN.com, Techcrunch.com, etc… are going mobi to cope the mobile users.

Speeding Up Your WordPress Site and Ensuring Best Load Time – The Easy Way

Posted on April 27, 2013 by Barb

WordPress Formula1 Logo f improf 684x318 Speeding Up Your WordPress Site and Ensuring Best Load Time The Easy WayMany webmasters prefer building their blog over WordPress CMS for a simple fact that it’s simple and does not require any special skills to create a website. Once the backend setup is done, all that’s required is to add content consistently. With time the website starts becoming heavier with content, images, plugins, extensions and what not, of course with a view to enhancing reader experience. Eventually, users start to realize a latency in the page load time hence giving rise to a chain of problems. So, how can one ensure that the site loads fast and easy everytimeit’s accessed by anyone from anywhere ?

Slow loading websites is a pain to everyone. Users tend to exist early from a website/page that takes longer to load when accessed. It’s recommended to check page load time on a regular basis using Google’s PageSpeed Insights Tool. This should help you understand the areas where your website needs improvements with reducing the load time of your WordPress website (though any website can be checked using this tool).

In addition, it is recommended to follow certain practices and use the below tools to enhance loading speeds of your web pages.

Website Cache – Caching Plugin

Use W3 Total Cache, a free plugin for WordPress that ensures fast loading of your webpages. The plugin caches each aspect of your website pages by an optimized progressive rendering. With it you can ensure enhanced user experience by improving your server performance.

Optimizing and Correctly Display Images

“Images Speak Louder Than Words”, hence form one of the crucial segments of any website. But as a matter of fact, image files are heavier than text files. And if you have a WordPress based website that has too many images, you are sure to experience a slow loading time. That’s ofcourse if you aren’t using an image optimization plugin such as WP-Smushlt. It’s free and can be easily installed to your WordPress website. One of the prime benefits of using such a plugin is that it greatly reduces the file size of the website keeping the image quality intact.

Database Optimization

Optimizing your website database is not only crucial for your WordPress based website but for any other website. There are a number of free plugins available for WordPress that does the job quite well, namely : WP-Optimize, WP-DBManger, Revision Control. Using them one can schedule database optimization, reduce spam and optimize the database really well.

With a well optimized database, your rented web hosting server can respond to queries with a minimum delay hence making an overall difference to website speed.

Gzip and compress components

As the name suggests, it’s basically an application that helps with compressing data for your website. It compresses your website data (server-side), before sending it to the user, where the browser then decompresses the data locally before rendering it for users to view.

You may either choose to use a plugin called WordPress Gzip Compression or add the following code to .htaccess file of your WordPress website :

#Begin gzip and deflate

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/css application/x-javascript text/plain text/xml image/x-icon

</IfModule>

With this you can check if the Apache mod_deflate module exists over the server and if so, choose to serve HTML, CSS, Javascript, plain text, and favicon files using gzip compression.

For this to work, it is important that the website is hosted on an Apache web server wherein the mod_deflate module is enabled. Whereas, inorder to enable gzip compression for NGINX, it is important to have the below code included :

server {

gzip on;

gzip_types text/html text/css application/x-javascript text/plain text/xml image/x-icon;

}

Delete the Unwanted Plugins and Extensions from WordPress

If you’ve realized that any of the plugins are no longer useful for your website, it is suggested to better remove/delete them immediately. This is one of the factors that most webmasters overlook, but is one of the important factors governing website load times. So if you don’t want it what’s the point in keeping it, delete it and observe the difference.

Home page Optimization

Unlike any internal pages, you might have observed a maximum traffic to your homepage. Therefore, it is important to have a well-optimized homepage for your WordPress based website. Use the below tweaks to optimize the page load time for your index page :

  • - Display excerpts of the posts instead of the entire article in the first place.
  • - Control the number of posts displayed over the home-page, the-minimum-the-better.
  • - Display image thumbnails instead of full-sized images over the homepage.

Enable “Optimize Website” Feature offered by cPanel

The benefit of having this feature enabled is, it ensures everything is gzipped when it is sent from the server to the client web browser.

Fast Web Hosting Server

Often users would blame the web hosting company for slow loading time of their website, but they needn’t always be the culprits. But yes, your site’s load time does depend on the kind of server it’s hosted upon. Having your website hosted over a high-configuration can greatly reduce the loading time of your website and offer one of the best experiences to your visitors.

Try these tips and tweaks yourself and observe changes in the load time for your website. If you need any help with it, please get in touch with our technical support department and we’ll do it for you at no additional charge.

Is Your Website Ready For The Future? Mobile Websites Are Gearing Up!

Posted on April 19, 2013 by catherine

mobile website1 Is Your Website Ready For The Future? Mobile Websites Are Gearing Up!

As the internet evolves, the trend is shifting towards ensuring maximum convenience to the end users. This is the era where people all over the world have developed a liking towards iPhones, smart phones, tablets and other portable mobile devices for checking out their favorite websites, downloading files, playing games and doing many other things that were once limited to a desktop computer. As the daily schedules get more hectic, time consuming and demanding; checking out the preferred website on a mobile device has become a common phenomenon for people all over the world. Most of the business owners have responded to this trend by creating mobile websites that are user-friendly, accessible and just as efficient as the regular websites. This is the start of the era of mobile phone dominance. In 2013 and in the coming years, mobile phones are all set to create a great revolution; therefore, creating a mobile website will be a smart move for businesses related to every niche as of now.

Consider the use of smart phones all over the world:

Why The Change Is So Important?

As of now, you are comfortable with the website that you have had since a long time and you might be still wondering if you really need to invest in a mobile website right now. Well, here are some convincing reasons for considering the creation of a mobile website seriously:

More And More People Are Going Mobile

Smart phones are no longer limited to high-powered business folks! People have started using smart phones irrespective of age groups and professions. Teenagers also use smart phones quite often. It is a fact that the smart phones have started outselling PC’s and laptops. This straightaway means that you cannot afford to miss the opportunity of tapping into the huge potential of smart phone and tablet phone users.

Many People Consider Searching On The Go

Let’s assume that you own a shop that sells flowers, bouquets and you are also into flower decoration for events. If anyone wants to send a bouquet to someone or if a wedding planner is looking for a vendor for flower decoration; considering the busy schedules, people would certainly prefer finding options through their smart phones as this can be done while travelling, or having coffee or maybe in the short break from work. You need to make sure that your website is available on the mobile searches otherwise you are losing out on a lot of business.

Mobile Websites Are Easier Than Apps

It’s true that people love apps; however, developing an app is a more complicated process as compared to simply creating a mobile website. Also, if you consider developing an app; you will have to create one for Android, Apple, BlackBerry markets as well. Creating a mobile website is a one-time process; once you have set up the mobile website, the potential users can find you through search engines like Google or Yahoo and for accessing the information they will not have to wait for any time consuming download process that has to be done in the case of mobile apps.

Mobile Websites Are Set To Become More Popular

The era of mobile websites has started and it is only going to get enhanced in the coming years. So why shouldn’t you become a part of this great revolution? Old technology will never completely disappear, however it is important to understand the new technology, become a part of it and make it work for your advantage.

 

WHUK mobile website f improf 728x287 Is Your Website Ready For The Future? Mobile Websites Are Gearing Up!

 

Essential Guidelines For Establishing A Mobile Friendly Website:

If you are completely convinced about going mobile, your next step would be approaching a mobile website provider. Consider these important aspects for setting up a great mobile website:

Consider Simplification

Mobile websites are considerably different as compared to the regular websites. If you have very little information and less number of web pages in your website, then you don’t have to worry. In case of the other websites, make sure that you are cutting down on the graphics, text and menus that have an effect on the overall look of the mobile website. Ensure that the website is easy to navigate and all the content is clearly visible on a small screen. Get the mobile website perfectly optimized for the mobile phone users so that they can find what they are looking for right away.

Limit The Scrolling To One Direction

In case of a mobile website, make it simple for the users by making sure that they don’t have to scroll in many directions. It’s annoying for the users when they have to scroll up, down and sideways for searching for the option that they are looking for.

Avoid Pop Ups If Possible

Avoiding pop ups and windows for a mobile website is good as the browsing convenience and overall experience might get hampered because of them.

Easy Navigation

This goes without saying. Make the important links clearly visible on the mobile website and make the navigation easier. The links / buttons should be ‘clickable’ and they should not be placed too close to each other. Also, consider providing the home page button on the connected pages so that the users don’t have to go back if they have navigated into two or more pages.

Restrict The Use Of Images

Everyone knows that images are great for marketing and enticing the users to the website. This is surely true; however, when it comes to the mobile websites, best practice is to use few relevant images along with the logo. The main motive of the user while viewing a mobile page is getting the necessary information rather than admiring the graphics of the page.

Link To The Regular Website

Last but not the least, don’t forget to link to the main website. If a user has checked your mobile website but would like to read the complete information at leisure through a tablet or a desktop, it is important to provide a link to the regular website.

A successful business is one that keeps up with the changing times and trends. A mobile website will pass on a message that you keep the pace with the modern technology. So, good luck with your mobile website!

Realizing that a mobile website is the way to go, WHUK has taken an initiative of providing its customers with a full fledged mobile creation platform. This is a great opportunity where you can create a mobile website in just £3.39 per month and a 30 day money back guarantee is also offered. This is your chance of going mobile and enhancing the business reach with this amazing website creation platform.

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) To Transform The Enterprises

Posted on April 12, 2013 by catherine

Paas Platform as a Service (PaaS) To Transform The Enterprises

 

‘Cloud computing’ has significantly changed the functioning of the business applications. Now, it is possible to deliver a new application within a short span of time. The Platform as a Service is a premium model for running the applications without the hassle of managing the infrastructure of the company. The main reason why the Enterprises look forward to PaaS is because of simplicity, scalability and reliability. In the near future, the enterprises working on cloud based hosting will have the luxury to take many aspects as granted including the ones like seamless deployment, accelerated time to market, true polyglot coding etc.

 

Benefits of Using PaaS:

 

PaaS Benefits f improf 535x308 Platform as a Service (PaaS) To Transform The Enterprises

Here are 6 ways that will transform the enterprise cloud space by 2015:

Mobile apps will adopt enterprise cloud and private PaaS

Two years from now, the traditional applications will no longer be the biggest drivers of cloud adoption; rather it’ll be the mobile applications. As the mobile world is evolving with many people switching to tablets and smart phones, many enterprises will feel the need of establishing mobile apps for a better reach. This might burden the IT leaders who are mandated by managing the cloud. In order to retain the control and for ensuring the smooth functioning of the apps, the IT leaders will synchronize the private PaaS technologies for facilitating the integrated application management of mobile, web and cloud applications.

Enterprise market will see a dominance of private cloud….

Marketers will embrace the concept of cross-cloud hybrid platform along with other aspects like easy multi-datacenter application administration, improved security management and redundancy / failover operation models abstracted from the developers doing the actual work. This is a great vision that is achievable as well. However for many enterprises, the hybrid cloud vision is still some years away, this is why they are looking forward to investing in the private PaaS infrastructure as of now. The fact is that, today’s enterprise cloud adopters see the private cloud and the private PaaS technology as the stepping stones to tomorrow’s hybrid cloud infrastructure.

Small ‘public PaaS’ players dwindle as Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) incorporates PaaS

As a result of commoditization, the Infrastructure-as-a-Service service providers will continue to include the PaaS technology as well. The spectrum of the service will expand, prices will reduce and the small businesses will start working with affordable public cloud solutions. However dealing with the competitive pricing scenarios will be a challenge for the small standalone public PaaS providers. As a result of increased prices, the competitors will either partner with larger cloud service corporations or get absorbed in them.

Pass purchase criteria for 2013 : deploying acceleration; PaaS criteria for 2015 : administrative control, easy extension to big data

In the world of PaaS, 2013 will determine the phase of rapid application development. The result of this will be that the enterprise private PaaS adopters will witness their cloud application deployment cycles reduced in terms of weeks and months. The enterprise cloud adopters will analyze the private PaaS technology not just for the way it accelerates the work flow but also for the kind of impact it has on the bottom line. In the year 2015, the private PaaS technologies will provide with an easier administrative control, support for the development in multiple languages, seamless integration to corporate applications (specially for the big-data databases) and hybrid cloud capabilities.

The development will move apps forward in unimaginable ways

As per the current cloud technology market, the enterprise developers have to choose between the preferred development

language and the language offered by their IaaS / PaaS solution. When the infrastructure services (including public and private) mandate the development environment, the coders have to suffer and they must start going with the flow. In some cases, this might mean learning new languages or recoding the applications. However two years from now, people will look back at these inconveniencies and laugh on them as it is going to be a completely different picture. Developing applications in multiple languages will be simplified and cloud application portability will be implemented. Both, developers and cloud managers will be able to collaborate in order to come up with the most efficient business solutions.

PaaS and the application lifecycle

PaaS can bring about synchronization between the operations and development. This platform provides with a greater opportunity by connecting all the stakeholders present in the application delivery process. This will further result into end users providing with feedback and business owners taking the necessary steps for the requirements. PaaS provides with the perfect platform for covering the complete lifecycle of application development along with speeding up the entire process.

A new dimension to agile development

Tomorrow’s agility will create a strong picture and it will make today’s agility look really slow. The year 2015 will be about dynamic deployment. PaaS will comprise of new and improved capabilities that will result in accelerated growth and better flexibility. The developers will be able to work in a way that is right for them. The coming years will be about more and improvised apps that will be delivered to the market in a short span of time.

728x90 Platform as a Service (PaaS) To Transform The Enterprises

The Future of PaaS

It’s hard to predict! As of now the PaaS looks like a complete solution and potentially, in terms of relevancy, it is no less than the IaaS. PaaS resonates the model of cloud computing and focuses on the reduction of the capital expenditure, IT burden and results in increased agility. All these factors continue to make PaaS an attractive factor for the organizations which are struggling with budget constraints and delivery issues. With the help of PaaS, the organizations will be able to focus on business requirements like getting the core business activities to the market at a faster rate.

This is the time when the enterprises have started taking interest in implementing the PaaS solutions; the main reason behind this is that the application developers want to focus on their core area without dealing with the infrastructure issues. The enterprises that use PaaS often go the private way. In nutshell, PaaS is the most prominent layer of cloud computing and the enterprises that build their cloud adoption around PaaS will stand to benefit in the future.
