Which Web Hosting Option is Right For You?

There are lots of options for web
hosting out there: free, shared,
dedicated, etc. All these options do
essentially the same thing: host your website so it can be viewed by people on the world wide web. The differences are in costs, benefits, and how each is set up. Here are further explanations for each option:
Free Web Hosting
As the name suggest, this web hosting option is free. This option is ideal for someone who is just getting started in creating and running websites or for someone who wants to create a website
just for friends or family. But if you are at all serious about the success of your website, avoid free web hosting. As you can probably guess, free web hosting lacks many features and most of the time, you will not be able to use your own domain. If you can find a web
hosting provider that allows you to
have your own domain and provides you with important features, it's very likely that there is a catch (low bandwidth or low disk space).

Shared Hosting
Shared hosting is the most common
type of hosting and is probably the best option for you. As you can guess by the name, Shared hosting is when you share your web hosting space with other customers. Shared hosting providers typically offer unlimited bandwidth and disk space, so you never have to worry about your site going down all of a sudden or not being able to expand your website's content. Most shared hosting providers also have a 99.9% uptime guarantee so you don't have to worry about experiencing any length periods of downtime. The downside to having your own server is that even if someone else's site on the same server as yours starts getting a lot
of traffic, it could slow down your site.

Dedicated Hosting
Dedicated hosting is when a single
server is used to host only your
website. This option is primarily
intended for high traffic websites and typically costs over $100 per month.
You would need to have an IT team to manage and maintain the server unless if you opt for the more expensive managed dedicated hosting, where the hosting provider manages and maintains the server for you.
Which is the Best Option For You?
That depends – what kind of site do
you have? Chances are, if you're just starting out, you do not have a high-traffic website and don't need dedicated hosting so we can easily rule out that option. If you have a personal blog or website intended to be seen only by your friends or family, free web hosting is your best bet. If you are starting a website intended to be seen by
everyone, shared hosting is your best option. Once your site starts receiving a lot of traffic and outgrows the shared hosting web space, you can think about switching to dedicated hosting.

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it  can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for  50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...
