Generally speaking, good design lies at the heart of any successful website. However, neither the best web design layout nor the most reliable framework solution could make up for the glitches of the underlying web hosting service. You may have the best-looking site on the web, but if it suffers from frequent 'hiccups' ('hiccup' is a slang word for 'downtime'), then it will, instead, look 'sick' to your visitors. We've tried to summarize the major responsibilities of a decent web hosting provider. What are the main responsibilities of a host? Good web hosting can be defined in 3 words – uptime, performance and security. They all complement each other and serve as a criterion for defining the reliability of a given host. And you know what? Google thinks the same. Over the last few years, the leading search engine has added uptime,page loading speed and security to its ranking algorithm and uses them to define the reliability of a given website. So, th...

Introduced to our web hosting platform more than a year ago, the Jail Host functionality has brought a new dimension to the concept of site security. By 'jailing' the 'germ' within the limits of a given host, Jail Host prevents it from spreading out to the rest of the account,offering extra protection against intruders who have managed to infiltrate into the system Now the Jail Host option is enabled by default for all newly created hosts to double protect them from intruders. How does the Jail Host option work? The main purpose of Jail Host is to outsmart eventual intruders. Even though security solutions are getting more and more reliable, hackers seem to always be one step ahead of the game. The truth is that no universal painkiller for hack attacks has been invented yet. This is where the extra Jail Host barrier can come in real handy. If an intruder does manage to break into a website, if Jail Host is enabled, they will not be able to move to another host and sprea...

The Facebook Surround 360 system,which made its debut at the F8 developers conference, includes a production-ready camera -- which costs about US$30,000 to build and looks like a flying saucer from a science fiction movie -- and software for controlling the camera and for stitching and rendering what the camera captures. "In designing this camera, we wanted to create a professional-grade end-to-end system that would capture, edit and render high-quality 3D-360 video," said Brian K. Cabral, Facebook's director of engineering. "In doing so," he continued, "we hoped to meaningfully contribute to the 3D-360 camera landscape by creating a system that would enable more VR content producers and artists to start producing 3D-360 video." Is Facebook trying to get into the camera business? Not quite. Open Source 360 "Facebook isn...

Facebook's WhatsApp last week announced it would roll out end-to-end encryption for its users to better protect their privacy, but the move could make the service more attractive to spammers,too. While encryption can safeguard information from data thieves, it also can block data protectors from detecting malicious activity on their networks. "WhatsApp's encryption policy is a win for privacy advocates, but it will not stop the growth of spam on the platform and could make the problem worse," said Simeon Coney, chief strategy officer for AdaptiveMobile. "WhatsApp has always had limited spam control in place," he told TechNewsWorld, "and encryption will make detecting spam and malicious links with malware that much more difficult." Spam Magnet Over the last three to four years, mobile carriers have made it harder for spammers to deliver their junk messages,Coney noted. That's prodded them to look for greener pastures. "We've seen spamme...
