Dedicated hosting is the most reliable and expensive option in webhosting. In shared web hosting you will be sharing server’s disk space, bandwidth and other system resources with many webmasters. Your 300 GB of hard disk space is just a part of some 5tb or 50tb space available on the servers. The rest of the space is occupied by the websites of others. Your applications shared the memory of the web server along with applications of other webmasters. Of course, the servers have bandwidth limits which your website will be sharing with many other websites. Then why do people buy shared web hosting options? Obvious reason, the costs!!! Dedicated hosting costs about 60$ to 300$ per month with which you can buy a whole years plan of expensive or premium shared hosting.

Then what does this so expensive dedicated hosting include? When they say dedicated hosting then the whole server is reserved for your website. Only your applications use the memory or CPU of the server. Or they are only running on the server. Only you website occupies the hard disk of the server. All the bandwidth of the server is reserved for your website. Obviously this option is very costly. If your website is very large and has lot of multimedia files like videos etc and requires large bandwidth, you have to consider seriously buying these plans. Dedicated hosting is reliable due to redundancy. The response of servers will be fast. You will have wide variety of technologies available to operate or use. Even if one web server is down other web server will point to your website, which is called clustered webhosts. Some of the web hosting companies provides unmetered bandwidth (no measurement of bandwidth usage) and unlimited disk space options. If you are a serious business user then I recommend you to opt for dedicated server option.

There are large number of free web hosting companies, but the number of companies that provide reliable free hosting is low.

Just search for free web hosting and you will get about 22 million search results on Google. The free website hosting is a way to promote own paid hosting. Most of the hosts provide free hosting to attract visitors , impress with their service and convert them to paid hosting. Most of the free hosting packages has severe restrictions on technologies available to use. The disk space and bandwidth are limited. Some provide large space like 5gb but place restriction on multimedia files like video, audio and .exe files. Some free website providers provide database support & some don’t as database applications can cause heavy load on the servers. There are as many as 200 free website hosting providers.

Some of these webhosts offer free website hosting without any banners or popups on your website. An some even allow you to put your own ads like Google ads. But most of the free website hosting is unreliable and paid hosting is always recommended due to their reliability.

But in my experience free web hosts are unreliable. In the long run they run out of resources and some even block your account if you are using lots of resources. Some even require you to pay for some basic needs like for FTP account. Some adds banners to your webpages, some add popups, some require you to post in their forum to keep your hosting alive. I would suggest spend some money and get paid hosting service. Most of them come for cheap like 3$/month….

Many web hosting companies advertise about unlimited bandwidth and unlimited disk space. Is it really possible for these companies who don’t even own their line to be able to provide unlimited bandwidth. Some companies find providing unlimited bandwidth possible as most of the webmasters bandwidth usage is below average hence providing the remaining bandwidth to others who require more (i.e, unlimited bandwidth). If your hosting company provides unlimited hosting bandwidth then first read the unlimited conditions given to provide such service, like your content should not take high CPU usage etc.. Bandwidth is one of the costliest resource. It is not cheap as they show.

Many of these unlimited bandwidth providers restrict video and audio files. These multimedia files consume huge hard disk space and bandwidth. The streaming video also takes heavy load. Unlimited disk space / bandwidth is just a trick to attract customers. I have seen one host saying that unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth only for 6$ /month (condition — if you pay for 10 years of service in advance). Are you stupid to tied up for a single webhost for years without knowing their credibility? Their service might go down hill over the span of 10 years and you have to bear with them for 10 years!!! WTF!!
So choose unlimited webhosting if you know your disk space and bandwidth usage. If you want to have a large site with numerous multimedia files unlimited is not an option because you will eventually run into trouble with them. As long as you know your website bandwidth & diskspace requirements you are safe….

ASP (Active Sever Pages) are the web pages on a ISS (Internet Information Services). ASP is a server-side scripting environment developed by Microsoft that allows embedding of scripting commands in HTML pages to create dynamic web pages. If you want to code or develop a website using ASP technology, you have to get a windows webhosting. ASP also includes jscript and VBScript engines. As the scripts are executed on the server there is no need for browser to support scripts. Optimized asp coding can reduce network traffic. You source code is secure as it cannot be viewed from the browser. There are many more advantages. It can save your time as it takes less time to develop website in asp.

What is html?
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is a computer programming language that is used in website development. Html files are just some simple text files with extension .html or .htm with tags in it. HTML is basic website development language. You can learn basics of html in just an hour of reading and practice. There are other types of html like shtml where there are some serverside scripting lines that are executed before the file is sent to the user. Html is powerful static web programming language or dhtml which combines javascript with html to produce dynamic pages. There are some good WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors that can generate HTML automatically for you. All you need to is drag and drop images or type text as in Microsoft word.

PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a server side scripting language which is most suitable for website development. Php is placed in HTML pages. PHP scripts are executed on the server. PHP supports many databases like MYSQL, Oracle etc.. You can query from db & retrieve data. Almost all free webhosts allow php or provide this service.
PHP files contain html tags and are sent to browser as plain html pages. They might have extension like .php or .php3 or .phtml .
PHP is platform independent.

To practice php on you computer you need to download php parser from http://www.php.net/

Strings in Php

Table of Contents.

• Declaring Strings
• Concatetaning Strings or joining strings
• Splitting Strings
• Length of String
• SubString of a string
• Comparing two strings
• Searching for a sequence of Characters in string
• Replacing characters in a String
• Changing Case (upper to lower etc..) of the string

Declaring Strings

String are variables in which we can store text and manipulate text.
Here is an example of how string is declared in php.

<?php
$txt = "Hello World!";
echo $txt;
?>

Output is

Hello World!

The text string is always enclosed in double quotes (“). There is no need to specify the data type. There are many functions to manipulate strings in php. Only some of the important are discussed here.

Concatenating Strings

In php we concatenate strings using dot (.) .It is the operator for joining two texts.

Example how to concatenate strings.


<?php
$txt1 = "php tutorials";

$txt2 = " best site";
echo $txt1."hello world<br>";
echo "This is to join"." strings<br>";
echo $txt1.$txt2;
?>


Output

php tutorialshello world

This is to join strings
php tutorials best site

Return to Top

Splitting Strings

Function explode is used to split strings in php. It takes two inputs one is with criteria the string must be split and the input string.
Example


<?php
$txt = "Programming is fun";
$pieces = explode(" ",$txt);
echo $pieces[0]."<br>";

?>


Output

Programming
is
fun

How to find Length of String

Function strlen() gives you the Length of string.


<?php
$txt ="Hello";
echo strlen($txt);
?>

Output

5

How to Get Substring of String

The function substr() is used to get the substring of a string in php.
Usage is substr($sourcetext,start,length).
You have to give three arguments to the substr function.
1)$sourcetext — the text from which you want to get the substring

2)start — integer.. the no of character from which you want the string
3)length — how many character you want to pickup (this argument is optional).

Example


<?php
$txt = "Hello World";
$string = substr($txt,7,4);
echo $string;

?>


Output

Worl

Second type of usage.
substr($sourcetext,start-index)
.
If you donot specify the legnth of substring to be selected the function automatically selects the substring starting from the start index to the end of the string.
Example

<?php
$text = "what are you doing";

echo substr($text,6);
?>


Output

re you doing

Return to Top

Comparing two Strings in php

Use function strcmp to compare two strings in php.
Usage strcmp($string1,$string2).
Here we are comparting two texts $string1 and $string2.
The function returns zero if both of them are equal and non zero if both of them are not equal. This function is case sensitive.
 If you are looking for case insensitive comparision you have to use function strcasecmp. The usage is same as that of strcmp function and it returns zero (0) if both strings are equal and non-zero values if they are not.

Return to Top

Search for a string in another string.

We use strpos for searching for one string in another string.
Usage
strpos($sourcestring,$texttobefound)
Here $sourcestring is the string in which we are searching and $textobefound is the text for which we are searching for.
This function returns the postion of the first occurance of the string or text we are searching for. If the text is not found it returns boolean value FALSE.

Example


<?php
$source = "I am an Indian";

?>

Output

2
string is not present
8

Return to Top

Replacing Characters in a String

We use function str_replace to replace a sequence of characters in a string. Usage is
str_replace($search,$replace,$string)

Here $search is the sequence of characters for which we want to replace in the string. $replace is the sequence of characters with which we want to replace the $search. $string is the text in which we want to make the changes.

Example


<?php
echo str_replace("i","x","Aerospace is one of growing industries");
?>


Output is

Aerospace xs one of growxng xndustrxes

Here we are replacing ‘i’ with ‘x’. This replacement is case sensitive. If you are looking for case insensitive function use str_ireplace.

Return to Top

Functions to change Case

The following functions are genreally used to convert strings from one case to other.

All of the below functions returns the string after making appropriate changes. You must rewrite the original string value with the changed one like $stringtoconvert = ucwords($stringtoconvert)

ucwords($stringtoconvert)– Capitalizes first alphabet of every word in the string or text

ucfirst($stringtoconvert)– Capitalizes only first alphabet of string
strtolower($stringtoconvert)– Converts all alphabets to small.
strtoupper($stringtoconvert)– Capitalizes every alphabet in the string.

Php Basics

Table of Contents.

• Syntax
• Echo n Print
• Variables
• Operators

Syntax of php

The php code block starts with <?php and ends with ?>.
In some some servers when shorhand is enables one can start the php code with <? but for compatibility its always recommended
to start a php block of scripts with <?php

<?php
echo "Hello World";
?>

 The php files contains normal html tags like and php code comes in between. Here is an example of php file.

<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
<?php
$title = $_GET["title"];
echo $title;
?>
</body>
</html>

  Each of the php statement ends with a semicolon ; . It indicates the end of an instruction.

Return To Top

Echo and Print

  The two commands “echo” and “print” are used to print or output strings. Both echo and print are used to output
strings but they have some basic differences. It is convinient to out put html codes using ‘print’ since the string is enclosed in single quotes ‘. as shown below

print 'Hello World';

But if you use echo to print html code you need to escape the double quotes since the strings are enclosed by ” or double quotes.

echo "<a href=\"http://www.google.com\">Google</a>";

the same code can be outputted using print as

print '<a href="http://google.com">Google</>';

But if you are calling and printing values of variables you need to use echo which is more convinient.
The following example illustrates how easy it is to print values from variables using echo. You can to concatenate strings in case of print statement using ‘.’

<?php
$title = "Hello. THis is a php text";
echo "Value of  variable title = $title";
print 'Value of  variable title ='.$title;
?php>

Variables in Php

You can store data,strings,numbers and arrays in variables.
You can access these values again and again over all your script and
change the values.
variables in php starts with $ sign.
You declare a varialble like

$variable = values;

There is no need to declare the type of variables in php.
It converts the data according to how it is declared.
The below example describes how variables are declared in php

<?php
$string-a = "how are you?";
$numbers = 80;
?>

Rules for Naming the Variables

• The variable name can only contain alphabets,numbers and
  underscore. It can contain a-z,A-Z,0-9 and _.
• The variable name must start with an alphabet or _
• The variable name cannot contain any spaces and if there
  are two words in string one must use _ to connect them like $my_variable

Return To Top

Operators in Php

Operators in php are used to perform arithmetic and logical operations
on variables.

Here are the operators listed by groups

Arithmetic Operators

Logical Operators

Comparision Operators

Assignment Operators
These operators are used to assing values or change values of a
variable.

What is the most efficient way to save bandwidth?
Outsourcing!!!!

Thing you can outsource
video
audio
documents
pictures

Dude that includes all!!
Nope you cannot outsource web pages (obviously!)

Video
Serving large sized video files like movies or video tutorials can really mess up your bandwidth. If that video tutorial is popular it will consume a lot of bandwidth. Let say you video is of 50MB in size. About 10 visitors download this video every day. Then total bandwidth utilization only for that file is 15000MB/month (50×10x30). OMG! thats a lot.15GB of bandwidth for only one single video file. Just imagine how much bandwidhth you have to buy if a single video file takes 15 gb of bandwidth.

There are large websites like YouTube & megavideo where you can upload your videos and they provide you with code to embed that video in your blog or website. Megavideo also pays you for you video views. I suggest uploading your tutorials to megavideo as they allow video size upto 500mb for a free-registered member while YouTube allows only 100MB & limits the length of video to 10 min. Uploading to these popular video hosts also has other benefits like, free traffic. Many of these popular video sites bring large traffice to your website. Most of the visitors who are visiting youtube finds your video then comes to your homepage for more information (given you have lfet a link to your website there.)

If you don’t want to stream vidoe files you have to upload these huge video files to free file hosting websites. There are really some good free file hosting websites. They have been popular these days. There is a seperate post on free file hosts( the topic is too large to discuss here).

Returrn to top
Audio Files
Most of the time you can upload all audio files to free file hosting websites but there are some services that stream audio for you. Supload is also one of these hosts that provide you embed code to put in your website to play these audio files.

Documents
Can documents occupy large space. Yes and no. Depends on size of the document. IF the document is of 1 mb just keep it in your website. If it is more than 10 mb share in free file hosting websites. There are some good & popular document hosts like SCRIBD where you can upload almost all types of documents and embed them in your website. The visitor doesn’t need to have any special software (expcept ADOBE flash player) to view that document. These document hosting sites are popular so you can get some free traffic from these site to your blog or website. Just don’t forget to leave a link to your website in the documents you have uploaded and your profile in that site.

Picture:-
Yes pictures cost a lot of bandwidth for you. IF you are a template builder or a designer who caters free templates then i highly recommend uploading the pictures you use in templates to either photbucket or imageshack. Don’t upload pictures used in your website to these file hosts. You images are loaded every time a person opens you website so its better to keep in a place where large bandwidth is available (your webhost). But imageshack does allow about 300 megabytes of transfer per hour for each hotlinked file. So you might consider using it.
