		<script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script></div><div class="socialize-in-button-left"><a name="fb_share" type="box_count" share_url="http://hostinformed.com/web-hosting-competitors-fatcow-vs-web-dot-com/" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script></div></div><p>Two of the most reputed companies in the web hosting industry are FatCow and Web.com. The solutions developed by these two companies mainly aim at satisfying the needs of hobbyists, developers and small businesses. One can achieve a high degree of presence on the web using the services provided by both these companies. But the question is that which of the two is better? Read this comparison in detail and you will find the answer.</p>
<p>In case you want to sign up with Web.com, you will have to shell out some extra bucks. All hosting packages available with Web.com are pretty costly no matter what plan you opt for. Developers can find their appropriate hosting packages starting from $11.95 per month whereas for e-commerce hosting the cost is a whooping $59.95 every month. On the other hand, FatCow provides hosting plans that cover a number of services at an affordable cost of just $4.83 per month. FatCow&#8217;s hosting plans have the required potential to support developers and businesses.</p>
<p>The products and services available both FatCow and Web.com are plenty in number. Using FatCow, additional domain names can be acquired for your hosting account and also other services such as email, e-commerce and site upgrades can be made use of. Web.com, on the other hand support both Linux and Windows platforms providing services such as Microsoft Exchange hosting, web design and SEO services. You will be able to make improvements and upgrades in the advertising section of your site by utilizing the extra services provided by these two companies.</p>
<p>If you are a person who craves multiple features, then you might have no problems because both FatCow and Web.com provide feature-rich hosting plans. Web-mail, spam filtering and multiple FTP user accounts are some of the hot features offered by FatCow. Further you also get access to shopping cart programs and Google webmaster tools of your choice. Web.com cannot be written off that easily. Their features like a free site builder, web stat tools and server-side are making its rounds in the market. Its Windows-based packages are the much sought after as they are embedded with some amazing Microsoft designed features such as ASP, ASP.NET, MS SQL and Microsoft Silverlight. Both companies offer its customers with the best available tools and features that are required to taste success in web hosting. Hence when you compare both FatCow and Web.com, there is nothing much to choose from except the cost.</p>
<p>When it comes to customer service, both FatCow and Web.com have excelled in delivering support to their users. You can access the customer support section of these companies using a number of ways including toll-free phone and email. Web.com provides FAQs and helpful resources as additional means of support by which the user can get the solutions to their queries all by themselves. But even then FatCow&#8217;s support services are assumed to be reliable and complete. For example, to find support services you only need to visit the Help Desk. You can find support services ranging from a knowledge base to Video tutorials that directs you in setting things right.</p>
<p>Now that you have gone through the comparison, you know that both FatCow and Web.com are capable of providing you with the best service in the business. The only difference between the two was the cost of their hosting plans. FatCow provides its services at a reasonably lower price. But if you observe closely, you may find that there are more services available with Web.com than with FatCow.</p>

Things like electricity and TV&#8217;s and mobile phones and now the internet. My youngest daughter who is now very inquistitive bombards me with questions that as a dutiful parent I try to explain or try to find out myself. For example have you tried to explain to a six year old how mobile phones work? My usual response has been to say &#8216;Let&#8217;s Google it!&#8217;</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>What Is A Domain Name?</strong></div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Simply put a domain name is the technical term for the &#8216;address&#8217; of a particular website on the internet. For example, in the URL http://www.hostinformed.com, the domain name is hostinformed.com. Futhermore, domain names can be more specific such as http://hostinformed.com/catergory/reviews/ which tells you that in the main domain name of HostInformed.com, there is a sub-folder called catergories and in within that subfolder there is a page called reviews. Most of the time we are just trying to remember the exact main address of a website. Getting the wrong web address is like arriving late for a party and you&#8217;ve forgotten the address. Going to 23 Bennington Lane instead of 23 Rennington Lane or even 32 Bennington Lane will take you to quite different places!</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">You usually register a domain name by registering with a domain name services registrar. The domain name industry is regulated and overseen by regulatory body called ICANN, which is an organization responsible for providing standards and procedures for certifying companies as domain name registrars.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Domain name registration has grown over the years. Network Solutions was the first domain name registrar to ever provide such a service. That was over ten years ago but today there are many accredited registrars such as GoDaddy and Name Cheap. Only a domain name registrar is permitted to access and modify the master database domains that are on InterNIC servers. The fee is determined by the registrar as far as getting a domain name and some registers have special domain name packages.</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>Do You Really Need a Domain Name?</strong></div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">As we hurtle into the 21st Century the resounding answer is yes! But there are two main groups that really really need a domain name. One would be businesses and two would be people who might need one in the future. If nothing else it&#8217;s a good idea to have your own name registered as a domain name. You use a domain name to create an identity on the World Wide Web and domain names can also be used for branding purposes, such as Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc. In picking a domain name, the title shouldnít stray far from what your company is all about. This will allow you to market your web-site as a subsidiary of your business and put your domain name on business cards and advertisements.In recent years a past time called cyber-squatting as arisen where dubious people register other people&#8217;s names (usually famous people) in the hope of one day exhorting lots of money from said person when they want their name back. Oh the horror!</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Once you select a domain name, you must register it with a domain name registrar. This is a task you can do easily. These days many ISPs offer a complete package that includes hosting and the registering of the domain name for you. Fees probably will include a one time set-up fee for all of the backend technical work that needs to be accomplished. Then pay your service provider a monthly, semi-annual or annual fee for Web site hosting services. Many domain registrar services have competent online tools to help you get your domain name and hosting site up and running.</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>What is Web Hosting?</strong></div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Simply put web hosting is the process of storing all the files of your web pages somewhere where then everyone around the web can have access to. A web hosting service provides a service that allows individuals and businesses to post web pages to the internet.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">A web hosting company like JustHost or Hostmonster will offer clients access to a server that will provide the clientsí content to individuals on the World Wide Web after they make a URL or domain name request. To view pages on the web, you must have a web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator to request the web page from the server after you have purchased internet access.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Web sites are pages that are stored on a computer called a server. The server is a part of a network of computers on the internet or World Wide Web that allows users of the internet to reach your site anywhere in the world at anytime. The internet is open 24 hours, seven days a week around the clock.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Host computers are configured so that when your URL or domain name is typed in, the address will use a pointer routine (look for the address from terminal to terminal) until it reaches the computer that hosts your web-site. Then, if all is okay, your web site should display itself on the users screen.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Hosting companies require that you buy your URL or domain name first before you purchase hosting services. Most hosting companies have a package that will allow you to buy the domain name and hosting at the same time.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Some considerations when choosing a webhosting service is obviously cost but also features, do they guarantee up-time? If the host guarantee 99.99% uptime then it means that your host bar a major calamity will be visible to the world 99.99% of the time! Also how much can you store on their servers and also what is the band-width? Think of bandwidth as a passage way taht leads to the room. Normally if you only have a few people walking the passage way then everything is fine. But if the company&#8217;s server bandwidth wasn&#8217;t big enough in the case of a stampede everyone would get stuck in the passageway!</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">The main thing is 1) get informed and 2) Shop around! It&#8217;s amazing how prices for domain hosting and name registrations have dropped in the past couple of year! I hope that goes some way to explaining the difference between Domain Names and Domain Hosting! It&#8217;s been a pleasure writing for you.</div>

Using Windows to build a website is not an easy task. It is very necessary to have a hosting, which offers great functionality because it is the main part in the success of your website. The website developed by the use of Windows means it is compatible with all Windows-based data programs and all these when put together, makes the integration simpler as compared to most other methods. Thus, in order to develop a Windows based website, it is necessary to find a Windows hosting company.</p>
<p>The main advantage of Windows hosting is that it is less complicated. It works on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or 2008. Windows hosting also offers dynamic web pages and applications that are built using .Net framework. Windows hosting providing great compatibility with Microsoft, it is very useful for many types of online business.<br />
The fact of the increasing popularity of Windows hosting is the support that it provides. The compatibility between the components built from IIS till the SQL Server is very superb. A Windows hosting server is compatible with popular Windows programs like SQL and MySQL which can perfectly manage huge databases. ASP is a Programming language which can be used in Windows hosting as it is compatible with MySQL. The combination of ASP and MySQL is good for developing Windows based website because the shopping cart requires being attractive and loaded with large database.<br />
For home based database, many techies use Microsoft Access as the database is comparatively small and does not require much security. Moreover, with the help of Windows web host, this task becomes very simple.</p>
<p>One of the considerable benefits of using Windows server is that it can very well work with Microsoft Front Page which is a powerful web page creator. A person, even without the knowledge of HTML, can create a professional web page or the entire website. The important fact of the Front Page is that after completely designing the page, the Front Page will automatically convert it into HTML. It can then be used anywhere when needed. Windows servers can read the Front Page extensions. So, if you wish to build a website using Front Page, you require Windows server to upload it.<br />
There are many variations coming in the Windows technologies. So, most of the companies can easily upgrade their server software as per the latest upgrades and updates in Windows. This is one of the main features of Windows web hosting. Microsoft is famous for releasing new versions of everything with its name on it. So, you can immediately know about the latest versions of the databases as well as other products with the help of Windows web hosting company.</p>
<p>Thus, Windows hosting provides wide variety of applications that can be beneficial to your website. Moreover, its user friendly interface is suitable for all types of users. The costing of Windows hosting is bit higher in comparison with other hosting, but its features will make you forget about the investment.</p>

We can offer you a platform to assess various VPS hosting plans, services and reliable service providers. VPS is a procedure to partition a physical server into multiple logical independent servers. Each notional server can run its own operating system and manage its own dedicated machine. Explore through us the very best service provider for you business and personal needs.</p>
<h3>VPS Hosting</h3>
<p>It involves portioning the server into multiple independent servers each capable of independently hosting and managing independent operating system. It is somewhere in between a shared hosting service and a dedicated hosting service. It can offer a flexibility of independent management which shared hosting cant. And at the same time provide cost effective hosting solutions to client which dedicated hosting services can&#8217;t as it is a premium hosting platform.<br />
Any updates and bug fixations required on a server will not affect other running servers. This is a prime reason as to why VPS are used as a testing platform.</p>
<h3>Top Reasons to Choose VPS Hosting Services</h3>
<p>- They can provide cheaper hosting plans compared to dedicated hosting services.<br />
- They are more secured than shared hosting services.<br />
- Clients get the flexibility to manage independent servers at low cost and manage applications and independent operating system too.<br />
- As a customer you need not be bothered about the software updates and server maintenance. This will be managed by the hosting services provider in case of a managed vps.<br />
- Virtual servers boot from disk image and have no direct access to the server hardware. This ensures a faster access and enhanced data integrity.</p>
<h3>VPS Hosting – Essentials</h3>
<p>- Certain specialized softwares like anti-virus and firewalls do not run properly on VPS. Therefore a secured VPS should be your first choice. Explore through us the best and secured VPS service providers who can support your business.<br />
- There could be many virtualized instances that could access server resources like disk space and RAM. This could slow down the performance of the physical server. Take a note of RAM size of virtualized server and the number of sites that are operational on a server while selecting a VPS service provider.<br />
- As a customer you should be 100% sure that the service provider&#8217;s helpdesk is available all the time to solve your queries and technical issues that you might face while hosting the production instance.<br />
- VPS hosting plans are much cheaper than dedicated hosting plans. As a client you should not compromise on quality of services – lack of secured hosting environment, server down time and poor customer support are a few parameters to keep in mind.</p>
<p>VPS hosting can provide a good hosting solution for businesses and personal promoters. However what is important is to understand the drawbacks in a VPS hosting plan. If there are many websites on a server with poor configuration, the overall experience could come down and your customers might face tough time accessing your website.</p>

<p>Make sure that you do not choose the web hosting platform just by the commonly known facts related to a particular platform. Select the web hosting platform according to the requirements of your website. Again, check the operating system installed on your home computer, which will help to make a choice of the web hosting platform. Suppose, you have Windows on your computer, then you can opt for UNIX/Linux web hosting services.</p>
<p>If your website uses the functionality of ASP, ASP.Net, MSSQL or any other Microsoft specific applications, then search for the Windows hosting provider, which provides the web hosting service compatible to Windows server platform. But, instead, if your website is using PHP, Perl and MySQL or if written in HTML, then the best option is using UNIX/Linux web hosting.</p>
<p>Let’s discuss the advantages and features of UNIX/Linux web hosting. UNIX/Linux web hosting is one of the most powerful and stable solutions for web hosting services. UNIX and Linux as the operating systems are open source so they are comparatively cheaper than any other platforms. Both being open sources, changing the codes is always very easy. A very large number of queries of web as well as MySQL web servers can be handled simultaneously by UNIX/Linux web hosting. The web hosting services provided on UNIX/Linux are remarkable and productive. The qualitative and trustworthy web server equipments with licensed software and constant monitoring of the technical support and customer care along with the web hosting servers are provided by UNIX/Linux web hosting service provider.</p>
<p>The security provided by UNIX/Linux web hosting is very proper. When it comes to fixing the problems, it is not a big issue with UNIX/Linux hosting. The interface used by UNIX does not allow wastage of system resources. So, unlimited programs can be run maintaining the stability and security. Many hosting companies use free version of UNIX which is a real cost savings to the hosting service providers. Any error or fault found in the speed or security can be corrected in UNIX by using the right skills.</p>
<p>Linux being an open source is easily available and at the same time affordable. The programming languages compatible with Linux are Perl, PHP and Python. The security features provided by Linux are really superior. It is very suitable for a network server setting as compared to other platforms. Moreover, Linux can be hacked easily so, virus, intrusion, worms or any other such problems have no chances to penetrate into this system.</p>
<p>Some of the UNIX/Linux web hosting providers offer the services on LAMP having Linux as the operating system and Apache as the web server, MySQL as the database management system and PHP/Perl as the programming language. This is considered to be one of the most useful solutions in the web hosting area.</p>
<p>Thus, UNIX/Linux web hosting has been proved to be the most stable and less expensive solutions, which can handle large databases and providing considerable percentage of uptime.</p>

You also require a domain name for your site and need a web space for your website on the Internet. This is referred to as web hosting, which provides a service by allotting the space on a server. This allows the users to easily get in contact with you anytime just by accessing your site. However, you should note that all the web hosts are not made equal. The web hosts can differ with respect to storage capacity, customer service, price, providing support for several programming languages, databases and also services of control panels.<br />
PHP is the shorthand for Hyper Pre-Processor. PHP is an open source programming language, which is mainly used for the development and designing of the website. PHP is easy to code, as it is an expansion of C and C++ languages. It is written as a script to return the output as HTML to the browser.</p>
<p>There are many benefits of using PHP language because of its faster and flexible coding. Using PHP as a language, the website development can be dynamic and it will offer faster browsing. You can add several functionalities including multimedia to your website to make it user-friendly and attractive. Moreover, the data processing is initially done at the server location and thereafter, when the user accesses your website, it takes very less time to get loaded. For the execution of the website, it does not rely on any external applications. You can even transform your static website to the dynamic one by the use of PHP language because it is quick, efficient and reliable and also provides the facility to communicate two ways on the internet while using it real time.</p>
<p>PHP hosting is referred to as the hosting that supports PHP language on the server side. Most of the web hosting services support this language, as it is very persistent and convenient web developing language. While selecting a web hosting service, a very important thing to be noted is that the server should support the language, which you are using for developing and designing your website.</p>
<p>A good combination of the programming language and the database is capable of handling a huge traffic arriving to your site while you are applying the site for online purpose or business. PHP language is very user-friendly in providing the facility of shopping services to your website in order to attract the customers. These facilities have features like unlimited database, SSL certificates, shopping cart, mailing functions, all done in real time. PHP is the scripting language which is best compatible with MySQL database. They make the perfect combination. You can get both of them in a single package or select the preferences according to your requirement while choosing the web hosting package. In a complete package, the server checks the compatibility of the versions of PHP as well as MySQL whereas; if you are choosing a customized web hosting package, then you need to pay the amount as per the versions of PHP and MySQL.</p>
