Load balanced hosting service.

In web hosting, load balancing is a technique (usually performed by load balancers) to spread work between multiple servers in order to get optimal resource utilisation and decrease computing time. It is different from fail-over which act as backup server.

Most shared hosting service today doesn’t offer load balancing, mainly due to the cost of offering such service and lack of software to easily managing it.

 There is one exception, PowWeb does offer Load Balance Technology for shared hosting service. Customer can make us of the service seamlessly without additional work. Cost of the hosting service is from $4.77 per month. PowWeb is one of top web hosting.

Manual installation of WordPress

Tips : Choose host that using Cpanel, WordPress installation can be done in just a few clicks.

  1.  
    1. Steps 1 – Download the installation file from http://wordpress.org/download/ by clicking on “Download.zip” or “Download.tar.gz”. This way you will have the latest stable release of the script in your computer.
    2. Steps 2 – Upload it in public_html or www folder of your account. You can do that via ftp with a client like FileZilla or via Control panel. This way, after the installation is completed, the file script will appear once your write something like www.yourdomain.com. Or you can create a subfolder there and upload the file in it. The WordPress installation will be accessible by something like: www.yourdomain.com/subfolder
    3. Steps 3 – Extract the files. Use of your control panel file manager to extract the files.  The other option is to extract the files to your computer and then upload the content to the desired folder via FTP.
    4. Steps 4 – Create a MySQL database and create a user for it. Make sure you add the user to the database access list.
    5. Steps 5 – Rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php and edit it. Fill in your database connection details in the following lines:

      define(‘DB_NAME’, ”); // The name of the database

2MHost – Popular cheap hosting.

Overview
2MHost.com offers low cost web hosting from $1.95/mo, since 2001 2mHost provide best hosting packages for more than 10,000 website.

 

Hosting Plan
2MHost.com offers few plans, from the cheapest, Personal Plus, All Inclusive and Business.  Although they offer $1.95/mo plan, but they would recommend their customer to get at least a Personal Plus or even All Inclusive Plan as the $1.95/mo plan allows very limited resources to the customer.

 The best plan they offer is “All Inclusive” plan. from $5.75/mo. It is inclusive of 10GB space, 1 domain registration and online webbuider.

Support
Strange enough, unlike most other host, 2Mhost.com DOESN’T offer phone support. They offer email and Live chat support but customer must login to client area before he can get any further help.

 Control Panel
2MHost uses CPanel control, which one of the best control panel, it is user friendly and most first time customer can starts using it without much learning curve.
Note : Mailman and shell access has disabled to increase server availability, which is good to all customers.

Conclusion

I would not recommend this host to my visitors because they DO NOT offer phone support. Check out recommended host here.
