We usually sees sales statement like 99%, 99.9% network uptime guarantee, 100% network uptime guarantee showing on host’s website.  What does it mean actually ?

 Network uptime

Network uptime comprises the functioning of all network infrastructure including cabling, switches and routers. Services or software running on your server are not included in the definition of our network. Network downtime exists if your server is unable to transmit and receive data.

Many dedicated servers providers include a SLA (Server Level Agreement) base on network uptime, some offer 100% uptime guarantee. By securing multiple vendors for connectivity and using redundant hardware, providers are able to guarantee higher uptimes; usually between 99-100% uptime if they are a higher quality provider. One aspect of higher quality providers is they are mostly likely multi-homed across multiple quality uplink providers, which in turn, provides significant redundancy in the event one goes down in addition to potentially improved routes to destinations.

Here are some of the large & quality dedicated server providers.

• HostGator

There are quite a few hosting out there that offers high-limit or unlimited amounts of disk and/or other resources, such as bandwidth transfer, email or FTP accounts.  The intention of those web hosting company is to provide ample resources for customer convenience, so that customers needn’t to worry about exceeding limits.

However, users must understand that these resources are limited by physical restraints of technology as well as by reasonable limits of a shared resource environment, especially on shared hosting account.

So, user should know that single account is entitled to utilize the server resources, within reason, up to what is allotted or by what is physically available.

 If resources become scarce, host provider will reserves the right to limit users of the affected machine to a lower limit to preserve the effectiveness of the service for all users. If a particular user is in extreme excess of what the average users of the machine have in use (actually used) of their resource allotments, that customer may be asked to remove content, cut resource usage, or relocate to a dedicated service provider.

This is limitation of those so called unlimited space/bandwidth. Make sure you always read and understand their term of service before you signup.

CPanel hosts comes with a Spam filtering tool call Spamassasin. This tool is suppose to filter spam emails for you but it is usually not useful enough when you have hundreds or even thousands of spam emails everyday.

 My website has been around for 6 years and I am getting slightly over thousand of spam emails everyday, that is  almost 1 spam email every minute !

 I have recently created a GMAIL account and forward all my emails in my mailbox to the gmail account. Thanks to Gmail spam filtering technology, I got only 1 or 2 spam email reach me everyday.

 This is how you can do it :-

i) Login to your hosting account control panel.

ii) Click on email forwarder.

iii) Create a email forwarder for your email account and forward to your gmail account.

iv) Check your emails from Gmail.com and no more spam.

Good luck.
