Dedicated server is eventually the kind of server what everyone or business would like to have, eventually because you own the server resources, entirely. However, we all know that it is expensive and not everyone can afford or worth spending money on it.  Most people uses shared hosting because of it pricing and if you have choosen correctly, it does exactly what a dedicated server can do.

For shared hosting services, the most known issue is reliability.  There is usually more than hundreds of websites hosting on the same server. Mail server, mysql server are sometimes hosting on the same server too.  If it happens that a website has been hacked to send spams email or scripting error, the entire server performance will be affected.

Sometimes, a sudden surge of visitors coming to any of the websites on the same server will slow down yours’ too. Therefore, you have to aware of the possible unplanned downtime.

The second common issue is the technical support. You have to make sure that the host has their own technical staff to offer you instant support when you need it, a online chat support is something a must nowadays. Because the server is shared, there is a higher probability that your website will suffer errors or problems. Therefore, you need a good technical support to help you fix the problem so that your website could be up and running again in the shortest time possible.

The next thing to look out is the service capability.  If the shared hosting doesn’t offer features they have stated, stay away from it.

No matter what hosting company/ plan you ended with, research and study is very important. Always know what you are paying for before sign-up. Try out their online chat support, send them an email and see how fast they response to it. Some study work will end you up with a good hosting company.

Some users wants to shared their multidomain capability of their hosting account with their friends but limit by the “single” login to the Cpanel. Meaning, if the owner doesn’t wants to share the cpanel login to other user/admin. He or she will not able to create email account by themselves.

I have found a solution from web, a PHP script that will automate the email account creation without login into CPanel.

The script should work on most CPanel control panel with some modification to theme. I have tested it on Hostmonster and it works perfectly.

Download the script here, AtomicEmailHM.zip

Read the readme file in the archieve for instruction.

=================================================

Note : the $skin variable in the config.php file.  Check your cpanel url on browser for the correct value IF you are not using hostmonster.

e.g. If your Cpanel control panel looks like

http://www.yourdomain.com:2082/frontend/x3/index.html

the $skin variable should set to

$skin= “x3″;

Question : Is there a shared hosting running memcached ?

Introduction :-

memcached (pronunciation: mem-cache-dee.) is a general-purpose distributed memory caching system that was originally developed by Danga Interactive for LiveJournal, but is now used by many other sites. It is often used to speed up dynamic database-driven websites by caching data and objects in memory to reduce the number of times the database must be read.

Memcached lacks authentication and security features, meaning it should only be used on servers with a firewall set up appropriately. By default, memcached uses the port 11211.

Now back to the question, Is there a shared hosting offer memcached pre-installed ?

There could be shared hosts offering memcached but it doesn’t make sense. If your application utilize memcache, that would probably means that your website is large and create many dynamic pages on the fly, so websites like this usually will not host on shared hosting.  And secondly, memcached lacks of authentication which mean other user on the shared hosting is able to retrieve information from memcached if keys is correct.

You should look for a VPS or dedictaed if you want to utilize memcache – and honestly, that is where it makes more sense. If you legitimately need memcache, then typically you are out of the realm of shared hosting. Typical file caching methods are more then adequate for shared hosting.
