		<description><![CDATA[IPreferQualityWebHosting.com is an online repository that answers questions such as &#8220;What Is Web Hosting?&#8221;, &#8220;What Is Shared Web Hosting?&#8221;, &#8220;What Is VPS Web Hosting?&#8221;, &#8220;What Is Dedicated Web Hosting?&#8221;, &#8220;What Is Reseller Web Hosting?&#8221; &#8220;And What Is PHP Web Hosting?&#8221; Admittedly, we here primarily peddle Host Gator because we feel it is the best Web hosting provider in the industry. All our sites operate on its networks, and we believe selecting HostGator as your provide would be in your best interest. Regardless, our primary goal here is to educate newbies to the world of Web hosting. I personally remember the first time I attempted to acquire a website. I figured I’d just buy one and that’d be it. The concepts of domain names and Web hosting were alien to me at the time, and it wasn’t until several years later that I finally understood what they meant. Hopefully, this site will help make the journey make easier for you than it was for me. No related posts.]]></description>

If you do really need dedicated hosting, then the investment will pan out in the long run. If you do not actually require it, however, you will likely end up losing money instead of making money.

		<description><![CDATA[Though PHP is a versatile Web language that permits the quick construction of dynamic content such as shopping carts and RSS feeds, it exposes websites &#8212; especially those in a shared hosting environment &#8212; to an abundance of security risks. Trained hackers know how to exploit PHP loopholes so as to retrieve confidential customer data and shut down competitors. Thus, prepare yourself in advance by recognizing the PHP security risks and updating your code to minimize the likelihood of an intrusion. SQL Injection One of the most prevalent PHP-related security risks is that of the SQL injection. SQL injection is a technique wherein a hacker injects malicious SQL code into a query already embedded into your website. For instance, the hacker might insert SQL into a form field, knowing full well that your website will then submit the field&#8217;s value through a SQL query. Suppose for instance your site asks the user for his e-mail address so that you can look up his information. However, the user happens to be a hacker who wants to find out information regarding all your users. So instead of typing his e-mail address in the box, he types &#8216;y&#8217; = &#8216;y&#8217;. Thus, your original [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To start a website, you need to undertake four primary steps: Web hosting, website design, website development, content creation and Web site maintenance. The latter is an iterative step that will be repeated throughout the lifetime of the web sites. Web Hosting Web hosting refers to a transaction in which you pay a Web hosting provider to rent the space and tools needed to host your web site on the Internet. For instance, if you chose HostGator as your provider, you would pay $15.00 upfront for the website domain name. In addition, you would pay a total hosting fee based on your monthly rate and contract term. Given a 3-year contract at $3.97 per month, your total expenses would amount to $15.00 + $142.92. Website Design After you acquire Web space for your site, you need to either design it yourself or hire a professional Web designer. This process entails preparing a layout, choosing colors, setting up menus and inserting banner ads and other graphics. The goal is to create a visually appealing and interactive design that will suit the needs of your particular audience. And unless you possess artistic skills, you would be better off outsourcing the task to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes and no. I probably just confused the heck out of you, right? Unfortunately, it’s the truth. Let me clarify. A web host operates a data center with professionally maintained computer servers designed to hold websites. So when it comes to acquiring access to quality, fast web hosting, then yes, you would definitely be much better off with a web host. However, web hosts charge you for their services. The key concept there is charge. Nobody wants to pay someone else for a service they themselves can supply, no matter how convenient it may be to do so. The truth is that you can construct your own full-fledged web server right from your own home. So basically, web hosts are designed only to make your life easier by saving you the hassle. One notable difference between investing in your own server and a web host, however, is that the former actually costs far more money upfront. To set up a server, you&#8217;ll need an ultra-powerful computer with a killer processor and lots of RAM, not to mention a cable-grade or higher Internet connection, a top-of-the-line network router and a specialized operating system like Linux or Windows Server. Also keep in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Imagine that you built a beautiful web store using PHP. It looks great, everything works just fine and customers are flooding through the gates every single day. You&#8217;re making money and all is well. Then suddenly, your hosting provider decides to add annoying popup adds to all your website pages. The result? Your customers get annoyed and stop visiting. Welcome to the world of free PHP web hosting. You Get What You Pay For In this world, you get what you pay for. For instance, a few years ago I visited India. As a Marlboro cigarette smoker, I was excited because I had heard that you can buy cigs for as little as $1.50 USD or 72 Rupees in India. So as soon as I landed, I marched to the airport cigarette shop and bought 5 cartons for about 4,000 Rupees, or $83.00. The same purchase would have cost me over $200.00 in the states. I discovered to my horrible dismay, however, that they tasted atrociously bad. It turns out that they weren&#8217;t real Marlboro cigarettes; they were cheap knock-offs. Free PHP Hosting Vs Paid PHP Hosting Likewise, everyday newbie web developers jump onto the &#8216;exciting&#8217; free PHP hosting bandwagon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[PHP hosting typically requires a LAMP architecture. This is short for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. Shared Host Gator servers happen to feature this architecture, as they contain CentOS Linux x86, Apache 2.2.21, MySQL 5.1.52 and PHP 5.2.17 or PHP 5.3.9. Plus, all HostGator plans come with unlimited MySQL databases. LAMP Architecture The LAMP architecture is widely used because of its many advantages. For one, every component within it is open source. This means anybody with a server, regardless of his or her budget, can set it up for free. Plus, the LAMP architecture is easy to use, courtesy of PHP and MySQL, and it&#8217;s easy to deploy, as no compilation is necessary. Unlimited MySQL Databases While useful, the LAMP architecture itself does not guarantee the provider will offer you unlimited MySQL databases. The benefit of the latter include being able to grow your business without limits. It&#8217;s especially useful for those who plan to add additional parked and add-on domains to their site, as it&#8217;ll allow them to support different groups of customers. PHP Hosting You don&#8217;t need PHP web hosting to get unlimited MySQL databases, and vice versa. However, multiple advantages exist as to why you should opt [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The likelihood that your HostGator website will come under attack is relatively low. Nevertheless, prepare yourself in advance by acquainting yourself with the top security issues you may encounter. Hackers Keep your computer malware and virus free, so that they don&#8217;t jump over onto your server. Also, maintain updated versions of all server scripts and programs like shopping carts and forums if you have a VPS or dedicated account. Use the File Manager tool CPanel to check the permissions for all your files. Their permissions should be either 755 or 644, and certainly not 777, which would allow anybody to modify your files and directories. In case you fall victim to hacking, send an e-mail over to security@HostGator.com right away. While you wait for a reply, resist the urge to log in to your account, as the timestamp updates will impede the investigation. Malicious Files If you encounter a &#8220;Reported Attack Site&#8221; warning from Google when you try to access your site from Mozilla Firefox, it means Google suspects your site contains malicious files. You&#8217;ll need to either e-mail Host Gator or manually clean out your site. After that, and only after, you must ask log in to Google Webmaster [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All Host Gator VPS web hosting servers feature extensive security protocols and solutions designed to prevent unauthorized access to your website, as well as the data it contains, e.g., customer details. These measures include firewall protection, PCI compliance, Safe Harbor certification and protection from viruses. Firewall Rules A custom, proprietary firewall protects all VPS servers from hacker intrusion and denial-of-service attacks. The firewall contains thousands of manually created rulesets built to automatically detect and block UDP floods, network attacks and other malicious attempts to infiltrate or harm your site. Furthermore, in case a flood passes through the gates, the VPS server datacenter will automatically enable a network-wide flood protection scheme. PCI Compliance The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or PCI DDS, ensures that all merchant transactions processed through your VPS server remain secure from beginning to end. To remain PCI Compliant, Host Gator must maintain a secure network, protect consumer data, continually reduce vulnerability exposure, limit tough access-control protocols, routinely test their networks and cultivate a stringent company-wide security policy. Safe Harbor Certified The Safe Harbor Certification mandates that any data collected from a European nation must meet the standard set forth by the European Commission&#8217;s Directive on Data [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I assume you&#8217;ve already reviewed Host Gator&#8217;s shared hosting plans and that you just need help picking a specific package. If not, review the link first. Otherwise, tune in below. Security Options Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, permits you to encrypt shopping-cart transactions. Without SSL, you cannot guarantee that a customer&#8217;s name, phone, address and credit card information will remain safe. Both the Hatchling and Baby packages come with free shared SSL, wherein transactions are processed through a HostGator domain. As an example, if your site is CheapDogToys.com, the shared SSL would direct customers who want to checkout to CheapDogToys.HostGator.com. Private SSL, wherein you get to keep your own domain through the process, is available as an add-on for the Baby package, and comes for free with the Business plan. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s not available for the Hatchling package. Domain Names Both the Baby and Business packages permit you an unlimited number of domain names. Thus, given a shared hosting account, you could set up 2, 3, 4, 5 or really as many websites as you would like, so long as they don&#8217;t go over the space and bandwidth limitations for your particular plan. With the Hatchling package, you need to [...]]]></description>
