What is RAID Hosting in India?
Jun 19th
RAID means Redundant Array of Independent Disks, when initially developed there are only 5 levels of RAID are available and each having different options in features and performance, now up to 10 levels are defined. Some web hosting companies in India claim 100% uptime guarantee but they don’t provide any details about what kind of hardware and software systems are in place for their servers to actually make 100% uptime feasible over a period of time.
RAID Hosting web hosting packages in India are rare to find due to lack of knowledge and technical capability among the small and medium hosting providers. Some companies who provide unlimited web space don’t opt for RAID because they are on a mission to oversell the server’s disk space to the maximum possible extent. RAID servers are needed to be monitored continuously and some web hosts don’t want to increase their costs. RAID Hosting is not economical because it needs continuous monitoring and number of websites per server will be decreased and can’t utilize full hard drive space.
Why RAID Hosting?
- To provide web hosting, RAID is not mandatory and easy to install and maintain on the servers, but if you have ever had a hard drive crash, you know how costly in time and effort it is to restore the data on that hard drive with RAID you can reduce the downtime.
- It ensures maximum uptime and minimize the downtime while recovering and restoring the server
- Using SCSI and IDE Hard disks, chances of failures over prolonged and continued usage is higher and these are the most susceptible devices on a web server when they constantly being used.
- Using RAID will also solve the need of quick access to large data, websites hosted with RAID hosting sites will load faster than other sites
- When multiple times data reading/writing happens on the same hard drive which is common in shared hosting because of hosting multiple domains in the same server, chances of Hard drive failure is very high.
- Almost all the shared hosting providers clearly mention in their TOS about the data loss and they mention it is the customers responsibility when there is a data loss and customer should make sure that they have proper backups at their local systems, by using RAID in shared hosting will minimize the risk of losing the data and recovering faster.

What is a Glue Record?
Apr 14th
When you look for a DNS report for your domain at dnsstuff.com, you sometimes might get errors like Glue Records not found for the name servers listed. you will be confused to see this error, if you do everything perfectly also you will get this error, it is very simple to fix this error.
A glue record is the IP address of a name server mentioned at the domain name registrar. They are required when you wish to set the name servers of a domain name to a hostname under the domain name itself.
If you want to set the name servers of domainname.com to ns1.domainname.com and ns2.domainname.com you would need to also provide the glue records (i.e. the IP addresses) for ns1.domainname.com and ns2.domainname.com.
If you did not provide the glue records for these name servers then your domain name would not work as anyone requiring DNS information for it would get stuck in a loop:
What is the name server for domainname.com? -> ns1.domainname.com
What is the IP address of ns1.domainname.com? -> don’t know, try looking at name server for domainname.com
What is the name server for domainname.com? -> ns1.domainname.com
…and so on.
With the glue record in place the registry will hold the IP address and the loop will not occur:
What is the name server for domainname.com? -> ns1.domainname.com
What is the IP address of ns1.domainname.com? -> [IP Address]
To resolve this simple point your name servers with A records to the IP addresses assigned. i mean full name server like ns1.domainname.com to A record to its respective IP address. when you do this Glue Records not found error will be solved and no 2 times look ups for DNS, your sites will load faster.
