Google updates its User Interface

Google is in tight competition with bing (Microsoft) in terms technology and market positioning of its products, recently Google has updated its User Interface which is much similar to bing.com search results pages. Even though this option is available with earlier Google search results page under web options but they make it available now.

I feel Google is just imitated the Bing search results page but somehow i like the way bing results are presented may be due to color combinations or font sizes, it has more web 2.0 look now, who knows Google might make more changes to its interface in near term.

Optimizing Website Load Speed

Recently, Google released the news regarding the inclusion of website speed as one of the parameters for website search engine ranking. This means that websites that load up faster than others have the chance to rank higher than the other websites. Along with unique Meta titles and Meta descriptions, having a faster webpage load time can also help your website land on the top spot, which is supposed to be a good thing. However, according to the official Google blog, there is little to no changes in the ranking after implementing this new parameter.

Optimizing Load Speed

The addition of site speed as a parameter for search engine ranking is good. Unfortunately, not all bloggers and webmasters are aware of site optimization. This situation can lead them missing their site’s search engine ranking completely, which is not a good thing.

However, if you intend to keep your site’s ranking as high as possible without flunking this new parameter here are some things you can do to make your website load faster than the rest.

  • Convert multiple images into big image using CSS Sprites. Using CSS Sprites can help reduce the number of concurrent connections and it will make your site load up faster.
  • Reducing your image size is also a great way to increase your site speed. Huge images take awhile to lead. Smaller images load faster. If you keep your images small enough to see then your site will load faster that having gigantic images.
  • Your site speed can also increase if you sign up with a web hosting company that has a fast server. Web server plays a big role in your site speed. If your dedicated hosting company has, a slow server the tendency is your site will load longer. However, if you signed up with a web hosting company that has a faster web server then your site will load up faster.
  • The cache system can also help your site speed. Cache system is a system that stores data for future use. Retrieving data from the cache is much faster since it is already stored.

Site speed may not affect search engine ranking greatly. However, if you keep your site speed faster than usual more people will come and visit your site, which increases your site’s popularity.

Cheap Web Hosting in India means Poor Hosting?

Some people doesn’t want to hear the word cheap but many of the people look for Cheap Web Hosting packages in India. Cheap doesn’t actually mean Poor service. People often think that if hosting comes cheaper then the quality of the hosting must be of poor quality. Now you may get doubt that how much is actually cheap? there are lot of factors that affect the service of the hosting company. here in this article i will discuss about some myths and facts about cheap web hosting plans offering by Indian companies.

How much is actually Cheap?
Before expecting an answer for this question, first you need to think about what you need?, when you know what is required for you to host your website or application then think about companies provide solutions according to your need. When you come to a conclusion by selecting three or four companies who are providing services as per your need, check their prices, features and technical support or ability to solve your problems until the service period. if you can lock down on two companies finally after the comparison of their services, now think about who is cheap and go for it.

How a company can provide cheap web hosting services

  1. When they adopt new technologies and reduce the TCO
  2. When they believe in going hand to hand with automation and manual process while implementing the systems
  3. When they reduce the profit margin through reducing the spending on extravagant needs
  4. When they are big and if it is volume business

Possible disadvantages when looking for cheap hosting plans

      Adopting new technologies which are in beta stage and not proven will actually cost a lot for the end user if that doesn’t work
      To reduce profit margin by recruiting unskilled professionals for technical support and server management will actually sees the anger of customer
      Where there is volume of business, there is volume of expenses as well, unless a good management takes care of the business, it is hard to manage volume business
      Most of the customers seek personalized attention, if you automate the systems fully, your customers might feel they are ignored
      lastly obviously when it is cheap, the service either be reduced by automating systems or quality will be compromised

What is a Glue Record?

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.

All You Need to Know about Linux Web Hosting

Linux web hosting simply means the web hosting services that are running on a server that is working under a Linux operating system, so you do not need to stay confused over its description any more. Linux web hosting is mainly considered by the online business owners running either small or medium business in nature.

Linux Web Hosting

Linux Web Hosting

The main reason behind the consideration of Linux web hosting is that Linux web hosting costs a lot less as compared to other options such as Windows web hosting for instance. Now the question is that why is it cheaper? An open source software product is what Linux is and this is why it does not carries high licensing fees that other systems have associated with them; you can even download Linux operating system for free and use it without paying anything as ell. While on the other hand, if a web hosting service is offering windows web hosting, it would be expensive since they would be paying for the maintenance fees along with the softwares costs as well.

Linux web hosting carries a few good advantages with it such as being cheaper compared to windows, having support for MySQL databases and PHP scripts, and some of the hosts may also offer telnet accounts at a little or no additional cost as well. In many cases, Linux is said to be the winner when it comes to being secured compared to windows. This is the main reason to why programmers and web designers prefer Linux more. There are also many other customisation options and configurations available with Linux web hosting.

You can also expect a high uptime from a Linux web hosting service because the Linux operating systems are too stable. Another plus point is the Linux support for most of the scripting languages and web file types such as .htm, .html, .php, .pl, .xml, .asp, .shtml, and a few others as well. One thing you should know that a Linux web hosting is not compatible with any of the Microsoft technologies such ASP scripts for instance.

So when it comes to the comparison between Linux web hosting and windows web hosting, Linux web hosting is a lot cheaper but, windows web hosting does support ASP and if you pay some extra fee, then you can enjoy other services as well such as Cold Fusion, SQL server databases, and access databases.
