JustHost lack of service
Dear friends, today i have came trough one of the worst experience of my life. The reseller panel we have on justhost it’s more that 24 hours it’s not accessible. All the domains under that reseller cannot access cpanel, webmail and all the services connected to cpanel. Since the beginning of the problem, 24 hours ago, the lame excuse was that they are upgrading to the latest version of CentOS. Anyway we all know that such upgrade is not taking 24 hours and it’s not made during the day time, but when the traffic is lowest (weekend, nights, ecc).
The worst hosting is definetly justhost.com, a hosting service that I am not advice to anyone to use, bad hosting support is also at justhost.com. The answer time is the worst possible at justhost.com
I have read a lot of reviews on the internet about justhost.com but i have 100% feeling that most of them are fakes. I encoured a lot of problems since we are using for some sites justhost and I have my doubts that things are going better for other clients of justhost.
Stay away from justhost, this is my advice. Ah, justhost has no compensation or money back for downtimes, even if they state on their website that offer anytime money back!

Those who want to take the first steps in the knowledge domain hosting web hosting or web site will find the article below useful.
The service of hosting allows individuals and companies to publish their own web sites through WWW (World Wide Web).
Hosting providers are companies that offer their clients a space on their servers, most often located in a data center own while providing high-speed Internet connection.
Major telecommunications companies in UK have datacentere own and rent the space physically data-centers to web hosting companies. In this air-conditioned space and special coneceput servers for hosting, web hosting companies store their servers. They are connected by redundant systems in tension and the Internet. This is called collocation.
The service of web hosting has several uses. Using the site is the hosting and file. They are loaded on the server via FTP (File tarnsfer Ptotocol) or through a web interface. Other applications on the server hosting online radio stations, photo galleries, databases, etc..
Most times, the files are placed on site without being censored in any way. Other hosting providers filter the files that will be loaded on the server.
Often personal sites or sites of presentation of the companies have special requirements, so they need a less expensive hosting plan, while sites like shop, video chat, social networking sites of organizations and companies that profit from them, require expensive hosting with large hosting space and high traffic, often hosted on a single whole server.
A complex website needs a hosting package to support databases and web applications. These platforms enable customers to write or install scripts and programs useful in various applications such as blogs, forums or content management.
For sites that allow online sales, such as virtual stores, it is advisable to use SSL application that increases the level of security for online financial transactions.
Web hosting company offers its clients a management interface to manage such portion of Control Panel and install individual server modules, applications and services as the email.
UK Web Hosting for online shops
More and more products and services are now traded on the Internet and the UK online market profits reached unimaginable only a few years ago.
UK customer trust in virtual trade grew steadily, and this is reflected in growing collections of online shops.
UK traders caught movement and more and more of them are willing to invest in opening online stores. To start a busines of this kind, besides the site itself, you need hosting and online store.
Professional web hosting for ecommerce
First, future shop owner must take into account several criteria that allows choosing the most suitable hosting package. One such criterion is the number of products that will be put on sale. If they are many (thousands) is useful to consult with the hosting company representative to determine the most appropriate hosting together for such a shop.
SSL for online transactions
A successful online store should definitely inspire and professional customers. The Definition of quality not just get given the quality of products, their transport or Return, but by the way online transactions are secured. Card number, personal data, passwords must remain confidential. Ask the company that provides virtual hosting for your store and give you a secure connection. How are you sure this was done? Address online store will be written with https in the beginning.
So for safe transactions on your magzinul virtual purchase of web hosting company SSL certificate. The hosting of your website and it will install this security problem will be, in good part solved.
PayPal, a trusted partner
Another option for securing Internet transactions, for which you need support web hosting company is using a third party carrying out the operation. He will assume responsibility for securing transactions, and all you have to do is to direct transactions to it. One such player is recognized worldwide PayPal. It provides free create an account for online store owner, following that, at each command to charge a fee.
UK Dedicated server or UK VPS
Most times when you want to choose a hosting service for your website you are undecided about the level of resources you need. It is clear that for a small site that does not have many visitors will choose a shared hosting package.
What do you do when you have a site (or more) memory consuming, is more traffic and require more storage space? Obviously, you think of a solution that suits you and you consider one of the following: VPS or dedicated server.
Further, but you can not decide on one or another but in the following we will analyze advantages and disadvantages of the two solutions, VPS and dedicated server and will highlight the differences between them.
First, a Virtual Private Server, VPS is a server with virtual stands on a physical machine on which there are several other virtual servers.
VPS is different from a dedicated server in that it does not have all the proper performance of the server (RAM, storage space, CPU), but divides the total resources of physical serverlui other VPS and from some Webmasters can this be considered a disadvantage. But that advantage is based virtualization environment, there is the possibility that the same physical server to install VPS’s with different OS (Linux, Windows, etc. ..).
As the dedicated, VPS client has root access, but may be limited by the installation of various software provider that may have an exceedingly high CPU consumption and that would affect other VPS operation. Meanwhile, data on the VPS are highly secure virtual server on each side even if there is root access on each of them.
On the other hand, a dedicated server machine is a physical property which is rented entirely to one client and he has the entire performance of the server.
The UK dedicated servers are more efficient (faster, stronger) as Himself physical skills permit.
The major advantage of dedicatelor servers is their absolute control over you and it is the customer is also a difference between the two hosting solutions.
On a dedicated server is at the discretion of the customer to install any software you want (even operating system), without depending on the provider, as long as they are not illegal.
Some hosters offers technical support for both VPS and dedicated to, but in many cases support is counterproductive because the customer cost is responsible for administration.
If we refer to the price generally VPS’s are cheaper, depending on features, but not necessarily the norm to find VPS cheaper than some dedicated. The dedicated but also to consider costs on other licenses for the server (cPanel, the backup software).
If high performance hardware and absolute control is important for you, then dedicated server is the solution you need.
Choose the right web hosting
Web hosting of a site can sometimes be a problem and that on several points of view.
1. Very important to start is to choose a web hosting location have the same country (area) with site visitors. Due to lack of funds or simply not realizing many U.S. buy hosting though their website has only visitors from UK and it is made solely to visitors from UK. The result of such elections is often fatal in relation to competition during loading because the site is a few seconds longer (sometimes even lose connection) than a site that is hosting in UK.
In conclusion an attempt to save by buying hosting from very distant locations of the visitors to our site will cause us casualties and also a number of visitors and displayed much reduced by slow loading and sometimes annoying page sites.
2. Another important thing that must be remembered is the choice we offer web hosting company. Lately appeared more and more “companies” are actually just resseleri (resellers) of parent companies and that often will not offer any technical support nonstop and will not help with too many details in the case of the differential configuration server for your domain. Enquire before choosing a hosting because you can end up with more problems and usually refund from these resseleri no longer do.
Another problem that can occur in these cases is the safety of your data, with opportunity for those who offer hosting to steal database customers to copy the site or to insert banners into sections of the site you.
3. One last thing that should interest you, but being as important as the previous two is the site uptime (time server operating environment in a certain period of time). Check before you pay if the report provided web hosting, servers have a decent uptime not unpleasant surprise by frequent and long periods where your site to be down, something that definitely harmful to the number of visitors and your picture in front of them and in front of customers.

Apache bandwidth limitation
For those who want to limit bandwidth in Apache to customers as a precaution for downloading various files or to avoid depletion of upstream speed mod_bw module can use.
Speed ??limit specified module could apache by extension, per virtual host, per customer and / or whole.
To read more about the way you reference the following URLs:
* http://bwmod.sourceforge.net/
* http://bwmod.sourceforge.net/files/mod_bw-0.7.txt “The .. fine Manual
Default, after compiling the module does not work with 2.x httpd (apache2)
Displays an error as shown below:
httpd: Syntax error on line 59 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_bw.so into server: /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_bw.so:
Undefined symbol “apr_atomic_cas”
To avoid the above error, edit the source mod_bw.c line 61
root@ukserver[~/work/src/mod_bw] # pico +61 mod_bw.c
You delete the following lines:
/* Compatibility for ARP < 1 */
#if (APR_MAJOR_VERSION < 1)

Webmin password reset
If you use Webmin management system and you will see probably forgot how frustrating is that there is a way to password reminder or reset it. Webmin gives us only the possibility but if you are not authenticated login can do nothing, so we can not change the password for the user to use.
A solution still exist using the command line. For this we need the installation directory, configuration directory and user name to which your password reset. If Webmin is installed in “/ usr / local / webmin” and the settings are stored in “/ etc / webmin” we can rewrite the user’s password “admin” as root by running the following command:
[root @ vps ~] # / usr / local / webmin / changepass.pl / etc / webmin admin FVdVBD2 Updated password of Webmin user admin [root @ vps ~] #
After changing the password we can authenticate normally on port 10000. You still need to pay attention to the installation directory location and configuration directory. Installation directory can be sometimes, depending on distribution, “/ usr / libexec / webmin” and the installation directory “/ usr / local / etc / webmin”.
Securing a hosting account trough PHP directives
For increased security on a server that offers PHP environment, it is recommended to run PHP in safemode!
How does the PHP safemode
In safemode php script check if the owner is the same owner run the file that the script wants to access. If this condition is not fulfilled, that script will not work. This set of PHP in the future will disappear, because PHP developers working on other methods of security created, but for now still works and is recommended to use them.
How do I set that to run PHP in safemode?
Administrative panel hosting account allows you to set this up, and not possible to do and a directive to the file. Htacces.
php_admin_flag safe_mode Off
or
php_admin_value safe_mode 0
What sets that PHP is not run in a directory?
And the answer to this question we find all through a directive in the. Htaccess, which create in the directory.
RemoveType .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .php
There are many other ways to secure hosting accounts, but I stop here for now. Perhaps in future I will add other information.
Shared hosting
Type shared web hosting is a service provided on a server specifically created for this. On that server there is a greater number of customers who partejeaza server resources. When we meet the notion of shared hosting automatically have to think like a server there are many users who use services similar to ours.
A very important thing to note is the share price to host small that it offers, most specialized companies offering this service at prices starting from 1 euro / month, and the spaces are in constant growth. If we ask, “Why space is in constant growth?” Not at all difficult to find an appropriate response, namely that prices of computer hardware, which consists normal and hosting server are in constant decline, so that makes gazduitori to provide the same services but improved to attract more new customers. Each company sets its hosting of the beginning some hosting packages we offer some resources and some space, e-mail boxes, databases, traffic, added fields, parked domains, subdomains and many other useful options to customers.
What does hosting space? What are the mailboxes? But databases and traffic? But parked domains, add subdomains?
Hosting space on the hard disk quota is a shared hosting server for a client or a hosting package. Space may vary depending on the package and price the customer pays. Mailboxes or email addresses enable customers to create persoanlizate addresses. For example if someone has hosted the www.exemplu.co.uk it can create and contact@exemplu.co.uk or office@exemplu.co.uk addresses.
Databases are increasingly used in web pages. They basically consist of tables to store information in a web page that is called when the page visitor access certain sections.
Web traffic is data transfer size performed at a time by a Web page. It is important to mention that since 2010 more and more hosting companies offering unlimited traffic.
In a hosting account can also add other areas to work or just as the main or separate from the main work. And here we emphasize park areas allocated on a hosting account displays the exact same content as the main, addon domains (or added) that displays the total content separately from the main and sub displays and other content from another domain But mainly they like extension repsectivul main field.
Along with hosting offerings and technical support is offered for customers who keep their web pages on a server of a company that offers this service. This is certainly an advantage as a low enough price that the customer pays a hosting company, it benefits from technical assistance in terms of solving a problem or a malfunction in the website that has shared server.
Also most shared hosting companies offer a control panel (usually cPanel, Plesk or Webmin) that offers customers a friendly interface and relatively simple enough to add, delete, modify files, mailboxes, passwords, domains, subdomains , ETC. With this control panel, a hosting account can be used even by people who have a somewhat limited knowledge base, thanks to the friendly interface that told a little higher, but the existing tutorials.
And now to put less emphasis on shared server resources. How to divide them? Is there any limit in terms of this? What happens if the server load is too much? Who is affected if there is a hard problem at the server? Where and how is recommended to keep a shared server? What internet connection is recommended for such a server?
Shared server resources are normally fixed for all customers to benefit from them, their limit being given even the packages created and established by the company that own shared web hosting. Naturally, there may be cases in which server to load or because of a site hosted on it excessively consume resources (such as a web page has a script that runs a particular application or send a large number of emails at a time millisecond time). With this load are unfortunately affected all customers on that server. If the server gets to work hard because a client load that causes all the web pages for hard work because the person who causes the load. In these cases, if we have a page that consumes more resources, we can turn to a VPS or dedicated server.
Hard problems at the server, obviously are as dangerous as it is unpredictable. Besides giving headaches sometimes large enough server administrators, they cause major problems and clients. The reason is clear enough, namely if a component from a server share is damaged, suffer all customers on that server is not working as web pages. This problem apparently can look as similar to the load but is more serious because it can involve costs at the server, which obviously supports their hosting company.
Hosting servers must be kept in a data center designed specifically for this, because where there is a very stable internet connection, a constant temperature, constant humidity and specialized personnel to handle them.
When it comes to internet connection from a server hosting, as it normally should be larger and there is possibility of a connection is the better backup.
In conclusion shared hosting brings lower prices, technical assistance, but is limited in terms of resources, but nevertheless are the most common and easiest ways to own a website, due to simplicity, flexibility and accessibility.
