Comment on What Art Most Important Features To Look For In A Web Hosting Service? by Web H

Since you’re having lots of videos and photos, you want LOTS of and I mean LOTS of bandwidth (amount of data transfer). Web space is important too especially with videos taking up a lot of space, but you really need bandwidth to actually let users see the videos. And, you want good uptime, at least 95%. What’s the point of all that space and bandwidth if you can’t use it?
Also, it depends on if you’re planning to do lots of cgi/php/other similar languages scripting. If you do, you may want to find places that have more than one MYSQL database.
But for your purposes, the most important things are 1) bandwidth 2) webspace

The most important feature is reliability at a good price. You don’t want you site to go offline. You want your site to be FAST as well. I also want to be able to host unlimited domains/subdomains and to have unlimited band available. Also I want tons of databases available. All for less than $10. Any more than this is a rip off.
IX are the best for all this.
Btw,
if you are wanting to have videos on your site, the shrewd way to do is to upload them on youtube (where they also get traffic on their own right) and then just embed them into your site so you won’t use any band and you have youtube reliability.
Linux is the most used, you’ll come across tons of scripts that need linux to run.

u can call a function written in some other .js file or u can call a vb function written in .vbs file but nowadays browsers will not allow u to run a script file directly from ur code because of security reasons.

If you want to run the script on your server, you’d simply use ASP.
If you want to run a script on your client’s machine, you’d have to use Active X. It’s a huge security fault to allow a website to run a script on a client’s machine.

As far as I know you can. However you are bound to certain rules from whom you set up your webpage through. You should contact those people via email and ask about how you should go about doing it.

Linux is a variation of UNIX which was the first and is still the best network, multi-user operation system. Linux got it’s name from Linus Torvalds, a programmer who wrote a new kernel based on the UNIX system. It is open source which means it’s free to everyone.
Yes, windows is compatible with the network software of web hosting companies because the language used to communicate over the internet is common to both operating systems. TCP/IP stands for transmission control protocol/internet protocol. It is one of the modules of any operating system, including UNIX,linux, widows and Mac.

linux is an atlernative operating system to Windows. its alot more technical and not as user friendly, but its all open-source, and usually free.
alot(i wouldn’t say most) of servers and web hosting companies use linux to run there servers because its very stable and easy to fix/upgrade.
becuase its a totally different operating system, it doesn’t work with windows(of course, since its a different operating system)
if you want to know more, i would suggest skimming the wikipedia entry on linux:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux

Linux is an operating system, just like Windows is an operating system. They aren’t related in any way.
Fedora Linux is probably the most common one around since it is opensource and can be installed and used for free.

Linux is an operating system like windows… Similar to windows web server linux servers are very famous and prefered now-a-days.
Security is more in linux while comparing with windows… This made it more popular and also it is a free source software… ( Free to distribute and modify ) anyone can modify linux according to their needs….
