Finding The Best Managed Server Hosting For Your Online Business

If you have been online for an extended amount of time, then you probably know a thing or two about blogs and websites. You might also know that blogs are hosted on a web server, which is simply a computer that holds your sites files and is connected to the internet. When someone wants to access your site, they simply type the url into the browser address bar.

Lets say you want to start your own blog about stamp collecting but am unsure what you need to get that blog live. Well there are a couple of routes that you can go with depending on what your needs are.

We need to ask a few questions first.

* Is my site going to use a lot of media?
* How many visitors do you think will visit your site in a month?

Its pretty tough to judge site visitors at the get go because this depends a lot on your marketing efforts and the quality of your content on the site. Its important to know how much media your planning on using because if your site uses lots of video and pictures you'll have to get hosting that has a lot of memory and bandwidth per month. The next consideration is whether you need dedicated managed server hosting or non-managed dedicated server hosting. Basically, the only difference is whether you take care of the servers or if the hosting company takes care of the servers.

If you elect to go the non-managed route, then you will need to be a little more tech savvy then your newbie computer person. For those of us that don't have much experience running servers it is best to choose the managed dedicated server hosting. This way if anything goes wrong with the server or there are technical difficulties, they will get taken care of quickly.

Alright, so you know what kind of hosting you need. Now its time to find the best managed dedicated server hosting for the best price. This is not really one of the easiest things to do because there are a lot of choices out there for hosting. A lot of hosting companies give similar packages and comparable rates. However, I have come down to really three hosting companies that have a good reputation for delivering a quality service.

* Bluehost
* Hostgator
* Lunarpages

I personally am using Bluehost right now and have for almost two years now. What I like about Bluehost is that when I have a problem I can call up their customer service department and get support at anytime of the day. Finding a company with excellent customer service is definitely a major selling point especially considering how it is being out sourced to other countries more and more these days. This is not the case with Bluehost or the other two companies.

I highly recommend these three companies if you are looking for the best managed dedicated server hosting on the net right now. For more information on these hosts visit Managed Dedicated Server Hosting

Need suggestions for setting up a corporate wiki server?

I wanted to set up a small corporate wiki server so that the employees of my company can have a place to make informal documentation. I was hoping someone could help me by sharing his expertise. I used Twiki before in a another company but I saw that setting it up is very complex. I was hoping someone could point me towards a simple solution that I could get up and running quickly. I don't need an abundance of features, I just want to have a collaborative documentation server. The server will run either a linux distro or Windows depending on what the easiest solution I find is. If anyone knows of a simple solution I'd really appreciate the help. Keep in mind that I have no idea how to use any scripting languages (I can learn, but I'm shooting for a solution simple enough not to require scripting knowledge)

Thanks!

Generally I recommend Unix or Linux but thats because the needs call for it. People want LARGE POWERFUL servers, on less equipment, stability, security, etc etc.

Of course all of them can do everything but there are pros and cons. Ease of use, quickly running, many people using it at different levels, lack of computer person? I would say that a windows server might do well for you. It would tend to have more menus, most of them accessable to more people than just the admin if you want it, and the menus will tend to put everyone into a "windowsy" environment which will probably feel more at home.
