Sexy Girls in Web Hosting

sexy girls in web hosting

Web hosting Sexy girl overview

When you search the web for web hosting service you would find many company websites are being advertised via a hot girl on their home page, it will with no doubt attract you more to learn about their service. Indeed, hot girls are playing a big role in the business. In this article I'll share with the hottest girls and find out which one is doing the best.

Who has the most sexy girls?

Since more and more hosting websites are being attached with sexy girls, who has the most? Of cource Godaddy is the chairman! Godaddy will replace the sexy girl photo every few months on their home page and godaddy is actually got the burst business from the successful sexy girl compain.

Candice Michelle, who made her debut on World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW® in 2004. But it took Go Daddy's 2005 Super Bowl® commercial–a parody of Janet Jackson's 2004 "wardrobe malfunction"-to catapult her to national fame. Candice, who has since become the reigning queen of Go Daddy TV, was also featured on the April 2006 cover of Playboy magazine.

Sexy girl business idea brought a huge business to godaddy and conquered a bunch of competitors in short time. Here're some of the most famous girl's names on godaddy page:

Is Godaddy Reliable Web Hosting Provider?

Since godaddy has so many sexy and hot girls, is godaddy a reliable and trusted hosting? Personally I have not used their hosting service but only domain registration since they're the largest one. But if you search from the web you won't find too much rating or discussion about their hosting services. Maybe they're too good to blame at. Generally speaking godaddy offers side by side services including windows hosting and linux hosting and their price is affordable to many people. As their domain registration is the largest center in the world, it will with no doubt bring a lot of hosting sign ups every day.

Other Web hosting Company with Sexy girls on page

Of course, every web hosting company has sexy girls in their office but not all would like to put them on official website. Justhost should be another one who has a sexy girl on home page. Not quite sure if the justhost success is brought by that sexy girl but she's remembered by many people.

Other successful hosting companies with sexy girl: www.Bluehost.com, www.Hostmonster.com, www.iPage.com

Is sexy girl advertisement necessary for business?

Since there're good examples of successful sexy girl business, is it necessary for people to follow up? What I can say is, it's only a business ideal which is to attract eye-balls. It would be good idea to get more traffic for website promotion, but it's absolutely not enough to get a customer. You have to offer qualifying services in order to get and keep a customer or else your effort is nothing.

Who has been successful without sexy girl promo?

Sine sexy girl is not necessary for a successful business, who has archived the big success in the industry? Of course there're many. Just take a look from the top 10 hosting companies list, godaddy is not even listed. The industry leader hostgator, bluthost and arvixe etc haven't paid so much attention to this kind of advertisement but they're always rated top for outstanding service and customer support.

What're the old webhost4life team doing?

Are they migrated to new platform along with their business? No, they got into a new hosting business named webweb which is showing in the left pic.

China is a hot place for many global companies and most of them are trying to start business there, since the old webhost4life team is Chinese based, China is the best choice for their new business market with the valuable experience in this industry.

Why They don't continue with US Hosting?

You might ask why not the old webhost4life team open a new business directly in US but transfer to China. Well, there does have some kind of restrictions if they want to continue US business. The most important point is they have contract with EIG not to touch the US market within 3 years. It's important for EIG to keep the old webhost4life business. However, webhost4life team keeps all data center service to power their new business. What more is they actually expanded, they have HongKong data center service while we're writing. Because of this, it's pretty clear they'll go back USA after 3 years and develop new business.

Are old webhost4life team ready to go back US?

Definitely yes, their US data centers are still running to offer outstanding services to Chinese clients and they're preparing the English based systems for future business again in USA.

China Web Hosting Secret Revealed

China Web Hosting Overview

China is one of the largest market on the planet. For it's fast growing economy, more and more companies setup their business in this country. Since E-commerce is the main stream, you always need to setup a product website when you're ready to accept business online. We'll check web hosting business in China and how should you deal with it correctly, because everything is different in China. In order to save your time and reduce potential problems, you should read the following stuff.

What's going on with China Web hosting industry?

China has the most people in the world and hosting business is also the largest one. But as you know, things in China are always working different than many other places in the world. Here I'll point out several reviews about china hosting industry.

Networking – Generally speaking, the Chinese networking is bad comparing to many other countries in the world. Althoug China has the largest number of internet people, their internet business is mainly located in southest and they have very limited bandwidth. In you have ever checked from some chinese hosting provider website, you can find only few disk space and bandwidth offered for their hosting plan and the price is pretty high if you have used to the cheap hosting is USA. That's quite normal in china, they have only few oversea internet connections and only 2 lines carry the most traffic (Located in Shanghai and Guangzhou).

Hosting feature – Most China hosting providers are still windows server 2003 based if you want to deal with windows hosting, but if you like to deal with Linux hosting, they do use the newest one such as lighthttpd and nginx. As for hosting control panel, only few providers be able to offer the industry standard cpanel or plesk, many of them use inhouse developed system which is pretty simple, you don't have too many permissions like from cpanel.

As for the exact hosting offers, it's really a shame comparing to US hosting companies, everything is limited restrictly such as disk space, bandwidth, number of domain hosting and database etc, if you like to purchase extra service, the fee is alway high.

Customer support – Unlike the modern US hosting industry, many of china hosting support are phone & ticket based. 24 x 7 support is not very popular yet. Most of the time you have to bear with zero support at middle night, but since the business is mainly at daytime in china, there wouldn't be too much trouble. But, as a foreigner, your daytime is their night and it will definitely cause problems if you manage the business from different places.

The Bottleneck to Host website in China

The biggest problem to host your website on China hosting server would be the "ICP License" application. It's a forced rule set by their government, if you want to host a website you need to keep a record to their government first or else you can't activate the domain. The process can be as long as one week to one month if it goes correctly. In this process you have to provide all your private data to the government record such as ID card, personal photo, phone number and many more!

Their ICP license policy is already the biggest problem for chinese webmasters and being complained a lot, but nothing changed regardless of the complaint. If you want to host your website on china hosting server, please consult to china hosting company in advance and make sure your website can be online in time.

Certainly there're other problems but most are political related which is beyond our discussion,  Political and sexual materials are not recommended on your website or else your website might be blocked.

Most Famous China Web Hosting Providers

There're two – www.net.cn and www.xinnet.com, the two hosting companies are the leaders in China hosting industry, they're also in the largest hosting companies list on the planet. Of course, you can't expect that many nice features like from US hosting company and their price is pretty high. No problem if you're running a company business, but it's definitely not affordable to personal website.

Best Alternative Choice of China Hosting

Since there're so many problems to host your websit on china hosting server, is there any alternative option available? Sure it is, Hongkong should be the best place, although it's also part of China, it's a complete new society which is the same as US, UK or other western countries. Hongkong is the nearest place to mainland china and if you host your business website there you can avoid all problems mentioned above. If you are going to put your website in China, Hongkong is your perfect choice. Also, many china hosting companies are offering HK datacenter options in order to get more business.

UPDATE: Ixwebhosting now offers china hosting plans with local language support.

What's our opinion to China hosting?

Personally, I would not host my website on China hosting server even there might be better performance. If you dig more about this industry in China you will find more and more chinese webmasters are even seeking for oversea hosting. If China could offer the same level hosting service like from US or UK or other districts then I will consider to. Regardless of the service level, if they can give up the "recording" policy for hosted domain name then I can sonsider it, but things are always going like we expected.


Web Hosting Competition

web hosting competitionWeb hosting has been the largest business on internet. To share the cake, more and more hosting brands are being setup everyday, but only few companies managed to survive among the fierce compeition. Indeed, it's really hard to get customers for new hosting companies since the market is mainly occupied by some large companies who has long history. In this article I'll pick up several hosting companies who has been doing good and review if they're really as good as they advertised.

Who has been doing successful in the competition?

Actually there're several webhosts who have been survival from this competition, here we'll talk about three famous hosting brands and check what they're actually doing to get customers. The three brands are Hostgator, Justhost, Greengeeks.

What hostgator has done to be so successful?

Hostgator – Hostgator may not be so successful if it's managed by another boss from it's start. Generally speaking a hosting founder is always good at side by side tech stuff such as programming, server management, networking etc, but hostgator ceo only wants to sell the extra space on his server in order to pay the hosting fee. This is the origin of hostgator, but shortly their ceo found he has great talent in business marketing and then concentrate on his advantage right away. Hostgator then got into our sight more and more strong.

Does hostgator have other methods to promote their service?

Surely there is. As you know hostgator is currently the largest reseller hosting provider, reseller program is playing a big role in their system. Also, by offerring some attractive gifts to affiliates, hostgator is advertised most everywhere on the internet. Currently, hostgator is the only web hosting provider who allows their affiliates to create independent promo codes from site amdin. The promotion is up to 25% discount!

What justhost has done to archive the big success?

Jushost – Another good example for successful business. Their business started from none to top 10 within just 2 years, I have to say it's a legend, there's not any other hosting company who managed to do so. The justhost success is mainly rely on their team's outstanding SEO technologies and cheap hosting plan, it's only $2.95/mon from the start, it's really hard for people to refuse such great offer. Of course, their valuable experience on dot5hosting site also helped a lot

What greengeeks has done to get such great success?

Greengeeks – Featured for the "green"! Before greengeeks, no other web hosting companies have pay so much attention to the environment but just try to get customers. Greengeeks decides to be different and announced 300% green and actually did it. Their hosting policies have the idea to plant a tree for each customer, everyone would be happy if they can donate to the environment without doing anything special. Their success is a MUST in nowadays bad environment.

Beside the green policy, greengeeks ceo is also active in various hosting forums and help people fix any problem related to their hosting service, as far as I know he is the only person who can talk to clients so much outside their own system. That's why greengeeks is respected brand in such short term.

What a hosting company should do in order to get success?

There're many stuff a company will need to do if they want to archive success, but basically they have done following tasks

1. Website optimizition. This includes both SEO and SEM, in nowadays fierce competition, optimizition is a must to get business

2. Attractive hosting plan. Unless you really have the confident to get lots of business or else you should prepare an affordable and attractive hosting plan in order to get customers from the start. In order to keep your cheap hosting plan reliable, you need to offer reliable hosting services to serve your clients.

3. Outstanding business ideas. Such as greengeeks is featured for "green" and earned their business quickly.

4. Honest and friendly customer support. A good customer support is a must to get and keep clients. The most important thing is you should continue with the good no matter how bad or how good your business is.


Windows vs Linux Hosting

windows vs linux hosting

The war between Windows and Linux

The relationship between windows and linux is more than competition but a war in the OS industry. They both have numorous support and fans communities on the internet, they never stopped the discussion and comparison of their own advantages. Indeed, windows and linux are two of the most popular system on personal computer and hosting servers. Here I would like to share my personal opinions about the two and overview of the impact to actual web hosting industry.

Windows Hosting Advantages

Absolutely, the user friendly GUI is the biggest advantage of windows, you don't have to understand how the system actually works. You only move over your mouse and keyboards then you will be able to complete most of your works from a computer. Amusement is another fantastic and most popular feature with windows, you can play games, watch movie, listen music and do all kinds of graphic related projects.

As about Windows hosting. with it's powerful GUI configurations, you can setup a production server environment in minutes. IIS is the web server for windows hosting and almost all components come from microsoft directly. You always get support from microsoft if you got into any server end problem because you paid for the product.

Windows hosting advantages including:

  • ASP Classic
  • asp.net
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Microsoft Access
  • Visual Basic Development
  • C#
  • Remote Desktop

For many web development softwares/tools, they're more available for windows server such as visual studio, adobe dreamweaver. Lots of linux programs are even developped through windows platform.

How about linux Hosting?

Actually, the life of linux is older than windows and windows is originally producted based on linux system. In this theory, linux can be called the father of windows. For older times linux system, everything is managed under a command line. No GUI, no beatiful colors but just a black screen with all kinds of commands. This should be the biggest barrier to introduce linux to everyone since they're forced to learn some boring commands in order to use the system.

For linux hosting, being the most popular choice currently, powering over half web hosting providers. Why? Simply because of the Linux GPL license and super stable performance. Everybody can get linux for free and customize it by yourself without any legal issue. You can always make yourself linux system and use it for any network purpose. If you're going to use PHP, Ruby, Perl, Python, or CGI scripting, Linux server will deliver with the best performance.

Windows vs Linux Hosting, which is better?

It's hard to say which is better since the both systems have large qualtity users, but linux is definitely more and more popular for it's fast development, linux also launched the GUI interface and make it more friendly to be accepted, you can complete most windows based works there and even more! As for windows, the biggest problem is about the license, you have to pay to microsoft in order to use it and many windows softwares are quite expensive. Due to the license issue, there're many pirated windows media all over the world.

Basically, there's no comparison in web hosting industry for windows and linux, they both have advantages for different technical aspects. Windows is a MUST for ms developers, but linux technologies is always portable to windows. For example the popular language script PHP can be working under windows as well as linux. So if you ask if to use windows or linux really depends your acual requiremtns. Windows+IIS is the best pack and Linux+Apache+Mysql is the most popular pack, if you like IIS web server under linux system then it's definitely not possible.

Best Windows Hosting Provider

There're several popular windows hosting brands that's recognized reliable hosting provider. When you look for a decent windows hosting provider, pricing, hosting features, uptime and customer support are the main options you should pay attention to. From all above aspects, Arvixe is awarded the best windows hosting provider.

Sitecloud Merge to Greengeeks

sitecloud merge to greengeeks

Sitecloud has been rated as the best cloud hosting service provider among the fierce competition. Sitecloud is also our most recommended hosting for cloud hosting technologies. But things are changed dramatically today! Sitecloud is announced to close services and migrate everything to their old system – Greengeeks.

Why sitecloud migration?

The simple reason we got from sitecloud's newsletter is because of "Cloud could not be done as efficiently as we had hoped". Their cpanel based cloud hosting infrastructure is not able to support the larger and larger client sign ups. And because of the lack of technologies they have no better way to manage this system. The final decision from sitecloud is to migrate everything to a platform they are very familiar with – Greengeeks.

How is it Explained in Sitecloud Newsletter?

Here's the newsletter raw content sent by sitecloud CEO – Trey Gardner

"Dear kerry,

This is Trey Gardner, CEO of SiteCloud.com and GreenGeeks.com with important information about SiteCloud.com.

From inception SiteCloud was intended to be a cPanel cloud web hosting provider which would allow larger clients "bursting" capabilities which would be supported by a cloud infrastructure environment. At that time we believed we had a technology expert, who would be able to manage the technical aspects of our Cloud hosting service goals.

Ultimately we learned that once we had started to grow larger that the technical management of our cPanel – Cloud could not be done as efficiently as we had hoped. Last January we moved our hosting services back to a platform we are very familiar with, shared and VPS hosting, and our service standards improved dramatically for everyone.

SiteCloud's support has always been done using GreenGeeks.com staff. GreenGeeks.com was started back in 2007 and we support over 25,000 domains on that service. Since both brands now do the same types of hosting services it no longer makes sense to run each company as individual entities which are supported by the same staff.

Beginning Friday April 8th we will be redirecting all of our SiteCloud visitors over to GreenGeeks. We are migrating all of our customers to the GreenGeeks infrastructure, and no longer taking on new clients under the SiteCloud brand name.

We greatly appreciate your participation in the SiteCloud affiliate program. Moving forward all of your SiteCloud tracking links will continue to work for the remainder of April 2011 and will record sales which are made at GreenGeeks but which first come through your SiteCloud affiliate tracking link.

On May 1st the SiteCloud affiliate tracking links will no longer track sales at GreenGeeks, so if you would like to continue to refer business to us, and we hope that you do, we would like to invite you to become an affiliate of GreenGeeks.com and continue to work with us through the GreenGeeks brand.

I greatly appreciate your working with us and I hope that we may continue to work together through GreenGeeks into the future.

Thank You and have a great rest of the week,

Trey Gardner
CEO – GreenGeeks & SiteCloud"

How do we think about the migration?

There would be two thoughts about the sitecloud migration:

A, it's definitely good choice to serve the existing clients on quality service level. If sitecloud continue with a unstable system but never report the problem anywhere, it must be dangerous to all people and their business. dishonesty will finally destroy their business and sitecloud will be disappeared in short time. So what sitecloud doing is correct for God's safe.

B. Bad news to the industry. Some time ago I found sitecloud removed their shared hosting plan and only VPS server plans available on their website. It's already bad for people who want to try out cloud hosting with an affordable price. Now, sitecloud even dropped all services on this site and move everything to another system, it will surely announce a hot discussion about the cloud computing on various forums.

Is Greengeeks Reliable Web Hosting Provider?

Yes, greengeeks has been doing good, they're the best green hosting company who follow the green rules strictly. We can learn this from their reputance on the internet. Their ceo Trey Gardner is one of the most responsible people who cares about their clients. I think by operating two web hosting brands, greengeeks definitely learned a lot about how to serve people in correct way. Their business will definitely grow better and better.
