About Web Hosting – Key Terms and Definitions

A Web hosting service enables you to make your website accessible through the Internet. It allows you to display your site on a computer server, which is always connected to the Internet.

A hosting environment posts your web site so you can place your data, files, bulletins and documents on its server. from here, it can be accessed by your visitors through their respective web browsers. Your service provider will also furnish you with an email server to enable you to receive and send emails.

The core components of a hosting environment include a web server, database server, mail server, FTP server, website/page editor, database administration client, email client and FTP client.

Servers are dynamic computers with very large hard drives or a vast array of hard drives. Each server present on the Internet has a unique IP (Internet Protocol) address.

Here are some easy definitions to help you increase your knowledge on the subject:

•Bandwidth:
This is the amount of data that can be sent to or from the server of your Web hosting service provider. It is also referred to as ‘data transfer’ and is measured in bytes. the visitors to your Website request the data in the form of images, texts, video or audio, which is then transferred by the server on which your Website is hosted. many web hosting service providers put a limit to the amount of data transfer. this is termed as ‘monthly data transfer.’

•Disk space:
This is the amount of hard drive space that your web hosting server allocates for your Website. the disk space is used to store files, videos, images, code and databases for your site.

•RAM:
Random Access Memory (RAM) is the amount of memory that the server allows your Website to use. If your site is resource-intensive such as a video-based Website, it will require a larger amount of RAM. On the other hand, if your Website deals only with your personal blog, it won’t require a large amount of RAM.

Web hosting can be of many different varieties and can include dedicated blog hosting, shared hosting, reseller hosting, collocation hosting and VPS hosting. Based on your requirements, you can choose the most suitable Web hosting service provider to display your Website.

Cricket: Central Districts in dark over hosting

New Zealand has been lined up as a possible host of cricket’s first day-night test, but the local association knows nothing about it.

when Zimbabwe tour in January-February, their one test is at Napier’s McLean Park in late January.

The Lord’s-based Marylebone Cricket Club has been in talks with new Zealand Cricket about the idea of it being a day-night five-dayer, subject to tests of a pink ball proving successful. a county game between Kent and Glamorgan is being lined up for a test case, and the MCC, who have been pushing the concept for some time, hope to play a game against Northern Districts at Hamilton’s Seddon Park at the end of next month.

“If that happens and it goes well, and if NZC and the International Cricket Council are all happy, we’re hoping that might be the precursor to new Zealand playing Zimbabwe in a test match under lights at the end of January,” MCC director of cricket John Stephenson said.

But it was a surprise to CD’s chief executive Hugh Henderson yesterday.

“It’s news to me that it’s being contemplated as a night time test here,” he said.

“I’ve had nothing from NZC that indicates it, but ultimately we do what NZC wants in that regard.”

NZC chief executive Justin Vaughan is overseas. Henderson admitted he had a foot in both camps on day-night tests.

“I’m always keen to try and be first to have a crack at something and be innovative,” Henderson said. “But I’m also a bit nervous whether it may detract from what has been successful here in the past, which is test cricket in the day and particularly overlapping a weekend.”

He remains unconvinced that greater numbers will go to watch night test cricket, but he knows it is more appealing to a TV audience.

“Ultimately what it’s coming down to is people are relatively time-poor in the current society. and cricket is no different [from other sports] in looking at ways to best mould their product to suit people’s needs.”

Henderson made the point that watching the last 15 overs in an exciting ODI late at night, knowing there will be a conclusion, is one thing; seeing a couple of batsmen grind out an hour to stumps at the same time simply doesn’t hold the same appeal.

Finishing around 8pm might be a better option. The bottom line? If the pink ball works, McLean Park could have a notable line in the history books.
