What’s The Difference Between Linux Hosting And Microsoft Hosting?

I’m starting a website with 1&1 and their hosting plans have either Linux hosting or Microsoft hosting. Does it matter what OS I’m using or is this how the server runs? What are the differences?

What are the reliable & famous web hosting packages that can be bought for a reasonable prices?

What are the reliable & famous web hosting packages that can be taken for a reasonable prices? Those should be fully secured and uptime 99.99%.

1        I use IX

2        I suggest you also check My Webbie Hosting’s plan. You can have one for only $3.95/month, which already includes 1.5 G disk space, 150 G monthly data transfer, 50 secured and protected website, free domain name, customizable control panel, etc.

Also, they guarantee 24/7 customer support, 1-hour ticket response time, 99.9% uptime, etc. They also have 30-day money back guarantee in case they fail to satisfy you.

3        That depends on whom you are talking to. A lot of the major hosts are almost identical in features, reliability, uptime, support, etc.

Right Now there are three hosts that are pretty close in price, either with a coupon code or discount.
I would recommend Justhost, Fatcow or Bluehost.

Can someone tell me how to start a web hosting service from home?

Hi everyone.

I’m currently running the site http://raginghippie.com

we offer web hosting along with some other services.

Can someone tell me how to start a web hosting service from home? A full-fledged tutorial would be nice.

I’ve done my homework and searched for tutorials and guides on this subject, but all I can find is how to host a website at home, not a web hosting company.

Any answers to this would be highly appreciated.

1        The short answer is that you shouldn’t run web hosting out of your house. Even with significant upgrades to your setup, you likely will lack the infrastructure to adequately provide for any significant amount of website traffic. And if you are having to ask here how to set one up, then you almost certainly will not have the tools to properly maintain and support it.

A better bet is to become a reseller for an existing host, like GoDaddy — http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/wwd_landing.asp. You can make money, handle clients, and offer a lot more than you’d be able to putting it together yourself. And if there’s a technical issue, you have a resource to use instead of being on your own.

If you want something more hands-on, you can rent a server from a place like The Planet -http://www.theplanet.com// — that provides you a server to host on with an admin system like Plesk that is more hands-on as far as setting up accounts and sites, but is pretty simple to use and ensures your hosted sites have proper bandwidth available, site backups, power redundancy and other features a proper web host should have.

2        Even running one site on a typical home internet connection is terrible.

Don’t host any large files, as you likely only have around 512kbit of upload bandwidth available to you. This will equate to a download speed of 64 KB/sec total for all users.

You should look into either a VPS or colocation for hosting multiple sites.
Apache2 with virtual hosts would be the best for this.

3        Most of what you need to know you won’t find tutorials for – it comes from working for a hosting company. This is one of those “if you have to ask, you can’t do it” situations.

For instance, you have to provide 24./7/365 tech support. How many of your family members are going to be part of this endeavor? (You can’t do it yourself. In 6 months you’ll be dead from exhaustion.)
