What is Windows Hosting
September 6, 2010 by admin
Filed under Windows Server
Windows hosting is referred to web sites that are served through Microsoft Windows NT or 2000 Internet Information Server (IIS). It is an NT-based server that is installed with Microsoft Windows Server Edition such as Windows XP or 2003.It is widely regarded as having powerful end-to-end management, scalability and reliability features, hence its popularity for integrating businesses with the internet.
Windows hosting is the solution that you should go for if you intend to use specific Windows applications such as Active Server Pages (ASP), and if you plan to develop your website with Microsoft FrontPage. Furthermore, if your website will be developed with .NET, MS Index Server or Visual Basic scripts , Windows hosting is the better choice compared to UNIX. In terms of database, MS SQL is compatible for both UNIX and Windows hosting, but MS Access database is served only by Windows hosting.
The advantage of Windows hosting is for users to easily integrate any Microsoft products to websites due to the fact that millions of users are using Windows and use these Microsoft products. With Microsoft’s technology, you will also be able to integrate cross-browser script libraries from Java Script with ASP. Certain features such as ODBC database connectivity and ColdFusion may only be used for Windows hosting and may not by UNIX.
Cost-wise, Windows hosting are known to be expensive to set up due to its proprietary software and the use of Windows servers. However, when using a remote server, Windows hosting becomes very affordable and is very competitive compared to the price of UNIX hosting. Added to the fact that the good performance and the robustness of Microsoft application that this hosting type offers, the minimal extra cost is definitely worth spent.
In general, Windows hosting is the best for integrating your website with Microsoft products. Although it is slightly more expensive than UNIX hosting, the advantage of integrating all powerful Microsoft-proprietary application and scripts into this hosting environment far outweighs the costs incurred.

Configuring Windows 2003 to Run as a Ntp Network Time Server
September 5, 2010 by admin
Filed under Windows Server
Time synchronisation in modern computer networks is essential, all computers need to know the time as many applications, from sending an email to storing information are reliant on the PC knowing when the event took place.
Microsoft Windows Server from 2000 onwards has a time synchronisation utility built into the operating system called Windows Time (w32time.exe) which can be configured to operate as a network time server.
Windows 2003 Server can easily set the system clock to use UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, the World’s time standard) by accessing an Internet source (either: time.windows.com or time.nist.gov). To achieve this, a user merely has to double click the clock on their desktop and adjust the settings in the Internet Time tab.
It must be noted however, that Microsoft and other operating system manufacturers strongly advise that external timing references should be used as Internet sources can’t be authenticated.
To configure the Windows Time service to use an external time source, click Start, Run and type regedit then click OK.
Locate the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeParametersType
In the right pane, right-click Type then click Modify, in edit Value type NTP in the Value data box then click OK.
Locate the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeConfigAnnounceFlags.
In the right pane, right-click AnnounceFlags and click Modify. The ‘AnnounceFlags’ registry entry indicates whether the server is a trusted time reference, 5 indicates a trusted source so in the Edit DWORD Value box, under Value Data, type 5, then click OK.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is an Internet protocol used for the transfer of accurate time, providing time information along so that a precise time can be obtained
To enable the Network Time Protocol; NTPserver, locate and click:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeTimeProvidersNtpServer
In the right pane, right-click Enabled, then click Modify.
In the Edit DWord Value box, type 1 under Value data, then click OK.
Now go back and click on
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeParametersNtpServer
In the right pane, right-click NtpServer, then Modify, in the Edit DWORD Value under Value Data type In the right pane, right-click NtpServer, then Modify, in the Edit DWORD Value under Value Data type the Domain Name System (DNS), each DNS must be unique and you must append 0×1 to the end of each DNS name otherwise changes will not take effect.
Now click Ok.
Locate and click the following
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeTimeProvidersNtpClientSpecialPollInterval
In the right pane, right-click SpecialPollInterval, then click Modify.
In the Edit DWORD Value box, under Value Data, type the number of seconds you want for each poll, ie 900 will poll every 15 minutes, then click OK.
To configure the time correction settings, locate:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32Timeconfig
In the right pane, right-click MaxPosPhaseCorrection, then Modify, in the Edit DWORD Value box, under Base, click Decimal, under Value Data, type a time in seconds such as 3600 (an hour) then click OK.
Now go back and click:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32Timeconfig
In the right pane, right-click MaxNegPhaseCorrection, then Modify.
In the Edit DWORD box under base, click Decimal, under value data type the time in seconds you want to poll such as 3600 (polls in one hour)
Exit Registry Editor
Now, to restart windows time service, click Start, Run (or alternatively use the command prompt facility) and type:
net stop w32time && net start w32time
And that’s it your time server should be now up and running.

Windows or Linux Hosting for Your Internet Business
September 4, 2010 by admin
Filed under Windows Server
Are you looking for hosting services for your Internet business? If you visit any hosting website, you will probably come across a comparison table, offering all the different hosting packages side by side. At a glance, you should be able to see the difference between the various hosting packages, and that will make your buying decision easier.
However, if you are new to web hosting, you may find some of the features unfamiliar, and you are not sure how those features are going to help you building your Internet business. Hopefully, this article will help you.
In general, you will see two different types of servers in the market – Windows based servers, and Linux based servers. These are operating systems, and they differ in terms of performance, features, and pricing.
Since Linux is an open source operating system, you can expect Linux hosting to be more affordable. Features wise, it all depends on the programming language you are familiar with. If you are mainly going to upload static HTML pages, then you can use any type of server you want. But you are going to use PHP as your core language, Linux servers would be a better choice. Modern Windows servers do support PHP, but they are initially built for Windows programming languages only. Therefore, they are more ideal with Windows based programming languages such as classic ASP or ASP.NET. Dot Net is Microsoft’s latest framework, and developers are warming up quickly to this powerful framework.
Many popular online software such as forum software, blogs, and content management systems are available for free on the Internet. Linux servers even come with the popular Cpanel control panel, which allows you to install numerous applications for free without any technical knowledge. For instance, if you want to set up a WordPress blog, you can easily install WordPress on your server with just a few simple clicks.
Many Internet business owners prefer Linux hosting because of Cpanel. It allows them to install additional software easily, at no extra cost. Hence, they save on software development costs.
Windows servers also have a rather popular control panel known as HELM. Using the control panel, you can add new websites, manage domains, add POP email accounts, subdomains, etc. You can do all that without having to email your hosting company. You can even install your own databases from the control panel.
Linux servers usually offer support for MySQL database, while Windows servers may offer support for Access Databases, MySQL databases, and MSSQL databases.
One frequently seen question in hosting forums is, “Which is a more reliable operating system as a server?” The best answer to that question is that both are reliable servers, but the reliability of the servers depend on the experience of the server administrators. Under the skillful hands of highly experienced server administrators, both types of servers can be very stable and reliable.
So don’t just choose based on the operating system. Remember to learn more about the people behind the hosting services as well.

What is LDAP server?
Directory service (LDAP server) is a software system that stores, organizes and provides access to information in a directory; a shared information infrastructure for locating, managing, administering, and organizing common items and network resources, which can include volumes, folders, files, printers, users, groups, devices, telephone numbers and other objects. To access directories servers and clients interact in the model of client/server communication. The process of directory access happens in the following way: a directory client calls API (application programming interface) to access a directory for reading or writing the information. The client call accesses the information in the directory on behalf of the requesting client via TCP/IP (the default LDAP TCP/IP ports – 636 for secure communications, 389 for unencrypted communications). The results of the action are returned to the client then. Servers provide a specific service to LDAP clients. Sometimes directory servers may become the clients of other servers to collect the necessary information for request processing.
LDAP server performs the following basic operations:
Search entries;
Compare entries;
Add entries;
Delete entries;
Modify entries;
Move entries;
Rename entries;
Extended operation;
Authentication.
According to X.500 standard, servers can be connected into a hierarchical structure. That is why users can proceed from one server to another while searching the necessary information. Web interface is widely used for server administration including remote administration.
Directory services can be used for:
Locating and providing information about people (address books, yellow pages, white pages) and distributed resources like printers;
User authentication and authorization for Web servers or other LDAP-enabled applications;
Policies that are shared by multiple applications or application instances.
Directory server main components are:
A front-end (handles LDAP client operations coming into the server over TCP/IP connection);
A database back-end (handles stores and retrieves directory objects from relational database).
Some researchers and professionals highlight the best LDAP servers from the number of open source and commercial ones:
Open source LDAP servers include:
Red Hat Directory Server/Fedora Directory Server. Red Hat Directory Server was initially bought from Netscape Security Solutions as a commercial product for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Nowadays it is produced by Red Hat with name Red Hat Directory Server. Following its policy Red Hat produced version for Fedora Core also. It is called Fedora Directory Server that is perfect for distributives on the basis of RedHat. Codes of these servers coincide greatly because of the common root. Unlike OpenLDAP Fedora/Red Hat directory servers have good documentation.
OpenLDAP. OpenLDAP is the further development of the original slapd. It is widely distributed and used on many platforms like Linux, FreeBSD, Windows and MacOS X. Documentation containing on the website is quite obsolete, but there are many useful step-by-step instructions. OpenLDAP is time-tested. Its functionality is practically identical to RedHat directory server.
Commercial LDAP Servers are:
Novell eDirectory. All products are free for higher educational establishments. It works with the help of the following operational systems: Novell Netware, Windows (NT), Linux (SUSE Enterprise, or RedHat), Solaris, AIX, HP-UX. You have everything in one product – all the necessary programs are given at once. Installation and customization are easy. Advantages – exclusive documentation and affordable price, technical support for registered users and cross-platform function. Disadvantage – closed source files.
Microsoft Active Directory. It is a part of Windows Server family. It’s a perfect solution for MS networks. Advantages – perfect integration into the system, highly qualified documentation.
Sun Java System Directory Server. Sun merged with IPlanet Company and created its new product – Sun ONE, renamed afterwards to Sun Java System Directory Server. It is not a standalone product, but just a part of Java Enterprise System. System requirements: Solaris 10, Solaris 9, Solaris 8 (only for SPARC), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 and 3.1, HP-UX 11i, Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, 2003. You can not buy it apart from Java Enterprise System. But if you decide to use complex solution from Sun, you won’t have any problems. Sun engineers will help you to install and configure it according to your requirements.
IBM Tivoli Directory Server. LDAP-solution from IBM. It is supported by the following operational systems: AIX, Solaris, Microsoft Windows 2000, HP-UX, and also Linux for Intel and IBM eServer iSeries, pSeries and zSeries. Advantage – qualified, open and free for all documentation.
LDAP servers cannot access directories without LDAP clients. Some of them are presented below:
Microsoft Windows:
Softerra LDAP Administrator/LDAP Browser;
LDAPSoft LDAP Browser/LDAP Admin Tool;
LDAPAdmin;
MaXware Directory Explorer;
Active Directory Explorer
Linux/UNIX
Evolution;
KAddressBook;
LDAPSoft LDAP Browser/Administrator.
Mac OS X
Address Book;
Directory Access;
Workgroup Manager.
Cross-platform:
Apache Directory Studio;
Ekiga (formerly GnomeMeeting);
Mozilla Thunderbird;
Novell Evolution;
phpLDAPadmin.
Storing data in a directory and sharing it amongst applications saves you time and money by keeping administration effort and system resources down.
Article is prepared by Helen Romanenko. LDAP Administrator is industry-leading software to browse and manage LDAP directories.

Linux and Windows Web Hosting Comparison
September 2, 2010 by admin
Filed under Windows Server
When choosing a website hosting solution the first thing you should consider is the proper operating system for your system. The major hosting operating systems include Linux and Microsoft Windows. There are also unpopular solutions possible through Unix and Macintosh but you will often find less support for these platforms.
This article will focus on the popular solutions of Windows and Linux. Based on a given requirement each operating system serves their unique purpose. Comparisons below are made about important aspects of each operating system.
Security
Security is one of the most important areas within the industry. It is a common misunderstanding that windows servers contain more vulnerabilities than Linux servers. Security risks are often the fault of the administration rather than the operating system. Ensuring that your software updates and security patches as well as other tasks are always up to date is just part of a good security administrator?s job. As software evolves there will always be new security risks and this will not change. For security, look at your server management team rather than the operating system.
Access
The most common type of server access is FTP and both platforms allow this type of access. Both operating systems allow standard to advanced control panels. The major difference here is that Linux is able to support SSH and telnet access. Windows has the ability to support telnet however it is neither standard nor common.
File Types
Windows and Linux both support standard HTML, Cold Fusion and JavaScript files. At one point it wasn?t possible to use FrontPage extensions on a Linux server but it is now possible for Linux based servers to run FrontPage file types. Perl and CGI platforms are often supported by Linux rather than windows. If you need to use either of these file types on windows be sure that the software is specifically supported. PHP is commonly supported under Linux while ASP is commonly supported by Windows.
Databases
This is often where platforms can make a difference. Access databases are only supported by Windows where MySQL databases are more commonly found on Linux servers but are still supported by Windows servers. Many users maintaining their databases through access will want to run a windows server and vise versa.
There was a time where operating systems made a big difference. Currently, most platforms are supported on both Linux and Windows. Just be sure when shopping for a server that you have everything you need to fully develop your project.

Windows Time Server: Synchronising Your Network With Ntp
September 1, 2010 by admin
Filed under Windows Server
Nearly all a computers activity involves time whether logging a timestamp for when a network was accessed to sending an email, knowing the time is crucial for computer applications.
All computers have an on-board clock that provides time and date information. These Real Time Clock (RTC) chips are battery backed so that even when off they can maintain time, however these RTC chips are mass produced and cannot maintain accurate time and tend to drift.
For many applications this can be quite adequate, however if a computer is on a network and needs to talk to other machines, failing to be synchonised to the correct time can mean many time-sensitive transactions can not be completed and can even leave the network open to security threats.
All versions of Windows Server since 2000 have included a time synchronization facility, called Windows Time Service (w32time.exe), built into the operating system. This can be configured to operate as a network time server synchronizing all machines to a specific time source.
Windows Time Service uses a version of NTP (Network Time Protocol), normally a simplified version, of the Internet protocol which is designed to synchronise machines on a network, NTP is also the standard for which most computer networks across the global use to synchronise with.
Choosing the correct time source is vitally important. Most networks are synchronized to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) source. UTC is a global standardized time based on atomic clocks which are the most accurate time sources.
UTC can be obtained over the Internet from such places as time.nist.gov (us Naval Observatory) or time.windows.com (Microsoft) but it must be noted that internet time sources can not be authenticated which can leave a system open to abuse and Microsoft and others advise using an external hardware source as a reference clock such as a specialized NTP server.
NTP servers receive their time source from either a specialist radio transmission from national physics laboratories which broadcast UTC time taken from an atomic clock source or by the GPS network which also relays UTC as a consequence of needing it to pin point locations.
NTP can maintain time over the public Internet to within 1/100th of a second (10 milliseconds) and can perform even better over LANs.
To configure Windows Time Service to use an external time source simply follow these instructions.
Locate the registry subkey.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeParameters
Right click type then Modify the Value by inserting NTP in the Value Data box.
Right click ReliableTimeSource, then Modify the Edit DWORD Value box, by inserting 0 (zero).
Right-click NtpServer then Modify the Edit Value by typing the Domain Name System (DNS), (note each DNS must be unique).
Now locate the original subkey and right-click Period Modify the Edit DWORD Value box with the poll interval (how often a NTP server polls the time), under Value Data (recommended 24)
Run the following command line, Net stop w32time && net start w32time.
Now enable NTP by locating the subkey, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeTimeProvidersNtpServer
Right click Enabled and modify the Value data box by typing 1.
Right Click SpecialPollInterval in the right pain of the subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeTimeProvidersNtpClientSpecialPollInterval. Edit the DWORD value box the time you want for each poll (900 will poll every 15 minutes)
Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32Timeconfig
To configure the time correction settings right click MaxPosPhaseCorrection, then modify the DWORD Value box with a time in seconds such (select decimal under base first, 3600 = one hour)
Now do the same for MaxNegPhaseCorrection the restart windows time service by running (or alternatively use the command prompt facility) net stop w32time && net start w32time.
To synchronise each machine simply type W32tm/ -s in the command prompt and the time server should now be working correctly (note it may take several polls before the correct time is displayed).

Linux Web Hosting Vs Windows Web Hosting
August 31, 2010 by admin
Filed under Windows Server
When you are ready to search for a host for your web business online, there is a big dilemma that you need to seize by the horns: Linux or Windows?
In this context, it is easy to fall into the popular debate of which platform is better. Linux votaries may have a hundred brickbats to throw at Windows, and vice versa. Debates apart, what system is best for YOU? Many people take a decision depending on whatever platform is installed on their personal PC. This is rather short sighted. In short, there really is no need to take sides. Rather, the basic criterion for your selection should be based on what platform helps you the most. Real requirements of your site must be considered.
Windows web hosting: If your website uses any components or technologies that are Windows compatible, then it is advisable to go for Windows hosting plans. That way, you can easily run ASP, ASP.Net, MS Sql and other Windows scripting applications. Of course, these days it is possible to get Windows applications that are compatible with Linux server, but, to garner the full power of Windows, it is recommended that you go for a Windows based platform. If you are using additional services like Microsoft’s Sharepoint or MS Access, Windows platform is the only choice.
Linux web hosting: Linux servers are known to possess remarkable power and stability. If you use platform independent languages like PHP and MySql, you are better off with a Linux server. These servers are able to take the load of several simultaneous queries provided they are administered properly. Linux based databases like MySql and PostgreSql are relational databases. They are inexpensive and very efficient. Unless your server experiences very heavy load, these databases perform exceptionally well.
Linux servers have a reputation for dependability. This is because they often maintain a very high uptime of 99.9%. This is also one of the reasons for the compelling attraction of Linux website hosting servers.
Linux and its supporting technologies are open source technologies. Because of this, these are not expensive. On the other hand, Windows is developed by Microsoft at very high operative costs and Microsoft makes it mandatory to obtain their license before you can use the Windows server. This is why Windows systems are so expensive, while Linux is comparatively cheap. Additionally, Linux offers the greatest of ease when it comes to switching over to Windows system. Linux is also open to easy upgrades and can easily accommodate the changing requirements of the user.
To sum it up, Windows hosting plans are generally 20% costlier than Linux plans. So, if you do not need some unique features for your website like a searchable database or a chat facility, then Linux hosting servers perform beautifully and flawlessly. In the end, it all depends on what YOU want, not on the merits and demerits of the server.

How to Configure a Windows Time Server
August 30, 2010 by admin
Filed under Windows Server
The latest Microsoft Windows operating systems have a time synchronisation utility installed by default called ‘Windows Time’. The Windows time service allows a Microsoft network to provide time synchronisation of machines in a domain. This article introduces how to configure the Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003 operating systems to operate as a SNTPNTP Time Server. The article discusses how to change Windows registry entries to configure the Time Service.
Before modifying any Windows registry settings, it is a good idea to save the registry. In the even of any difficulties, the registry can be restored to its former state.
Windows 2000 Time Service
Windows 2000 has an integrated network time synchronization service, installed by default, which can be configured to synchronize to a Time Server. In fact, by changing associated registry settings, the service can act as both a time client and a time server to synchronize other network time clients.
The Windows Time service should be present in the systems service list. The application executable is ‘w32time.exe’. The parameter list for time service should be present in the in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeParameters
The Windows 2000 operating system can operate as a time client and synchronise to a time server by setting the parameter ‘NTP Server’ to the IP address of a Time Server.
By default, the Windows 2000 machine will synchronize to the specified time server every 8 hours, or 3 times a day. This may not be enough to maintain accurate synchronization and can be easily increased. Setting the ‘Period’ parameter to how many times each day synchronisation is required can reduce the period. Setting the ‘Period’ parameter to 48 will activate synchronization with the time server once every half hour.
The Windows 2000 operating system can also be configured to act as a time server by setting the ‘Local NTP’ registry setting to ’1′.
After changing any of the registry settings for the windows time service, the service must be restarted for the settings to take effect. The time service can be started or stopped from the service control applet in the Administrative Tools menu. The service can also be controlled via the DOS net command thus:
‘net start w32time’ and ‘net stop w32time’
Windows 2003 Time Service
With Windows 2003, Microsoft has expanded on the original Windows 2000 SNTP time service by providing a true NTP implementation. The Windows 2003 time service, installed by default, can synchronise to a NTP Server. Indeed, by changing registry settings, the time service can act as both a time server and client to synchronize other time clients in the domain.
The ‘Windows Time’ service should be present in the systems service list. The application executable is ‘w32time.exe’. The parameter list for the Windows 2003 time service should be present in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32Time
To configure the Windows 2003 operating system to synchronize to an external time server, edit the following registry entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeParametersType
Set the ‘Type’ registry entry to ‘NTP’, which specifies synchronization to a NTP time server.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeTimeProvidersNTPClientSpecialPollInterval
The ‘Special Poll Interval’ registry entry defines the period in seconds that the Windows 2003 operating system should poll the time server. A recommended value is 900, which equates to a polling period of every 15 minutes.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeConfigAnnounceFlags
Set the ‘Announce Flags’ registry entry to 5 indicating a reliable time reference.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeTimeProvidersNTPServerEnabled
Changing the ‘Enabled’ flag to the value 1 enables the NTP Time Server.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeParametersNtpServer
The ‘NTP Server’ parameter is used to provide a list of DNS names or IP addresses, separated by a space, of time servers that the Windows 2003 operating system can synchronize to.
Troubleshooting the Time Service
A number of isuues may be encountered when configuring the Microsoft Windows Time Service. SNTP and NTP operates using the UDP protocol over TCP/IP. Therefore, the TCP/IP network protocol must be active for SNTPNTP to operate. Synchronisation issues may also arise when SNTPNTP attempts to synchronise to an inaccurate time server reference or if network delays are excessive.
Synchronising Network Device and Components
In addition to synchronizing Microsoft Windows servers and workstations, time servers can also be used to synchronise network devices, such as switches, routers and hubs. Any network infrastructure that can synchronise to a NTP or SNTP time server can be pointed to the Windows time server to obtain synchronisation. In this way the whole network and accompanying infrastructure can be accurately synchronised to a time reference.
