SQL is the short form of Structured Query Language; it is a database management language used in computer terms. It focuses mainly on query and updation of data, creation and modification of any graphical depiction of a database structure, and data access control. Microsoft SQL Server is a database server based upon relational algebra; T-SQL and ANSI SQL are its query languages. Microsoft SQL Server is one of the most demanded of Microsoft Servers and has been introduced in a number of variants over the years – SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, and SQL Server 2008 R2 in 2005, 2008, and 2009 respectively. User variability and multiple editions according to the uses with different features is the inimitability of the Microsoft SQL Server.

Something Phishy About your Company’s Email Server
August 20, 2010 by admin
Filed under Unix Server
The problem of leaky company email servers has been around since the last decade. Considering the length of time it has been around and the ton of information available on how to fix this problem, it boggles the mind that this very problem still exists today.
Just exactly what is this “leaky problem” in email servers? The common term for this problem is “open relay”.
Back in the days when the monstrosity known today as “spamming” was yet unheard of, email servers did not have to filter outgoing email according to allowed networks or domains. In other words, email senders from outside of your company’s network were allowed to relay through your email server. It was convenient for companies related to one another at that time to share a common email server because most internet access was via dial-up lines and the cost of a dedicated line was still very expensive. Every now and then, an unknown sender would gain relay access but most network administrators would just turn a blind eye even if this act spoke of bad netiquette. After all, the internet was still about sharing during those days.
Over time, the abusers came. The network administrators were slow in plugging the open relay because this kind of activity was yet unheard of and no patch would be available for the server software. The server software makers were just being alerted to this new form of network abuse. When the software makers were able to solve the open relay problem, the damage was too big to contain. The abusers have now discovered a new albeit unscrupulous means of getting their messages across. The cat and mouse chase was on.
A decade later, the chase is still on and it is quite apparent the mouse is running rings around the cat. Spammers are still using their trusty old open relay scanner which scours the net for leaky email servers. But these days, not only spammers are checking for leaks; they have been joined in the hunt by cyber criminals. While spammers send nothing more than annoying marketing pitches, the cyber criminals can actually clean out your bank accounts through the phishing email scams they send out.
If you are new to phishing, it is the method by which scammers send you an official looking email such as from your bank, credit card company or a website that you have done business with. They give you the story that they need you update your account or you risk cancellation. Then you should click a link on the email to take you to a website where you can update your personal information. The link is really a cleverly disguised web server that will gather the personal information that you input. Once the information is in the hands of the scammer, you know what they will do next.
Many phishing email scams’ method of operation are taken from the spammers’ handbook–utilizing open relays in unsuspecting email servers. Open relays are often the result of the administrator’s inexperience, lack of knowledge, carelessness or outright laziness. Most modern unix/linux based email servers have anti-relaying mechanisms built in, and while we have no experience with Windows based email servers, we would like to think that competent Windows based server software makers should have incorporated this feature as well. There is no set formula for configuring an email server, each business has its own unique requirements and policies to follow. But the constant should be that once the requirements and policies are in place, anti-relaying should be turned on.
Email is probably the most widely used tool in the online world. That is basically the reason why spammers and scammers exploit it to the max–the payoffs could be huge. By making sure your company’s email server is not an open relay, you are also disallowing the spammers and scammers from eating into your network bandwidth. But more importantly, you are saving many email users from unwanted junk and being victimized by cyber criminals. If you do not particularly care about doing it for others, do it for yourself because the next potential phishing victim might be you.

Control panels for Windows Only platform
Helm is a Windows only web hosting control panel. Helm control panel has many customer friendly features and the most striking feature is the billing information. Except the H-sphere, all most all the commonly used control panels do not provide billing information inside the control panel. Helm is easy to operate and has a good standard interface.
Hosting Accelerator is another windows only web hosting control panel. It seems to make a best impression by showing more stuff, but showing too much won’t make a best impression. It makes an impression that the interface is not planned properly and it lacks in extra feature. It suits the seasoned players.
Control Panels For Linux Only Platform
cPanel occupies the number one place among the control panels, because of its many features with easy operation and inexpensive aspect. It is based on Linux platform and serves for over ten flavors of Linux. Many hosting companies prefer it, as it costs only $20 per month/server.
Interworx has many features and deserves to be ranked at the top of Linux only platform web hosting control panels. Considering the fact that there are more Linux based web hosting providers, Inteworx has dedicated to the Linux platform. It has a feature to see the up streams and sown streams. Interworx has a clean interface.
DirectAdmin is another control panel serving Linux platform. DirectAdmin provides low hosting cost at $10 per month. It is the easiest control panel to use. Though it claims to have more features, needs lot of improvements to match the other Linux only control panels.
The disadvantage of both Linux only and Windows only control panels is that they lose the hosting customers of the other platform.
Control Panels For Both Linux And Windows
Plesk, because of its availability for both Linux and Windows platforms, has little advantage over the panel control panel. Many web hosting providers who serves both Linux and Windows hosting customers prefer Plesk. Plesk interface looks like Windows XP and it is expensive as it serves both the platforms. The website builder tool and other features integrate well with Plesk.
H-Sphere is another control panel for both Linux and Windows. Through H-Sphere is widely used by the web hosting sites, it lacks some features when compared to Plesk and cPanel. But it offers many features from key functionalities to complete automation.
Ensim, another control panel for both Windows and Linux, has to cover more grounds when compared to other web hosting control panels serving both Linux and Windows.
As per the ratings, cPanel is preferred for Linux platform and Helm control panel is for Windows platform.

Let’s Talk About Webpage Domain Name Registration Reasons and Services
August 16, 2010 by admin
Filed under Domain Name
First and foremost is that the Internet is not pass?nd experiencing a downward trend. The fact is its still growing at an astounding daily rate. Most people modern day are computer savvy and a very large majority now actually research a product or information online before making a decision to purchase. If you’re thinking about starting or expanding a business opportunity on the Internet the time is right. The first step is to register your business name, even before you complete building your a website.
Some of the most basic and understood reasons for wanting to register an independent domain name are as follows;
1. Unique identity. Many search engines will no longer list redundant affiliate Websites as they see them all as simply the same Website which would inundate and clutter their directory. Additionally, Internet surfers are not looking for replicated sites and would search using a service that provides the best and most varying information for a customer’s valuable time. With a personal domain name however, you get Websites listed in search engines, increased exposure and subsequently generate more free traffic and sales for the site you work so hard to put up in the forefront.
2. Professionalism. Customers seek out professional companies offering quality products and services. A personal domain offers and presents a professional image, prestige, and invaluable credibility. A personal domain allows the webmaster to customize, add, alter, include or delete and present their products and services in the manner they specifically choose.
3. Another words, Control. The Webmaster (you) have complete control as to what your site looks like and what information it contains.
4. Short, sweet address. Instead of having to advertise long, hard-to-remember URLs, you, can create an easy-to-remember domain name (e.g. www.MyBusiness.com). From there, building a Website with links to your Gateway(s) or, in the case of affiliate sites you wish to promote is a simple matter. You can easily set a personal domain to automatically redirect (referred to as “URL forwarding”) to a favorite Gateway or any other site. For example, you could advertise a name like www.OurBusiness.com, but when your prospects enter that URL, they’ll be automatically be redirected to the Gateway of your choosing.
5. A Permanent address. With a personal domain, you and your family or business can have permanent, lifetime e-mail addresses that you’ll never have to change. Likewise, you’ll be able to create exactly the e-mail addresses you want (e.g. YourFirstName@YourDomain.com, Info@YourDomain.com, MyBusiness.com, Support@YourDomain.com, etc.).
Like everything, not all similar services and products are created equally. You do in fact get what you pay for. Domain registrations can go from $1.99 up to and exceed $30 annually. Check the fine print and be sure you know exactly the benefits each registrar has to offer. There is some pretty common ground out there among the competition.
Some offer you hosting as well (a place to park your Webpage). Web hosting packages include storage, email accounts, domain and more services to consider for your complete business needs! Some sell you a domain name at a highly affordable rate but you might just be sacrificing the ability to transfer your new domain name to another hosting service so again, read the small print if you have other plans and services already in place.
Many domain services allow you to keep your contact information updated easily by using their Domain Management System. You will also be able to renew your domain name and update the Domain Name Servers (DNS information). By using your unique username and password established when you registered the domain name with their company.
The domain registrar that I personally use has some unusual features such as Word Wizard which allows me to use the name of a major city or state as part of a domain name to make it memorable. The Word Wizard combines my keyword with either category to create a domain name. Then to there is a function called Domain Twist where if you are having trouble coming up with an available name, the Domain Twist takes words and gives them a twirl to come up with variations of the original name. A function that I particularly like is in an instance where if you already own a domain name that you registered using another registrar you can save money by taking advantage of their low transfer price. An added benefit to transferring your domain to the service I use is that they will also add one year to the original registration term you had with the company you are transferring you domain name from.
They also let me search and register a maximum of 30 domains at one time and register variations of my primary domain names to avoid confusion and copycat sites. Best of all now that we all deal with international customers (and I have personally not found it anywhere else) is the ability to create domain names in Korean, Japanese, traditional and simplified Chinese characters. This function means the name you create will work just like any English-character name in that you can enter it into your browser and be taken to the corresponding website.
So, in a nut shell we talked about the advantages of registering a personal domain name and covered some limited information about the services domain registers offer. Most importantly, we addressed some unique features offered by the domain registrar I’m thrilled to be associated with and just had to share. You can find out more about my domain service that I’m excited about by visiting the link I placed in the resource box following this article. But in conclusion I’ll say for the third time, read the fine print to ensure they offer you everything you need as well.
What You Need to Know About Dedicated Server Hosting
August 13, 2010 by admin
Filed under Unix Server
Dedicated Server Hosting
On initial set-up you will probably decide to host your web site on a shared server, this is generally a much more cost effective and risk free option with the additional advantage of requiring much less know how and input on your part. But as your business grows so will the content of your website, and more importantly so too will the traffic your web site receives. Many shared solutions offer masses of storage and unlimited bandwidth but it should be noted that this bandwidth refers only to the maximum you may use in one month without incurring an additional charge from your web host and does not mean you are able to accommodate an unlimited amount of visitors at any one time. With shared host you share your server with many other websites and if any of them are receiving lots of traffic the speed of your site will be adversely affected, this is where dedicated hosting comes into it’s own.
Un-Managed Server Hosting, is naturally cheaper than managed server hosting, but comes with some additional responsibilities, primarily that of maintenance. You will be expected to carry out any up-keep required including adding patches, security and software upgrades and altering configurations, you should only choose to host your web site on an unmanaged server if you are comfortable with how a server works and how to maintain it.
Managed Server Hosting, is where you lease the Dedicated Server from your web host and they run it for you, managed server hosting costs slightly more than unmanaged server hosting but gives you the peace of mind that all up-keep, maintenance and required upgrades are provided by the host.
Dedicated Server Hosting as with shared server hosting comes with many choices, the first of which will be that of disk space, then of processing power and finally but very importantly of platform, Windows or Unix based. Your choices will be driven by the type of web site you are hosting, how many visitors you receive and what you are intending to host on it. If you are intending to run Windows based software such as MS Access or host windows media files WMVs for music or video then compatibility and licensing issues will require you to use windows based hosting. If you do not need to host these type of software, and will be using mp3, Vlc or Quicktime instead then you will be able to use a Unix based server, which can prove much more cost effective as most providers use the Linux form of Unix which is open source software and free, a saving which can be passed on to you.
Your dedicated server will usually be provided to you at a set cost per month which is made up of the lease of the server plus any extra packages including server management and software if you choose to have them. Most dedicated servers come with a graphical user interface in the form of a control panel not unlike many of those provided by the shared hosting options, although you will have much greater flexibility over the configuration of your web space as you are able to alter the server’s configuration yourself.
There is no limit (other than disk space) to the number of domains you can host which makes dedicated hosting a valuable option for those who want to avoid having to pay for each of those domains to be hosted separately.

Basic Information About the Web Hosting Lingo
August 6, 2010 by admin
Filed under Web Hosting Basic
If you are new to the entire “webpage world” and hosting lingo, it would be very useful to get some information which will allow you to understand just what the heck webmasters are talking about. Lets start by illustrating the main concept of hosting, a web host is basically a computer which has been specially built to run 24 hours a day 365 days a year and which will host your websites, if you were to do this from home you would definitely not be able to afford the electricity, Internet and hardware expenses, this is the reason why hosting companies charge a monthly fee for their services. Let’s describe some of the words that are commonly used by webmasters and hosting companies.
Server or Web server:
This is a physical machine which holds your website and all of the information that you put on it.
Bandwidth:
This is the amount of data that your server is going to exchange with people that are visiting your site for instance, if you upload a photo with a size of 100 kB and 10 people would come to your site to see this picture then out of these 10 people you would be utilizing 1 MB of data transfer or bandwidth, this is because 100 kB X 10 picture downloads equals 1000 kB which is almost be equivalent of 1 MB.
MySQL:
This is better described as a database where you can put all of the information that you will get from your visitors, if you are gathering statistics and information from your visitors then you obviously need a system which will about you to store all this information, that is MySQL. If you start a blog you will obviously need to store a lot of posts in your database, otherwise you wouldn’t have it any other way to store information and create a dynamic environment for your visitors.
Domain name:
This is the name of your website including the .com part of it which is also referred to as a top level domain or TLD, when someone asks you for your domain name they are referring to “thenameofyoursite (dot) com” they are not asking for the full URL which includes the “http” part.
Virtual hosting:
This is the most basic package that hosting companies offer to their subscribers, it offers the ability to create several databases and host many websites which are usually limited by the amount of bandwidth and system resources that you can use, is because you are going to be sharing a web server with many other websites, this is also the reason why this type of hosting account is so cheap.
Scripts:
These are programs that can be installed on your web server in order to make your life easier for instance, you can use a blogging script such as WordPress in order to create your blog, can you imagine how difficult it would be for you to find out how to write a system which will allow you to create entire pages and posts without having to design and redesign each and every page manually? if you are not using scripts to automate certain tasks then you are obviously putting a heavy tax on your time.
FTP accounts:
These are accounts that you can create for each and every one of your domain names in order to upload content in a more easy and efficient way, with a file transfer protocol application you are able to upload files to your web server just like if you were dragging them and dropping them from one folder of your computer to another folder.
There is a lot more terminology which is used by webmasters and web hosting companies, if you don’t understand them all immediately don’t worry and don’t get frustrated, you’ll understand everything as time goes by and you gain more experience.
The Truth About Hosting Virtual Servers on VMware vs Virtuozzo
July 28, 2010 by admin
Filed under Unix Server
The difference between VMware and Virtuozzo Containers is more than just the name. Only hosting companies using VMware can offer complete flexibility, security and capacity, as well as options for high availability, load balancing and disaster recovery.
Operating System Flexibility
A basic difference between VMware and Virtuozzo is that VMware creates individual virtual servers directly on the hardware, at a bare metal level, while Virtuozzo’s containers run at the operating system (OS) level.
All container environments running on the same physical hardware must share the same host operating system. This means that while each environment can run its own client OS, the one you can run on your virtual environment will be limited to those that are compatible with the host. Virtuozzo is limited to Linux or Windows at both the host and client level, and can only run a client OS on a physical server that uses the same host OS; in other words, a Linux client on a Linux host, and a Windows client on a Windows host. Of course, limiting the operating system also limits your choice of software to that available for Linux and Windows.
Running at the hardware level, VMware accomplishes virtualization by using a physical machine’s hardware resources to serve multiple virtual servers, each of which can run an independent operating system. In this way, VMware virtualization supports many diverse operating systems on any server system. This allows VMware to support a variety of Windows versions and many different flavors of Linux, including Ubuntu, SuSE, and Red Hat, as well as non-Windows and Linux operating systems such as Solaris and Netware.
With Virtuozzo, because your virtual environment must run the same OS as the host, you don’t have the option to manage and modify your own operating system. The need for uniformity extends to updates—all environments must run at the same patch level. That means that if your virtual environment’s software has not been optimized for the latest Windows or Linux update, and your hosting company installs it (on the host system and across all virtual environments), your software may function poorly, or not at all.
With VMware, you can manage and modify your own operating system, as well as run different patch levels than the host system. This offers your company installation and update control on your virtual servers, and the freedom to use an extended range of software, software releases, and even multiple software flavors on the same OS, such as SQL Standard, Web and Express editions.
In Virtuozzo’s containers, when you need to reboot your virtual environment, such as during a test phase, you’ll have to wait for a scheduled system outage for the entire physical server, chaining you to your hosting company’s calendar. Using VMware, you can reboot your operating system when and as often as your situation requires.
Finally, a hardware-based virtual server like VMware offers something an OS-based virtual environment does not and cannot offer—virtual memory. Virtual memory, called swap in Unix or page file in Windows, allows your applications to use an assigned piece of disk space as working memory when necessary to avoid crashing. Because all container environments share an operating system core, containers don’t have independent access to swap. Using VMware, your hosting provider can give you swap space or a paging file as large as that available on a physical server.
Security
Virtual environments that all run the same operating system are more vulnerable to both security breaches and simultaneous code faults. If the virtual servers on a hosting physical server are all running one operating system, and any of the operating systems are hacked, then they all are; if the host operating system experiences a failure due to a bug in the software, then they all do. This is not the kind of virtual server environment you can depend on to failover gracefully or recover quickly.
In a Virtuozzo environment, security is complicated by the need for OS patches to be certified by the company. That means that when a critical operating system patch is released, the patch must go through another layer of complexity and time before it is applied—time in which your virtual server could be vulnerable. If your servers are hosted on VMware, you can apply patches as soon as they are released.
On-Demand Capacity
Because a VMware virtual server can operate on any physical server in the network, and because VMware supports live migration or vMotion, your whole virtual server can be moved as needed to another piece of hardware—with no downtime. This saves your company data and time, and it could save you customers and money. It also means that when your hosting company needs to take a physical server down for maintenance or replacement, you never need to know. Unlike in an OS virtual environment, live migration will allow your virtual server to continue running on the hosting company’s other servers. This is a feature that Virtuozzo still does not have.
High Availability, Load Balancing and Disaster Recovery Options
VMware virtual server lets your hosting company offer high availability, load balancing, and disaster recovery, unlike OS virtual environments. With VMware, your hosting company can offer load balancing, so your workload can run on the physical server that suits your needs during peak times.
With an OS-level environment, it might be impossible to move live data from one server to another. Even with compatible operating systems, the server might require a reboot.
When You’re Looking for Virtual Server Hosting, Think Infinitely Virtual
Virtual Server platforms aren’t all the same, and your hosting company needs to use the most flexible, secure and available virtualization technology. VMware, which runs virtual servers at the hardware level, is that technology.
