8 Drawbacks to Free Web Hosting
Being that I own a web hosting company, I frequently surf through online forums replying to people’s hosting questions. Of all the questions I answer, I see one that appears over and over again, what are the drawbacks of free web hosting?
PHP Security in a shared hosting environment
Most PHP-enabled webservers are configured in such a way that the mod_php Apache module is loaded along with Apache itself, thereby allowing HTTP requests to be passed through the PHP engine, which preprocesses the data before it is sent to the client.

Green Web Hosting - Is It the Future?
The green web hosting options have expanded quite a bit in recent months. Which one should you choose?

Teleconferencing Services Not Just for Big Corporations

It was formerly the case that only larger sized businesses had access to multi participant phone conferencing. Such systems were typically quite expensive and often featured live operator assistance on every call.
Virtual Web Servers: Perfect For Mid-sized Web Hosting Needs, Part 1
Large companies can afford to have a dedicated web server or servers, but smaller companies and individuals usually can not afford to have a dedicated server for their web site.

Both of these alternatives have strengths and weaknesses.
myLittleAdmin for MS SQL Server 2005 from a Webhosting Perspective
If there’s one thing constant in the IT and hosting industries, it’s that technology is constantly changing and evolving. For me, keeping up with it all has been nothing short of a challenge. When Microsoft SQL Server 2005 came out towards the end of 2005, I pushed it to the side. It was just another thing I didn’t have time to learn.
