Recently there are a few online friends asked me about web hosting. I noticed many bloggers does not aware types of web hosting. It may due to web hosting is always hidden to us, I think.

Web hosting tutorials did provide comprehensive info about types of web hosting. I’ll try to explain them in easiest to understand word. There are basically 2 types of web hosting.

Do you facing problem access to AhTim dot com? My blog hosting server was having intermittent problem last 3 days! It was really hard time for me. Can’t do anything, have to wait for technical support team.

I have upgraded my web hosting plan last month. It was running fine until few days back. From past 3 days, I noticed my blog down at least 1 hour each day. Just like the post title, the server down! down! down! At least 3 times exclude the time that I not online. So, the actual down time might be more!

The Hard Time

When the web server error happen, it shows “HTTP 500 Internal Server error” or “401 File Not Found, file handler error”. As I know, the web hosting server should restart by itself if anything wrong. But in my case, it just drag for unknown reason up to 1 hour. Sometime even longer. (more…)

Do you aware that there is a disaster at ThePlanet Datacenter 2 weeks ago? The server farm was offline caused by fire and explosion in the power room. The disaster caused 9000 servers down, affecting 7500 customers all over the world! Fortunately, I am not one of the victim.

I hope this kind of disaster never happen on any of us here. But the bad things always happen at wrong time. We can’t predict what happen next. So, the best practice is setup a disaster recovery plan for your Website or blog. Especially if you make money from blog, you will lost some money if server down for days or even hours. (more…)
