Web Host Uptime Monitoring purpose and tools
Posted by Smirnovi4 in Technology on February 24, 2010
Using web hosting services normally presumes storing content located on a remote server that is available online 24x7x365, which means that such a hosting server is powered and connected to the Internet constantly. A very important notion in web hosting technology is uptime. Wikipedia defines it in the following way: “Hosting uptime refers to the percentage of time the host is accessible via the internet“, therefore, if a customer is paying for hosting services, it is crucial for him to expect and receive the maximum uptime values. Although hosting companies do apply various monitoring techniques to track server’s state at any given moment of time, no technology is perfect and thus it is important to perform your own independent uptime monitoring, which may come in handy in emergency situations. So how do you measure uptime values correctly? Should you expect a 100% uptime? What web site monitoring tools are available to a regular user? These questions are not as simple as they appear at a first glance. Information in this article will be useful to those interested in understanding and monitoring uptime of an account or server.

I have been looking for some great plugins for WP lately. In this post I would like to share the results of search for the essential WP plugins available today free of charge. The main idea was to find the most useful plugins using the minimalistic approach.

So I set off to find the plugins that may be helpful both to me and all of you out there. So below is what I wound up with.

SHOPPING CARTS INSTALLATION USING INSTALLATRON
Thinking of starting a small online shop business is pretty inspiring. Once you figure what to sell and who to sell it to, where to host the shop, which script to use, once you come up with the domain name – you are done with the big strategy. But then inevitably you get to a point when you ask yourself questions: “How to make it all work from the technical side? How to install all you need and configure it?”
Installing new scripts may look scary for a beginner. Getting all the databases set up and configured, defining all the folders, uploading installation binaries and so on can become painful if you have never done this before. But what if you are not even sure if the script is worth installing it the hard way? The answer is simple – you don’t have to install most popular scripts manually with us, we have taken care of it for you. We have prepared a special application called Installatron that lets you install a number of scripts by making few clicks during literally 7-8 minutes.
What if you have never ever installed anything on a webhost at all? The answer is even simpler – here is a quick start to installing e-commerce applications using our Installtron.
Sitevalley ‘E-commerce’ hosting package comes with pre-installed osCommerce Shopping Cart, but in case you’re not satisfied with osCommerce we also offer quick and easy installations of CubeCart and PhpShop via Installtron (please check a special overview of these shopping carts which should help you make a decision).
So what is Installtron? It is a very friendly and powerful installation tool that lets you perform predefined installation in a mode of a wizard, which looks very similar to a regular installation wizard of a PC.
This guide will be handy not only for the owners of the ‘E-commerce’, but also for the owners of the ‘All Inclusive’ or any other plan, as the installation of any application through the Installatron has the same simple and user friendly scheme. While this guide covers the installation steps of CubeCart, the procedure for PhpShop or osCommerce or any other type of application (CMS Joomla for example), will be very similar…
