You should be in India if you have got anything at all to do with hosting. There is not one single web hosting company in the US that doesnt have something to do with India. Be it backend support, server monitoring, billing assitance or anything at all, companies would have tied up with someone in India for help.

So, if you happen to be running such a company in India, what is most suitable for you for internet connectivity? One major problem in India are frequent powercuts. The Electricity department is not good anywhere throughout the country. Corruption, and non maintenance of cables are the only reason. But this situation is changing in several parts of the country. Then again you have got UPS systems installed, if you are in serious business. So power is not something that we  should be worrying about.

BSNL provides you with the worst of services Never go for them. Airtel has got their own trans oceanic cable laid from Chennai to Singapore, so their service is supposed to be very good. Tata Indicom, formerly VSNL too has a good line that is connecting directly somewhere, but there are disruptions in the service. Never make the mistake of getting a connection from Relianc, Hathway is good, but DNS problems occur often.

You need to choose between a leased line and a broad band connection and the data transfer volume that you would require, which would depend on the number of PCs that you might be having at your facility. Instead of getting 1 single 2 Mbps line, you could go for 10×256 kbps lines, which might cost you a bit more, but you will have consistency of data flow to systems without any breakage.

Remember that you would be using a lot of server software to connect to and to monitor remote servers. You need lots and lots of data transfer limit, and a limited 2 Mbps connection would never suffice.

At places the huge towers holding the humming cables that carry th eelectricity, you will see nothing or no one around, Everyone is scared to go near that. If it rains, it could kill. If there is a leakage of any sort, you could be dead. And if you dont die, you will spend the rest of your life in complete misery. The shock would be that powerful. 500 KV, Thats about 5000 times the voltage of what comes in the average household power socket in the US, and about 2500 times, what comes in many other parts of the world.

These lines are always headed to a sub station that will be located at the outskirts of a city. Such substations will be loaded with transformers everywhere, supplying each induvidual circuit that it connects to. Various power stations have different billing patterns, and the circuits differ according to the billing pattern. In places, resistive load, such as power that is used for lights and heaters are charged less, and power used for running inductive load such as Fans, ACs, Refrigerators, or anything at all thats associated with a coil or a motor inside is charged more.

There is something called a power factor that is used when calculating the total power consumed. For resistive load, the power factor is 1, and when you multiply V and I, you get the power, V being the Voltage and I being the current, so a light bulb drawing 1 Ampere of current at 110 volts is a 110 watts bulb since the powerfactor is 1, there is no difference.

But in inductive load, there is a power factor of 0.8 that that is included while calcualting power for inductive loads. Lets say a Refrigerator draws 3 amperes of current at 220 volts, and without the power factor taken into consideration, the total power that it consumes is clearly 660 Watts. But with the power factor, you would be consuming only 530 watts. At places where inductive load is not charged higher, they are given a common slab and they end up paying for 660 watts while their usage is only 530 watts, and when paying for inductive load seperately, you pay more money for the 530 watts. So its more or less the same, and it depends on your usage.

Coming back to the sub stations, several transformers are connected to these individual circuits. These transformers are supplied power by a very huge transformer that steps down the voltage from the high tension lines.

Power is then distributed from independent transformers to various local transformers in the city at a tension of 11KV or 11000 Volts.

Do you know what is the bad thing about websites? Just any design will not do, and it needs to be worked up a lot. There are millions of websites in the world, and how do you make sure that your site comes up on the searches, and that they are visited by people who are looking for product or the stuff that you offer on your website? Well, you might have guessed it, you sites need to be optimized for search engines to read them and get them indexed properly. Where do you get markup infos anywhere other than maxwebdesign.eu?

Maxwebdesign.eu is a website that gives you info on how to build your website, and how to improve the performance of your website thru various strategies. The blog gives you information right from information on using link popularity to boost up your position on the search engines, and choosing a name for your website that is search engine effecient, using google analytics to boost up your sites’s performance

When it comes to web hosting, you should be very sure on whom you are selecting to trust your website with. Your website would contain huge databases or contact inforation of so many people in case you are running a blog or a forum, and though you try to maintain a very strict Privacy policy if your host steals your data, you are dead.

Well, so how do you choose a hosting company? You need to follow a system that is present everywehre, something like a web hosting rating system that classifies the actual service of a company without any partiality and give the actual picture of the company to the public who look for top rated hosting companies.

Webhostingrating.com is one such company, and it gives out web hosting awards once in a while to top performing web hosting companies in the world. It also contains quite a lot of web hosting tutorials which are designed to guide the users as well as newbie web hosting companies on giving quality services to clients, and for clients to know on what to expect from hosting companies, and knowing your rights and stuff.
