Drupal vs Joomla: In Search of the Best CMS

Gambar
While WordPress powers a whopping 24% of all websites on the Internet, it’s certainly not the only open source content management system (CMS) available. In fact, there are two highly effective software platforms, Joomla and Drupal, that warrant great attention when considering a CMS for your website. With Joomla raking in over nearly 50 million downloads and Drupal housing more than 1,000,000 elite websites, these powerhouses are worth investing the time to see which platform will best serve your business and site goals. Although each CMS provides the basic functions of adding, deleting, publishing, and storing various types of content, each tool has different strong points and weaknesses which should be explored prior to making your final decision.  The purpose here is to provide a comprehensive overview of Drupal vs Joomla to give you clarity for your next (or current) business website.  Joomla Joomla is becoming an increasingly popular content management system.   Actually, after

Internal vs. External: What’s the Best Choice for Intranet Hosting?

Gambar
With our years of experience in web hosting, we’ve found that intranets can be a challenge. But before we discuss hosting intranets any further, let’s define “intranet” in layman’s terms, because even this old term seems to have morphed into various definitions over the years. What is an Intranet? Traditionally, an intranet is thought of as a private and restricted internal Web-based site and/or network that is only accessible to users within an organization. Since intranet traffic is limited only to an organizations users, they are often hosted internally, within the company’s private network, but this is not always the case. Intranets are quite often hosted externally in companies that don't have the IT staff or infrastructure to run them internally (some consider an externally hosted intranet a contradiction in terms, preferring to call it a “secured Internet site”). There are many companies who have a lot to gain from an intranet but neither have nor want the overhead that come

Plesk or cPanel: Which is the Best Control Panel?

Gambar
One of the most important features of your web hosting service is your control panel – the tool that enables you to administer your website. Whilst there are many control panels available, including a range of own-brand panels developed by web hosts, the two most popular ones are Plesk and cPanel. They are, essentially, the Android and Apple of the control panel market. In this post, we’ll compare both applications so that if you are given a choice over which one to choose, you can make a more informed decision. Originally introduced back in 1996, cPanel is a much-loved platform used on millions of websites and is frequently included in many Linux shared hosting packages as well as being used for dedicated servers and cloud hosting. For those who have access to their server, cPanel often comes with WHM (Web Host Manager) a sister program that acts as a server administration interface. Plesk was launched in 2001 and, like cPanel, has come to be a dominant force in the control panel mar

Cloud Hosting Vs. File Servers: A Pros And Cons Analysis

Gambar
With cloud computing well into the mainstream and steadily replacing roles currently filled by traditional server architecture, it’s time to ask the big question: can cloud hosting replace traditional file servers for storing and sharing files between employees in your organization? Serving, sharing, and storing files was probably the very reason many small and midsize companies built out their intranet infrastructure in the first place, and may still be the only reason that many companies have a server in their office or are renting server space. And as the workforce became more mobile, these servers took on the additional duties of sharing your internal files with employees on the road or working from home, even though they may not have always been designed for those functions. Cloud hosting, on the other hand, was born from a networked world with sharing, collaboration, and mobility being key considerations from the very beginning. Despite only being a relatively recent technologica

Introduction to the File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

Gambar
Introduction In current times if you want to transfer a file to a friend, you can just attach it in an email and send it off. With high speed bandwidth being so cheap and plentiful to the home user, transferring a file in this manner is usually more than adequate. What if you needed to transfer the file to someone immediately; there could be no delays, it has to be fast, and the files you are transferring may be very large. In a scenario like this, email will most likely not be adequate. This is because most email providers limit the size of your mailbox on their servers, the size of attachments you may receive, and that there is no guarantee when you send email how long it will take for the recipient to receive it or if it will even get there. This is where FTP comes in. What is FTP FTP stands for the File transfer protocol and is used to transfer files between an FTP server and another computer. In the past, FTP was much more common than it is today and was the dominant file transfer

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Cloud Hosting

Gambar
Cloud hosting services provide hosting for websites on virtual servers. These servers pull their computing resources from an extensive underlying network of physical web servers. On principle, cloud hosting can be compared to traditional utilities like gas and electricity as it follows a utility model of computing where it is available as a service rather than a product. Clients can, therefore, tap into the services as much as they need. This, however, depends on their websites’ demand, but they are only allowed to pay for the resources they use. Cloud hosting exists as an alternative of hosting websites on single servers which can either be shared or dedicated servers. It can also be considered as an extension of the concept of clustered hosting, which requires websites to be hosted on multiple servers. The network of servers used in cloud hosting is vast and comprises of servers pulled from different data centers which are located in various locations. While many in the IT industry a

Cloud-based vs. Cloud-hosted: What’s the Difference?

Gambar
There are some common misconceptions about the distinction between cloud-based and cloud-hosted applications, particularly when it comes to PPM software. Many people confuse these two terms or use them synonymously – which is inaccurate. When thinking about the business impact of an application and the long term effects of going with one model over the other, it is important to understand the difference and base the decision on business needs. Let’s first start by defining cloud-based (native) and cloud-hosted. Cloud-based (native): Cloud-based or cloud-native applications are designed and deployed specifically for cloud environments. These applications are hosted in a true cloud infrastructure (like Amazon Web Services) and delivered in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) nature. They are designed to take advantage of the promises of cloud computing: ◈ Implementation times are much shorter as no additional hardware or software installation is required – customer access occurs almost “insta
