You probably already know you need quality hosting, a domain name and the right platform or CMS for your project. However, understanding a few of the technical things can help save you time and money.\r\n\r\nNameservers and IPs are a couple of the easier things to understand. By understanding how to change your Nameservers, how they work and what IPs are, you will be better prepared when you make that call to the technical support team.\r\n\r\n<b>What are Nameservers?</b>\r\n\r\nA name server is assigned to your domain name, usually two are assigned, and it\'s basically a specialized server that handles the questions and queries from your local computer when it comes to your domain name.\r\n\r\nAn easy way to think about how nameservers work is by thinking of a phone book. If you want to call a specific person or company, you\'d look them up in the phone book. A name server does the same thing for your domain name. When someone types it into the address bar or clicks on a link for your website, the local computer looks up the name server and takes them to the data associated with the page they are trying to find.\r\n\r\n<b>What are IPs?</b>\r\n\r\nBetter known as IP addresses, the IP stands for Internet Protocol. This is a numerical label given to each device, such as a printer or computer, on any computing network.\r\n\r\nThe IP address is sued to identify and locate the computer, printer, server or other device on the network. They are binary numbers and they look like this: 172.16.234.3\r\n\r\n<b>Changing your Domain Nameservers</b>\r\n\r\nThe most likely time you will use nameservers is after purchasing a new domain you want to host somewhere other than the domain registrar you bought it from. Usually, you will need to change the domain nameservers to do this, which is fairly easy.\r\n\r\nFirst, locate the nameservers associated with your hosting company. If you\'re using a host with cPanel, they are located in the left column towards the bottom of the page. This location may vary from one host to another.\r\n\r\nSecond, go to the domain registrar you purchased the domain from and find your domain manager panel. This will be different for each domain registrar. However, they will all have an option for changing the nameservers.\r\n\r\nThird, select the domain you want to change and select \"change nameservers\". This should bring up a form with two nameservers already in the boxes.\r\n\r\nFinally, delete the old nameservers and add in the new ones from your hosting account. Once complete, you should get a message telling you it could take up to a 24 hours or 48 hours for the changes to happen. Usually it happens within 12 hours, but this varies.\r\n\r\n<b>Changing WHM Nameserver IP\'s</b>\r\n\r\nAnother time you may need to work with your nameservers is within WHM. If you need to change your WHM nameserver IP\'s, you can do this from the main menu.\r\n\r\nStart by accessing the Server Configuration area and then the Basic cPanel &amp; WHM Setup menu. Within this area you will find the nameservers.\r\n\r\nOnce you\'ve accessed this area, you will see something like:\r\n\r\n61.97.62.37=ns7.yourhost.com\r\n\r\n61.97.62.37=ns8.yourhost.com\r\n\r\nFrom here, you can change to the right IP address and your local host.\r\n\r\nOnce you\'ve completed this step, you will need to access the file /var/cpanel/nameserverips.yaml. Change the nameservers and the IP addresses to the appropriate ones in here and restart your servers.\r\n\r\nMake sure to double check the changes after you reset.\r\n\r\n<b>Why Nameservers and IP Addresses are Important?</b>\r\n\r\nMaking changes that take a seasoned hosting veteran just a few minutes can save you time and money. You won\'t need to contact technical support and wait for them to take care of the issues. By understanding how nameservers and IP addresses work, you can take care of these changes on your own.\r\n\r\nThis can also help if you decide you want to use private nameservers or if you plan to purchase multiple domains and host them on different servers. It doesn\'t matter if you struggle with technical things or if it comes easy to you, understanding at least a few of the basics can go a long way.\r\n\r\nWhenever you do need to contact the technical support of your hosting company, perk up your ears and pay attention to what they are doing. You may just learn something for the next time you encounter an issue and you may be able to handle it yourself.','Understanding Nameservers and IPs','','inherit','open','closed','','4130-revision-v1','','','2014-01-07 09:29:55','2014-01-07 17:29:55','',4130,'http://itxdesign.com/4130-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4133,1,'2014-01-09 07:30:35','2014-01-09 15:30:35','<b>Why is DDoS Protection Important to All Businesses?</b>\r\n\r\nIf you\'re unaware, one of the most popular ways hackers are attacking businesses of all sizes is through DDoS attacks. DDoS stands for distributed denial-of-service. This type of attack can take down any unprotected server, at any business, at any time.\r\n\r\nExperts believe the headlines in 2014 will feature many different DDoS attacks from hackers. They have stated DDoS protection is one of the most important things any online business can have and the sooner it\'s implemented, the better.\r\n\r\n<b>From Banks to Gaming Sites to Small Businesses and More!</b>\r\n\r\nAttacks have already happened in many industries and have cost some companies tens of thousands of dollars. Each DDoS attack can lead to nearly an hour of downtime, which means customers cannot access your website. Hackers have timed these attacks to hit businesses at the absolute worst time.\r\n\r\nIn September of 2013, the first attacks hit a few of the major banks including:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>JPMorgan Chase</li>\r\n	<li>U.S. Bancorp</li>\r\n	<li>PNC Bank</li>\r\n	<li>Bank of America</li>\r\n	<li>Wells Fargo</li>\r\n	<li>And Many Others!</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThese attacks made it impossible for customers to perform financial transactions as banking website went down and IT professionals scrambled to figure out how to fix it. It was much like a \"Cyber Pearl Harbor\" and caused many issues.\r\n\r\nThe banking industry wasn\'t the end of the attacks, however. Gaming sites, retail sites and many others were attacked during some of the most profitable shopping days of the year. Some lost over $20,000 simply because they ignored the warnings about getting DDoS protection.\r\n\r\n<b>A Few Things the DDoS Attacks have Revealed</b>\r\n\r\nThrough these attacks, the online business world has learned many things.

With the ability of one hacker, using one DDoS attack, businesses could suffer or crumble altogether.\r\n\r\n<b>The Reality of DDoS Attacks and Protection</b>\r\n\r\nLarger businesses may only suffer a little bit and may be able to absorb losing tens of thousands of dollars in new customers, along with shelling out even more to fix the issue. However, medium to small businesses could lose their entire livelihood due to one DDoS attack.\r\n\r\nThese attacks can come from any hacker with the right tools and knowledge. Whether it\'s a competitor using dirty tricks, an upset former customer or just some bored student looking to cause chaos, the reality is, if you don\'t have proper DDoS protection, you\'re vulnerable to an attack.\r\n\r\n<b>How do you get High-Quality DDoS Protection?</b>\r\n\r\nFinding DDoS protection isn\'t hard, but if you employ the wrong company to handle this type of protection you may be sorry.

A good look at Magento vs. PrestaShop will help you get closer to the right choice. After comparing the two, you will have a better idea of which one fits your needs the best. We have done the hard work for you and here is our comparison of Magento and PrestaShop.\n\n<h4>A Quick Breakdown of Magento and PrestaShop</h4>\nSince both of these are open-source programs, they can be customized in many different ways. PrestaShop gives you tons of features, makes site management easy, provides SEO benefits, gives users analytics and reporting and so much more. Over 125,000 online stores use PrestaShop, which makes finding help with the program easy.\n\nMagento is, however, known as the leader in eCommerce shopping cart solutions. They provide a huge variety of features, tools and customization. Magento provides better SEO benefits than any other shopping cart on the market with targeted promotion and merchandising. They also allow for multiple payment and shipping option. Many large businesses trust their shopping cart needs to Magento.<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/magento-vs-prestashop.png\" alt=\"Magento vs PrestaShop\" width=\"886\" height=\"127\" style=\"border: 0; padding: 0; margin: 10px 0 -10px 0;\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4169\" />[one_half]<h4>What Do You Get With Magento?</h4>\n\nMagento provides plenty of features and it’s an open-source eCommerce solution with all kinds of flexibility. You’re the one in control with this eCommerce solution and you can change the look, content and how it functions. The way Magento is set up makes it easy to use it for search engine optimization and you can even use it as a catalog-management tool.\n\nWith plenty of experience behind this program, since it was founded in 2001, you won’t struggle to find answers to your questions. A recent partnership with eBay makes the system even more powerful and adds more developers to the community.\n\nMagento gives users all kinds of modules, features and extensions. Many have praised the technical sport and some have even called it the best in the business. It’s suited for professional online stores and works great for anybody trying to run a fully online or partially online business.\n[/one_half][one_half_last]<h4>What Do You Get With PrestaShop?</h4>\n\nPrestaShop is another open-source eCommerce solution with plenty of features. You can use the basic set up free of charge, but you will need to purchase templates, themes and modules if you want the most out of this system. It was launched in 2007 and targets small to medium business looking to gain an online presence.\n\nPrestaShop is available in 40 languages, but only supports fully in English and French. They don’t offer an official support team, but you can find plenty of developers and users in the PrestaShop forum. You don’t need to meet many requirements to use the program, except PHP 5.2, MySQL 5 and a Linux, UNIX or Windows operation system.\n[/one_half_last]\n\n<h3>Comparing Magento vs. Prestashop</h3>\nMaking the decision between PrestaShop vs Magento isn’t easy. These are both great eCommerce solutions. PrestaShop targets the small to medium sized business, while Magento caters to the medium to large business. Whether you’re taking your business online for the first time or migrating from another eCommerce solution, both of these programs provide an excellent solution.\n\n<h4>Looking at the Numbers</h4>\nPrestaShop was released in August 2007, while Magento was originally created in 2001. Magento has 15 versions, while PrestaShop only has seven. However, PrestaShop provides over 25,000 plugins and extensions, while Magento provides only 1,500 plugins and extensions. Both have about the same amount of online stores using the software and feature large clients, such as Nike AU & UK for Magento and The Fab Shoes for PrestaShop.\n\nMagento kills PrestaShop in the Twitter world with three times as many followers. However, PrestaShop more than triples the number of Facebook likes of Magento. The monthly maintenance cost of PrestaShop is about half that of Magento, but Magento is searched for more on Google than PrestaShop. PrestaShop is the easier of the two to install and customize. However, Magento offers more SEO benefits and more features, overall.\n\n<div class=\"market-share\">\n<ul>\n<li>PrestaShop is easier to install than Magento</li>\n<li>Magento has more out-of-the-box features than PrestaShop</li>\n<li>PrestaShop has a lower system requirement</li>\n<li>Magento doesn’t have the compatibility issues that PrestaShop does</li>\n<li>It’s easier to customize PrestaShop</li>\n<li>Magento provides more custom features and options</li>\n<li>Magento comes with a technical support team and a large community of developers, while PrestaShop only provides a forum for support</li>\n<li>PrestaShop is much smaller than Magento</li>\n<li>Search capabilities are better in PrestaShop</li>\n<li>Magento provides more themes for the user than PrestaShop </li>\n<li>Magento has SEO features not found in any other eCommerce solution</li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n\n<h3>The Overall Picture</h3>\nAfter looking at a comparison of some of the major offerings of PrestaShop and Magento, it’s easy to see they cater to different types of online stores. PrestaShop isn’t as popular as Magento, but it has become more popular over the past few years. It’s newer to the market compared to Magento and many experts believe PrestaShop will become a major competitor in the next couple of years. Making the decision between PrestaShop vs Magento isn’t easy. These are both great eCommerce solutions. PrestaShop targets the small to medium sized business, while Magento caters to the medium to large business. Whether you’re taking your business online for the first time or migrating from another eCommerce solution, both of these programs provide an excellent solution.\n\nIf you’re technologically challenged and you plan to do the work yourself, PrestaShop is the better choice. However, if you’re knowledgeable of technology and web design, you will find Magento a better fit. Customizing your shopping cart is easier with PrestaShop, but you don’t get the same control as you do with Magento.\n\nA larger company with a team of experts will find it easier to use Magento for all their shopping cart needs. However, smaller businesses or those without the ability to hire someone to handle it for them will find PrestaShop a more affordable option.\n\n[one_half]<h4>Who Should Choose Magento?</h4>\nMagento is perfect for those looking for full control over the customization of their online store. Larger businesses or those planning to grow quickly will find the features of Magento a better fit than PrestaShop.[/one_half][one_half_last]<h4>Who Should Choose PrestaShop?</h4>\nSmaller businesses or those not looking to grow quickly will find the user-friendly option of PrestaShop to fit perfectly with their needs. This system makes it easy to keep cost down and you won’t need to invest as much time into setting everything up.[/one_half_last]\n\n<h3>Where to Start?</h3>\nRegardless of which you choose between Magento vs. PrestaShop, you need to start with the right hosting. If you know PrestaShop is the choice, you need hosting that fits the requirements. Magento fits with just about any type of hosting, but you still want to get the best in the business.

(Recommended)</li>\r\n	<li>Use mod_rewrite to serve cache files. (Recommended)</li>\r\n	<li>Compress pages so they’re served more quickly to visitors. (Recommended)</li>\r\n	<li>Cache rebuild. Serve a supercache file to anonymous users while a new file is being generated. (Recommended)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThen Click Update Status\r\n\r\nThis will enable the WP Super Cache Plugin, however there\'s still one more step.  After applying these changes you must click Update Mod_Rewrite Rules.  This will update your .htaccess file automatically with all of the caching directives so caching is enabled.\r\n\r\nThis step really helps with the <strong>First Byte Time </strong>and<strong> Compress Images</strong>.  It causes your website to create a cache version of each of your dynamic pages.  In other words it speeds up the first response from the server since it doesn\'t happen to make multiple mysql calls and generate the page on the fly.  Once you\'ve completed all of this it\'s time to go to webpagetest.org again and run another test.  First you should open your website homepage in your browser to ensure the cache is generated.  Then run the second test and grab a cup of coffee.\r\n\r\n<strong>Setting Up MaxCDN With WP Super Cache In Wordpress</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><a title=\"Max CDN for Content Delivery\" href=\"http://tracking.maxcdn.com/c/60075/3961/378\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1770\" alt=\"maxcdn-load-faster\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/maxcdn-load-faster.png\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" /></a>Step 2.</strong> To resolve the rest of the optimization issues we would suggest setting up a CDN account with <a href=\"http://tracking.maxcdn.com/c/60075/3961/378\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Max CDN</a>\r\n\r\nSimply visit their website, select a CDN plan, and within minutes you\'ll have your welcome letter.  After you login to your Max CDN account create a new \"Pull Zone\".  A pull zone makes managing your CDN easy.  A CDN works by making a copy of your images and javascript files which rarely change.  It then takes those copies and publishes them to several web servers around the world.  When a user visits your website the image is then loaded from the CDN instead of your site.  For example if your website was itxdesign.com and you wanted to load the image webhosting.jpg instead of using itxdesign.com/webhosting.jpg the coding is automatically updated to cdn.itxdesign.com/webhosting.jpg.  So your website pages still load from your hosting account, however the images load from the subdomain cdn.itxdesign.com.  The power behind the CDN is that the subdomain that you setup is dynamic.  In otherwords the ultimate location that it points to varies depending on the geographical location of the user.  If someone is in Virginia then cdn.itxdesign.com is automatically pointed to the closest server in Virginia and the images would be loaded from there.\r\n\r\n<strong>The benefits of a Pull Zone with Max CDN</strong>\r\n\r\nYou should really consider using a Pull Zone.  If not then every time you upload a new image to your website you would have to login to your CDN account and upload it there. However, with a pull zone you simply upload the image to your website.  The first time a visitor goes to your site and requests an image that\'s not in the CDN, the CDN will automatically download that image from your site, add it to the CDN, and then display the image to the visitor.  This initial pull is slower than hosting the image yourself, however after the first pull the image is stored in the CDN and you\'ll see a huge improvement in speed.\r\n\r\n<strong>Setup a Sub Domain or CNAME Record for Your CDN</strong>\r\n\r\nIn this step you can choose to either use the url that Max CDN provides or you can setup a sub domain using your own domain name.   We would suggest using cdn.yourdomain.com.  Contact your hosting provider and have them create a new dns cname record that points cdn.yourdomain.com to your url with Max CDN.  Your Max CDN url can be found by logging into your account, click Zones, click Manage next to the zone your created, Click Settings.  Then scroll to the bottom under custom domain settings.  For custom domains enter in cdn.yourdomain.com and click add.  Right below that you will see: <label>CNAME to</label> domain.domain.netdna-cdn.com.  Copy the CNAME to and that\'s what you send to your host.  This will allow them to setup your CNAME Record and point cdn.yourdomain.com to your Max CDN CNAME to domain.domain.netdna-cdn.com.\r\n\r\n<strong>Enabling a CDN in WP Super Cache</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>After you\'ve installed WP Super Cache and setup Max CDN you have to login to WordPress and enable the CDN function. </strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>Login to WordPress</li>\r\n	<li>Go to Settings --&gt; WP Super Cache</li>\r\n	<li>Click the CDN tab</li>\r\n	<li>Check \"Enable CDN Support\"</li>\r\n	<li>Off-site URL \"cdn.yourdomain.com\"</li>\r\n	<li>Additional CNAMES \"http://cdn.yourdomain.com\"</li>\r\n	<li>Check \"Skip https URLs to avoid \"mixed content\" errors\"</li>\r\n	<li>Save Changes</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nWe followed all of these steps and in the end it was very rewarding.  Our website is now superfast and we were able to achieve all \"A\'s\" with webpagetest.org<img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1763\" alt=\"webpage-test-great\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/webpage-test-great-300x75.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"75\" />\r\n\r\n<a title=\"wordpress web hosting\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/wordpress-hosting/\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1772\" alt=\"wordpress-square-w-logo\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/wordpress-square-w-logo.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" /></a>If I had to rank this on difficulty for the average user I would say it\'s an 8 out of 10.  You have to understand caching, dns, cname records and CDN services in order to optimize your website and achieve a great report.  If you have questions leave a comment and we\'ll try to help.  If your website is hosted with us and you\'re using WordPress you can open a support ticket and we can handle the setup for you which is included in our hosting and support services.  If not we offer this service to non-clients for $150 if you\'re using WordPress and your website is hosted by another host.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://itxdesign.com/wordpress-hosting/\">WordPress Web Hosting</a>, WP Super Cache, and MaxCDN are the ultimate combination if you want a fast website that utilizes the best in caching and content delivery networks.','WP Super Cache','','inherit','open','closed','','1390-revision-v1','','','2014-01-07 09:41:25','2014-01-07 17:41:25','',1390,'http://itxdesign.com/1390-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4138,1,'2014-01-13 13:57:12','2014-01-13 21:57:12','<b>LiteSpeed Hosting Provides Faster Speed and More Benefits</b>\r\n\r\nHosting is an ever-evolving industry and LiteSpeed hosting is one of the newest improvements.

Take the time to choose the right package for your web hosting reseller business.\r\n<h3>Becoming a Successful Web Hosting Reseller</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignright  wp-image-4365\" style=\"border: 0px none; padding: 0px;\" alt=\"web hosting reseller business chart\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/reseller-customers.png\" width=\"308\" height=\"300\" />\r\n<h4>What is a Web Hosting Reseller?</h4>\r\nIf you have thought of becoming a web hosting reseller, then you had better understand what you are getting into before you actually go through with it. A web hosting reseller is someone that buys a large hosting package from a hosting company and sells off pieces of it for a profit. This person may spend $20 a month on their package and sell the parts off for a total of $60 a month.\r\n\r\nThere are many ways to become successful as a web hosting reseller. You need to be aware of what it will take and how to be successful with your reseller package. If you don’t work on building your hosting properly and selling it off in the right way, then you will most likely struggle to be successful.\r\n\r\nBelow are a few tips to help you gain the necessary knowledge to move forward as a web hosting reseller. These tips are designed to point you in the right direction and you will need to take them and build upon them. If you just try to go by this knowledge alone, you may run into some very confusing things.\r\n<h3>A Few Tips for Web Hosting Reseller Success</h3>\r\n[one_quarter]\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: center;\">Choose a Great Hosting Company</h4>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4345\" alt=\"choose a great hosting company\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/great-hosting.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" />\r\nIf you want to set yourself up for success from the beginning, you need to choose a top hosting company to provide you with your reseller hosting. This will make a difference and will allow you to get the support you need as well as passing it on to your own hosting clients. Take the time to research all the choices and get a company that has a great reputation for providing top-notch <a title=\"Reseller Hosting\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/reseller-hosting/\">reseller</a> hosting.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: center;\">Treat it like a Business</h4>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4346\" alt=\"treat it as a business\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/treat-it-as-business.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" />\r\nProbably the biggest mistake anybody makes when they are trying to make money online is they don’t treat what they are doing like a business. It is more like a gamble and a chance they are taking. You are not scratching a lottery ticket and there will not be any instant winnings. You have to put in the work to make sure your clients are taken care of and to market your services, so that you have clients to take care of.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: center;\">Sell Websites with Hosting</h4>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4348\" alt=\"sell websites with hosting\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/sell-sites-2-sell-hosting1.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" />\r\nOne of the best ways to get clients and market your web hosting reseller package is to build a website and sell it along with hosting. Many people want to buy websites that are already making money and if they buy the website, they are going to need hosting. Offer a free month of hosting and give them an offer on a year’s worth of hosting from there, they can’t resist.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: center;\">Set Goals and Put Together a Plan</h4>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4349\" alt=\"Set goals and put together a plan\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/goals-and-plan.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" />\r\nPart of treating your web hosting reseller business as an actual business is to set goals you can achieve and put together a plan of action. If you don’t have a plan, then chances are you will never get to where you want to go. An online income is not going to just show up at your doorstep and start crawling into your pocket. You have to take action and create it.[/one_quarter_last]\r\n<div class=\"start-empire4\" style=\"text-align: center;\">[abutton color=\"green\" link=\"https://itxdesign.com/billing/cart.php\"]SIGN UP[/abutton]</div>','Starting a Web Hosting Reseller Business','','publish','open','closed','','starting-a-web-hosting-reseller-business','','','2014-01-29 05:34:10','2014-01-29 10:34:10','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?page_id=4336',0,'page','',0),(4150,3,'2014-01-09 07:40:36','2014-01-09 15:40:36','','magento-vs-prestashop-comparison','','inherit','open','closed','','magento-vs-prestashop-comparison','','','2014-01-09 07:40:36','2014-01-09 15:40:36','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/magento-vs-prestashop-comparison.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(4906,1,'2014-01-27 09:13:42','2014-01-27 14:13:42','<img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1455\" alt=\"server-room\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/server-room.jpg\" width=\"168\" height=\"112\" />Some of the best hosting you will find comes from a <a title=\"dedicated server hosting\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/dedicated-servers/\">dedicated managed server</a>. This makes it affordable for anybody to use the best hosting online, if you choose the right company. Some hosting companies charge far too much money for this type of hosting and they don\'t give you all the features and support you need. With the right company, you get fully managed hosting, complete with backups, full security, patching and 24/7 support.\r\n\r\n<b>The Benefits</b>\r\n\r\nChoosing a dedicated managed server for your website hosting comes with many benefits. This is the best way to gain full control over your hosting, along with the ability to customize any of the features you prefer. With this type of hosting, you gain incredible scalability, reliability, security and so much more. Here\'s a breakdown of what you get with dedicated server hosting.\r\n\r\n<b>Better Security</b>\r\n\r\nCompared to shared and <a title=\"VPS Hosting\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/vps-hosting/\">VPS hosting</a>, you get better security from dedicated managed hosting. The quality data center you get with ITX will provide everything you need, including the best security of any hosting company. The right software with regular updates will provide you with advanced security options you can\'t get with any other type of hosting.\r\n\r\n<b>Reliability</b>\r\n\r\nUnless you\'re company is in the IT industry, you need someone capable of providing the maximum uptime for your website, blog and any other online projects. You don\'t need the burden of hiring an entire staff dedicated to managing your hosting servers. Dedicated managed server hosting takes the burden off you and allows you to get all the benefits you need.\r\n\r\n<b>Support</b>\r\n\r\nWith full support provided by the best hosting companies, such as ITX Design, you get the benefit of an experienced team ready to help no matter when you need it. The certified staff at ITX Design will monitor your server 24/7 and take care of any issues before they become a problem for you.\r\n\r\n<b>Scalability</b>\r\n\r\nAs you grow, you may need more space and resources. With managed dedicated hosting servers, you can usually get more space easily without migrating to a new hosting company. You need to be able to grow your business and this type of hosting gives you the ability to grow to any size.\r\n\r\nWho is Managed Dedicated Server Hosting Right For?\r\n\r\nNot everybody can afford or needs dedicated managed server hosting. However, those looking for the best possible hosting, with the most resources, need a dedicated server. This leaves you with only a few options.\r\n\r\nYou can hire a full IT staff, spend thousands of dollars on your own server(s) and take on the high overhead of providing monitoring for your websites and hosting. This can become very expensive, very fast, but does provide you with complete control, since you own the server(s) and hire the staff.\r\n\r\nHowever, many companies cannot afford to pay a full-time IT staff or spend tens of thousands of dollars for good servers. If you don\'t have that type of budget, dedicated managed server hosting is the perfect option for your needs. This type of hosting allows you to get the same benefits for a low monthly fee.\r\n\r\nWith dedicated hosting managed by the company providing the server, you can get a reliable and secure server for as little as $179 per month. This means you get all the same benefits of in-house dedicated server hosting without the high cost. You won\'t need to interview hosting experts and IT personnel. You won\'t have to pay high salaries for the experts in the industry and you won\'t need to pay for the maintenance on your servers.\r\n\r\nIf you want the most out of your hosting, you need to consider the value you get from the potential company providing the server for your websites. The best companies provide experts with years of experience in the industry to monitor your servers and provide support any time of the day.\r\n\r\n<b>Why ITX Design Provides the Right Server Solution for You</b>\r\n\r\nIf you need excellent dedicated managed server hosting and you want a team of professionals providing you with the best support in the business, ITX Design is the right choice. With four dedicated packages and all the best options, you will get everything you need for one low monthly price. Don\'t bother hiring a full IT staff and spending thousands on your hosting, when you can get the same benefits for a far lower price.','Choosing a Dedicated Managed Server Gives You More for Your Money','','inherit','open','closed','','1454-revision-v1','','','2014-01-27 09:13:42','2014-01-27 14:13:42','',1454,'http://itxdesign.com/1454-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

If you want all the features, you have to pay extra for the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>IP.Nexus</li>\r\n	<li>IP.Content</li>\r\n	<li>IP.Blog</li>\r\n	<li>IP.Gallery</li>\r\n	<li>IP.Downloads</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThese features range anywhere from $50 to $75.   All the features and the core of IPB come with a renewal fee ranging from $20 to $35.\r\n\r\nThe price category is easily won by vBulletin because it’s a one-time fee per license.\r\n\r\n[one_half]<h3>Ease of Use</h3>\r\nAfter scouring the forums and reading reviews, the ease of use category is easily won by IPB. When looking at IPB vs. vBulletin, they are both very easy to use, but more of the customers found throughout the forums like the way IPB is laid out. They find it to be more efficient and easier to work with.[/one_half][one_half_last]<h3>Support</h3>\r\nSupport is always an important part of the discussion when looking at IPB vs. vBulletin or any other battle. Overall, vBulletin has more support options because they’ve been around longer. More how-to guides, videos and posts are found online for vBulletin and they have more users than IPB. The support provided by IPB is very good, but vBulletin wins in this category.[/one_half_last]<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ipb-vs-vbulletin-search-trends.png\" alt=\"IPB vs vBulletin Search Trends\" width=\"861\" height=\"249\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4319\" />\r\n\r\n<h3>The Overall Choice Between IPB vs. vBulletin</h3>\r\nThe right choice between IPB vs. vBulletin is a difficult one. Some will choose IPB and it will be the right choice, while others will choose vBulletin and it will provide exactly what they need. Both are great choices, but vBulletin edges IPB out by a small margin.\r\n\r\nStarting your own forum can be expensive and it can get stressful. If you don’t make the right choices for the software and hosting, you could struggle to get all you need out of your forum. It’s really about the user experience, and providing the best experience for your members requires excellent hosting. Without great hosting, your forum may take forever to load and posting could become difficult.\r\n\r\n<h3>Hosting for IPB or vBulletin</h3>\r\nAfter you choose between IPB and vBulletin, you will need to choose the right hosting. Without great hosting, neither will provide you with the powerful foundation you need. ITX Design supports hosting for both programs with plenty of hosting options. Whether you need shared hosting, VPS or a dedicated server, you can find it from ITX Design with the best support, 24/7, in the hosting industry.\r\n<div class=\"start-empire2\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n[abutton color=\"green\" link=\"https://itxdesign.com/billing/cart.php\"]SIGN UP[/abutton]\r\n</div>','IPB vs. vBulletin','','inherit','open','closed','','4314-revision-v1','','','2014-01-16 08:22:51','2014-01-16 16:22:51','',4314,'http://itxdesign.com/4314-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4327,1,'2014-01-16 09:07:32','2014-01-16 17:07:32','<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4328\" style=\"border: 0; padding: 0;\" alt=\"IPB vs XenForo Comparison Chart\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ipb-vs-xenforo-comparison-chart.png\" width=\"920\" height=\"663\" />\r\n<h3>The Honest Battle Between IPB vs XenForo</h3>\r\nAfter looking at the upside and the downside of both IPB and XenForo, there’s a clear winner. When looking at any battle between two software programs, such as IPB vs. XenForo, it’s necessary to look at what you’re trying to accomplish. We can give you the overall view, but one may fit with your project better than the other.\r\n[one_half]<h3>A Closer Look at IPB</h3>\r\nThe major benefits of IPB include the capability to do more than many other systems. It provides many extras, such as IP.Nexus, which provides plenty of integration, ecommerce and more. Other benefits include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Mobile Skin</li>\r\n	<li>Built-in iPhone App</li>\r\n	<li>IP.Content Article System</li>\r\n	<li>An excellent search system</li>\r\n	<li>A Gallery with plenty of excellent upgrades</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nHowever, with any system, there are disadvantages. One of the main things holding IPB back is the thin developer community. Another issue comes with the rapidly changing core products. At one point, they were releasing updates just about every week, which is an issue for sure. Other disadvantages include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Outdated platform</li>\r\n	<li>Inconsistencies between apps</li>\r\n	<li>Hard to work with the CSS</li>\r\n	<li>IP.Content doesn’t fulfill its promises</li>\r\n	<li>A lack of documentation</li>\r\n	<li>Hard to work with</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[/one_half][one_half_last]<h3>A Closer Look at XenForo</h3>\r\nThe other part of the IPB vs. XenForo battle includes a look at XenForo. This program is fun and provides a user engagement experience, which is a big advantage. Plenty of energy is found within the developer community and the moderators provide excellent support. Other advantages include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Built from the ground up</li>\r\n	<li>Excellent CSS style planning</li>\r\n	<li>Powerful template system</li>\r\n	<li>Plenty of upgrade options</li>\r\n	<li>Excellent SEO</li>\r\n	<li>CMS, Gallery and more!</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nXenForo comes with some disadvantages, as well. One of the biggest disadvantages is how new the system is. It’s only a few years old and many other systems, such as IPB have been around longer. Some of the legal disputes have overshadowed the program, as well. This could hurt the future of XenForo. Other disadvantages include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Lack of functionality</li>\r\n	<li>Hard to use</li>\r\n	<li>Hard to migrate from another community</li>\r\n	<li>Under developed</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[/one_half_last]Overall, XenForo is a great choice, but not up to par with some of the others out there. IPB takes this battle with XenForo and will give you more power. This is a great choice when you want to create a forum.\r\n\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ipb-vs-xenforo.png\" alt=\"IPB vs XenForo\" width=\"893\" height=\"97\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4329\" style=\"border:0;padding:0\" />\r\n<h3>It Comes Down to Personal Choice</h3>\r\nMany of the reviews in the forums break down the battle between IPB vs. XenForo to a personal choice. Sometimes IPB fits better with what your project requires, while other times XenForo is a better choice. XenForo seems to add new things every few months and it’s catching up to the rest of the forum choices, but it’s not there quite yet. IPB has many powerful features and gives the user plenty of customizable options and add ons.\r\n\r\nExperts struggle to choose between the two because they love certain parts of both systems. Whether you’re looking to get started with your first forum or you have plenty of forum experience, either one will do the trick. Just make sure you choose the platform that works best for your specific needs.\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ipb-vs-xenforo-search-trends.png\" alt=\"IPB vs XenForo Search Trends\" width=\"922\" height=\"222\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4330\" />\r\n<h3>Hosting after Choosing Between IPB vs. XenForo</h3>\r\nOnce you lock in your choice between IPB vs. XenForo, you need to choose the right hosting. It doesn’t matter which one you choose, if you don’t choose good hosting. Without the right foundation for your forum, users will experience slow load times, struggles posting and downtime. This will hurt the user experience and cause inactivity in your forum.\r\n\r\nAt ITX Design, we provide three levels of hosting that supports both forum choices. Whether you want to use IPB or XenForo, we can provide the foundation you need. Our support team is better than anybody in the business and we provide technical support 24/7.\r\n\r\nAlong with excellent support, ITX Design provides all the necessary options to allow you to do more than just start a forum.

Many times, businesses have to decide which is the best choice for them and they are all a little different. Whether looking at Magento vs. Open Cart or BigCommerce vs. Zen Cart or any of the other choices, it’s important to figure out what you need and how the ecommerce solution will address your issues..\r\n[one_half]\r\n<h4>A Closer Look at Magento</h4>\r\nWith Magento, you gain a professional system for online retailing. The place in which Open Cart falls short is exactly where Magento continues to provide benefits. You can take your business to a higher level with Magento and you gain many great SEO resources from the system. There are no design restraints and you can create a fully customizable shopping experience.\r\n\r\nThe advantage of Magento are numerous including nearly unlimited control over the way your shopping cart will look and how the user will interact with it. You can use content marketing within the system and you have complete control over the SEO settings of the system. The URL you use is search friendly and you can even use tagging for larger SEO benefits.\r\n\r\nWithin the system, you gain enhanced benefits, such as order history, product comparison, smart customer accounts, recently viewed products and more. This gives you plenty of power and they even provide you with award-winning technical support. Reports can be pulled for inventory, low stock, sales and product search, along with the ability to support multiple online stores from one administration area.\r\n\r\nOne of the major benefits is the way you can incorporate eBay, PayPal, Mil, Where, RedLaser, GSI Commerce and Magento together. This gives you a type of power you just cannot get with Open Cart.\r\n[/one_half][one_half_last]\r\n<h4>A Closer Look at Open Cart</h4>\r\nIf you have a small budget, Open Cart might be the right choice. This is a powerful ecommerce solution and geared towards start-ups. It also only requires a small investment compared to some of the other choices.\r\n\r\nWhen you look at the features of Magento vs. Open Cart, you gain specific advantages from Open Cart. Many find it easier to set up and use, but it is a little bit limited on the high end. You can download it free of charge and they provide plenty of upgrades and support. The system is considered a lightweight system, which is easy to host.\r\n\r\nThe control panel is made for new users and many find it to be self-explanatory. You can find plenty of tutorials within the developer community and you’ll be able to accept PayPal, WorldPay, SagePay and many other forms of payment through Open Cart.\r\n\r\nHowever, with any system, there are some limitations. Open Cart is a bit restrained when it comes to search engine optimization and you can’t use a custom URL. Some of the pre-installed options are limited and you won’t be able to customize the template as much as you can with Magento.\r\n[/one_half_last]\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4184\" style=\"border: 0; padding: 0;\" alt=\"Magento vs Open Cart\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/magento-vs-opencart.png\" width=\"908\" height=\"123\" />\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4185\" style=\"border: 0; padding: 0; margin-top: -20px;\" alt=\"Magento vs Open Cart Market Share Chart\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/magento-vs-opencart-market-share.png\" width=\"484\" height=\"436\" />\r\n<div style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px 15px 0 0;\">\r\n<h4>What\'s Right For You?</h4>\r\nThere’s no system out there considered as a one-size-fits-all, but there is a right system for your needs. As you go through the decision making process, you need to consider a few specific questions, including:\r\n\r\n<em>Are you planning to work with a professional web development company?</em>\r\n\r\n<em>Do you need a custom solution or is it more important to get product online fast?</em>\r\n\r\n<em>Which countries do you plan to sell your products in?</em>\r\n\r\n<em>Does SEO factor into your marketing strategy?</em>\r\n\r\n<em>Will you run just one store or multiple?</em>\r\n\r\n<em>Do you need great support?</em>\r\n\r\n<em>What type of budget are you working with?\r\n</em>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"clear\"></div>\r\n<h3>The Overall Comparison</h3>\r\nWhen you’re looking at any ecommerce system, it’s important to know what you need. Open Cart is perfect for beginners and those just looking to run a small online store. However, if you plan to run multiple stores, you need more custom features or you’re looking for better support. Magento is a better choice for your ecommerce solution.\r\n\r\nIf you’re not sure which one between Magento vs. Open Cart is right for you, it’s always a good idea to speak with a developer or your hosting company. Sometimes one will run better on a hosting company than another, while some developers prefer one over another. Just make sure the final decision provides you with all the features and benefits you need for your online business.\r\n<div class=\"start-empire\">[abutton color=\"green\" link=\"https://itxdesign.com/billing/cart.php\"]SIGN UP[/abutton]</div>\r\n</div>','Magento vs Open Cart - Choosing the Right Ecommerce Solution','','publish','open','closed','','magento-vs-open-cart-choosing-the-right-ecommerce-solution','','','2014-01-29 05:34:10','2014-01-29 10:34:10','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?page_id=4168',0,'page','',0),(4169,3,'2014-01-09 10:13:45','2014-01-09 18:13:45','','magento-vs-prestashop','','inherit','open','closed','','magento-vs-prestashop-3','','','2014-01-09 10:13:45','2014-01-09 18:13:45','',2165,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/magento-vs-prestashop.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(4170,3,'2014-01-09 10:14:17','2014-01-09 18:14:17','<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/magento-vs-prestashop-comparison.png\" alt=\"Magento vs Prestashop Features Comparison\" width=\"924\" height=\"669\" style=\"border: none; padding: 0;\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4150\" />\r\n\r\nWhen you know you need to choose the right eCommerce platform, it’s important to look at the best choices on the market.

Zen Cart is an open source shopping cart system, whereas Woo Commerce is a WordPress plugin. With one of these two choices, you can put up an ecommerce store, start selling product online and grow your business. However, they won’t both fit for every business.\r\n\r\n[one_half]<h3>Zen Cart</h3>\r\nAs an open source system using PHP and MySQL, you will need hosting that allows you to use both of these for your website. Most standard shared and <a href=\"https://itxdesign.com/vps-hosting/\">VPS hosting companies</a> will give you the ability to use PHP and MySQL. Since this is an open source system, it’s free to download, which makes it a great choice if you’re on a budget. Some shopping cart systems are expensive to use, but not Zen Cart.\r\n\r\nWithin the system, you can use a template system to customize the look and function of your store. There are also many different free and premium themes available for Zen Cart making it easy to change the look of your online store. If you’re looking a shopping cart system above and beyond the other open source choices, Zen Cart is the one. It’s very similar to OS Commerce, but it’s more advanced.[/one_half][one_half_last]<h3>WooCommerce</h3>\r\nWith the Woo Commerce plugin, you need to use a WordPress website or it won’t do you any good. This plugin allows you to use many different types of reporting, dashboard widgets, coupons and more. You can integrate multiple payment methods and you can set the shipping, tax, product and inventory however you prefer.\r\n\r\nAlong with the many features, you can also take advantage of the many extensions and themes provided by the WooThemes website. Some of the extensions are free, while others come with a small fee. Overall, you can use the Woo Commerce system free of charge, but some of the things you might need will come with a small fee.\r\n\r\nAdditional features give you the ability to integrate dynamic pricing, Use add-ons, choose per product shipping rates and even choose table rate shipping choices. The system is completely customizable and you get the ability to make your store work and look the way you prefer.[/one_half_last]\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/zen-cart_vs_woocommerce.png\" alt=\"Zen-Cart vs WooCommerce\" width=\"910\" height=\"132\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4195\" style=\"border: 0; padding: 0;\" />\r\n\r\n[one_half]<h3>Who is Zen Cart For?</h3>\r\nZen Cart will fit with beginners and advanced users looking to make only a small investment.

If you’re using WordPress, Woo Commerce is the right choice. However, if you’re not using WordPress, Zen Cart will be the better choice out of the two systems.

Zen Cart is an open source shopping cart system, whereas Woo Commerce is a WordPress plugin. With one of these two choices, you can put up an ecommerce store, start selling product online and grow your business. However, they won’t both fit for every business.\r\n\r\n[one_half]<h3>Zen Cart</h3>\r\nAs an open source system using PHP and MySQL, you will need hosting that allows you to use both of these for your website. Most standard shared and <a href=\"https://itxdesign.com/vps-hosting/\">VPS hosting companies</a> will give you the ability to use PHP and MySQL. Since this is an open source system, it’s free to download, which makes it a great choice if you’re on a budget. Some shopping cart systems are expensive to use, but not Zen Cart.\r\n\r\nWithin the system, you can use a template system to customize the look and function of your store. There are also many different free and premium themes available for Zen Cart making it easy to change the look of your online store. If you’re looking a shopping cart system above and beyond the other open source choices, Zen Cart is the one. It’s very similar to OS Commerce, but it’s more advanced.[/one_half][one_half_last]<h3>WooCommerce</h3>\r\nWith the Woo Commerce plugin, you need to use a WordPress website or it won’t do you any good. This plugin allows you to use many different types of reporting, dashboard widgets, coupons and more. You can integrate multiple payment methods and you can set the shipping, tax, product and inventory however you prefer.\r\n\r\nAlong with the many features, you can also take advantage of the many extensions and themes provided by the WooThemes website. Some of the extensions are free, while others come with a small fee. Overall, you can use the Woo Commerce system free of charge, but some of the things you might need will come with a small fee.\r\n\r\nAdditional features give you the ability to integrate dynamic pricing, Use add-ons, choose per product shipping rates and even choose table rate shipping choices. The system is completely customizable and you get the ability to make your store work and look the way you prefer.[/one_half_last]\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/zen-cart_vs_woocommerce.png\" alt=\"Zen-Cart vs WooCommerce\" width=\"910\" height=\"132\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4195\" style=\"border: 0; padding: 0;\" />\r\n\r\n[one_half]<h3>Who is Zen Cart For?</h3>\r\nZen Cart will fit with beginners and advanced users looking to make only a small investment.

XenForo just doesn’t have the same support and isn’t completely up-to-date with the other two, but it’s still a great system.\r\n\r\n<h3>Hosting Your Forum Script</h3>\r\nNo matter which of the three in the battle between vBulletin vs. XenForo vs. IPB you choose, it’s important to know, shared hosting won’t cut it. These are not exactly heavy scripts, but they are too heavy for good performance on a shared hosting account.\r\n\r\nYou can start with shared hosting to get things set up, but once you see your members become active, you will need at least VPS hosting. Choosing a company offering VPS and dedicated hosting options will provide the opportunity for growth, which is vital with any forum.\r\n\r\nITX Design provides hosting packages capable of supporting all three paid forum scripts. Once you make the choice between vBulletin, XenForo and IPB, contact the support team at ITX Design.

It’s a top contender and provides many great features for the best community experience possible.

Getting a website up and running requires a domain name and hosting. The expense of the domain is very cheap, but hosting can range anywhere from $1 a month up to hundreds of dollars, depending on the company and the package.\r\n\r\n<b>What is Dollar Hosting, Really?</b>\r\n\r\nDollar hosting is shared hosting offered for $1 per month. This sounds very enticing because just about anybody on the planet can afford $1 a month. However, there are some issues with this type of hosting that must be discussed.\r\n\r\nFirst, with dollar shared hosting, you don\'t get much bandwidth or transfer. This is necessary for the traffic coming to your website and if you\'re limit is low, once it\'s gone, you\'re site won\'t work anymore. Quickly, your dollar hosting could turn into a more expensive package when you pay for more bandwidth.\r\n\r\nSecond, if you plan to build more than one or two domain names, most companies offering dollar hosting won\'t give you this option. They provide some of the things you needs, but MySQL databases, FTP accounts, hosted domain names and many other options are severely limited.\r\n\r\nFinally, the support from companies offering hosting at such a low cost isn\'t worth your time. If you enjoy waiting for answers to your questions and large amounts of downtime, dollar hosting may be the right solution for you, however.\r\n\r\n<b>Cheap Hosting Equals Headaches</b>\r\n\r\nHave you ever had to call the support of a hosting company and ended up stuck on hold for what seemed like an eternity? What about emailing the company and hearing back from them three days later? These are the types of headache cheaper hosting companies provide.\r\n\r\nThere\'s a reason why shared hosting packages from the best companies in the world are more expensive than $1. Providing excellent technical support is very important with any hosting company and the right people cost money. Dollar hosting doesn\'t leave much profit for any hosting company and means they have to skimp in other areas, such as support.\r\n\r\n<b>The Truth About Dollar Hosting Support</b>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4222\" alt=\"dollar-hosting-man-two\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/dollar-hosting-man-two.jpg\" width=\"168\" height=\"168\" />Sifting through the many reviews and complaints about companies offering dollar hosting will enlighten anybody to the catastrophe they are about to walk into with this type of hosting. Some former customers have stated that instead of fixing their issues, the company just terminated their account. This isn\'t the proper way to handle a support ticket.\r\n\r\nOther issues reported with these companies include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Making is very difficult to cancel your account</li>\r\n	<li>Attempts to collect payments after you\'ve canceled your account</li>\r\n	<li>Long wait times for account information after sign up</li>\r\n	<li>Daily downtime</li>\r\n	<li>Ignored support tickets</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThese are just a few of the many complaints found when searching for reviews about various dollar hosting companies. Even members of two of the top internet marketing forums have recommended other hosting companies over these types of companies.\r\n\r\n<b>Choosing a Better Hosting Company</b>\r\n\r\nFinding a company in the hosting industry that won\'t have you pulling your hair out and popping headache medicine like Skittle\'s doesn\'t have to be difficult. The first step is throwing the price out the window and looking at the features and support.\r\n\r\nShared hosting is very cheap across the board with a range from about $1 per month to about $25 per month. Some of the more expensive packages provide features you may not need and the average website will only need to spend between $5 and $10 for hosting every month.\r\n\r\nOnce you get over trying to choose the cheapest hosting possible, you can look at what you\'re really getting with a clear mind. Most companies offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee, which is far better than just a 99% uptime guarantee. It doesn\'t seem like much, but it\'s huge when it comes to downtime.\r\n\r\nOther features to look at are the amount of disk space and bandwidth you get. Most good hosting companies offer an unlimited package, which will cost more than just $1.\r\n\r\nOf course, the best way to find a top hosting company is through customer reviews about their technical support.

Getting a website up and running requires a domain name and hosting. The expense of the domain is very cheap, but hosting can range anywhere from $1 a month up to hundreds of dollars, depending on the company and the package.\r\n\r\n<b>What is Dollar Hosting, Really?</b>\r\n\r\nDollar hosting is shared hosting offered for $1 per month. This sounds very enticing because just about anybody on the planet can afford $1 a month. However, there are some issues with this type of hosting that must be discussed.\r\n\r\nFirst, with dollar shared hosting, you don\'t get much bandwidth or transfer. This is necessary for the traffic coming to your website and if you\'re limit is low, once it\'s gone, you\'re site won\'t work anymore. Quickly, your dollar hosting could turn into a more expensive package when you pay for more bandwidth.\r\n\r\nSecond, if you plan to build more than one or two domain names, most companies offering dollar hosting won\'t give you this option. They provide some of the things you needs, but MySQL databases, FTP accounts, hosted domain names and many other options are severely limited.\r\n\r\nFinally, the support from companies offering hosting at such a low cost isn\'t worth your time. If you enjoy waiting for answers to your questions and large amounts of downtime, dollar hosting may be the right solution for you, however.\r\n\r\n<b>Cheap Hosting Equals Headaches</b>\r\n\r\nHave you ever had to call the support of a hosting company and ended up stuck on hold for what seemed like an eternity? What about emailing the company and hearing back from them three days later? These are the types of headache cheaper hosting companies provide.\r\n\r\nThere\'s a reason why shared hosting packages from the best companies in the world are more expensive than $1. Providing excellent technical support is very important with any hosting company and the right people cost money. Dollar hosting doesn\'t leave much profit for any hosting company and means they have to skimp in other areas, such as support.\r\n\r\n<b>The Truth About Dollar Hosting Support</b>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4222\" alt=\"dollar-hosting-man-two\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/dollar-hosting-man-two.jpg\" width=\"168\" height=\"168\" />Sifting through the many reviews and complaints about companies offering dollar hosting will enlighten anybody to the catastrophe they are about to walk into with this type of hosting. Some former customers have stated that instead of fixing their issues, the company just terminated their account. This isn\'t the proper way to handle a support ticket.\r\n\r\nOther issues reported with these companies include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Making is very difficult to cancel your account</li>\r\n	<li>Attempts to collect payments after you\'ve canceled your account</li>\r\n	<li>Long wait times for account information after sign up</li>\r\n	<li>Daily downtime</li>\r\n	<li>Ignored support tickets</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThese are just a few of the many complaints found when searching for reviews about various dollar hosting companies. Even members of two of the top internet marketing forums have recommended other hosting companies over these types of companies.\r\n\r\n<b>Choosing a Better Hosting Company</b>\r\n\r\nFinding a company in the hosting industry that won\'t have you pulling your hair out and popping headache medicine like Skittle\'s doesn\'t have to be difficult. The first step is throwing the price out the window and looking at the features and support.\r\n\r\nShared hosting is very cheap across the board with a range from about $1 per month to about $25 per month. Some of the more expensive packages provide features you may not need and the average website will only need to spend between $5 and $10 for hosting every month.\r\n\r\nOnce you get over trying to choose the cheapest hosting possible, you can look at what you\'re really getting with a clear mind. Most companies offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee, which is far better than just a 99% uptime guarantee. It doesn\'t seem like much, but it\'s huge when it comes to downtime.\r\n\r\nOther features to look at are the amount of disk space and bandwidth you get. Most good hosting companies offer an unlimited package, which will cost more than just $1.\r\n\r\nOf course, the best way to find a top hosting company is through customer reviews about their technical support. If a company provides excellent technical support through phone, live chat and email, they most likely provide great hosting. Make sure the support is offered 24/7, however.\r\n\r\nIf you want the best hosting possible with an experienced and award winning support team, ITX Design is the right choice for your shared hosting. You won\'t find any dollar hosting from ITX Design, but you also won\'t find any dollar support either.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Dollar Hosting','','inherit','open','closed','','4220-revision-v1','','','2014-01-10 09:31:23','2014-01-10 17:31:23','',4220,'http://itxdesign.com/4220-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4224,3,'2014-01-10 09:32:34','2014-01-10 17:32:34','','vbullet-vs-xenforo-vs-ipb-comparison-chart','','inherit','open','closed','','vbullet-vs-xenforo-vs-ipb-comparison-chart-2','','','2014-01-10 09:32:34','2014-01-10 17:32:34','',4203,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/vbullet-vs-xenforo-vs-ipb-comparison-chart1.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(4227,1,'2014-01-13 10:01:12','2014-01-13 18:01:12','<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4228\" style=\"border: none; padding: 0;\" alt=\"OsCommerce vs PrestaShop Comparison Chart\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/oscommerce-vs-prestashop-comparison-chart.png\" width=\"918\" height=\"661\" />\r\n<h3>Deciding Between osCommerce vs PrestaShop</h3>\r\nYour shopping cart decision will make a difference with both your online store and your customers.

The lawsuit was between vBulletin and XenForo and the settlement was confidential. However, the good news about it ending in early 2013, XenForo can finally move forward.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest drawbacks to using XenForo was the lack of updates. These resulted from the lawsuit, which caused the team at XenForo to halt all updates until it was finished. The settlement allows the team to move forward and we can, finally, give XenForo a fair shake in the battle between, vBulletin vs. XenForo.\r\n[one_half]<h4>What Does vBulletin Offer You?</h4>\r\nWith the newest version of vBulletin, which is vBulletin 5 Connect, you get many new features allowing you to engage with your members socially. The social functions have improved form vBulletin 4.2, along with many other features. VBulletin has long been known as the largest and the best in the arena for paid forum scripts, and it still holds that reputation.\r\n\r\nMany users find it a bit difficult, at first, but once they get used to the administration area, they find it to be one of the best systems on the market. With new features including a new site builder, new search structure, more content features, a responsive design, expanded API and an MVC architecture, this new system is far better than the previous version.\r\n\r\nThe modern design of vBulletin 5 Connect gives you the ability to drag and drop for easy editing. You can also use the Style Generator to create new custom styles and color combinations quickly. Adding this in with the reconfiguration of the search engine architecture, makes the newest version of vBulletin hard to beat.[/one_half][one_half_last]<h4>What do you get with XenForo?</h4>\r\nDesigned by two ex-vBulletin developers, Mike Sullivan and Kier Darby, this paid forum script certainly gives vBulletin a run for their money.

Without a solid hosting foundation, it won’t matter which one of these paid forum scripts you choose.\r\n\r\nShared web hosting isn’t heavy enough to fully support these two scripts as your forum grows. It may work perfect for the first few months, as you build, customize and launch your forum. However, as your members become more active, you will need better hosting.\r\n\r\nITX Design provides hosting packages for both vBulletin and XenForo.

A shopping cart easy for you to use, but difficult for your customers won’t cut it. You need one of the best choices and comparing osCommerce vs PrestaShop will help you make the right decision.\r\n\r\nThese two solutions are known as two of the top choices on the market today. They provide online stores for thousands of online businesses. Choosing between osCommerce and PrestaShop isn’t easy because both provide a great way to create your online store. However, by comparing osCommerce vs PrestaShop, it will be easier to zero in on which one fits with your specific needs.\r\n[one_half]<h4>osCommerce</h4>\r\nA well-known open-source shopping cart solution, osCommerce was created in 2000. This is one of the most flexible and scalable options you will find online. However, osCommerce has lost some popularity with many newcomers to the marketplace. The osCommerce shopping cart solution powers over 13,000 online stores and has a large community of users.[/one_half][one_half_last]<h4>PresaShop</h4>\r\nA younger, yet more popular shopping cart solution, PrestaShop powers over 125,000 online stores. This system is known as the rising star of the marketplace. They provide both easy use and intelligent design with plenty of features, functions and an excellent admin panel.[/one_half_last]\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4230\" alt=\"osCommerce vs PrestaShop Market Share\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/oscommerce-vs-prestashop-market-share.png\" width=\"501\" height=\"408\" style=\"border: 0; padding: 0; margin: 10px 0 5px 15px;\" /><h4>Benefits of Both Solutions</h4>\r\nBoth PrestaShop and osCommerce provide a free version making it easy to use either system if you’re on a budget. Any size business can benefit from either option. However, PrestaShop is designed for the small to medium sized business. Whether you need to run an online store with a hundred products of tens of thousands, both support these options. PrestaShop and osCommerce both give you a ton of extensions/plugins to use for customization of your shopping cart, as well.\r\n\r\n<h5>How osCommerce and PrestaShop Differ</h5>\r\nLooking at osCommerce vs PrestaShop, it’s easy to spot some of the major differences. PrestaShop released a stable and up-to-date version more recent than osCommerce. PrestaShop also provide more features and allows you to download, fill with products and start selling online in just a few minutes. The most important functions are ready to go and the product management system within PrestaShop is better than any other system on the market.\r\n\r\nWith osCommerce, you gain the ability to sell any number or type of products online. They support numerous languages, currencies and payment gateways. Order management is included in the system and osCommerce makes it easy to customize your store with over 7,000 extensions.\r\n<div class=\"clear\"></div>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4229\" style=\"border: 0; padding: 0; margin: 20px 0 -5px 0; \" alt=\"osCommerce vs PrestaShop\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/oscommerce-vs-prestashop.jpg\" width=\"892\" height=\"93\" />[one_half]<h4>Who Should Use osCommerce</h4>\r\nAfter comparing osCommerce vs PrestaShop, it’s clear; those with a good knowledge or programming may prefer osCommerce to PrestaShop. This will give you more customization options, but if you don’t understand programming language, you will be lost with most of the features of osCommerce.[/one_half][one_half_last]\r\n<h4>Who Should Use PrestaShop?</h4>\r\nSmall to medium sized businesses and those looking to set up their shopping cart should choose PrestaShop. This shopping cart solution is far easier to set up than osCommerce and will provide more plugins, customization features and overall features than osCommerce. Even some larger businesses will prefer the flexibility and ease of use from PrestaShop compared to osCommerce.[/one_half_last]\r\n<h4>Starting with the Right Hosting Package</h4>\r\nITX Design is dedicated to providing you with the right hosting for any shopping cart solution you choose.

VBulletin has long been known as the largest and the best in the arena for paid forum scripts, and it still holds that reputation.\r\n\r\nMany users find it a bit difficult, at first, but once they get used to the administration area, they find it to be one of the best systems on the market. With new features including a new site builder, new search structure, more content features, a responsive design, expanded API and an MVC architecture, this new system is far better than the previous version.\r\n\r\nThe modern design of vBulletin 5 Connect gives you the ability to drag and drop for easy editing. You can also use the Style Generator to create new custom styles and color combinations quickly. Adding this in with the reconfiguration of the search engine architecture, makes the newest version of vBulletin hard to beat.[/one_half][one_half_last]<h4>What do you get with XenForo?</h4>\r\nDesigned by two ex-vBulletin developers, Mike Sullivan and Kier Darby, this paid forum script certainly gives vBulletin a run for their money. It is built on the Zend Framework, which used to just have a promising future, but with the lawsuit ending, it’s taken the industry by storm. Although, the newest XenForo release, 1.2.1, still has some bugs to be worked out, it’s quite powerful.\r\n\r\nXenForo will allow for easy social engagement, provides excellent customization tools and gives developers the option to edit the HTML and CSS without any code changes necessary. This makes it a very powerful system and the add-ons available make it customizable for nearly any forum project.\r\n\r\nMore updates have been promised for XenForo and it’s no longer lurking in the shadows waiting for the opportunity to move forward. Many believe vBulletin was trying to run the company out of money with the lawsuit, but that hasn’t worked. XenForo has a bright future and can certainly compete with vBulletin now.[/one_half_last]\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/vbulletin-vs-xenforo.png\" alt=\"vBulletin vs XenForo\" width=\"893\" height=\"109\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4241\" style=\"border:0;padding:0\" />\r\n<h4>Which is the Best Choice Between vBulletin vs. XenForo?</h4>\r\nThe overall winner of this battle is still vBulletin, but XenForo is coming on fast.

The lawsuit was between vBulletin and XenForo and the settlement was confidential. However, the good news about it ending in early 2013, XenForo can finally move forward.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest drawbacks to using XenForo was the lack of updates. These resulted from the lawsuit, which caused the team at XenForo to halt all updates until it was finished.
