Chapter 8: Web Hosting Bandwith and File Transfer Protocol 


 What Is Bandwidth?

Bandwidth is the measure of maximum data that can be transferred by your hosting account in a given time, usually measured in seconds.

The term “bandwidth” should not be mixed up with “data transfer” as they are two very different things. Data transfer refers to the consumption of bandwidth. In layman terms, the amount of data being transferred is ‘data transfer’; while the rate of data being transferred is ‘bandwidth’.

Data transfer and bandwidth limit used to be a big thing when it comes to choosing a good web host in the past (I wrote a tutorial and a math formula on how to calculate site bandwidth here). Not now anymore. As the average cost of data transfer go lower and lower, hosting companies nowadays are very generous in term of data transfer limit. So, unless you are running a large movie download sites,  I wouldn’t stretch myself too thin on bandwidth and data transfer when selecting a web hosting service.

What Is File Transfer Protocol (FTP)?

FTP is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one computer to another over Internet. Webmasters use FTP clients like FTP Pro and Cute FTP to upload and download files to/from their hosting server.

Here is a list of popular FTP clients: Smart FTP, File Zilla, Cute FTP, and core FTP.

The name is client but what it actually does is to connect to your server using FTP and allow you to easily browse and transfer files online.

Chapter 7: Domain Privacy

Chapter 7: Domain Privacy WhoIs data and domain privacy: Do you need it? Every domain name has a publicly accessible record that includes the owner’s personal information such as owner name, contact number, mailing address, and domain registration as well as expiry date. It’s called a WhoIs record and lists the registrant and contacts for the domain. As required by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the domain owners must make these contact information available on WHOIS directories. These records are available anytime to anyone who does a simple WhoIs lookup. In other words, if someone wants to know who owns a Web site, all they to do is run a quick WHOIS search, type the domain name and voila, they have access to the Web site registration details. So, why is this a big deal? Your domain record may also be used in ways that aren’t legitimate or desirable. Since anyone can look up a WhoIs record, spammers, hackers, identity thieves and stalkers ma...
