Web Hosting Server - What to look for
By Brian Thorn
As with any service, the question of what to look for in server packages depends largely on the goals you have. If you have a company in need of a server host, your needs are naturally going to be much different than if you are an individual looking for a server host.
To get a basic understanding of what to look for in server packages, you should first understand what is meant by server hosting. On a very basic level, computers simply communicate with other computers in order to get information delivered to your screen. In order to view any Internet page - including this one - you either ran a search or typed in an Internet address and the page appeared. In order for the page to appear on your screen, your computer communicated the request to another computer. In this situation, your computer is called a "client" or "user" computer. The other computer is called the "server" computer. A server host is a company that provides some services for those server computers, usually in the form of housing the computers, maintaining hardware and sometimes even maintenance of programming.
If you have a company and are in the market for server packages, you first need to make a list of your specific requirements. Amount of space, services and speed are probably among the most important aspects of what to look for
in server packages. As you decide what you want from your server host, you should consider not only the current needs but also the future needs of your company. Do you expect to expand some day? Are you going to need a bigger website with more features at some point? Sometimes, web hosts limit users to "static" websites, while others allow for interactive sites. Remember that an interactive web page will typically require more space but will be more likely to draw visitors to stop by again.
Especially if you have no one on staff who is computer savvy, server maintenance, website design and other services might be an important part of what to look for in server packages. It could be a great benefit to you if you can describe what you want and be handed a finished project, ready to start serving customers. Remember that your business will not likely stay exactly the same and you might find yourself in need of additional services - interactive website design, increased security or greater flexibility in e-mail accounts. Finding a server pack from a company that can provide any services you might need is important for a fledgling company. It's also a good idea to assure yourself as much as possible that the company you choose to be your server host can keep pace if your company does grow.
As you consider other things to look for in server hosting, remember that you are the customer and the company you are considering should have great customer service. You should read reviews on many of the major server hosts, and you can likely find others who are using that server host and will attest to the reliability (or unreliability, as the case may be) of the company's dedication to solving problems in a timely manner. After all, even the best in the world isn't going to benefit you if you can't get problems solved.

Redwood City, California - (The Hosting News) - January 8, 2009 - Dedicated Server solutions firm, LinMin, has introduced its Bare Metal Provisioning 5.3, including One-Click Provisioning Role Creation, and support for the latest Linux Releases.
Including Red Hat, Novell, Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE and CentOS, LinMin's average price of under $10 per system, is designed to fuel the growing LinMin acceptance in enterprise, hosting and Cloud Computing data centers, impacted by shrinking IT budgets in these economic times.
The release of 5.3, features an enhanced user interface that makes it even easier for first time users to remotely install Linux and Windows on servers, blades, workstations and virtual machines within minutes of downloading the product.
Laurent Gharda, CEO and founder of LinMin Corp. noted, ''Ease of use is too often overlooked by providers of systems management solutions that cater to IT domain experts rather than to all IT users. LinMin's approach is to simplify things as much as possible, hide the underlying complexity and let the user get a job done quickly and without errors. One-Click provisioning role creation is a representative example of this philosophy whereby users don't need to know the intricate differences between provisioning Red Hat, Novell, Windows or Ubuntu. Simply point, click and you're ready to remotely install an operating system on systems of your choice.''
LinMin 5.3 also includes provisioning support for recently released or soon to be released Linux distributions including 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3, Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 and 10 SP3, Ubuntu 8.10, Fedora 10, OpenSUSE 11.1 and CentOS 5.3, as well as 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003. The combination of breadth of platform support (www.linmin.com/site/platforms.html), ease of use and affordability all contribute to LinMin's adoption in companies from AT and T and Kodak to small and midsized hosting companies.
Browser-based One-Click provisioning role creation detects what operating system media has been uploaded in the LinMin server and automatically completes the form with paths to all relevant files needed to provision systems. The user no longer needs to reference printed documentation, rely on memory or navigate up and down the operating system media to locate files. This feature essentially eliminates the possibility of human error for standard Windows and Linux deployments.
LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning is available for purchase and download at www.LinMin.com. LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning for Linux and Windows is priced at $249 for up to 10 client systems, $999 for up to 100 client systems, $1,999 for up to 250 client systems, $3,499 for up to 500 client systems and $5,999 for up to 1,000 client systems.
LinMin provides software that remotely provisions and images Linux and Windows on servers, blades, PCs, appliances and virtual machines. LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning (LBMP) is the industry's only truly affordable system provisioning and imaging solution that can be implemented by IT organizations of any size with very limited budgets.
