First of all, Happy 4^th of July and sorry for the lateness. Now, one day after the greatest day of the US, 4^th of July, here I am today to report our June uptime record for both new cluster Premium Hosting performance and the old cluster web hosting. As usual, let me begin with the best first.

Premium Uptime Record

As you can review in the table above, our Premium Hosting performance for almost all services reached out 100% uptime except the HTTP service, which was about 99.989% ok and 0.011% critical. Based on this report, we believe that we have proven that we have given premium service in our Premium Hosting plans.

Overall, our premium hosting performance reached 99.998% uptime in June 2009 and just had 0.002% critical time due to the regular server maintenance to improve further service.

Regular Web Hosting Uptime

On the other hand, our old cluster web hosting reached out 99.989% ok time for all services including FTP, HTTP, MySQL, SMTP, and POP and just had 0.011% critical time. This was resulted from the regular scheduled maintenance.

Averagely, as you may have seen in the table, our web hosting service was 99.989%, which was 99.99% when it is rounded off, reaching out the regular standard of web hosting performance. This is of course  still not as good as our Premium Hosting. However, we will not stop to improve providing you better web hosting environment.

Gabrielle

As you surely have known, we launched our Premium Hosting service in November 2008 - offering 3 UNIX and 3 Windows plans with the latest technological standards for both UNIX and Windows, all brand new IBM Xseries Blade Server, and fast premium support.

These Premium Hosting has become a hit not long after it was launched. However, there have been some asking, “why can’t you decrease the price? We are not ready to take that price”. As the answer and request to the question, we have two solutions, promo and our new Premium Hosting Lite.

What is Premium Hosting Lite?
Premium Hosting Lite is a “baby” version of Premium Hosting or, smaller but sufficient resources Premium Hosting plans. Premium Hosting Lite consists of two plans, which is one for each platform (UNIX and Windows) - Advance Lite and Business Lite.

These two plans are the babies form of Premium Advance (UNIX) and Premium Business (Windows) that provide you with sufficient resources you can use for your  website needs. You get the same exact features, the same IBM Xseries Blade Server, and the same  quick fix premium support.

For resources, Premium Lite allows one domain hosted, 2 subdomains, 400 MB storage, 50 GB bandwidth, 1 MySQL database, 1 MS-SQL database (for Windows), and 15 sub-ftp accounts, you can start up a wonderful website of your own with reliable performance.

With Premium Lite, users can start their website with all the features in Premium Hosting and sufficient resources. And when their website grows more and more, upgrade to the “adult” Premium Hosting is always an option when they need much bigger resources.

Talking about the use of No Follow tag in your site, that is actually one of PageRank sculpting strategies, which is an effort to try changing on how the page rank flow within a website with various methods - one of which is adding No Follow tag.

Unfortunately, even though you add no follow tag to the links, sometimes it is still not effective and it can still leak page rank. And this means you should do PageRank Sculpting properly, more than just adding No Follow tag.

More about Page Rank Sculpting

Maybe some of you are still confused on how PageRank Sculpting works, I was too. Let’s have a look on how it goes. For example, your website page rank in Google is 6.

If later this website links to 3 other pages inside the website, it will share equal amounts of its PageRank to the destinations pages or links. So, each page will get 2 of its 6 PageRank points. However, if you do PageRank sculpting with No Follow tags, the result will be different.

PageRank Sculpting uses nofollow tags on the links to control where the PageRank value flows within a site. So if two of the links above had nofollow tags added, then the other page would get bigger points than when it was shared for three links.

With this strategy, you can manage the PageRank of your certain web pages in your website by controlling the PageRank flow.

This PageRank Sculpting idea will enable you to decide on what to do with your Page Rank wisely.

In link building, blogs and articles are two of the most important strategies in building link back to your website. You write your blogs and articles, and then you submit them to article submission sites with back links to your original website. However, now the question is, when you blog or write, which one do you prioritize, quality or quantity?

Quality

For me, this is significant to prioritize. And I know some other bloggers and writers also say the same, that it is important to maintain quality in your blog or article content. Some people say, “No need to blog and write everyday. As long as you can maintain quality, few a week have been quite enough.” I believe it is definitely true. What’s writing everyday if you just write anything without quality?

I’ve experienced that it is sometimes hard to find a new fresh and interesting topic everyday to write. I am sure that although you cannot make it everyday and just make few in one week, it is still helping you in gaining traffic as long as you write with good quality content.

Quantity

As some people are sure it is better to maintain quality more than quantity, some others are sure that it is significant to write or blog everyday and submit everyday. They are still sure that the more you have for blogs and articles, the more back links you get to your website, which means the more traffic you drive to your site.

This is not a wrong idea. You can and should write everyday if you are sure that you can still maintain the quality of your blogs and articles. If you are able to do that, then I will tell you that both quality and quantity are important.

What’s Actually My Point?

From all these, I will conclude that the most important in writing and blogging is quality. However, when you can combine both quality and quantity in your articles and blogs, it is always a better idea.

Twitter has become a more and more popular social networking site for a company or organization. Many businesses now use twitter to provide updates and drive more traffic to their website. They create their Twitter acount and start their strategies. But how can you possibly gain traffic from Twitter?

Gain Your Followers

Before you can gain traffic to your site with Twitter, you should gain your followers first. There are following and follower in twitter. Following is when you follow people and then you can see their updates everytime they update the 140 character update box.

Followers are those following you in Twitter and seeing your updates everytime you provide updates with what’s going on with your company or organization. The more followers you get, the more people will see what’s going on with you and when they are curious, they will visit your website.

You can get followers by first inviting your own friends to follow you. Besides, you can follow people first, like those with the same similar nature as your organization or industry, or your friends. When you follow them, they’ll have a look at your profile and if they are interested, they’ll follow you back.

Provide Updates Regularly

This is the next step you should do to drive more traffic to your website with Twitter. In the update box, never forget to provide updates about what you’d like others to know so that your followers or other users visiting your profile.

Provide any updates about anything new in your company or organization. It can be new products, new services, new events, new promotion, or anything. Just ensure that your Twitter account is updated routinely with interesting stuffs because this is how you will attract people to visit your site.

When you have done these two steps properly, I am sure that traffic will flow like water to your website from Twitter. So, do your best and have fun twittering now.

Control Panel is the most important tool in web hosting service. Earlier, I wrote about how H-SPHERE defeats all Control Panels with its complete features. However, I realize that still many users look for CPanel. They say that CPanel is more suitable for them to use. What do they look for in CPanel?

Simpler User Interface (User Friendly)
This is the first that people look for in Cpanel, user friendly interface. People say that Cpanel has very easy to use features that make web hosting service worth its price. You get to use friendly web based interface that is suitable for beginners to professionals. You don’t have to worry about complicated Control Panel. Even that you still begin to learn about web hosting, you can manage your web hosting account without any hassle (hassle-free).

Fantastico Scripts
Fantastico is the other feature that users must want so much when they use CPanel, Fantastico. This feature offers you numerous ready to use scripts that you can install within minutes, with few clicks of your mouse only. The scripts are various - blog, forum, content management, etc. There is no worry for complicated installations. Even, the blindest person in web hosting can install fantastico scripts easily. In H-SPHERE, you will find the scripts in EasyApps, different name but the same feature.

With these two helpful abilities that CPanel offers to web hosting users, who will not look for them. Everybody looks for simplicity, everybody looks for no hassle, and everybody looks for easiness. The only minus that CPanel has might be only that it can only offer UNIX web hosting plans and still not available for Windows. However, being simple and easy to use are still a good offer.
