Most likely not. That is why a hosted website builder application is a good tool for anybody who has a website and and need to make occasional changes.

Having a website is one of the first steps towards business growth and success. It is pretty much imperative for most every business to have an attractive and easy to use website to promote their services and products. However, developing a website from scratch is a time-consuming task.
No need to feel bad. Most people lack basic knowledge of web designing and all the various commercial or shareware utilities and tools with which a website is created. Even less people have code programming and editing skills.

Windows VPS is a server virtualization software that uses Windows technology on high performance multi-cpu hardware. A VPS arrangement creates a virtual server inside a physical server. For many people, especially businesses, Windows VPS offers several advantages. Each windows virtual server is indistinguishable from a real standalone server. 4GoodHosting has the infrastructure and expertise to create many of these digital servers utilizing a single high-performance server machine. And we have many such server racks in our datacenters.

This allows us to offer fairly inexpensive packages for other companies; which enables our server clients to create and run complex websites, control large amounts of data, and stream a variety of adaptable services. Windows VPS hosting also allows you to run as many websites on your server as you wish for/can manage. The primary advantages in addition to the cost savings are increased resources and scalability. VPS servers are created in a virtual state so VPSs can be quickly and easily scaled or “beefed-up” as, and when, needed. The working of 1 virtual server does not affect any neighboring digital servers.

There are various reasons and benefits that your website will get when you get a hosting service from Canada when compared other countries, especially the United States.

The first and foremost reason is that, as a Canadian, choosing a service from Canada, you keep your dollars in Canada. This amount is small but the act shows you are loyal to your country. Yet there are some other points that you need to consider. One of the top most reasons that come to many people around the world as an effect of Snowden NSA-leaks is data and personal privacy. Hence, 80% of Internet traffic is routed through US servers and 8/10 of the Internet fiber optic bone links flow in and out of US. It is difficult to have the data and usage guarded totally by NSA surveillance as of today. However, having your website files stored within Canada, and the ability to directly connected to your local Canadian webserver., reduces the chance that your personal information has been read and/or stored by state-actor spies or otherwise malicious entities.

Today, many Asian, American, European and Middle-Eastern companies are looking for Canadian web hosting service providers for hosting their business applications and mission-critical websites. The reasons vary across companies, but since 2012 and 2013 4GoodHosting is consistently signing up more customers from US and other countries and it’s only been speeding up.

4GHadmin | 01 July 2014

PhpMyAdmin database

On modern websites, information is often stored within databases (db’s) instead of directories on a web server. Therefore, simply storing your website’s files into directories of your website won’t deliver all the data your website application presents and also needs to operate.

So you should occasionally carry out a database backup. If you utilize a MySQL database, you should use phpMyAdmin to backup your database from inside its graphical interface.

To backup your MySQL database with phpMyAdmin, try this procedure:

1. Login to phpMyAdmin. It is possible to find it via your hosting control panel, such as cPanel.

2. Click the database name for the left column in the page.

3. Click on the Export tab at the top of the phpmyadmin page.
