Sharing is certainly a virtuous and admirable choice if you choose to pass along some of what you have to another who needs it. But even those who are inclined to share will only agree to it if they have enough to ‘spare’, meaning that there’s a certain amount or quantity of whatever it is that’s needed for their requirements to be met. If we’re to look at this in relation to web hosting and affordable VPS hosting in Canada there are going to be minimum resource requirements for a website to operate fully functionally. If those requirements are met within a shared web hosting arrangement then all is fine and well. Sharing the available resources with other sites in shared hosting becomes doable and of course it’s the most affordable type of web hosting that a person can have for their website. Where this most commonly isn’t a fit is for any larger site that is used for eCommerce purposes – meaning that business is conducted through the site, and sales most specifically. It’s going to be preferable if these sites see lots of traffic with customers looking to make purchases, and when traffic spikes this is when a site can be inaccessible for people when it is hosted on shared hosting. There are other examples where there’s insufficient resource and bandwidth availability through shared hosting, and it is for all these reasons that a virtual private server may be the wiser choice for a website. Yes, a VPS will be more expensive but from many it is an expense they have to be willing to pay. VPS servers can still be in line with green web hosting Canada, especially when the web hosting provider has implemented energy saving and efficiency measures with their servers. These days most Canadian web hosting providers are doing just that, and it’s a good selling point for VPS here at 4GoodHosting too. We could go on extolling the benefits of VPS servers in more general ways, but what we’ll do here instead with this blog entry is give you 8 solid use cases for VPS servers that will highlight real working-world examples that...

It is always going to be case that the economies of certain countries are stronger than those of others, and without going to far into International economics this is the reason why the currency of one country is unlikely to be ‘on par’ with that of another. The dollar of one is going to have more value than the dollar of another, and here in Canada it’s been a long, long time since the Canadian dollars was even close to being equal with the US dollar. It did come close once, but that was over 20 years ago. In the current economic forecast that is very unlikely to ever happen again, but of course none of this has anything to do with a Canada-based web hosting provider or anything that we’d be discussing here with our weekly blog entries. But the discrepancies in value between one currency and another is very much of ongoing interest to anyone who is a Forex trader. Forex stands for foreign exchange, and if you’re asking what is Forex trading it is the trading of one currency for another. With a layperson’s understanding it might seem simple and straightforward given the currency that is worth more will have more value, but the key to effective Forex trading is understanding the quantity of currency to be exchanged and then pairing this with future projection for value – less or more of it. It’s not simple at all, but people who trade in foreign exchanges are willing to take risks and some people do get darn good at it. Those doing it on a bigger scale may be doing it ongoingly through the means of website for Forex trading. If you’re the person behind that website there is a lot to be said for the best VPS hosting for small businesses in Canada, and that includes virtual private servers for Forex traders. So what we’re going to look at with this week’s entry is why VPS servers are best for sites that are designed for Forex trading online and what webmasters can pass along to interested individuals in promoting their site as a better a choice for...

When artificial intelligence first started making its presence known we were all told that before long it would be incorporating itself into nearly everything, and of course that’s proven to be entirely true. Some people say that’s a cause for concern, and whether or not that’s true would need to be the subject of another discussion entirely. But it is indisputable that the analytical and evaluative capacities of AI have been hugely beneficial to the working world, and that does able to web hosting in Canada too. Whether we like it or not, at this point in the game it is true that synthetic smarts are outdistancing natural smarts in a big way. Even collectively human brainpower can’t match up with AI in certain aspects of the working world where decisions need to be made based on an understanding of the information available. That doesn’t apply to ever corner of it, but when it comes higher-level linear thinking it certainly does. It is also entirely true to say that AI is more adept and capable with making executive decisions about how machine learning should be directed. This part of it is key in how AI improves website security when it is utilized by your host. You will always be looking for an affordable hosting provider in Canada, but you’ll also want to have one that is known for having solid security against cyber threats. Especially if your website is an ecommerce one and you need to be receiving sensitive financial data from customers. Here at 4GoodHosting we are always keeping ourselves at the forefront of technologies and trends in web hosting, and as such we have been open to incorporating AI in web hosting right from the start. We’ve done just that, and nowhere is it more notable than with our virtual private servers (VPS) that are very popular with those types of bigger and more traffic-heavy ecommerce websites that we talked about earlier. So this is what we’re going to talk about with this blog entry, looking specifically at how AI can improve web hosting security.
