Reading Time: 7 minutes It’s a well-known fact that any web hosting provider is probably able to register a domain name for you. But should anyone take that to mean that registering theirs with just any provider will do? Not all Canadian web hosts are equal, and more than 20 years in the business gives us the authority to make that assertion plus state that we’re one of the best Canadian web hosting providers available to people these days. A domain registrar may seem like a very rudimentary thing once you’ve decided on a domain name, but there are advantages to doing it as part of getting the best price on web hosting in Canada. This may be the point where some of you will say that of course we will be advising you that way, but there really is something to the insistence that is makes sense to do both your domain name purchase and domain registrar through a reputable web hosting provider. And it’s not just the possibility of auto-renewals each year to make sure you can keep a domain name permanently. That’s something that nearly every provider will offer too. Instead it’s more related to the bigger picture of you taking your business or whatever else it is you’ve got and moving it online for better reach with customers or other interest groups depending on the nature of your website and your interests with it. So with that understood what we’re going to look at with this week’s blog entry is the top 5 considerations you should be weighing before choosing a domain name registrar. We talked in a recent blog entry here about how a .ca domain is often best for any website representing a business or venture in Canada. Dot com domains may still be the standard and the most ubiquitous of all of them, but there are times when it is very advantageous to be prominently identifying yourself as Canadian with a .ca domain, and as you’d guess we are always the best choice for registering a .ca domain name in Canada.

Reading Time: 11 minutes For a good long time after the Internet got its start the only type of domain extension that was available for websites was a .com extension. It’s still the most ubiquitous and popular among them, but nowadays there are all sorts of domain extensions and the most notable ones are all the ones that are country specific. While the .org and .biz types have 3 letters to them just like the .com extension, all of the country ones will just be two letters after the dot. A .ca extension is advisable for businesses in Canada, and we encourage you to discover the benefits of a .ca domain today. This is part of the broader topic we’re going to look at with this week’s blog entry here, and it will be more about Canadian business marketing tips online. No one is going to need to be made aware of how essential it is to have a strong online presence for a business nowadays, and here at 4GoodHosting that’s the reason we have many of the Canadian web hosting clients that we do. You need to have quality website for your business, and it needs to have reliable web hosting behind it so that it is available to prospective customers 24 hours a day. This is because what would be considered local businesses are only local in the physical sense of the term – they’re often taking orders or however else it is they do business from all across the country and possibly even outside of it. Local business growth strategies are going to be built on the idea that not much is explicitly local anymore when it comes to all of this. One of the things that the nature of our business provides for us is a lot of insight into what works well and what doesn’t with local SEO strategies in Canada. We say that fully aware of the fact that what defines ‘good’ SEO is changing all the time, and in fairness that’s the way it should be.

Reading Time: 9 minutes People draw curtains or close blinds because they want privacy, and in other instances it’s because they’re looking to be kept out of the light of the sun. But when they lock doors they are taking it to a different level and no part of their interest is in shade from anything. They’re wanting to have an uncrossable barrier between themselves and the outside world, and one of the principal appeal points of being indoors is being able to have that. It can keep you safe, and it can also make sure your belongings stay in your possession. Both aspects of that can be related to when we frame that from the perspective of cyber security. The reason that website security protocols and the like are necessary is because there are more cyber security threats than ever before and without these protocols there will be unauthorized access to your website. And once the threat actors are in there is no telling what they might get up to. One of the more serious risks is data theft from a website, and assuring people you have the means of defending against that is going to be expected with VPS hosting Canada with 24/7 support. Web hosting providers need to have web security protocols built into their hosting servers and these days it’s necessary to offer this to prospective customers. We’re able to provide that assurance with out VPS web hosting here at 4GoodHosting, and we put a real emphasis on staying at the forefront with secure web hosting in Canada. So what we’re going to do with this week’s blog entry here is talk about the best data security practices for VPS servers. It is a topic that will be of interest for anyone who has a website for a growing business that is moving to VPS hosting because their current shared hosting arrangement isn’t a fit because of traffic spikes to the website – a good problem to have to be sure if you have an ecommerce website and you’re online to promote the growth of your business. More high-performance web hosting is where they need to be looking. Look To...

Reading Time: 25 minutes You’ve got to be online if you have aims for whatever it is you’ve got to be going somewhere, and the fact is that if you don’t have a website you’ll be going pretty much nowhere nowadays. No matter what it may be, if people are looking for it they are going to be searching for it on the web first and that’s where you need to be with an attractive and appealing website for them to find. This is especially true for business, but finding the best website platform is also going to be the focus for people with any type of self-interest project. That website will of course require reliable web hosting and for that you need the best web hosting provider in Canada. We’ve gone on about 4GoodHosting at length to that end, and we continue to be anyone’s top choice as a Canadian web hosting provider. But we’ll stray from that focus with this week’s entry and instead provide a website builder comparison for anyone who realizes they need a good website but want to avoid the high expense of having it built for them. The two that most people will know of are the most well known for very good reasons; both WordPress and Wix are solid choices for someone who wants to build your own website. So Wix vs WordPress is what we’re going to look at here and with a view to helping you choose which might be best for you as you start building your website. If you read about this online the one consensus you will see that is pretty much unanimous is that if all you need is a simple and functional website that still looks fairly good then you can absolutely built it yourself. Top Considerations The reason people will want to create a website will vary. Common ones will be for business, a personal blog, or a side project. Not knowing which website platform to use is a fairly standard issue for people, especially if they’re not web savvy at all. Dig into this on the web and it is likely that in no time at all you...

Reading Time: 9 minutes 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...

Reading Time: 11 minutes 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.

Reading Time: 13 minutes Buying a home with an unfinished business presents the opportunity to create a mortgage helper, and of course what we’re talking about is having a secondary suite in your home that you’re able to rent out. That’s especially common here in Vancouver, although the astronomical costs people pay to carry a mortgage here has nothing to do with why 4GoodHosting is always tops for Vancouver hosting. There’s also no connection to reseller hosting marketing with that, but that’s going to be our focus here for this blog entry. Now if you’re someone who is a regular reader here it is likely that there aren’t many if any terms related to web hosting you’re not familiar with. Reseller hosting may be one of them though, so before we go any further with this let’s provide a definition for those of you who might need it. It is also called white label hosting, meaning that it’s hosting that is owned by one but has another’s name on it. So to speak, but as a more functional definition it is when someone rents server space, software, and bandwidth from another individual or entity at wholesale prices, and then resell the resources for profit to someone looking to build a website. It essentially works in much the same way as the rental suite analogy we provided earlier – they’ve got more space than they need included in their web hosting package, but moving down to a lower one would mean they wouldn’t have enough. The additional unneeded space is then made available for resale, and there you have it – reseller hosting. Reseller hosting sales can become its own business when an entity will have several web hosting arrangements being paid for every month and most of them will be for separate sites, apps, or other internet-based ventures. When you’ve got plenty of bandwidth to spare, you start focusing on reseller business promotion. What we’re going to do here is tailor this communication to individuals or companies that are in that position, and lay out 7 strategies to market your reseller hosting business. Let’s get right into it. More All the Time Over recent...
