Reading Time: 9 minutes WordPress has undeniably transformed millions of pages into a digital masterpiece. However, it might come to you as a question as to whether you do the management by yourself or enlist a hosting provider to do the hard work for you. If you think you don’t have the time and required expertise to do it yourself and you’re looking for premier WordPress hosting Canada, your search ends with 4GoodHosting. As the most preferred Canada hosting provider, we offer scalable traditional and managed hosting with competitive pricing. In this article, we will talk about why performance and uptime matter in the digital landscape. Moreover, we will explore the transformative impact of our Managed WordPress on individuals and businesses. Why Are Performance and Uptime Important? Besides high-quality and reliable content, performance and uptime are your website’s lifeline. Whether you’re an individual or a business using WordPress as your website’s platform, your visitors will consider how fast your pages load and how frequently your site is available. If your website is slow to load, your website visitors will get frustrated and exit your page right away—this will lead to zero to low conversion rates. At the same time, if your website is always unavailable, visitors will think that your site is unreliable or not maintained properly, which will lead to negative user experiences. On the other hand, performance and uptime matter to search engines like Google. Search engines love fast-loading sites and they rank these pages higher than those of slow-loading websites. This contributes to increased online visibility and wide audience reach or more organic traffic How Does Managed WordPress Hosting at 4GoodHosting Impact Performance and Uptime? Time is of the essence, specifically when we’re talking about the digital arena. Your website is your potential customer’s portal to your brand. So, it’s essential to ensure that your site’s performance is non-negotiable.

Reading Time: 13 minutes Proximity is preferable when it comes to so many aspects of operating a business or a venture. There are benefits when you or one of the resources you need for your operations is close by and more readily accessible because of it. This can be in reference to tangible resources, but it can also be referring to ones that you’re not able to put your hands on. Web hosting is an infinitely valuable resource for any business or venture these days given the predominant nature of the Web when it comes to generating business and clientele. As you’d expect we’re talking about Linux web hosting, and if you are able to have your web host’s servers physically near to you then there are a number of significant benefits that come with that. It’s the reason that the best Canadian web hosting providers will have more than one physical data center, and for us here at 4GoodHosting it’s why we established ones in Vancouver and Toronto many years ago. Sites hosted through us will have one of them reasonably close depending on whether they’re found on the East or West side of what is a very large and very wide country. Whether that’s for the ultimate Linux hosting with cPanel Vancouver or for the same type of hosting in Halifax or St. John’s the benefits are extended the same way. Uptime guarantees are going to be front and center with all of this, but what fewer people will know is that server proximity factors into SEO too. We don’t need to explain how SEO is everything if you are in business online and having yourself be clearly and prominently visible in front of people who may be looking for a retailer or service provider like you online. Server location certainly does play a role in website performance and SEO, and no one should be assuming that these proximity effects won’t also be benefiting Linux shared hosting plan members. You don’t need to be on a VPS to enjoy server proximity benefits. Geographical Distance Server location is a term for the physical location of the data center or server where your website’s...

Reading Time: 4 minutes Our Canadian Windows VPS, or virtual private server hosting, allows a company to upgrade from regular hosting options to more configurable resources that allows them to deploy full applications and eCommerce models without having to pay the high costs of a dedicated server or dedicated hosting arrangement. 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. A VPS is are also ideal for customers that are not sure how much web traffic they need to plan for. You will receive your own dedicated IP; and extra IPs can be requested and configured as needed. Another advantage is RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol connectivity). Do you need to access your server almost as if it was sitting under your desk? Well, it is entirely possible to view and manage your server through your remote monitor. We supply the instructions and support for you on how to do that. We create Windows Server 2008 or 2012 Standard 32 or 64bit VPSs, depending on your preference. This is very much like the familiar windows interface you are comfortable with if you have used the windows on a desktop computer. These Windows operating systems uses...

Reading Time: 14 minutes One of the nicest things you can say about a coworker is that they work well with others and that they’ve got the right amount of flexibility to them and a willingness to adapt. A web hosting OS is never going to be an animate being, but if Linux was a person you can bet there would be others giving these same accolades to it. The one thing anyone who is an expert in web hosting will tell you is that Linux is the most flexible and readily adaptable OS for web hosting. There’s no other one that is so accommodating of such a wide array of website types. Indeed, the benefits of Linux VPS hosting stretch far and wide and that’s exactly why the majority of good Canadian web hosting providers are going to have Linux-based servers laying the foundation for websites that need their spot on the web and want to be on the most solid of footing with that. It also tends to be less expensive, and this is why there’s even more affordability in the equation when we talk about affordable Linux VPS hosting Edmonton. Or anywhere else in Canada for that matter, because it’s not just folks in the Northernmost big city in Canada who need to be mindful of budget constraints when operating their business. Reliable web hosting is a must, but where can it be had for the absolute best price. For Linux VPS hosting we are very comfortable saying that it will be right here with 4GoodHosting, and this will be the same truth for any city of any size in Canada. From there the next thing to say is that not all sites are the same, and some will have features or components that mean they need more in the way of resources. You might want to think of that as ‘elbow room’ for sites that need it, but this is exactly why VPS hosting is better when a site needs that space. There are options with that, but as always we think having a Linux OS for it is the way to go. So what we’ll do here for this...

Reading Time: 8 minutes There will always be matters of personal taste factoring into web design. When it comes to the widespread trends with it, however, the greatest driver of uniformity between sites and their infrastructure is desirable functionality. The extent to which that functionality works well increasingly has to do with what type of web hosting OS the Canadian web hosting provider is employing with their hosting server choices, and in the here and now the runaway winner in that regards is Linux website hosting Canada. This is because of the way it can functionally accommodate the greatest variety of sites. And whether or not that is possible is based on what type of site you’re bringing online. WordPress sites will continue to have the best made available for them with managed WordPress hosting in Canada. But the proliferation of WordPress sites and the way they can be nearly as well accommodated with Linux OS hosting is just the first testament to how Linux web hosting is the most reliable choice for today’s digital landscape. An explanation as to why that is will be what we’ll provide with this blog entry here, and in comparison to last week’s we won’t look past Linux shared hosting as an option in favor of Linux VPS hosting to the same extent. For smaller and less-dynamic sites that don’t have much in the way of requirements for page loads and the like and lower traffic volume flows there’s absolutely nothing wrong with shared web hosting plans when they’re on a Linux web hosting OS. Mega Bird We don’t need to be starting at the start here and stating that choosing web hosting is an important decision that any small to medium-sized business needs to evaluate to a necessary extent. But we’ve seen and heard how much of the time Linux hosting is the best and most suitable fit for website building, blog, portfolio, or any other online venture. As well alluded to at the beginning here it is true than Linux website hosting Canada has in some ways become the default choice for web hosting providers, but it’s not only because of the way it usually sets...

It wasn’t all that long ago that taking your business online and selling goods or services there in the e-commerce capacity was optional. Not any more – now being engaged in e-commerce is pretty much a necessity if you want your business to be able to compete. This is the long and short of why businesses have websites, and more often that not the best Linux web hosting is powering these sites courtesy of the Canadian web hosting providers they’re working with. The reason most providers will employ Linux servers is because it is the consensus best choice among web hosting operating systems. It does the best job of accommodating different types of websites and giving them the resources they need.

Without going into too much detail, Linux servers contribute to end users paying less for web hosting in Canada and that’s true for the USA and elsewhere too. People who have their websites to further business interests will be operating-cost sensitive a lot of the time, so this another part of what makes Linux best for e-commerce sites. So what we’ll do with this entry here is look at the best Linux web hosting in Canada and what are the advantages that come with the features and contribute to so many e-commerce sites having Linux web hosting behind them.

Reading Time: 6 minutes Things change quickly in the digital world, and what was barely even on the radar can become a front and center issue overnight in some cases. Go back 10 years and the issue of privacy in web browsing wasn’t something the vast majority of people paid even the slightest bit of attention to. Nowadays, however, it’s definitely a hot-button topic given all the news that’s come out about web browsing histories and the like being tracked, monitored, and then made available to whoever doesn’t mind paying for information about what people like YOU search for online. Some people don’t have a problem with that. Other people have quite a significant problem with that. If you’re part of the second group there then you may have already switched over to using a web browser like DuckDuckGo or something similar. It’s a fine privacy-promoting web browser in itself, but it’s a bit of a generalist in that it works suitably well across the board but not especially well for any one framework. And that’s where and why Epic coming onto the scene is as noteworthy as it is. It is a Chromium-based browser designed to ensure privacy without giving up anything i speed or functionality. It blocks ads as well as prevents user tracking, and also includes built-in protection against a wide range of surveillance methods cryptocurrency mining scripts among them. It promises to be just what the Doctor ordered for those who think these types of overwatch activities are unacceptable, and here at 4GoodHosting we’re like any other quality Canadian web hosting provider in that we agree with you wholeheartedly. Let’s take a look at what makes this new no-tracking web browser such a good fit and why it promises to be especially well received. Surfers 1 / Watchers 0 It’s fair to say that it’s really a shame that the innocence and carefreeness of using the world wide web to gain information is gone now, and that government agencies, corporations, and malicious hackers lurking in the shadows and taking notes is entirely unacceptable. Even those who aren’t overly incensed at having their privacy violated will almost certainly choose to stay...

Reading Time: 10 minutes There is always everything to be said for simplicity and when you need to put something together yourself as much of it as possible is preferable. This can certainly apply to people assembling their own website. If you’re a multinational corporation or anything similarly sized you’ll need the impressive and supremely dynamic website that a professional webmaster will build for you. But for a lot of smaller ventures of all different sorts it makes more sense to do it yourself and nine times out of 10 people do that with a WordPress website. If that’s you then you pretty much need a Canadian web hosting provider like us here at 4GoodHosting that provides Linux server hosting for websites. Linux hosting is optimized for WordPress sites and the fact it’s an open-source OS means that these hosts will be able to offer WordPress hosting Canada for less – something that is going to be very appealing for certain small business owners too. Even VPS hosting with a Linux server may be the best choice for any business website. So the basics of it is that any WordPress site that has Linux server hosting behind it is off to the best start possible when someone is bringing their website online for the first time. It will have the best array of resources made available to it, and of the aspects that makes it even easier to modify your site on your own here is with our cPanel controls. Some of you may be just starting to explore that yourselves, and so what we’re going to do here with this week’s entry is explain some approaches to optimizing WordPress on Linux hosting servers. Page Speeds Prominent And it is wise to make optimizing your WordPress one of your top priorities. Nothing speaks to this more than the importance of page speeds these days and also considering that Google’s ranking algorithm has adapted to this new reality given the importance website browsers will put on it. It is well known that a slow site means less visitors and if you have a WordPress website for a small business or venture you won’t be able...

Reading Time: 4 minutes Today, websites mostly run either on a Linux or a Windows based web server. However, a large chunk of sites run using Linux hardware. If your site is a HTML-based static web site, the operating system of your hosting server won't make any difference but, it makes difference when your site uses dynamic scripting languages like ASP or PHP/Perl (Linux technologies). Yet there has been success when websites run on PHP and Perl on Windows OS for years together. But, the licensing and technology for running ASP and Microsoft databases is being ironed out. A Windows server runs an MS Windows IIS (Internet Information Server) and is important for websites based on ASP/.NET scripting languages whereas, a Linux server is used for running the remaining websites, which is more in usage because of its availability at no cost. How the hosting computer is compatible with your home computer? Some people are worried about the compatibility of their system with the web hosting system. They are unnecessarily worried whether their system is compatible with the web hosting system. In reality, you won't run any program from your system on host's web server. And, the host won't run anything on your system. So, it doesn't matter what type of system you use. The only thing that makes a big difference visible is a Windows server runs a Plesk control panel. On the other hand, Linux uses cPanel to manage the hosting accounts of the users. Does your website need Windows technologies ASP or .NET or MS SQL or MS Access? If you need Windows technologies for your website and your website or web applications are executing directly ASP or .NET code, or if it is using MS Access or MS SQL or possibly using advanced databases/interfaces that connect remotely to the required Microsoft-based web servers, it is essential to sign-up for a web hosting package that uses Windows. There are also other ways of using Windows applications on Linux systems. But if your site is depending on the Microsoft technologies, you may face a smaller number of challenges and concerns. If you are going to use a Windows server and if you...
