Dedicated servers – These servers are physical in nature and provide the entire server for your own websites. These servers are more secure than any other server and perform efficiently. It provides you technical experts and full control available round-the-clock to supervise the server for any issues.

1) Availability

Cloud server clinches zero downtime and the maximum network uptime for your own websites and applications. It never goes down in case of any issue, numerous junctions takes over the call of duty of the failed junction automatically.

In dedicated servers, there is a risk of downtime and failure of physical hardware as they do not have numerous junctions to share the load.

2) Safety and security

You must have faith in your provider for the services and for taking enough measures of security in cloud servers. Service providers of cloud server hosting assure data safety by devoted IT support, secure and inscribe solutions and facilitate backup recoveries.

But in a dedicated server, one should take essentials measures by himself from supervising server resources to upgrade your dedicated server to secure it from spammers and its sensitive and confidential database of business.

3)  Scalability of resources

Cloud servers have measurable RAM, CPU, storage capacity and powerful technical resources to encourage your website performance. Increment and decrement of resources, computing cores, RAM and storage as per load of the work are very simple in a cloud server.

In a dedicated server, a specification is not flexible and scaling of resources is a bit difficult and time-consuming process.

4)Level of control

In cloud server services provided by the host are limited as one does not have complete control.

However, In dedicated server it provides complete control over the server, one can install applications, programs and enhancement of performance measures to the machine.

5) Cost-efficiency

In cloud server, bandwidth, storage capacity, offered are a little bit costly, but they are relatively inexpensive with the plentiful dedicated server. In the cloud server, you pay only for the computing resources that you actually use.

But in dedicated servers, you must pay a consistent amount notwithstanding of how much resources you actually use.

The post March Super Sale ! Hosting @ $1 , Domain @ $2 and much more appeared first on MeraHost.

The days of paying for SSL Security Certificates are coming to an end.  From today we’ll be rolling out free Domain Validated Comodo SSL Certificates across our shared web hosting platforms .  Domain Validated SSLs from this point on will be free for all clients.  The only reason you should pay for an SSL product is if you need additional support in implementing the SSL or if you need a specialist SSL such as an EV SSL or a Wildcard SSL.  It’s exciting times in the hosting industry and we’re pleased to be playing even a small part to make the internet a more secure and encrypted place.

— Ranjan Chatterjee , MeraHost

cPanel AutoSSL is a new feature that will auto provision and install a FREE Comodo Domain Validated SSL Security Certificate for every domain that is hosted on and points to the server.  It’s an exciting development and it’s to be welcomed.

We’ll be shorting activating AutoSSL on all our Shared and Reseller servers and the certificates will soon start rolling out and being installed on all domains.

AutoSSL is the solution to one of the biggest pain points that exists for every cPanel & WHM user: SSL installation and renewal. With AutoSSL there are no more forms to fill out, and no more certificates to manually copy into place. Once you enable AutoSSL your websites are automatically secured with a Domain Validated SSL certificate. Perhaps more exciting is the fact that your coverage will never lapse, because at expiration time a new SSL is requested and automatically installed.

Now all domains names, sub-domains, add-on domains hosted on MeraHost servers have SSL certificate installed by default. SSL is 100% valid (no browser warning) and the most imporant it’s absolutely free!

If you have a site hosted with us you can test your SSL by going to HTTPS://example.com where “example.com” is your doman name.

SSL Renewal Process

Free SSLs are issued for 90 days. After 90 days period certificates are renewed automatically. No action is required from your side.

SSL Installation Process

Certificates are installed automatically for all domains, sub-domains, add-on domains in your account.

What support will MeraHost provide with Free SSL Certificates vs Paid SSLs ?

We sell SSL certificates starting at $8 for 12 months.  We are continuing to sell these certificates as they come with full support.  Sometimes clients may need help in setting up their website to work with an SSL Certificate.  When you buy an SSL from us we will do all we can to help you troubleshoot problems such as why there is no padlock or how to set your website to automatically load https:// when someone visits the page.  Where you use the free AutoSSL certificate our support will be limited to confirming that the certificate is installed correctly for you.  We are enabling the AutoSSL feature on the understanding that we will not provide any support for them aside from confirming they are installed.   If you are going to need help troubleshooting why there is no padlock or enabling all pages to be https:// by default etc we will ask you to purchase our SSL product so we can provide that support to you.  Our sales team will be happy to advise on cost.

For a monthly fee up to seven times the cost of shared hosting, many providers offer feature-rich hosting packages built especially for WordPress users. The question, of course, is whether extra features warrant the extra cost.

Here, we’ll discuss why you might opt for managed WordPress hosting. We’ll also look at some popular shared hosts, compare their plans to WordPress-centric alternatives, and help you determine which hosting arrangement best suits your needs.

Managed WordPress hosting benefits

WordPress web hosting is a mixed bag. The extent to which a provider “manages” your WordPress installation varies quite a bit, and different hosts emphasize different feature sets in an effort to appeal to specific markets.

That being said, there are some fundamental benefits nearly all managed WordPress hosts deliver; they include:

• Faster speeds: Servers configured for WordPress, whether private or shared, really can make your website faster. Nearly all WordPress hosting providers use server configurations that speed up load times. Some boost speed even further with built-in caching, so you don’t have to fiddle with caching plugins.
• Enhanced security: Hosts scan your site periodically for malware and offer advanced security features that prevent hackers from accessing your site at all (these features vary among providers). In the event malware does weasel its way into your website, many hosts will remove it for no additional charge.
• Comprehensive support: Customer support techs will know WordPress inside and out. You can ask them WordPress questions in addition to more general hosting-related questions.
• Automatic updates: Most managed hosting providers test WordPress updates and implement them for you, so security updates become an afterthought.

Shared web hosting benefits

“Shared” hosting refers to an arrangement in which your website lives on the same server as others’ websites. The primary benefit of this arrangement is more sites for less cost – and for small publishers, cost savings can be a serious deal breaker.

Here’s a rundown of a few popular shared hosts’ least expensive hosting packages. When it comes to costs and features, they all look really similar.

Most shared hosting packages include comparable “extras” like unlimited email accounts, one-click WordPress installs, and automated backups, too. What you lose, of course, are the premium support, security features, and server configurations that managed WordPress hosting delivers.

Some publishers genuinely need those additional features, but do you need them? Ask yourself:

• Do high traffic levels or the anticipated growth of my site warrant investment in managed hosting? When you start receiving regular, heavy traffic, a shared server or a server that’s not optimized for WordPress can slow speeds to a crawl.
• Do I spend a lot of time on the phone with support? If you experience regular problems with your site or find that you need ongoing WordPress support, it might be time for managed WordPress hosting. Even if the host doesn’t offer 24/7 phone support, having fewer problems in the first place would be an optimal tradeoff.
• Am I disappointed in my host for some other reason? From billing issues to poor support to frequent downtime, people switch hosts for a variety of reasons. Having problems with a shared hosting provider doesn’t always mean you should switch to managed WordPress hosting, though. Determine whether the problem is something managed hosting might solve; otherwise, just try a new shared host.

If you answered no to all three of those questions, you probably don’t need managed WordPress hosting – and that’s good news! Shared hosting is perfectly adequate for most bloggers and small publishers, which means you don’t need to pay a premium to keep your site online.

As your audience grows and traffic increases, it might make sense to pay more for a feature-rich hosting package. But hang tight for now. When you’re ready for managed WordPress hosting, you’ll know it. Changing web hosts will be a natural step in the ongoing management of your content, and you won’t need a provider’s marketing literature to convince you to switch.

And remember: web hosting is just a tool. A great host doesn’t make a great website – that’s your job. Choose a host that gets out of the way so you can connect with your readers.

Most of us start out hosting our websites on shared servers, so we don’t come across the word ‘management’ at all. The term only really applies once we start looking for VPS hosting, semi-dedicated hosting or dedicated servers.

(In addition, you may come across the managed/ unmanaged dilemma when buying hosting in the cloud.)

There’s a clear price difference between unmanaged and managed, but it’s not a good idea to make your decision on cost alone. Picking the wrong plan could become extremely expensive in the long run.

Managed and Unmanaged Hosting Differences

When it comes to hosting, think of management as planned support.

• On a managed hosting package, the host offers support for every problem or task, emergency or routine. There’s a limit, obviously, in that you may not get support for a coding problem on your blog. But the operating system, control panel, server setup and any pre-installed applications are all managed – supported, in other words. Often, managed hosting comes with automated backup and monitoring.
• Unmanaged hosting is cheaper because there’s no management – i.e. no routine support. The host will replace failed components, reboot servers, maintain the network and keep the lights on, but it won’t support any software or install anything for you. It’s effectively your computer to maintain and control. You install security patches, you fix weird error messages and you’re responsible for installing everything but the OS. Many hosts won’t even provide a control panel or web server software: it’s up to you to do that.

If you get really stuck on unmanaged hosting, your host will charge you an hourly rate for basic help. Be warned: it’ll be very expensive, and it’ll probably wipe out the savings you made on buying a cheaper plan.

The Pros and Cons of Unmanaged Hosting

Unmanaged hosting gives you complete control: sole access and total freedom, just as though your server were your own computer. Unmanaged services are significantly cheaper than managed services, so if you’re comfortable with your OS, it’s a no brainer.

But if you’ll struggle to install a control panel from scratch, you’ll hit problems from day one. And do you really have the time to manage a server on top of all of your other tasks? Could you cope with every eventuality on your own?

Managed hosting is far less work and requires little expertise. If something goes wrong and you’re stuck, you can call on your host to give you a hand.

Which Solution is for You?

Everyone’s different, so we can’t give you a one-size-fits-all answer.

Ask yourself these questions:

• Could you deal with downtime if there was a software problem?
• Are you comfortable applying security patches remotely?
• Do you really need unfettered access?
• Is the price difference worth the extra work?
• Do you need a control panel, such as cPanel or Plesk?

In addition to wholly managed and unmanaged solutions, there are some companies, that provide hybrid solutions. These setups will give you root access to your server, but will still provide a limited amount of support, usually in the form of a limited number of hours with a tech support agent. If you’re not sure what to do, look into a hybrid plan: it might give you the best of both worlds.

Balancing the Budget

What’s important to you: low cost, or fewer maintenance tasks?.

If you’re not comfortable tinkering with the insides of your server, you should stick to a managed solution. If your host doesn’t offer one, ask about a maintenance agreement or hybrid plan. And never sign up for a long unmanaged hosting contract if you’ve any doubts about your ability to handle the workload solo.

The word FREE can turn many heads, so there’s absolutely no doubt there will be many takers for free web hosting. Not bad right, host your website online and no need to pay a dime for it. But we hate to break the bubble, there’s very little that you get with free hosting. In fact you’ll lose out on more money than you would pay for a good web hosting package. Sounds unbelievable right, read on to learn more.

Disadvatantages of Free Web Hosting

Are You Serious: Your web address is going to be a subdomain of your free web hosting service provider (ex: www.yourbrand.something.com). If you’re serious about your website or online business, you’ll never want to see this happen. Besides no one deals with a business that doesn’t have their own domain name.

Got Space Bro: All free web hosting companies only give you web space that is barely enough to build a 5 page static website. You will be left hanging for more space and your only ray of hope will be paying a hefty amount to upgrade. This generally is more expensive than most good web hosting packages out there.

Kapoosh!!: Free web hosting lacks reliability. The free web hosting company can decide to shut shop anytime and that means it will shut your website too. Just like a disappearing rabbit in a magic show.

Where’s My Money: The free web hosting companies have the right to run ads on your website even if they are not relevant to your website. What’s worse is that you get no share of the revenue earned by them. That’s not fair right!! Also imagine your competitor ads showing up on your own site, disastrous isn’t it?

Why You No Visit Me: You can forget about getting any traffic from search engines as most sites hosted on free web hosting servers are pushed to the back of the results. Your hard work is never going to get noticed. Bloggers who wish to reach out to their audience are going to suffer the most.

That’s so 90’s Bro:  Get ready to deal with older versions of applications, low data transfer, file upload limitations, no support and constant need to upgrade to get more control of your own website.

So before you give in to ‘free web hosting’, think about what we mentioned above and decide what’s more important for you; an awesome fully functional website or just another free website (which isn’t really yours). The choice is yours

Anyways paid isn’t that expensive. Don’t believe us? Take a look at our Hosting plans and judge for yourself.
