Understanding Website Capabilities

One key point that people need to understand is the capability of their website. Although it is a powerful tool, it is not your home computer.

The software on a home computer is designed to work for a single user, you! If you had 2 people trying to run the same program at the same time the computer could not do it.

Of course if you could only have one user per website and only one website per server, it would not be a very effective medium for doing business.

The multi user mode used by web servers is very complex but also limiting.

The make sure no single program uses all of the servers resources, programers need to make streamline programs and limit functionality.

One example that comes to mind is photo resizing.

It is possible to resize a photo that may be the size of a billboard down to the size of a web page. But, it will likely require all of the available resources of the web server.

For this reason, images allowed in the servers programs are limited in size. Since a photo that is 40 feet long is much to large to use on a web page, it does not make sense to allow users to upload pictures that big.

By trimming the fat, keeping the images small, the server can manage thousands of smaller pictures at the same time without any drop in performance.

In closed system like pageBuzz.com, the only programing running is managed by the system administrator and has been tested extensivly under heavy loads. This garantees that no one user will crash the entire network by asking their server to do more than it should.

In open hosting solutions anyone can upload any program and run it. In many cases, the programer did not limit the program and the user is unaware that the program will crash if they upload that huge billboard size image for their page.

Unfortunately for all of the other websites sharing the same server, their websites will also crash.

One of the biggest complaints we see about outher hosting systems is speed, accessibility and performance. It's not really the fault of the hosting company, but more likely one of the other websites on your server.

Since all users have full use of the system resources, any one usercan easily use all of the resources.

Theonly way to avoid this type of a problem is to get a dedicated server.

Now, in the world that gave you creative home loans, they have come up with virtual private servers. Which is nothing more than a shared hosting account where one server runs several private accounts that appear to be dedicated account and provide independant apache dameons and root access.

However, the problem still remains and everyone is depending on the other residents not to over use the server.

Image renting an appartment without walls. Just one big room and you can use as much as you need unless someone else is using it. Could you trust all the neghibors not to crowd into your space?

Probably not. If the space is there, people will fill it.

There are many problems with shared servers. Pagebuzz.com solves that problem by managing all the resources and making sure that every website has full access to all programs.

It is true, you can't upload your own software, but at the same time, either can anyone else. So you never have resource hogs that cripple your website because of programing mistakes or oversights.

You also get the benefit of using programming that is being used by thousands of people and tested on an extensive number of operating systems and browsers.

pageBuzz has taken the idea of appartment living and maximized the space and privacy while keeping the price very affordable.

Each user has the security of knowing that their website will always remain accessible and functional and will never overtax the system resources or server capabilities.
