Define Your Needs

Before you even start looking for suitable companies to partner with the web hosting world, it is recommended that you first think about your specific web hosting needs. Some of the things you need to think about at this point include the amount of traffic you are targeting at this early stage and the type of files to be uploaded to the site among others.

By comprehensively defining your needs, you will be better positioned to avoid choosing a web hosting partner with too little or too many resources.

Security Concerns

a fast website is important If you wish to handle essential and confidential customer and business-related information on the website, then security becomes a significant concern.

It is worth noting that even the smallest of websites are at risk of being hacked, as such, its best to have the necessary security protocols in place from the start to mitigate this risk.

Security Sockets Layer is a security protocol used to keep the confidential information entered by users safe. It is also worth noting that you should choose a GDPR compliant company if you plan on sharing customer information with them.

Scalability

As a business looking to venture into the online market, it is essential to keep growth estimates in mind. When choosing a web hosting partner, it is essential to choose one that has the potential to grow with your website with time.

Not all web hosting service providers can be able to accommodate growth in your web hosting needs, so be sure to assess the capabilities of the companies under consideration carefully. It is also worth noting that you should choose a web hosting package that provides for root growth before you have to move up to pricier options.

Support

Things always have a way of going wrong even after choosing the best web hosting company. When this happens, efficient and effective customer support proves to be a lifesaver. As such, it is vital that you look for a web hosting company that has reliable customer support.

Before settling on a given company, check whether they have customer support, and then check whether it works by calling and emailing their contacts.

Choosing the right web hosting company can be quite tricky especially to new businesses looking to venture online for the first time. Follow the above tips to make the process much more manageable.

Determining the right type of hosting for your site

Before choosing a web host for your website, you must first have a perfect understanding of the different types of hosting that exist.

This will allow you to choose the one that can meet your expectations since they each have their advantages and limitations. Before subscribing to a web hosting service, you will have to choose between 4 options.

Dedicated hosting

As its name indicates, dedicated hosting gives you the opportunity to benefit from a specific server. This server will be exclusively reserved for your company and will have its own operating system. This type of hosting is generally suitable for high traffic sites or e-commerce sites. However, it is an expensive solution. Therefore, before opting for this hosting solution, your needs should be considered in light of the expenses inherent to this service.

VPS hosting

VPS hosting has a similar mode of operation to dedicated hosting. The only difference is that at this level, the virtual machine set up on a dedicated server is shared, thanks to a technology called virtualization.
This consists in putting a virtual layer on the operating system of another physical server: that of your host.

Thus, the VPS gives the possibility to take advantage of more flexible technologies. It allows you to save on the total cost of hosting because of the mutualization of resources.

It is indeed a type of hosting that is reserved especially for those who aspire to rapid progress and who are thinking of developing in the medium term.

Shared hosting

With this type of hosting, several clients can share the same server. It is a solution that gives you the possibility to reduce costs, especially when your storage needs are not very important.

Cloud hosting

Finally, cloud hosting is also close to the principle of shared hosting. However, it should be noted that it does not depend on a single physical server, but on several virtual servers. Its greatest asset is that it offers very flexible possibilities of availability and flexibility.

About The Onboard 2 Bluetooth Technology

By Nancy Shows on Sunday, June 3, 2018

An Onboard 2 Bluetooth, or OBD 2, for short, is a tool that many drivers and mechanics these days cannot do without. Moreover, there’s a good reason for this.

Vehicles are increasingly reliant on computers. Having so many components means that a lot can go wrong. Moreover, without the ability to speak, the mechanic would have to tear apart the whole car to figure out that there’s something wrong with an oxygen sensor, or other smaller, maybe lesser important part.

The ODB 2 Bluetooth changes the math in that situation. It allows for quick navigation of the car’s computer and system to find out what is going wrong. It may even help point to reasons for the trouble.

It’s the Google translate for a vehicle. It allows a car or truck to speak up to let the owner or mechanic know what’s going on with it.

an OBD scanner port While it may not seem novel or new to find a device that can “read” a car’s computer, the OBD II is different. It was devised by California California Air Resources Board regulations and later changed and adapted for the Society of Automotive Engineers.

Now people in states where there are annual emissions checks may be somewhat familiar with these computers. The fact that cars from 1996 and newer can undergo the “easy” or “quick” emissions testing is a result of cars being equipped with the OBD II technology starting back in 1996.

The good news is that anyone who wants to perform emissions checks or even stop that annoying oxygen sensor light from coming on can clear the code. Yes, these readers serve double duty. Not only can they check for issues, and report on them, but they can interface with the vehicles as well.

That means that the OBD II reader can help with the pesky issues that are meaningless, but annoying. It can also detect more severe issues. Meanwhile, for more significant issues, the scanning tools provide a great help as well. Neither of these tool types is expensive, and every car has these computers.

That means that it makes sense that most mechanics have these machines on hand. Now the first tool is easy to get because it is much more affordable.

The OBD-II scan tools are more costly though and have features that include great functionality in exchange for the higher asking price on them. Scan tools give a lot more information about the types of codes that are used by various manufacturers. Also, it allows for more in-depth access to data whether it is right now or from prior readings. It is an excellent resource for those who want to keep track of maintenance issues.

In most instances, the scanners also provide the added benefit of giving more detailed information about what’s wrong and how to fix it. That’s just an overview of what these computers can do and why they are indispensable these days. The next time the light comes on, no fear. Get the OBD 2.

An aerial robot capable of changing its shape in full flight

By Nancy Shows on Friday, June 1, 2018

This is a world first: researchers from the Institut des Sciences du mouvement Étienne Jules Marey (CNRS/Aix-Marseille University) have drawn inspiration from birds to design an aerial robot capable of changing its shape in full flight. It can change the orientation of its arms, equipped with engines and blades to propel itself like a helicopter, to reduce its wingspan and navigate in full spaces. This work, published in Soft Robotics Journal on May 30, 2018, paves the way for a new generation of massive robots capable of sneaking through narrow passages, an ideal new tool for exploration and rescue missions.

Winged birds and insects have a formidable ability to perform rapid maneuvers to avoid obstacles they encounter during their flight. This great agility is necessary to navigate in very dense places such as forests or very crowded environments. Nowadays, miniature flying machines are also able to adapt their posture (in roll or pitch for example) to pass through a narrow opening. However, there is another type of strategy that is just as effective in allowing birds to cross a narrow passage at high speed despite its imposing wingspan: they can suddenly change their morphology during the flight by folding their wings back and thus pass easily through all kinds of obstacles.

Flying robots will increasingly have to operate in very crowded environments for rescue, exploration or mapping missions. These robots will, therefore, have to avoid the many obstacles and cross passages more or less cramped to fulfill their mission. With this in mind, researchers at the CNRS/Aix-Marseille University Institute of Motion Sciences have designed a flying robot, capable of reducing its wingspan in full flight to pass through an opening without having to fly aggressively, too expensive in energy.

This new robot, called Quad-Morphing, is equipped with two arms on which are fixed two engines each equipped with blades that allow it to propel itself like a helicopter. Thanks to a mechanism mixing flexible and rigid cables, it can modify the orientation of its two arms, that is to say to orient them parallel or perpendicularly to its central axis, and this in full flight. It thus manages to reduce its span by half, to cross a narrow passage, and to redeploy itself, all at a very high speed for an air robot (9 km/h).

The Quad-Morphing’s agility is currently determined by the precision of its autopilot, which triggers a change in arm orientation when approaching a small obstacle based on its position provided by a 3D location system developed in the laboratory. However, the researchers equipped the robot with a mini-camera capable of capturing images at high frame rates (120 frames per second), which will enable it in the future to estimate the size of the obstacle and make the decision whether or not to hold back. Testing of this new version of the Quad-Morphing began in May 2018.
