This post is only useful for the people who are either webmasters or own any domain names/ website (e.g. http://www.example.com). If you are one of the above, you can easily understand what does the “Domain Expiration” means. Domain names are bought for a time period like 1 year, 2 years or 5 year (never for lifelong). In this time period, for which you bought the domain name, the domain name remains active (whether you host it or not).

If you forgot to renew domain name with in time and it crosses the expiration date, then it enters in a grace period, during which the current registrant (you) can still renew. This grace period varies by registrar, but usually lasts from 30 to 45 days. It can be more or less depending on circumstances. The record usually reflects the status ON-HOLD during the grace period. If the current registrant hasn’t renewed the name when that period is over, the domain enters another 30 days period called REDEMPTION PERIOD.

Again, if the current registrant does not have the domain name restored and renewed by the end of this period, the registry places the registration in DELETING status, and approximately five days later the domain name will become AVAILABLE for public.

You must know about your neighbor websites, hosted on your Webserver/ Shared IP. Shared hosting is good in many ways for service providers as multiple website can be hosted on same webserver under the one IP address. But Some web hosts put many hundreds of websites under one IP address. If few of your neighbor sites are using high CPU resources, It can slowdown the speed of other sites too. Webserver remain busy serving the resource hungry sites and the overall response time get increased. So always ask your webhost about how many sites they host on one webserver. Here I am providing you a link, from which you can check that who else are in your neighborhood.

Reverse IP DNS Check Tool: http://www.myipneighbors.com/

This tool will find other domain names hosted on your IP address. Just enter a domain (www.example.com) or an IP address (127.0.0.1) to get a list of domain names that share the same IP address. Though Its not a perfect method to know about how much load a webserver has, Because Servers cab be configured to host multiple IP addresses. Means Thing can be worst like below:

So you can never Know how busy a webserver actually is. Lesser the sites hosted on a server, Better the performance. Do Remember, If you have Bad neighborhood, it also affects your Google Page Rank and visibility in some search engine listings.

Had problems/ disputes with your previous webhost, OR getting low quality services (slow speed, less bandwidth, Not responding support dept., Spam mails in inbox etc). And now you are searching for a web host for your site. Have you come across the name “MANASHOSTING” (If not then you are lucky). You will surely find their offers so lucrative that’ll hard to resist. So if you are going to buy any service from Manashosting. Stopp for a while..!! First you must get the answers of the some questions then it’s your wish to move forward. Who is manashosting?? Are they really reliable?? Do they provide what they say on their website?? What other People say about Manashosting?? How is experience of their existing/ previous customers??

Manashosting is webhosting service provider of Indian continent. They claim to be the best and cheapest webhosting. Let I tell you what they provide

• Hi-speed and connectivity [A perfect Lie, I can bet on this. They are heavily overselling their space and so their servers are tightly stuffed.]
• Unlimited webspace and bandwidth [With so slow speed that 1 MB takes 10 Minutes to upload]
• Free Java, ASP.Net and All Database [You will die in frustration after sending them 10-15 mails for activating each service]
• Money back Guarantee [Don’t assume them so genuine, you are not going to get even a penny back]
• 99.99% uptime [Actually around 70-80%]
• High Security [Actually No Security]
• FTP Access [Beware you may face messages like; Control connection Closed ]
• Quality Services [Sorry the term Quality is not in their dictionary]
• Email Support [Only 1-2 out of 10 Email ID’s work, where you can send your problems through e-mail ]
• Tech Support [You problem have very few chances to sort out within the week you reported]
• Phone Support [Only 2-3 people are handling calls of customers from all over the India and abroad, You can imagine that you call is not going to be connect in first chance. If connected you will be speaking with a personal who knows pathetic English. Moreover, Mon- Friday and 10am-6pm is actual time you will get support]

Their Unlimited and Free kind of stuff are purely marketing gimmick. Everything on their site is just to allure you and as you will pay the money, you feel trapped. They are BIG CHEATS. I also bought their service previously but moved to ZNETINDIA within 2-3 months and now much happy.

Now a Question will be bugging in your mind that If they have so many faults, then why the people are going for them. Though I don’t know the answer exactly but some points can explain it better..

• Indian Public/market is Prices oriented, So, if things get good marketing and offered at low cost they are more likely to sold out.
• Novice People who don’t know much about webhosting makes a great contribution to their customer base.
