Launch of content delivery network (CDN) intelligently routes user web traffic to geographically closest server

(Web Hosting News) Hostway UK is today announcing the launch of its content delivery network, which will improve user experience of the Internet by directing traffic to its customer’s websites to the nearest, and consequently best-performing web server. By using a number of Foundry ServerIron 4G switches, Hostway can route users to the server nearest to their location, ensuring that content is tailored to the user’s location and providing valuable business continuity and redirection services.

“Almost all large companies have their website accessible on a number of servers around the world, but traffic to these servers is rarely intelligently routed,” said David Foxley, Enterprise Technology manager at Hostway. “For example, British customers logging onto a global concert ticketing site could be delayed by waiting for data to travel across the transatlantic link, instead of being redirected to the UK site, which might mean that customers do not get the seats they want, or worse still, miss out on a certain gig date.”

Furthermore, with increasing numbers of companies storing large images, videos and other rich content on their websites, it is important that these load as quickly as possible and do not have a negative effect on user experience. Accessing a website in Sydney from a PC in London, for example, can have a considerable effect on how quickly images load. By using the CDN, Hostway can ensure that all content loads as quickly as possible, by storing it as close to the user as possible.

The CDN can also detect whether any of the servers in the network have failed, and redirect users to the next best performing server, giving companies the assurance that even in the event of server failure, their users will still have the best possible experience, providing a level of business continuity.

“Although broadband speeds are accelerating, user experience is frequently far from optimal,” concluded Foxley. “However, this isn’t always down to connection speed –a great deal depends on the hosting environment and website itself. By introducing the content delivery network, we hope to give our customers a competitive edge by ensuring that their websites always load as quickly as possible and provide the best possible experience.”

(Web Hosting News) It is a basic requirement for every webmaster to have a stable hosting environment for their website, unlike the old days, web hosting companies are able to offer a far more stable hosting service now thanks to new technologies and tight preventive measure practice by most data centers. Hosting companies can no longer use it as a selling point to attract customers, and we have noticed two different development in hosting industry in recent years, Some larger web host are going all out with mega bulk resources and ultra cheap rate trying hard to fence off smaller players, while smaller players are moving towards more specialized service, or much more personalized service. Large web host instead are focusing on multi channel and instance help desk response. For new webmasters, having better quality support and more personalized service can be of great help, this sort of guided help can lead new webmasters towards the proper direction, and professional advices can help shorten the research and website development cycle. This simple guide provide a simple yet effective approach to find a satisfying web hosting company, new webmasters can easily get themselves a suitable web host thus more time can be focus on to create a website that generate results instead of wasting time hopping around different web hosts.

Knowing What You Really Want
Lots of web hosting offers are wrapped with different kinds of marketing tricks, and new webmasters are generally vulnerable to such offers and often made a wrong first decision. It is important to understand what you really need before going out searching for an offer, this understanding can help you stay focus and less chances to be distracted by all those marketing tricks. First, get a piece of paper and list down the needed resources and all other technical aspects for running your web application, make a short and long term plan for your website, you will need to find a web hosting partner that is able to service you now as well as in the long run, changing web host while you are getting more traffic to your website is a risky step, as there can lead to unexpected problems which may influence the success or failure of the website. After getting all the technical requirements done, list down all the other support services you want your web host to provide to you, for example, you want a dedicated support staff that know your web application and be able to advise or help solving some critical issues specific to the web application from time to time etc. Basically, you want to list down all those service that you ‘expect’ your web host to provide, and you should list them down as detail as possible so that you are cleared of what type of web hosting service you are actually looking for, this self understanding can help you stay focus while you are screening through hosting offers and less chances to make a wrong decision.

Get Help From Experience Friends
Having cleared of what you actually wanted, you can start looking for hosting offers by getting recommendations from friends with experience in the hosting services, either they are working in hosting companies or have been doing website development work for some time. After getting some recommendations based on your guidelines, you can also do some extra research to get a general opinion of these recommended web hosts, checking comments at popular webmaster forums is far better than reading marketing material posted at various web hosting review sites. If you noticed there are some recommended names that does appear to be frequently mentioned in forums, do not yet think that they are bad choices for you, note that there are lots of good web hosting providers that do not practice heavy marketing or compete in the ultra cheap and mega bulk resources offers, but most of their business are through referral, where their clients are referring friend to them whom are looking for quality hosting service. Lots of advance web developers prefer these type of hosting companies as their servers are generally not over loaded plus the support quality is generally much better than those that those large web hosts.

Personally Check Service Before Final Decision
Getting recommendations and general opinion for a web host is not enough to justify whether a web hosting services can fit you perfectly, since every webmaster is unique and have their own requirements and expectations. Therefore, before making the final decision, you should personally verify the service before jumping into conclusion, you should know that you are looking for a long term business partnership, the more you know about your partner, the better chances for you tie up with satisfying business relationship. You can send the list of questions prepared earlier to shortlisted web hosts, then carefully screen through their responses. You will likely notice some difference in them and identify the web host that you are feeling most comfortable partnering with.
