Leave it for half an hour and then take a masculine cloth and pour the milk and acid mixture in it. Doing this will filter paneer out of the mixture and water and remaining substitutes will pass away.

If you are new to IT, you probably heard about "domain name" and you might be questioning yourself "What is a domain name ?". Well before we dive deeper into answering the question "what is a domain name? " , let us first clear our self with some basics on "what is a domain name? " then we could dive deeper into defining Domain names, Their types, TLD's, How to register domain name and much more beyond if you keep on reading.
Basics on What is a Domain name?
A domain name in general is the name a website has. But in earlier days of internet websites did not had names and where not always live. In earlier days you need to remember a long digits of numbers to visit a website. like 119.18.56.83 is the server IP address of a website. Just think how hard it would be remember a website if you did not note down it's IP address. This really made internet an ugly and tough thing for visitors. I mean how could a visitor remember the big numerical digit if he wants to visit Facebook or Google. For computers it is more than fine to remember big numerical digits because they operate on binary system but what about us "can we really type the big numerical digit on our web browser each time we want to visit a website? ".
Simply no, this was the only reasons why the need of domain naming system arrived and one can say that this Domain name invention proved revolutionary to internet. Now people could visit Facebook without necessarily remembering the numeric terms i.e. IP address. Since we now have domain name system, it is helping both the visitor and the machines at the same time. Now users don't have to type the big numeric terms and computers can still very effectively relate the user query and so them the relevant results by patching the domain names with the server IP of the website. so it sounds more user as well as computer friendly and this makes internet a better place to visit.
Although domain names are simply patched with numeric terms known as IP address but that's not all a domain name consists of. An IP address is there on a domain name to point out the server location of a website but they usually do not make up all of it, like what we see in an IP address.
What is Domain Name format ?
Above we have discussed some basics on what is domain name ?, it's need, evolution etc. It's time to dive deeper into what is domain name?, how is it named, It's format etc. A domain name has 4 parts:
URL of the domain name.
The "WWW" of the domain name
The body of the domain name
The extension of the domain name
The 1st part of the domain name:
URL is the very first part a domain has. URL is an acronym for Uniform resource locator. The function of URL in a domain name is to instruct the web browser to point a domain name where.i.e. It's is usually found "http://" in a domain name which instruct the web browser to point a hypertext document usually "html" acronym for hyper text document. If we want to understand in simple terms usually in layman's language http:// in a URL would mean to point a webpage. In other cases it can be "https://" of even "ftp://". Ftp is acronym for file transfer protocol. A "ftp://" in domain name would suggest the web browser to transfer files. A webmaster would go for ftp in his domain name if he want to permit it's visitors to download files stored on his server, on his website.
The 2nd part of the domain name:
WWW is the Second part a domain has. WWW is acronym for world wide web. The purpose of WWW in a domain name is to tell both the visitors and bots that the domain is a web property. It is now also considered as deprecated since most of the web users no longer type WWW in a domain name. WWW is followed by the actual name of a website.
The 3rd part of the domain name:
The body of the domain name is the third and the most important part of a domain name. The body of domain name is the main remembereable part of a domain name. Users are free to decide the name of the body part. The naming could be done according to ones wish like it could be words or phrases or a combination of letters, words and phrases. The word limit of the body of the domain name is 63 letters but it is always advisable to keep it short usually withing 16 words. There are certain things a webmaster should consider while registering the domain name like shortness,easy to remember and SEO friendly for search engines.
The 4th part of the domain name:
The 4th and the final portion part of a domain name is the domain name extension but what is domain name extension ?.
well, A domain name extension lets user as well as the web browser know more about the origin of a website. i.e. If a domain name ends with an extension ".com" then this specifies both web browser and the user that this website is a commercial website. Domain name ending with extension ".edu" will mean a website is for educational purpose. .com extension is most widely used and very popular also. So it is also advisable to go for .com domain name if available. .com,.org and .net extensions are most popular and also a TLD so one should register his domain with these extensions if available. Suggesting that .com,.org and .net are most popular and should be used while registering a domain name does not mean that other extensions are bad or should not be used. Think of wikipedia.org, Wikipedia ends with .org extension and is a very popular site. It's not the extension or name but what matters most is the content of a website.
If you want further info on what a domain name extension is?, then you must know that other than TLD's a domain extension is also based on the geographic location i.e. A country based extension e.g. ".fr" domain extension simply specifies that this website is from France ".jp" for japan. A ".in" would mean a website from India. These domain extensions can also be state wide e.g ".ca" represents the California state of America. These "domain extensions" if used wisely could prove excellent for localized marketing.
What is Top level Domain Name ?
A top level domain name is generally denoted to .com,.net and .org extension. A top level is also denoted as TLD. In the hierarchical domain system a top level domain occupies root zone of DNS(Domain name system). So every top level domain fills the first level of DNS zone also known as top zone or root zone.
In 1980's, When DNS was designed, the Domain Name Space was given two division:
ccTLD
gTLD
What is ccTLD ? AccTLD stands for Country code top level domains. A ccTLD mainly consists of 2 character territory codes.
What is gTLD?
A gTLD stands for generic Top level domain. A generic top level domain category was made to represent a set of categories domains ranging from different multi level organization. These multi level organization ranges from government sector, Education sector, Commercial sector, Military sector, Organization, Network and International sector.
Top level domain for government sector - .gov
Top level domain for Education sector- .edu
Top level domain for Commercial sector- .com
Top level domain for Military sector- .mil
Top level domain for Organization- .org
Top level domain for Network - .net
As the internet grew overtime, It become demanding to create additional generic top level domains. According to the sources in October 2009 there were 21 generic top level domains and around 250 two letter country top domains on the internet but as ICANN started a new policy towards naming domain names, It became possible to name new top level domains with new extension.
What is Second level Domain name?
A second level domain name is also called a lower level domain name. A second level domain name denoted with SLD occupies the second position in Domain Hierarchy system of DNS. A second level domain comes just after Top level domain in the DNS. i.e. A second level domain assigns the left position after top level domains. e.g. Google.co.in here ".in" is the top level domain representing India while ".co" in the left of ".in" in the domain name Google.co.in represents a second level domain name.
What is Third level Domain name?
A third level domain name is the domain name which is writeen left to second level domain name. A third level domain name comes just after second level domain name. Like third level domain there can also be fourth level domain and fifth level domain and so on. Each of these level domain name comes after one other and each of them are written on the left side one after the other. A typical example of a domain name with 4 level of doamin levels is "www.sos.state.oh.us". Here www stands for world wide web. "SOS" in the domain name is called the sub domain of "state.oh.us". "State" here also known as the sub domain name of "oh.us", "oh" is the sub domain name of "us" and last but not least "Us" here also means a top level domain name sub domain to "world wide web".
We all know that domains names are registered keeping in mind either the name of the company, or product,or service.e.g. A company based domain name could be something like "Intel.com" or "hp.com" while a product based or service based domain name could be like "webhostingasia.blogspot.com" or even "gmail.com". As discussed earlier that a domain contains a special componant in it which tells the web browser about the type of web server a query is seeking i.e. www.wallpaperdownload.biz could represent a web browser to seek an html file. while ftp:wallpaperdownload.biz could mean to seek ftp for document download. mail:wallpaperdownload.biz could mean to seek an email server.
One important note here to make is that each of the domain names are seperated by a fullstop(.) mark.
Domain Name Registration
Domain registeration means to registering a name for your business, service or product online. Domain names registrationhave become compulsary for both big business and small business. A business or even a small firm could not even think of standing out in the market without protecting their business name online. With more than a million of domains registered daily it has become compulsary to secure the business name online from our competitors since registering a domain name could cost only from $4 to $20 dependimg on the domain extention one decide to register for his/her business or firm.
What is the history of Domain name Registeration?
The history of domain name registeration is just boggling to mind and I am sure it will boggle yours also when you gonnabe reading the history of the daomain registeration. The first domain and offcourse a TLD to get registered is "symbolics.com". Symbolics.com was registered in 1985 by a computer system firm in Massachusetts USA. But later sold to another party with an undisclosed price. By the passing of 1992 more than 1500 ".com" were on the internet. By the end of december of 2009 there were more than 192 million domain registered which consisted a large no of TLD ".com" which as of date 04\15\2010 were estimated to be 84 million domain names out of which 11.9 millions domains were online businesses and ecommerce web sites, 4.3 million domain names were of entertainment industry, 3.1 million domain names dealing with finance and around 1.8 million web sites on sports sector.
The latest records(july 2012) shocked everyone. There were more ".com" TLD registered this year than all other domain registered this year in together.
Blogging platforms are a great way to share your knowledge with the rest of the world.

Availing all these services for just $3.15/month is like boggling to me. I am really amazed by there services and plan they have to offer. It's just great to take services from them.
1. Fatcow website speed test: These are just the screen shorts for fatcow website speed test which I am sharing here. You can go and perform the speed test of Fatcow's website yourself at http://tools.pingdom.com
2. Fatcow reliability test: Pingdom reliability testing and monitoring service enables a user to check the server downtime, up-time reports and perform root cause analysis of a server.

Though Fatcow control panel is customized by v Deck 4 and comes very handy when performing tasks like running ftp programs, email Id creation, managing sql databases and other server side tasks which is required but If you compare hostgator web weaver pack, with weebly or other designer packs available online, you might find fatcow's web weaver not as comparable as you might have thought. Even some of it's themes are not fully supported and compatible.
But since they are free, there is nothing harm in using them without you have to pay. This feature can be very awesome for those who have no designing knowledge and don't even wanna pay for development.
Another thing here which I would like to appreciate about fatcow's control panel is the ability to install popular CMS in just so ease. CMS like WordPress, Drupal and Joomla, Phpbb etc can be installed in just a click. simple scripts really make this very handy.

2. ipage hosting reviews
Let's start ipage analysis by reviewing it's very popular money back guarantee. Though the ipage money back guarantee commits to return back money at any time without a question and is very popular also but what most people don't know, is the amount returned to a buyer at the time of cancellation of service is calculated on a rule which is formed on two basis:
i. Remaining Period. ii. The early cancellation charge.
MONEY REFUND RULE = { Remaining Period - cancellation charge} This money refund rule might sound disappointing but it is far better than getting no refund at all, which in fact is the case with most of the web hosts. Ipage is a web host situated in Boston, started in 1998, currently registering more than half million domains and hosting more than a million websites on it's server. Ipage was initially set to Boston but as it was now sold to Endurance International Group, the company expanded it's branches in 150 countries all around the world.

But if we leave it's dns records and it's claims a side and focus on rest of the reviewings, we find that webhostinghub has much to offer to it's clients. With a stand alone "shared hosting" plan starting with just $4.95 is one fit plan for all types of business needs.

Why I started this web hosting review blog?
Unlike past more and more companies are focusing their businesses nature online. In order to showcase products and find potential customers online the very first priority is to find a domain name registrar and a company for hosting your website. But we don't know which web host will fit with our nature of business, Which company provider provides optimum server up time, support services etc. Believe me, I have suffered many business failures just because of server down problems. I understood at just an age of 16 years that I am talented in IT field. My hunt for talent finished with the launch of my first website in "form 3" and since then till present I am constantly devoting my time and energy towards IT industry. The most tough thing for me as a newbie in IT was to choose a good company for my website. Believe me I have changed my website hosting server 3 times in a year because of server down problems. There are many companies with their tall claims like quality services, award wining support, 99.9% up time guarantee etc, but all these claims are not met by most of the companies. The point which always strike my mind was a review service. A tool-free service to perform analysis You must be thinking that I am going crazy now but I always dream that, what if a company ask you to take web hosting services on a review basis for say a month or two and then charge you, Though that type of analysis is only possible if web hosting companies let us do but since they charge for web hosting weather you want it on review basis or for use, this limits an Individual from performing reviews. To solve this review problem, I spend my money and time to review each webhosting companies personally and help you choose the right web host for your business. So that when you take web hosting services you forget about performing analysis and feel comfortable in choosing the web host for your business.
I divide my web hosting review procedure in two phase:
Phase 1: simple and general analysis. Phase 2: Complex and Advanced analysis.
Phase 1: This review phase is simple and is just a general review of a web host. I simple check for things like Plan types, It's cost, Up time guarantee, Trust and Authority, Experience, Services, Exclusive offers etc. After reviewing all these I simply go for the web host. I pretend like I am a new buy who don't even know like how to pay, Create email id, Upload files through ftp programs. I just play my self like a new guy who is not familiar with even control panel and this helps me review their support services. Here I also try to test the knowledge of their technical team by raising issues like virus problems, scripts installation etc.
Phase 2: This review phase starts after the completion of review phase 1. This phase is not a general phase i.e. It involves those activities which a normal user will never perform. The review phase starts by testing server speed using speed test meter. Then using Pingdom services to completely review any company. Since the process involves taking and and using their servers in order to tackle real world problems, this piece of process helps me give out much realistic analysis for my blog readers.
How do I evaluated web hosting review score?
I evaluate the score of web hosts by using multiple factors score:
Reliability Sore
Speed Score
Usability Score
Features Score
Price worth Score
Customer support Score
TOTAL SCORE = Reliability Sore + Speed Score + Usability Score + Features Score + Price worth Score + Customer support Score
REVIEW SCORE = TOTAL SCORE / 6
1. RELIABILITY:- The the most important aspect of all when it comes to review a company is reliability. For a business to succeed online it's web host should provide 99.9% server reliability and up time guarantee. Major Search engines like Google, Yahoo, Msn etc will never love a website which has server fault or is having server downtime and if they don't love it they will never put your website high up in their search results and you end up loosing customers. Server up time and reliability is what most of the SEO companies want to insure first. It is well known in SEO community that server down time has serious negative impact in your SEO effort. So in my analysis, reliability is in the topnotch priority.
2. SPEED SCORE: The second most important aspect which I look in a company while performing their hosting analysis is Speed. A company can include a plan for unlimited disk space and bandwidth in their sales page but might limit your web server speed so that if your website gets too popular and is using high server bandwidth, by limiting the speed helps companies to limit the use of their server because your website has access to limited data transfer/sec and this makes your site busy and it loads very poorly. Now this practice will help a company but for a website, it's something which a webmaster should never let happen and it is very annoying to your site's loyal visitors. So here I check different speed parameters and then I assign speed score points to get added in the report.
3. USABILITY SCORE: Their is no point in neglecting the usability factor when performing a check. It is tendency of newbies to neglect the usability factor just because of either lower price or higher bandwidth offer. But most webmasters know the importance of Usability.e.g. A task like WordPress installation can be done either manually or if the web hosting company provides simple scripts in control panel for single click CMS installation. With simple scripts in control panel can save your lot amount of time and hence make you more productive. Another thing when it comes to usability is the use of control panels. There are many control panels available in the market but the most easy and usable one is C panel. So it is important to choose a web host that provides c panel control panel for use. So here I check different usability parameters and then I assign usability score points to be added in the report.
4. FEATURES SCORE: What most of the people think of features in a plan is disk space and bandwidth. Though disk space and bandwidth are the most important one, but that's not. Think of a company which provides features like free Google and FB credit, free website submission in yellopages etc. All these features can prove icing in a business growth and one should never miss these features from availing. So here I check different features and then I assign feature score points to be added in the report.
5. PRICE SCORE: This review score deals with calculation the worthiness of price. Do you really get return on investment? Though the call is to check ROI and price worthiness but their are other things like easy payment option, money back guarantee, secure payment, privacy policy, billing terms, Tax information etc which I try to figure out as well. So here I check ROI and other price features and then assign Price score points to be added in the report.
6.CUSTOMER SUPPORT: If you are new to IT field, customer support will be something which you gonna be needing the most. Since web hosting is a digital product and you have no physical support so customer support plays an important role in both technical and customer support. Things like fast and intelligent technical technical support, online Ticket support, live chat are the Hallmark of a Good company. In order for me to assign customer support points, I test customer support department of a company by checking there response time and quality of response, Do they really take your call important? etc.
Are these review score honest, unbiased and unprejudiced?

Welcome to the best web hosting glossary of collection of different web hosting terms and definitions. Though there are many terms which is not possible to get covered in this post so I will try to include some important terminologies in this web hosting glossary only. Lets look at them.
1. Access Logs : An access logs is a term which is self explanatory itself. "Access log" simply means to check for your website visitors. Almost every control panel comes with the option of checking your access log details. Access logs make you better understand your website audience by provide you with full details about your visitors information which includes but is not limited to
Ip address of your website visitors.
Date and time of their visit
Duration of their visit
Geographical location of the visitors
Which pages got mostly seen and how much data is downloaded.
2. Apache : Apache is a free ware open source software. Apache is mainly used for web server management.Because of it's open source it is most widely used software for web servers.Even big companies like Google use it for their web server.When Apache first came, it was meant to be only for UNIX servers but as many upgrades came later on, made APACHE compatible with Windows as well as other operating platforms.APACHE is currently in use by many web hosting companies to manage their client websites. Since APACHE is open source,the source code can be edited and the software can be tailor made and this makes APACHE very secure, reliable and productive. Also their are frequent updates available on the internet for APACHE up gradation and this makes APACHE even more secure, reliable and productive.
3. ASP: Acronym for Active Server Pages. Active Server pages is nothing more than a server side scripting language which is Introduced by Microsoft to generate dynamic webpages on the server itself. ASP is also denoted as a classic ASP, a script engine which uses VB scripts and works on server only to produce dynamic webpages.
4. ActiveX: ActiveX is introduced by Microsoft in an intent to enhance the reusability standard in programming. With ActiveX an organization can produce reusable software parts which can then be recalled or inherited in other programmings if needed.
5. Add-on: This is a term which is more often used by web hosting companies. An add-on is something which comes as an extra product or service to enhance the usability. Add-on are generally included by webmasters to enhance their site overall performance and provide their visitors with more interactivity. Add-on are but not limited to guest posting facility, maps, Facebook integration, commenting feature, Chat etc.
6. Bandwidth: It is also termed as Data transfer in web hosting industry so don't confuse. Bandwidth is something which concerns both web host as well as their clients. A web host will try to put limit on the bandwidthallotment and a client will always look for the plan which provides more bandwidth in less cost. Bandwidth in simple terms means the amount of data that can the downloaded or uploaded in a month by a website. A data can be a simple text file or an image or a video etc. Let's say if you got a content of 5MB which you upload on your website and a visitor downloads it., so the total bandwidth used is 10MB( 5MB for you to upload on your server and 5MB for a visitor to download the file from your server). Bandwidth is also utilized if someone visits your website. So if your analytic shows that your website has 124 page views and if 10KB is used per page view in loading the page then this means that the total bandwidth used in 124 page views is 1 MB.
7.Backups: Backups means to keep a record or a duplicate copy of your web documents which could be needed in case of document losses.Web hosts do maintain backup of a website so that if any accident occurs from their or your side, a backup of all your documents is available. Their are some web hosts which offer a backup service of every 24 hours so that you get maximum maximum backups of your most recent documents.
8.Blog hosting: This is again a very important feature that most of the people look for when selecting their web host. Almost every individual blog and almost every company and business have a blog to show case their product and features.A blog hosting is not something extra special when it comes to hosting. Unlike the traditional hosting a blog hosting provides easy way to install blogging platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal etc on the server with a single click etc.
9.Cookie: cookies are often misunderstood as a virus or a spyware but actually a cookie is something which a web server sends to a web browser to store and is used when you visit that web server again. Cookies help websites to understand about your preferences and your likes, what you might be looking for etc. Big search engine giants like Google use cookies to show you better ads. In my opinion cookies are safe and do not contain viruses etc.
10.Corn Jobs:A corn job is something which is more like a robotic stuff. You only have to pass command once and it will repeat that task on your server whenever it is scheduled for. e.g. If you set a backup task to be run everyday at 6 in the morning then the corn will per it's backup job at every 6 in the morning according to it's server clock.
11. Custom mail box: Whenever you register a domain name you get a custom mail box usually on your domain name e.g. If Facebook was your domain name then a custom email address on your name could be like shiv@facebook.com. 12.Custom error pages:A custom error page helps you create a error message page which you can then redirect using 401 and if a user misspells a URL then instead of returning an error message you visitor you can help him get redirected back to your home page or any other page that you may like. These custom error pages also help you maximize your traffic. 13.Control Panel: A control panel is where you manage all your website features and services. A control panel is used to login to ftp, create and manage emails, manage disk space, run corn jobs, check bandwidth usage etc.
14. Data Transfer: As discussed above, data transfer is same as Bandwidth usage. Check Bandwidth to know more in case if you don't.
15. DNS:Acronym for domain name server. Every domain name is joined with it's server ip address through DNS. So as you register a domain name it is then mapped with the server ip address so that whenever a person types in your domain name he/she gets transferred to the right server.
16. Dedicated Server: There are many kinds of server a web host has to offer which includes shared, virtual, dedicated and cloud hosting etc. A dedicated server is costly but it comes with little or no limitation. Your files are not shared and you have access to a full dedicated server and no one shares it with you. You can host as many files and sites as you want etc. To know more on more on Dedicated servers check Best servers for small business.
Note: I have tried my best to list all the web hosting terms in this web hosting dictionary to make it the best web hosting glocary for my visitors.
