  /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup all BACKUP.FILE

  2. Now copy the dump to the destination server using Parallel Plesk panel version 9 and convert the back-up to version 9 with pre9-backup-convert.

  /usr/local/psa/bin/pre9-backup-convert -v convert -d /var/lib/psa/dumps/ BACKUP.FILE

  Here /var/lib/psa/dumps is the Back-up directory on the destination Plesk panel 9.

  This creates number of backup XML files and subdirectories with data under /var/lib/psa/dumps/

  3. Log in to Plesk as administrator and change to the server backup repository

  HOME >>> BACK-UP MANAGER >>> SERVER REPOSITORY

  There is a list of back up files in the server repository.

  3. Now log in to Plesk as an administrator and create new client with the same login of migrated client.
  4.Now access local backup repository of the new client.

  Clients >>> Client Name >>> Back Manager.

  As the login of the new created client coincides with login of the client from the dump, the converted back up should be shown in repository.

  5.Click the back-up name to enter Back-up details page.
  6.As per requirement select the restoration options and hit Restore to initiate the restoration process.

  C] Domain Migration

  1. Login to the source server and create back up of the domain that needs to be migrated or the the entire server back-up with pleskbackup:

  /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup domains DOMAIN.NAME BACKUP.FILE

  OR

  /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup all BACKUP.FILE

  2. Copy the dump to destination Plesk panel 9 and convert the back up to version 9 with pre9-backup-convert.

  Various Important Features Of Windows Web Hosting Services.

  Microsoft, Web Hosting, Windows Web Hosting No Comments

  Why it is termed as Windows Web Hosting service?

  The Web Hosting service providers provide Microsoft’s Windows software on the server for the website to be hosted, hence the Web Hosting service is called as Windows Web Hosting service.

  There are basically two types of operating systems namely Windows and Linux, that are provided by the Web Hosting service providers. Windows website hosting is more user friendly interface than Linux web hosting. Windows hosting is more popular and preferred because it provides support for all the popular windows web services that is used in development. One more added advantage is that Windows has its own products and services.

  Windows web hosting has more benefits which is also one of the major reasons for its worldwide popularity. Both the operating systems have its individual features and have their own advantages and disadvantages. One major advantage is the .NET such as ASP.net technologies are supported in Windows Web Hosting services. If a website is already built using Microsoft’s .NET technology then the benefits of using this service can be experienced better. Windows web hosting can be the best possible solution if a website is designed with Microsoft Frontpage or web application with the use of Active Server Page (ASP).

  Windows website hosting is considered to be slower than Unix web hosting solution in terms of performance, but in terms of hardware efficiency Windows hosting solution is considered to be much more cost effective option. There is no denial to the fact that Linux website hosting is extremely efficient and offers cheap web hosting but it does not support applications like ASP or ASP.net applications that use windows platform.

  Windows Web Hosting and Linux Web Hosting : : Difference and Preference

  Linux Hosting, Linux web hosting, Micfo Web Hosting, Microsoft, Web Hosting, Windows Web Hosting No Comments

  There is a misconception in the web hosting industry about the selection of an operating system for hosting a website on a particular web-hosting account. Users think that if they use particular operating system on the personal computer, the same OS is necessary on the hosting account/servers, which isn’t true.

  There isn’t any compulsion of using the same operating system as that of the desktop. The hosted server can have different operating system.

  Both the technologies i.e. Windows Web Hosting and Linux Web Hosting are suitable for beginners, web developer professionals etc. Every technology amongst the two have distinct advantages for the users.

  

  Incase users are using Active Server pages or other Microsoft applications for designing the web pages, then Windows Hosting can be useful. The Windows platform offers reduced development time and better functionality for its databases. The major advantage of choosing a Microsoft Windows platform is the ability to use ASP, ASP.net and Access database in the web pages. The ASP.net and ASP offer rapid, scalable and efficient development environment for building the web-site. Along with MS Access these tools allows users to make website dynamic and more interactive.

  Windows Web Hosting platform is suitable for developing a static HTML based website that has Macro Media Flash or other scripting technologies. The Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 are suitable web hosting platforms for such usage.

  A common application that can be used on both the platforms is Microsoft Frontpage.

  The Linux Web Hosting solution is widely considered as the best operating system for the web hosting servers. Recently Linux has gained popularity due to its reliability, stability and its efficiency. It provides some of the best web and mail server environments.

  It offers PHP, Perl and My SQL. Linux functions well for brochure-ware websites which offer interaction through enquiry forms, e-commerce functions and online purchasing.

  Dedicated Server Hosting Service : An In-depth Explanation

  Dedicated Server Hosting, Micfo Web Hosting, Web Hosting No Comments

  Dedicated Server hosting service, managed hosting service or Dedicated server is one of the different types of Web Hosting service. Dedicated web hosting is more flexible type of web hosting solution as compared with other types of hosting solutions. The organization who have chosen a Dedicated hosting package from a Web Hosting firm, has the complete control over the server(s). The organization(s) can choose the operating system, hardware etc. to be installed on the server. As an add-on service, server administration can be offered by the web hosting firm. The dedicated servers are housed in data centers, just like collocation facilities, with a provision of redundant power sources and HVAC systems.

  

  The organization(s) can choose the operating system to be installed on the dedicated server. The Commercial operating systems include Microsoft Windows Server, it is offered through a special program known as the Microsoft SPLA. Different variations of Linux which is an open source operating system is usually included at zero charge for the customers. But Red Hat Enterprize is a commercial version of Linux which is offered to the hosting service providers with a monthly fee charged. The monthly charge provides updates on the OS through Red Hat Network.

  The support for any operating systems depends on the level of management offered with a particular dedicated server hosting plan provided by the hosting service provider. The updates include updates to the core system in order to acquire the up-to-date security fixes, system-wide vulnerability resolutions and patches, kernel upgrades, application updates, service packs etc.

  The data transfer rate or the amount of data that is carried from one point to other in a given time is known as Bandwidth. It is represented in bits per second.

  Methods of Bandwidth Measurement

  1. Unmetered Method : In this type of measurement the web hosting providers control the top line speed of the server. This speed in unmetered bandwidth is the total Mbits/sec allocated to the server and configured on the switch level.
  2. 95^th Method : The Line Speed billed on the 95^th percentile, average or peak usage, it refers to the speed in which data flows from the server or device. This measurement can be compared to the Miles Per Hour (mph) which means with what speed it travels. The Line speed is measured using bits per second, kilobits per second, megabits per second and gigabits per second.
  3. Total Transfer Method : Depending on the web hosting service provider, some calculate the Total Transfer, it is the measurement of the actual data arrival and leaving. It is measured in bytes.

  One of the following equations are used to measure:

  1^st Method : IN TRAFFIC + OUT TRAFFIC = TOTAL TRANSFER

  2^nd Method : IN TRAFFIC = TOTAL TRANSFER

  3^rd Method : OUT TRAFFIC = TOTAL TRANSFER

  Due to the availability of high powered networks from multiple providers people choose to outsource the dedicated servers. The server use large amounts of bandwidths. Usually the providers of dedicated servers include a service level agreement based on the network uptime.

  There are no clear industry standards set that can define the role of management of dedicated server providers. Every Web Hosting provider defines the term differently but use the industries standard term.

  Server Management includes the following:

  • Intrusion detection
  • Updates on Operating System
  • Database administration
  • Updates on Applications
  • Performance tuning
  • Server monitoring
  • Software configuration and installation
  • Simple Network Management Protocol hardware monitoring
  • User Management
  • Application monitoring
  • Consultation on Programming
  • Technical Support
  • Backups and restoration
  • Firewall Services
  • Disaster Recovery
  • Updates of Antivirus
  • DNS Hosting Service
  • Security Audits
  • DDoS protection and mitigation
  • Load Balancing

  Depending on the services offered, Dedicated hosting server providers define their level of management.

  The Dedicated hosting server providers usually provides the below mentioned types of Server management support

  - Fully Managed : This includes monitoring, security patches, software updates, operating system upgrades and reboots.

  - Self Managed : It includes regular monitoring and some maintenance.

  - Managed : This type of support includes medium level management, updates, limited support and monitoring.

  - Unmanaged : This includes little or no involvement from the web hosting service provider. Customers provide all the maintenance, patches, upgrades and security concerns.

  The Dedicated Hosting provider apply extreme security measures to ensure the data safety of the stored on their servers. The Web Hosting firm often deploy various software programs for scanning systems and network for spammers, invaders, attackers and other problems like Trojans, worms etc.

  Quick Overview Of Windows Web Hosting Solutions

  Dedicated Server Hosting, Micfo Web Hosting, Microsoft, Web Hosting, Windows Web Hosting No Comments

  The users who have hosted their websites on a Windows server do not get access to the operating system. Yet the operating system plays a crucial part in the web hosting account. It enables direct control, operation and administration of the server on which the website is installed. There are two types of operating system platforms to choose for hosting a website: Linux and Windows platforms. Below is a quick introduction of benefits of hosting a website on a Windows OS platform.

  Advantages of Windows Hosting for hosting a website on a Windows Server

  One major benefit of Windows Web Hosting is the ability to easily incorporate the number of Windows compatible technologies in the website. As we all are aware that Microsoft products are widely used across the world, the vendors constantly develop solutions to support the Windows platform. Alongwith ASP, one can make use of the programming languages like JavaScript, Cold Fusion, PHP and VB Scripts. Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) can be decided when choosing a Windows Web hosting solution on a dedicated server. This feature is not supported on most of the Unix and Linux systems.

  

  Understanding the Windows Technology

  Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 are powerful softwares that take the responsibility of serving the web pages on a Windows platform. These systems are capable, offer dynamic back end management and simple accessibility features. The Windows system supports variety of Microsoft technologies which can be used effectively as development tools.

  Microsoft Office Suite’s popular application “The Front Page” is a building tool that allows creating pages without any necessity of experience. This can also be done online with the associated server side extension. ASP (Active Server Pages) is another common technology offered by Windows, it is a Microsoft patented server side scripting language. Dynamic web pages can be created with the use of this programming language. While Unix or Linux platforms usually makes the use of of open source database systems such as the Postgre SQL and My SQL. Windows Web Hosting offers Microsoft Access or SQL Server. The different technologies are valuable features which offers many advantages to the website.

  Price Difference

  Previously Windows Web Hosting seemed to be more expensive hosting solution due to the exclusive use of Microsoft based servers and commercial products that require providers to pay licensing fees for its usage. But recently after the introduction of Linux Servers to the web hosting industry Windows Servers faced competition. Hence Windows packages can now be affordable though not as cheap as Linux packages.

  Summarizing everything and coming to a conclusion, Windows hosting no doubt yet remains a better option specially if user believes in Microsoft technologies.

  PHP and ASP are designed to perform the similar functions but Windows based scripts are bit more advanced. Internet web pages can be distinguished between: static pages and dynamic pages. Static web pages show simple contents which do not change throughout, whereas Dynamic web pages get modified when they reach the users computer. Java Script has the capability of automatically changing page appearance, a process known as the client side scripting. Scripts written in ASP can modify a page before it gets loaded in the web browser. This is known as the server-side scripting. The Dynamic web pages that are created in ASP are embedded in the base language and the URL.

  ASP enables web programmers create a web site and produce dynamic content based on commands. The powerful commands give users more control over the web pages and hence the complete web-site. Integration with MS SQL provides strength to ASP and also allows users to build a phenomenal website without self scripting the design, other contents and background for each page. Database is an essential element in the appearance of a website. ASP pages do not necessarily need the aid of a database for loading the dynamic content.

  ASP’s role in Enhancing Web Hosting
