Why? Every time someone keys in a website name (URL) on their desktop, laptop, notebook, tablet or smartphone, a domain name server (DNS) translates that text in hexadecimal Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Those addresses identify where that website resides (on what server).<\/p>\n<p>The Internet utilizes a distributed hierarchy of DNS servers globally. At the top of that hierarchy are root servers, 13 in total, that store a complete database of websites and their associated IP addresses. Ten of those are located in the United States of America.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of DNS servers are owned by businesses or ISP&#8217;s. Just as Google uses its own DNS servers to manage Google.com and other domains, businesses can and do maintain their own DNS servers for the same purpose.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FTP_Server\"><\/span>FTP Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are a number of advantages to using a VPS as a dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/26108\/ftp-server\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">FTP server<\/a>, one of which is that it gives you a deeper level of security, than say unlimited cloud services. With a dedicated FTP server, you can disallow access based on factors like country of origin, IP address or other variables. You&#8217;ll also be able to customize it to allow access from user accounts to the specific information they need on the server.<\/p>\n<p>In Linux, we recommend that you\u00a0use SFTP.\u00a0This<b>\u00a0<\/b>stands for SSH File Transfer Protocol, or Secure File Transfer Protocol, which is a separate protocol packaged with SSH that works in a similar way over a secure connection. I&#8217;d seen a number of WordPress sites compromised via hacked FTP accounts, and that&#8217;s not pretty to deal with after the fact. Go SFTP and save yourself some headaches down the line.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Forums\"><\/span>Forums<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It seems there are thousands of forums online, covering everything from automobiles, fashion, body building and professional sports &#8211; to web hosting. On any given day, there are millions of members and guests on these communities sharing complaints, recommendations and conjecture.<\/p>\n<p>Shared hosting works well for new forums, but once a forum grows, they often need to step up to either VPS services or a dedicated server. Why? VPS services give forum owners and administrators virtualized resources that aren&#8217;t shared, specifically in terms of vCores, RAM and disk space. It also allows them to customize applications that may or not be allowed on shared accounts.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Repository\"><\/span>Repository<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/computer-science\/digital-repository\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">digital repository<\/a> is an online archive for the storage of digital objects; these can range from digital archives, manuscripts, still or moving\u00a0image galleries or\u00a0anything that is in electronic format and needs a place to be stored either\u00a0short or long term. The possibilities for what objects you could store is endless, so let your imagination be your guide.<\/p>\n<p>Some examples could be reports, educational theses, articles, chapters of books, podcasts or simply photos of products &#8211; or on a more personal level, family photos.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VPN_Endpoint\"><\/span>VPN Endpoint<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Essentially, endpoints are where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisco.com\/c\/en\/us\/products\/security\/vpn-endpoint-security-clients\/what-is-vpn.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Virtual Private Networks<\/a> (VPN)\u00a0terminate. The connections transverse from one VPN endpoint device to another VPN endpoint device. This is facilitated via a digital tunnel between two separate networks. Why set this up? This puts those networks behind routers\/firewalls as opposed to tunneling into a specific server or computer.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935.jpg\" alt=\"ProlimeHost RAID Server Solutions\" width=\"400\" height=\"80\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BROUGHT_TO_YOU_BY_PROLIMEHOST\"><\/span>BROUGHT TO YOU BY PROLIMEHOST<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019ve been in the web hosting industry for over a decade, helping hundreds of clients succeed in what they do best and that\u2019s running their business.
