Chillendra Chillendra
Singers: Kaushiki Chakrabarty, M.Ghibran, Munna Shaaukat Ali, Sundar Narayana Rao
Lyrics: Kaadhal Mathi, Munna Shaaukat Ali
The interesting album begins with a beautiful fusion between Qawwali and Melody. The breezy orchestration and wonderful chorus keeps the track going and interestingly the song is based on Carnatic Harikambhoji scale (C Major in Western Classical Music). While the male singer sings in Tamil, the female singer replies gracefully in Hindi- making it a winner!
Enthaaraa Enthaaraa
Singers: Chimayi, Shadab Faridi
Lyrics: Karthik Netha
The track begins with lilting piano with trance like orchestration leading to a wondrous world of the pallavi with confident voice of Shadab Faridi and Chinmayi. While Shadab Faridi’s singing style reminds of Kailash Kher when he sings the higher octaves, his voice is mesmerizingly complemented by the lower octave singing of Chinmayi. The recurring piano gives a great feel to the song and the trace beats make it even better. The track sure sounds like a new experimentation in terms of composing and sound highly promising from a composer like Ghibran- who is known for versatility!
Kannukkul Pothivaippen
Singers: Charulatha Mani, Dr. R.Ganesh, Sadhana Sargam, Vijay Prakash
Lyrics: Parvathy
Carnatic styled vocals are supported brilliantly by sequencing and trance orchestration. The beautiful aspect is that- the orchestration never overrides the lead singing. The song begins with Carnatic ragam Bhairavi leading gracefully to Hindustani Raag Behag and the singers do a phenomenal job. The Jaltarang touch in the orchestration is another highlight for a track like this.
Rayile Raa
Singers: Ashwitha, “Isai Mazhalai” Haresh, Bonnie Chakrabarty, Nivas
Lyrics: Thenmozhi Das
The track begins most unusually with sound of a child crying which is sequenced skillfully leading to an industrial sound, where experimentation has no limit! Interestingly the song is based on Carnatic Raaga Keeravani scale brilliantly woven in the midst of House mix and superior sequencing. The long winding progressive vocal melody leads to a punchy and memorable chorus. Though it is paced up, the track carries a tense feeling throughout including the interludes.
Yaaro Ival
Singers: Yazin Nizar
Lyrics: Parvathy
The track begins brilliantly with electric guitar and a faint solo humming supported prodigiously by string section. Yazin Nizar delivers par excellence in terms of vocals and the track is almost perfectly supported by the percussions and timely chorus. Though it follows Western Classical C Major scale essentially throughout, Ghibran gives additional touches to the song by slightly deviating from it in appropriate times.
Kwaja Ji
Singers: Aritullah Shah Khalif-e-Rifayee and group
Lyrics: Nizami
A traditional Dargah track arrives finally, delivered perfectly by Aritullah Shah Khalif- e- Rifayee and group. The song has a peaceful feel throughout and the vocalists provide all what the track needs! The track is based on Carnatic Raagam Mohanam sung in Hindustani style.
Pizza II: Villa (2013)
Cast : Ashok Selvan, Sanchita Shetty
Music : Santhosh Narayanan
Avg user rating : 4 out of 5
Gripping Suspense Thriller
Short filmmaker and finalist of the popular reality TV show,Nalaya Iyakunar, Deepan Chakravarthy graduates to mainstream cinema with Pizza 2-Villa.
Studio Green and C V Kumar of Thiru Kumaran Entertainments, who produced the huge blockbusters Pizzaand Soodhu Kavvum, jointly produce the film.
Pizza 2-Villa has Ashok Selvan and Sanchitha Shetty playing the lead along with Nasser and S J Surya in significant roles.
There was much speculation about the film being a sequel to Pizza, which was one of the most original and acclaimed horror movies of recent years.
Download this in Lotus DVDRip [710.62 MB] / Lotus 720p [1.49 GB]
Besides the title, however, Pizza 2-Villa has absolutely no connection to that film; the name has been used as a franchise by the producer, who perhaps plans to release an entire Pizza series.
The story of Pizza 2-Villa revolves around a young writer, Jebin (Ashok Selvan), who has inherited a villa in Puducherry after his father Nasser’s death. Aarthi (Sanchitha Shetty) a painter is his love interest.
Although Jebin wants to sell the villa, he moves in temporarily to write his second book.
He finds the house full of beautiful antique furniture and paintings. One particular painting, which seems like the blueprint of the house, leads him to a locked room, where he finds still more paintings.
To his surprise, Jebin finds that the paintings tell a story, in sequence, which pretty much reflects his own life story, accurately predicting the events happening in his life and ending with his violent death. Jebin feels helpless and terrified as things continue to happen as predicted.
The suspense lies in whether he can escape the prophetic end.
Ashok Selvan and Sanchitha Shetty have turned in good performances. Nasser appears briefly and as usual has given a competent performance.
The film is deliberately slow-paced, unfolding gradually with nothing too creepy--no gory death scenes or disgusting supernatural creatures.
Santhosh Narayanan’s music for the most part has the piano playing a haunting melody and an orchestra playing some wonderful music in the background.
Pizza 2-Villa is not a traditional horror film; it is more of a gripping suspense thriller.
Full credit goes to the director for maintaining the suspense and keeping the audience engrossed until the very end.
The film has maintained its ambience throughout with excellent cinematography by Deepak Kumar Padhy, sleek editing by Leo John Paul and great music.
The only negative in the film would be the excessive scientific explanations provided to justify the supernatural happenings.
Pizza 2-Villa is a welcome break from all the mushy romantic comedies that have been flooding the market this year.
Soodhu Kavvum (2013)
Cast : Vijay Sethupathi, Sanchita Shetty
Music : Santosh Narayanan
Producer : C. V. Kumar
Year : 2013
Avg user rating : 4 out of 5
Take a bow Nalan Kumarasamy , for taking the road less travelled. Soodhu Kavvum is a pathbreaker, a different kind of film that has not been seen in Tamil cinema.
Nalan Kumarasamy is a daring director to make a black comedy at a time when Tamil cinema is being bombarded by slapstick comedies. Soodhu Kavvum works big time due to smart writing and perfect characterisation. The humour is part of the story and not thrust in as characterisation is real.
The most solid of the new breed actors Vijay Sethupathy as the 40 plus anti-hero and all new actors in supporting cast are apt and they make the film crackle. The packaging and shot composition of the film is also done in a different style, which has not been seen before.

Das (Vijay Sethupathy) is an ageing 40 plus guy who makes a living out of kidnapping! He is guided by his girlfriend (Sanchita Shetty) who appears in his dreams and only he can see (fab idea) and acts as his conscience keeper and confidant. He meets up with three out of work guys and free-loaders and they form a team who kidnap only middle-class people! One day they land up kidnapping a minister’s son and the fun begins.
The film has some of the best conceptualised scenes. The pick of the lot is when Das and his gang kidnap a bank manager’s daughter and the candid and absolutely chilled out way they do it. The climax is a scream. If we say more it will act as spoilers.
Vijay Sethupathy steals the show with his shaggy salt and pepper beard and a paunch. His body language and dialogue delivery makes the character come alive and the audiences will root for him. Sanchita Shetty as his girlfriend is smashing and delivers some one-liners with perfect lip sync. All the other newcomers like Simhaa, Ashok Selvan and RJ Ramesh are fantastic and have equal footage.
If you are looking for minus points it is the songs which act as speedbreakers and post interval the film slows down. The songs should have been only used for the promotions. However can’t blame Nalan when he has a music director like Santhosh Narayan and a peppy number like ‘Kasu Panam’ and picturised like music videos.
Final verdict on Soodhu Kavvum is that it is a gutsy great film. It is one of the best films to have emerged out of Kollywood in a long, long time. The treatment is different and the dialogues hilarious making it an enjoyable fun ride.

LG G Pro Lite review
LG seems to be targeting the price-conscious Indian market with a vengeance. The South Korean handset maker has been aggressive lately in terms of releasing smartphones across various price segments, something Samsung has been doing for years. Hot on the heels of the power-packed LG G2 comes the relatively low-powered, but also more pocket-friendly, LG G Pro Lite. The 5.5-inch phablet is a variant of the Optimus G Pro launched earlier this year. The G Pro Lite is an affordable Android device when compared to a flagship, targeted at those who want to experience the best in terms of design, software and hardware without spending a bomb. Will G Pro Lite be able to revive the mid-range segment which is already losing steam? That still remains to be seen. |
Design/ Build
The LG Optimus G Pro features a physical button for home on the front panel accompanied by back and menu buttons, while the G Pro Lite comes with four touch keys for back, home, settings and a dedicated hot key for SIM switch. The front of the LG G Pro Lite, made of glass, is mainly dominated by its 5.5-inch qHD display. The bezel on the sides of the screen is narrow, though when noticed closely is surrounded by a small black border.
The 1.3-megapixel front facing camera and the sensor array sit above the display along with an earpiece grill. There is also LG branding on the front panel, between the display and earpiece grill.
The power button on the G Pro Lite is located on the right panel of the phone, while a customisable 'QuickButton' and the volume control buttons are placed on the left panel.
We were disappointed to see the power button of the LG G Pro Lite placed a bit upwards on the right panel, we wish it could have been placed a little lower as that would make hitting it a bit easier. Next we ended up pressing the QuickButton shortcut instead of the volume rocker buttons often, again because of awkward placement of the buttons. For a smartphone this big, we hope that the volume rocker button could have been placed a little higher.
The 3.5mm audio jack, Infrared Blaster and an additional microphone sits at the top panel of the G Pro Lite and there is a stylus port at the top right corner of the phablet.
The Micro-USB port and the microphone are located at the bottom accompanied by dual speakers; something that we could say is an addition to the G Pro Lite, when compared to its predecessor.
An aluminium frame runs through the phone separating the back and front panels and we must confess that it does give the G Pro Lite a premium look. The frame is visible as a thin line at the left and right sides, but widens at the top and bottom.
Much like the Optimus G Pro, the LG G Pro Lite comes with removable back panel. The rear panel is made of plastic and can be removed through a small gap at the right side of the phablet. The back has a glossy finish and is prone to smudges. Being a plastic back, the phone does seem slippery when used for long durations and also doesn't provide a good grip.
There is an 8-megapixel camera accompanied by an LED flash at the back. Notably, the camera lens is surrounded by a raised, circular in shape enclosure which is very much visible. LG branding is also present at the back of the G Pro Lite, in the middle.
The LG G Pro Lite as anyone would expect is not very easy to use with one hand, unless you have big palms. However, we would say it's not impossible to hold G Pro Lite one-handed, but stretching the thumb all the way across the display feels uneasy at best, and for many users - it could even a deal breaker. Also due to the sheer size the LG G Pro Lite barely fits into pockets and usually was visible out of our pocket.
Display
| The LG G Pro Lite comes with a 5.5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 540x960 pixels and the pixel density stands at mediocre 200ppi. LG has given a miss to Corning's Gorilla Glass 2 that resists scratches, which is expected since it's a mid-range phone. The company has thankfully not compromised on the display size but has dropped the resolution of the G Pro Lite considerably, when compared to the Optimus G Pro which features a full-HD (1080x1920) display. In terms of performance, the G Pro Lite's 5.5-inch display is a bit mixed bag - on one hand, it has vibrant colours and respectable contrast. On the other hand, it has pretty low-resolution 540x960 pixels, which is evident when watching a video or even browsing through images on the Web. The resolution and pixel density of the LG G Pro Lite is far lower than some of its competitors in the price segment like the Micromax Canvas Turbo which boasts a full-HD display and Karbonn's Titanium X again with full-HD display. |
The display produced bright whites and vibrant colours; however the G Pro Lite's IPS display does not produce deep blacks, when compared to an AMOLED display.
While the LG G Pro Lite renders images and text sharply, we observed that it appears to be slightly washed out due to the low resolution of the screen. The viewing angles on the smartphone are not that great and when you tilt the G Pro Lite, one can notice colours losing their saturation.
The touch sensitivity of the LG G Pro Lite is impressive and we did not encounter any issues while using the phablet. Sunlight legibility on the LG G Pro Lite was good when we used the phone with brightness set to the highest level, though the screen is reflective to some extent.
Camera
The LG G Pro Lite sports an 8-megapixel rear camera with BSI (back-side illuminated) sensor and also houses a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera.
The G Pro Lite's camera app borrows a lot of features from its elder sibling, the Optimus G Pro. The camera app on the phablet includes a customisable quick menu on one of the sides, which includes controls for switching between the front and rear cameras, turning on the Intelligent Auto (flash) mode, switching between normal, panorama, continuous shot, beauty shot, sports and night modes and for accessing the camera settings.
Notably, the LG G Pro Lite offers the same settings for voice-activated shutter which is found on the Optimus G Pro, which pictures with voice commands like 'cheese', 'kimchi', 'LG', 'Smile' and 'Whisky'. The camera app on G Pro Lite also offers options like focus, zoom, brightness, image size, scene modes, ISO, white balance, colour effects, timer, geo-tagging, shutter sound and image storage.
The Continuous shot mode takes up to 20 images in one go, when pressed the click on-screen button/ volume rocker button. The LG G Pro Lite's volume buttons also double up as shutter keys when you're in the app, although there is an on-screen shutter button as well. The camera app also offers a shortcut to the gallery and also offers 4x zoom, which can be controlled by pinching in and out.
In our testing of the G Pro Lite's rear camera in outdoor, dim and indoor conditions, we found that images taken outdoors during daylight came out well, except that colours were a little over-saturated, and at times noticed noise at edges; you can also see missing details if you zoomed in a clicked image.
Other than that, we found the quality of the images clicked by the LG G Pro Lite taken in sufficient light to be satisfactory. However, the same could not be said for indoor and dim light shots, the quality did drop and looked soft and not as crisp as those clicked in well-lit situations. While there was some noise and loss of detail in low-light shots, we would say the performance was quite decent at the price.
The LG G Pro Lite also features a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera that can be used for selfies and for video chats. Although, we found videos and images captured indoors or even outdoors through this camera were a bit grainy.
Software
At a time when the world is waiting for Android KitKat to arrive on its handsets, LG has used Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for the G Pro Lite, which is extremely disappointing, to say the least.
We were hoping the G Pro Lite to run Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean at least, considering that the LG G2 smartphone which was announced in August and natively ran Android 4.2.2 out-of-the-box.
Performance/ Battery Life
| The LG G Pro Lite is powered by a 1GHz dual-core MediaTek 6577 processor along with 1GB of RAM. It comes with 8GB of inbuilt storage, out of which only 4.8GB is user-accessible, though it supports expandable storage up to 32GB via microSD card. Yes, it comes with 50GB of Box app (cloud) space free for limited period; however, we assume that cloud storage is not always handy. Without any doubts, the G Pro Lite's specifications sound quite acceptable on paper. We found the phablet to be slightly laggy in launching some apps like Temple Run 2 and Instagram, however, running the apps was fine. Admittedly, the lag is not that consistent but considering that a dual-core processor backs the device. In day-to-day activities the phablet feels smooth enough and you are not really left wanting for more power until you are stuck with a heavy graphics game, which run with lag, but remain relatively playable. On the sound front, the LG G Pro Lite impressed us much like the Optimus G Pro. The device features dual speakers at the bottom panel which are quiet loud, though it is not comparable to HTC's BoomSound which is backed by an amplifier. |
The 5.5-inch qHD display is good for viewing movies and videos. The G Pro Lite was able to play full-HD videos and supported popular video formats like .AVI, .MOV, and .MP4.
The G Pro Lite also managed to play the .MKV video but couldn't play the audio, a format that has not been fully supportive on other Android smartphones as well. Using a third-party player solved the problem.
The G Pro Lite also managed to play the .MKV video but couldn't play the audio, a format that has not been fully supportive on other Android smartphones as well. Using a third-party player solved the problem.
Call quality on the G Pro Lite was impressive and we did not encounter any problems with the call clarity and voice through the earpiece grill. We can safely say that users can talk for long hours on the G Pro Lite, without any issues. However, the device's size could be a concern, when talking for longer periods.
The LG G Pro Lite ships with a 3140mAh battery that is rated to deliver up to 845 hours of standby and up to 14 hours of talktime. However, based on our testing, the G Pro Lite is an average performer when it comes to battery performance.
We were able to get about 10-12 hours with normal usage on the G Pro Lite that included Wi-Fi switched on for all time; Web browsing for more than an hour; a few calls lasting for about two hours; display set on auto-brightness and with the usual notifications for messages, emails, Facebook, hike and WhatsApp.
With heavy usage of the G Pro Lite, that included - full screen brightness level, calls lasting for about an hour, 3G turned on all time, clicking casual shots with some tweaking via phablet's default camera app, watching videos for around two hours through YouTube and also on the device, two to three hours of gaming that, and with usual notifications for messages, emails, Facebook, Twitter, Google Hangouts and WhatsApp - the device lasted for only about 7-8 hours which cannot be said to be impressive, considering the G Pro Lite is a dual-core phablet with 3140mAh battery and it does not feature a HD display. However, altering these settings can help in increasing the durability of the phone for longer period.
What is Email Hosting?
Most web hosting companies provide you with email hosting as well; however, the email hosting service provided by web hosting companies for the most part only supplies you with POP3 email and the basics in spam/virus protection and other features. Additionally, some of the free email hosting providers are ad-supported. Again, if you own a small or medium sized business (SME), then you should not want to operate your business email using one of these providers since the email service is typically sub-par as compared to a professional email hosting service.
Using a professional email hosting service should give you peace of mind. You should be able to focus on your business while the email hosting provider manages your email service. Most email hosting providers offer a rich set of webmail features including unlimited aliases, unlimited forwarders, autoresponders, large attachments, robust spam/virus protection, mail rules, IMAP/POP3, online storage, calendars, mailing lists, whitelists, blacklists, backups, archiving, folder management, contacts management, etc. You would also be able to access your email from anywhere using webmail, smartphone and your favorite email client such as Outlook.
Best of all, professional email hosting service is very affordable. It eliminates the need for in-house email servers and IT people to manage those email servers. Compare email hosting providers by taking advantage of the free trials that most email hosting companies tend to provide and then choose the one that works best for your needs.

What is Web Hosting
Web Hosting is the service providing space on the Internet for websites
Domain Names
Before we jump into the different types of web hosting, it’s important to remember you have to have a domain name so your website can be found on the Internet. The domain name is essentially your company’s Internet address; the same way your company’s street address is used to find your offices, a domain name is used to find your website. Considering this, pick a domain name that’s memorable and relevant!
Since domains are so simple, buying them is too.
Types of Web Hosting
As technology has progressed different types of web hosting have appeared to meet the different needs of websites and customers:
Shared Web Hosting
Shared web hosting is the most common type of web hosting, and is also the easiest to start out on. Shared hosting is a service where one server is shared between many customers. This typically offers the following advantages and disadvantages:
1)It's cheaper – you don't need to pay for the whole server upfront.
2)It's easier to use – the server is preconfigured with the most popular options and your hosting company will take care of any maintenance and security updates for you.
3)You share the server resources with your neighbors – if one site becomes really busy it may affect (and slow down) all other sites on that server.
4)It can be less flexible – like living in a shared apartment block your neighbors need to be considered. Similar to exclusions on keeping pets or throwing wild parties (but less fun), you probably won't be able to block a specific port or modify a core component.
Because shared web hosting is the most common type of web hosting, most hosting companies simply refer to it as web hosting or website hosting.
Website Builder
Website Builder software is provided by the web hoster at free of cost while signup. website builder is the easiest way to build a website. The site builder provides hundreds of professionally designed templates that can be completely customized to make your website exactly they way you want it; no prior experience necessary. The website builder includes a free domain name and a web hosting account that is setup automatically.
The website builder solution has the following advantages and disadvantages:
1)Easiest way to get online – With no additional learning required and hundreds of included templates, you’ll be online in no time.
2)Professional results at a low cost – Paying a good web designer to create a website you’re proud to share can cost a lot of money, especially if a mobile site is included; the Midphase Website Builder gives you all that for a low monthly cost and gives you the opportunity to edit your site anytime.
3)Large ecommerce websites are tricky – Although you can sell products and services with the website builder, it can get tricky if you have hundreds of products in which you are selling online.
4)Highly custom website functionality is hard – Although you have the ability to embed code and change the code for your website, it can be hard to do highly custom stuff with scrolling, HTML5, image display, etc. If you don’t know how to do it now, then it won’t be a problem when you use the online website builder software.
Cloud Hosting
Cloud hosting is essentially a meeting place half way between shared hosting and dedicated hosting, yet has some pretty cool advantages as well. Cloud servers still share the physical server hardware with other cloud servers, but special virtualization technology partitions, or splits-up, the physical hardware so that each cloud server has its own dedicated resources and can be configured almost like a fully dedicated server.
VPS customers still share the physical server hardware with other VPS customers, but special virtualization technology partitions the server so that each partition has its own dedicated resources and can be configured almost like a full dedicated server.
This typically offers the following advantages and disadvantages:
1)Get the most flexibility - cloud servers provide the most flexible environment available in the hosting sphere. The cloud adapts to physical hardware problems and puts your site in a reliable location automatically. It also offers a fast and seamless upgrade option for those times when website traffic gets high.
2)Your website will have dedicated resources – with dedicated bandwidth, CPU and memory. So even though you are sharing server equipment with your neighbors, you are not sharing the resources that you purchased. That way, those high traffic neighbors sharing the same equipment won’t be stealing your server resources when you need them for your business.
3)Fewer websites occupy the same server – your website will have more resources at its disposal than shared web hosting.
4)Freedom to configure your server – the virtualization software provides much more freedom to make your server they way you want it; but it also assumes a higher level of technical experience.
Dedicated Hosting
Dedicated server hosting is the meat of hosting. Just like it sounds, you get your own server and all its resources, dedicated to you for your use and no one else. It’s the difference between living in an apartment building and sharing that building with others, compared to living in your own mansion. Dedicated hosting typically offers the following advantages and disadvantages.
1)Flexiblility & customization – you can choose the exact hardware and software specifications of the server to meet your needs.
2)Dedicated resources and guaranteed performance – you don't share your server resources with anyone else.
3)Full control – you have full root access to your dedicated servers and can configure and tweak your setup to meet your needs.
4)Prior technical knowledge is required – it will be your responsibility to manage and configure the server.
5)More expensive – the cost of the server isn't shared with any other customers.

When you make a website and want other people to see it, you will need to publish (or upload) it with a web hosting service. Web hosting services work by storing your website files in high-powered computers (web servers) connected to a very fast network. When someone types in your web address (such as www.google.com (or) www.ebay.com), the Internet connects to the web server holding your website files and then transfers your website information back to their computer. From there they can surf and view the pages of your website. |
Domain Names
Before we jump into the different types of web hosting, it’s important to remember you have to have a domain name so your website can be found on the Internet. The domain name is essentially your company’s Internet address; the same way your company’s street address is used to find your offices, a domain name is used to find your website. Considering this, pick a domain name that’s memorable and relevant!
Since domains are so simple, buying them is too.
As technology has progressed different types of web hosting have appeared to meet the different needs of websites and customers:
Shared Web Hosting
Shared web hosting is the most common type of web hosting, and is also the easiest to start out on. Shared hosting is a service where one server is shared between many customers. This typically offers the following advantages and disadvantages:
1)It's cheaper – you don't need to pay for the whole server upfront.
2)It's easier to use – the server is preconfigured with the most popular options and your hosting company will take care of any maintenance and security updates for you.
3)You share the server resources with your neighbors – if one site becomes really busy it may affect (and slow down) all other sites on that server.
4)It can be less flexible – like living in a shared apartment block your neighbors need to be considered. Similar to exclusions on keeping pets or throwing wild parties (but less fun), you probably won't be able to block a specific port or modify a core component.
Because shared web hosting is the most common type of web hosting, most hosting companies simply refer to it as web hosting or website hosting.
Website Builder
Website Builder software is provided by the web hoster at free of cost while signup. website builder is the easiest way to build a website. The site builder provides hundreds of professionally designed templates that can be completely customized to make your website exactly they way you want it; no prior experience necessary. The website builder includes a free domain name and a web hosting account that is setup automatically.
The website builder solution has the following advantages and disadvantages:
1)Easiest way to get online – With no additional learning required and hundreds of included templates, you’ll be online in no time.
2)Professional results at a low cost – Paying a good web designer to create a website you’re proud to share can cost a lot of money, especially if a mobile site is included; the Midphase Website Builder gives you all that for a low monthly cost and gives you the opportunity to edit your site anytime.
3)Large ecommerce websites are tricky – Although you can sell products and services with the website builder, it can get tricky if you have hundreds of products in which you are selling online.
4)Highly custom website functionality is hard – Although you have the ability to embed code and change the code for your website, it can be hard to do highly custom stuff with scrolling, HTML5, image display, etc. If you don’t know how to do it now, then it won’t be a problem when you use the online website builder software.
Cloud hosting is essentially a meeting place half way between shared hosting and dedicated hosting, yet has some pretty cool advantages as well. Cloud servers still share the physical server hardware with other cloud servers, but special virtualization technology partitions, or splits-up, the physical hardware so that each cloud server has its own dedicated resources and can be configured almost like a fully dedicated server.
VPS customers still share the physical server hardware with other VPS customers, but special virtualization technology partitions the server so that each partition has its own dedicated resources and can be configured almost like a full dedicated server.
This typically offers the following advantages and disadvantages:
1)Get the most flexibility - cloud servers provide the most flexible environment available in the hosting sphere. The cloud adapts to physical hardware problems and puts your site in a reliable location automatically. It also offers a fast and seamless upgrade option for those times when website traffic gets high.
2)Your website will have dedicated resources – with dedicated bandwidth, CPU and memory. So even though you are sharing server equipment with your neighbors, you are not sharing the resources that you purchased. That way, those high traffic neighbors sharing the same equipment won’t be stealing your server resources when you need them for your business.
3)Fewer websites occupy the same server – your website will have more resources at its disposal than shared web hosting.
4)Freedom to configure your server – the virtualization software provides much more freedom to make your server they way you want it; but it also assumes a higher level of technical experience.
Dedicated Hosting
Dedicated server hosting is the meat of hosting. Just like it sounds, you get your own server and all its resources, dedicated to you for your use and no one else. It’s the difference between living in an apartment building and sharing that building with others, compared to living in your own mansion. Dedicated hosting typically offers the following advantages and disadvantages.
1)Flexiblility & customization – you can choose the exact hardware and software specifications of the server to meet your needs.
2)Dedicated resources and guaranteed performance – you don't share your server resources with anyone else.
3)Full control – you have full root access to your dedicated servers and can configure and tweak your setup to meet your needs.
4)Prior technical knowledge is required – it will be your responsibility to manage and configure the server.
5)More expensive – the cost of the server isn't shared with any other customers.
