HostingLair is a great site. Nowadays, when thousands of web hosting providers offer all kinds of "to good to be true" hosting plans and when almost every site recommends specific hosting company not because of it's competence and quality but because the hosting company pays the most, HostingLair is a valuable source dedicated to helping customers understand web hosting issues and detect reliable and trustworthy hosting providers. This site explains basic web hosting concepts and displays tried and true hosting providers. Hosting providers are not recommended in accordance with the money they pay but were selected on the basis of experience numerous customers have had with a specific company. The proof of this is that anyone can clearly see that if the money was the key, there were certainly "better" companies to recommend. This site saves you a lot of time and helps you find reputable web hosting provider as soon as possible. read more...

  • Keywords are the weapon of your success in SEO; use those keywords that are directly related or targeted to your business theme.

  • Take care not to crowd your site content with keywords. Also, spread them throughout the content rather than mostly at the beginning or at the end.

  • Back-links are important so build links with potential partners that can generate traffic to your site.

  • Choose good titles and Meta tags. Good titles include suitable, targeted, theme based, precise keywords. Phrases in Meta tags help spiders undersdand and your pages easily.

  • Build pages that are easy to load. Don’t make pages with large images, but if images are necessary, do this: Make a thumbnail and link it with full image page to add more pages and text which spiders love.

Do you want to make your desktop box a server that you (and your friends) can access by name? This may be for you...
  • Host your own site on your own connection from home/work/school/etc
  • Access your computer with a name (like zeus.afraid.org or yourdomain.com) instead of a numeric IP address
  • Run your own http server, ftp server, or anything you want to install on your computer/server
  • Fetchable URL to update your IP instantly on our network if you have a dynamic address
  • Hosts even work for your LAN. If you have a LAN connected to the internet you can point hosts to private IP addresses (even private IPv6 addresses) and they will work within your network
  • Let your friends point theirname.yourdomain.com to their own connection

Understanding the Linux /proc filesystem

Up
vote
Down

Here's a nice guide to the /proc filesystem and its secrets...
When it comes down to it, /proc is a filesystem. Although it does not represent any physical device, you can still mount it and unmount it as you please. It contains a multitude of valuable information regarding the processes you are running, as well as the hardware you have hooked up to your computer (although in recent years, /sys has been devised by the Kernel folks to represent the hardware hierarchy and export device information ). You can see which modules you have loaded, how long your system has been up, and the memory usage of processes on your system. In fact, every single process running has an entry, or directory, inside /proc. As you can see, /proc can be a very powerful asset. But before you can use it, you need to mount it.

The Math of Subnetting Networks

Up
vote
Down

If you don't know what network subnetting is, don't start here...
This document will cover two quick ways for figuring out the numbers behind subnetting. The first way involves making a simple chart, the second way uses simple math that most people can do in their head, at least for smaller numbers. The first way is recommended for any exams, or times when you need to do a lot of subnetting quickly. The second way works best if you just need to know one or two examples, or to check your work from the chart.

IP Addressing - An Introduction

Up
vote
Down

IP Addressing

An IP address is a unique logical identifier for a node or host connection on an IP network. IP address is a 32 bit binary number, and represented by 4 decimal values of 8 bits each. The decimal values range from 0 to 255. This is known as "dotted decimal" notation.

Example: 192.189.210.078

It is sometimes useful to view the values in their binary form.

Dotted decimal: 192 .189 .210 .078
Binary: 11000000.10111101.11010010.1001110

Every IP address consists of network identifier and node identifier. The IP network is divided based on Class of network. The class of network is determined by the leading bits of the IP address as shown below.

IP Address Classes

There are 5 different address classes. You can determine which class any IP address is in by examining the first 4 bits of the IP address.

  • Class A addresses begin with 0xxx, or 1 to 126 decimal.

  • Class B addresses begin with 10xx, or 128 to 191 decimal.

  • Class C addresses begin with 110x, or 192 to 223 decimal.

  • Class D addresses begin with 1110, or 224 to 239 decimal.

  • Class E addresses begin with 1111, or 240 to 254 decimal.
Addresses beginning with 01111111, or 127 decimal, are reserved for loopback and for internal testing on a local machine. Class D addresses are reserved for multicasting. Class E addresses are reserved for future use. They should not be used for host addresses.

Now we can see how the Class determines, by default, which part of the IP address belongs to the network (N) and which part belongs to the Host/node (H).
  • Class A: NNNNNNNN.HHHHHHHH.HHHHHHHH.HHHHHHHH


  • Class B: NNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN.HHHHHHHH.HHHHHHHH


  • Class C: NNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN.HHHHHHHH

In the example, 192.189.210.078 is a Class C address so by default the Network part of the address (also known as the Network Address) is defined by the first three octets (192.189.210.XXX) and the node part is defined by the last one octets (XXX.XXX.XXX.078).

In order to specify the network address for a given IP address, the node section is set to all "0"s. In our example, 192.189.210.0 specifies the network address for 192.189.210.078. When the node section is set to all "1"s, it specifies a broadcast that is sent to all hosts on the network. 192.189.210.255 specifies the broadcast address.

Private Subnets

There are three IP network addresses reserved for private networks. The addresses are 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16. They can be used by anyone setting up internal IP networks, such as an intranet. Internet routers never forward the private addresses over the public Internet.
