Webmasters5 Reasons You Need A VPS by ib22003(op): 7:09pm On Jan 05, 2016
Information Access and Collaboration On the Go

If you’re like me, you might have found yourself in this situation; you go out, end up unexpectedly doing a bit of shopping, and finally realize you left your shopping list at home.

You could have written your shopping list on your phone initially, but let’s face it – that’s not always practical. Sometimes your spouse or flatmate might want to update the list. You might also want to type/update your list on a real keyboard for efficiency, but not have synced your phone. In either case, you’ll find yourself all out of luck.

However, by running your own personal, private wiki, you can access it any time – on a spare computer at a store, on your phone, or anything else. You can even cross off purchases as you go, so your spouse won’t purchase the same things again if they happens to go out at the same time.

You could use Google Docs or similar for this purpose, but not everyone wants to trust Google with their documents. Not everyone cares to have a Google Account. If you run your own wiki server, you control your data.

On that note, the same could be said for syncing browser bookmarks and other information. Firefox Sync for example allows you to sync bookmarks with your own server.
File Storage

Heard of Google Music? Simply, it is a service that uploads your music collection to Google’s servers for streaming it back to your computers and devices later. Put even more simply? Storage exclusively for your personal music collection.

I can understand the need for such a service. I often find myself out and about wanting to listen to a particular album only to discover I don’t have it with me. If only I could access my music collection remotely somehow?

Google’s service is only available to US residents at present (which excludes myself), but that doesn’t matter. If running a personal server (VPS or otherwise), you can already grant yourself this functionality.

It doesn’t have to stop with music either – potentially you could use it to stream your own videos (as opposed to relying on YouTube), run your own Gitorious server to share code (or to host a SparkleShare folder to mimic Dropbox functionality), or even provide instant access to your photos and ebook collection. Again, there are plenty of Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions that can do the same thing with varying degrees of success, but running your own VPS puts you in control of your data – not somebody else – and provides you maximum flexibility.
Communication & Social networking

I have a confession to make. I don’t have a MySpace or Facebook account. If I want to blog, I blog on my own server – on my terms, and without fear of being banned, blocked or having my blog deleted. Unless my personal blog suddenly becomes far more successful than ever anticipated or expected, my home Internet connection or a VPS instance is more than enough to host my content on a basic WordPress install.

When I inevitably start using a VPS, with a far more reliable Internet connection, I would also use it to host my e-mail too – probably with Dovecot for IMAP access and SquirrelMail for web access – or possibly investigate ScalableOGo if calendar and address-book syncing/sharing is desirable.

There’s no reason to stop at blogging and e-mail; you could run your own XMPP server for instant messaging, your own StatusNet server for micro-blogging should you grow tired of the Twitter Fail Whale, or host your own Flicker-style photo/image collections. The possibilities are endless.
Game Hosting

When I get a bit of spare time (which is not that often), I’m known for enjoying a game of Killing Floor. It’s a team-based FPS zombie-shooter, similar to Left 4 Dead, though it’s been around for a lot longer as a UT2004 mod.

This game supports dedicated servers and there’s nothing worse than connecting to a server someone is hosting, and running into connection problems. Unfortunately, this is not a rare occurrence and can be extremely frustrating – it’s generally caused by people hosting their own server on their unreliable home Internet connection.

While I love the ability to host dedicated servers, it can make for a frustrating experience when not managed properly. There have been times when I haven’t been able to find a close server, so just host a server myself. One unfortunate effect of doing this is that lots of people join, and by the time I finish a few games and want to leave, I have to kick everybody off – which makes me feel bad.

It would be nicer if I could just leave the server running until it was no longer in use and then have it terminate. At the same time I don’t want to leave my gaming computer running when I’m not using it. It’s very noisy, and uses a lot of electricity.

Here’s a thought – what if I used a VPS to host my game? If I already use a VPS for my low-traffic blog, it wouldn’t matter if it gets left running. The only downside with a VPS, is that I would get some latency (whereas if hosted locally, it would be non-existent), though ideally I would run a VPS nearby geographically to minimize this.

As I am in Melbourne, that may rule out AWS for me – Singapore is the closest region Amazon has, but new regions are being added all the time and AWS isn’t the only VPS provider available. However, I imagine running a VPS for game server hosting will be a practical option for many soon, if people aren’t already regularly doing this in other parts of the world.
FreeNX Desktop

Here’s a wild idea – how about running an entire desktop on a VPS via FreeNX? I already have a Xen DomU instance dedicated for this purpose which I fire up as needed, and have had one for almost as long as I’ve had my Xen server. It may sound crazy, but it’s extremely useful!

One of the best uses I have found for this is website and web-browser testing. Sometimes, people in our office will complain that a certain server isn’t working. Is it our local infrastructure, such as an office proxy server or firewall? Is it our ISP? It’s extremely convenient to remotely connect to a FreeNX instance running outside of our office via a different ISP and have a look.

Another practical use might be for people who run Windows on a netbook (or OS X on a MacBook Air), but want instant access to a GNU/Linux desktop without running a local virtual machine. FreeNX fits the bill. It’s also handy when working on a computer you don’t own which doesn’t have the software you want installed – just keep an NX client installer on a USB key along with your keys, which you can plug in and run. In this way, you always have your up-do-date desktop with all your software, customizations and settings at your fingertips without leaving a trace of them on the machine you are physically sitting in front of.

There are also occasions when you might want to run graphical applications for extended periods of time, and having a FreeNX session you can just run in detached mode is extremely helpful. For example, my wife isn’t a fan of the command-line, but loves to download things on BitTorrent. Instead of SSHing into a Xen DomU on our server on the CLI, it is far easier for her to connect via FreeNX and run a graphical BitTorrent client. When she wakes up the next morning, she logs in from her desktop with her graphical NX client, and can usually see the downloads have completed.

Of course this last usage example works better when running a VM instance on local hardware as opposed to in AWS or RackSpace Cloud Hosting if the file needs to later be copied locally, however it could still be useful in situations where there the file size of the download is considerable but there are not many seeders/peers to download from.
To The Future

The suggestions I have listed here are a mix of practical and fun ideas, which could appeal to anyone with an interest in technology, privacy or control of their data. You do not need to have a job as a web developer or a mathematician with a need to crunch lots of data to find VPS offerings interesting or appealing – you just need a little imagination.

Looking long term, I personally like the idea of the Internet returning to its roots – becoming decentralized again. I like the idea that technology can now more easily be used to empower the individual – and not just the mega-corporation. Technologies like Diaspora, Bitcoin, StatusNet, Tor and BitTorrent are a great step forward to reaching such a goal, but everyone will need to have their own server to do their own computing on for this idea to be completely successful.

I don’t think a large physical server like I currently run in my apartment is the future. Possibly the Freedombox Foundation will play a part in paving the way to simplify running personal server software for the masses, but a lot of people don’t want to or can’t run dedicated hardware 24×7. As such, I predict VPS will be the future for a great many people – perhaps even yours.

WebmastersRe: PHP 7.0.0 On The Table Officially by ib22003(op): 6:53pm On Jan 05, 2016
Developers can leverage the amazing back-end coding and real-world performance gains of the new PHP release by just upgrading their current PHP version.

There is no need for them to change a single line of code.

Developers can get the best of the new PHP without making any investment and will need fewer machines to serve the same amount of users.

These are just a few of the spectacular new features introduced in PHP 7.

Here is a list of other noteworthy features you will find in the long-awaited release:

Abstract Syntax Tree
Facilitated error handling through exceptions – the new Engine Exceptions will allow devs to replace fatal and catchable fatal errors with exceptions, which are differentiated from the traditional \Exception Base Class exceptions. Both exceptions can be used through the newly introduced \BaseException shared parent class.
Secure random number generator
Facilitated import from the same namespace – through the new Group Use Declarations syntax, developers will be able to import many classes from the same namespace, which makes the code tidier and saves a lot of typing time.
Removed old and unsupported SAPIs & extensions – to free up space for improvement, many deprecated functionalities and unsupported Server APIs and extensions have been removed.
Consistent 64-bit Windows OS support – although it is a LAMP member, through its latest version, PHP now supports native 64-bit integers and large files, allowing devs to run PHP on a 64-bit Windows platform as well.

You can find more information on the PHP 7’s official release on the official website of the community.
How to enable PHP 7 for my sites and applications?

You and your customers can upgrade to PHP 7 with a click of the mouse.

Just go to your Web Hosting Control Panel and select PHP Settings from the Advanced menu.

The ‘Choose a PHP version’ option will appear at the top of the page:

WebmastersRe: PHP 7.0.0 On The Table Officially by ib22003(op): 6:52pm On Jan 05, 2016
As in other object-oriented languages like C# and Java, developers can now use anonymous classes with PHP 7 as well.

The syntax of an anonymous class is the same as that of traditional PHP classes, the only difference being the missing name.

The main purpose of the anonymous classes is to speed up coding and execution times.

They do a great job in cases when a class is used once during execution or when a class doesn’t need to be documented.

Here is an example of an anonymous class as illustrated on PHP.net:

WebmastersRe: PHP 7.0.0 On The Table Officially by ib22003(op): 6:51pm On Jan 05, 2016
This 3-way comparison operator can already be found in other popular programming languages like Perl and Ruby.

Another new operator onboard is the Null Coalescing Operator. It’s denoted by two question marks (??).

It allows developers to check if something exists. If it exists and is not null, the operator will return the result of its first operand, and if it doesn’t or in any other case, it will return the second operand.

Here’s how the new operator reduces the time spent with basic declarations:

WebmastersRe: PHP 7.0.0 On The Table Officially by ib22003(op): 6:50pm On Jan 05, 2016
As you can see, the performance gains realized by PHP 7 vary between 25% and 70%.

You can see the full infographic on PHP 7 performance on the Zend website.

php-7-new type declarations

Apart from the doubled speeds, PHP 7 also gives developers the freedom to enhance the quality of their code through accurate return type declarations.

Developers can now prevent unintended return values by declaring what kind of return type a function is expected to have.

To enhance the feature even further, PHP 7 brings in 4 new type declarations for scalar types, allowing developers to denote that they’re expecting strings, floats, ints or booleans to be returned.

The new scalar type declarations are also supported by the existing argument Type Hints.
PHP 7 has introduced a new operator – the Combined Comparison Operator, which is more popular as the Spaceship Operator <=>.

It is similar to a TIE fighter and can be used for combined comparisons, in most cases when sorting is needed:

At www.1tbhosting.com we know the value of having the latest software upgrades.
It has been almost a year since it became clear that PHP 5.7 had all chances to become PHP 7 – the new stable version of the PHP programming language.

After 8 release candidates and a few release date delays, the new stable player on the PHP ground is now officially out and fully enabled on our web hosting platform as well.

This release marks the start of the new major PHP 7.x series, which is a milestone event on the programming horizon.
The story behind PHP 7 in short

When PHP 6 was released back in 2005, it came forward in public space as the logic future descendant of the PHP 5.x series.

By offering an alternative encoding approach where Unicode is brought into the PHP core engine, PHP 6 promised to change the coding landscape for good.

However, that approach could not stand the real-world tests due to the excessive use of CPU and memory resources, which made PHP 6 too complex and resource-consuming to put into practice.

It seemed like the PHP 5.x branch would have to release a candidate to lead the ‘new stable PHP version’ march. It was time to focus on internal optimizations, which gave rise to the experimental PHPNG (also known as PHP 5.7).

PHP 5.7 (PHP NG) to become PHP 7

It took the best of both worlds by assimilating the most worthy features of PHP 6, among them namespaces support, and the performance and memory utilization improvements initiated in the PHP 5.x series.

This is how PHP 7’s path was paved. Since the development community chose to take the new stable candidate out of the PHP 5.x branch stage, it was a logical step to move straight to PHP 7, skipping PHP 6.
What are the main advantages of PHP 7?

PHP 7’s concept revolves around ‘spaceship-like’ performance characteristics, among them faster speeds and less memory consumption.

Also, it brings new operators and a range of type declarations to the table. Here are the main advantages in detail:

php-7-performance

The most striking advantage of upgrading to PHP 7 is the practically doubled real-world performance speeds.

Behind this amazing improvement lies the brand new version of the Zend engine that has been implemented under the code name of PHP#NG.

The refactored Zend Engine offers significantly reduced memory usage and a newly implemented just-in-time compilation (JIT) functionality, which resolves the previous prior-to-execution compilation problems.

Dear OP its just bussiness those in lagos buy directly from the manufacturers atimes,whoes minimum order is 1 whole 20ft container. so they can sell at same price with those in the market in china.Am in india and atimes i have to travel long distances to place to help people buy goods from the manufacturers but its always worth it. You have to invest more but its always far cheaper. its bussiness the more you buy the better the price the more the profit. if you want to ressell to does in the market, you have to buy quantity. let me give you an example.i bought some designer shirts about 200 pieces from a manufacturer in india here, i had to travel for 15hours to get there.when i got back to my city and priced the shirt in a botique it was 500% more that the price i saw.Dont think of china only also. usa, uk, italy, india, bangladesh, turkey.there are many places that you can import good products from.
muhammed001:
Hello everyone please I need your advice and encouragement on this mini importation business because i am really facing problems on this importation biz.


What I found out now is that the things I import are always cheaper at lagos

Because my first order was 30 watches and after buying them I found out that they are even cheaper in lagos than importing them because I want to sell them on wholesale price.

My next order was tummy slimming waist trainer for women. When I received the samples I said let me go and look for buyers that will buy it on wholesale before importing them
When I got there I found out that my price is higher than lagos price.
Even the price I bought it is higher than lagos price not to talk of adding profit.

please how can one really make money from this mini importation biz?
I am buying from 1688
Please help me with a solution to this problem or is there anything I am thinking wrong?

The goods are always cheap in china but when you calculate the total cost price of the goods and shipping fee, you will found out that is very expensive when compared to the price of lagos.

Then you will start saying that buying from lagos is even cheaper than buying from china. So now, what is the big deal on importing from china or uk/us when we can even get it cheaper in lagoshuh?

Info marketers will always show you the prices of the goods in china but they will not include the shipping fee.
Sometimes the shipping fee can even multiply the cost of the goods * 4 and above.

Please your contributions are highly welcomed.
