Register for an unlimited hosting plan. Unlimited hosting plans will allow you to host many websites for one low price. This will allow you to piggyback host your friends' websites.For the purpose of this article (and because of its sheer ease of use), Host Gator will be used as an example (see Resources).
Log into the 'cPanel' (control panel) for his hosting plan. The cPanel can be reached by going to the URL provided upon registration. It will be included in an email titled 'Information about your hosting plan.'
Scroll down the cPanel homepage, a little past the halfway point. Under the 'Domains' section, there's an icon that has the letters 'www' with the addition symbol ('+') beneath the letters. Underneath, it says, 'Addon Domains.' Click this icon.
Enter the information of your friend's website, which you want to host on your hosting plan. Simply type in the name of your site under the 'New Domain Name' field. Proper format is http://yoursite.com (substituting the name of your real site for the words 'yoursite.com').
Press the 'Tab' key on your keyboard to move to the next field, Subdomain Name. This field will be automatically filled in for you.
Press the 'Tab' key on your keyboard to move to the Document Root field. This field will be automatically filled in for you.
Press the 'Tab' key on your keyboard to move to the next field. Choose a password for your new website. This will be how you access your site's files via FTP. Choose a strong, hard-to-crack password that includes letters, numbers and symbols.
Click the 'Add Domain!' button and you're finished. You are now hosting your friend's website.

The Advantages of DB2In Feburary 2016 08,
In Feburary 2016 08,
DB2 has a more powerful Structured Query Language (SQL) dialect than Microsoft’s SQL offering. DB2 has features such as object tables, before triggers, Java method support, multiple user-defined functions and support for arrays. None of these features are supported by MS SQL. SQL allows direct access to the data via the database management interface of DB2. It also can be imbedded in the code of application programs written in other languages, such as COBOL and Java. This flexibility and feature list combine to make DB2 a powerful relational database management system.
Multiple Platform Support
IBM produces versions of DB2 that run on all available platforms, rather than just Windows-based platforms. Included in the DB2 list of supported platforms are AIX, HP-UX, Linux and Sun. This ability to run on a variety of hardware/software platforms brings a flexibility to the table that other database engines do not offer. IBM also offers DB2 as part of a pre-configured bundle along with the operating system. This combination produces better performance since the operating system is configured for DB2 database support out of the box, saving the system administrator time.
Self-Tuning Memory Management
Database tuning is part art and part science, and normally takes a significant amount of a database administrator's time. Part of this configuration job entails configuring memory for the various workloads to achieve the best performance. During the day access is typically via online applications, with random access to records across the database. At night, the workload typically changes to a batch format, with sequential processing of records being the norm. DB2 Version 9 offers a feature called Self-tuning Memory Management (STMM), which allows the database to automatically change the memory allocation when there is a change in the workload. This optimizes performance by making adjustments on the fly to the database memory and buffer pools with no requirement for human intervention..
IBM Support
A major advantage of DB2 is that it is an IBM offering. Developed many years ago at IBM’s database labs, DB2 has gained feature after feature over the years. IBM produces software updates and patches on a controlled basis after thorough testing. IBM’s high-quality software support is a factor in DB2’s popularity, along with the system stability that results from that support. IBM’s research and development dollars continue to improve the product making DB2 an ideal choice for a RDBMS.

How to Fix WinHTTP DLLIn Feburary 2016 07,
In Feburary 2016 07,
Click the 'Start' button in Windows and expand the 'All Programs' folder. Click the 'Windows Update' link that appears in the first program column. This will launch Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Click the 'Express Install' button. Windows will begin searching for all important updates that you have yet to install, which will take a few minutes.
Click the 'Install Updates' button if Windows finds any important updates for your computer. The updates will begin downloading and installing immediately, but the process can take some time.
Reboot your computer when prompted to do so after the installation process concludes.
See if problems related to winhttp.dll still occur. If they do not, the updates likely fixed the problem, as updated versions of this file are included with most service pack updates for most versions of Windows. If you're still having problems, try the next section on restoring the last working version of winhttp.dll.
Restore the Last Working Version
Click the 'Start' button in Windows. Expand 'All Programs,' then 'Accessories' and then 'System Tools.' Click 'System Restore.'
Click the bubble next to 'Restore my computer to an earlier time' and then click the 'Next' button.
Select a restore point from the calendar by clicking on a bold date. If you just started experiencing problems suddenly, perhaps after installing conflicting software or getting a virus, choose a restore point from right before you started having problems. If you think the problem may have been there for some time, use the 'Back' button next to the calendar to scroll back to the earliest restore point. After you click a restore point, click the 'Next' button.
Read the restore details on the confirmation screen; then click the 'Next' or 'Finish' button. The computer will restore itself and reboot automatically, which may take several minutes.
Click 'OK' in the confirmation dialog box that appears after Windows starts up. See if you still have problems related to winhttp.dll. If you do, the best solution may be to replace the file manually. Find these instructions in the final section.
Replace Winhttp.dll Manually
Use your Web browser to navigate to a site where you can download winhttp.dll for free. You can find a link to a reliable download site in the Resources section.
Click the download link, save the file to your hard drive and open it. It will open in WinZip or your equivalent unzipping software. Unzip the winhttp.dll file to your desktop.
Double-click the 'My Computer' icon; then navigate to the system folder. If you're using Windows XP or Vista on a 64-bit system, this folder is at 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64.' If you're using either of those operating systems on a 32-bit system, the folder is at 'C:\Windows\System32.' In Windows NT and 2000, the folder is located at 'C:\WINNT\System32.' Finally, in Windows 95, 98 and Me, it's at 'C:\Windows\System.'
Drag the winhttp.dll file from the desktop into the system folder. If you see a prompt asking you whether or not you want to replace the existing file with the new one, click 'Yes.'
Restart Windows. Upon boot-up, Windows will register the new .dll file automatically, and you should be able to use Web- and network-related software normally.

How to Host Your Own DomainIn Feburary 2016 04,
In Feburary 2016 04,
Download a Web server. This is usually necessary since Windows doesn't come with a default Web server. Apache is a good program, but you can also download ABYSS, which is a free program that you can download (see Resources).
Read the documentation that is included with ABYSS to familiarize yourself with the program. This is only necessary if you've never used ABYSS, or if you do not have Apache on your system.
Visit the No-IP website (see Resources). Set up an account while you are on this page. Choose the domain name you want to use.
Download the No-IP client. Click on the Windows operating system download. Download the program and then install it.
Fill in the information the program asks for. Make sure the program runs after installing it. Once all of your information is entered, your IP address will resolve to the domain you chose, which should be something like xxxxxx.hostnameofserver.com (where xxxxxx is the name you chose).
