How Does Web Hosting Work?In Feburary 2016 26,
In Feburary 2016 26,
Before you put a Web-hosting plan to work, you need to register a domain name. Some companies offer both services as a bundle, but you can buy the two parts separately from different companies. If you shop around, you may find a better price or an uncommon top-level domain such as '.us' or '.tv' not sold at every registrar. If you buy the domain separately, you need to set the name servers on the domain registrar's website to point to the addresses provided by your Web host. These steps vary from site to site, so check your registrar's help page for specific directions.
How Shared Hosting Works
Shared hosting places your website on the same server hardware as many other websites. This setup makes shared hosting affordable but gives you no control over the server hardware and software itself. Shared hosting plans often offer perks such as unlimited bandwidth and support for multiple domain names. The major limitation to shared hosting is CPU time: Every person who connects to your website uses some of the server's processing power. If too many people connect, at the same time, especially if you have complex scripts on your site, the websites of everyone on the server slow down. Use too much CPU time and your Web host might restrict your site or force you to upgrade to a dedicated server.
Dedicated Hosting and VPS
Dedicated servers avoid the CPU restrictions on shared servers and allow you to install custom software, but they often cost far more and include restrictions on bandwidth and drive space. In most cases, whether you are buying hosting for a personal site, a blog or even a small business, you can safely start out with shared hosting. If your site becomes popular or you need to alter your server's configuration, talk to your Web host to move up to a dedicated server so you won't have to rebuild your entire site for another host. Some Web hosts sell virtual private server hosting. VPS hosting does not provide additional CPU resources, but you can install software on the server and alter its settings.
Putting Your Site to Use
Setting up a site from scratch requires a significant amount of Web design and coding experience, but there's no need to reinvent the wheel. Content management systems, such as WordPress, Drupal and MediaWiki, provide a backbone for your site so you can focus on creating content. Some Web hosts offer one-click installation of these utilities, but if yours does not, download the CMS of your choice from its website and follow the directions to put it on your server and get started. Although each CMS offers customizations, WordPress and Drupal focus primarily on sites with permanent content and few authors, such as blogs, while MediaWiki works best with frequently updated pages, such as its best-known use, Wikipedia.
Running Your Own Host
Hosting your own website from home might sound like an easy way to save money, but it requires far more tech experience. If you set up your server incorrectly, hackers flood in from all over the Internet. DIY hosting requires you to own server hardware, a potentially pricy investment if you want your site to support a large number of visitors. Check with your Internet service provider before trying to run a server, as many explicitly block the practice unless you subscribe to a business-class plan.

How to Use Imagemagick With HostgatorIn Feburary 2016 25,
In Feburary 2016 25,
Open the image you want to edit in the ImageMagick software.
Use the ImageMagick tools to edit the image.
Save your image to your computer once you have completed the changes. Be sure to save it in a folder where you can easily find it.
Launch a FTP program on the computer.
Type in your HostGator website domain name, administrator username and password to connect to the HostGator server. You should have received this information in an email when you signed up for the HostGator account.
Navigate to the folder on the computer that contains the edited image in the local pane. This will usually be the left side of the window, though it may vary depending on the FTP program.
Navigate to the 'public_ftp' folder of the HostGator account. If you wish to store the image, you may want to create a new folder on the server called 'pictures' or 'images.'
Highlight the image file in the local pane and click the transfer button. This will send a copy of the image to the HostGator server.
Open a website browser and type in the image's URL. The URL will be your domain name followed by the name of the folder you uploaded the image to and the image's full name, for example: 'http://(yourdomain)/(foldername)/(imagename).'
Record this URL address. You can use this to share the image, post it on forums or use it on your website.
