PURCHASE A WEB CAM:I described that you could use a PnP (Plug and Play) webcam in my first article, but for this operation, you will probably want to consider a little better web cam. You can still use a PnP camera at first, but you will want to upgrade as time goes on. I would recommend the use of the $50 - $70 Logitech webcams for this operation.
INSTALL THE WEBCAM SOFTWARE:Once you have your camera, install the software that comes with it. READ the instructions for installing your webcam onto your local computer. Troubleshoot as needed for setup.
FTP DELIVERY SYSTEM OVERVIEW: In my basic webcam set up article, I discussed the use of a free hosting provider or the use of Yahoo, AOL, MSN, or SKYPE. However if you have your own webserver, there are two main ways to deliver your webcam content to your website and server:1) FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to your website and your webserver that you host with. We will discuss this option in this article. 2) Set up an in-house server that uses webcam software to stream your images. I am not going to discuss this option in this article.
DOWNLOAD WEBCAM FTP SOFTWARE:This method assumes that you know how to use an FTP program to publish your website already. There is a lot of free software out there that you can use to set up an FTP link to your hosting provider for your webcam. A few webcams come with free webcam software that you can also use. I recommened that you look into using Webcam32, (trial version, then purchase) TinCam (trial version and purchase) or ConquerCam (trial version and purchase). You can also do a Google search for other software programs available and free software available.Which ever one you decide to use, download it and install it on your computer. Set up your webcam as instructed in the directions of the software.
SET UP YOUR WEBCAM FTP ACCOUNT:Alright, so now we will set up the FTP information so that your images and video can get online! Depending on the software you downloaded, you may have a built-in web page builder or you will have to create a video wrapper on your web page. I will not explain that here, so you can look this up on Google. You will need to have a basic knowledge of html to understand how to do this. Build a test web page for this purpose on your site.
TEST THE CAMERA:Once you have set up your FTP account, you can now test the WebCam and see if it is saving data out to your FTP account and your test webpage. Congratulations if it is working correctly, if not, check your code on your HTML page, and also check the FTP information you provided to the software.

How to Start a Business Offering Your Own Web ServerIn Feburary 2016 22,
In Feburary 2016 22,
Research various Web hosting providers that offer reseller accounts for dedicated or virtual private server hosting. Thousands of Web server providers exist on the Web; however, few actually maintain their own servers or data centers. For information on Web server hosting providers, visit websites like WebHostingTalk or ResellerPremium. These types of sites offer insight into server companies and the plans they offer. When researching dedicated or virtual private server hosting companies, review comments made by other resellers regarding reliability, pricing plans and support for partners or resellers.
Subscribe to and purchase a server reseller-hosting plan. When subscribing to a plan, consider paying for a full year of reseller hosting in advance, as you will probably receive a discount on the wholesale rate plan.
Learn the management interface that the server provider uses with its system. The management interface is a crucial component of your Web server business and is where you assign, configure and maintain customer server accounts. Create a few sample accounts and configure two or three test servers to learn how to perform the tasks quickly and efficiently. Once customers begin ordering hosting services from your company, they will expect quick configuration and use of their servers.
Publish a domain name that identifies your company as a web server provider. Create a professional website for the business or hire a Web designer to do the work for you. When creating the website, list detailed information on the types and configurations of the Web servers you offer, hosting plan information and pricing information. Provide information on the types of operating systems available, bandwidth usage policies and acceptable uses for the Web servers. To avoid potential legal issues, do not allow website owners to use the servers to display pornography, facilitate transfers of copyrighted material or violate and laws.
Develop a payment processing system for the website. Create an online form for users to submit billing and payment information. Alternatively, have them submit contact information and then call them for needed payment details.
Advertise your Web server company on as many high-volume websites as possible. Alternatively, purchase ads or advertising credits from major traffic-producing sites like Google, LinkShare or DoubleClick. Keep in mind that to drive customers to your site, you must create as much exposure for your new Web business as possible.
Receive orders for Web server hosting accounts and process the payments. Assist the customer in setting up the dedicated or virtual private server as needed.

What Is a Place Holder?In Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
If a domain name and Web hosting service are purchased before a site design is complete, a place holder can inform visitors of the upcoming completion of your site.
Considerations
When uploading a place holder, it is best to make it very simple. Your hosting provider may automatically upload a place holder until you design your site.
Warning
Be sure that you finish your design quickly, as visitors may never return if they see a place holder. Some websites never advance beyond having a place holder page, so be sure to state when your site will be complete.
Types
There are two types of place holder pages. The first is a simple HTML page uploaded by the page designer. This can simply explain that the site is under design and offer a target launch date. Other place holders are uploaded by Web hosting companies. These pages can include advertisements for their services and other similar domains for sale.
Expert Insight
Having a place holder can be helpful when designing a website. However, continue the development of your website to make sure the place holder does not become your permanent homepage. If your hosting provider offers place holder templates that include advertisements for their services, it is best to overwrite this file with your own page.

How to Calculate Download TimeIn Feburary 2016 01,
In Feburary 2016 01,
Reference the size of the file. If you are downloading from a website, or an FTP site, the download size might be listed next to the download link. On a peer-to-peer transfer program, the size is usually listed in one of the columns.
Determine your connection speed. This information should have been provided when you signed up for your Internet service. If not, call you Internet service provider and ask them your connection speed. Common connection speeds are 56 Kb for dial up or 3.0 to 10.0 Mbps for high-speed access. You can also test your speed using online speed tools, such as Speedtest.net, Speakeasy.net and CNET.com.If you know the website or P2P connection speed, and it is slower than yours, then use that speed for the calculation. When downloading, you can only download as fast as the slowest connection.Alternatively, begin downloading the file and look at the progress window. Typically, the actual download speed is displayed. Using this figure saves you to trouble of determining your or the website's connection speed.
Convert the connection speed into the same units as displayed for the download. As an example, If the download was 200 MB, then you will want to convert your connection speed to MB. As an example, you might have a 3.0 Mbps connection. Note the difference between the capitalized and lower case 'B,' which signifies 'bytes' or 'bits' respectively. Since there are 8 bits in a byte, you would divide 3.0 Mb by 8 to convert the connection speed to 0.375 MB per second.
Divide the download size by the connection speed to calculate download time. In the example, 200 MB divided by 0.375 MB per second gives you a download speed of 533 seconds, or 8 minutes and 53 seconds.

How to Purchase an Email AddressIn Feburary 2016 01,
In Feburary 2016 01,
Purchase your own domain name for your email address. The domain name is the portion of the email address that comes after the '@' symbol in the email address. For example, mypetstore.com or myconsultingfirm.com.You can purchase a domain name for your email address from most web hosting providers. Instead of choosing the 'Web Hosting' option, just choose the 'Hosted Email' option.
Compare email hosting providers to find a provider that is suitable for your needs. When comparing, take into consideration how many email boxes you are allowed to setup, as well as the amount of storage that is available for each mailbox. Consider other options that are important to you, such as being able to access your email via webmail, email client, or PDA. Consider the daily sending limits and whether there is 24/7 customer service and backup servers.
Use a valid credit card to sign up for an email hosting account. The mail hosting account will only cost you and average of $1 to $2 per month, whereas a full-fledged web hosting account can cost you around $10 to $15 per month.
Log into your email hosting account. Create the mailboxes you would like to use with your account. For example, customerservice@mypetstore.com or feedback@myconsultingfirm.com. You don't have to setup all of your mailboxes at one time. You can create additional mailboxes as needs arise.
