In addition to requisite database administration skills, GIS DBAs need to possess some knowledge on geographic information systems. These skills namely include geographic knowledge, but not just placement of states and countries. GIS data is much more advanced, recording changes in elevation, air patterns, pollution and water levels. Mathematical skills are also necessary, as they help DBAs draw correlative relationships between major GIS data sets. GIS DBAs should be aware of how different environmental events impact others and what consequences they may carry to data that's being sorted by them.
Job Overview
GIS DBAs will perform a variety of responsibilities over the course of their careers. Leveraging their technical skill sets, GIS DBAs will support the planning and development of GIS databases, generate reports based on that data and drive the creation of new research methods and computational activities. They're also responsible for data entry, modification and maintenance. Data integrity becomes very important over time, as historical data gets called upon in future research projects as reference points.
Technical Proficiencies
DBAs who work in GIS capacities need to have a unique skill set that combines traditional computer database skills with knowledge of GIS data systems. Commonly required skills include SQL Server, MySQL, ArcGIS Server, .NET, ArcGIS desktop, Visual Basic, SharePoint, and ArcPAD. The Arcline software products are designed specifically for GIS data management, making them an essential item that should be in any GIS DBA's toolbox. Professionals in this field should also know how to extrapolate data from all of these different sources and develop models, theories and relational databases.
Report Generation
Generating reports is one of the foremost responsibilities of GIS DBAs. While scientists may be the geographic subject matter experts, they can't do much without access to the geographic data. Furthermore, with the data in its raw form, it will take them much longer to model and analyze it. This is where the core function of a GIS DBA enters into play. These professionals help query specific data that researchers need access to, then reformat the data into more palatable forms, such as charts and visual graphs.

How to Host Dating WebsitesIn Feburary 2016 20,
In Feburary 2016 20,
Purchase a server hosting package from a reputable hosting company. When considering a hosting provider search for reviews of the company. Compare as many options as possible to get a feel for the range of services, prices and options available. Hosting can cost as low as $3.50 a month or several hundred dollars for a dedicated server. The most optimal type of service will depend on your technical expertise. Hostdime.com, ipage.com and godaddy.com all offer hosting services at competitive rates.
Purchase a site domain. If you do not already have domains for your dating websites, you must buy them. Most hosting providers will allow you to purchase domains along with hosting solutions. Domains typically cost less than $15 a year.
Add the new dating site domain to your hosting service, using the new host's Cpanel or hosting screen's 'Add New Domain' feature. Repeat for each domain that will be hosted.
Change the name server for the domain name. Copy the new server's 'Name Server' address and change the domain's 'Name Servers' to those of the new host. Repeat for additional dating sites.
Upload site content and data to each domain's hosting directory on the server. You will need an FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, to do this efficiently. An FTP client is a file transfer program that lets you upload and download data from the local computer and the server, and it is the primary method you will use to transfer your sites to the server. Most hosting packages provide a web-based FTP client in their hosting management sections, but free third party programs like CuteFTP, FileZilla and CoffeeCup FTP are suitable alternatives.
Wait for the name servers to update. This process should take less than 30 minutes. The dating sites will now be live on the new server.

How Does a 404 Error Occur?In Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
A '404 Error' appears when a person trying to get to a website or URL but the site is unavailable or unreachable. This error may also manifest in different appearances on the web page, depending on the way the website administrator programs the error to appear to the users. Aside from 'Page cannot be displayed,' it can also appear as 'Page cannot be displayed,' '404-Page not Found,' 'Error 404: Not Found,' 'The page cannot be found' or 'HTTP 404- Not Found.' Aside from the error messages, the error page may have additional information indicating the possible cause and resolution.
Causes
There are different reasons why a website becomes unreachable or unavailable, possibly due to a problem on the web server hosting the website or a possible problem with the link or URL. Another possibility would be a network connection issue between the web server and the user's computer. It is also possible that certain components within the web server that is hosting the site is having issues, such as services and web instances not running that the website is depending on to run normally.
Troubleshooting
The common resolution suggested by technical support or programmers would be to do the simplest thing, often suggested on the error page itself, which is to refresh the screen by hitting the refresh button on the web browser menu bar. This will allow the web browser to try to reconnect to the website that is having issues. Oftentimes, companies that host websites have redundant servers in place to provide minimal disruptions, after hitting refresh the other server or servers in the pool will process the request in order to display the website. Another way to solve the 404 Error code is to make sure that the website spelling is correct. The cause may be a typing error by misspelling or missing letters or symbols. By typing the correct URL or link to the website, the error code will disappear and will lead to the correct web page. Sometimes, if the error does not go away, it is best to wait patiently until the problem disappears. This is often the case when a web site may be experiencing technical difficulties and a user has no control over the situation. Most reputable webhosting companies already know the problem before the users do; therefore, they may already be hard at work to resolve the problem. If the wait is taking much longer as anticipated, it is best to call the webmaster or webhosting services to report the problem or find out the status of the problem. Technicians supporting the websites may need to restart services, recycle web instances or reboot the web server to resolve the problem. If the website is corrupt or it needs the programmer to rebuild it again may take several hours to resolve. If the web server is broken, support technicians may need to repair or replace the broken parts or replace the entire server with another one. It is best practice for webhosting companies operate with redundant pairs in order to minimize disruption of service or to provide uninterrupted service. If the problem is due to network connectivity, support technicians will have to fix the network connections first before the website can come back up.

The Best Website Hosts for Small BusinessIn Feburary 2016 05,
In Feburary 2016 05,
Your web host should be able to provide you with a clear pricing sheet for a complete hosting solution. Web hosting can be complex and many factors contribute to the type of hosting package you need. Before signing up for a hosting plan, it should be absolutely clear what your monthly price will be and what items may impact your pricing as your web site business grows. For example, some hosting companies limit how much bandwidth or data transfer you can use and charge very high overage fees for breaking those limits. Any change in pricing should be clearly laid out before you sign up.
Dedicated Support
Web hosting is a technical process that requires professional and knowledgeable support from your web hosting company. You should have access to support via a toll-free phone number as well as an easy-to-use online ticket system. Responses to your inquiries should happen promptly. Additionally, the best web hosting companies typically have live technical support via the toll-free number, available 24 hours a day. The hosting company should provide reliable service, and in the case that the server goes down, you need to know your web host will be able to address the problem as soon as possible.
Wide Array of Features
Small business web sites may need very little in terms of advanced features. However, your web host should be able to provide you access to more advanced features on demand as your site grows. For instance, you should have access to a database, secure server, control panel and web statistics to monitor your traffic should you need these items. In many cases, these items are already included in your hosting plan, or sometimes there may be additional fees to add these to your plan. It is important, though, to make sure your company has a wide array of features available to avoid having to transfer to a new host should you require any advanced features.
Go Direct
The best web hosting companies will own and operate their own data centers and servers. Sometimes, web hosting companies pose as being and independent company but are really just reselling another web hosting company’s services. This can cause delays when you are waiting for service items to be addressed. Why report a problem to a middle man when you could just report the problem to the source directly? Make sure that your hosting company is in control of their own servers and data centers; this control is crucial when it comes to addressing technical support inquiries and resolving problems.
