Was first setup on 14 April 2011 and run live by 21 May 2011, it has been quite some time for the Decepticons Server (.158) serves Sealserver‘s client. Up until now it has been serving more than 500 active sites and running for more than 200 days without any major maintenance and downtime at all. And among the server we own, this is among the top specification of all.

Performance are better

Decepticons is impressive. While other server took time to recover due load increase and require us to have a datacenter visit to manually reboot it, Decepticons took only a short time to kill processes that identified causing high load and get it recovered by a smooth remote reboot. After all, Decepticons are able to receive high load without slowing down the whole system.

One step further

It’s quite exiting to use a good performance server for web hosting purposes. Somewhere around 2007, our focus was on the usage of Dual-Core processor web server. By that time, WordPress is just getting warming up serving blogs in the internet. By 2008, the flooded of WordPress plugins and updates require a more performance server for the database to hold on, then we moved all the servers into Quad-Core Xeon. Further Reading..

What is Web Hosting all about?

What is web hosting all about? Phew! Took us lot of time Google‘ing internet definition to deeply and shortly answer this question. Let us keep this short for you.

Easy To Understand – What is web hosting?

Well, web hosting is simply a host, a place for you to put your website, so that it become available online in the internet, viewable by internet users all around the world.

An Example

Let say, you want to create a website. You named it, mywebsite.com. After finished creating the website, you want to upload it to the internet so that internet users are able to see your website. This is where web hosting play the role.

Web hosting serves as a web space, a directory which all time connected to the internet. After you create a website, you purchase a web hosting account and domain name of mywebsite.com, upload the files (web page) you created to the web hosting, and your website goes online instantly, available viewed like any other website in the internet.

And why do I need to have domain names?

Web hosting is just a storage space for you to put files in the internet. However, you also need a domain name for your website so that internet users are able to visit your website.

Easy To Understand – What is domain? (Again..)

Just imagine that you have a house. To be able for someone, your friends or relatives to visit your house is by knowing the address of your house. If they didn’t know what is your address, then they’ll not able to come to your house.

Same goes with web hosting and domain. Imagine web hosting as your house and domain as your address in this case. Domain name is the address, the link where visitors are able to come to your website when the entered the ‘address’.

Both are different thing, but both are required to have a website online in the internet.

Okay, now that you have read till this part, let us know if you really understand what web hosting and domain are. Drop us a comment if any.
