But why is this provider so focused on VPS hosting? Well, windows VPS services have been steadily climbing the popularity ladder in recent years. Also, a VPS allows businesses to upgrade from basic hosting features to resources, enabling you to deploy full websites and e-commerce models without paying the higher costs of a dedicated server.

Why Is Windows VPS Becoming More Popular?

Nowadays, Windows VPS is becoming one of the most popular pieces of software for businesses out there. One of the reasons is that a Windows VPS allows users to configure the servers to do almost anything they want. A Windows VPS is able to host a wide range of different services and applications. Also, it is highly functional and practical for the development and testing of software. 

But, let’s dig deeper. Namely, let’s explore some of the many different uses of a Windows VPS, and maybe we’ll understand why Windows VPS is rising in popularity. 

One of the most popular uses for a Windows VPS is running special email servers. Special email servers allow users to have direct control over multiple email services. Also, a Windows VPS uses special encryption software that provides a safer and more secure email environment. Thus, many high-profile businesses use a Windows VPS as their mail server nowadays. 

Another widespread use of a Windows VPS is for backups. As you might know, having backup options is essential for any business, especially if the worst happens and you experience a system failure. A Windows VPS keeps a selection of redundant copies of multiple backups in many different physical locations worldwide. Thus, if push comes to shove, you will be able to recover your files and data easily, and you will also be sure that your data isn’t going anywhere. 

We all know, and many of us use applications like Office, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, to name a few. Well, with a Windows VPS, you can host all of the mentioned applications and more.

Since the pandemic hit, millions of people have turned to online gaming as a pass time. I know I have. Thus, online gaming has become even more popular than before, and with a Windows VPS, you can host multiplayer games.

The client browser can be redirected to a specific URL using redirection. When switching domains, improving the structure of your site or switching to HTTPS, using redirection is a great tool to have. 

I’ll explain to you how to use PHP to redirect to a certain page in this article. I’ll show you how PHP redirects operate and what happens in the background.

What Is the Mechanism of Basic Redirection?

Let’s take a brief look at how HTTP redirection works before we get into the details of PHP redirection. Have a glance at the diagram below.
php redirect

Let’s know what is really going on in the image above:

  •         The client browser sends a request to the server for a particular page. The client has asked for the attributes of the index.php file in the case above.
  •         When the server gets a request for the index.php file, it needs to tell the client that it is no longer available or has been transferred and that it can now search for a new index.php. Including the 301 or 302 HTTP code, the server sends the Location header with a new URL. These are the redirection HTTP codes.
  •         When a browser sees a 301 or 302 code, it knows it has to make a new request to a new URL in order to get the content. In the above case, it makes a request to fetch the new index.php file.
  •         Finally, the contents of the latest URL are sent by a browser.

That’s how an HTTP redirection functions in its most simple form. We’ll go into how PHP redirection functions in the next segment.

How PHP Redirect Works?

When redirecting a user through one page to another in PHP, you can use the header() function. The header functionality allows users to send a raw HTTP location header, which executes the real redirection we discussed earlier.

Use Header Function

Let’s take a look at the header() function’s syntax.

header( $header, $replace, $http_response_code )

  •         $headerThe HTTP header string that you want to use. For redirection, we’ll use the Location header in our case.
  •         $replace: This is an additional parameter that specifies whether or not the header can replace a previous one with the same kind.
  •         $http response code: It helps you to submit a particular response code.

Let’s take a look at the following scenario and see if it works together.

<?php

// index.php

header(“Location: https://www.myownsite.com/new_index.php”);

exit();

?>

The client browser will be redirected to http://www.myownsite.com/new index.php after the above script is run. It sends a raw HTTP Location header with the 302-status code to the server in the background. The 302-status code is being used for short-term redirection, but the 301 code can be transmitted in the third argument for stable redirection, as seen in the example below.

<?php

// index.php

header(“Location: http://www.myownsite.com/new_index.php”, TRUE, 301);

exit();

?>

The 301 permanent redirect lets you inform search engines that a website is no longer usable and that it should be replaced.

After the header redirection, why do you use the Die() or Exit() functions?

Users with keen eyes would have found that in the preceding case, I used the exit() function. In fact, directly after the header redirection, you must use either the exit() or die() functions to stop script execution and prevent any unexpected effects.

As a result, after redirection, it’s still a good idea to use one of these functions.

The Well-Known Error: headers are already sent

If you’re a professional PHP programmer, you’ve almost certainly run into this well-known PHP error in your day-to-day PHP development. However, for beginners, encountering this mistake is particularly frustrating since it is extremely difficult to debug and repair. Much of the time, they have no idea that the header redirection is to blame. 

When using the header() function in your code, it’s a good rule of thumb to ensure you don’t submit any output before it. If you don’t, PHP will complain that “headers are already sent.” And if you’ve submitted a single white space before using the header function, this will happen.

We addressed one of the most critical facets of PHP programming in this article: redirection. We went through the fundamentals of HTTP redirection first, and then I showed you how it functions in PHP.

Your domain name is an important commodity in today’s connected digital ecosystem. The domain name will have a significant impact on the overall performance of your website. Your domain will have an impact on how people see your business. Choosing a domain is an easy choice for aspiring web developers and internet startups, and it’s always left mostly to the end of the process. 

In fact, quality domain names really go fast. Your preferred domain name can already be taken by the time you create your website.  Registering a domain as soon as possible is indeed a smart idea. But what if you’re not quite ready to put it to use? This is where parked domains are beneficial.

What is a Parked Domain?

A parked domain is a domain name that has been registered but is not connected to a website or email hosting service. In other words, the domain isn’t being used. Instead, it’s parked and can be seen later.

A domain name is usually connected to a hosting provider after it is registered with a domain registrar. Your website is housed on a server. The domain is essentially a web address that users can use to access the developed website. Whenever a domain is parked, it loses its link to the hosting provider. That said, depending on the specific needs, domain parking can get more complicated.

Domains are Parked for a Number of Reasons

People and businesses prefer to park their domain for a variety of purposes. It’s a way to buy yourself some time while still having the domain name you want. Here are a few reasons why you would want to park your domain after it’s been registered.

Reservation of a Name

The desire to reserve a domain name is one of the most compelling reasons to park a domain. As previously mentioned, good domain names usually sell easily. Nothing is more frustrating than coming up with a perfect domain name just to discover it is already taken.  

Anti-Cybersquatting Security

Cybersquatting seems to be a very real problem that even well-established companies now contend with. During the dot-com boom of the 1990s, it became such a phenomenon that the United States passed the Anti-cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. Cybersquatting is where a person registers domain names that contain a major company’s trademark. After that, the unscrupulous person would offer to sell the domain name at a high price. 

Time for Development

If you have a strong domain name, you can always register it before beginning the website development phase. You can conveniently park your domain when you work on making your website great. No one would be able to take your domain name. You may still opt to display a notice informing the guests that the website is still being built.

Generating Income

Your domain doesn’t have to stay idle simply because it’s parked. Several business-savvy domain holders chose to monetize their parked domains in order to raise revenue when they are not in service.

On your parked domain, you can conveniently display advertising. You’ll gain money any time someone visits your website and clicks on an ad. It’s a smart way to recoup some of the domain’s registration costs while still putting it to good use. There are a number of programs that can do this for you in return for a cut of the sales.

Various Web Addresses 

Often businesses choose to register different domain names that point to the same website. It’s an outstanding campaign strategy. The additional domains are parked and connected to a hosting account that has several add-on domains. They post the same traffic information and offer the customers a variety of options for communicating with you. 

Creating a Parked Domain

By signing into cPanel, you can connect a parked domain to your account if the prerequisites are met. Then take the following steps:

  1. Go to the “Domains” section and pick the “Parked Domains” button from the drop-down menu. This will open a new menu for you.
  2. In the text input window, type the domain name you want to park.
  3. Choose “Add Domain” from the menu.

Removing a Parked Domain

Simply log back into cPanel and take these steps to uninstall the parked domain so that it no longer binds to the primary hosted website:

Scroll down the page to the “Domains” tab and press the “Parked Domains” symbol.

Scroll down to the segment called “Remove Parked Domains” in the menu.

Click the “Remove” button next to the parked domain you wish to uninstall.

If you really have your heart on a certain domain, there’s a good chance you’ll have to negotiate to get it. You will use your domain registrar to see if a domain is open. You should even go to the web address to see what’s being hosted there. It’s most likely parking by the owner if you see a generic message or advertisements.

You should be able to find contact details with a fast scan. You may also be able to find some additional technical specifics about the domain you’re searching for. It’s difficult to get a good deal on a parked domain. It’s a wheeling and dealing game for which you must be prepared. To get a better sense of the domain’s true purpose, you can do some analysis. Make a fair bid based on the details you’ve gathered.

Use an Escrow Service to Buy a Domain

It is never a good idea to pay the owner directly. Although you have their contact details, the owner is an unknown individual who could easily exploit you. Escrow services retain funds and rights until both sides have fulfilled their obligations. The escrow service will be paid directly by you. The money will not be sent to the owner until the move is done.

The parked domain is now yours to use however you want once the contract is completed. You can either link it to your hosting service or park it before you’re ready to go live with your website.

While browsing the web hosting scenario, you might have come across the words “Temporary URL.” Furthermore, when it comes to website transfers, the temporary URL allows you to browse the site on the new server without having to change your domain’s DNS. What makes this so beneficial? Why do so many people choose this approach to pointing their domain names to different environments straight away? The solution is straightforward: reliability. 

In most scenarios, clients will prefer to expand on the temporary (or use the temporary URL) because they already have an operational website that is actually using the same domain as the one, they want to use for their new site and choose to keep it live for their users until the new website is able to launch. 

A temporary URL may look like this:

http://temp.domain.com/cpanelusername/

Why would you want to create a site using a temporary URL?

If you already have got a website with the same domain name as the one you want for the new website, you can opt to expand on the temporary URL so that your existing site can stay fully operational while the new one is being built. Building on the temp is a nice choice for existing businesses who want to keep taking orders from their old site as they develop and populate the new website, and until they’re able to completely launch the new one.

Is it possible to build a website using a temporary URL?

Well, indeed! You can use the temporary URL to build and populate the whole website. Although your latest services are already on the temporary URL, your developer can install the prototype for you. 

Using a Temporary URL in WordPress

You will need to use the temporary URL when transferring your WordPress installation to another hosting server; this URL would enable you to reach your site until the Name Servers have propagated.

  •         Switching to a temporary URL
  •         Switching from a temporary URL 

Switching to a temporary URL

There are some cases where you’ll need to go into the WordPress database to update a URL.

  •         Since your domain name isn’t yet resolving to your new account, you’ll need to use a URL like http://temp.domain.com/username/ to access your WordPress installation. There are no pictures or themes displayed; only the text appears.
  •         You can’t log into Administrator Panel because it needs to take you to a URL that contains your domain name. What options do you have for viewing your WordPress blog before your domain name resolves?
  •         http://www.domain.com/addondomain/ is an example of a URL. There are no redirects in the .htaccess file, either.
  •         If you built WordPress on an addon domain, you’ll need to update the database URL to something like http://www.addondomain.com. 

This generally requires a few basic database edits.

  1.       To begin, double-check that your WordPress installation is complete and you know the database’s name. The database’s name is probably something like:
  •         username_wp1
  •         If you don’t have the name of the database, you can look it up in the wp-config.php file using the File Manager.
  1.       Select Code Edit from the context menu when you right-click wp-config.php. The username and database are now visible.
  2.       After that, go to your cPanel and login. Look for the Databases section of the website. Choose phpMyAdmin.
  3.       On the left, choose the database name. (For example, “_wp1”)
  4.       Select “Browse”.
  5.       For the top row (option name is “site URL”), choose the pencil icon (for Edit) on the left.
  6.       Your domain name will be shown. You’d like to change it to
  •         http://temp.domain.com/~username/
  •         This step is critical to avoid making an error. Please double-check that the URL you’re typing in here is right, or nothing will happen.
  1.       After you’ve updated the URL, there’s a “Go” button at the bottom. Choose the “Go” option.
  2.       Choose the Next button. Look for the option name.
  3.   To edit, click the pencil button. Click the Go button after making the same URL update as you did for siteurl earlier.
  4.   All of your pictures will appear when you go to your blog’s Temporary URL (http://temp.domain.com/username/). 


Switching from a temporary URL 

You don’t need to go back into phpMyAdmin until you’ve modified your name servers so that your domain name resolves to your account.

  1.       Go to your WordPress Admin Panel and login.
  2.       Select Settings. You’ll find WordPress and the site’s address (URL). Your Temporary URL is set to (http://temp.domain.com/username/).
  3.       Replace this with your domain name, along with the appropriate folders, and you’re good to go. 

Temporary URL servers have lower storage since they’re just used to test a website on the network until it goes online, not to benchmark performance.

When audiences refer to Linux, they generally refer to a distribution of Linux. Technically speaking, Linux is a kernel that simply puts functions as an interface between computer programs and hardware.

Kernel, the fundamental component of the OS. A Linux distribution is an OS made of Linux kernel, libraries, GNU, and applications. Linux distributions usually provide desktop operating environments, a package management framework, and a collection of preinstalled software.

To install the essential packages and apply the necessary security fixes, it is important to know the existing operating system, its versions, and also the Linux kernel version on your operating system. Not just that, being a system administrator, understanding the system often comes in handy for troubleshooting problems. 

This article explains how to verify the version and distribution of Linux installed on your device while using the command line.

lsb_release Command

The lsb_release tool shows LSB (Linux Standard Base) Linux distribution information.  This command should operate on all distributions of Linux that have installed the lsb-release package:

lsb_release -a

Output

No LSB modules are available.

Distributor ID: Debian

Description: Debian GNU/Linux 9.5

Release: 9.5

Codename: stretch

In the description line, the Linux distribution and version are being shown. It has Debian GNU/Linux 9.5 (stretch) mounted on the device, as you can see from the data above.

You can display the description line, which shows your Debian version passing the -d switch.

lsb_release -d

The output looks like this:

Description:  Debian GNU/Linux 9.5 (stretch)

You should try to find the Linux version using any of the other methods below if you get ‘command not found: lsb release’.

/etc/os-release file 

This file includes identification data for the operating system, including distribution information. This file should be present on all systems running systemd.

To display the contents of the os-release file, either using cat or less: 

cat /etc/os-release

The output should look like:

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 9"

NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"

VERSION_ID="9"

VERSION="9 (stretch)"

ID=debian

HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"

SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"

BUG_REPORT_URL=https://bugs.debian.org/

/etc/issue file 

The file includes the system identifier text that is displayed well before prompt for login. This file usually contains details about the Linux version:

cat /etc/issue

The output should look like this:

Debian GNU/Linux 9 \n \l

hostnamectl command 

hostnamectl utility is a component of the systemd package which is used for querying and modifying the hostname of the system. It also shows the Linux distribution and kernel version.

hostnamectl

Output

Static hostname: debian9.localdomain

 Icon name: computer-vm

 Chassis: vm

 Machine ID: a92099e30f704d559adb18ebc12ddac4

 Boot ID: 7607cbe605d44f638d6542d4c7b3878e

 Virtualization: qemu

 Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)

 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64

 Architecture: x86-64

/etc/*release file 

If none of the above commands executes for you, then you are most probably running a very old and obsolete Linux distribution. In this case, one of the following commands may be used to print the distribution release or version file content:

Enter the following command to figure out what version of the Linux kernel is installed on your system:

cat /etc/*release

cat /etc/*version

uname command 

Several system information, including the Linux kernel architecture, name, version, and release, are displayed by the uname command.

uname -srm

The output should look like this:

Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 x86_64

The output shows Linux kernel is 64-bit, and its version is “4.9.0-8-amd64.

There are a number of different functions that can help you figure out which version of the Linux distribution is operating on your device.

You can also check distribution and version from the graphical interface if you have desktop-enabled Linux distribution.

Virtual Private Servers (VPS) have been used for years by individuals, organizations and companies for virtual hosting. However, VPS has only recently become a more serious server provider contender for those in the financial markets. With the increase in the use of Expert Advisors (EAs) and Trading Robots in the retail trading community, the demand for VPS has grown.

But what exactly is a VPS, and how does it help forex traders? What are the benefits of using a VPS for forex trading? We answer these questions below.

What’s a Forex VPS? Here’s A Refresher

A VPS offers a partitioned area of a server to an individual forex trader.  It also offers it’s own operating system, memory, storage, and data transfer limits. 

Learn more about a Forex VPS in this article.

So, what exactly does the process look like for establishing a VPS? When the forex VPS hosting service is setup for the first time, the trader will receive a dedicated IP address with a username and password that allows them to gain access to the VPS.

By using the remote desktop connection on a computer with a Windows operating system, the trader can access the VPS, download the MT4 trading platform and access the broker. You can also access remote desktop on a linux or MAC pc.

Simply put, the VPS provides a remote desktop function for the trader’s EAs, which results in several key benefits. But just what are those benefits?

Advantaged of Choosing a Forex VPS

There are several reasons why retail traders are choosing VPS to run their EAs. The three most important areas where a VPS provides benefits over a traditional server option include stability, speed, and cost.

First of all, stability is a major concern for any trader at any level. For retail forex traders who choose to use automated trading, a VPS provides an excellent time-related benefit in that the system can continue to trade 24
hours a day. These trades can happen without monitoring (from the trader). 

Furthermore, the VPS provider will make sure that the server is constantly monitored, ensuring no any network downtime are tended to. Because of this reliability, retail forex traders can expect to benefit from more
trading opportunities and the continuous execution of their strategies.

This constant monitoring also prevents and limits attacks because everything is kept up-to-date. Network upkeep and antivirus installations are downloaded as soon as possible, which leads to fewer system errors, crashes, and less opportunities for hacking.

A trader’s position is much more secure with a VPS because of the increased stability that the constant monitoring provides. Network downtime, power disruptions, system crashes, and flawed connections are extremely limited.

The second major benefit of using a forex VPS provider is speed. When the retail forex trader chooses a VPS that is located close to his broker’s server, then network latency is significantly lowered. Low latency means that EAs can perform faster trade executions. Most experts recommend that the network latency should be below 5 milliseconds.

Speed is also affected by the server’s ability to handle high workloads. A VPS provides a major advantage in this area because they are able to split their resources among a number of users. However, it’s important to choose a VPS provider who guarantees 99.9% or 100% uptime, to ensure that the server usage is being managed.

The third and final important benefit of using a forex VPS provider is cost. The cost of a VPS is much lower than that of a dedicated server. Retail forex traders cannot afford the same fees that institutional traders are able to for their trading engines. Therefore, a VPS is a fantastic option, cost-wise, for retail traders.

What To Research When Deciding On A Forex VPS Provider

If you’ve decided that using a VPS for your forex trading, then you’ve taken the first step to enjoying better stability, faster speeds, and lower costs. Now it’s important to research the different VPS providers who are available.

There are several factors you should take into account:

    • Platform Availability: Make sure that your forex broker will allow you to access the MT4 and MT5 platform on a VPS server. These platforms offer options to trade with EAs and Trading Robots, which work extremely well with a VPS. If possible, test out your EA on your platform for efficiency.

 

    • Plan Options: You should choose a VPS provider who offers a range of plans. That way, you can make sure you’re paying for exactly what you need – and nothing else.

 

    • VPS Location: Make sure your VPS provider offers a server in a location that is close to your broker’s server. This will help minimize network latency.

 

  • Uptime Guarantee: Performance is key, and if the VPS isn’t monitored closely enough so that 99.9% or 100% uptime is guaranteed, then you should consider a different VPS provider.

Conclusion

With many retail forex traders using EAs, the need for a stable, fast, and cost-effective servers is growing. Virtual servers are proving to be the answer.

If you’re using EAs or Trading Robots for your forex trading, then a VPS might be the right option for you. IO Zoom can help you choose the best forex trading plan for your specific trading needs.
