CrowdReviews.com Announces Guide for Selecting Web Hosting Companies
SANTA FE, NM --(Marketwired - February 29, 2016) - CrowdReviews.com, a platform for reviewing and ranking web hosting providers, has released a set of tips assisting buyers of web hosting services in finding the right hosting solution for their needs. The tips outline the best practices to follow in order to identify the web hosting companies which most consistently meet the expectations of their customers. While the tips can help reduce the risk of dissatisfaction, they are not a guaranteed set of guidelines to find the perfect web hosting company.
First, CrowdReviews.com recommends that buyers consider web hosting companies which have a history of in-depth reviews written by actual customers. With the Internet becoming a primary resource for research, it has also become an opportunity for many companies to create reviews which may be biased towards the side of the provider. It is recommended for buyers to not only try to identify reviews which may be critical of web hosting companies, but to utilize multiple reviews and resources. Many web hosting companies will include testimonials on their website; CrowdReviews.com provides reviews on vendor profiles with the distinction on whether the review is written by a customer, employee, competitor, or an anonymous user.
It is also recommended for buyers to better identify their needs and objectives with web hosting services and to compare different offerings based on the software they make available, the level of hosting being provided, and information about the hosting environment. Not every web hosting company offers the same level of support or the same specifications for the hosting environment. It is important to understand what a website needs and whether the web hosting company is able to meet those requirements.

GreenGeeks Leads the Way with PHP 7 Web Hosting
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – PHP 7, an update on PHP, which is one of the top programming languages used in over 200 million websites worldwide, was recently released and becomes immediately accessible to current users of PHP 5.6 on the GreenGeeks and other servers.
"PHP 7 hosting is expected to deliver better performance than its predecessors: it can process twice as many requests per second with lower server memory usage than previous versions." said Kaumil Patel, Chief Operating Officer. "GreenGeeks clients who are already on PHP 5.6 will automatically upgrade to PHP 7," he added.
PHP has been powered by the Zend engine since its 1999 release as PHP 4. Zend is an open source execution engine for the PHP language. Zend for PHP 7 is code named PHP-NG referring to its next-gen credentials. Performance gains from upgrading to PHP 7 are significant, ranging from 25 to 70 percent improvement on apps deployment without necessitating any changes in code.
Enhancements in apps accessibility have been consistent whether these apps are used on websites, enterprise, cloud or mobile interfaces.
Apps perform faster at reduced server memory utilization. In today's environment, technology usage has increased constantly with technology saturation and better connectivity, and website workloads have increased exponentially. PHP 7 powered by Zend NG facilitates improved capacity, ensuring that more users are served concurrently without any need for hardware upgrades. In addition, PHP 7 delivers additional features, including scalar type hints and declarations, the new Spaceship Operation that is useful for combined comparisons in sorting functions, addition of anonymous classes and other features that speed up coding and execution. PHP 7 deprecated certain functionalities, unsupported and obsolete APIs and extensions to support the improvements. Sites that are running on older PHP versions may experience some coding issues.
WordPress users and others who rely heavily on PHP for website development will sense an apparent improvement in performance with PHP 7 hosting. Existing elements that affect performance, such as latency, loading media and browser efficiency may still slow down the website execution, but the improvement will still be noticeable.
California-based web host GreenGeeks launched PHP 7 hosting for its subscribers as soon as the final version was released. However, current GreenGeeks customers with perceived compatibility issues with their websites may not automatically upgrade to PHP 7, but a manual option is provided to over-ride this setting, so you can configure the upgrade on your own. GreenGeeks web host specialists caution PHP users whose latest updates go back to 2000 that scripts and applications must be PHP-ready prior to upgrading.
To ensure that the GreenGeeks hosting environment meets your needs, contact a GreenGeeks hosting specialist to discuss the process of upgrading or migrating to a PHP 7 environment. GreenGeeks is focused on green web hosting by committing to the use of renewable energy and increasing process efficiency by deploying new technologies.
About GreenGeeksFounded in 2007 by Trey Gardner, GreenGeeks provides the industry's leading green energy shared, reseller, VPS and dedicated server hosting services. GreenGeeks replaces to the grid 3 times their energy consumption with energy having been produced by renewable energy, making GreenGeeks a carbon-reducing company.

Drew Barrymore Hosting Fancy Penthouse Pokemon Party
Share.
Ain't no party like a West Coast fancy Pokemon party. By Seth G. MacyDrew Barrymore is hosting a special, very fancy, Pokemon Afternoon Soire in Los Angeles at the Sunset Tower penthouse this Saturday, February 27.
While the chance for Barrymore to battle with her elite team of Pokemon will probably present itself, the main focus of the event is to celebrate the brand's "categorical expansion into unisex fashion."
Got feedback on our player?
We want to hear it."I'm immersed in branding and brand expansion every day with my own companies," Barrymore said, adding she believes "what Pokémon has done here is so smart and such a perfect way to expand their footprint."
This isn't like the Pokemon party your parents might have thrown you for your eighth birthday. It's a full-on, fancy Pokemon soire against the backdrop of the "breathtaking, panoramic views" of the Hollywood Hills.
"The most highly sought after stylists, bloggers and influencers," will be there to celebrate the official kick-off of Pokemon's 20th anniversary celebration. Guests of the penthouse Pokemon party will receive "specially curated gift bags for the family," as well as "complimentary Pokemon inspired nail art."
Special guest Pikachu will be on hand to lounge with guests in "this coveted locale."
"From Los Angeles to New York, entire families will don Pokémon inspired lifestyle fashion," the announcement reads somewhat menacingly.
It's not the first collision of Nintendo with the world of high fashion. Italian fashion house Moschino announced a line of Nintendo-inspired clothes and accessories in December.

Ariana Grande Says She's Hosting 'SNL' After Dropping 'Dangerous Woman' Site
Ariana Grande left a voicemail on her brand-new website Thursday, alerting fans she was having a heart attack — but not before she takes the Saturday Night Live stage in March. Not only is she scheduled to perform on the show March 12, she'll be the host for the night as well — a feat only few performers choose to take on when gracing the SNL stage.
"I'm having a minor heart attack, and by minor I mean a major one," Grande said in a recorded message posted to Dangerous Woman. "I can't even." The news (and website) come as Grande is preparing her forthcoming album Dangerous Woman, due out later this year.

Grande continued. "So, I'm getting ready, I'm in rehearsals now and I can't wait for you guys to hear and see everything!"
Grande has been using social media to promote Dangerous Woman quite successfully, teasing fans with a splice of "Be Alright" — the second track she'll perform from the album on Saturday Night Live — on her Snapchat channel, playing only about 10 seconds, which already sounds like a club anthem in the works.
As news of her SNL announcement and Dangerous Woman website broke, the Arianators went wild, of course:

Spotify to abandon own hosting infrastructure and move to Google Cloud
And while mostly giving Google a pat on the back with this announcement, I felt like it stopped just short of a resounding endorsement when Spotify noted that "it's a competitive space and we expect the big players to be battling it out for the foreseeable future" nearly as if to say we always have options. The huge task will take place over the coming weeks and months and hopefully should not result in any service disruptions for users. "Now that they've begun using Google Cloud Platform, we can't wait to see what Spotify builds next", Google wrote in its blog post. According to an interview with Spotify vice president of engineering Nicholas Harteau in Wired, early cloud services weren't ready for the kind of tasks Spotify needed.
This partnership will likely be invisible to users, but it's a big deal for Google Cloud Platform: Spotify is a global, media-intensive streaming service and its vote of confidence in Google's infrastructure is a pretty big endorsement.
"Recently that balance has shifted". Spotify represents a substantial win for Google, which has been trying to position its cloud computing services as a lower-cost, higher-performing alternative to better established services from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft.
Spotify's decision to go with Google may be the biggest get for the search giant yet, but it wasn't a technical hurdle that finally tipped Spotify toward the cloud-it was a price drop. Till now, Spotify has maintained its own data servers, and has ensured quick streaming of music to its customers by leasing space close to them.
The company is tackling the microservices that run Spotify's products first, moving them from the on-premise facilities into Google's Cloud Storage (specifically Cloud Datastore and Cloud Bigtable) and Compute Engine products, among others. The migration will be handled in two parts: Spotify's services and the actual library of music. Then again, it's in good company: Netflix, which obviously competes with Amazon Prime Video, just finished its migration onto Amazon Web Services. The company's Cloud VPN service will allow Spotify to connect its network with Google's cloud and exchange data via a secure VPN connection.

Apple launches 'Podcasts Connect' Web portal for managing digital content
From podcast submission to RSS feed editing, the Podcasts Connect portal keeps a bevy of content management tools — presented in an easy-to-use dashboard style layout — close at hand with Mac and PC Web browser support, an upgrade from the previous system that required clicking through the "Submit a Podcast" link in iTunes.
As noted by podcast hosting service Libsyn earlier this month, the new dashboard lets users create new podcasts or take control of existing feeds. Anyone with an Apple ID can submit a podcast for validation once they create an RSS feed and associated host URL.
According to Apple's Podcasts Connect support webpage, users can submit, test and validate episodes directly from on the Web portal. The dashboard also provides content management tools, allowing users to refresh, delete, hide and unhide specific shows from the iTunes podcast directory. More advanced options include monetization and marketing management.
Since popularizing podcasts a s an accessible, yet widely distributable, digital medium, Apple has generally taken a hands-off approach to the serialized Internet broadcasts. The company does, however, pre-install a first-party Podcasts app on iOS devices and hosts a corresponding content category in the iTunes Store. Most recently, Apple added a Podcasts app analogue to fourth-generation Apple TV boxes with tvOS version 9.1.1.
The Podcasts Connect portal went live on Tuesday and is accessible by anyone holding a valid Apple ID.

Business web hosting FAQ
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is one of the three essential components to any online presence. First, you need a web address, or domain name, which is referred to as a uniform resource locator (URL). Then you need a website, which can be created using a web content management system (WCMS). This allows users with little or no knowledge of HTML code, to construct and maintain a web site. The third component essential for a web site is a host provider, who will allocate server space for all your web files. Very often, the host provider will facilitate your domain name registration, as well as designing and creating your site.
Which package is right for me?
You should think about the goals of your business, and the target group you are trying to reach. The main differentiators between hosting packages are,
Storage space
Data transfer limits
Number of email accounts
Tools and applications
Web solutions for all
The types of packages available are designed to cover all aspects of today's lifestyle.
If you are a personal user then a free, web-based host will give you a limited amount of disk space, as well as some basic media content platforms. People can interact with you via a simple form or blog.
A shared hosting service will give you multiple email accounts, as well as a higher bandwidth to deal with more traffic. This is suitable for small businesses or e-commerce sites.
A dedicated server will provide you with a high bandwidth environment, with dynamic media content, and the ability to interact with large numbers of clients in real time. Suitable for larger companies, with additional services to deal with high volume traffic.
What should I look for in a web-hosting provider?
The two critical areas are reliability and customer support. Most reputable host providers, such as Pac Web Hosting offer 24/7 support, so their technicians can instantly fix any web site problems. With a well-established outfit, continued technical support is available to ensure your site never goes offline.
Can a web-hosting provider create my site?
The simple answer is yes. Your site can be constructed, and maintained by a team of experts, who will ensure your business can operate efficiently, with no downtime. FTP protocols allow for any format to be uploaded to your server, giving you freedom to select your web building application.
Web statistics
According to statistics, Asia is by far the biggest user of the World Wide Web, with more than double the users of Europe. Reliable sources such as Internet world stats show the current world trends of Internet usage. These figures are projected to rise exponentially over the next five years, bringing all commerce into the web arena. This means it makes sense to make your web imprint now, and get ahead of your competitors. The constant development in web based technologies require ever changing solutions to web based commerce, something that a good web host provider can offer. In terms of business, the Internet provides the perfect platform for a globalised solution, allowing your business to make an impression where it counts.

Wix will also have a presence on matchdays at the Etihad Stadium, appearing on the club's pitchside LEDs during matches.
The partnership extends to City's sister clubs New York City FC and Melbourne City as well.
The partnership has been launched with the release of an online video featuring Pablo Zabaleta, Fernandinho, Nicolas Otamendi and Raheem Sterling.
They can be seen building a Wix website dedicated to the fans and the chants they love, with pundit Chris Kamara commentating on every click.
It ties in with a new Wix website, Sing Loud, Sing Proud, in which fans can listen to some of their favourite chants and upload their own renditions of City songs.
"We have seen great success advertising in the NFL's Super Bowl and now we're looking to expand to the most popular sport in the world – football," said Omer Shai, chief marketing officer for Wix.
"The partnership with CFG is a natural one as our two brands share values and vision, and we're confident it will boost the Wix brand amongst the massive fan bases of all three clubs."
Omar Berrada, group commercial director for City Football Marketing, said: "This partnership will not only introduce our clubs' global fan bases to an easily accessible online tool, but also provide them with opportunities to get closer to all the on-the-pitch and behind-the-scenes action."
