Security and Reliability Fuel Hosting Concerns for Web-Dependent Designers, Developers, Digital Agencies and SMBs
On the reliability front, companies with fewer than 100 employees reported significant frustration with their hosting provider, and almost half of these respondents experienced technical issues from their hosting company in the past 12 months (on average 4.5 times per year). Among the 450 web-dependent professionals surveyed, 68 percent described the relationship with their hosting partner as a client-vendor relationship. Respondents also noted the importance of choosing the correct hosting provider for them in the current business climate. In fact, 86 percent of those surveyed reported that they felt a company's competitiveness would be impacted by this decision.
"If a website or application fuels the revenue generation of a business, the choice of a hosting provider should be a strategic one," said Liquid Web CTO Joe Oesterling. "Yet, often businesses make the mistake of choosing their provider based on price rather than ensuring they have a dependable partner. It's important not to buy into empty promises of "best support" or "most secure" without validating the performance and security of the offered hosting solutions, reviewing current customer testimonials and customer satisfaction results, and researching the skill level of the resources that will be assisting you to design, migrate and support your solution. It is definitely worth the time to make sure you are picking a partner, not a vendor."
Another trend the survey reported is the mass adoption of easy-to-use applications such as content management systems like WordPress. WordPress has enabled SMBs, designers, developers and agencies to grow their businesses; however, this has created a need for managed hosting solutions to support them throughout this growth, helping to scale the content management system accordingly.
About half of the respondents (48 percent) build websites on WordPress with 71 percent using a managed WordPress hosting solution. Of those who build websites on WordPress, 78 percent reported that they are considering using a managed WordPress service in the next 6-12 months. This included 88 percent of current managed WordPress users and 53 percent of non-managed WordPress users.
These results indicate that developers, designers, agencies and SMBs are looking for ways to find efficiencies in their work and worry less about the underlying infrastructure. Among current managed WordPress users, performance guarantees, simple installation and automatic backups are the top 3 benefits they reported experiencing with managed WordPress hosting.
"We see designers, developers, agencies and the SMBs they serve demanding simpler, more scalable hosting solutions as they become ever-more dependent on the web and cloud," said Oesterling. "We see this audience of web-reliant companies largely underserved as bigger players focus primarily on the enterprise."
When selecting a hosting provider, survey respondents noted the top five factors that are most important to them are reliability, security, performance guarantees, knowledgeable customer support representatives, and 24/7 customer support. Respondents, however, felt that they were not receiving most of these elements with almost 40 percent experiencing dissatisfaction in pricing increases and inexperienced customer support. To complicate matters further, 35 percent say their dissatisfaction is driven by a poor migration experience, ultimately preventing these businesses from switching to a better hosting provider.
"It's clear that hosting providers need to be a partner in their clients' businesses, not just a service," said Oesterling. "At Liquid Web, it's our mission to provide speed, reliability and security for our clients' websites and applications. That is their business, and we see it as part of ours, too."
Methodology The survey was conducted in the second half of 2016. The total number of participants for the study is 450, including about 40 percent web designer (182 respondents), 48 percent web developer (218 respondents), and 11 percent digital agency decision maker (50 respondents). Of those, 77 percent belonged to companies with less than 999 employees and 23 percent were from companies with more than 1,000 employees.

Ellen DeGeneres NOT Hosting Game Show To Distract From Divorce Rumors, Despite Report
(Gett y Images)
Ellen DeGeneres is NOT hosting her new game show because she wants to distract from rumors she's getting a divorce from Portia de Rossi, despite a bogus webloid report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this claim. We're told it's "false."
It was recently announced DeGeneres has signed on for the hour-long, primetime game show, "Ellen's Game of Games," which will be based on segments from her daytime talk show. But Celeb Dirty Laundry is now arbitrarily claiming DeGeneres is only hosting the game show to "repair her reputation" and "bury the divorce reports" about her and de Rossi.
The website goes on to allege DeGeneres has a "two-faced personality," which is why she's now trying to "prove to the entertainment industry that she has what it takes to become a huge primetime star." Without a single source to back up its claim, the outlet adds, "It wouldn't be surprising if Ellen even tried to move her way up to the late night talk show circuit as well."
Despite how ridiculous the report seems, Gossip Cop still checked in with a reliable source close to the situation, who exclusively assures us the webloid's story is entirely "false." The baseless theory that DeGeneres is only hosting a game show to distract from her personal life is both preposterous and untrue. Additionally, her marriage to de Rossi is going strong.
Of course, we're not surprised by the site's inaccurate report. Gossip Cop recently busted Celeb Dirty Laundry for falsely claiming DeGeneres was trying to "salvage" her marriage to de Rossi. There was no truth to that story, and the same goes for this latest one.

Google Firebase Hosting & Custom Domain - The Missing Manual
Why would you spend acquiring a web hosting plan for any Ionic/Angular/Native/Desktop app backed specially by Google Firebase database or any other, when the Google Firebase Cloud Platform comes with one simple but extra ordinary feature - Google Firebase Hosting that too with an option to go with self owned domain.
It took me few minutes to configure and get started with this Wowsome! feature in the Google Firebase Console. I am sharing the steps on how to get one configured for you.
Step 1:
When on your Google Firebase Console switch to Hosting tab which lies under the left vertical navigation bar.
Step 2:
Even though you haven't yet configured any domain and this is your first time you will always see above screen with a Get Started button. Hit this button and continue for two steps.
Step 4:
When you see the above screen hit the Connect Domain button. you will be prompted to add your self owned domain name like below:
After you type in your domain name hit Continue.
Note: You also have an option on this screen to redirect your domain to an existing website which is already running and hosted elsewhere.
Step 5:
Google Firebase wants you to verify the ownership of the domain name you just added to connect. All you need to do is copy paste this record into your domain control setting (DNS) and save as below Godaddy example:
After your domain ownership is verified by Google Firebase you will be shared some settings of A record that you will need to enter into you domain control (DNS) settings as below:
Make sure you remove all existing default entires under A host or else it will not work. If you failed to do so Google will warn you with a message inside Firebase console > Hosting > Connect Domain > Message — "Google Firebase is expecting A record to be xxxx and found yyyy".
Note: Google Firebase configures behind the scenes a SSL certificate (example — https://www.mycustomdomain.com) which takes time, for me everything worked within 24 hours.
Well its time to keep your fingers crossed if all goes well and you followed me correctly you should see below screen when you hit www.mycustomdomain.com in the browser address bar:
You see above screen as there are no files to be served or not uploaded yet, to deploy please see my earlier story on Google Firebase can host your website and single page application
