Bluehost is fantastic cubecart hosting company. With the latest PHP and MySQL installed, powerful servers and the latest security upgrades bluehost is a top choice for cubecart hosting. SSL (secure sockets layer) is available on bluehost plans allowing secure connection and transfer of data between the client and the web server(https). This is important for any online store because security is top priority when it comes to important and sensitive information like social security numbers, credit cards etc. For SSL you will need a dedicated IP address which is also available on Bluehost for a small monthly fee. You do not need to worry about disc space and bandwidth because they are unlimited on Blue host. Unlimited CubeCart installations are available, and for less tech savvy there is simplescripts installer that will help you install the shopping cart with few clicks. For SEO htaccess is available for seo friendly urls of your site. We have successfully installed CubeCart and have tested all its features. Everything was running great.

Modx cms script is a free software licensed under the famous General Public License (GNU GPL) for short. As under the terms of the license it is open source, free to modify and distribute. Open source have its benefits, like better security, forks, faster development. As content management system it have tons of features that can be used to create any kind of website. For example modx may be used to create community site where users can discuss, and exchange opinions. Or can be used to create gallery with photos organised in albums, personal blog, or anything else. Through the addon system and the template system can be customized in any way possible. The large community behind the cms provides support and developers add new features with almost any releasy. For modx web hosting special conditions are not required. A web server with MySQL database system and PHP programming language are the perfect environment. Bluehost servers are with the latest versions of these software systems and modx tests were excellent. We recommend Bluehost for modx cms script.

This is very important for e-commerce sites, banks, governments, community sites or sites that require important login information (password) or any other sites that transfer sensitive data between the host and the web server, because the standard http transfer is plain-text – meaning that someone may intercept the data traveling and steal it or change it.

Bluehost Simple DNS Zone Editor

admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 19:26:15 +0000

DNS (Domain Name System) is a Internet name system for resolving names to IP addresses. Every computer (servers too) or device that connects to internet needs unique IP address. Because numbers are not easy to remember, the DNS was invented. DNS uses nameservers which return the IP address of the domain name (or subdomain name in question). With Bluehost cPanel simple DNS zone Editor you can easily add A and CNAME records. A record is like www.example.com or ftp.example.com. Cname is canonical name an alias to another domain name or subdomain. To add A record, open the Simple DNZ zone tool and follow these simple steps:

To add an A record:

1. Select a domain from the drop-down menu.
2. Type in the Name and Address of the A record.
3. Click Add A Record.

To add a CNAME record:

1. Select a domain from the drop-down menu.
2. Type in the Name and CNAME of the CNAME record.
3. Click Add CNAME Record.

With this tool you can also delete the records wherever you like.

Bluehost CPU Quota and Usage limit

admin — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 18:43:24 +0000

Because in shared hosting environment every users shares the resources some preventive software must be placed to prevent abuse. Bluehost have cpu quota/usage limit placed to prevent abusive users to take down the server. This have been very restrictive in previous years and lots of users have complained to get cpu quota errors:

“This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota”

The software that calculates the usage limit have been updated (January 25, 2008) with the newer version of the software that changes the way how CPU usage is calculated on the servers. This should reduce the number of people that run into this problem by 90%. You can read more about the software update at Matt Heaton president of Bluehost, Hostmonster and Fastdomain official blog: http://www.mattheaton.com/?p=119 .
