Quality Web Hosting

You must be wondering how much resource does it really take to run a cool gaming web site. Honestly when you are starting out, it doesn't take that much web space or bandwidth. If you are new in web site or web hosting then let me tell you in short what it is and how it works. If you are experienced with web sites and/or web hosting then you may skip two paragraphs below.

A web site is an online community or place you visit using the internet. For example www.rcms-pro.com is a web site, and it contains different web pages. So a web site in short is collection of web pages that are accessible online via internet.

Web hosting is just a server hosted in a datacenter of a company. A server is what makes the internet possible. www.rcms-pro.com is located in a server and it is connected to different computers. So when you use the browser and type in www.rcms-pro.com, the address calls up the computer or server www.rcms-pro.com is located and presents with the web pages in it. When you are going to start your own online business, you will need to rent some online space from a web hosting company. There are many different web hosting companies out there, and matter of fact lots of scams too. So to help you not fall for such traps I've reviewed some web hosting companies myself in order to recommend the best company for you.

When you start your online arcade business you will have to worry about two things in main. They are web space and bandwidth. Web space is same as disk space used up by your flash games and our content management system. But when it comes to running RCMS Pro products, you will have to think about some extra things. RCMS Pro products were written using a programming language called PHP and the data are stored in a database called MySQL. MySQL and PHP are so much popular nowadays that almost all web hosting company offers you. The best of all MySQL and PHP are open source, so you don't have to pay any extra money to use them.

There are lots of software piracy going on, and to save our products from going to illegal hands we RCMS Pro decided to encode our products. This way hackers/crackers can't view our original source codes and also can't null our scripts. Many customers might not like encoded products, but we take software piracy very seriously and can't allow our products to be distributed illegally. Honestly it truly hurts when you see your own product on which you worked so hard being distributed illegally.

This is why RCMS Pro products needs two more extra things to run properly. They are cURL compiled in PHP and Zend Optimizer. If you don't have Zend Optimizer installed, then an alternate for Zend Optimizer would be IonCube. These things are all free and open source, its just your web hosting company needs to have them compiled in their server. So make sure you ask any web hosting company you choose has the following benefits: enough web space, enough bandwidth, PHP, MySQL Database, cURL compiled in PHP, Zend Optimizer or IonCube Loader.

If you are a busy person like me, then most likely you won't have much time to look for web hosting or might not get much time to review different web hosting companies. This is why I am going to recommend one web hosting company called BlueHost. BlueHost provides everything you need to run any kind of web site you want. And best of all, Bluehost has support for the extra little things RCMS Pro products needs to run (cURL, Zend Optimizer/IonCube Loader).

So if you are serious about your online business, and need a strong backbone for your gaming website then RCMS Pro and BlueHost is your best choice. BlueHost provides 50 GB webspace, 999 GB, ability to run 6 websites in 1 account, 2,500 email accounts, free domain name and ofcourse cURL, Zend Optimizer and even IonCube Loader. If you would like to give RCMS Pro some credit for recommending this superb company then please visit BlueHost by following this link:
