Member You - A Guide to Server Colocation
Seth Godin developed Squidoo because he was dissatisfied with the quality of information often provided by search engines. He wanted to create a space (a lens) where internet marketers could provide in-depth information about a topic, program or area of interest.He set up Squidoo so that internet marketers could create a lens that had a number of modules that brought together information from other sources such as Article Directories, YouTube, Flickr, Amazon.com, EBay and other websites and blogs. He wanted to integrate RSS feeds as well.Each Squidoo lens represents an in-depth focus or window on a topic. People have created lenses on affiliate programs, products, services, singers, hobbies, sports, personal development, entertainment, parenting, pets and charities. The topic of your lens is only limited by your interest and imagination.Squidoo lenses are very easy to develop and you can develop a lens (in-depth, focused web page) on any topic. You can have as many lenses as you like. It is a chance to be highly creative, have fun, brand yourself and your ex

Server colocation is usually for those who own their own server hardware and require complete control over the server configuration. Colocation specialists will house and connect a server you own, to a fast internet connection, usually in a secure datacentre, with 24/7 support.
It is important to choose a colocation provider that either has their own data center or has a presence in one of the leading "data hotels." World Class data centres are located in major industrial cities (New York, London, Frankfurt for example). Here they are able to take advantage of the convergence of high capacity network connectivity that occurs in a major commercial centre. For instance fibre, and metrolinks and ease of connection to major Points of Presence (POPS) to the major telco's. For this reason only a very few of the leading ISP's or colocation specialist operate their own dedicated centre's due to the costs of providing remote connectivity, redundant power sources, air conditioning and filtered clean air.
Also not all internet connections are equal. You really need to enquire if your colocation specialist is "multihomed" using the BGP protocol by having at least two connections to Tier One providers. Tier One providers are very large ISP's or Telco's who operate their own fibre links and networks without having to operate traffic (or transit) over another ISP's network. An example of a Tier One provider would be Level3 communications.
In addition to Tier One connections, the colocation specialist should have peering arrangement's at major exchange point's such as LINX. A peering point is where a number of ISP's arrange to "meet up" to exchange traffic between each other rather than pay for transit over someone else's network. In a way they are "cutting out the middleman!" This not only improves redundancy but also reduces latency; people will be able to access the websites and content hosted on your colocated server much faster if you colo host is well peered.
Quite often a web host or Colocation ISP will negotiate many peering arrangements with other ISP's with whom they are exchanging a lot of traffic. Not only does this give them more resilience, but it also reduces their own transit costs with the Tier One providers enabling them to offer more competitive data transfer pricing.
Latency is particularly important when it comes to game server hosting and colocation. Quite often an ISP specialising in games hosting will give you an IP address for you to test ping times and carry out traceroutes.

I hated math in high school, which explains why I struggled through Algebra One two times and finally passed it my senior year. I hadn’t expected math to become a major influence in my life. I didn’t care how many apples Johnny had to have if he needed to eat one, three time a day over 14 days. I didn’t like apples that much. I didn’t get it then, but I love numbers today and I like apples too.How Much Will Johnny Sell?If you ask me how much Johnny will sell this month, well, this is an equation I can get into. If we run the numbers, we can pretty accurately determine where Johnny will end up this month, quarter and year. As the numbers and ratios change so will the final results. This can be exciting, when we are interested in growing our business through sales activities.The problem associated with calculating sales numbers is that many salespeople and sales managers don’t keep track of the vital numbers to make the analysis. The numbers are an important indicator of success and failure. The numbers aren’t that difficult to track but many people are afrai

You want to make money by selling with an internet business? That's wonderful! You've carefully thought this out, and decided that you want to sell things on the internet to make money. Well lucky for you, I'm here to give you some tips (ten of them to be exact) so you can profit from your business idea.In no particular order...1) This may seem quite obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people don't keep this in mind: have a clear goal in mind for your business, and work toward that goal so it becomes a reality. 2) Before you start your internet business, make sure you have at least some sort of plan of action. 3) Consider how much time you will be able to commit to your business, and balance that out with your life in the real world. 4) Research what is 'hot', and what is 'not'. That way you can choose what to sell. Also when choosing what to sell, take into account your own expertise and knowledge about that kind of product. 5) Think about what kind of advertising you will use to promote your internet business. Can you afford a lot of paid

Advanced Summary: This article pertains to real estate search engine optimization (SEO). In this article's usage, real estate SEO is the act of improving a real estate agent's website for better search engine visibility.I know a lot of real estate agents who are fixated on how they rank in Google, Yahoo and MSN for their company name and/or their own name.From an SEO standpoint, this is usually a waste of time. These agents could spend their time better doing any number of things -- publishing articles, writing new web content, posting to a blog, acquiring inbound links."Don't sweat it," I say to them. "Don't bother Googling yourself."Here's why:Don't Sweat It - Reason #1 You will almost always rank #1 for your company name, because (A) it's probably unique and (B) it's probably all over your website. For instance, if you Google my company name ("Arming Your Farming"), you'll see I'm #1 for the phrase. Why? Because I'm the only "Arming Your Farming" company around, so it's easy to rank first.Don't Sweat It - Reason #

If you have followed through with creating a decent business plan, then you are ready to pick a location. You might already have one in mind. But, you need other things to think about.Location, Location, Location. That’s the rule of thumb. If you are planning on opening a restaurant, you need the perfect area. But, there is no set formula for where the perfect location is. A restaurant out in the middle of nowhere could thrive because of its sense of privacy. A restaurant just up the street from another restaurant could thrive because it offers consumers a choice. You never really know if the location is going to be a hit or not. So, it does require a good bit of thought.Of course, location can be measured rather decently if you are able to look around and see a need without the service. If you want to open a computer service store, right in the middle of a town that has no computer service store is a great bet. But, you really have to know the area. There are some towns throughout the country that are still in the dark ages. A computer store would not thriv

Hardware Choices
Server housing costs in London or New York can be expensive. Not suprisingly your hardware should be "rack optimized." Colocation is usually priced "per U." A "U" is 1.75 inches (or 4.44 cms). So rack servers, unlike desktop machines are long and flat. Data Centre's also employ different types Rack Cabinets which are typically 42U in height, enough to house 42 1U servers though some of this space is used to accomodate switches, cabling. Often some space is left free to allow for efficient air distribution in the cabinet.
It's often worth liasing with your colo specialists over the choice of the physical hardware and especially the case and rack mounting. The colocation specialist will know which brands work in their racks. Personally I have found Dell Rack Optimized Servers and rail kits the quickest and easiest to rail up.
So you have decided on the hardware, and you are about to ship your server to the remote colocation data centre. Bear in mind your server will shortly be hundreds of miles away, indeed if you are in the USA, it might even be few hours flight away so there are a few technical points to consider before the machine is boxed, shipped and colocated.
Make sure the Operating System reboots
All colocated dedicated servers run "headless." This means without the use of a keyboard or monitor attached. Therefore you will need to ensure that the servers gets past the BIOS screen and boots the desired kernel without having to press any keys. It might be possible to set the BIOS on your dedicated server to stop on "no errors."
If your are running Linux the kernel you will need to ensure the correct kernel is booted without intervention. This is usually determined by the configuration on /etc/grub.conf if the GRUB boot loader is used, or /etc/lilo.conf if the LILO boot loader is used. After any changes have been made to the LILO configuration remember to run "/sbin/lilo -v" and ensure there are no errors.
Also make sure the kernel "works" properly with the hardware. This is especially true if have compiled the kernel yourself or are using specialist hardware.
Make sure the server "Auto Powers" on
