Thinking of Moving to a New Server

server-image Thinking of Moving to a New ServerThis blog is getting more and more traffic day by day and also you will see a big jump in traffic ranking on alexa. This is all because of natural search engine rankings and lot of promotion I am doing. Also one of our story hit the front page of digg and the blog has to go down for 1 day. So to fight against this traffic roar, I am thinking of moving to a new web hosting.

I am confused on which is the best web hosting company that will be good for my blog, provides good customer support and also cost effective ? I read various webhost reviews on lot of hosting review sites including webhostingpad website hosting reviews and bluehost website hosting review.  Some says go with Hostgator when I created a thread on DP.

Cooking Games For You & Your Child Today!

You will find lots of cooking games for kids on the internet or gaming consoles today but are they even near to the real thing? Does it really matter if it’s still pleasurable for your child? Not much. But more important thing is they learn from such interactive games.

top-that-deux Cooking Games For You & Your Child Today!A child likes to copy adults’ everyday tasks such as driving a bike, mowing the lawn and you have to bet cooking is one of them too! Though we might not find those tasks pleasurable for us, but the story is different in case of a child who is doing them for the first time. And of course parents don’t typically permit their kid to do the original thing for obvious reasons but rather use replacements like toys to imitate these activities for him or her. Put your child in front of the computer and watch him or her transform into a little chef through online cooking games.

There is a variety of cooking games available on the Net which are often free to play. And most of such flash games don’t require any specific softwares - they just can be played directly on your internet browser. Interaction comes in form of using the mouse, keyboard or a mixture of both. For an un-interrupted playing experience, a broadband internet connection is recommended.

A particular cooking game that caught my interest is about making breakfast- the most critical meal of the day. In this game, the player must beat some eggs by dragging the egg beater with the mouse in a circular motion. He or she then proceeds to create an omelet out of it on the frying pan. This is one good of what a kid could learn- “Oh this is how mummy makes omelet!” Another kind of cooking game worth mentioning inherits the essentials of running a eatery. Players have to cook and serve the dishes to their customers in a timely manner and also meet a predetermined quota for the day.

Playing cooking games help prepare a child take on the real thing when he or she gets older. He or she could even help you out in the kitchen. Some kids find it amusing to cook a meal for themselves and ultimately would be more enthusiastic to finish up their food. Physiologically, it’s the feeling of satisfaction that they are looking for. This method is great for parents who have kids that are very selective with their food or have poor appetite.

Most often, these cooking games are not in English but either in Japanese or Korean- Only God knows why these people make very interesting games. But such games don’t really matter what language they have.

Make this an enjoyable experience for you and your child today.

Types of Game servers

A web hosting or a server is require to host your website on internet so that people can log on to your site 24 hours a day and when you are at sleep. For hosting a site, you can buy your own server and keep it on 24 hours. OR you can hire web hosting provider’s services.

There are various types of hosting available. The type you choose depends on your site needs - what type of site, how much traffic, hosting space required etc. To host a simple site or blog, you can choose from either a shared hosting or dedicated hosting plans. A shared hosting will have an ip address same as other hosted sites, while a dedicated hosting is like having an online virtual private server.

But such hostings are not useful for multiplayer game sites which require lot of web space, lot of bandwidth, VoIP to chat, high speed and more. So for such MMORPG gaming sites, you will require a game server to host your site. e.g. world of warcraft, counter-strike etc. Such sites can have, at an instance, around thousands of players connected to the game servers to experience a troublefree uninterruped online gaming.

There are various types of game servers too - commonly classified into 2 types - Listen game servers and Dedicated game servers. They can also be classed into windows based and linux based depending on the operating system of the server.

Listen servers - mostly used by individual players as the game site is hosted locally on listen servers - e.g. LAN and so not useful for multi-player gaming needs

Dedicated game Servers - they are fast and provide huge bandwidth for each game clients. The price depends on various features like bandwidth, number of game slots, VoIP based, TC admin panel etc.

So decide your hosting cleverly. ;)
