What is web hosting?

Website hosting is an internet service that provides a secure place to store your website files online, so that other people can search for and find your site. Website hosting comes in several flavors, including Virtual Private Servers (also called VPS hosting), Content Distribution Networks (also called CDN), Shared Hosting, Dedicated Hosting, and much more.

Lets say that you want to build a website for your new small business to promote your products and/or services to potential customers. One of the first things youll need is a web host, like Media Temple, to host your new website once its built. Think of it like building a new house. First, you need to buy land, even before building the foundation. Web hosting is like the land your website will be built on.

Or maybe youre an artist or professional who wants to create an online portfolio to showcase examples of your work. The type of hosting that you get for a portfolio may be very different from what youd need for an e-commerce or small business website. Thats because the volume of traffic and resources needed for an e-commerce website is usually much higher than for a portfolio site.

Whether youre a seasoned blogger, brand new small business, budding artist, or even an e-commerce mogul, Media Temple has the best web hosting solution for you. But before you choose a hosting plan, here are a few questions to help narrow down your search for the right plan.

1. How many people are likely to visit your website? If youre creating a portfolio, designed for a select audience, then a dedicated server might be overkill for you. Instead, you could save a lot of money by buying a shared hosting server. For low- to medium-trafficked sites, shared web hosting can be just as fast and secure as dedicated alternatives.

2. Will your site need databases or secured areas? Understanding as many of the technical details of your website as possible before selecting a hosting plan will help you get the right plan from day one. Of course, at Media Temple we realize that, although while were web engineers, you might not be. Thats why we keep a squad of full-time professionals on staff. Theyd all be happy to look at your site, talk about your needs, and help you choose a hosting plan thats a perfect fit.

3. Want apps? Web apps like WordPress, Drupal, and Zen Cart can really help speed up your sites development process. They offer pre-fabricated, out-of-the-box solutions for common problems that webmasters face. Knowing if apps like these will be useful for your website will also help you find the right hosting plan. At Media Temple, we offer a full range of 1-click apps, including those mentioned above and a whole lot more. Check out the apps that we offer, and make sure they will work for you before choosing your hosting service.

Scalable hosting is essential for growing businesses. Traffic slowly trickles in to new websites, but as they age and gain popularity across the web, their web traffic begins to grow. Sometimes this growth can happen at an astounding rate. But traffic costs bandwidth, and most hosting plans only come with a set amount of bandwidth. Media Temple believes that even fixed bandwidth hosting plans should be scalable. Thats why we created the worlds first scalable, shared hosting solution called the Grid.

Youve made your plans. You know what you want. Now, let us help you make it happen. Explore our full range of web hosting plans, or call us today and well set you up with the perfect plan for your website.

X1 Combo HD Packs dikemas dalam sebuah STB (Set-Top-Box) yang disebut Smart Box dan layanan over-the-top yang disebut First Media Go (FM Go). Penggunaan peranti ini bisa menikmati channel TV favorit, konten video on demand (VOD), dan catch-Up TV, serta personal video recorder (PVR).

Ia juga menambahkan bahwa 50% populasi masyarakat kita berusia dibawah 35 tahun dan rata-rata menonton TV sekitar 4 jam tiap harinya sehingga hal ini dipandang sebagai sebuah peluang untuk melebur pengalaman ber-Internet dan TV dalam sebuah perangkat hiburan diruang keluarga.

Untuk mempermudah interaksi multimedia di SMart TV, paket penjualan X1 juga dilengkapi dengan remote control yang memiliki keyboard, tack pad, dan juga microphone untuk melakukan perintah pencarian melalui suara dengan memanfaatkan sistem Android. Anggota keluarga lainnya juga bisa menginstall aplikasi FM Go di platform Android dan iOS untuk bisa menikmati layanan First Media melalui smartphone atau tablet sehingga tak perlu berebut remote.

Saat ini sendiri First Media memiliki homepass (jumlah rumah yang berada dalam area layanan First Media) sekitar 1,5 juta dengan jumlah pelanggan baru sekitar 600.000 rumah. Di akhir 2015 nanti First Media mentargetkan sekitar 1 juta pelanggan baru. Untuk mencapai targetnya, tahun 2015 ini First Media mennyiapkan investasi sebesar Rp 1,5 triliun untuk alokasi belanja modal untuk membeli teknologi baru dan konten.

Lower Cost Addition to VIEW Pro Family of Encoders and Decoders Broadens the Company's Line of Professional Media Streaming Solutions

SALT LAKE CITY -- ClearOne (NASDAQ: CLRO), will soon be shipping its new value-priced VIEW Pro D210 decoder that enables high-quality, low-latency media streaming over existing IP networks.

This cost-efficient network device from ClearOne is the ideal solution for less-demanding deployments such as digital signage applications where common content is repeated over multiple displays and may not need professional-level audio amplification, or third-party equipment control. Such applications include displays at airports and transportation hubs, hotels, casinos, and shopping malls.

"By pushing our technology to the edge of the network, the VIEW Pro media streaming solution eliminates the need for costly hardware switching and the limitations of cabling," said Michael Braithwaite, ClearOne's Sr. Vice President of the Multimedia Streaming Business. "Streaming media over TCP/IP provides significant improvements in flexibility, scalability, price, and performance over traditional AV streaming and distribution methods."

The newest addition to the ClearOne line of professional streaming components, the economical D210 decoder, incorporates some of the same performance features as the larger VIEW Pro D110 decoder including 1080p60, H.264 high-definition HDMI video-audio, and 4:4:4 true-color output - the platinum standard for color. It is an attractive compact device that can be easily mounted behind any display.

Complementing the VIEW Pro System, VIEW Virtual Matrix Software displays a simple view of the entire networked media system on a single screen, and provides simple source and destination selection and control options in Windows, Android, and iOS for StreamNet encoders and decoders. Users have control access from any number of input devices, including wall touch-screens, desktops, laptops, and handheld devices.

Henderson city employees could be fired for talking to a news reporter under a new and highly unusual policy.

Media and civil-liberties advocates criticized the clause as an effort to control the news and intimidate employees.

The policy makes Henderson unique in Clark County, where no other city nor the county itself threaten to fire employees for speaking.

City Manager Jacob Snow, who approved Hendersons media contact and response policy in September, said he did not recall the firing clause.

But Snow said he was not surprised or concerned by the language and wants all media questions referred to official spokesmen.

Snow said the city has not fired or disciplined anyone for talking to a reporter and added he would be surprised if anyone were fired. He said only very irresponsible comments, such as releasing confidential information, would warrant firing.

But even if the city never carries out the threat, advocates said, its likely to make employees afraid to talk about routine matters or to blow the whistle on improper actions inside government.

Its not just a threat to employees, said Barry Smith, executive director of the Nevada Press Association. Its really a threat to the media as well: Hey, dont talk to our employees, because if their name shows up in your story, were going to take it out on them.

That hurts not just the media but residents who rely on journalists to be their eyes and ears, Smith said.

Tod Story, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada, said employees should be protected from retribution so long as the information they share is true.
