Shared hosting involves providing space for web sites on the hoster’s server while sharing the server with other customers’ servers. All web sites use similar software and operating system. Unlike free web hosting which has the same conditions; shared web hosting has much more benefits to the users. Pricing differs from plan to plan. Prices normally range from $1/month to several hundred dollars per month depending on the resources you are buying. Nevertheless, a Netfirms coupon can lower the price up to 50%. Here are the basic plans webhosting companies usually offer:
Shared web hosting comes in two forms:
Free shared hosting
It is the best option when trying new ideas since you don’t pay for hosting. This kind of webhosting is giving users everything they need for a fast website. Obviously, it is not perfect. Disk and bandwidth space is limited. The nature of this kind of web hosting does not provide you with PHP and MySQL support. Generally, web statistics is also poorly provided.
Paid shared hosting
Paid shared hosting provides you with necessary features such as multiply e-mail, PHP and MySQL. It would be great for small businesses websites up to medium ones. Using this kind of shared hosting you have an advantage of hosting your Netfirms coupon on a powerful and well administered server at low monthly cost.

B1: Privacy in Peril
Industry experts predict that privacy will be the leading legal and regulatory issue facing Internet infrastrcture providers in 2008. Companies need look no further than record breaking payments from companies who have inadvertently disclosed customer data to see the threat to their bottom line. This series of events, combined with legsilative activity in states as diverse as California and Utah, and recent FCC rulemakings make privacy, and your privacy obligations the most important legal issue facing companies today. This seminar will be led by two of the Internet industry's legal experts David Snead and Kris Twomey who each focus on different areas of the law. Participants will hear real world "war stories" in which the attorney's clients learned how to comply with and handle regulatory and contractual privacy obligations. This seminar focuses on the FCC's rules on customer proprietary network information; privacy implications of subpoenas; whether, and how, to disclose e-mail, including e-mail stored in back up; and how to deal with demands for information from third parties who are suing each other. Attendees can expect to take away "buzz words" that will help them minimize the impact of requests for data, and real world knowledge that will facilitate compliance with FCC regulations.

This session covers the basics of voice and data solutions for small business, including hosted versus non-hosted voice, and how to select the right solution for your business.

V2: Pipe Profitability
Business intensive applications such as interactive video conferencing, e-learning initiatives and employee collaboration across facilities are a reality for today’s enterprises. These applications demand big bandwidth and their users require reliable and redundant broadband access at price points fit for them. Wireless broadband access meets these customer needs and due to the nature of the technology provides a profitable business opportunity for wireless providers. During this session attendees will learn: about customer pain points that are driving wireless broadband demand; how wireless broadband is a viable option to land-based deployments; and how these elements turn profits for wireless broadband providers.
The FCC's rules for operators in 5.2Ghz-5.4Ghz include a requirement for equipment to support Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS). This requirement has significant implications for fixed wireless operators. To utilize this spectrum effectively operators must understand these implications and how to mitigate them. This talk will cover these implications and provide experienced tips and how to handle them.
H3: Transitioning Apps to SaaS Using the Application Packaging Standard
For use (at no charge) by both hosting providers and independent software vendors, the Application Packaging Standard (APS) introduces a "pluggable" approach to distributing SaaS applications. By implementing APS, hosting service providers can gain access to a great variety of APS applications. In turn, application vendors that implement APS can get access to a vast sales and marketing channel of APS-enabled hosting providers. Once packaged in the APS format by a software vendor, an application can be easily "plugged" into an infrastructure of any hosting provider that has implemented the standard "socket" for the APS application.

VS2: Building the National WiMAX Network - Room 11
presented by:
WISPs today have both their greatest opportunity and the greatest challenges. WiMAX standards and new spectrum give us reach, capacity, QoS and mobility with good visibility in the press, but the massive capital expenditures and time to market that this is demanding are straining the budgets of even credit worthy operators. Following the example of the Cable, Dial-up and Cellular industries we need to roll-up scale and raise real money. Learn one operator�s trials, tribulations and successes in the quest for cash, and how this lead to the development of a national network strategy called Aircore. �
More important find out how your operation can take advantage of this approach as either a roll-up opportunity or as a an independent marketing affiliate. The Aircore Network will tie together a Network Access Point, massive fiber assets, and three of the best data centers in the world, including a 1.6 million square foot underground bunker. This core network will then be overlaid with advanced ASP services and a full featured VoIP telephony network. Find out what scale means to your future and help us prove that small operators can get the job done.
