A Very basic tip- but super important: How to see who owns a Domain Name
This may be a very basic tip, but its also extremely important.
Many people ask me how do I get more information on a Domain Name.
Basically---that info is called a "WhoIs" on the domain.
I like to use this service best: http://www.network-tools.com/
Just enter the domain name there and it will display a lot more detail for you.

The main difference between Shared and Dedicated web hosting using MySql/Database driven web sites.
The main difference between Shared and Dedicated web hosting using MySql/Database driven web sites.
Anytime you opt for Shared web hosting, your main limitation will be the mysql process limit set by the Hosting company. Most big hosting companies limit the concurrent mysql processes to anywhere between 20 and 30 processes per cpanel.
When you hit this process max, your Website may not work or may return errors.
If you have a Dedicated Server or a VPS type server, in most cases you never have these limits. If you have a lot of concurrent mysql processes, your site may slow down but you normally do not get the error messages that usually come back from Shared hosting.
Wordpress has become extremely popular over the last few years and many people are using it as their main design platform. Wordpress uses mysql databases for all the content, plugins and themes.
Having just 1 or 2 blogs on your web hosting account... using a few plugins each...and receiving a hundreds of hits per month may cause problems.
If the traffic is very spread out, the error is a lot less likely to occur, but if all your traffic comes at one time during the day---it will be highly likely you get the error.
Just some tips and ideas to think of...
Sincerely,
Your Web Host Guy.

Do you use Wordpress alot . . .?
WordPress developer and all-around web geek Joost de Valk has just graced the Internet with a highly useful infographic.
For a medium that leans toward the amusing, infographics can occasionally be enlightening or even helpful for later reference. This one serves as a sort of “cheat sheet for how your blog works” and takes the reader through the basics of a normal WordPress theme.
It’s a posts-to-plugins look at the anatomy of a typical WordPress theme. Have a look, and let us know what you think in the comments.

Shared hosting plans---What to know about MySQL Processes and WordPress
Shared hosting plans---What to know about MySQL Processes and WordPress
WordPress is very intensive on using MySql for all its database needs. Most Web hosting companies put a limit on your MySql process usage. When you hit that limit or processes get 'stuck' - You may see a 403 or 500 error on your Web page.
Sometimes certain WordPress plugins will get 'locked up' in the MySql process usage and cause problems.
In most cases, disabling this plugin or removing this plugin completely will help.
How do you know which plugin is causing the problem?
Well - that's the number one question.
My suggestion is to search Google for: your plugin + problem or + mysql usage
Good Luck and this has just been a quick tip for you!
