2010 is not a year of success for me. Kind of disappointed with my earning for 2010 as compared to 2009. I might back to “the root” like those days when I earn $2k to $3k with Google Adsense. After my blogspot blog has been blocked by Blogger team for some unacceptable reasons (Clickbank ads, scrapper blog (for Blogspot blog I wrote each-and-every blog posts in there)) and I still unable to get back my blog after countless appeals. It is almost a year now. Time is tough, my sister going to wed next year and I have to contribute something for her wedding and I only eating instant noodle on almost daily basis. I will struggle to become among the top in this online business. Below is earning report for September 2010:

OneNetworkDirect has a fixed date for payment. In OneNetworkDirect there is a 60 days hold on commissions before they become eligible for payout. Meanings that if commission accrued during a particular month, for example September 2010 then you will get paid on November 2010. Some people might find this a slow payment process but through my own experience with this affiliate network they pay but not as fast as other money making program like Google Adsense.

One of the big reasons for colocation hosting is to take advantage of the many advanced security measures the third-party service providers offer. Because they collect a sizeable pool of income from their clients, colocation providers have invested top-of-the-line security hardware and technology for their system such as physical protection of the servers and other equipments, safety of data and applications, and their protection from natural disasters like floods, fires, power failures and the like.

In choosing your colocation provider, you can take a look at these protection measures in these following areas for comparison purposes.

Redundant power sources

Nowadays, accidents and other devastations regarding power and power sources are unpredictable and can wreak havoc in a data center. Utility companies used to be dependable, but today’s demand for power has grown so much faster than anybody can anticipate.

Today’s colocation service providers have already incorporated the installation of backup generators that run longer. One generator is no longer viable given the unpredictability of public power sources.

What is more, they also have redundant generators that back up the primary units. Multiple power source alternatives are already today’s industry standards.

Physical access colocation security

Another critical area that colocation providers offer their clients is on-site security. Actively monitoring and controlling access to the building is a critical factor.

Aside from the must-have physical security measures, colocation providers now include biometric access systems. These systems generally include fingerprint and retina scanning for verification of people’s identities.

So far, these modern sets of apparatus have been far more effective than the now-outdated key cards. (They were notorious for being easily stolen and duplicated.)

Other colocation providers have installed motion-activated surveillance cameras that can monitor activities outside and inside the facilities’ premises. These cameras have been versatile enough to cover even the grounds surrounding the buildings.

Network access security

Normally, colocation clients are responsible in ensuring that their server hardware is protected with security software. On the other hand, colocation providers must also protect their clients from threats triggered by outside agents as well as from within the network itself.

One example is the now-debarred practice of one client cross-connecting their servers with the other tenants. The main reason is simple reduction of costs.

However, it also introduced a tremendous risk in the sense that if one client is compromised, the attacker is able to access the system of the other clients who had cross-connected for cost savings.

Many colocation providers have now forbidden this practice and had taken severe measures to make sure cross-connecting is not feasible or will not happen in their facilities.

Risk sharing

In colocation setups nowadays, both the provider and their customers are expected to share the ongoing common concern for security.

Compromising security is the greatest threat within this partnership. After all, it shall mean a total loss for the customer (sensitive data) and the colocation partner (confidence) where nobody wins.

Colocation backup and storage are two of the most important factors in the search and selection of a colocation facility. Mission-critical information that cannot be compromised needs to be stored and backed up in a very secure environment, whether it is in your own servers or in a colocation facility.

With the number of choices in the market, it can be a tough decision considering that it can be difficult accessing your storage and backup needs. Fortunately, these systems can be integrated with one another and can still work seamlessly.

To ensure you make the most suitable choice, it is best to first determine your system’s storage needs. Determining the solutions (and combination of solutions) that meet your requirements would come easier, especially in a colocation setup.

Fortunately again, there are three basic types of storage and backup solutions for your servers – DAS (direct access storage), NAS (network attached storage) and SAN (storage area network). Knowing them and what they can do by themselves and in tandem can help in making your decision.

Most of today’s businesses use DAS in the storage and backup system of their data. For comparison, DAS is basically similar to most external hard drives of personal computers where they can be attached at will.

This is one storage system that is best for smaller businesses which do not have demanding storage needs. The major downside, however, is that your system is slowed down while storing files and running your applications all at the same time.

This is simply caused by the fact that DAS solutions are limited in capacity and is not really that appropriate for large-scale storage needs. If your business is booming, it may serve as a temporary solution, not a permanent one.

NAS works by having additional capacity on your server while keeping it separate from your running applications. It is perfect for businesses that use networked computing.

The big selling point for NAS is enhanced productivity and cost efficiency. With NAS in place, your server can be managed centrally without affecting the other networked servers that run your applications.

Among the three, SAN is the more advanced data storage and backup system. It is best for larger businesses that require a system’s ability to transfer multiple files in more stable fiber connections.

However efficient it is (and becoming more popular), SAN is one solution that is relatively new. Moreover, it lacks the compatibility needed to make it more appealing to more customers.

As it is, SAN is greatly more complex and expensive compared to both DAS and NAS. Today, only the big companies who can afford it are using SAN as their main storage and backup system. The biggest reason is its ability to handle the high volume of traffic that is becoming the norm of the internet business at present.

Ultimately, the choice of your company’s storage and backup system depends largely on the size of your present needs and costs. In a colocation facility, your company’s continuing expansion can be supported with the right storage and backup system.

Web hosting businesses (which may include yours) usually start small. However, as you grow, investments in hardware and others also grow by leaps and bounds. As online business trends go, colocation becomes a viable alternative.

Outsourcing one’s entire operations to an offsite data facility of another company takes one hard punch of decision-making. Of course, this kind of decision should not be done without the usual preparatory probes and questions.

Costs

As in everything else, the first consideration in any business transaction is costs or the prices of the services or goods. Nobody wants to overpay but the old adage of “you get what you pay for” still holds true.

In effect, your search in terms of costs should focus on quality instead of the “advantage” of a cheap price. The low investment outlay might be countered in poor service or some such aspects. It could result in expensive (from your company’s standpoint) downtimes cause by poor facilities or services from your colocation partner.

Support

With web hosting, support availability is critical in a colocation setup. This is one very important aspect in your choice of a colocation partner.

Most colocation companies offer support 24 hours a day everyday by way of phone and emails. Others offer help in live chat sessions and support tickets. However, there is a need for a fast turn-around time because problems can happen just as fast in trying to connect or set up the server.

Redundancy

In a business that deals with very critical data and information exchange, it is essential that the facilities must be redundant. This means that power, connectivity and cooling systems must have backups and extra sets for use during emergency situations.

The colocation facility must have power backups in case of power failure (extra generators and UPS units). It must have extra connectivity systems in case of hardware crashes. Ventilation and cooling systems must be backed up by another working system to take place in case of emergencies.

Guarantees

Is there some kind of a money back guarantee with your colocation provider? Because of competition, some companies offer several perks and other deal-sweeteners.

At the very least, there are those who offer a 30-day money back guarantee to prove their confidence in their product. This might lessen some of your frustrations once you are dissatisfied with their service and decide to change hosts.

Waiting time

The old saw “time is money” still holds true with colocation and more so because yours is in the web hosting business. Avoid any colocation host that requires you to wait for more than a week to get your server running.

If a company takes an inordinate time to get your company connected online, this same kind of service might be duplicated in those critical times when you need their support.

Your choice

There are factors to consider in deciding to go into colocation hosting, and these are all specific to your present situation. If your finances are limited, a dedicated server will do for the moment.

If you are sure of colocation hosting is best for your company, make sure you evaluate your prospective colocation providers as thoroughly as you can. The life of your company depends on it.
