Can’t Host That – Podcast 216
Posted by: | Comments
Believe it or not, there are files you probably should not upload to the server you host your website from. Not only could you get in trouble with your web host by doing so, but you could also be putting your own security at risk. On today’s podcast we will go over some of the files you should not host and my favorite way to back up personal files remotely and securely. The Web Hosting Show is on the air.

There are a lot of unsaid rules that you must learn when it comes to mastering the world of web hosting. Knowing what files you should or should not host is one of them. While it might sound like common sense to some – sometimes it is the things that go unsaid that get you in trouble, so let me save us all a lot of trouble and let you in on this.
Here is what we have in store for you on today’s show:
Having a web hosting account is handy at times. It allows you to practically upload anything you want to share with friends, or to store online. This is a blessing and also a curse when it comes to the web hosting business though. While it is handy to be able to upload anything to a web hosting account, it is not always practical. Sometimes, it might even be against the rules.
Better Off Site Backups with Carbonite
I have been a big fan off keeping files backup off site for a while now and the best tool I have found to get that job done is Carbonite. Out of all the other solutions, Carbonite does the best job at making backing up automated so I don’t have to worry about it. For the webmasters out there, it is also a great way to store your website backups too.
Hope you enjoyed this edition of the Web Hosting Show podcast. Feel free to share your own thoughts about hosting in the comments. I would love to see them!

There are hundreds if not thousands of great ways to showcase your artwork, your photography or any other type of images you have created and share them with the world. I have done my best to check them all out – so you can finally know which ones are the best of the best.
Here is what we have in store for you on today’s show:
There are thousands of free image host out there, but not many that focus on providing you a cheap or free place to host an online gallery for your photography, images or artwork. If you do not want to upload a script and run it from day to day, you might try one of these three free image gallery hosting services to get your own portfolio hosted online.
3 Free Photo Gallery Tools for Any Occasion
It might be easy to find a free photo gallery script you can get up and running on your website. However, not all scripts are created equal. Sometimes you might want a simple page dedicated to photos, and other times you might need an entire domain dedicated to the idea of showcasing your images. I have searched the Web high and low to bring you the best free image gallery tools for big projects, medium sized projects and lightweight projects.
Also, I would love to hear your experiences with the best gallery hosting services online or the best album scripts on the web. If you have any other great resources worth sharing, be sure to leave a comment and share it with the rest of us.

Tune in to the cPanel Podcast
Posted by: | Comments
Now, you might think that cPanel isn’t something you really need to follow. If you think that, you’d be wrong. The people at cPanel have taken great leaps and bounds when it comes to adding a lot of informational and fun features to their website. My favorite update to the cPanel website thus far is the new podcast they added, hosted by cPanel’s technical writer Lindsey White.
The show’s main premise is to provide practical instruction for improving your website. The topics they have covered thus far include:
- How to Install WordPress using cPanel
- How SSL Certificates Make Websites More Secure
So this brings us to our highlight today, check out the latest cPanel podcast here, where you can learn more about the cPanel Automation Bootcamp conference.
The web hosting industry needs more voices and personalities, and I have to say that across these three shows I have really enjoyed Lindsey White’s work.
Take a few minutes to check that out, and be sure to stay tuned for more great cPanel podcasts on podcasts.cpanel.net. If you have any feedback for them, feel free to leave it in the comments here and I am sure they would enjoy to hear what you have to say about their show.
