Free Web Hosting
Free hosting is the most basic type of web hosting. Free hosting is generally supported by advertisements, and only offers limited features. This is the best type of hosting for those that are starting out and only need hosting for a small personal site that will require little bandwidth.

Free web hosts will normally give you a directory for use (www.xyz.com/~yoursite) or a subdomain (yoursite.xyz.com). They only provide a small amount of space and bandwidth, and also tend to not offer any support for server side scripting such as PHP, or MySQL databases. Generally free web hosting is limited when it comes to email services as as site statistics.

Shared Web Hosting
Shared hosting is the most popular type of hosting. In almost all cases small businesses, with small to large web sites find that shared hosting fits their requirements perfectly. Small businesses generally don’t need all the resources that a dedicated server can provide, not to mention the costs associated with purchasing a dedicated server

Shared hosting as the name suggests allows web hosting providers to have more than a single account on a server. Shared hosting providers also provide close system administration which is excellent for users that don’t have the time to deal with the hassles of running a server along with a number of other users.

While it depends on the specifics of the hosting plan chosen, most server features will be avaialable to the user such as PHP, MySQL, ASP, multiple email addresses, multiple domains or sub domains, and more storage and bandwidth than a free host will provide.

Unmanaged Dedicated Hosting
Unmanaged dedicated hosting is a good option for those that are looking for more bandwidth, storage or other features that shared hosting doesn’t provide. Having dedicated hosting means that you have access to virtually unlimited databases and email addresses that the user can create, as well as access to larger bandwidth capacity. Also with dedicated hosting, you can normally purchase upgrades for your server, such as a new hard drive to gain extra storage, or more system memory to improve server performance.

There is one drawback to unmanaged dedicated hosting, you must be your own server administrator. If you do not have the skills to manage your won server, you have two options, learn how to manage a dedicated server, or go with Managed Dedicated Hosting.

Managed Dedicated Hosting
If you require the vast resources of a dedicated server but do not want to deal with the day to day operation of an unmanaged dedicated server, then a Managed Dedicated Server should fit your requirements. Going with a managed dedicated server means you will have the avaialability of technical support to help you set up your server, and you will also have ongoing technical support assistance if a problem with the server should ever arise.

Pricing of managed dedicated servers vary according to how much support you will require, and also how much reliability you require.

My every social networking activity is automatic. I don’t have to post everywhere whenever I publish new post. Because I have submitted my RSS Feed to all services that I use.
Lets take Facebook fan page as an example. Facebook fan page is integrated with blog, so when I publish new post Facebook imports it and publish it on your wall. 
Like that, you can use your RSS Feed to post tweets.

Twitterfeed.com is probably the most well-known and used feed apps for sending site information (mostly blogs) to Twitter. A lot of people use it, including CNN, the Wall Street Journal, the White House, and myself.

All you have to do is Sign up @ Twitterfeed.com and give your RSS Feed url. They will automatically post tweets whenever you post new topics. Just check it out!

Free themes are designed to be as easy to install as possible. You simply upload your theme, activate it, and you’re done. It knows your blog’s name, description, feed URL and everything else. In order to know all of this, the theme uses PHP tags to get the information. However, it has to use these tags every time a page is loaded.

As most of the information never changes, you can delete these tags from your theme, and replace them with normal text. That way, your server has less to process next time around.

13 Common Tags in WordPress Themes

The easiest way to replace the tags is to load up a page from your blog, then “View Source.” If you are using Firefox then press ‘Ctrl + U’ and for Internet Explorer, click on ‘View – Source’. Now go through your theme and look for the following tags, then find what each tag corresponds to in your page source. Paste the text from the page source over the theme tags.

Save the files after every change and check that the new version of the page is identical to the old.

1. <?php language_attributes(); ?> found in header.php.
2. <?php bloginfo(‘html_type’); ?> found in header.php.
3. <?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?> found in header.php.
4. <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> found throughout the theme.
5. <meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress <?php bloginfo(‘version’); ?>” /> <!– leave this for stats –> found in header.php. If you’re using a 3rd party stats program (like Google Analytics) then you’ve nothing to worry about, and if your version of WordPress is out of date, you won’t want hackers knowing that.
6. <?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?> found in header.php.
7. <?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?> founder in header.php, sidebar.php and footer.php. Be careful if you switch to FeedBurner after doing this. Make sure you remember to update the feed URL here manually (The FeedSmith plugin won’t do it anymore).
8. <?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?> found in header.php.
9. <?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?> found throughout the theme.
10. <?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?> found throughout the theme. Your site’s slogan.
11. <?php bloginfo(‘comments_rss2_url’); ?> found in sidebar.php and footer.php.
12. <!– <?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries. <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds. –> found in footer.php. This HTML comment won’t be overly useful to many of us, so delete away!
13. If you are using widgets, you can also delete the code in sidebar.php between the lines<?php /* Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed. */
    if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
    and
    <?php endif; ?>
    Content between these 2 lines is only used if widgets are not enabled. If you know that you will continue to use widgets, then there is no need for any code here (It may be worth leaving a comment along the lines of “Content here used if widgets are disabled” to remind yourself of this in the future).

By removing these, you’ll shave the load of your server and pages will be constructed that bit faster.
