INTERNET SOURCING

What is sourcing?
Sourcing is a talent management discipline which is
focused on the identification, assessment and
engagement of skilled worked candidate through
proactive recruiting techniques.

TYPES OF SOURCING:

Basically the term sourcing is classified as:

1. Primary sourcing/phone sourcing

In recruiting and sourcing, this means the leveraging of


techniques (primarily the phone) to identify candidates
with limited to no presence of these individuals in any
easily accessible public forum (the Internet, published
list, etc.). It requires the uncovering of candidate
information via a primary means of calling directly into
organizations to uncover data on people, their role, title
and responsibilities.The term "phone sourcers" or "phone
name generator" or "telephone names sourcer" generally
applies to the utilization of primary sourcing techniques

2. Secondary sourcing (internet sourcing)

In recruiting and sourcing, this means using of


techniques such as primarily Internet to identify
candidates. Individuals in the recruiting industry that
have deep expertise in uncovering talent are the harder
to reach places on the internet (forums, blogs, alumni
groups, conference attendee lists, personal home pages,
social networks etc.). With the boom of social networks
and the more people sharing information about
themselves on the internet the amount of data has
become unmanageable. Many time sources turn to
application to help them data mine this information.

What is Internet Sourcing?

Internet sourcing is not new but the rise in importance,


popularity and its creativity surrounding social media has
brought about a renewed importance in role of internet
sourcing to company’s recruiting. While still in new
development, recruiting technologies
and algorithms exist that monitor changes and updates
to the social profiles of candidates and connections your
company is looking to recruit, engage and develop
relationships with. Sources can use these tools and their
own techniques to find those hidden gems through
search techniques and strategies on the internet.

Internet research is a highly specialized field that takes


time to master. Many of the best sourcers started out as
recruiters who found they enjoy the “thrill of the hunt”
more than the rest of the process and became successful
because of their heightened research skills and abilities.
Another common origin for strong sourcers is from
professions where research or investigative skills are an
imperative (journalists, librarians, fact-checkers,
academic researchers, etc.), which is a common skillset
within the field of competitive intelligence.
Several recruiters can rely on the same sourcer to
generate leads and fill their pipelines with pre-screened
or pre-qualified candidates. Sourcers are often the initial
point of contact with a candidate, qualifying whether they
are a real job seeker or just a job shopper. As a result,
sourcers are uniquely positioned to sell or “pre-close”
candidates before the candidates enter the rest of the
recruitment process.
Prior to social media and the popularity of LinkedIn,
sourcers used online directories and search tools called
Boolean to find a specific list of keyword and criteria to
locate a hidden pool of very targeted job seekers for job
openings their company was recruiting. With Boolean
search, you to combine words and phrases into search
statements to retrieve documents from searchable
databases. This downside of any type of internet search
including Boolean search prior to the popularity of social
media was that databases and candidate information was
often old and cold. Websites and information weren’t
updated as frequently or on a regular basis within
member databases or other online lists. The creation of a
content management tool called WordPress and social
media has changed all that.

Introducing Strategic Internet Sourcing

Strategic sourcing which is the forth tier of the Hierarchy


of Social Media in Recruiting is for the purposes of driving
long term recruiting results. Using online internet search
techniques for the purposes of just in time recruiting such
as searching for a candidate on LinkedIn is not what we
consider “strategic.” LinkedIn makes this process easy
depending on the type of LinkedIn product your company
uses as part of their recruiting efforts. In highly
competitive industries like programming and engineering
in Silicon Valley, qualified candidates are deleting their
LinkedIn profiles because they are inundated with InMails
for recruiters looking to fill a job using only LinkedIn.

An example of strategic sourcing is building a list of 10-


15 engineer candidates in your target city or industry
with the purposes of building a relationship with them
and recruiting them for the long term.

Internet sourcing techniques


Internet recruiting is slowly but surely catching on in this
part of the world. Time is not far off when we will have to
increasingly employ internet search for finding resumes,
but of course this is besides the traditional method of
sourcing.

What techniques to use and when and under what


circumstances to use will depend on how well you master
each techniques. To achieve optimum success one must
also have a fairly good idea about the recruitment
industry, the specific job requirement, the key words
within the requirement and also differentiate the
"mandatory skills" from "good to have skills."

Some of the most common internet search


techniques are as given below.

X-RAYING:
A method of looking inside a specific web site to find
what's there. Using this technique, recruiters can find
documents and web pages that aren't directly accessible
via links on the main public home page. When you 'x-ray'
a website, you effectively get to examine every document
that resides there so long as they are not behind firewalls
or password protected.
Example: To find any “software engineer” - could be a
document/file or a word/phrase within a document that
resides within the website Oracle.com.
In Altavista search - host:oracle.com AND software
engineer
In Google search - site:www.oracle.com AND software
engineer

FLIPPING:
Flipping is an effective method used to find the
relationships between web pages based on how they are
hyperlinked together. This search is especially useful for
finding people who have links to the company or have
worked for a specific company.
Example: To find any “software engineer” – could be a
document/file or word/phrase that links back to
Oracle.com.

PEELING BACK:
As the name suggest Peeling back is the process of
“retracing the path” of the url especially when one gets
an Error 404 (File not found). This process is engage so
as to locate the information elsewhere on the site or
locate the specific “root” folder where one can find similar
or additional data specific or related to the search.
Example: By peeling back or keying backspace starting
from the point where the url ends we can then access the
people link from the ce.uta.edu homepage and find the
names of all the faculty members.

HARVESTING OR MINING:
Harvesting involves reviewing a document, such as a
resume or home page, and finding key words, links,
references and locations that assist with subsequent
searches.

Google Custom Search:

Google Custom Search can be a very simple tool however


it provides a platform to do really clever things. Customer
Searches are difficult to use but just that they are not
commonly used. This is a pity as it is a really good way to
share clever searches and make complex searching very
easy and very repeatable.

WEB TECHNOLOGIES

Introduction

There are many Web technologies, from simple to


complex, and explaining each in detail is beyond the
scope of this article. However, to help you get started
with developing your own Web sites, beyond simple
WYSIWYG designing of Web pages in FrontPage, this
article provides brief definitions of the major Web
technologies along with links to sites where you can find
more information, tutorials, and reference
documentation.
Web Technology Background

This section provides information about web technologies


that relate to the interface between web servers and their
clients. This information includes markup languages,
programming interfaces and languages, and standards
for document identification and display.

Section Organization

1. Markup Languages Section - Includes all markup


languages including HTML, XML, and SGML.
Documentation in this section currently includes an
HTML Guide, XML Guide, and a Document Type
Definition (DTD) reading reference.
2. CGI Section- Includes four documents describing
implementation of the client to server web interface.
It includes information about the common gateway
interface (CGI), server side includes (SSI),
JavaScript, and writing perl script programs.
3. HTTP Section - Thic section currently includes an
HTTP Reference which is based on RFC 2616. It has
brief descriptions of the HTTP request and response
headers and also lists the possible response headers
such as 404 (not found).
4. PHP - PHP is a scripting language that runs on the
web server and the script code is embedded in the
HTML document. It is easy to use with syntax similar
to C which is why it is so popular. This section
includes a PHP Introduction manual.
5. JAVA Section - Documentation is being generated for
this section. It currently contains some web links.
6. MIME Section - This section describes Multipurpose
Internet Mail Extension along with its purpose and it
also includes a few MIME related web links.
7. Graphics - Gif files used to add graphics to web
pages.
What are the main advantages of teaching-learning
using social web technologies?

 More control on the learning process by the learners


themselves.
 More focus on the learning part, trading with a lesser
weight on the teaching part.
 Increased importance of the learning process, with
decreased (relative) importance of the content in the
syllabus.
 Opening of the formal learning processes towards
scenarios belonging to the scope of non-formal
learning and, especially, of informal learning.
 Dramatic increase of the learning resources (content,
experts, tools) at the learners’ reach.
 Merging (and confusion) of the different areas of life:
learning, professional, personal, leisure.
What are the main disadvantages of teaching-
learning using social web technologies?

 They demand high (or highest) digital competences.


These are a must to make the best of social web
technologies and an important barrier of entrance.
 They require a certain knowledge in identifying one’s
training and educational needs and being able to
formulate them as such.
 They require a certain capacity to design
(autonomous) learning strategies.
 Abundance of resources imply that filtering becomes
necessary and, thus, filtering competences are
important.
 Even with the appropriate filtering competences,
noise and distraction will happen.
 Merging (and confusion) of the different areas of life:
learning, professional, personal, leisure (indeed, this
is a double edged sword).

Applications of web technologies :


Definition:

A web application is much more than just a plain website.


In fact, the most interesting web applications are web
pages that are nearly indistinguishable from their offline
counterparts (from the perspective of the user). Web
applications use the web browser as a way of connecting
to networked tools and systems.

Web applications are stored on web servers, and use


tools like databases, JavaScript (or Ajax or Silverlight),
and PHP (or ASP.Net) to deliver experiences beyond the
standard web page or web form. A well known web
applications is Google Docs. This is a word processor that
is delivered completely inside a web browser.

Following are the patterns of Web Applications


usage:-

1. Google analytics

Google has already started pushing into this market with


Google Analytics, but there are a lot of other startups
exploring this space. If you think about it, there is a ton
of opportunity there, as you have the ability to capture
and transmit interactive user data like never before. You
can track where the mouse floats across the screen, the
orientation of a mobile device, and any number of other
user interactions. Not only could you track them, but you
could actually watch them as they happen.
2. Digital Advertising

The digital advertising world has long been a solid


revenue generator for web-based businesses. With
realtime web technologies, advertisers can move towards
more interesting advertising paradigms, such as charging
for ads based on the amount of time the ad is visible on a
user’s screen or other realtime interaction metrics vs the
CPM and CPC metrics that have long been the standard.

3. E-Commerce

E-commerce has always been a hotbed for engaging


customers and customer interactions. Showing shoppers
what other shoppers are looking at online, or pushing out
online deals directly to all connected browsers are the
types of realtime features that e-commerce platforms will
look to adopt in the future.

E-commerce Templates
Creating a powerful profitable online store is by far the
most important problem for web designers or store
owners. A lot of things should be taken into consideration
with the high quality e-commerce templates, designed
specifically on PHP for PrestaShop, Magento,
osCommerce, VirtueMart, Zen cart, OpenCart, Jigoshop,
Woocommerce, Shopify and other e-commerce engines in
.net platform are NopCommerce, SmartStore,
VirtoCommerce, Kentico etc .
Huge collections of eCommerce designs are there that
meet high standards both in terms of functionality and
attractive professional look. User-friendly navigation,
elaborate layout, easy checkout, site-wide search options
& filters, rich shopping cart design & functionality,
descriptive product pages with the focus on the products.
4. Publishing

Keeping eyeballs on the screen is the primary goal on


any online publisher, and one way to keep visitors on
your site is to keep them engaged. Realtime data can
lead to some very interesting infographics, and it can
also help connect viewers like never before. A great
example is some of the realtime comments like Disqus.

5. Massively Multiplayer Online Games

Those big MMO games are making there way on to the


web, and they will surely find a friend in realtime web
technologies. Many multiplayer games depend on low
latency communications between individual gamers, and
for this technologies like WebSockets are ideal.
6. Backend Services and Messaging

Our backend systems have grown in scale and complexity


over the last decade, and it is becoming increasingly
important to propagate messages across very large
systems effectively and efficiently.

7. Project Management & Collaboration

Google docs and other platforms have already


demonstrated the value (and potential complexity) in
implementing realtime collaborative environments on the
Web. The new era of realtime web technologies will
hopefully make the development of these types of
applications simpler and easier to build. Which is great
because most web applications are not built in a vacuum,
so having the ability to connect all those users together
in constructive and insightful ways should be able to add
value their workflows.

8. Realtime Monitoring Services

The bi-directional communication channel is great for


remote devices or servers to stay connected to a central
monitoring service. This gives techs and admins the
ability to watch what their endpoints are doing in
realtime without logging into the machine, and also gives
the ability to send realtime alerts.

9.Live Charting and Graphing

Charts and graphs have always been a great way to


visualize data. Now you can have those graphs and
charts connected to realtime data flows. The possibilities
are literally endless, from displaying temperature data
measured from a connected home device to streaming
stock prices to realtime chart.

10. Group and Private Chat

Chat has long been the de-facto example for realtime


since by it’s very nature it requires realtime bi-directional
communication. Chat is a great use for realtime web
technologies, and variations on group chats and private
chats could lead to more innovation in this area over the
coming years.

Web Application Planning


E-Business Discovery and Planning
This phase is an important part of the process. Most
people start their Web Application Project with a general
idea, but they do not have a clear direction outlined and
do not dedicate much or any effort to the important
business marketing and project specification detail and
discovery.
Since this area of the project requires a different type of
specialty and experience following five areas of discovery
are most important in planning:

 E-business Direction and Goal Discovery


 Branding and Marketing Discovery
 E-business Method and Process Specification Discovery
 Functional Specification Discovery
 Technical Selection Discovery
E-business Direction and Goal Discovery in any Web
Application Project will require knowledge and experinece
in the area of e-business and marketing.
Branding and Marketing Discovery in any Web Application
Project will require knowledge and experinece in the
areas of branding, marketing, SEO, SEM and web
technology.
E-business Method and Process Specification Discovery in
any Web Application Project will require knowledge and
experinece in the areas of e-business, user experience
(UX) and web technology.
Functionality Specification Discovery in any Web
Application Project will require knowledge and experinece
in the areas of web technology, user experience, design,
and development.
Technical Selection Discovery in any Web Application
Project will require knowledge and experinece in the
areas of web development, hosting and server
technology.
Business Direction and Goal Discovery
Business Direction and Goal Discovery entails
brainstorming and making decisions on the business
goals, finances and direction.

For example, how the business will make a profit, how it


would secure finances and any business plans and
direction.
Branding and Marketing Discovery
Branding and Marketing Discovery entails research and
discovery of the market landscape and demand for the
products or services that are offerred by the website.
This step may also include defining the site's products or
services or making changes to the project roadmap or
strategy to in order to reach the goal and success for the
website or the business.
For example, identifying the audience or clients and
selecting a design theme that best suits the audience.
Business Specification Discovery
Business Specification Discovery entails brainstorming
and making decisions about the business behaivors as
they relate to the web application.
For example, if the Web Application is a paid subscription
type website, selecting a process type, such as one of the
examples below would be necessary:
a. Free 30 days trial offer with collecting credit card
information at sign up
b. Free 30 days trial offer without collecting credit card
information at sign up
c. No free trial offer - start the subscription at the signup
Functionality Specification Discovery
Functionality Specification Discovery entails
brainstorming, learning and making decisions on the
feature details, functionalities, user interaction flows,
priority and flow of navigational system, interface
elements and content, usability and required user
experience items as they relate to the project, etc..
For example, if the Web Application is a paid subscription
type website, and the sign up process requires several
pages of questionnaires, how-to-organize, categorize,
prioritize and present the questionnaires.
Technical Selection Discovery
Technical Selection Discovery would entail selecting the
development platform and framework, server or cloud
hosting, SSL, Trust Marks, Security Software and many
other technical side of a project.
For example, selecting PHP MVC as the platform of
choice, LAMP managed hosting, Trustwave SSL,
Trustwave PCI Compliance Scan, etc..
Benefits of Web Applications

Web applications allow companies to deliver complex


programs without a complicated roll-out schedule. Since
all you need is a web browser and a URL to the
application, most employees will be able to access the
application immediately. Web applications store all their
data on the server, so users don't need a lot of extra
hard drive space to install and use a web application.

Drawbacks of Web Applications

Web applications run inside a web browser, which already


has an expected use. Changing that use, by opening
windows without controls or other techniques, can
confuse the user. Also, many web applications are written
with only one web browser (typically Internet Explorer) in
mind. While this makes the work easier for the
application developer, it can cause problems for users
who use any other browser beyond the supported one.
Finally, if the data is stored on an external server, and
the company running that web application goes out of
business, users may lose all their data unexpectedly.

INTERNET POTENTIAL AND LIMITATIONS,


PRIORITIES AND UTILIZATION

The Internet (also known simply as "the Net" or


less precisely as "the Web") is a more interactive
medium of mass media, and can be briefly
described as "a network of networks". Specifically,
it is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of
interconnected computer networks that
transmit data by packet switching using the
standard Internet Protocol (IP). It consists of
millions of smaller domestic, academic, business,
and governmental networks, which together carry
various information and services, such
as email, online chat, file transfer, and the
interlinked web pages and other documents of
the World Wide Web. The invention of the Internet
has also allowed breaking news stories to reach
around the globe within minutes. This rapid growth
of instantaneous, decentralized communication is
often deemed likely to change mass media and its
relationship to society.

INTERNET POTENTIAL
The development of the Internet has created many
opportunities for expanding the way that
knowledge and services have traditionally been
disseminated in all businesses and fields of study.
Along with these new opportunities for
development comes the potential to misuse this
technology. Misuse of the Internet can easily
damage the reputation of the field, and result in
harm to individual clients. As a means of
establishing standards for the proper use of the
Internet, it is essential that ethical guidelines be
expanded to include the use of the Internet in sport
psychology. This Position Stand several of the
potential uses of the Internet in sport psychology,
describes several problems and unethical practices
that must be considered when using the Internet,
provides a rationale for the development of
Internet standards, and proposes an initial set of
ethical standards for the use of the Internet.

Consumer related computer technology seemingly


changes on a daily basis. The Internet and other
technologies also continue to grow and develop at
a similarly astounding pace. As these changes
occur, people continue to find new and innovative
ways of utilizing these technological advancements
for their personal and professional benefit. The
field of sport psychology is not an exception to this
trend.
Professionals and laypersons both use the internet
extensively in business, industry, communication,
education and entertainment. The Internet
provides a variety of services that enable
individuals to obtain valuable information for their
needs. These services are often rapid and
inexpensive. The use of the Internet by
professionals has largely improved communication
and the dissemination of information among
professionals, students, and laypersons. These
advancements in technology lead not only to
positive consequences and the advancement of the
field, but also bear ethical dilemmas, which are of
interest to the profession.

With the continuous development of new and more


powerful forms of communication and information
retrieval, it is inevitable that individuals in the field
of sport psychology will harness these resources
for personal and professional growth. The
utilization of these resources can have both
positive and negative effects upon the on
psychology, and the clients that are served. In
order to accentuate the benefit of this technology
and minimize the pitfalls, guidelines should be
developed to help structure the manner in which
the Internet is used.

Several issues related to the use of the Internet for


professional consultation that have not been
researched, and need to be examined. There are
several crucial questions related to the use of the
Internet that need to be answered before one can
use and provide services which meet reliable,
professional, and ethical standards.

INTERNET LIMITATIONS

The quality of information resources might not


always be reliable and accurate.

Searching of information can be very tedious. (It Is


definitely time consuming)

Performance and speed are the main limitations to


today's Internet also. A person using a high-speed
corporate network might download Web pages at
speeds of millions of bits per second, but a home
user might get only one-tenth or one-hundredth of
that speed.

The internet is unable to reconcile the whole world


to decide what is good and what is not. The biggest
issues here are plagiarism, copyright, porn and
twisted content that is legal depending
geographically where you live. For example in some
countries it is legal to upload copyrighted material
but not download, in others you can download but
not upload and in many you can't legally do any.

The internet is limited by its bandwidth. In regular


applications this is negligible but in bigger
commercial applications or in sub-developed
countries the bandwidth is a major issue. The
internet is also limited to the IP addresses.
Currently there are enough IP addresses but the
demand is ever increasing.

The internet openness allows viruses to spread


very fast making some viruses spread to millions
around before being contained. Also the
information available on the internet is not always
verifiable as users may edit and alter the perceived
reality as they see fit altering articles, photos and
even videos. (Example: Wikipedia once reported
someone dead and it was written on big
newspapers). This openness also allows to spam
and poison search results intentionally and
unintentionally; spam is a big issue that may never
be resolved.

INTERNET PRIORITIES:-
Website Making, putting it Live and its Marketing
Priorities:-

The following technique is follwed in the course of


website making:-

Domain:--- Hosting --- IP Address --


Architecture -- Panel Mgmt.

This technique is to maintain and manage following


priorities of Internet:-

1. Manage Projects On The Go


2. Get Things Done Effectively
3. Collaborate & Prioritize
4. Integrate With Your Existing Workflow

Domain Booking:- Domain names function as the


address for a web site. To obtain a domain name using
one of these top level domain names, a WhoIs.info
search should be done to make sure the name is not
taken. Following pattern is followed in terms of
Domain Booking Priorities:

Regist Domain Registrati Resellers


rar Owners on

Providers

InterN Verisign Godaddy. Shop.adworldwidete


IC (.com,.ne com ch.com
t),
ICANN Afflias(.in
fo),

PIR(.org,
.in,
.co.in)

Web Hosting & IP Address:-

There are various types of web hosting services available


to host your website.

 Free web hosting service: offered by different


companies with limited services, sometimes supported
by advertisements, and often limited when compared
to paid hosting.
 Shared web hosting service: one's website is placed
on the same server as many other sites, ranging from
a few to hundreds or thousands. Typically, all domains
may share a common pool of server resources, such
as RAM and the CPU. The features available with this
type of service can be quite basic and not flexible in
terms of software and updates. Resellers often sell
shared web hosting and web companies often have
reseller accounts to provide hosting for clients.
 Reseller web hosting: allows clients to become web
hosts themselves. Resellers could function, for
individual domains, under any combination of these
listed types of hosting, depending on who they are
affiliated with as a reseller. Resellers' accounts may
vary tremendously in size: they may have their own
virtual dedicated server to a colocated server. Many
resellers provide a nearly identical service to their
provider's shared hosting plan and provide the
technical support themselves.
 Virtual Dedicated Server: also known as a Virtual
Private Server (VPS), divides server resources into
virtual servers, where resources can be allocated in a
way that does not directly reflect the underlying
hardware. VPS will often be allocated resources based
on a one server to many VPSs relationship, however
virtualisation may be done for a number of reasons,
including the ability to move a VPS container between
servers. The users may have root access to their own
virtual space. Customers are sometimes responsible
for patching and maintaining the server.
 Dedicated hosting service: the user gets his or her
own Web server and gains full control over it (user
has root access for Linux/administrator access for
Windows); however, the user typically does not own
the server. One type of Dedicated hosting is Self-
Managed or Unmanaged. This is usually the least
expensive for Dedicated plans. The user has full
administrative access to the server, which means the
client is responsible for the security and maintenance
of his own dedicated server.
 Managed hosting service: the user gets his or her
own Web server but is not allowed full control over it
(user is denied root access for Linux/administrator
access for Windows); however, they are allowed to
manage their data via FTP or other remote
management tools. The user is disallowed full control
so that the provider can guarantee quality of service
by not allowing the user to modify the server or
potentially create configuration problems. The user
typically does not own the server. The server is leased
to the client.
 Colocation web hosting service: similar to the
dedicated web hosting service, but the user owns the
colo server; the hosting company provides physical
space that the server takes up and takes care of the
server. This is the most powerful and expensive type of
web hosting service. In most cases, the colocation
provider may provide little to no support directly for
their client's machine, providing only the electrical,
Internet access, and storage facilities for the server. In
most cases for colo, the client would have his own
administrator visit the data center on site to do any
hardware upgrades or changes. Formerly, many
colocation providers would accept any system
configuration for hosting, even ones housed in
desktop-style minitower cases, but most hosts now
require rack mount enclosures and standard system
configurations.
 Cloud hosting: is a new type of hosting platform that
allows customers powerful, scalable and reliable
hosting based on clustered load-balanced servers and
utility billing. A cloud hosted website may be more
reliable than alternatives since other computers in the
cloud can compensate when a single piece of hardware
goes down. Also, local power disruptions or even
natural disasters are less problematic for cloud hosted
sites, as cloud hosting is decentralized. Cloud hosting
also allows providers to charge users only for resources
consumed by the user, rather than a flat fee for the
amount the user expects they will use, or a fixed cost
upfront hardware investment. Alternatively, the lack of
centralization may give users less control on where
their data is located which could be a problem for users
with data security or privacy concerns.
 Clustered hosting: having multiple servers hosting
the same content for better resource utilization.
Clustered Servers are a perfect solution for high-
availability dedicated hosting, or creating a scalable
web hosting solution. A cluster may separate web
serving from database hosting capability. (Usually Web
hosts use Clustered Hosting for their Shared hosting
plans, as there are multiple benefits to the mass
managing of clients).
 Grid hosting: this form of distributed hosting is when
a server cluster acts like a grid and is composed of
multiple nodes.
 Home server: usually a single machine placed in a
private residence can be used to host one or more web
sites from a usually consumer-
grade broadband connection. These can be purpose-
built machines or more commonly old PCs. Some ISPs
actively attempt to block home servers by disallowing
incoming requests to TCP port 80 of the user's
connection and by refusing to provide static IP
addresses. A common way to attain a reliable DNS
host name is by creating an account with a dynamic
DNS service. A dynamic DNS service will automatically
change the IP address that a URL points to when the IP
address changes.
Web hosting is often provided as part of a general
Internet access plan; there are many free and paid
providers offering these types of web hosting.
A customer needs to evaluate the requirements of the
application to choose what kind of hosting to use. Such
considerations include database server software, scripting
software, and operating system. Most hosting providers
provide Linux-based web hosting which offers a wide
range of different software. A typical configuration for a
Linux server is
the LAMP platform: Linux, Apache, MySQL,
and PHP/Perl/Python. The web hosting client may want to
have other services, such as email for their business
domain, databases or multimedia services. A customer
may also choose Windows as the hosting platform. The
customer still can choose from PHP, Perl, and Python but
may also use ASP .Net or Classic ASP.
IP Address of hosting server like CName,
NS(Nameserver), MX(Mail exchange Server) etc been
checked by using DNSwatch.info.
Architecture:- (please check Glossary for detail)

Two pattern of website layout presentations are:-

Static (Only layout presentation):- (HTML, CSS,


Javascript, HTML5, CSS3, Dojo)

Dynamic (Layout presentation with the help of


application layer and database connection):-,.

Paid Source:- Language (Asp.net), Database


(MSSQL, Oracle SQL)

Open source:- Language (Java, PHP etc)), Database


(MySQL) etc

Panel Management:-

Most Famous Web Hosting Panels are as follows:-


Cpanel – a web based web hosting control panel that
provides a graphical interface and automation tools
designed to simplify the process of hosting a web site.

DirectAdmin panel – fast running and stable a


graphical web-based hosting control panel designed to
make administration of websites easier.

Parallels Plesk – It is a Professional control panel that


gives web-designers, web-masters and website owners
tools to manage their servers, sites and applications.

ZPanel – free to download and use Web hosting control


panel written to work effortlessly with Microsoft Windows
and POSIX (Linux, UNIX and MacOSX) based servers or
computers.

ISPmanager – control panel allows you to manage your


entire web-server through a user friendly and
comprehensive multi-language web interface.

Other Panels are also there which can be used for hosting
like:-

Ajenti, Domain Technologie Control (GPLHost),


FreedomCP, Kloxo, OpenPanel, The Hosting Tool, Vesta,
Virtualmin GPL/Webmin etc

INTERNET UTILIZATION:-

Internet has grown exponentially enabling users to


communicate with each other and share

Marketing and the Dissemination of Information:-


One of the keys to the development of any business
is marketing. Effective marketing strategies enable
potential consumers to become aware of the
quality and types of services available to them. The
Internet can serve as an efficient and effective
means of disseminating information to consumers.
Marketing strategies commonly include the
development of WWW home pages, and
advertisements on web sites, engines and bulletin
boards. These WWW web sites go one step further
than traditional marketing approaches, and provide
a forum for question and answer services, self-help
psycho-educational resources e.g., imagery and
goal setting exercises), and the procurement of
professional resources (e.g., books, videos, tapes).

provide distance learning opportunities in all field

individuals are able to learn about course
assignments, read the necessary text assignments,
watch lectures, ask questions of professors an
classmates, receive instructional guidance, and
turn in assignments. These opportunities allow
individuals to live and work in one geographic area
of the world, and take specific classes offered in
other geographic locations to round out their
knowledge base.

Quality supervision :- This is one of the keys to the


development of effective skills in all areas of
professional practice. The Internet can now be

group supervision possible with experts from all
domains worldwide which can facilitate the
dissemination of new and innovative skills, and
enhance the professional development worldwide.

Counselling/Performance Enhancement:-Use of

teams/groups from diverse backgrounds and
geographic locations to receive professional
guidance from practitioner. Technology such as
video-conferencing, e-mail, telephone and chat
rooms make it possible for anybody with access to
the appropriate resources to have contact with a
service provider. These Internet resources also
make it much easier for physically disabled
individuals with reduced mobility to receive
services. Internet technology also makes face-to-
face meetings more efficient by allowing both
parties to improve their relationship.

HTML 5 :- It holds enormous promise for the browser


experience without a plug-in requirement. Capabilities

playback with synchronization, all sorts of transitions,
interactive canvas and font manipulation, advanced
typography, Web SQL data storage and rollback,
online/offline testing and a myriad of others available
now or under way. Chrome, Firefox and Safari browsers
now support HTML5. Microsoft is planning to support it,
and maintains an excellent HTML5 Web site where it
displays news, capabilities and emerging features about
HTML5 and other technologies that have not yet been
standardized.
