UK Vs US Hosting

How to decide which server — UK or US is good for your business? The answer is simply follow three things –

Speed ? — Speed will matter from audience / user perspective - though network paths are decided as shortest possible path to reach destination.

Example - a user sitting in UK and site hosted on UK server - its but obvious speed will be good opposed to site hosted on US server.

SEO ? — Yes! The search engines like Google / MSN / Yahoo work on logical basis: If a site is hosted on UK server and has a .uk domain name then it’s most probably a UK website - the score will be good.

Say for example yahoo.co.uk. If the site has a .uk domain name but is hosted on US server it may not do quite well as the evidence the search engines have is less apparent. Finally, if the site is hosted in the US on a .com then the evidence would point to it actually being a US site, so might not show on UK searches at all.

The important point you need to consider is why would you build a SEO handicap website from the very start of your hosting? Infrenion offers both US and UK hosting so clients who really care for what audience / users their site should be targeted they can select hosting accordingly.

Cost ? — Compared to US Hosting - Yes UK hosting cost is bit high - but again hosting cost should not matter if you know your SEO is not going to affect while hosting on right servers. Ultimately if you get a good business by paying small amount then its always better.

In simple terms - if your domain is .uk or .co.uk etc and you want your site should get good SEO results then host your site on UK servers while .com sites can host on US servers for good results in search engines.

I came across a good comparison between ClipShare and PhpMotion - would like to sharewith visitors

What Web Platform To Use - The Choice between Clipshare or PhpMotion

Once you’ve got your niche it’s time to choose your platform. While there is two main options we advise, one is for the budget user wanting to have the minimal basics the other is for the user who is looking to jump straight ahead.

We are going to review the two main Youtube clones we feature on this website, Clipshare and PhpMotion.

Clipshare Review - It’s Our Number One

Clipshare is the most popular commerical clone released it’s sold almost 5,000 copies and the next release, Clipshare 3.0 is feature rich and is more security focused than it’s earlier distributions. Clipshare, while it comes at a hefty price compared to PhpMotion - $200 the community surrounding the product, the range of templates available and the ease of customizing the look of Clipshare has been responsible for it’s popularity as the software of choice for users.

Although certain bugs have been identified in the 2.5 Clipshare release, Clipshare 3.0 has been confirmed to fix all of the bugs identified earlier and should result in a more robost software application.

PhpMotion Review

While PhpMotion is initially free to download, costs incurr when you wish to remove certain branding units displayed by PhpMotion. Such as the footer link ‘Powered By PhpMotion’ which can make the site look generic and unprofessional. The basics are presented in PhpMotion and if your completely new to the Video Market then going with PhpMotion is likely to be the best choice to test your particular niche.

The default template is blue in colour and while the structure is lacking it provides a good platform for displaying important information such as recently viewed and the featured videos sections.

Once you’ve tested your chosen niche upgrading to Clipshare maybe a viable option for you as your users will start requesting additional features that PhpMotion is simply does not provide.

Additional Costs Included:

De-Branding: $39.99

Conclusion

If your on a tight budget then go for PhpMotion, while the resources available are slim it’s the best software for a low budget. If you have a valid Clipshare license or willing to invest $200 into the start up of your website then go for Clipshare and look out for the Clipshare 3.0 release.
