How much space do you really need for your website?



Making a website public requires a server to host the website files and a domain for its unique address. For both of them, you require a basic understanding before you buy a package for your website. We will discuss domains some other day but today let us get some clarity on server space.


Server space or disk space is the amount of data you can store on a webserver. The amount of space needed depends on the size of your website. Majority of websites are built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript for front end development, and PHP for back end development. The files comprised of codes and texts take very little space in a server. Some KB as in Kilobytes in most cases. But the concern for exceeding the server space comes when we loop in images, pdf files, or some other large documents inside a website. The standard size of a website composed of all possible elements should be under 1024KB which is about 1MB as in Megabyte. But in most cases, we find that it breaks the barrier of MB and reaches up to 1GB as in Gigabyte. 1GB is around 1024MB. This is not a healthy practice. Just think that a user has to use up his 1GB data (internet usage) to check your whole website. Does it sound reasonable? Consult with XENMAG, the best website development company in India for limiting your website size.


The size limiting approach of a website should be considered from the beginning. If the website developing agency prioritizes this and talks it through with the website owner then it is a very possible task to limit a website under 1MB. But one has to acknowledge the issue or become aware of it. Some of your website visitors who can be your potential customers are using slow internet connections of under 56Kbps. For them, a 60KB page will take more than 8 seconds to load. 8 seconds seems like a small number, but imagine you have to sit there and stare at a blank white page for 8 seconds. That's a lot of time. So be aware of the situation and think accordingly before jumping into any conclusion.

What is a web database?

Image
A Web database is a database application for managing and accessing through the Internet. Technicians, in this case, database administrators can manage this collection of data to modify or to present results. Any database can be used for both professional and personal use. It is generally hosted on servers as it requires a particular environment to run on. The entire dynamic (we can say run time also) information of a website or a web application is stored in a database. Starting from login information, payment information to blogs everything is stored inside a database. That is why keeping a database safe and secure is the most important job in the website security business. Also accessing any database directly through a web browser without any communicator is not possible for that reason. To know more on how to keep your database safe contact XENMAG, the best web development company in India . Database concept provides the richest method of storing and organizing

What is AJAX?

Image
Asynchronous Javascript and XML or AJAX is not a programming language. It is a technique for web applications to send and receive data from a server asynchronously. In simple word, using AJAX means getting data from a server without reloading a web page or without impacting the other contents of the page. AJAX uses XMLHttpRequest object to communicate with the server, JavaScript/DOM to make the requests and XML as a format to transfer data. The term AJAX was floored in 2005 but the development had been underway for several years. Ajax is open source and thus accessible. That is why it cannot be credited to just one organization or individual for the technical growth of AJAX. Development of asynchronous technologies began around 1996. In the late 90s, Microsoft used a forerunner to AJAX. Google, meanwhile, used asynchronous technologies heavily in applications like Google Maps in the first decade of the 21st century. AJAX came into the consideration of mass developers back i

Keeping up with e-commerce

Image
In the modern era of technology and internet, even age-old traditions of buying things have taken the shape of modernity. Earlier what we meant by buying goods and services were standing in long queues, selecting from a limited variety of items, debating with the shopkeeper to reduce the price and what not. But with the advent of the internet and advancements in the commercial sector were made, leading to what we know today as e-commerce. E-commerce is basically the buying and selling of goods services and products using the internet, and making payment transactions to execute the buying. This can be done via various apps or websites who attach themselves to popular and trusted banks and via that application or software the transactions are made for the products which are to be bought. The selection of the products has become unlimited in nature. If you are planning to launch your own e-commerce store feel free to contact XENMAG, the best web development company in India .
