Linux Hosting Tips

Here's a great article about Linux hosting which should help you learn more tips about finding an affordable host provider, compare features on different plans, evaluate bandwidth usage and storage deals, choosing between Windows or Linux servers, or just find an affordable place to host your website.

The 1.6.1 generation of BitDefender for Linux Mail Servers was enriched today with three more dedicated products, BitDefender for , -Milter and Postfix mail servers, and with a generic SMTP proxy scanner, designed to be compatible with most other mail servers running on *nix systems.The released products feature, among other things, a brand new technology, entitled "Update Pushing" which allows updates to be automatically "pushed" from BitDefender servers to BitDefender clients, instead of being checked and "pulled" by the clients themselves from the update servers.This allows BitDefender to minimize the window of vulnerability in case of virus outbreaks, deploying virus signatures, scanning engines or antispam definitions in just a few seconds since the virus or the attack has been detected by the BitDefender Labs.Furthermore, the products come with a completely new statistics module, which implements persistent counters for emails, files and objects. Statistics are stored in an eye-friendly xml file, and can also be viewed either in console (locally) or remotely, via the BitDefender Remote Admin. Thus, the network administrator has a crystal clear picture of the ongoing mail traffic, as well as of the increased productivity yielded by BitDefender. Another key addition to the feature set of the new products, BitDefender Swiss Army kniFE (bdsafe), is a tool introduced in the new generation, which is capable of patching any and all installed BitDefender components. This tool enables a previously-unheard of ability: that of patching installed products on-the-fly.As BitDefender Business Line Manager Mircea Mitu declared, "The bottom line is that all BitDefender users should upgrade their products to the latest available version.
