Today, the world’s bestselling reference series, For Dummies® announces
Web Hosting For Dummies (Wiley, 978-1-118-54057-2, May 2013, US $24.99),
a complete guide for bloggers, small business owners, and web designers
and developers that want to either make the leap from a hosted to
self-hosted service, or unlock the powerful web hosting tools they have
been paying for but never utilized. In a straightforward and fun
language that has defined the For Dummies® series for over 20 years,
author Peter Pollock reveals the ins and outs of self-hosting a website
and all of the functionality that most users never access.
For many new users, there’s a layer of complexity that prevents them
from moving to a dedicated web hosting service or using the existing
service to its fullest. “All of the different names, ‘Web hosting’,
‘website hosting’, ‘self hosting,’ or ‘blog hosting,’ can be confusing
at first. However, they all mean that you have complete control of how
your website is made available to the world,” said Pollock.
Inside Web Hosting For Dummies, Pollock uses simple, easy-to-understand
language, to break down all the functions of web hosting for self-hosted
users, from setting up new e-mail accounts to backing up and securing a
website, analyzing server logs, choosing a platform to install and more.
Coverage also includes clear explanations of more complex topics such as
working with FTP clients, backing up and securing sites, understanding
domains and DNS and using built-in databases.
