Fulshear, TX (PRWEB) February 21, 2012 – A market leader in the field of shared web hosting, virtual private server hosting services (VPS hosting), and dedicated server hosting announced today the addition of voice tutorials to its exhaustive customer support range. Now, with full narration available across a large number of tutorials, JaguarPC customers can enjoy immediate access to informative Flash videos that are easier to understand than ever before.

“Although we take pride in the quality of our web hosting and reseller hosting services, a large part of what we do at JaguarPC is provide unrivaled support,” says Greg Landis, CEO of JaguarPC. “One of our core goals is to give our customers high-quality hosting plans, along with the expertise they require to get the most out of their chosen service. Our research has shown that people respond better to information that they hear, so the introduction of voice tutorials was the next logical step in delivering advice and insight effectively.”

To support the web hosting provider’s large customer base, JaguarPC offers a vast selection of Flash-based, animated tutorials featuring captured images to illustrate processes and procedures. The most popular of JaguarPC’s web hosting tutorials is the “Intro to Web Hosting” series, featuring 28 bite-sized tutorials demonstrating the most common tasks involved in setting up a shared web hosting plan, VPS hosting service, or dedicated server web hosting plan. Each one of the tutorials in this series is now accompanied by full narration that works alongside images and on-screen text to convey information quickly and succinctly. The full range of tutorials available from JaguarPC covers numerous subjects, including transferring domains to JaguarPC, setting up email, working with content management systems, and, for reseller hosting service customers, using WebHostManager (WHM) to deploy and manage accounts.

“If it’s something you can do using your JaguarPC web hosting plan, it’s covered in our tutorials,” says Landis. “We now have 1,055 tutorials and continue to generate new entries on a regular basis. But it’s quality, not quantity that really matters, especially when attempting to teach somebody about the potentially confusing world of web hosting. Adding a friendly voice that can literally tell our customers what they need to know makes things easier to understand, gives customers a more enjoyable, relaxed experience and – most importantly – helps make the information stick with our visitors long-term.”

Distinctively, JaguarPC’s collection of tutorials covers more than just the web hosting and managed hosting services that the company offers. Designed to serve as a single location where JaguarPC customers can arm themselves with the knowledge they need to build their business online, the tutorials also feature information on using Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social media outlets to market a website. In addition, customers who visit the JaguarPC tutorials database will find advice on software that they may encounter, from web browsers such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, to offline applications including PhotoShop.

“Building a large collection of web hosting tutorials and making them available to our customers is good,” says Landis. “Making those tutorials narrated is what takes them from good to great. But it is only by combining clear, crisp Flash video with useful text and voice instruction that we have been able to make our tutorials the best in the business. Our customers come to us for quality web hosting services from shared hosting plans to dedicated server solutions – but they stay with us long-term because we are determined to support their goals and give them the detailed help and assistance they require.”

Although every web hosting provider claims to have customer support at the center of its interests, few invest large-scale resources into developing effective support resources. Now, with the addition of voice tutorials, JaguarPC continues to prove its commitment to going further than its competitors with detailed support services.

For many people, web hosting is obscure and difficult, a science only the initiated can master.

But is running a website really that complicated? Do you need a lot of experience to install, configure, and maintain a website? Or is this just a common misconception dating back to the nineties, a time when owning a website was much more challenging and expensive?

At JaguarPC, we firmly believe that anyone can run a website, even the folks with zero or little experience in technology. With the help of our cPanel hosting solutions and a little ambition, virtually anyone can accomplish the basic tasks related to web hosting. So, for all of you technology beginners out there, don’t lose hope – choose a cPanel web hosting plan and see how web hosting can be easy, affordable, and even fun.

For many people, especially for those who have a long history with website hosting, cheap hosting is nothing but a source of headaches. At least partially, the bad reputation of cheap hosting (also called budget hosting, low-cost hosting, or discount hosting, depending on the provider) is deserved. Unfortunately, cheap hosting providers often cut resources, features, and reliability in their constant race to offer smaller prices and outdo the competition.

However, not all affordable hosting plans deserve to be labeled as cheap. Some reputable providers, including industry-leader JaguarPC, offer quality hosting services at low-end prices. At JaguarPC, affordable hosting plans start at very low rates for a fully-featured, unlimited hosting plan. With monthly fees that are smaller than the cost of a large coffee, JaguarPC’s hosting plans can certainly be called “cheap.” But JaguarPC’s solutions are far from that.

To show you the difference between a quality, affordable hosting solution and the infamous cheap hosting that causes so many problems for unsuspecting website owners, JaguarPC has recently published an article in the resource section. Titled How to Choose an Affordable Web Hosting Plan, the article deals with the important differences between cheap hosting and affordable hosting and shows what you can do to ensure that you get the service you need at the lowest possible price.

Millions of people rely on their websites to earn a living. For them, and for many other web-native individuals and businesses, reliable web hosting has become an absolute necessity, comparable in importance with electric power and running water.

When you depend on a hosting service to make ends meet, you naturally tend to value reliability above all other considerations. This is why people over-allocate resources and shell out big bucks for services they might not actually need. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to invest in an expensive hosting solution that boasts both excellent reliability and a full-option feature list. So, what can you do to ensure that your website works without glitches, 24/7?

As it turns out, with the right affordable web host, you can have high quality hosting services without breaking the bank. The secret is to ignore all the marketing gimmicks and useless trinkets that providers use to embellish their offerings and focus on what really matters to you: the essential features and services, and the cost. This article will be your guide to selecting an affordable hosting solution that doesn’t sacrifice any essential features for the sake of a lower cost.

Many people associate affordable web hosting with cheap, low-quality hosting services that give up on you when you least expect it. But does affordable web hosting really deserve this negative reputation? Are all low-priced hosting plans unreliable, or is this just a misconception?

At JaguarPC, we like to let our services do the talking. While other hosting providers say, “you can’t have your cake and eat it too,” we firmly believe that good web hosting doesn’t need to cost a fortune, and we price our services accordingly. So, you can have your cake after all.

With prices starting at a low, low price for an unlimited hosting plan, quality, affordable web site hosting is a reality at JaguarPC. Read on to learn how we make it happen and what separates us from the crowd of cheap hosting providers.

From online stores to membership sites, secure web hosting is necessary for numerous types of online properties. Gone are the days when you could rely on chance to secure sensitive data and keep your websites safe from intrusions. In today’s hyper-connected world, you must proactively defend your virtual assets, just as you do to ensure the physical protection of your home or business.

When you go shopping for a secure web hosting solution, you will notice that service descriptions are packed with an abundance of technical terms and acronyms: SSL, SFTP, PCI DSS, IDS, continuous backup, Denial of Service … and the list goes on. While a basic hosting plan can be easily judged in terms of quality and quantity, with a secure web hosting service, you need to determine the importance of each of these terms and decide if you actually need it for your application. To help you make sense of it all, JaguarPC recently published a useful resource titled What Makes a Secure Web Host Secure.

The article reveals the most important features that should not be absent from any truly secure web hosting plan. From SSL encryption support to the presence of adequate security software, the article describes in a concise manner the top security-related features worth investing in.

Web hosting security is a concept that is often misunderstood and neglected, especially by website owners who lack technological expertise. A surprisingly high percentage of website owners fail to acknowledge the importance of using a secure hosting solution, and even worse, many fail to apply the most basic precautionary measures, such using complex, non-default passwords or patching applications on a regular basis.

We say “surprisingly” because few of us leave our car unlocked overnight or neglect to install locks on our front door. So why do we leave our online properties, and sometimes our livelihoods, at the mercy of hackers and fraudsters?

Once you realize how important it is to protect your website and data, it’s time to take measures to protect your hosting infrastructure against attacks, intrusions, data theft, phishing, and spamming. As with anything, it’s easier to prevent problems than to repair them, so your best course of action in this case is to start right from the beginning with a secure web host. This way, you have the peace of mind that your websites are protected from day one. In addition, it’s much easier to create a secure web hosting environment when you first deploy or move your websites than it is to patch a vulnerability-ridden production web server.

JaguarPC would like to introduce Katrina, our technical support manager.  Katrina has been busy tidying up support since her arrival and many improvements have already been put into place. Katrina has a great sense of humor and is always striving to improve support and create new systems to make our daily operations run more smoothly. Please, take a few moments to acquaint yourself with one of our most vivacious staff members here at JaguarPC.

What brought you to JaguarPC?
I knew someone who worked here previously and they brought the company to my attention. Once I started looking at the company, I liked what I saw. It is a solid growth company that has good communication with customers, an active forum, and an excellent knowledge base.

Can you tell us a little bit about your background?
I come from a large family of nothing but computer geeks. My two sons are also a bit on the computer geek side. If you don’t know much about computers and want to be bored to death, come eat dinner with us! I am an Air Force veteran and I started on the Internet before there really was an Internet. I loved the old BBS days! I was running a computer shop at that time and I was learning how to build and repair them.  I worked for another hosting provider for 8 years before coming to JaguarPC.

What is the best part of your job?
I enjoy being part of a very dynamic company with lots of great future plans and helping customers any way I can. I have always liked helping people and I am really looking forward to helping improve our support for both our customers and our staff.

What challenges are you planning to overcome here at JaguarPC?
My job here is to improve support and manage the support staff. I am looking at improving communication with customers further when there are server issues, improving the handling of some issues, and we are currently looking at ways to increase the speed of full server restores and testing those options.

As a support manager, is there anything you would like to let JaguarPC customers know?
Yes! I see all feedback that comes back on tickets so please do leave feedback there and I also see any suggestions in our feedback forum. We do want to hear from you all! Feel free to ask to have a ticket sent to me if you feel it is not being handled correctly or in a timely manner. You can also find me in the forums as JPC-Katrina.

What activities do you enjoy when you find some leisure time?
I’m out running around on my little scooter chasing the wind or I’m geocaching ( a game which uses a GPS device to find thousands of hidden caches all over the world full of “treasures” or just log books to sign).

JaguarPC is delighted with the addition of Katrina to our stellar support team. We know you will be too!

Every day, we become increasingly dependent on our technology. We rely on technology to connect with friends, collaborate at work, and relax in our leisure time. Internet access has become equivalent in importance with utilities like electric power and running water.

But the Internet differs from traditional utilities in one major way: with a minimum amount of resources and enough willpower, virtually anyone in the world can pull the plug on our online universe. From website takedowns to stolen confidential information, we are more vulnerable to virtual threats than we realize, and increasingly, the virtual attacks have palpable consequences in our real lives.

At JaguarPC, we know that it’s critical to ensure the uninterrupted protection of the web servers that host the online presence of thousands of customers. We provide top-notch defense mechanisms for every customer, regardless of the type of service purchased. Our secure hosting solutions are especially designed to withstand an incredible amount of hammering without failing. To this end, we employ only the best protection solutions, both online and off. Here’s how we do it.

Particularly popular with small to medium-sized businesses and with individuals looking for the most affordable form of web hosting, shared web hosting sees numerous separate user accounts co-existing on the same hardware server. As a result of its design, users can enjoy quality web hosting services without paying the full costs of managing and operating a dedicated server. Shared hosting keeps costs low, removes the need for complex administration, and plays a vital role in helping businesses enter the online marketplace.

However, the nature of shared hosting means that the performance of server hardware is outside of individual control, and is instead dictated by how the other people on your server – your neighbors – are running their web hosting accounts. Simply put, if one shared hosting account places an extra strain on the capabilities of the server hardware, performance for every user will suffer. In some cases, customers unknowingly stretch system resources including RAM and CPU as their traffic increases over time. In other instances, servers become crippled by misuse or malice. Whatever the cause, the actions of your shared web hosting neighbors have a direct and potentially serious impact on the functionality of your hosting account.

At JaguarPC, we are committed to providing shared web hosting services that consistently perform at their best. We achieve this, due in part to our strict “no overselling” policy, which limits the number of hosting accounts on each hardware server to maintain good performance. Additionally, JaguarPC is pleased to announce the roll-out of the CloudLinux operating system across all Linux shared web hosting plans, making our shared hosting services even more dependable for every user.
