How To Choose Best Hosting for Your Website

If you are starting a website the first thing you should do is find a good hosting provider.If you select the right hosting provider it will not only save you from future hassles but it is also beneficial for SEO of your website.There are too many hosting provider available in the market and many of them will give you fake promises like unlimited bandwidth ,connections ,space etc.But as your website start gaining decent traffic they will ask you to upgrade your hosting plans as they cannot support that much traffic under your current plan.
Then most of us have no other option but have to upgrade the hosting plan as moving the website to new host is not an easy task.Moreovere there is no guarantee that the new host will not play the same tricks.So selecting the best hosting can be really difficult.
Each webhost usually provides three types of hosting services

• Shared Hosting
• Dedicated Server Hosting
• Virtual Dedicated Server or Virtual Private Servers
  

Shared Hosting:-.In shared hosting same server is shared by multiple websites and the resources (bandwidth,space,connections) are limited.Most of the companies don’t guarantee high performance in shared hosting. It is recommended for new webmasters
Dedicated Server Hosting:-In dedicated server hosting you will have your separate server.It is recommended if your own a blog network (20-30 blogs),high bandwidth website (like streaming websites,image hosting) or if you want to run advanced softwares on your server.Dedicated servers assure you peek performance and high reliability.
Virtual Dedicated servers :-In virtual dedicated servers there will be many  customers on the same server (like shared hosting) but you will be given separate privacy and resources  (like dedicated hosting)
While selecting a any hosting Plan you will have to choose between Windows Hosting or  Linux Hosting
Windows Web Hosting:- The biggest advantage of windows web hosting is that you can run Microsoft softwares  such as Access and MS SQL databases.If you are a developer then you can also use Microsoft programming technologies like Active Server Pages (ASP), Visual Basic Scripts, MS Index Server
Linux Web Hosting:-Linux web hosting is cheaper than windows hosting and it is also known for high speed and less frequent crashes.But you cannot run Microsoft softwares on your Linux hosting

Verify Paypal Account In India

Paypal is used for online money transactions and is a wholly owned subsidiary of eBay .To sign up for a new account in India you will need PAN card number.If your account is not verified you can’t withdraw more than $500 in one month.After verification of your account all limitations will be lifted and you can withdraw as much as you want.

There are two methods to verify a Paypal Account

• Confirm Your Bank Account
• Confirm Your Credit/Debit Card

Confirm Your Bank Account:-For bank account verification paypal deposits two small amounts in your bank account.You have to look in your account statement and  enter the exact amount that have been deposited in your account.

I tried to verify my Punjab National Bank (PNB) account but the amount deposited by paypal didn’t show in my bank statement.

Confirm Your Credit/Debit card:- If you use this option paypal will deduct a small amount usually $1.95 (around 100 Rs).You have to enter the expuse number (4 digit number ) for that transaction in your paypal account.Expuse number should be visible in your credit card statement.The deducted amount will be added into your account after you verify the account.

When I tried to verify using my PNB credit card the money was deducted from my account but the expuse was not available in my credit card transaction details.
I discussed the matter with an employee of my local PNB branch but he had no clue about expuse number.
After a lot of research  I found a way to verify paypal account.You need to have a HDFC account for using this trick.

HDFC Netsafe Cards:- Hdfc netsafe is used to create Vitual Credit Cards (VCC).You can create as many virtual master/Visa cards as you want and they will only have the amount you fill in them.

• Sign Up for HDFC Netsafe account.
• Now login into your Netsafe account.
• We have to create a new Virtual credit card.Enter any amount between Rs 100 and 200 and click on GO button.

• Now your new credit card will be generated.Copy  Virtual Credit Card Number, CVV2 & Card Expiry Date
• Open your paypal account and click on Get Verified link.
• Now fill all the required fields such as Name,Card Type.In Card number,Expiry Date and Security code enter the details of Virtual credit card (VCC).

• Now Click on Save and Continue Button

Now Paypal will deduct an amount of $1.95 from your VCC and you have to locate the expuse number for this transaction.

How To Locate Expuse Number In HDFC Netsafe Card

• Login Into your HDFC Netsafe Account.

• Click on All Accounts and Services Link
• Now click on the Txn. Details button at the bottom of this page.It will open all the transaction details of your virtual credit cards.

Caller ID spoofing

Caller ID spoofing is the act of making the telephone network to display any desired (Fake) number on the recipient’s Caller ID display unit instead of the original number. The Caller ID spoofing can make a call appear to have come from any phone number that the caller wishes.

Have you ever wondered how to perform Caller ID spoofing? Read on to know more information on how to spoof Caller ID.

Unlike what most people think, an incoming call may not be from the number that is displayed on the Caller ID display unit. Because of the high trust that the people have in the Caller ID system, it is possible for the caller to easily fool them and make them believe that the number displayed on the Caller ID display is real. This is all possible through Caller ID spoofing.

How to Spoof Caller ID?

You can easily spoof any Caller ID using services like SpoofCard. In order to use the spoofcard service, you need to pay in advance and obtain a PIN (Personal Identification Number) which grants access to make a call using the Caller ID spoofing service. Once you have purchased the service, you will be given access to login to your SpoofCard account. To begin with, you need to call the number given by SpoofCard and enter the PIN. Now you will be given access to enter the number you wish to call and the number you wish to appear as the Caller ID.

Once you select the options and initiate the calling process, the call is bridged and the person on the other end receives your call. The receiver would normally assume that the call was coming from a different phone number ie: the spoofed number chosen by you - thus tricking the receiver into thinking that the call was coming from a different individual or organization than the caller’s. In this way, it becomes just a cakewalk to spoof Caller ID and trick the receiver on the other end. Thus, you neither need to be a computer expert nor have any technical knowledge to spoof caller ID. For more information on SpoofCard service visit the following link.

SpoofCard - Caller ID Spoofing Service

How Caller ID Spoofing works?

Caller ID spoofing is done through various methods and using different technologies. The most commonly used technologies to spoof Caller ID is VOIP (Voice Over IP) and PRI (Primary Rate Interface) lines.

Today most VOIP systems provide an option for it’s users to enter whatever number they want in the calling party field and this number is sent out when they make a call. Hence it is easily possible for any user to spoof Caller ID provided they have a VOIP system and know how to properly configure it to spoof the Caller ID. However sites like SpoofCard provide an easy and cheap spoofing services for those who aren’t using VOIP systems that they can configure themselves.

Caller ID spoofing is possible and being performed right from the days Called ID system was introduced. However most people are unaware of the fact that it is possible to spoof  Caller ID and make any number to be displayed on the receiver’s end. In the past, Caller ID spoofing service was mostly used by telemarketers, collection agencies, law-enforcement officials, and private investigators. But today, it is available to any Internet user who wish to spoof caller ID.

Google serves almost 80 percent of all search queries on the Internet, proving itself as the most popular search engine. However Google makes it possible to reach not only the publicly available information resources, but also gives access to some of the most confidential information that should never have been revealed. In this post I will show how to use Google for exploiting security vulnerabilities within websites. The following are some of the hacks that can be accomplished using Google.

1. Hacking Security Cameras

There exists many security cameras used for monitoring places like parking lots, college campus, road traffic etc. which can be hacked using Google so that you can view the images captured by those cameras in real time. All you have to do is use the following search query in Google. Type in Google search box exactly as follows and hit enter

inurl:”viewerframe?mode=motion”

Click on any of the search results (Top 5 recommended) and you will gain access to the live camera which has full controls. You will see something as follows

As you can see in the above screenshot, you now have access to the Live cameras which work in real-time. You can also move the cameras in all the four directions, perform actions such as zoom in and zoom out. This camera has really a less refresh rate. But there are other search queries through which you can gain access to other cameras which have faster refresh rates. So to access them just use the following search query.

intitle:”Live View / – AXIS”

Click on any of the search results to access a different set of live cameras. Thus you have hacked Security Cameras using Google.

2. Hacking Personal and Confidential Documents

Using Google it is possible to gain access to an email repository containing CV of hundreds of people which were created when applying for their jobs. The documents containing their Address, Phone, DOB, Education, Work experience etc. can be found just in seconds.

intitle:”curriculum vitae” “phone * * *” “address *” “e-mail”

You can gain access to a list of .xls (excel documents) which contain contact details including email addresses of large group of people. To do so type the following search query and hit enter.

filetype:xls inurl:”email.xls”

Also it’s possible to gain access to documents potentially containing information on bank accounts, financial summaries and credit card numbers using the following search query

intitle:index.of finances.xls

3. Hacking Google to gain access to Free Stuffs

Ever wondered how to hack Google for free music or ebooks. Well here is a way to do that. To download free music just enter the following query on google search box and hit enter.

“?intitle:index.of?mp3 eminem“

Now you’ll gain access to the whole index of eminem album where in you can download the songs of your choice. Instead of eminem you can subtitute the name of your favorite album. To search for the ebooks all you have to do is replace “eminem” with your favorite book name. Also replace “mp3″ with “pdf” or “zip” or “rar”.
