Most of us, who is very new to web hosting, confused about these three terms sub domains, add-on domain and parked domains. But these things are important for web hosting. Now I am trying to explain what actually they are.

Addon Domain: An add-on domain is just like having a separate web site. The add-on domain will be hosted or pointed to a folder in your public_html folder of your main-domain. The Add-on domain should be already registered and the nameservers for the add-on domain should be pointing the same nameserves as your main-domain. Accessing the addondomain will display that very domain name in the address bar of their browser, so its similar to a separate web site. An add-on domain uses the space and bandwidth available to the main domain. An add-on domain will have its own CGI and FTP access, its own email accounts and web stats.
To add an add-on domain to your account:
1) login to your cPanel
2) go to the “Domains” menu and click “Addon Domains”
3) next put the details of your new domain and click add Domain button.
And you have successfully added your addon domain for your website.

Parked Domain: A parked domain is one which simply points to an existing domain. It is an other domain which is parked on to the main domain. Consider a domain “parked.com” which is parked on the “yourdomain.com”. If we access parked.com it will be directed to the yourdomain.com and you will get the same page as you see while accessing yourdomain.com. The parked domain should also point to the same nameservers as the main-domain.com. The park domain name should be registered. To add a parked domain to your account:
1) login to your cPanel
2) go to the “Domains” menu and click “Parked Domains”
3) Add your new domain.
Domains must be registered with a valid registrar before they can be parked. In addition, they will not be functional unless they are configured to point to your DNS servers.

Sub Domain: A sub domain utilises the existing main domain name. It does not have its own domain name. A sub domain points to a folder in your public_html directory of your main-domain. Consider you main domain ” yourname.com” and you have a folder “shop” under your public_html directory. You can create a sub domain “shop.yourname.com”. You can directly reach the shop page by accessing “shop.yourname.com”. You might have seen “mail.yahoo.com”, ” mail.google.com”. These are sub domains for yahoo.com and google.com.
To add a sub domain to your account:
1) login to your cPanel
2) go to the “Domains” menu and click “Subdomains”


3) give your subdomain name. e.g. shop
4) give the document root. i.e. the name of the folder under your public_html directory.

5) click “Create” button to create the subdomain.

Today i found a new message at my home page, google.com, that Google release a open source browser, Google Chrome. It is in BETA version. I downloaded and install to my PC. And it works superb, with a simple design and a nice blue theme. Google Chrome is clean and fast.
If you are familiar with firefox, you find that Instead of traditional tabs like those seen in Firefox, Chrome puts the tab buttons on the upper side of the window, not below the address bar.

It keeps each tab in an isolated “sandbox”, to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. It has a built in JavaScript engine, V8, which is more powerful, to power the next generation of web applications that aren’t even possible in today’s browsers.

Download Google Chrome..

The browser has an address bar with auto-completion features. Called ’omnibox’, Google says it offers search suggestions, top pages you’ve visited, pages you didn’t visit but which are popular amd more. The omnibox (“omni” is a prefix meaning “all”, as in “omniscient” – “all-knowing”) also lets you enter e.g. “digital camera” if the title of the page you visited was “Canon Digital Camera”. Additionally, the omnibox lets you search a website of which it captured the search box; you need to type the site’s name into the address bar, like “amazon”, and then hit the tab key and enter your search keywords.

As a default homepage Chrome presents you with a kind of “speed dial” feature, similar to the one of Opera. On that page you will see your most visited webpages as 9 screenshot thumbnails. To the side, you will also see a couple of your recent searches and your recently bookmarked pages, as well as recently closed tabs.

Web apps can be launched in their own browser window without address bar and toolbar. Mozilla has a project called Prism that aims to do similar (though doing so may train users into accepting non-URL windows as safe or into ignoring the URL, which could increase the effectiveness of phishing attacks).

But the Google Chrome is only for browsing, if you are viewing the source the page and willing to save the source code, you will not find the option to save. Since, this is BETA version, may be Google will solve this issues in their next version.

Cheers Google..

We know the road Madan Street or Madan Square, but we don’t know who the man was. The roads belongs to the name of a Great man who came east from the west to rising up the sun of the bengali film industry, Jamshedji Framji Madan.

Jamshedji Framji Madan (1856–1923), born in a Parsi family in Bombay, was one of the pioneers of the Indian film industry and he was the man who makes first silent Movie in Bengali language. In kolkata No can can think that it can be an industry before him.
In 1902, he started bioscope shows in a tent in Maidan, Calcutta along with similar shows in Corinthian Theatre. The equipments used were procured from Pathé Frères of Paris. Most of the films shown in those shows were from Pathé Productions. These bioscope shows (A Bioscope show was a fairground attraction consisting of a traveling cinema) were organized under the banner of Elphinstone Bioscope Company. Kolkata — the skyline across the Maidan The Maidan (open field) is the largest urban park in Kolkata (earlier known as Calcutta) in India. … Elphinstone Bioscope Company produced a number of short films. He also started film shows in Alfred Theater, which he bought in the same year.

In 1907, he established Elphinstone Picture Palace (currently known as Chaplin Cinema), which was the first permanent show house in Calcutta.

He also opened Madan Theatre and Palace of Varieties (now known as Elite Cinema).

After World War I, his business started growing rapidly. In 1919, his film production business became a joint stock company with the name of Madan Theatres Limited. Madan Theatres and its associates had great control over theatre houses in India during that period. In 1919, Madan produced the first Bengali feature film, Billwamangal. It was first screened in the Cornwallis Theatre (now known as the Sree Cinema) “The Great War â€? redirects here. ….A joint stock company (JSC) is a type of business partnership in which the capital is formed by the individual contributions of a group of shareholders. …

The Madan Theatre Company has its roots in 1902 when Jamshedji Framji Madan, a wine merchant who came to Calcutta from Bombay as a child, started his entertainment business by acquiring two theatre companies in Calcutta and then beginning film exhibitions.Billwamangal (Pronounced Billomongol) was a 1919 Bengali silent film by Jyotish Banerjee. …

The Electric Theatre (now known as Regal Cinema), Grand Opera House (currently known as Globe Cinema) and Crown Cinema (now known as Uttara Cinema) were all owned by Madan Theatres.

His films were marked by a high degree of technical sophistication, facilitated by his employment of experienced foreign directors like Eugenio De Liguoro, Camille Le Grand and Georgio Mannini. Such expertise was complemented by grand sets and popular mythological storylines which ensured good returns. Many of these films were versions of earlier popular theatrical forms. Liguoro directed Nala Damayanti (1920) and Dhruva Charitra (1921), Le Grand directed Ratnavali (1922), and Mannini directed Savitri Satyavan (1923). Patience Cooper, one of the early stars of Indian Cinema, acted in many of the movies produced by Madan Theatres. Patience Cooper Patience Cooper (1905–1983) was an Indian film actress. …

Madan also took the initiative in obtaining the film rights for works of stalwarts of Bengali literature like Bankim Chandra Chatterjee and Rabindranath Tagore. Madan Theatres produced films like Bishabriksha, Durgesh Nandini (1927) and Radharani (1930), based on Bankim Chandra’s works. Giribala (1929) was based on Tagore’s work.

Whenever we are entering the web, we all have a fear of virus, spywares and hacking. To get out from this nightmare we use different antivirus and firewall for our security purposes.
I have used many antivirus software and test their performance, power, resource usability, update frequency.
At the very beginning I’m just remove the name of Norton, as my own opinion Norton sucks; it uses a high resource and after installation the performance of my system decreased.
From the last two years I’m using Eset NOD32 version 2.7 and I’m satisfied with its performance. It is very powerful and rich with features. The update option is there and it can be scheduled as you can also schedule the system scan. There is 4 different modules for threat protection along with the antivirus, AMON- for file system monitor, check files at their runtime; DMON- MS Office document monitor, check the MS documents such as word, excel etc.; IMON- Internet Monitor, monitor every page you open and warn you if found any threat or spywares. It uses low resource compare to other antivirus softwares. But it is not free.
In between I install another antivirus software named Comodo Antivirus. It is totally free. Comodo is mainly popular for their Firewall which is really a good product and free. The antivirus software is in BETA mode, still It works fine to detect and remove the viruses. It is also reach in features. It has a option of HIPS, first time you open any program, it wile ask for permission if it is not in the safe list database of Comodo, i.e, if you are opening a word document, it will ask to allow executing the winword.exe file. There is a option to submit the file to Comodo lab directly and they will test and mail you the result. There is also a choice to disable this option as it may be irritating to you to allowing all the programs. This option I didn’t found in any other antivirus software. And the main feature is Its resource consumtion, you dont believe it uses minimum resource, which is lower than NOD32.

Now choice is yours; If you are looking for a free antivirus and you are using a system of low processor and RAM, then go for Comodo, otherwise NOD32 is the best.
