A superb book on building a successful web-hosting strategy

Strategies for Web Hosting and Managed Services is a very useful and well written book and is written in a style suited to both technical and non-technical people. I have read a lot of I.T. books and can honestly say that this was one of the best I have read, certainly in regards to servers and hosting. Topics covered in the book include Web Hosting Options, Components of Web Hosting, Comparing Vendor Categories, Shared and Dedicated Servers, Colocation, Managed Services, The Dark Side of Outsourcing, Getting It Right, Risk Management, Service Level Agreements, Traffic Models, Web-Site Architectures, Caching and Content Delivery Networks, Connectivity Practices, Storage, Backup and Recovery, Security, Conenctivity Performance, Monitoring, Net Detective Toolkit, Domain Names and DNS and various resources. Buy it, I guarantee that youll save money from reading it!

Nice on the book shelf but not a bible

Nicely presented with statistics and the such like , but a world summary more than a world guide.Any core surfer is going to know about most of the places presented anyway. Also some strange choices - Israel ??! and Pernambuco ?? I lived in Brazil for six years and can definetly state that Pernambuco has the WORST surf in Brazil.Keeps you busy in the down time and the photos and oceanography info are excellent .

Excellent reference for surfers in search for the best waves

Illustrated surf world Atlas. Provides very good surfing travel tips, swell and wind statistics. Includes pictures and detailed maps.Makes you wonder you were in the other part of the World!
