| Microsoft and Sony to collaborate on game-streaming technology together Posted: 16 May 2019 01:22 PM PDT Microsoft is helping Sony on its next game console - or at least the game-streaming service that will be running on it: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida today announced their partnership and the pair’s plans to work together on game-streaming and artificial intelligence. The cornerstone of the partnership is Microsoft’s Azure cloud technology that currently powers a huge number of web applications and streaming services - which both Sony and Microsoft will continue to explore in the future. “Under the memorandum of understanding signed by the parties, the two companies will explore joint development of future cloud solutions in Microsoft Azure to support their respective game and content-streaming services,” Microsoft said in a blog post today. “In addition, the two companies will explore the use of current Microsoft Azure datacenter-based solutions for Sony’s game and content-streaming services.” The enemy of my enemy is my friendWhy is this happening? The short answer is that Sony is looking for help developing new technology for its cloud gaming service PlayStation Now and Microsoft knows a thing or two about cloud data centers. Moreover, although Sony and Microsoft have always been at ends when it comes to gaming hardware, the two now face a larger foe in the game-streaming arena: Google Stadia. The worry is that, when it arrives, Stadia could usurp Sony’s throne and smother Microsoft’s Project X Cloud service before it gets off the ground. That’s what this partnership is trying to prevent.
According to the Director of Games Research & Lead AR/VR Analyst at IHS Markit, Piers Harding-Rolls, the partnership is about putting differences aside to create a more competitive product. “While Sony with its PS Now service is the biggest cloud gaming operator globally with 36% share of the $387 million world cloud gaming market in 2018, it is exposed in terms of cloud infrastructure and service delivery,” Harding-Rolls said in an email to TechRadar. “For Sony to scale its offering in a similar way promised by Microsoft with Project X Cloud and Google with Stadia, it needs to partner to compete.” Faster services, better hardwareThat said, while the cornerstone of the partnership clearly seems to be Microsoft’s Azure platform, the two companies will also be working together on AI developments and new semiconductors to be used in enterprise business solutions.
In an example listed in Microsoft’s blog post, pairing Sony’s semiconductors with Microsoft’s AI tech could “provide highly intuitive and user-friendly AI experiences” in new devices. Though it’s unclear what kind of devices those would be, and which company gets to release them. "We collaborate closely with a multitude of content creators that capture the imagination of people around the world, and through our cutting-edge technology, we provide the tools to bring their dreams and vision to reality,” said Kenichiro Yoshida, president and CEO of Sony. "Additionally, I hope that in the areas of semiconductors and AI, leveraging each company’s cutting-edge technology in a mutually complementary way will lead to the creation of new value for society.” ...just don't expect a Microsoft PS5 out of thisWhat Microsoft and Sony are making clear here is that - even though they'll pool resources for cloud gaming infrastructure research - the pair will continue to work separately on their own gaming hardware. What that means is that the PS5 will still be developed and produced entirely by Sony and the next Xbox will be made entirely by Microsoft but both could be using the same server infrastructure for their respective game-streaming services. And, considering what Google has planned with Stadia, Sony and Microsoft are going to need all the help they can get.

| Americans overestimate their understanding of internet security Posted: 16 May 2019 01:21 PM PDT The number of consumers creating a website to have their own online presence is on the rise but a new survey from Google has revealed that many people drastically overestimate their understanding of internet security and online safety. After introducing the “.app” top-level domain last year as a more secure alternative to “.com”, Google Registry partnered with the Harris Poll to conduct an online survey of 1,002 adults ages 16-24 and 1,001 adults over 25 living in the US about creating websites and online security. The survey shows that website growth is on the rise with 20 percent of respondents having created a website and 48 percent planning to create one in the future. Over half (65%) said that they would consider using domains other than “.com”.
When it came to online security, 55 percent of respondents gave themselves a score of A or B when the survey results paint a much different picture. Almost all (97%) got at least one question wrong on a basic six question security test and only 23 percent were able to correctly identify a link with https as being the most secure. HTTPS vs HTTPGoogle has been trying to push the idea of HTTPS everywhere for some time now as part of its goal to make the internet a more secure place and in its survey it tried to gauge consumers' understanding of the concept. Of those surveyed, 42 percent didn't realize there is a difference between using http and https in a web address. Even more surprising was the fact that Americans aged 16+ would not check for an “S” on a website where they are entering personal information even after being told that “S” means secure connection. Web owners though are making more progress moving to HTTPS and 89 out of the top 100 websites on the web now default to HTTPS. Google is doing its part as well by offering free SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt to help users protect their sites and Google Registry's domain extensions including .app, .page and .dev require that all registered domains use HTTPS connections.

| Bruins vs Hurricanes NHL live stream: how to watch the 2019 Eastern Conference Finals online Posted: 16 May 2019 01:02 PM PDT The 2019 NHL Playoffs are reaching the business end of things and we’re at the point where the Eastern Conference Finals are decided to see who will play for the 2019 Stanley Cup. You can follow our guide to getting a Bruins vs Hurricanes NHL live stream regardless of where on Earth you may be. The Boston Bruins defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-2 to earn their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals while the Carolina Hurricanes easily defeated the New York Islanders with a 4-0 sweep. Now the two teams will play one last best of seven series to decide which team will go on to face the Western Conference champions for a shot at the Stanley Cup. Neither team has reached the conference final stage in some years with the Bruins last making an appearance in 2013 and the Hurricanes doing so in 2009. Will the Bruins continue to dominate the Eastern Conference Final or will the Hurricanes make a comeback and turn their chances around? Whether you’re a Bruins fan, a Hurricanes fan or just watching the ice hockey to see which team will get their shot at the Stanley Cup this year, we’ll show you how to live stream the Bruins vs Hurricanes in the 2019 NHL Eastern Conference Final from anywhere in the world.
How to watch the the 2019 NHL Eastern Conference finals online from outside your countryIf you live in the US, Canada or UK and want to know how to catch a 2019 NHL Eastern Conference Finals live stream, then keep scrolling and we’ll tell you your best viewing options. But if you can't watch because you're not in your home country and so your coverage is geo-blocked then we can suggest a clever alternative (and no, it doesn’t involve finding some dodgy feed on Reddit). Using a VPN - or Virtual Private Network - you can change the IP address to one in a different state or country which does have the stream so that you can watch the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs from anywhere in the world. The process is very straightforward…
Watch the NHL Eastern Conference finals in the USAll of the games in the Eastern Conference Finals will be shown on NBC and NBCSN (but the Stanley Cup Finals will be shown on just NBC). For cable subscribers this shouldn’t be too difficult but if you’d prefer to watch the games online or on your mobile devices, NBCSports will have live streams of the games on its website or on the NBC Sports app. You will need to provide your cable credentials to gain access to these streams but you could always setup a digital antenna to watch NBC over-the-air for free. If you’d rather not sign up for a premium cable subscription just to watch the Stanley Cup and playoffs, we recommend going with one of the many TV streaming services available as they give you access to the channels you need to watch hockey without the high cost. For your convenience, we’ve listed all of the streaming services with the channels you need to watch the NHL playoffs below.
- Discover our pick of all the US's best sports streaming sites
Watch and live stream Bruins vs Hurricanes in CanadaIf you live in Canada and want to watch the NHL playoffs on TV, then Sportsnet has you covered. The network’s TV coverage will be available on Sportsnet, Sportsnet 360, Sportsnet ONE and CBC. However, if you’d prefer to live stream the games on your computer or mobile devices you can do so by logging in using your cable credentials on the CBCSports website or on the CBC Sports app on Android and iOS. If you’re not a cable subscriber, we recommend choosing one of the streaming services above if you just want to watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs (although some may require US registration details). However, if you’re also a big Canadian Hockey League fan, Sportsnet has its own streaming service available called SNNow for just $20 a month that shows over 300 NHL games as well as NHL, NBA, MLB, CHL, WWE and more that might be worth checking out.
Live stream the NHL playoffs in the UKUnfortunately for hockey fans in the UK, the little known Premier Sports is the only way to watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs on TV. To get access to the Premier Sports 1 & 2 you’ll either have to sign up through Sky for £9.99 a month or £99 a year, Virgin Media at £9.99 a month or with the network’s own Premier Player at £9.99 a month. Premier Sports does have an offer where you can get the first month free using the promo code FIRSTMONTHFREE - ideal for the whole remainder of the 2019 NHL season. On the other hand you could try one of the streaming services listed above. And don't forget that you can connect with a VPN if you want to watch this coverage but find yourself outside the UK when the games are on.
How to get an NHL live stream in AustraliaIf you're an ice hockey fan in Australia and want to catch these games (usually starting at 10.00am AET), there are plenty of options on TV and online. If you have Fox Sports, then you'll want to turn to channel 509 for the ESPN2 channel. Watching on a mobile device is really easy, too thanks to ESPN Player. Or you can live stream NHL action via the Kayo Sports streaming service, which features no lock-in contracts and also includes access to over 50 sports, both live and on demand. Kayo Sports Basic Package costs $25 per month and allows users to stream across two devices simultaneously. Alternatively, the service also offers a Kayo Sports Premium Package, which provides three concurrent streams for $35 per month. The Foxtel Now and Kayo Sports apps means you can access this from your chosen device wherever you are (although you'll need a VPN if you're taking that abroad).

| Asus ZenFone 6 release date, price, news and leaks Posted: 16 May 2019 12:13 PM PDT Update: The Asus Zenfone 6 is now official. You can read our first news of the phone here, and we'll have our first impressions on the device soon. Today's the day - the Asus ZenFone 6 is being announced today (May 16) at 11AM PT / 2PM ET / 7PM BST, or 5AM AEDT on Friday 17, and we'll be reporting live from the event. While the ZenFone 6 might not be on your radar it probably should be, as it looks set to offer high-end specs and features likely at a lower price than rivals. Ahead of the announcement, some things have already been confirmed by Asus – we know for example that it has a top-end Snapdragon 855 chipset – while a number of other details have been rumored. You’ll find everything that we know and suspect about the phone below, including information on when you might be able to buy it and what it might cost. Cut to the chase
Asus ZenFone 6 release date and priceThe Asus ZenFone 6 is being announced today (May 16), so we’ll know all about it very soon. Want to tune in? Here's how to watch the live stream. Of course, that’s not necessarily when you’ll be able to buy the phone, but it’s likely to go on sale within a couple of weeks of that date and there’s a chance it will be made instantly available. As for what it might cost, the only rumor there comes from ITHome, which claims it will start at NT$19,990 (roughly $645/£495/AU$930) for a version with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It apparently rises to NT$23,990 (around $775/£600/AU$1,115) for a model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and tops out at NT$29,990 (approximately $965/£750/AU$1,385) for a version with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Of course, we wouldn’t expect a direct currency conversion, but that suggests this will be a reasonably expensive phone, while still probably undercutting the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Huawei P30 Pro. Asus ZenFone 6 news and leaksAs noted above in the price section, there’s talk of three Asus ZenFone 6 models being launched – one with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, one with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and one with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. That’s just a rumor for now, but what we know for certain is that the ZenFone 6 will have a Snapdragon 855 chipset, as a teaser tweeted by Asus includes an image saying as much.
Image credit: Asus The image, which you can see above, also lists a 3.5mm headphone port, a notification LED, a ‘smart key’ and ‘triple slots’ – likely for two SIM cards and a microSD card. On Instagram meanwhile, an Asus executive posted Morse code which, according to GSMArena, reveals that the phone will have a 5,000mAh battery and a dual-lens rear camera, with 48MP and 13MP lenses. That 5,000mAh battery claim has been made more obvious in a subsequent teaser from Asus which you can see below. This one also includes a clearer look at the phone, highlighting the lack of bezel at the top. These aren’t the only ZenFone 6 teasers either, as previously the company posted another image (below) which shows the outline of a phone that seemingly lacks bezels, a notch or a punch-hole, suggesting the Asus ZenFone 6 might have an all-screen design.
Image credit: Asus The teaser also reads “Defy Ordinary”, which suggests the phone could have an unusual design or features. There’s no shortage of leaks either. According to a listing on AnTuTu for example, the ZenFone 6 has a 1080 x 2340 resolution screen, 48MP cameras on both the front and back, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, as well as running Android 9 Pie. We’ve also seen leaked images possibly showing the phone. Both sets were shared by Sudhanshu Ambhore, with the first ones being case renders posted on SlashLeaks. You can see that there’s a dual-lens camera on the back, but also a clear notch on the front, which we weren’t expecting based on teasers. However, it’s possible that more than one model will be launched, as both a ZenFone 6 and a ZenFone 6Z have been mentioned by the source. It would make sense for the company to launch both, as there’s both a ZenFone 5 and a ZenFone 5Z. Confusingly though the second, newer set of images from the source shown below also supposedly show the standard ZenFone 6, yet show a completely different design, with a slider mechanism for both the selfie camera and the speakers – this is more in line with what we’d expect from the flagship, whatever it launches as. Making matters even more confusing we've also now seen leaked images from Roland Quandt (a reputable leaker), which show a different design again, this time with an all-screen front and a camera that can swivel from the back to the front. This is the most recent leak and the one that looks most in line with official teasers, so we'd say this is the most likely design - though again, there might be multiple models with different design. Questions about the design aside, if the rumors pan out, then along what we already know for sure about the ZenFone 6 it sounds like it could be a truly high-end handset in most ways, though the screen resolution could be slightly disappointing. But then this probably won’t cost as much as most flagships. We’ll know for sure soon.

| Asus ZenFone 6 has a flippable camera so it doesn't need a notch Posted: 16 May 2019 12:09 PM PDT The Asus ZenFone 6 is the latest flagship phone from the brand, and it's bringing a full front screen thanks to a flippable camera that avoids the necessity of a notch. Instead of having separate front and rear cameras, you can just flip the camera around when you want to be able to take a selfie or enter a video call. We recently saw this feature in the Samsung Galaxy A80, and it's just as intriguing in this phone. It's a unique way of avoiding a notch that is a completely different technique than the pop-up camera we've seen on the OnePlus 7 Pro. That notch-less display is 6.4-inches with a resolution of 1080 x 2340. That equals 406 pixels per inch. A bold choiceUnder the hood is the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset paired with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM, depending on which version you go for. You'll have the choice of either 128GB or 256GB of storage too. That camera is a 48MP paired with a 13MP, which is almost surely high enough quality to share on your social media. The camera blister sits flush with the phone when it's facing the rear, so you won't have to worry about breaking it off. The other big highlight of this phone is a 5,000mAh battery, which will almost certainly offer day-long battery life and perhaps even beyond that. We've yet to learn the exact release date for the Asus ZenFone 6, but we know the base model is priced at $499 (about £390, AU$720), which will cost you a lot less than most other modern flagships. We're live at the Asus ZenFone 6 launch in Valencia, so you can expect to read our first thoughts of the phone soon – be sure to check back!

| Businesses need to do more to protect data, UK says Posted: 16 May 2019 12:00 PM PDT In today's increasingly connected world, keeping our digital footprint private is growing more important and more challenging according to new research from Kaspersky Lab. The cybersecurity company surveyed 2,000 adults in the UK to discover that they believe there is not enough business or state protection currently in place to protect their personal data. Of those surveyed, 41 percent think that businesses should do more to protect their personal data including passwords, addresses and bank account details from hackers while over a quarter think that there is currently not enough state support in regard to data security and cyber-protection.
Keeping secrets safeWhether it is a password, bank account details or even revealing photos taken at university, everyone has a multitude of secrets that they need to keep safe online. Kaspersky's survey even revealed that over one-in-ten (12%) of respondents in the UK have actually been so concerned following a high-profile data breach that they have shut down one or more of their social media accounts in response. Despite the prevalence of these almost daily data breaches, only 34 percent of respondents have strengthened their passwords and only 43 percent admitted to having up-to-date security protection on all of their devices. Principal security researcher at Kaspersky Lab, David Emm provided further insight on the survey's findings, saying: “We have become a society built upon digital secrets, with those secrets becoming commoditised and traded on the dark web. There is more that businesses can and should do to help protect their customers – including security solutions that significantly mitigate the risk of a successful attack, running fully updated software, performing regular security audits and performing penetration testing. However, there is also much that consumers can do to protect themselves. That includes strengthening their passwords and protecting all their devices.'

| VPN services reject Russian government requirements Posted: 16 May 2019 11:02 AM PDT Earlier this year Russia's internet censor demanded that VPN providers comply with local laws or face a ban and now the deadline has expired and 12 popular services have refused to cooperate. While most of the VPN companies are removing their servers from the country, Kaspersky Secure Connection is the only company that has complied with the Russian government's requirements. Russia has introduced stricter internet laws which require search engines to delete some results, messaging services to share encryption keys with security services and social networks to store their user's personal data on servers within the country.
However, VPN services are helping the country's citizens get around these restrictions by allowing them to establish secure internet connections to reach sites which have been banned or blocked. RoskomnadzorRussia's telecommunications watchdog Roskomnadzor has asked the owners of 10 popular VPN services to join a state IT system that contains a registry of banned websites. By linking to the system though, VPN companies would prevent their users from being able to reach websites which have been blocked or use services, such as the encrypted messaging service Telegram, which have been banned. According to Roskomnadzor, it sent notifications to NordVPN, Hide My Ass!, Hola VPN, Openvpn, VyprVPN, ExpressVPN, TorGuard, IPVanish, Kaspersky Secure Connection and VPN Unlimited, giving them a month to comply. If the VPN companies in question decide not to comply with the obligations stipulated by Russian law, Roskomnadzor said it may decide to restrict access to VPNs throughout the country.

| Huawei announces Mate 20 X and foldable Mate X as UK 5G products Posted: 16 May 2019 11:01 AM PDT While 5G has been available in countries like the US and South Korea for a while now, the UK is still decidedly 'low-tech' in comparison. That's going to change when 5G launches in the UK on June 3, and Huawei has just announced its first 5G phones in the UK – a 5G version of the massive phablet Huawei Mate 20 X first released in late 2018, and the yet-unreleased foldable Huawei Mate X. At a London event on May 16, Huawei officially launched the two products, and gave a presentation on its 5G hardware position. The launch event is ongoing, and we'll update this article if Huawei drops any additional news.
The Huawei Mate 20 X 5G is a 5G version of the Huawei Mate 20 X, the big battery gaming model in Huawei's Mate 20 series released late in 2018. It's different in two major ways – it supports up to 40W supercharge, instead of 22.5W, and you'll be able to buy an M-Pen stylus to work with it, similar to the S-Pen in the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and other similar devices. The Huawei Mate X is a foldable phone that we first saw at MWC 2019 in February, which we're hoping to see released in the second half of 2019. We were expecting it to be Huawei's response to the Samsung Galaxy Fold, but with that phone delayed indefinitely, it's currently unclear which handset will launch in the UK first. There are a few confirmed 5G phones that'll launch alongside the first UK 5G networks, such as the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, which Samsung has confirmed will launch on June 7. As of writing both EE and Three have announced they'll stock the Huawei Mate 20 X, although we expect we'll hear about the Huawei Mate X's suppliers once we find out its release date. TechRadar will be reporting on the UK 5G networks live when they launch, and hopefully we'll be able to test the Huawei 5G phones at the same time, so check back then for our analysis on the future of 5G.

| Trump order bans US firms from dealing with Huawei Posted: 16 May 2019 10:15 AM PDT In a move that will likely add fire to the growing trade war between the US and China, President Trump has declared a “national emergency” to protect US communication networks. The President's executive order gives the federal government the power to bar American companies from doing business with foreign suppliers that could pose a threat to national security such as the Chinese firm Huawei. The order authorizes the commerce secretary to block any transaction involving communication technologies built by companies controlled by a foreign adversary that puts US security at “unacceptable” risk or poses a threat of espionage or sabotage to US networks.
The decision to block foreign suppliers from providing their technology to US firms over security concerns has been in the pipeline for almost a year. According to one official, the National Economic Council had blocked the move for months but finally dropped its objection once trade talks between the US and China reached an impasse. Trump's executive orderPresident Trump's executive order did not go as far as to name any companies or countries specifically but it will likely do the opposite of improving relations between the US and China. The US has tried repeatedly to convince its allies and partners in Europe to bar Huawei's technology from being used in their 5G networks to no avail but an official ban may be able to convince them otherwise. The order is broad in nature and does not apply to any technology specifically but instead it covers a wide range of information communications technologies. However, according to officials and analysts, this could lead to legal challenges from companies who believe the order is overly broad. The commerce secretary will have to develop an enforcement regime under the new order and they would also be permitted to name companies or technologies that could be barred. The order would also permit the secretary to control the timing and manner of how US companies would cease using equipment from barred foreign suppliers.

| Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is a ridiculously fun ride down memory lane Posted: 16 May 2019 10:00 AM PDT Crash Team Racing first sped onto the PlayStation in 1999, giving Crash Bandicoot fans the chance to experience the zaniness of Naughty Dog’s characters on the racetrack. Now 20 years later, and following the success of the Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy, Activision has decided it’s time for Crash and friends to rev up their engines once more in the remastered Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. But Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled doesn’t simply include the original CTR racetracks, instead encompassing the neon-clad courses of Crash Nitro Kart and karts from Crash Tag Team Racing. So whichever Crash racing game sparks the nostalgia in you, it’s been catered for. Nitro nostalgia
Nostalgia is definitely at the heart of CTR. While the games have been remastered into glorious 4K, with the modern additions of online competition and leaderboards, CTR still manages to feel right. Having played Crash Team Racing religiously as a child, there was definitely hesitation in whether Activision would be able to recapture that ‘cereal in front of the TV on a Saturday morning feeling’, as it were. Was it ever going to feel as good as it did? The answer is yes, it most certainly did.
Rip-roaring through the fluorescent twists and turns of Electron Avenue while a techno beat blares, firing rockets at every Ripper Roo and Coco that dares cross our path, is the epitome of nitro-fueled fun. Somehow we managed to remember the tricks and shortcuts from the original games. Jump up and down to get the TNT box off your head - it’s muscle memory. It didn’t make us any better but losing continually to others partaking in the online mode wasn’t infuriating, we just wanted to go again. Let’s do Sewer Speedway next, then Papu’s Pyramid, if we’re feeling spicy then Clockwork Wumpa… We’re a glutton for punishment. However with modern technology comes the issue of collision detection or, more correctly, that it’s actually improved. So actually targeted (and hitting) an opponent or ramming your way through a Nitro crate means you need to be pretty spot on - similar to the issues players encountered with the N.Sane Trilogy, but livable once you get to grips with it. We’ve grown up and so have games, so it’s time we stop trying to cheat the system. Competitive crash
We only got hands on with the online competition mode of CTR Nitro-Fueled, which seemed to allow up to eight players to take part at a time. But who are your options? There were 12 at our time of playing including Crash, Coco, Pinstripe, Pura, Polar and more, each with their own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to attributes such as acceleration and handling. You can then choose which car you want to throw dust in the face of your competitors.
This is where customizations are due to come into play, but we didn’t get a look at any of those during our playtime. However, Activision revealed the cosmetic customizations (for your character and cars) will be earned through Adventure mode and challenges, with the player collecting in-game currency to spend in the pitstop. Although, there was no elaboration on whether players can pay real-life money for this in-game currency. At launch the game will include modes such as Adventure, Time Trial, Battle, Versus and Arcade. So if you’re more of a fan of couch co-op or single-player then don’t worry, there’s a mode for you. Rip-roaring remaster
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is everything we hoped it would be. It takes the original games and turns them into how we remember them in our mind’s eye - although they most certainly did not look 4K. Driven by personality, chaos and a touch of Nitro, CTR Nitro-Fueled cements its place as a party game for the whole family. There’s nothing we want more than to grab a copy, head to a friend’s and try out some split-screen action over a couple of drinks. Perhaps more importantly, CTR is a breath of fresh air in an industry that is so often plagued with hot takes and toxicity. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is just good ol’ fashioned fun and never pretends to be more than that. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled releases on Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch on June 21.

| Best Linux web hosting services of 2019 Posted: 16 May 2019 09:45 AM PDT Linux hosting is everywhere. Whether you're looking for a simple shared website hosting account or a powerful dedicated server, the chances are that you'll be offered a Linux-based option first. In many cases, you might not care. If your hosting needs are simple, you'll probably choose an account based on the allocated web space, bandwidth and similar features – the operating system is so far down most people's priority list that often it's not even mentioned in comparison tables. But if you're an experienced user, know more about Linux, or you perhaps need to build a technically complex website where you have full control over everything, it's a different story. You might want to choose your preferred distro or control panel. You could need more control over the server and its components. Hosts may throw in all kinds of goodies to get you started – a firewall, mail server, private DNS – and offer quality support to keep your site up and running. Every web host has its own idea of what makes a great Linux package, but we've listed five of our favorite providers to point you in the right direction. Keep reading to find out more.
InMotion Hosting is a professional Linux web host which delivers high levels of power and control right across its range. InMotion's shared hosting includes many beginner-friendly features, for example – free website migration, a bundled website builder, regular backups – but that's just the start. More experienced users will be happy to see support for MySQL and PostreSQL databases, PHP 7, Ruby, Perl and Python, SSH access and more. There are interesting touches wherever you look. You don't just get the option to have WordPress, PrestaShop or Joomla preinstalled, for instance – InMotion throws in WP-CLI to enable managing multiple WordPress installations from the command line. It's a far more capable product than you might expect, considering prices start at $5.99 (£4.30) a month for the two-year plan. It's a similar story as you upgrade. Optional self-managed VPS hosting – from $19.99 (£14.30) a month for the initial term – gives you a choice of OS and a firewall, but after that, you're able to install, optimize and configure the server however you like. Even InMotion's managed VPS hosting still gives you root access for considerable low-level control. For the operating system, you get to choose from CentOS, Ubuntu or Debian. If you encounter some setup issues, the Launch Assist feature gives you a minimum of two hours with an InMotion tech support person to help you solve any problems.
Every Linux host claims to offer the best possible technical support, but separating the experts from the pretenders isn't always easy. One way to identify the most knowledgeable providers is to check their high-end products. You won't get the same level of support if you're buying a basic shared hosting package, but just knowing that level of expertise is available somewhere in the company can be useful. SiteGround is a great example. If the company's standard hosting products aren't enough, it can build enterprise-level solutions from scratch, and SiteGround's website lists some of the technologies it supports: custom private clouds, smart use of Linux containers, replication between databases, and in-depth expertise in WordPress, Drupal, Nginx, Apache, PHP, MySQL, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Redis, Solr, Memcached and more. This is clearly a provider that knows what it's doing. Home users won't get the same level of support, of course, but even SiteGround's shared hosting plan delivers more than you might expect: free Let's Encrypt SSLs, cPanel and SSH access, Cloudflare integration, unlimited emails and databases, HTTP/2-enabled servers, free daily backups, and 24/7 technical support by phone, chat and a ticket system. Not bad at $3.95 (£2.95 for UK) a month plus tax for the initial term, $11.95 (£8.95 for UK) afterwards. Ramping up to a VPS-like Cloud Hosting plan gets you a very well-specified CentOS system. MySQL 5, PostgreSQL, 5 PHP versions, HHVM, Apache, Nginx, Exim mail server, a private DNS server setup and Iptables firewall are all preinstalled and managed by SiteGround. Prices start at $80 (£48 for UK) a month plus tax. Opt for a dedicated server and you'll get high-end extras like Git integration and performance-boosting Nginx-based cache options for WordPress, Memcached and HHVM. You probably won't want all these features – maybe you only need a few – but they do provide a strong indicator of the company's technical expertise. If you're looking for a provider that can support your site and help it grow, SiteGround could be a wise choice.
Linux hosting is available from just about everyone, but anything less than a dedicated server is often fully managed by the provider (they set up, manage and maintain the OS and all its components for you). That's great for beginners, but more experienced users might be frustrated by the lack of features and control. Hostwinds' unmanaged VPS packages allow you to take complete charge of your workspace. You can choose from a range of operating systems, including CentOS, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Debian and Fedora. You can tweak and set up the operating system however you like, configure your own backup scheme, and more. Unmanaged packages bring responsibilities, too. If there's a missing update or some mystery software issue, you'll be the one who has to fix it. But that shouldn't be too intimidating for Linux users, and many elements of Hostwinds' packages remain simple and easy-to-use (site management via cPanel, automated WordPress and other installs via Softaculous, and so on). Even better, as you're not paying for management, Hostwinds gives you a 50% discount on every package. Normal managed Linux VPS packages range from $10.99 (£8.5) for 1 CPU core, 1GB RAM, 30GB disk space, 1TB traffic, up to $526.99 (£404) for 16 cores, 96GB RAM, 750GB disk space, 9TB traffic – but the unmanaged range runs from $4.99 (£3.60) to $328.99 (£249.50) - currently there is a 53% discount on managed packages and 10% for unmanaged. There's no long-term contract required, so you can try the service for as little as a month to see if it works for you.
Part of the appeal of Linux hosting should be the level of control you get over your working environment, but this doesn't happen with every provider. Often you're presented with a standard base environment – typically CentOS and cPanel – with no standard ability to choose anything else. Liquid Web has been providing quality VPS and dedicated hosting packages for years, and one reason for this success could be its flexibility. Whatever you're after, the company offers in-depth low-level control over your server specifications. You're not stuck with a single version of CentOS, for instance. Liquid Web offers CentOS 6 (optionally with CloudLinux) and 7, as well as Debian 8, Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04. The CentOS 7 images can include cPanel or Plesk, and plans are available in a mix of self-managed, core-managed and fully-managed variations. There's even more power over some supplementary features. While other hosts might throw in a standard backup plan, Liquid Web enables choosing how many daily backups you'd like to retain, or it can squeeze as many backups as will fit into a defined amount of disk space. Both options are charged at a very reasonable $0.12 per GB per month, so you only pay for whatever you use. However your server is configured, Liquid Web's excellent support is on hand 24/7/365 to resolve problems as quickly as possible. And we do mean quickly: if, say, there's a hardware failure, the company promises it will be replaced within 30 minutes of the problem being identified. What's more, Liquid Web backs up these promises with an impressive service level agreement. If the company doesn't respond to an initial helpdesk ticket within 30 minutes, you'll be credited with 10 times the amount they missed it by, and there are similar clauses to cover you for power outages, network failure and more.
Choosing the right Linux host can be difficult, especially if you're a hosting newbie and unsure of which features you might need. One option is to gain some experience by signing up with a flexible budget host like OVH. The company doesn't have the best support and we wouldn't recommend it for business-critical sites, but you do get a huge amount for your money and it's a very cheap way to learn more about your Linux options. Do you need a wider choice of operating systems, for instance? OVH VPS plans support Arch Linux, CentOS 6, CentOS 7, Debian 7, Debian 8, Debian 9, Fedora 26, Ubuntu 14.04 Server and Ubuntu 16.04 Server, along with Kubuntu 14.04 Desktop if you need a user interface. You're not restricted to cPanel as a website manager, either: OVH also supports CozyCloud, Plesk Onyx, Vesta CP and Virtualmin. OVH says you can have WordPress, Drupal, Joomla! and PrestaShop pre-installed, conveniently, although there's no mention of a general Softaculous-type one-click application installer. Still, with full root access you should be able to manually set up whatever you need. What's really impressive here is the price, which starts at just $4 (£2.99) per month, excluding the VAT. OVH isn't the best Linux host by any means, but it does provide a very cheap way to experiment with different distros and control panels to find out what works for you. It’s well worth a look for Linux newbies or anyone who feels they need more hosting experience before handing over the big money.

| Best web hosting resellers of 2019 Posted: 16 May 2019 09:25 AM PDT Website hosting is normally a service you'll buy just for your own use, but sometimes it pays to think bigger. If you're running your own business, for instance, perhaps as a developer or web designer, offering web space as an extra service to your customers could make a lot of sense. Many web hosts offer reseller schemes where you can buy a block of resources – disk space, bandwidth, a number of cPanel accounts – to divide and sell in any way you like. Costs can be very low, sometimes just $1.40 or $2.80 a month per account, so you could bundle hosting in other business products with very little impact on your bottom line. There are some significant issues to think about. For example, reseller hosting may look cheap, but that's because you'll probably have to be the first line of support for your customers. If they encounter any questions or technical difficulties, you’ll be their first port of call. You can pass anything complicated onto the web host, but they won't deal directly with clients for you. You will get more help in other areas. Many reseller accounts come with a free licence for WHMCS, an industry standard application to manage and automate hosting setup, billing and support. You're usually able to customize the control panel with your own branding, and the best hosts have special reseller tutorials and support to help keep your business running smoothly. There's no single way to identify the best reselling plans, because this varies depending on the products you're hoping to sell. Your first step should be to identify web hosts who provide the range of plans and support you need, and then compare whatever reselling schemes they offer. To help you understand what to look for, we've listed five interesting reseller products from some top industry names. Check them out to get a feel for the features you should look for, and the prices you might expect to pay.
[Great exclusive offer from Inmotion Hosting - Get a free upgrade to the R2000S plan when you buy the R1000S plan by TechRadar's #1 rated Web Hosting provider] InMotion is a capable web host which offers a vast range of products and services, including one of the most comprehensive reseller hosting plans around. These start simply and with minimal restrictions. The R-1000S plan costs $13.99 a month initially ($29.99 on renewal) for 80GB of disk space and 800GB of bandwidth, but there's no limit on the number of cPanel accounts you can create, and everyone gets unlimited (within the available disk space) subdomains, email addresses, databases and FTP accounts. Buying through TechRadar means that you will get an automatic upgrade to the R-2000S slice with 50% extra bandwidth and storage space. Ramping up to the Reseller VPS-1000 plan gets you 4TB bandwidth, 4GB RAM and free SSL. There's still no limit on the number of cPanel accounts you can create, and the service is priced at $41.64 a month for the first term, $54.99 on renewal. While this is a little more expensive than some, InMotion offers plenty of extras and benefits. There's a free licence to WHMCS, the industry standard package for managing your client's billing and support. A bundled eNom Domain Reseller account allows selling top-level domains and SSL certificates, and white labelling support allows you to create custom hosting packages, use anonymous name servers and apply your own branding via customizable themes. Perhaps InMotion's real advantage is its excellent support, something that will be very important when you're trying to solve problems for your clients. In our experience the company offers a high quality service, although there's no need to take our word for it: the exceptional 90-day money-back guarantee means there's plenty of time to check it out for yourself.
Calculating disk space requirements is a challenge for every hosting reseller. Many plans allocate less than 1GB per user, but will that really be enough, and what happens if you need more? Tsohost's Reseller Hosting plan aims to help you sleep easier by providing unlimited storage and bandwidth for up to 100 sites. That's not bad for only $44 (excluding VAT) a month. Unsurprisingly, there's a small catch: your customer's 100 sites are limited to a total of 1,000,000 page views per month, or an average of 10,000 each. We suspect that's less likely to be an issue than disk space, as most personal and small business sites won't get close to this limit, but it's something to bear in mind. The plan doesn't come with a WHCMS licence, or any other assistance with billing, marketing or support. The company bills you for the reseller plan, and it's your responsibility to bill your own customers. If that's not an issue for you, Tsohost does offer some compensations. The core service is a decent one, including Let's Encrypt SSL support for all your customers, daily backups – not something you always see with reseller accounts – and a single free domain name for your own business, if you need it. Tsohost also allows customizing your client control panel with your own branding, and even supports custom nameservers to hide any trace of the Tsohost name.
Many hosting reseller plans are focused on the most basic and underpowered products. That may keep the price low, but the lack of features will also make it more difficult to sell the plans later. SiteGround's reseller plan is a little more ambitious. Every user gets 10GB of disk space and cPanel site management, and there's unlimited bandwidth, email addresses, databases, and FTP accounts. Highlights include Spam Experts-based spam filtering, free Let's Encrypt SSL, daily backups and an integrated Cloudflare CDN. These accounts cost more than the very low-end competition, but they're hardly expensive, with prices starting at $3.5 a month over a year. There's more good news in SiteGround's pricing structure. Other companies often ask you to pay upfront for the resources to support perhaps hundreds of clients, whether you need those resources right at the outset of your venture, or not. SiteGround allows purchasing plans in much smaller numbers – five to get started, 11 or more to get the best price – and these are only activated when you sell them. If you buy 20 plans now, for instance, they'll never expire. Whether you sell them in days, weeks or months, each one will still get you a full year of hosting from the date the account is launched or renewed. How you manage and run the business is up to you, but SiteGround offers a simple control panel to review your accounts (there's a tutorial here), and a white label option and private DNS upgrade ensures you can use your own branding everywhere.
Established way back in 2002, Krystal is a UK-based company which offers various simple reseller accounts for its shared web hosting. Krystal's product has a decent specification. A mid-range block of 50 cPanel accounts comes with 100GB of storage, and you get unlimited bandwidth, MySQL databases, mailboxes and subdomains, a bundled website builder, free SSL certificates, plus weekly and monthly backups. The bundled WHM (Web Host Manager) and WHMCS billing system allow you to manage your customers’ cPanel accounts, automate billing and more. These are all white label versions, too, which means customers will only ever see your branding. Krystal's Trinity plan is probably the best value, giving you 50 cPanel accounts with 100GB storage for $35 a month. There's a single free domain if you need one (that's one domain for the entire plan, not per cPanel account), no setup fee, and you're protected by a 60-day money-back guarantee in case something goes horribly wrong. The Infinity plan allows unlimited cPanel accounts and doubles the storage to 250GB. We're not sure whether that's worth the $82 a month price tag, but it's available if you need it.
As we've seen, reselling web hosting generally involves some significant work in customizing your plans, marketing and selling products, and providing technical support to your clients. GoDaddy's reseller program gives you much more assistance. Signing up gets you a pre-built customizable store with your own branding (there’s no mention of GoDaddy), bundled credit card processing to handle orders, and afterwards, customer service via GoDaddy's own teams. You're able to resell all the major GoDaddy products, including domain names, hosting, SSL certificates, managed WordPress plans, GoDaddy's Website Builder, and more. The plans provide some help with sales and marketing. Your store can use a range of customizable promotions, including giving discount prices to specific customers, and detailed sales reports help focus your efforts where they'll deliver the best results. The Basic reseller plans gets you all this and a 20% discount off GoDaddy's retail prices for $8.99 a month. But the Pro reseller plan offers a 40% discount for only $14.99 a month, well worth the extra unless you have very few customers. There are no commission rates or fixed margins – you can set your preferred price for anything in the range. GoDaddy's Reseller Profit Estimator is an online calculator to help you understand how much money you could make, and whether you would be better off with the Basic or Pro reseller plans. The GoDaddy approach doesn't give you the freedom you'll benefit from with other resellers, where you're completely free to divide up resources in any way you like. But it's also very easy to set up, and if you want a simpler way to get into reselling, it could be a wise choice. You might also want to check out our other website hosting buying guides:

| The cheapest Dyson sales, offers and deals for vacuum cleaners in May 2019 Posted: 16 May 2019 09:20 AM PDT Dyson vacuum cleaners have become some of the most highly-sought after items in the home thanks to their excellent build quality, suction power and eye-catching design. So where are the cheapest Dyson sales happening right now? We've got you covered as we've just updated our guide to the best Dyson vacuum cleaner deals with our price comparison technology searching through the best retailers for the best prices. With some of the older Dyson's being put out to pasture now, we've highlighted the most recent models, along with some of the older ones we still think are worth a look when the price is right. Dyson's cordless vacuum cleaners with a pole attachment are the most popular options nowadays, so that's what we've covered first. And while all of the V-series models we've mention can also be used in handheld mode by removing the pole, there is a bespoke handheld Dyson called the V7 Trigger we've highlighted too. After that, you'll find our picks of the best remaining traditional upright Dysons if you prefer the raw power and always-ready options provided by being able to plug-in directly to the mains at home. Dyson isn't stopping with just vacuum cleaners too, the company has also made one of the world's top rated hair dryers too. Take a look at the latest Dyson hair dryer prices too if you don't believe us.
If you're after the very best cordless vacuum cleaner on the market, the Dyson V11 Absolute can't be beaten as the UK company has somehow made the V series' Air Watts (AW) suction even higher than the V10s. There's even a fancy LCD display, because apparently Dyson is getting too fancy for mere coloured lights. This improved tech makes it the most expensive Dyson on the market though and it's a bit heavier than the older model and takes longer to charge too. But if you're after that top-level performance on carpets and hard surfaces, this is the one for you. If you're willing to compromise though, you could save a lot of money by checking out the V10 or older models available as those prices are likely to keep dropping now.
The Dyson V11 Animal has probably caught your eye today as it's a fair whack cheaper than the V11 Absolute. Let's find out why. The V11 Animal is just as powerful, but doesn't come with a soft roller cleaner head, which is excellent on hard surfaces as it's able to pick up fine dust that the regular roller version might miss. Otherwise, the UK attachments are the same as those found on the V11 Absolute. So if you're not too bothered about the diminished (but still pretty great) performance on hard surfaces as you need the vacuum for carpets more anyways, you may as well save the cash by opting for the V11 Animal.
This was the top end cordless Dyson until the V11 came along, but given the massive difference in price, this might be the most sensible option for most buyers. Compared to the V8 (there was no V9, number fans) it has improved suction, better battery and a larger dirt bin. The V10 marks the first time we had a genuine alternative to a corded vacuum cleaner. In the box you'll find a direct drive cleaner head, soft roller cleaner head, docking station and a charger. The Absolute also comes with a selection of quick-release items like the combination tool, mini motorhead tool, mini soft dusting brush and the crevice tool.
Only available in the UK. For the extra cost at launch (£50 more) it could be said you didn't really get enough to justify the extra cost of the V10 Total Clean over the Absolute. Since then though, prices have naturally dropped and you might be able to get the Total Clean for a price closer to the Absolute's if the extras appeal to you. Extra attachments aside, the V10 Total Clean is the same excellent cordless vacuum cleaner as the Absolute. You'll still find a direct drive cleaner head, soft roller cleaner head, docking station and a charger in the box. The quick-release attachments are different though. Here you're getting a mattress tool, an up-top adaptor (for on top of cupboards etc), an extension hose, combination tool, mini motorhead tool, mini soft dusting brush and the crevice tool.
It's all in the name here, the Dyson V10 Animal is specially designed to suck up all those annoying pet hairs from your carpets and furniture. Where other vacuums often seem to just push the hair in deeper, the V10 Animal really dives in to get them out. Tools included with the V10 Animal include a combination tool, crevice tool, mini motorised tool and a soft dusting brush. What you don't get in the V10 Animal package (hence the cheaper price) is the soft roller brush which is especially good on hard surfaces as it provides more complete coverage and gathers finer dust and dirt particles that the regular roller might not pick up. So if you have more hard floors than carpets at home, you may want to take a look at the Absolute models instead.
Just a few short years ago, the V8 was the ultimate version of Dyson's cordless rechargeable vacuum cleaners. If you get lucky, you might find them with a big discount compared to the V10, but we often find the prices a bit close for our liking. If that's the case when you're taking a look, we'd opt for the extra power on the V10 instead. The Absolute model comes with a soft roller head (great for hard floors) in addition to the regular one.
Like the V8 Absolute above, we're finding prices aren't really dropping low enough on the V8 Animal compared to its newer V10 counterpart to justify opting for the older version. When prices are this close we'd prefer the significantly better suction on the V10 Animal instead. If prices do drop to an appropriate level the V8 cordless vacuum cleaner is a lightweight vacuum cleaner that's still very capable despite its lower power. The main difference between this and the Absolute above is the lack of a soft brush roller head, which is great for picking up finer dirt on hard surfaces. If you're using this more for carpets though, then you might as well save the money with the cheaper V8 Animal version.
The Dyson V7 Trigger wipes the floor with handheld vacuum cleaners as you know them. You know which ones, those weedy little things that look more like an anteater's nose than a vacuum cleaner and barely make hair balls wobble never mind removed. So if you're ready for a whopping 100 Air Watts of suction, check out the V7 Trigger. These are best suited for getting to those hard to reach places like doorframes as well as cleaning up dust from hard surfaces of removing pet hair from the sofa. If your home doesn't have any carpets, this is a very viable option instead and can be easily stored in smaller places regular vacuum cleaner wouldn't fit. Naturally, all of the cordless vacuums mentioned earlier on this page allow you to remove the tube for a handheld mode too, although they're significantly more expensive than these Dyson V7 Trigger prices.
As you've seen with the other Dyson vacuum cleaners on this page, they're far from cheap. For the most part at least, as the Dyson Light Ball is less than half the price of the newest cordless vacuum cleaners. Sure you've got a power cord on it and upright vacuums aren't ideal on the stairs, but if you want a powerful cleaner with the Dyson name on it, the highly manoeuvrable Light Ball comes highly recommended thanks to it's 90W of suction power that can handle carpets and hard surfaces alike. It has a larger storage bin than the cordless Dysons too so you certainly won't need to empty it anywhere near as often. While not as powerful as some of the more expensive upright Dysons we feel this one offers the best value for money given the sharp price increase on the others.
Looking for something lightweight but not bothered about going cordless yet? The Dyson Small Ball is one of the lightest upright vacuum cleaners in Dyson's range at 5.5Kg and has a collapsible handle allowing you to store it in smaller spaces than most uprights. The Small Ball is also available in an 'Animal' variant that comes with a turbine tool for getting stubborn pet hair off the furniture.
So you're after the beast huh? The 120AW suction power rating should pick up anything you and the kids can throw on the carpet. Hell, those carpet tacks better look out! With a 2.18 litre storage bin you'll be hoovering for ages before needing to empty it out and the 15m reach should let you get around most of the house without having to swap plugs.

| Jaguar I-PACE: pushed to Lands End and back again, all with an app Posted: 16 May 2019 09:00 AM PDT Want to drive your car all the way to the tip of the country on electricity alone? There's an app for that. Of course, what we didn't count on was a hay bale fire in the road, no charger at our destination and doing it all without a mirror. The electric adventure is very much here and now. The plan was to take the all-electric Jaguar I-PACE from London, over 300 miles, to Lands End in Cornwall. Can that be done quickly using fast chargers? Can you just hop in and go without a tap-to-pay electric charging station card? And can the car actually do all that while you stay comfortable? These were a few of the questions that pushed us to test this car to its long range limits. When we got in the car, we thought this electric Jag would banish fuel cars to the past, but we didn't expect to never look back literally. But as we adjusted the rear view mirror it dropped out of the car – no looking back at all then. It spent the rest of the journey in the glove box. While this was a minor fault, it planted the seed of doubt about an already relatively new type of car. We expected the range meter in an electric car to be inaccurate but now obsessed over always having plenty of spare charge and, it turns out, with good reason.
Image credit: Luke Edwards The electric adventure planSo we got the Polar Instant app, which helps you use the BP-owned Chargemaster UK network of juice-up stations. The app has a handy map that lets you filter by charger type. So, based on the trip distance, the plan was to stop near Stonehenge to top up at the Holiday Inn, Salisbury. That was about a 75-mile journey and we started out near fully charged, which the car said was 235 miles. On arrival we had 58% charge left in the car (nearer the 100-mile mark). The goal was to see if you could buy an electric car like this, but still go on long trips where no distance would be too far. With a claimed I-PACE range of up to 292 miles on a charge of the 90kW battery, this seems possible. The UK has plenty of charging stations dotted along main roads and these can all be easily found using the Zap-Map app. But we wanted to use fast chargers only, to take advantage of the I-PACE 150kW CCS port that claims to give you up to 168 miles of charge in one hour. And we wanted to do this using only an app to pay. The issue was that on our route down to the south west there are only regular 50kW CCS chargers. In fact in all the UK we could only find one or two 150kW stations up round Leeds way.
Image credit: Luke Edwards Is it easy to charge the I-PACE long range?Thanks to the wonder of the Polar Instant app, we found the charging station easily, and the detail was so great that even finding the space where the charging bays were located was a doddle. We opened the app, plugged in the 50kW CCS charger cable, which is attached to the unit much like a petrol station, then waited for it to start. And waited. And needed to pee, so hopped and waited. In the end we had to call the number on the unit, wait on hold for 10 minutes (hopping) then speak to someone who helpful reset the charging station. After a long reboot we were up and charging which meant a run into the hotel to use the loo, grab a hot drink and check some emails. An hour later we emerged to a nearly fully charged car with well over 250 miles in the battery tank and a 150 mile journey ahead to Bovey Castle in Dartmoor.
Image credit: Luke Edwards Unexpected power drainsAfter a steady journey past Stonehenge and onward into the depths of Devon a lorry full of hay caught light in front. The hay fell and the road was ablaze. The road was shut behind and in front as fire engines and support crews arrived. It was clear this was going to be a long hold up. In all it took a good three hours. Ideal time to test the rear seats, which were comfy to lie down across and look out of the clear roof to the skies above. Comfy enough, it turns out, to sleep on too. The car was left off to save battery as it was now on 148 miles. Luckily there was no need for the heater to be running. That time allowed for some number-crunching which revealed the car was off by about 10 miles per 100 miles on the range. There was no air con on, or lights, only music. The roads were quite undulating to be fair but even at the speed limit the range should be a bit more accurate than that. Perhaps the car was erring on the side of caution and saying it was depleting faster than it actually was. Either way, the Bovey Castle destination only had a 3kW charger, so it would take a good overnight 12 -hour charge to get back to full, so keeping some in the tank seemed prudent in case a dash to a nearby charging station was needed. We arrived with just 81 miles left in the tank and a charger problem.
Image credit: Luke Edwards The long nightAfter a three-hour delay, one hour charge wait and several hours on the road, the site of the Bovey Castle hotel – as you wind up a country lane with a golf course backdrop – could not be more welcome. The stylings of the former castle fitted perfectly to compliment the I-PACE. In fact, it was amazing how an old building and an ultra modern electric car could look so perfect next to each other. What wasn't so perfect was the charger – it was broken. We had to settle for a wall socket, which the car reckoned would take 27 hours to get to a full charge. We had a good 14 hours overnight, so plugged it in and hoped for the best. The hotel kindly put on a massage at its Elan Spa and a stunning three-course dinner at the triple AA Rosette winning Great Western restaurant, which was all well needed after that journey. When investing in an electric car, bear in mind there may be more costs needed to help make the experience more pleasurable. That said, this was a great way to travel, it makes you plan ahead a bit more and slow down your deadlines so you're not in a rush. All in all that makes for an ideal holiday mood on arrival, which helps enhance the enjoyment of the hotel more. In fact an early morning stroll around the stunning grounds was something that happened where it might not usually, since this meant a bit more charging time before setting off. With 170 miles in the batteries, it was time to head south.
The end of the countryTo get from Dartmoor to Lands End directly is a 111-mile journey. Despite a spare 79 miles in the car, previous experience taught that doing it in one was a risk. Also there are no high speed Polar Instant charging stations down at the bottom of Cornwall, so the range needed to be enough to get there and a bit of the way back. A stop at the iconic Headland Hotel (as featured the movie The Witches, from the Roald Dahl book) was needed for a high-speed charge. That wasn't far out of the way and meant a nice stroll along Fistral beach was an option. Once again the need to charge meant spending a bit more time on the beach to make sure the car had even more juice. The result was a forced relaxing into the situation which ultimately leaves you feeling more calm when you get back on the road. It really is a great way to drive long-range – it feels like a pleasure and all part of the trip rather than a chore to be gotten out of the way. The irony of a new type of car reviving an old style of driving was not lost. The roads to Lands End were hilly, rain-filled and busy. Despite a lot of stop-starting, the destination was finally reached and with plenty of charge to spare. It's funny though how things like headlights, wipers, heaters and music all become extra battery drains in your mind when you're driving to a tight range.

Going back to Newquay was a faff, so instead the car was left in the Penzance Sainsbury's, which offers free charging on a 3kW station. That meant a long slow charge to get enough power for the trip back up to a charger the other side of Dartmoor. As a result the day was spent walking to St Michael's Mount and working in a great coffee shop with a fantastic view. None of that would have happened if it wasn't for the need to stop and charge. Technically, the car was filling up as we were working and actually making money. What car do you know that makes you money to fill up?
Image credit: Luke Edwards The last legThe final run meant a stop at a farm shop just past Exeter before pushing on to Salisbury for a late night charge and a sandwich there. Technically, in terms of range, the journey could be done without that stop but after realising there is a lot of uphill climbing on the way back it was a good choice to plan a stop. It also meant discovering a great little farm shop with mini diggers for the kids to play in. Plus it meant chatting to another charging station user and feeling a human connection you're not likely to get at a regular petrol station. When home the worry of running out of power was gone and the car could be pushed a bit. It's fast. Really fast. Like 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds fast. All that torque kicking in at once flings you back into your seat and the handling, unlike a certain American all-electric car, is actually really good for the size of the vehicle. In short it's a lot of fun to drive, more so than most petrol cars, in fact. So you can do long journeys in an electric car and you can do them for cheap. The charging station costs a few pounds (or dollars) each time and you do have to plan more time for stops, but the stops are good. They make you relax, enjoy the trip and – it turns out – learn to enjoy life more by slowing down. But, in this case, that's slowing down without the need to sacrifice super speed bursts when you want them. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Google knows what you want: lots more ads in its apps Posted: 16 May 2019 08:48 AM PDT Google has announced something that'll bring a sigh of annoyance to anyone who uses its mobile apps: a raft of new and exciting ads. According to The Verge, these will include 'gallery' ads, which you can scroll through (think the shopping ads on Facebook that present all kinds of products you didn't know you didn't want), ads on Google's mobile homepage, and ads interspersed between news stories in the Discover feed. YouTube will get some attention too, with new ads slipped in between recommended videos.
These new ads are only destined for mobile screens and are only being rolled out in a few locations for the time being, but if you're one of the 'lucky' few chosen for testing, you'll definitely notice. May I have your attention please...So far, much of Google's advertising is text-based, but the company says gallery ads will become widespread later this year. It's in keeping with the more visual nature of Google search results, which now include thumbnails of movie posters, game covers, actors and musicians when you search for something related. Unlike Facebook's gallery ads, Google's efforts are also likely to be relevant to your interests, rather than strange recommendations for water bottles, cat carriers and rain ponchos. So that's a plus.

| Best small business web hosting for 2019 Posted: 16 May 2019 08:44 AM PDT Every business needs a website, but finding the right website hosting package isn't always easy. Many plans are targeted primarily at home users, and don't have the power that businesses need. Take email, for instance. We've seen hosting plans offer as few as five email addresses for a website, and with inboxes limited to a few hundred megabytes, that’s potentially a major issue for any business. Be sure to check out the email specs of any hosting plan before you sign up. An SSL certificate is a must-have these days for any professional or business website, but these aren't included with every plan. Fortunately, they don't have to be expensive. Many hosts now offer free SSL certificates from the Internet Security Research Group's Let's Encrypt project, and although web stores might need something more, these are perfectly adequate for standard sites. Business websites can't afford to fail – ever – so reliability is key. Choose a Virtual Private Server (VPS) or dedicated hosting plan, if you can afford it, to avoid the hassles of shared servers. Look for support that can be accessed at speed with telephone and live chat available, as well as emails and tickets. You'll probably want a plan that includes automated backups, too, but that's another area where you'll need to check the small print: backups are often an optional extra. Think about an upgrade path, too, especially if you're starting with a basic shared hosting plan. If your business grows then your website needs might also expand, and it will make your life much easier if your chosen host has the add-ons and extras to cope. There's a lot to think about, but fortunately, there are also some excellent hosting providers around that understand exactly what small businesses need. In this article we've highlighted five web hosts who have something to offer everyone, from the smallest home business to demanding corporate users.
Shared hosting is slower and less reliable than VPS and dedicated plans, but it's still perfectly adequate for many simple websites, and the best plans will handle all the main business needs. DreamHost's shared hosting plan scores well on the fundamentals. There are no limits on bandwidth, emails or MySQL databases. Your site is secured by a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, and preinstalled WordPress allows you to get a quality site up and running in an afternoon – plus SSD storage as standard will keep performance high. Handy extras include the ability to host unlimited domains from a single account. And in a nice touch, DreamHost doesn't just offer a free domain name with each shared hosting plan (except the monthly plan): there's free privacy protection, too. If you've registered a domain without that, and been inundated with emails and phone calls from ‘website designers’ and assorted scammers, you'll know how valuable that can be. It's a strong all-round package, but if you need more, DreamHost also offers everything from managed WordPress and WooCommerce, to VPS, Dedicated and Cloud Hosting plans. Billing is flexible. You can avoid long-term contracts by signing up for monthly billing, which costs $10.95 (£7.80) a month for shared hosting. Choose the three-year plan and the price drops to $5.95 (£4.60) a month, though. Don't be put off by the longer term: DreamHost products are protected by an exceptional 97-day money-back guarantee, so there's plenty of time to test the service for yourself.
Cloud hosting is a smart technology which spreads your website content across multiple devices, improving redundancy and speeding up load times. It's an interesting idea which has many business benefits, but if you choose wisely, you can try it out for less than the cost of some shared hosting products. HostGator's Business Cloud, for instance, delivers on the business basics with support for unlimited websites, unmetered storage and bandwidth, and a private SSL certificate. As this is a cloud plan, three mirrored copies of your website are spread across multiple devices. If there's a hardware failure, your website can immediately be switched to another server. All HostGator cloud plans give you shared access to a defined level of system resources (CPU time and RAM). Another benefit of cloud hosting is that you can purchase more of these and see the benefit immediately, with no downtime or time-consuming migrations required. The high-end features continue with a distributed Varnish caching setup to accelerate the loading of your static content, freeing up RAM and CPU time for producing dynamic content. Despite all this functionality, HostGator's Business plan is reasonably priced at $9.95 (£7.10) a month for up to 36 months, $17.95 (£12.80) on renewal. Optional extras are also good value, with CodeGuard's daily backups available for $2 (£1.45) a month, and SiteLock's malware scanning service is only $1.67 (£1.20). We've seen other hosts charge two or three times as much for similar functionality. While we've highlighted HostGator's cloud plans here, as an interesting improvement on regular shared hosting, the company also provides managed WordPress hosting, good value VPS packages, dedicated servers and more. There really is something here for everyone.
Most business hosting products are focused on power and functionality above ease of use. That's not a problem if you know what you're doing, but small businesses don't always have the technical expertise to manage this kind of hosting, and it could take quite some time and effort to figure out how the service works. GoDaddy Business Hosting is a hybrid product which aims to offer the dedicated resources and similar performance to Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting, with the simplified cPanel-style management of a shared hosting service. GoDaddy's baseline Launch plan gives you 2GB RAM, one CPU and 60GB of storage, for instance. These resources are solely for the use of your website, which should give you improved and more consistent website performance, no matter what's going on with other sites hosted on your server. Restrictions elsewhere are kept to a minimum, with support for unlimited websites, databases and emails, and unmetered bandwidth. (‘Unmetered’ means there's no fixed limit, but GoDaddy reserves the right to complain if your site is hogging resources.) There's a SSL certificate thrown into the mix, and GoDaddy has included a one-year, one-user subscription to Microsoft Office 365 Business Email. GoDaddy's Enhance plan is available for $34.99 (£18.99 for UK site) a month for the first year, renews at $49.99 (£37.99 for UK site) per month. The Grow plan gives you 3 CPUs, 6GB RAM and 120GB of storage for $44.99 (£25.99 for UK site) a month, renews at $69.99 (£52.99 for UK site) per month. The high-end Expand plan (which is for resource heavy sites) increases RAM to 8GB and storage to 150GB, with 4 CPUs. The price is - $59.99 (£37.99 for UK site) a month, renews at $99.99 (£74.99 for UK site) per month. Overall, the range is a little more expensive than some VPS products, but if you're looking for easy setup and simpler website management, GoDaddy could be worth a look.
Basic shared, cloud and similar hosting plans are easy to use and can deliver good performance, but they also limit your control over the server environment. You can't choose to install Windows, for instance, or do anything else that would affect other websites hosted on the same server. Virtual Private Servers (VPS) are isolated environments which you can tweak, adjust and customize however you like. As a bonus, you also get CPU time and RAM allocated just for you, improving both performance and stability. Liquid Web's starter VPS product gives you two CPUs, 2GB RAM, 40GB SSD space and 10TB bandwidth, for instance, and is priced from $59 (£42) a month. Some hosts have cheaper VPS plans, but that's often because specifications have been trimmed to the bare minimum. Liquid Web takes a more honest approach, with even the most basic plans including items that are often chargeable extras elsewhere. For example, that $59 gets you built-in backups, Gigabit transfers, unlimited sites, a dedicated IP address, CloudFlare CDN, DDoS protection, antivirus, antispam, cPanel/WHM or Plesk Onyx, and more. All VPS plans are highly configurable, with Linux options including CentOS 6, CentOS 7, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian 8, and high-level plans support Windows Server 2012 and 2016. Whatever you're installing will include server management by default, which means Liquid Web will handle maintenance tasks such as operating system updates. Proactive system monitoring allows the company to detect and fix some problems before you even notice them, and speedy, responsive 24x7x365 support will help you with anything else. Factor in the 100% uptime guarantee and generous service level agreements and Liquid Web has a lot of business hosting appeal.
Dedicated server plans are the top of the standard hosting tree. Instead of sharing resources with others, you get the entire system to yourself, ensuring the best possible performance and reliability. The OVH dedicated hosting range has several benefits, and these start with its choice of data centers. While other providers can typically host your site in just two or three locations, OVH has a far more global reach, with centers available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Poland, Singapore and the UK. Hosting the site nearer to your target audience will improve performance all on its own. Configurability is another highlight. Operating systems supported include CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, CloudLinux, Gentoo, Slackware, ArchLinux, OpenSUSE, Fedora, FreeBSD, SmartOS, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2016, SQL Server, VMware, Citrix Xen, Hyper-V Server and more. Advanced options include support for NVMe, non-volatile memory-based storage which can be five times faster than SSD. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the range of functions on offer. You can get a very capable system for between $74-$137 (£56-£104) annually, and there's plenty of extra power available if you need it. If there's an issue here, it's the OVH website, which does a poor job of presenting your options. There are too many baseline server configurations, they're poorly organized, and it's hard to find what you need or figure out your configuration choices. We found our way around the product range eventually, though, and overall, OVH's extensive set of features and data centers make it a must-see for demanding business users.

| Eurovision 2019 live stream: how to watch the song contest semi-finals from anywhere Posted: 16 May 2019 08:30 AM PDT Prime the vocal cords, pull on the sequins, prepare to be fabulous. The Eurovision Song Contest is back for 2019 - the 64th edition of the annual singing extravaganza. This year all eyes are on the Tel Aviv Convention Centre in Israel after the country won in 2018 with Netta's (frankly brilliant) song "Toy". Before we get to the main event, there's the semi-finals and then we march on to the final this Saturday night - and we have all the information here about getting a 2019 Eurovision live stream. 18 acts are due to sing in the second semi-final after 10 successfully went through on Tuesday. The top ten from each will progress to join the host nation Israel as well as the "Big Five" of the UK, France, Italy, Germany and Spain, for a 26 act final event. That's where the real business really begins, with acts from the Netherlands, Russia and Sweden the early favorites to take home the trophy and the right to host next year's event. Once everyone has performed Madonna is set to take to the stage for a highly anticipated performance. Word is that she'll be performing the incredible Like a Prayer, in addition to one of her new tracks. Winners are then picked based on viewers' votes and with up to 20 votes available per song, it's important to play your part if you want to be involved. So watching the event is key and we're going to tell you exactly how you can live stream the Eurovision 2019 song contest from wherever you are in the world. How to watch the Eurovision Song Contest from outside your countryThis year the semi-final events, as well as the grand final, will all be available to watch via the Eurovision YouTube channel. This means easy access through any device that you can get at YouTube with. The downside? You'll miss out on the commentary (or perhaps that's a positive if you're hosting a Eurovision party and really like the limelight). If you're more interested in watching your home country's coverage - and there are details on watching in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, US and Canada further down this page - but you're abroad this week, then you'll soon discover that the Eurovision goodness is geo-blocked by the broadcaster. Annoying, if you take particular delight in your domestic coverage. But the good news is that there's another way to get hold of it.
How to live stream Eurovision 2019 in the UK for FREE:Good old aunty Beeb will be broadcasting the entire Eurovision Song Contest for free (assuming you have a TV Licence, of course). That means you can watch the main final via the BBC One on your TV from 8pm BST but it also means you can enjoy it online and on mobile via the iPlayer with Graham Norton as your wise-cracking host. For the semi-finals you'll need to find your way over to BBC4 where Scott Mills and Rylan Clark-Neal will be commentating. Representing the UK is 21-year-old singer Michael Rice who was voted in after competing on the BBC's You Decide selection show. He will sing a song called "Bigger Than US" which was written by Laurell Barker, Anna-Khara Folin, Jonas Thander, and John Lundvik. Outside the UK this week? Fear not, as you can follow our instructions above to use a VPN and watch as if you were back in blighty. So that means no need to miss out on Graham Norton's unique take on the whole thing. Once downloaded, installed and a UK server has been chosen, head over to TVPlayer.com for a steady, free stream.
How to live stream Eurovision 2019 in Australia for FREE:Since Australia's SBS is airing the whole final it should be easy to enjoy it on the big screen. That also means you can get all the fun online using the SBS On Demand service that works on multiple devices – ideal if you're on the go. Just remember to set your alarm if you want to watch all the singers live, as the show begins at 5am AEST. Find out more in our full guide on live streaming Eurovision in Australia.
How to stream Eurovision live in New Zealand this year:New Zealand's usual Eurovision broadcaster, UKTV, doesn't appear to be airing the event this year. But you don't need to be home in New Zealand to enjoy. You can still watch all the action online using a VPN. Check out how easy that is up the page with our handy guide. Once you've sorted that, the next step is working out how you'll get up early enough to watch it!
How to watch the Eurovision Song Contest in the US:It doesn't look like there'll be any dedicated stateside broadcaster showing 2019 Eurovision. Sorry. Luckily, there's always that YouTube coverage. Or, if you want a more thorough watching experience, grab a VPN and watch via another country's home broadcaster.
How to live stream Eurovision 2019 in Canada:This year OMNI Television will broadcast the Eurovision 2019 event in Canada. Not heard of it? It's a specialist multicultural station, so Eurovision is an obvious fit. But if you're out of Canada at the time but are still interested, scroll up to see how you can enjoy the contest using a VPN. It means you can watch everything for free from elsewhere on a tablet or phone.

| The best SIM only deal will finally be coming to an end tonight Posted: 16 May 2019 08:17 AM PDT Update: This deal was meant to end tomorrow on Friday but it looks like we'll now be seeing it end tonight...very sneaky. But, there's no point mourning its end, now is the time to jump on in and grab yourself unlimited data from Three. At a price of just £20 a month, Three has undercut the nearest competition by a fiver each and every month. We can save you the time and effort of scrolling through the best SIM only deals and tell you, nothing will touch this in terms of value - especially if you're looking for lots of data. You can see this offer in full below, but like we said above, a hurried attitude might be needed here. With the deal disappearing on Friday, May 17 there really isn't much time to get it.
Three's best ever SIM only deal in full:Why go for a Three SIM only deal?If you haven't already been won over by this amazing offer then you'll be excited to hear that Three doesn't shy away from offering up some extra incentives as well. Whether that be free exclusive prizes or extra roaming. You can see all of best parts of a Three SIM only deal down below.
Probably the only downside is that you have to commit to a whole year if you go for this offer. At £240 for an entire 12 months of all-you-can-eat data, texts and calls, we think it's still well worthwhile. But if you're a commitment-phobe who wants more flexibility to cancel, then check out Smarty's £25 per month unlimited data SIM that only makes you commit to 30 days at a time. On top of that, Smarty is offering a free month to TechRadar readers, meaning your first two months will only cost £12.50 each.

| Epic Games Store sale could steal Steam’s thunder with big discounts like 45% off Metro Exodus Posted: 16 May 2019 08:05 AM PDT The so-called Epic Mega Sale has just begun on Epic’s online games store, and whatever your views on this sometimes controversial retail outlet, it can’t be denied that this is indeed a pretty epic event in terms of the discounts available. The sale runs from now until June 13, and has interesting timing in terms of stealing thunder from Steam’s summer sale, which we’ve just heard is rumored to start on June 25. So Epic is getting in there first, with the Mega Sale offering discounts of up to 75%. That’s not all, though, because on top of whatever discount the publisher is offering, Epic is also cutting a further £10 (or $10) off all games, providing they cost more than £13.99 (or $14.99). Note that this doesn’t apply to purchases which aren’t full games, such as DLC or in-game items. Epic also clarifies that those who have pre-ordered an unreleased game will get the aforementioned £10 (or $10) discount automatically applied as a refund, so they don’t have to cancel their pre-order, and re-purchase the game. Also, if you’ve just bought a game from Epic’s store, from May 2 through to May 15, and it is now on sale, fear not as you will get the current reduced price (and any difference in what you paid extra refunded). For the exact details, you can check out the FAQ here. As you can see, Epic certainly seems to be in a generous mood, and that’s reinforced by the stepping up of its free game giveaways, with one game freebie to be made available every week during the sale (as opposed to two weeks). The first free offering will be Stories Untold, a novel sounding experimental adventure from No Code. (Although currently at the time of writing, World of Goo is free, with Stories Untold still marked as ‘coming soon’). So, which are the best games on sale right now? Here are the top titles with chunky discounts that caught our eye. Of course, don’t forget that you get £10 (or $10) off almost any game you buy (with the aforementioned caveats). So if you want to pre-order Borderlands 3, for example, even though publisher 2K obviously hasn’t discounted that title, you get 20% off courtesy of Epic. And with cheaper titles like Shakedown Hawaii, even though it only has the Epic discount applied, that means the game is reduced by 66% overall, and you can get the 2D GTA-alike for just five crisp notes.
