A hostname is the name of a server, computer, or device on a network. You may come across a scenario in business that requires a hostname change. You might also ask yourself why you would need to change your hostname. The most common situations would be due to a domain name change, a business course change, or because you simply thought of something better.

VMware virtual machines (VMs) function like physical servers. The hard disk space is where the operating system (OS), applications, files, and other information lives. However, VMware virtual disks have storage options beyond that of physical servers.

It is essential to know what storage option is right for your business. Whether you are storing your files locally or using off-server storage solutions like object storage or block storage, they all have great features depending on your business needs. To help you choose, we will explore block storage, its basic architecture, and how it functions.

Object-based storage provides a cost-effective, scalable, and durable storage solution for substantial amounts of data. In addition, it adds levels of scalability and efficiency for vast quantities of data that block storage cannot achieve without sacrificing durability and performance. First, let’s look at what object storage is and how it works. Then we’ll review some benefits and use cases.

Creating forms in React or ReactJS can require a significant amount of code, depending on what you need and how you want to manage each form field. As a result, developers are always on the lookout for tools that make their lives easier. One such tool is Formik in React. Forms in React using Formik do a lot more with a lot less. We will discuss what Formik is and why you should use it for your web and mobile web applications. 

System administrators use several devices for managing their server environments. For example, Mac users who work in their native Unix environment are familiar with using the terminal to SSH into their Linux-based servers. However, when using a Mac to log into a Windows environment, the task is different. 

Web application developers are often looking for effective ways of managing state in their applications. State management is an essential part of developing JavaScript (JS) applications, especially React and React Native applications. MobX is one of the many tools available to React developers for state management.

A web robot’s primary job is to crawl or scan websites and pages for information; they work tirelessly to collect data for search engines and other applications. For some, there is good reason to keep pages away from search engines. Whether you want to fine-tune access to your site or want to work on a development site without showing up on Google results, once implemented, the robots.txt file lets web crawlers and bots know what information they can collect.

Cybersecurity is at the forefront of every conversation for web professionals, agencies, and the companies that host them. User data proves valuable, and attackers are doing everything possible to access it for their gain. As a result, it is increasingly advantageous to detect vulnerabilities and threats and deal with them proactively by implementing an intrusion prevention system (IPS).
