I have 250-500 dollar budget to beging hosting a social network website with live broadcasting and video streaming capabilities-let's say that it will be something similar to www.livevideo.com. I need a hosting company in USA--Texas is a good place. Let's say that the first month is going to have 200 users a day, and videos are going to be high resolution.
I need to host livezilla (live chat software) . It needs php and mysql. Which host provider would you recommend? Its not running from my own server. I don't know why, but giving so many errors! I have seen people are using it ..
Our school was just notified that our school district is now paperless. School is starting in a week, and while we may have a one month grace period to get some info out to parents on paper, we need to pull somthing together quickly. It seems that what we need are the ability to post all our info on a website accessible to our school community, as well as the ability to send broadcast emails to our school community. I am with the PTO and we have lots of activities to promote, support to solicit, etc.
I have found lots of web hosting solutions. I have heard some in our district talk about Yahoo Site Builder, but have not found pro/con discussions on this provider. Can someone point me in the right direction to get some good feedback on Yahoo? There are so many options out there it is hard to know what to go with. We are looking for free to low cost options, with growth potential.
I also have not found anyone offering web hosting along with email broadcasting - is this correct? I have found some separate options for web based email broadcasting - ennect.com? Until we get our own server at our school my thought was that this would give us what we need without a lot of investment? Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction here too.
We are in need of a quick solution for now, but also want the option to ease into a long term solution - probably a server at the school providing database, web server, email server.
i have a server running RH 7.3 Plesk 8.1 and want to upgrade to new version, probably centos, are there any issues i should know about in regards to Plesk?

Even better can any one recommend someone to perform this for me?
have only done static html sites in the past, but am ready to branch out and learn php and mysql. I have watched numerous video tutorials on php,mysql, dreamweaver cs3, and how they all work together.
I have followed all the steps on the tutorials and the website works great on my local testing server, but how in the world do I get it to work live on the internet! This is probably a very stupid question but I am at the point of not caring about looking stupid. I just want to know what Im missing/ doing wrong. The website is hosted with GoDaddy, (and the domain is registered with them as well).Am I supposed to have something set up there or a different server? I have tried using ftp to transfer all files over to the domain but when I visit the domain, the php pages do not work.
Personally, I use it. I like the friendly touch of talking to someone whom responds to my questions directly.
Do you think Live Support is good for;
1. Nothing 2. Sales 3. Tech Support 4. Emergency, etc.
In my experience, Live Support has often been used for technical assistance, and while this is great if you are a one man shop, it doesnt work very well with shift tech support.
Sales is a bit more direct, but - I would personally still prefer a 'record' of the conversation that the client could point to.
Live support may have a valid use during emergency situations, however I am doubting that the personalities that actually answer these live chats can provide any authoritative answers other than 'It'll be ok'.
So, does live chat have a future in Web Hosting, in your opinion?
i want to ask you something if you know...we have the support of a small tv channel here in my area...they want to have their program live in the net....do you know any good company to give good prices of media live streaming or anything that i can see to help me....maybe some resseler plans in these??...any advices for the type of streaming...
A client has contacted me about live streaming. He wants to broadcast a live meeting over the internet so that other people can watch it.
I've never looked in to something like this - I guess I need to find some software that will let me re-broadcast the stream - ie someone at the meeting would connect to my server and stream it up to the server, and my server would then broadcast it out to anyone who is connected.
So, what sort of software should I be looking at? Are there any guides around on the internet or anything that can help me out?
I have been looking through the forum, but I have had a hard time finding much about this topic. I am attempting to broadcast live video feed on my website and I wanted to set it up so people can view the live streaming video directly on their web browser. I use mostly Windows based servers(Windows 2003 Server and XP Pro). I have looked at different video streaming programs like flash, media player, and divx, which would be the best for what I am trying to do? Computer power and bandwidth are not an issue with my current setup. If anyone has any experience or knowledge on this I would be very grateful for your input. I would appreciate any information involving any of the steps in this process from capturing the video to having users access it on my website.
I'm a web designer - not an IT guy, as such I'm not 100% on setting up servers/dev environments etc...
I'm freelance and currently working in-house for a client that has set up a dev server that supposedly mirrors their live site - its a catalogue site with loads of dynamic elements.
The dev site they've set up displays only the html, no images or stylesheets link up when i preview them in dreamweaver as they don't logically link to the page as the pages are templates drawn from various folders.
What I want to know is is it possible to mirror a dev server exactly like the live website so the scripts etc all work as they do on the live site. I'm pretty sure it is as I've worked on dev servers before but not one like this bloody mess. The IT bods here seem to think the dev server is the best that is achievable - are they right? am I missing something???
I can't really answer any technical questions apart from i think the dev server is an apache server - what do i need to explain to the IT bods to get my point across?
I just wanted to post a chat log I had with hostclear.com's live support. This was a ten minute long chat. You tell me what you think. Keep in mind that hostclear.com only has 1 package. They sell nothing other then a $3.95 cent package.
You are now chatting with 'Andrew'
Andrew: Welcome to Live Chat support, how may I help you? matt: Andrew, your 3.95$/month package can be used as a reseller account? matt: Does the cPanel come with WHM matt: hello? Andrew: Hello Matt Andrew: Please allow me some time to check Andrew: We do not currently offer reseller accounts with WHM on our shared hosting plans. matt: it says in your terms that we could resell you just won't support our clients Andrew: If you want you can resell it to anybody, but you need to take care of it as we do not support it. matt: how many ftp accounts are allowed? Andrew: Please allow me some time to check matt: You offer only one plan and you don't know the answer quickly to the simplest of questions. Andrew: Let me get that information for you. Meanwhile your patience is appreciated. Andrew: Its unlimited Andrew: You can create unlimited ftp accounts.
This thread will probably get deleted but I think that a host that is listed amongst the top ten at www.webhostingstuff.com should be told about. I am a reseller, and I was looking for a better package. I don't think that this should be deleted. This is a ten minute log.
Small live does not support having .htaccess as one of the file. I am working on a A 301 Redirect page. Is there any other way to do this without using .htaccess?
How important is this from a customer standpoint? Assuming ticket response times are under 1 hour, is Live support something that customers really want? I'm considering adding it as a support option, but want to weigh whether or not its worth it. <<Please setup signature in Member Control Panel>>
I'm using kayako live response and i have about 4 staff members using the win app right now only 2, and my WHM service status is saying that my system is using almost 100% RAM....
I have been working on an online shop locally from my machine, using Visual Web Developer and SQL server.
This is working fine, but now its at the stage were i need to show a client. In order to do this i need to upload it to our servers.
What i cant get my head round is the connection to the sql server, do i need to upload this too, or can i somehow point the connection string to the sql server sitting on my local machine...
Is it easier just to upload an sql server? how would i go about this?
Just in case you missed it, Hostnine is no longer offering live support. Live chat is sales only, and I was inform that support was only being provided by ticket
I would like to create an exact copy of my live drive on a daily basis via cron. Is there a good mechanism for doing this *without* taking the main drive offline? It seems like the two common backup solutions: dd and rsync both have issues in this area. I don’t think Rsync can create an exact mirror (including partitions) and dd looks like you need to unmount the drive(s) first.
Both drives are of identical size and installed via the ide controller.
I'm trying to stream a live video to my dedicated server then re stream it for broadcasting. I also only want this video to be broadcast-ed from my site.
also I would like to do this in windows because I'm not very linux savvy.
What's the best way to monitor apache in as close to a live manner as possible. I am hoping to get something similar to Top that would show the current number connections, maybe the URL being hit and other stats of that nature.
I know I can use mod_status (either via WHM Apache Status) or outside of it, but that has to be constantly refreshed (manually or automatically) and creates GET /whm-server-status?refresh=60 HTTP/1.1 entries that kind of skew the stats, depending on how often you refresh.
Is apachetop a solid choice? Any downsides?
Is there a better tool to have a 'live' view of apache's activities?
I tried to post this request before but my post got deleted ( I think because I was new to this forum ) hopefully this time it will get posted.
I bought a flash live chat script which require a dedicated server as they say in the script requirements but I know it would work using a VPS with root access..
The script can run on both Linux and Windows OS and needs red5 and java
according to the script designers such site with about 100 users can use about 500GB of data transfer per month but I am not sure if that is true or not as I haven't had the chance to test it.
I am donating all the expenses as a gift for my church community and looking for help and advise on the best way to host it
Not sure if I can post the name of the script here or not but if I am allowed I will do that, so you guys can see exactly what I need
Anyone know about these scripts and how much bandwidth and data they need to run lets say with 200 users
