with this being my first website goddady's website tonight or there blog site plan seem pretty good as I do not know how to build a professional looking website nor do I have a knowledge of HTML. Are there other hosts that offer better services such as these?
Also I would want to register with 1&1 as to register privately is free but with godaddy it costs around $15 and I've heard of godaddy stealing persons domains when they haven't even expired yet i.e. familyAlbum.com?
Is it allowed for instance to register my domain name with 1&1 and host my site with godaddy?
I'm going to be extremely blunt and start off that although I'm not an unintelligent person, I'm very dumb when it comes to hosting and the lingo. So I would really appreciate the "Hosting for Dummies" version to find a good host
The closest I can show in what I am building with my partner is HERE (which claims to have had 90Million pageviews/month last year) Just basically a teen game and graphic site. It will be mostly flash games, php, various other scripts and forums.
I'm confident in saying they don't use shared hosting at least. Though what it is exactly I don't know. There is no way I'd get a dedicated server to begin with till we need it. I'm not sure what else a site like this requires (perhaps unlimited mySQL?) for a shared hosting plan. I was looking at HostMonster, Hostgator and Bluehost. I need good customer support for sure, I've had too many crap hosts in the past. I also need multiple domains (4-5)
In sum, does the shared hosting even matter at this point, or should I come back when we're in need of dedicated? I'm guessing cp usage will be the first to give out?
Hello all, I have a client who needs to host a casino site. Can anyone point me to a good place to host. The client is in the US, but the hosting would have to be outside the US.
i am now hosting my wallpaper site www.mastiwallpapers.com in ixwebhosting.com,how ever upto this time i got no problems, i need a backup assistance thats y i came, if anybody come with a nice plan with a reliable hosting without having server overload problems.
Because they already shut down one of my wallpaper site on grounds of server overloading.
I recently moved a site from one hosting company to another. I went to the registrar and pointed the DNS at the new nameservers, and set up a new ftp account to upload the site. The DNS seemed to resolve ok after a few hours, (in my browser I was seeing the new host's default home page) so I uploaded the site to the new host.
Today sometimes I see the new site and sometimes the old!
I'll be editing pages and uploading them by ftp, then suddenly I'll see a different directory structure on the remote server. Similarly I'll refresh my browser while looking at the new site and... Hey! I'm seeing the page on the old site!
I've cleared the browser cache on my machine btw.
My guess is that either a server somewhere in the path (at my local service provider?) is throwing out old cached versions of the page, perhaps when it is busy, or that not all the nameserver/dns records have updated.
Can some one suggesst CGI free host site with LWP, as my company has blocked some site & I need to refer that so will lwp to pull that page & I can view the page which is blocked

I'm a university designer trying to find hosting for a video textbook. I have about 330MB of videos framed in a single swf/html/js page.
Our course is about 300 students, and we'd expect the site to be largely dormant except for traffic spikes right before exams, when everyone will want to access the material.
We know nothing about linux images or server maintenance or anything required to use an unmanaged VPS. I'm mostly just concerned about having enough bandwidth not to upset ToS, but I'm unsure of what this actually translates to. Any hosting advice would be extremely appreciated, from specs we should look for to specific hosts. We're lost fishies!
I have plans os doing a NSFW site very soon and am trying to gather as much information about all aspects of what it takes before getting this project off the ground. I know a fair bit of what it will take and I have a web designer set up, ect but I need help picking a web host. I really dont know much about what I am looking for and what I expect the site to do (traffic wise) because it will be my first site. It is going to have videos hosted from other sites but maybe eventually in the future I may host some myself. For the time being, I need to know what do I need in a good host to handle a page that basically just has videos on it. I'm leaning towards Lunar Pages as I have some friends that use them and are satisfied but dont know what I would really need as far as basic hosting, VPS, dedicated servers ect. This part is very new to me! Can anyone give me some advice as to what I should be looking for and and recommendations? I plan on hosting from a hosting company and getting a domain from a domain registrar to keep the seperate.
I woke up this morning to find I wasn't able to access my domain based email or my website. So I figured I would check with my host, (www.hostpc.com), and I was unable to access them, also.
I had someone else from a remote location and PC check and they can access hostpc as well as my website.
I want to buy a domain from Godaddy.com and host on a free webhost, that works really great. But I don't wanna get this problem when you visit the forum ->>> mydomain.com, I want it like this ->>> mydomain.com/forum/ and forum/index.php and all that stuff, so you can visit a thread directly.
But in my experiences before, I just got the mydomain.com, even if I visited the forum or an another page. Should I put the DNS or what to get the godaddy domain to work fine with the free webhost?
I have just moved hosts, I exported my DB's from my old host and imported them OKto my new host. I then carried out a HOME FOLDER backup of my old host through CPANEL and (I think this is where I went wrong) reinstalled that backup on my new host. Now I can't access the home page on the new host, even when I use the temporary IP.
I changed web hosting company yesterday. I uploaded all the files to the new server. I checked to see if it works by looking at ip/~username All looked good so I changed the DNS to new hosting company's
Today the website is not found. DNS information is correct and I can still see my site by going to [url]
I have not cancelled my old web hosting and all the files are still there. I have no idea what is happening and I cannot get hold of my new web hosting company.

I have couple of site on a shared hosting. Now I want to move it another shared hosting. Is there a program, that can move the sites effortlessly, with a click of button or two. I have couple of mysql database. I want them to be created on my 2nd hosting company.
I have designed my own site using iWeb but don't want to publish it to .mac. I have my own domain name. If I use a host that is not .mac I lose some of the features that i have in the site at the moment, e.g, counters etc. Is it possible to find a host for this mac designed site where I can add counters and other features. I have used the iWeb design as I found it very user friendly, where a lot of the other hosting sites were complicated and you also had to subscribe before you could see what your site looked like. I also like the iweb templates.
I just want to make a little information site with about 5 pages, nothing fancy, there will just be a very small amount of traffic. What is the cheapest reliable web hosting company or package out there? I am in the U.S. if that matters.
My son's have been ordering products from a Japanese website, and I would like to take it a step further and sell some of the products here in Florida. These products vary from shoes, clothes etc.
Basically, I am looking to create a website similar to theirs (gz-b2b.com) ~sorry if links are not allowed, I am not trying to promote them by an means, just trying to follow!~
I would like to register a domain, upload pictures that are organized by a category and have a dedicated email. no online e-checkout stuff, just straight pictures & subsections.
direct me to a cost effective (sub $5/month) webhosting solution, that has a quality web builder built in so I can basically just upload pics and organize sections.
This is my first attempt at using a web hosting company. I currently use a free service from my ISP that gives me 25 MB of space for a personal web site. After only a few weeks, I have exceeded that limit and now find myself needing much more.
My personal website will contain information of a bowling league that my friends and I belong to. I plan to have many pages of data from an Excel spreadsheet included, either in a database format, or just plain html. I also plan to have several family photos and some video on my web site. I will be adding pages on a weekly basis.
I did some research and I felt I needed something like 25G of storage for all my pages containing tables and photos. Since I am not using it for business purposes, I am looking for something very basic, if that is possible.
If anyone knows a decent host that can accomodate my needs, which is simple, but requiring a lot of space, please share your recommendations. My budget is between $5 to $10 per month.
I've been using Siteground.com for a few months and they suspended my site because I was using proxy scripts. I had to remove the scripts to get my site back, but now a main function of my site is missing.
My site does not take up that much space (only 100MB), but it gets accessed frequently and especially with the proxy script it can sometimes be a burden on the server.
I need a lenient web host that allows proxy scripts and other things like CRON jobs, PHP, MySQL (with PHPMyAdmin, preferably, and multiple DBs) and email capabilities (400/hr is okay). I'm used to Linux with CPanel, so staying with the stuff I know would be best.
I need to find a reliable host that can meet these needs.
What's the best thing to go with? Is it a VPS or a Dedi?
I am currently on a shared package with a US company. However, I'd like to bring the site into the UK hosting domain, and perhaps closer to where I live.
Location in the UK isn't important.
What's the best thing to go with? VPS or Dedi? Or to remain on my US shared?
Currently at about 35GB bandwidth for this month. And the site's only been open 2 months. So will need over 200GB a month with room to expand.
I plan on starting a social networking website similar to facebook using this script: www.socialengine.net
After talking to a host gator associate he mentioned that the only way to get it up was to buy a dedicated server because they won't allow it on any of their shared plans
My question is, which host/plan would you recommend for this particular project...we won't be offering photo albums and such but are expecting quite a bit of traffic and don't want the site to slow down or crash..also, any tips for a first timer?
I've been with Bluehost for over three years. I've really not had any big problems with them. But I've learned that people usually don't have problems with hosts unless they actually have a website that has good traffic.
Well, as my main site has grown, I think I'm outgrowing my host.
I have a forum (SMF) with over 1500 members and close to 80K posts. It's got a good core of very active members. Doing well. The main part of the site is on WP platform.
Friday, I try to bring up the forum and POOF! It's not there. Just a blank screen. No error, no nothing. Call support and they have no clue, but the support guy comments out a line in one of my SMF files and the site comes back up. Don't ask me how he knew to comment out that line or anything.
Things go fine for a few days, then yesterday P.M. I start getting "exceeding CPU" errors and then a 500 error. Keep in mind, I've done nothing to my site in these days to cause any of this or any changes to even make me suspect anything.
Called support two times last night and finally was told to submit a ticket to their scripting department. I could see the PHP errors in my CP and I knew it was something wrong on their end, but no one could figure it out. Well, I haven't heard from support but my site's back up today.
I'm just thinking it may be time to consider switching. Not sure I really want to deal with that, but I'm having more errors and glitches with them in the last year.
I know HostGator gets mostly great reviews. Will my experience there be any different though?
I know lots of people here ask for web host suggestions. I could really use some guidance, not just in companies, but the things I need to keep in mind about my site in particular that would help me choose one.
