Yes, installing of XAMPP would be definetly easier. I am not sure though if it is production worthy. I am not sure - so people, correct me if I am wrong - but I thought I read it some where that XAMPP was intended for testing environment only and they recommend us not to use if for actual live server that would be accessed by the public.
Well, I'm sure alot of you have looked at "review" sites for paid hosting, finding a good
"reliable" host. The truth is, these hosts may be dodgy crap.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=V8PidNJLrek After you've watched the video you'll know what I
mean. I stumbled accross this video on someones blog so I decided to watch it. It exposes web
hosting review "top 10" hosts. These sites don't go by best quality, best price, best resources,
most reliable and those things, it goes by how much a host pays to get in it. Also by affiliates.
It pays to do some resear...

Zodm Image Hosting They have some helpful links at the bottom, and nice image hosting. My favorite
feature is that they e-mail you the URLs of your image. And i checked them out. They won't SPAM
you, or spyware you. It's totally safe. And you don't have to register. Just put down your
e-mail on each image you upload, and they'll send it to you. Please let me know if you use
them....
Is it just me ? I see very few Java Hosting Providers compared to the ones with ASP and PHP. Agreed
Java is the first choice in upscale environments, however being open and free, I thought I would
bump into many cost friendly Java Hosting providers, but in vein. It seems Microsoft still rules in
low end market. What should we look for from a Java Hosting Service Provider ? I have listed my
priorities in descending order. Please comment. 1) Look at the file storage and band width
requirement. 20 MB disk space is decent enough size to start with. Band Widths provided by ...
I recently bumped into a friend of mine who is hosting his web site from home. And he does not have
a static IP at home !!! How does this work 1) You take a dynamic IP service at home (DSL / Cable /
Forget Dial up). Set up a Computer to run all the time hosting your web application. What a beauty,
you can play around with your site any way you wish ! 2) Sign up with a Dynamic DNS service provider
who normally give the service for free. For example (www.dyndns.com) 3) Choose a domain name from
DNS provider and then attach your subdomain name to it. For example you can ch...
Well, i've been thinking, and i'm sorry if this thread has been posted before so if it has
then please feel free to delete it. Now to business; well you know there are normal hosting services
such as Astahost for example. Astahost and many other hosting services provide a limit amount of
space and bandwidth and maybe unlimited MySQL databases. Well here's the thing; e-mailing
services such as Yahoo and Hotmail, must need alot of both space and bandwidth if they want to
keep their e-mailing services alive. This is because they need alot of space for storing...
As with most public school systems, Internet is provided by a state funded organization. They also
usually provide free unmetered bandwidth and disk space for website hosting. Not a bad deal!

Admin: This may not be in the right catagory but i could find anywhere better for it to go so i
guess that might be an issue to address I am soon about to get paid hosting, dont worry - its
computinghost. Could someone tell me about connecting domains to sub domains. When i get the
hosting it is going to host for a few websites that i am producting for income. So i want them to be
all with their own domains and some of them will have subdomains. But where does it all original. At
the moment i have astahsot hosting so its organicbmx.asthost.com and when i get paid host...
The very first time I bought my first domain from register.com, I was so excited. With the poor
funtionalites, I had to built my own domain server at home. After a painful study, finally I could
add A name or C name of my domain. What's the next? Because I used cable model, my ip changed
very often. I had to update my ip very often, too. I couldn't update it anywhere and anytime,
and I had no idea about the dynamic DNS. Finally, I gave up. Then I understood the service from who
sells you the domain is very important. But it changes after I find the DNS hosting ...
I've scoured the net over, but I still haven't found a proper website which offers free
hosting with a decent space, PHP, CGI, mySQL and a control panel, and all the goodies. one site,
Global Web seemed to offer decent features at first, but when I wasted 3 hours uploading Post -
Nuke, it didn't work cause the website disabled certain features which prevented the site from
working properly. Will i face this problem with astahost also? I hope i am not disappointed...

For those who doesn't download much, why not let your computer host some things to share to the
masses on the internet. It's a good way to learn about NATs, DNS, DMZ, firewalls, port routing,

us what they really are, without having to refer to stacks of manuals and HOW-TOs and what nots.
