Does anyone have a recommendation for a web host, for a beginner that is, medium level , and then advanced. Lets talk

soybean · « **Reply #1 on:** July 02, 2006, 12:40:56 PM »

I suggest you avoid a hosting service that requires you to pay for a year to get started. By paying month-by-month, at least until you get some experience with a particular host and are satisified with them, you won't be locked in to something you're not satisfied with. Agreeing to a multi-month contract can result in average lower monthly cost, but you can explore that option after you get some experience with a particular host and are satisified with them.

Here's one I'll suggest: http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/. I use it and have been satisfied with it.

Hmmm, http://www.mbhosting.com/about.php says "MB Hosting launched on June 13th, 2006." That's less than 1 month and you're saying "Nothing els beats it". Would care to explain the basis of your comment?

Visit http://www.mbhosting.com/about.php and note that "MB Hosting requires is that you post our Google Adsense ads on every one of your pages." This may be fine, but at least you should be aware of that before making your decision.

unlovedwarrior · « **Reply #7 on:** July 06, 2006, 08:10:40 AM »

ummm but doesnt every free web hostong make you have some kind of ads on your pages?

soybean · « **Reply #8 on:** July 06, 2006, 08:24:23 AM »

No doubt, they do. Otherwise, how could they offer truly free hosting? If that's OK with the website publisher, then no problem. However, ad-free hosting can be obtained at fairly low cost, around $4 or possibly lower, per month.

unlovedwarrior · « **Reply #9 on:** July 06, 2006, 08:27:21 AM »

where at?? and is it a .com or .something.com like .50megs.com?

this is my football number the number of posts im at (76)

soybean · « **Reply #10 on:** July 06, 2006, 08:37:59 AM »

yoursite.com, or yoursite.net, or yoursite.org, etc. The top level domain, the letters after the dot, depend on what doman name you register with a domain registrar, a step you must take before you can publish a site. To register a domain name, I suggest godaddy.com.

I use totalchoicehosting.com for a site; I use their basic plan, which is $4/mo. For more hosting services at this price level, see http://www.findmyhosting.com/searchresults.asp?page=1&op=1&ty=1&sid=1311954

unlovedwarrior · « **Reply #15 on:** July 06, 2006, 06:56:01 PM »

im looking at http://www.3essentials.com/windows-web-hosting.asp

but im wanting to know if i can setup a forum using them?? how would i find out?

Nitro · « **Reply #16 on:** July 07, 2006, 09:33:15 AM »

You need to setup a forum using phpbb or similar.

First you need to have a domain name and then hosting, Once those are up and running you can then upload the forum.

unlovedwarrior · « **Reply #17 on:** July 07, 2006, 11:21:01 AM »

got one www.vmodeling.com

its not up yet.. but i want to use yabb.. the place i got the website supports perl so i can use yabb. so who do i go about doing so?

Nitro · « **Reply #18 on:** July 07, 2006, 12:43:56 PM »

AFAIK all you do is design the forum and then upload it to your site.

unlovedwarrior · « **Reply #19 on:** July 07, 2006, 11:46:04 PM »

AFAIK is that a forum maker thing??

Its just an acronym, AFAIK = As far as i know.

phpbb is really good though.

unlovedwarrior · « **Reply #21 on:** July 08, 2006, 08:31:35 PM »

ok im confused on how to do it? :-? i dl the php thing now how do i install it

soybean · « **Reply #22 on:** July 09, 2006, 10:27:38 AM »

With many hosting services, you simply install your forum from your website cPanel (control panel). No need to download anything to your computer. The entire installation, configuration, and administration of the forum is done via web browser access to the cPanel for installion and then to the forum Adminstration panel for configuring your forum.

http://www.3essentials.com/windows-web-hosting.asp specifically mentions phpBB as one of the features under the Starter plan right on their home page. So, I'm sure they provide a way to install from your cPanel. It's easy to do. And, why not use phpBB if that's what they provide? It's good.

unlovedwarrior · « **Reply #23 on:** July 09, 2006, 12:39:04 PM »

this is the plan i bought it uses fanstico or something

my home pages sux...

Not sure if you want comments on the homepage or not but

a) I don't like the dark backround or the red writing, It doesn't make me want to go any further.

b) There is no link to the forum, If there is no link people can't find it.

c) Its totally basic and doesn't look like it was created by someone who can use any of those programs.

If I was you I would just use a basic template, Its simple but does the job.

Not sure if this is your first time doing this type of thing, If it is then i don't mean to put you down or put you off progressing any further, Sorry if i rude, harsh, sarcastic or offensive etc, I don't mean to be and I just like to tell people exactly what i think, The same as i like others to tell me exactly what they think.

Contact the admin "Flame" to approve your account
Then he will give you security details
After you have the account approve then:

Use cpanel
So if you want to upload you site do this:
Go there \/
www.

??.mbhosting.com/cpanel
it will promt you with the login screen and enter you security details
go to Files Management
go to www folder
and upload you files there ps. dont delete anything from there that is not yours

Any are many other ways
Good luck

Insert this in your start <head> tag
<meta http-equiv="bla bal bla" content="what ever" />

so it should look like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta name="something" content="beer, fighting, sex, weed, drugs" />
</head>

unlovedwarrior · « **Reply #37 on:** July 11, 2006, 11:37:47 AM »

whats that do??

T-Chai · « **Reply #38 on:** July 11, 2006, 03:35:36 PM »

As you see the blue line

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "" target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="" target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta name="something" content="beer, fighting, sex, weed, drugs" /> </head>

you have to insert the line that is colour blue in where it is place at the top of the code document
as you see it should look like that /\

<meta name="something" content="beer, fighting, sex, weed, drugs"/>
You call it what you want
you can include the content which where you think the user is going to type the world in the search engine like i include beer, fighting, sex etc...
