Viacom claims Google's YouTube is profiting from piracy, but YouTube is not monetizing the traffic in question. Viacom is, but its costs for hosting are not inconsiderable, its distribution capacity is limited, and the failure to create a network of online resellers is, over the long run, untenable.

Hey guys.

I have a domain that has a hell of a lot of free space on it and in registering a new project I want to do I really don't need hosting considering the amount of space and bandwith I have left with this other site. However, I don't want to use a cloak or redirect or frames to a subdomain on my current site for the new domain, I want the new domain to point to a subdomain on my current host as if the subdomain were the server hosting my new domain. Sorry if that sounds a bit messy I'm not entirely sure how to explain myself (as clearly, I'm hoping somebody will actually know what they are talking about and help me out here).

Basically, I think I'm trying to say can I set up a new DNS on my current host for a separate domain to be hosted on, a little like if I were going to partition my hard drive?

For anybody who can decipher my confused request, my currenty hosting plan that I wish to make use of bandwidth on is godaddy economy, if this helps.

I'm wondering if the alias / DNS options may be where I can make what I want happen in the control panel, but quite simply, I'm not sure.

regarding my previous problem, i called 1and1 and they said there's no way to get my databases on the same server. whatever process creates your databases through their control panel actually goes out of its way to distribute them on different servers. the only way around this - to exceed the 100mb limit or have multiple db's on the same server - is to rent your own server on a dedicated hosting plan for a minimum of $99/month. no thanks!

so i'm going to switch hosts. i need a host that doesn't limit database sizes beyond overall storage limits, and allows ssh access even with their cheap accounts. cron jobs would be nice but aren't necessary. php5 and mysql and a few gb's of storage.

i don't want to use dreamhost because i've heard too many bad things.

Hello! I just had some questions about what web host to suggest for a couple of friends who would like to have a web site with political/science/gaming blogs for both of them to post in separately (they're taking two sides of a common issue). I'm trying to decide between WordPress or Movable Type (though I had my mind settled on WordPress) and am also seeing if anyone had any experience with the following hosting services:
Nearly Free Speech
RivalPro
Host Rocket
My friend has a domain name already, so he more or less needs a space for the actual content to go (the site has yet to be made at this point).
Thanks in advance!

As I prepare to reincarnate my computer this weekend, I go through the ritual of preperations. Hunting for largest folders, preperaring to do my first ghosting of just the C:\. I've got 3 years of crap I intend to lastly sift through tomorrow. Can you guys make sure I've sorted all data wheat from the applications chafe? You know, the standard ethos of proper backup. That stuff about seperating into two partitions, one is called C:\ and it houses Windows and Programs, and the other is home to irreplaceable precious loved data.

• Question: What irreplacable data is hidden in the registry... I should look for some specific keys. I can't back up that whole mess (~75MB) because That's the whole point, to clear out 3 years of registry crap without the knowledge of a precise computer surgeon.


Let me tell what I've done.

• I've backed iTunes ratings (extension: itl).
• I've backed Outlook Express e-mails (moved extensions: dbx to safe place).
• I've backed Address book (as extension: iaf).
• I've backed Firefox's well everything I can with (as extension: pcv with MozBackup).
• I've backed My Documents, My Music, and My Picutres (moved to another partition with TweakUI). I fastidiously kept all personally crafted data I know of in those places.
• I've listed all those little neat programs whose names I will forget.

• I don't care about Internet Explorer Favorites, they can go to hell.

hello again designer pals

i have redesigned my website. not just any redesign - i implemented wordpress as a CMS this time. it is very exciting. now, i can add and remove work from my portfolio much more easily. i am hosting all of my images at flickr, to increase traffic to both my flickr account and to my portfolio site. each portfolio piece is a wordpress "page" - which are as easy to manage as blog posts. and on that note, the site also includes a blog now. i don't plan on using it for true blogging, but for any major news updates and periodic photo displays. all of my content is managed dynamically through wordpress and it really wasn't that hard to put together. i think using wordpress as a CMS shows a certain amount of web dev credibility so that was my main motivation for using it, but it is truly way more convenient.

the visual design is not as bold as the site i currently have up, but i find it to be unobtrusive and a little moody in a good way. i have yet to feel the need to create a logo for myself so the header is very simple. i might swap out the background image randomly each time the page loads, but that will probably be too distracting. a better idea would be to change the background image once a month or so.

i'm looking for any kind of feedback - and please be as honest as possible. i'm trying to find a job in amsterdam which is what prompted this overhaul . . .

this is my current site: http://www.jessicamullen.com

this is the new wordpress site: http://www.jessicamullen.com/cms

compare and contrast? love or hate? thank you everyone.

Many of us have seen and even used a lot of those ultra cheap web hosting companies that offer so many megabytes of storage and so many gigs of traffic per-month. I don't design sites too often, but when I do, such hosting companies are fine for my clients, who tend to use the domains merely as advertising platforms and digital brochures.

Recently, I have received a client who requires a little more than that, and I need to be sure the host I pair her with can handle more than the usual "forgotten planet" traffic. Server space for images will be required, and she may or may not offer occasional streaming videos. In the event you're wondering, this project is related to 'adult entertainment,' but it's not a porn site.

I will have little problem with building the code for this client, but hosting speed and reliability is an important factor, obviously. This is somewhat new territory for me.

So, my question: considering the above requirements, I was wondering if any users here might know of a hosting company that would be more reliable than the average "here's my cat's website" grade provider. I'm trying to keep the costs low but optimize the most performance I can. Services like Bluehost or Lunar Pages and so on seem affordable enough, but can they provide a site that can load fast and reliably and handle a medium amount of traffic?

Your opinions, shared experiences or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Can Apache run under different instances, so that we can direct traffic to each Virtual Host under a different instance. Would doing so offer better security than simply using virtual hosting? One of our sites is internal, the others are public. We want to keep the internal site locked down extremely tight.

In that same light, is it possible to have different SSL certs for different Virtual Hosts running on the same physical box (under one IP)?

Thanks for suggestions/pointers.

Background
Ok... I posted a few days ago about my problem I was having with my sites, www.pinup-parade.com and www.rockinscene.com. I posted on here because I thought it might've been my lack of skillz which had caused the problem.

I use cirtexhosting.com... but not for much longer, I feel!

I know this isn't about webdesign, but I assume most/some/one or two of you will know about this sort of thing. Basically... some people can get on the websites fine, and others can't - it seems that the site takes ages to load and then times out.

The Corresondance
I reported this to the Cirtex Hosting people, and after jumping through the hoops of trying to convince them that there really *is* a problem ("Hey, we can see it fine here. You need to check your ISP" - is *not* what I wanted to hear!), they seemed to figure out that it was their firewall which was the problem.

So they did something to it, and everyone could get the sites to load. But then... yesterday evening, they couldn't again. I contact them....

Cirtex: Can you please try as we have cleared our firewall.
Me: Was it your firewall that caused the problem before? I'm able to get on the site perfectly, but it's just other people who are telling me they can't - and it's all the same people as last time who couldn't! I'll have a look in the latest visitors thing and see if I can spot anything....
Cirtex: We will put the ticket on hold until you get back to us.
Me: I'm not really sure how to go about diagnosing something like this, but it looks like the 304 error is back in town. (I don't really know what 304 means....)
Cirtex:We have checked it with multiple locations and all working fine, you can try a test in http://proxify.com . (So what??? It doesn't answer the problem for the people who can't get it to load!)
Me: One of my friends who was having trouble says she's got on it now - but I really don't want this to keep happening every few days! (It reappeared again mid-morning...)
Cirtex: Let me know the list of gateway IP addresses of your friends so that I will whitelist it in our firewall. This will be a permanent fix.

WTF?
Ok... whitelist their firewall... what does this mean?

the other thing is... I'm not doing a website "just for my friends". I want anyone, anywhere, who's interested in my sites, who clicks on a link to it or whatever, to be able to get to it. why is this so hard???? Have I been misinformed as to the purpose of the internet????! WTF is going on????

Please, please tell me what they're on about... my hair's turning grey... :(

He's having trouble finding one decent enough and affordable for what he needs.

Can anyone recommend a decent hosting company for .net/asp/windows etc.?

The latest version of Appleseed (0.7.2) is now available. This version adds further functionality to the photo component, "tagging" functionality, and the ability for administrators to "trust" or "block" other nodes. A simple configuration page has also been added to the administration section for first time users.

The source code for this release can be downloaded at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/appleseed

If you're looking to set up a test site, I would recommend using Dreamhost.com. I currently use them for hosting appleseedproject.org and Appleseed is sure to work if installed on one of their shared accounts.

Appleseed is doing three things that are very cutting edge for the web:

1. Distributed Social Networking - Taking social networking away from massive, monolithic sites like MySpace and Friendster and distributing it across potentially thousands of sites that all work together.

2. Single Sign On - Similar to OpenID, Appleseed's single sign on focuses on end-user ease of use. If you have a login for one appleseed site, then you can log in using your appleseed address (for example, michael.chisari@appleseedproject.org) to authenticate you for any other appleseed site. More on OpenID is available at http://openid.net/

3. Sender-Stores messaging: Based loosely on the IM2000 proposal, a Sender Stores system seeks to add accountability as a means to reducing and possibly eliminating spam. More on IM2000 is available at: http://www.im2000.org/

If you would like an invite to the test site (http://appleseedproject.org), just let me know and I'll send you an email.
