I'm thinking of switching my hosting company and I've been looking at dreamhost.com.

Basically I'm looking for opinions on this company - are they any good? Are they reliable?

If you've used them or use them currently would you recommend them?

Thanks in advance :)

I have a problem that seems simple but I'm just totally confused about it.

I bought a domain name with godaddy and have a web site hosted on awardspace.com. I want my hosting to be set up on awardspace but I don't understand how it's going to show up on my domain name. I changed the DNS names to awardspace's name servers but I'm still getting the godaddy "domain parked" page. Does it take a while for it change or should it be instant?

I'd really appreciate some help with this question.

any suggestions?

i'm really close to just deleting the form altogether... but i'm trying not to give up hope...

So I recently changed the extensions of all of my web pages from HTML to PHP. This was good because I could finally do proper headers without the validator bugging out at me. Unfortunately, it also means I have twice the number of files in my directory - those with .html extensions and those with .php. The HTML files are needed to say "Oh yeah hey just change the extension of the page you're looking at to .php and you're good to go". The easy way to fix this, I thought, was to delete all of the HTML pages and set up a custom 404 page that could say the same thing with just one file, but as of yet it hasn't quite worked. I made a .htaccess file that says the following:

ErrorDocument 404 404.html

With 404.html being the 404 page, obviously. I uploaded them both into my directory (I don't have my own domain; someone's hosting me but I kinda haven't talked to my hostess in a while) and the files are... well, there, but if I go to a made up address it just gives me the default 404 page. Anyone know what's wrong? I read somewhere that the permissions have to be set to 644, and I think they are - when I go to the chmod command after right clicking on a file I get rw-r--r-- (er sorry if my syntax is wrong, but yeah it's 644). However, if I click OK, WS_FTP gives me this error: 500 'SITE chmod 644 .htaccess': command not understood ! Chmod failed. It may not be supported on remote host.

I'm not really sure if that's relevant to anything, since it seems like it's 644 anyway, but... yeah. Also I'm not entirely sure if this is an error but if I type in the URL of the .htaccess file into the browser (http://www.example.com/directory/.htaccess) it says it can't find the file, even though I know it's there.

Sorry for the long post, but yeah hopefully someone can help me...?

Hello,

I came upon this issue when I was trying to see if my hosting provider allowed for any scheduled tasks e.g. cron jobs (the answer apparently being no) so I wondered, is there possibly a service, that allows you to set up external scheduled tasks, i.e. a system that will automatically call a certain script on *your* site.

I'm took it to google but so far didn't find anything. It just seemed something natural that the IT boom would create something like this. Any info?


p.s. I know there are some classes imitating cron out there, and although I have still to look into how they work I'm pretty much sure they rely on consistent traffic to do the job (i.e. if you statistically have hits every minute or so, you can get the job done with a minute's error). But this is not the case I'm talking about.

I need just a little tiny bit of ColdFusion hosting. Just a couple pages, some images, no databases or anything fancy. I dont mind if the service is plastered with ads, it's just for a little toy I developed a while back that people are whining about me taking down. I'm talking like less than 5 megs. I had a spat with my web host and took everything down, I dont have use for a portfolio anymore anyway. Anybody know a good one?

Has anyone had experience changing the PHP settings on a GoDaddy economy hosting account (NOT a virtual dedicated server) using a php.ini file in the root directory? The online help for GoDaddy told me this was possible, but I created a file called php5.ini in the root directory of my web site and the changes have not taken effect (I did this last night) Can anyone shed some light on this?

I get the feeling I might have to upgrade to a virtual dedicated server, but I would rather not.

I've recently been switching my site over from a bunch of static HTML pages to PHP using Smarty templating

I've decided to use mod_rewrite to make more attractive and search-engine friendly canonical URLs

I've chosen this format:

http://example.com/some-words/
(both are valid, up to 2 such sections as shown)

index.php?page=some-words/some-more-words/

Just wanted to say a belated thanks to those of you who made suggestions when my website wouldn't work for some people but was fine for everyone else! The suggestion of using asmallorange.com hosting has worked out great. Far more "up" time than Cirtex. And everyone can visit my website if they want to.

I'm putting a shop on my site at the moment, using mals-e.com. It's all straight forward enough except for one of my pages, which seems to have thrown a fit. It's about 200 miles long! None of the other pages where I've used the same code have done this so I can't work out what's happened.

This page's length is fine and this one's fine too.

What has this page been smoking?!

How does one go about registering a domain name and hosting for a client? I'm doing a design for a less-than-skilled computer user who needs a domain name and hosting and I'd love to set it up for her, but I don't want her to divulge her credit card numbers to me. What is the best practice for this? Give her detailed instructions on how to do it herself? Set it up myself and somehow transfer ownership to her? Something else?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Friends

I am interested in exploring web programming via Lisp, Ruby on Rails, and several of the popular Python frameworks.

Here are the features I am interested in:

* Lisp hosting including access to web servers and/or mod_lisp
* Ruby on Rails hosting
* Python hosting
* Configurable source control repository with public and private areas (SVN/Trac or better)
* SSH access
* MySQL or PostgreSQL database
* PHP support (for third-party software packages)

Has anyone here had similar needs? Would you recommend any particular hosting solution?

Thanks,
jkndrkn
