when you design a website for a new client and they do not yet have a domain name, how do you go about registering that client?

- do you have them give you their credit card number?
- do you register YOUR e-mail with the hosting service you choose or your client's?
- do you take it out of their deposit for the work?

- essentially, do you set things up under their name or yours?

I was going to use Dreamhost... and I want to put myself as a referral... help?

Hey everybody. My name is Kristie and i'm 18 years old. I've actually been doing web-design related things for a few years now but just recently got my domain back up and running after my hosting had been expired for a little while. Any comments/suggestions would be very much appreciated considering I want it to be the best it can be :)

Hey guys. I'm new here and I would be lying if I said I didnt join just to make this post.

(this is not spam, just a good opportunity for students with mad skillz)

I work for a software company that sells discounted software to students and schools. Our hot sellers these days are the graphic programs like Maya and 3DsMax. Our student division, Studica - is hosting a graphics design contest, with $500 for first place in each software category. It is open only to students, unfortumately (sorry), and they will mandate student proof for an entry to qualify.

Check it out.


(I get no perks if you enter, I'm just trying to promote this contest for my company. I also will not have any say in the judging, I doubt I will even see the entries as I work in the school division, Torcomp.

Apologies if this sort of post is not wanted here, I was told this community might have interested members)

x-posted everywhere.

Maybe this is a counterpart to all the "where can I find a good web host?" questions that are continually asked around here. I don't need a web host; I run my own server. But I'm starting on developing an application that will be doing some long-duration socket communications, and the target audience includes people with the standard $9.95/month-or-cheaper kind of hosting plans.

Do these sorts of hosts usually have anything running to automatically kill any long-running processes? I need to keep a socket connection up for anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes or so, and if the average hosting provider has a setup that auto-reaps any user's processes after 30 seconds, it's going to be a real problem.

So, can anyone who has a standard web-hosting account tell me: what happens if you have a process that wants to run for longer than a minute or two? I don't mean a busy-loop; it won't be chowing up huge numbers of CPU cycles or driving the load rating through the roof. But it will be sitting there, holding a socket open and maintaining asynchronous communication, for a fairly long time. Does anyone know what your hosting provider would do with that?

Also, since the development language for this is likely to be PHP: what PHP libraries does your web hosting provider include? I'm particularly interested in whether they include the --enable-sockets and/or --enable-pcntl options, and the associated Sockets and Process Control functions. (I realize the latter isn't available on Windows platforms. If your web host is on Windows, that's information I can use, too.)

So, there is a project I've been hinting at in this space.  I'm close to launching it, and I need help in finally choosing a web hosting service for it.  I need a host that will provide me with a page I can load up with a few links and a moderate number of pictures at first, then some streaming video or .avi movies, say up to ten minutes long, later--not much fancy content, in other words.  I would also embed a LiveJournal community or two in the page.  So, low on graphics, but able to handle very high traffic without crashing, exceeding bandwidth allotments, or costing me a fortune.  Essentially, I want low start-up costs with infinite scalability.  If the New York Times mentioned my site on its front page two days in a row, I would want to be able to handle the slashdot effect no prob.  Some tools to help the beginning htmler would be nice, too.

(Please don't bother telling me these aren't realistic expectations for a startup website.  I've thought this through thoroughly, and if it all crashes down, I can fall on my face without anyone else's help, thank you.)

Here are the services that have been recommended to me so far:

http://www.uplinkearth.com/
http://dreamhost.com/
http://www.micfo.com/
http://www.fatcow.com/fatcow/index.bml

Any opinions?  Any others I should consider?  Reasons for one site over others would be very helpful, as opposed to just naked suggestions.

I had something lined up, but unfortunately it fell through. I'm working on an open source friendster/myspace clone called Appleseed (more info at appleseed.sourceforge.net).

I want to set up a test site called appleseedproject.org but I can't afford hosting. Are there any resources for setting up a test site for open source web projects? I'm kind of at a point where local development has stalled and getting the software out in the wild could help out a lot.

Thanks!

now i know every 10th entry posted here is in regards to hosting, but i would like to request that we compile a complete list of free and paid webhosts for personal and business use to commit to the community memories. that way anyone visiting the community can get the help they need without posting repeated requests for hosting suggestions, and we can constantly update it with new listings as we come across them. =) would anyone else find this helpful, or is it just me?

to start;

i'm currently looking for an affordable host for my .com domain (based in canada if possible). right now i pay $50 USD/year for 5gb of monthly transfer and 100mb of space, and i'm finding myself in need of more. i'd like to stay under $70 USD if possible since my domain is little more than a place to store images and movie files.

so far i've been eyeballing the following plans:

canaca.com (BRONZE PLAN)
domain registration - $10/year
domain transfer - $10/year
domain renewal - $20/year
hosting - $3.95/month (provided you sign up for a 24-month plan)
disk space - 10gb
bandwidth traffic - 200gb

directnic.com (BRONZE PLAN)
domain registration/transfer/renewal - $15/year
hosting - $3.95/month
disk space - 800mb
monthly transfer - 100gb

any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks to the responses on the captcha code. I think I know what I can do with it, but as someone pointed out, there will be accessibility problems, which is an issue because the site I'm working on is a gov't site.

My hosting company says the script to handle the contact form is vulnerable and that I should lock it down. They recommended the captcha method or a "guest" login requirement via .htaccess. I'll look into that, but in the meantime, they mentioned that my handler was "badly coded and allows more than one email address to be added to it." Since I've learned PHP by the seat of my pants, I'm not surprised, but I also don't know what to do to clean it up and make it better. Any help?
