I get the uncanny feeling of us talking over slightly crossed
wires... but this may be because I am hazy on some of these
things. What I know is this: I have a private web domain. I host
it on a remote server and pay 40 bucks a year for this. It has
PHP and a lot of stuff. Its limitation seems to be merely
miserable (10MB) webspace which it shares with email. This is no
problem as I piggy back files from other servers... I also have
my own ISP for my broadband connection and I get 10MB there too.
This is a totally different server and the webspace is free. In
addition I have access to all sorts of webspace courtesy of
friends and orgs that do not use all theirs. (Why hell, I even
have a free dorayme one that I don't use any more because it has
ads, is awful generally and it irritated Korpela once, I actually
don't blame him, it irritated me.)
I am seeing this advantage for me to keep it:
When it says mydomain.com.au in browser url bars, this remains
true as the left most bit of the url and does not play tricks.
That is worth 40 bucks.
One of the sites I maintain is a site for a teaching organization
and it is pointed in some way to a local University server now,
but it acquires (rather confusedly for most people, not me) the
uni server address. You type in something like www.teaching.org
and you then get the sort of tricky little play in the url bar
that had it been done by any poker player across the table would
result in him losing his hand, (yes, his paw) by an enraged me.
It acquires the uni server address www.uni.com.au/arts/blah blah
instead of what the user types in.
