Simple web hosting that is inexpensive yet trustworthy?

I am looking for a company that will give me servers to practice PHP & MySQL training. Something that is inexpensive, or free, and is an honest company. Any suggestions?

There is nothing simple about choosing a hosting company. What versions of PHP and MySQL do you want? Do you need PHP to be configured as an Apache module or will FastCGI be OK? Do you expect to make use of mod_rewrite and .htaccess files? Do you need access to php.ini?

For example, one of the posters above suggested GoDaddy. Their pricing is affordable, they let you choose between PHP 4 and PHP 5 (on per-directory basis, if necessary) and between MySQL 4.1 and MySQL 5.0. You can use .htaccess files and even create your own php.ini. The downside is, their PHP is configured as a FastCGI executable, so you can’t do HTTP authentication with PHP (although you can use .htpasswd files to compensate for that); also, mod_rewrite doesn’t work with their PHP installation the way you would expect it to if it were an Apache module installation (the implication being that some popular applications, such as WordPress, can’t do pretty, or even semi-pretty, URLs).

More importantly, if all you want to do is practice, there is no better place for it than your own computer. You can run PHP and MySQL on either Linux or Windows. You can run PHP with either Apache or IIS. PHP and MySQL can be downloaded free of charge from their respective developers’ Web sites. There are also installation kits that install and configure Apache, PHP, and MySQL on Windows.

How to host a site on the net made on microsoft frontpage?

How to host a site on the net made on microsoft frontpage?
i havent made it but want to
how much will hosting with private servers cost me in all??

Web hosting pricing varies I am currently paying about 100 a year for my plan but I have far more features then most will ever need. I can actually host several separate web sites on one account and can have more MySQL databases then I will need. You can find a link to my web host on my links page http://www.lakeareawebs.com/links.html

You will also want to purchase a domain name if it is not supplied by your web host. My web host provides me with 2 free on their middle of the road account which I have. However if you choose a different web host you can always buy your domain names from godaddy.com for under 10 dollars a year each.

Building a site with front page can mean a lot of different things are you building it with .html or .htm pages only if so you can use an apache web server. If you are using ASP technology though you will need a Microsoft IIS web server. If you only need front page extensions you can have them enabled on either type of server with most web hosting companies.

I would highly recommend you learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, MySQL, & PHP if you are looking for professional results from your web page.

I actually pay less then 120 dollars a year for my domain name and hosting. I do not pay for advertising, merchant account, or SSL certificate though.

I changed email hosting providers. I get most email except from AOL and RoadRunner users. Do they update DNS?

I recently changed my email hosting provider. I updated my MX record to point to the mailhost for my new provider. I am receiving email from most people, however email sent from friends who use AOL and RoadRunner as ISPs, does not arrive. I have used DNS tools that display MX records (dnsstuff.com, iptools.com, mxtoolbox.com) and my MX record is set correctly. Since I am receiving mail from other people and businesses I am am assuming the problem resides with AOL and Road Runner. Am I wrong?

Yes, it seem to be DNS cache problem with aol and roadrunner. Have your friend do a nslookup on your domain and the mail A record and see if the point to the correct address.

How do publish a site that i built using Microsoft Publisher. since am in the uk, it says there is no hosting?

I have built a site using Microsoft Publisher. Since am in the UK , its saying there is no hosting support in the UK. Does anyone know how i can find someone to host this site i built on Publisher. Am on a tight budget so i am not lookibg for someone to do another site for me for them to host me unless the site is free. i dont mind paying a small hosting fee, but preferably as small as Microsoft would.

If there is a way to go around the problem and still host with one of Microsoft s, the better

Thanks

You can use any Web host that supports FrontPage extensions. http://1and1.co.uk is one such host; so too is http://GoDaddy.com

Where your Web host is located does not matter. What matters is if that host has FrontPage extensions enabled on your site. You want that.

Once you find a Web host that has FrontPage Extensions enabled, you publish your site following the instructions here:

Which UK Web Hosting provider should I choose for my Wordpress blog? What UK Web Host do you recommend?

Which UK Web Hosting provider is best to host my Wordpress blog? I have tried 5 but I keep having downtime. I just want to host my blog and eventually an online shop using Magento.

I’ve been hosting my site with Evohosting for years, and I really like them.

http://www.evohosting.co.uk/

I’ve never had any issues with downtime with them, and their prices are really good. You shouldn’t have any problems using Wordpress or Magento with them, because you get them free when you sign up. You also get something like 60 other scripts for free, but I really like Magento and Wordpress.

So I guess I’d have to recommend Evohosting. Just really good customer service, cheap, no downtime issues, and lots of free stuff!

Best of luck to you with your site!

which is the best web hosting provider ?

which is the best web hosting providers among all ?

There are many web hosting providers and you might become confused to choose which one. It is very important that you choose a good web host. Good doesn’t mean expensive. Good means reliable with great support. When you choose a web host, make sure they have excellent support. If you have a problem with your web site you want help now, not in a day or two.

It can be confusing when choosing a web hosting company because they all look pretty much the same and they seem like they know what they are doing. However, I recommend reading reviews from reliable websites so that you may compare and become more familiar with the hosting companies before making a decision. This website has helped me a lot with my hosting decisions for a while now http://www.top15hosting.com

I am a web designer and I have changed back and forth from many companies over the years but my favorite one is FatCow. I am moving all my websites to them as the contracts expire. I hope this will help you.

I have a website made with Microsoft publisher hosted on Freewebs.com. How do I get submitting a form to work?

Whenever I click on "submit", it takes me to a page that says "Page cannot be found". I had the HTML edited in Microsoft publisher to send the info to me in an email, but it didn’t work when I uploaded the html to this website. How do I edit the code to make it work?

You can’t do it with plain HTML. The email option in FrontPage uses a technique that rarely works.

The real answer is you’ll have to use a server-side language like PHP to process the form and send the email. It’s not difficult as programming goes, but if you’ve never encountered programming, it’s a whole new world.

An easier answer is to use something like google forms. Create your form in google docs and set it to send a message to your gmail account. You can then link to the google form from within your web site. You can even hijack the google form and re-use it within your code (I’ve done this in a pinch) but it’s better to know what you’re doing.

Freewebs has a form builder which will probably do what you want. I’ve never used it, but I’m sure you can figure it out if you try.
