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.

Shared website hosting poll?

I am doing some Research for a project and I need to know what are the key features people look for when choosing a shared hosting package.

There is the obvious price and space ect but is there anything else?

What do you look for?

It is very important that your service be uptime. It means that you can access your account whenever you want to update your web pages, and your visitors can view your website whenever they type your website address. If your hosting service is not uptime it is real hell!

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

What is the best shared Microsoft Exchange hosting service?

I am looking for a shared Microsoft Exchange 2003 hosting service, suitable for hosting about five (5) personal email accounts. It needs to be reliable, with a large quota, and access via Outlook Web Access (OWA).

Do you know if the hosting company 1&1, supports asp if i have a microsoft package?

this one site that provides asp forums won’t send me an e-mail confirmation so i can ask them.

Microsoft supports ASP – it’s not really something the host has to support. (They can turn it off, but it’s assumed that Windows hosting gives you ASP and Linux hosting gives you PHP.)
