Reposting since this was at the end of the last page and I don't want people to miss out possible money savings: Namecheap: We say NO to #SOPA (our official stance) Coupons: Lithium Hosting - Save 33% on hosting with promo code "SOPASUCKS" & Domain registration / transfers as low as $8.95 with promo code "NOSOPA" *Name Cheap - has a "special discount deal": "BYEBYEGD" or for (general?) transfers " Name.com - Use "NODADDY" for 10% off transfer ins (COM, NET, ORG, TV, INFO, IN, US, CO, ME & TEL) and also receive 40% off any hosting plans. If for some reason you want to use DreamHost or HostGator  DreamHost - use "NOTOSOPA" you get your first registration free. *Namecheap slashdot posted:Unfortunately, the SOPAsucks code has reached its maximum allowance.

DNova posted:and seems geared towards re-shipping packages to countries other than the US for huge sums of money, hth. Yes, this is precisely what it's for. Fortunately you don't give a poo poo about actually receiving whatever crap you've been sent and can tell them to bin it. I don't understand why people voluntarily give their personal information to companies who don't need it.

Also, GoDaddy, the poo poo heels that they are, have instantly caved to the pressure and reversed their stance on SOPA. Hilarious. What a bad company.

So my mom wants to set up a geneology blog where she can post photos with comments and some old family diary excerpts. Since she is new to all this, I figured it'd be best to just have her set up a blogger account. The problem with this is that she wants to present the content in historical chronological order, not post order, and there's no clear way to do this using a blog structure (at least not with blogger). Now, I could set this all up from scratch (I'm reasonably competent with design & hosting) but I'm trying to avoid turning into the de facto webmaster for this project. Are there any sites, like blogger but more free-form, that make creating websites/blogs reasonably easy (i.e., as little coding as possible)?

Could we please remove Hytek from list on the first post? Their reputation has gone to poo poo. Just do a search here and see how goons mention them. They held a goon's domain name against his will for leverage, harassed him on this forum and called him "pure scum." They are also just rude and non-responsive to support requests.

Anyone in Europe looking for a cheap dedicated host, altho unmanaged, check out Hetzner.de. I've had a box there for three years now, went to upgrade mine today. 49€ a month for a Core i7-2600, 16GB DDR3 and 2x 3TB in a software RAID1. 25€/month extra for Windows Server 2008.

Note that hetzner do that stupid thing with bandwidth that OVH doquote:We will permanently restrict the connection speed to 10 MBit/s if more than 5,000 GB/month are used (the basis for calculation is for outgoing traffic only. Incoming and internal traffic is not calculated). 100 MBit/s speed can be optionally restored by committing to pay 6,90 € (incl. VAT) per additional TB used.

Bob Morales posted:Unmetered, guaranteed 100mbs isn't cheap. That's like 30TB/month running all-out. Yes, absolutely true. However this seems like something of a false dichotomy - can you actually get guaranteed 100mbit from hetzner even with this clause? It seems to be a moneymaking exercise rather than a way of improving their bandwidth. The choice with budget servers seems to be between "non-guaranteed shared bandwidth" and "non-guaranteed shared bandwidth with a stupid throttling policy on top". Bob Morales posted:Many providers will give you a '100mbs' connection that will only run up to 20/40mbs, or force you to share it with others. Yeah you can sometimes get lucky though - e.g. root.lu are quite good in my experience (lovely hardware though)

Rufo posted:RewriteRule \.html?$ index.php I am bad at regex. Thank you so very much! One of these days...one of these days I'll learn it. While I'm here... I'm moving my domain from GoDaddy to somewhere else (SOPA). Don't know why I had it in the first place. Unfortunately, I am pretty inexperienced with all this server / domain / registrar / hosting hoobajoob. I *think* I set the registrar switch up correctly (though I haven't received a domain release authorization from GoDaddy yet) to switch over to NearlyFreeSpeech.net. I saw them recommended on the rules thread. How long does it typically take for a registrar to send me that authorization thing? How long does the transfer take once its begun? I'm assuming my nameservers and stuff will still be set up the same way when the transfer has begun, so I'll need to update those away from GoDaddy, correct? Last one: would anyone recommend hosting through NearlyFreeSpeech? I like to keep things simple (domain and hosting in the same place), but if there's a good reason not to, I certainly don't mind finding a better hosting solution. Thanks a lot!!

I like to keep things simple (domain and hosting in the same place), but if there's a good reason not to, I certainly don't mind finding a better hosting solution. Most hosting companies are not true registrars which means they are reselling domains from Enom.com or Resellerclub.com just to name a couple. This means that even if your hosting company goes out of business or tries to hold your domain hostage, you can still go to Enom or Resellerclub for support and assistance with gaining control of your domain. I've helped a few goons with that process when their old host (M2O) when under. It's a pain in the rear end but it isn't impossible. Bottom line, do a little research, get some reviews from people and pick the host that works best for your budget and needs.

DarkLotus posted:As for keeping your domain and hosting with the same company, most people in this thread will tell you not to. Honestly, it really depends on the company you choose to do business with. Some in the past have been known to hold customer domains hostage, others will register a customer's domain in their own name so the customer truly doesn't own it or have any protections. If you don't trust the company, play it safe and keep your hosting and domain separate. Lithium Hosting was very helpful and prompt when dealing with me when I was cancelling all of my services with them.

Wondering if I could get some advice on a decent web host. I'm currently on the Dreamhost shared service, which to be honest is good value for money but the site I am developing has outgrown it. What I'm after: -Budget between $30-$40 dollars a month -VPS or Dedicated (I don't want to go on to shared hosting) -Bandwidth and diskspace are not much of an issue, the primary thing I want is speed -Would need to get MYSQL and PHP hosting (assuming apache) on there. -A host that is established (goon run or not I don't care) Any suggestions welcome!

What I'm after: Are you planning on managing the server yourself, or do you need the hosting company to manage it? If you're managing it yourself, I highly recommend Linode as their VPSes are some of the fastest out there. If you need management though, Wiredtree is pretty great if you can go just a little bit more in your price range. They are offering 50% of the first 2 months with the code "makethetransition" on their VPSes. See: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1077312

Just renewed my domain name and was about to pull the trigger on buying an annual plan on Linode, and then I thought about this thread. I'm glad I didn't do that. Consensus seems to be month-to-month with lots of backups. Makes sense, but it didn't occur to tired me  Thanks guys, you're awesome.

Sonnekki posted:Just renewed my domain name and was about to pull the trigger on buying an annual plan on Linode, and then I thought about this thread. I would call this the Linode exception. Having done business with them for as long as I have, I would be fine with doing annual with them if it made sense to me for the situation. I think the main point where annual payments become problematic are when people do it without having used the host first, or for very long. That being said, the monetary savings by paying annually typically isn't worth the potential losses if things go bad with a yearly payment. But for me and my experience with Linode, I'd not have an issue doing that.
