PhreeZone 20 #3 January 29, 2004 Generally the "prebuilt" sites are for business owners. I tell business owners to suck it up and create thier own unique site. If I see people using prebuilt sites as their own I skip them for business and quit dealing with them if they are potential contacts for future business. If you want to resell the bandwidth then get your own dedicated server. I have to laugh so much at all these "get rich quick" businesses that people create that are nothing more then a front for some reselling or other similar business that are runnign on prebuilt site templetes. 1000 mb of space is more then I've used hosting videos for a year. 50 pop accounts is hard to come by outside a business account and at that level they reccommend SMTP. Sub directoy passwords are simple to set on any platform if you know what you are doing.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vonSanta 0 #9 January 30, 2004 The answer basically is: for that kind of storage, set up your own server. Then, open notepad and start typing in some HTML (if your site is of a static nature). For some less-than-super-advanced dynamic content, use PHP or ASP and mayhap MySQL for some free database stuff. There are lots of advantages that comes with having your own server - youu can set it up to support just about whatever you want without having to pay for every single little thing. Also, are you asking about which is the best host provider or about what program is best for creating and maintaining a website? Or both? I really need more info about what you're going to do with the website to be able to provide you with a hint, sorry bro Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cornholio 0 #10 January 30, 2004 Well, this is what my webhost provides, and I'm pretty damn happy with it: Disk Space (Raid Storage) 1,000 MB Data Transfer/Bandwidth 5 GB/ Day! (Not Month!) POP3/IMAP Email & SMTP 650 Price $7.77/month etc... check em out at www.powweb.com (non linked on purpose) Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

PhillyKev 0 #11 January 30, 2004 The answer is, for those requirments, there aren't any good hosts. If those extreme requirements are really what you need, your best bet is to hire a consultant to build it for you and purchase and maintain the equipment yourself.

narcimund 0 #12 January 30, 2004 QuoteTheir hasn't been an answer yet? Do you want the best or the cheapest? Are you asking for a business host or a vanity site host? Do you expect to pay $7.77/month or $2000/month? Are you a heavy tech-support user or are you a do-it-yourselfer? Are you reselling? If so, what kind of IP space are you expecting? Are you planning on secure transactions? Who manages the certificates? Who manages the DNS? What kind of spam and virus protection do you need? Are you going to manage your own server or do you want management? Unix or Windows or Mac? Do you expect multihomed 2nd tier, backed-up power, environmentally controlled datacenters with 24/7 monitoring and auto-backups and failover? Or is somebody's home hobby box on a dynamic IP DSL good enough? Unlimited bandwidth? Do you mean that or do you mean infinite bandwidth or metered bandwidth? Do you mean bandwidth or throughput? Are you willing to pay upcharges as the numbers go up or do you expect to get it for free? Are you a discerning customer or do you think $7.77/month will buy you the stars like the ads promise? When you ask what the best program for building sites is, do you mean the best freeware that anyone can use in 15 minutes, or the hottest suites that professional web developers use?

narcimund 0 #14 January 30, 2004 QuoteData Transfer/Bandwidth 5 GB/ Day! (Not Month!) Ok, I'm in a lazy mood and I've been working hard all day, so here's some more info: Quick definition help: bandwidth is measured in bits (b) per second. Throughput is measured in bytes (B) per day (or month). Bandwidth is the speed which your site can pump data to the Internet. Your webhost probably buys bandwidth in multiples of one megabit per second. A DS1 is 1.5Mb/sec. A DS3 is 45Mb/sec and costs many thousands of dollars per month. Your webhost probably limits individual websites to a tiny fraction of their datacenter's total B/W. Throughput is the total amount of info per day or month before they cut you off or charge you more. "5GB/day" is a throughput measurement, not a bandwidth measurement. (Web hosts play all sorts of games with their numbers and leverage your confusions to make you think you're getting the sky for pennies. If your bandwidth is limited to 128kb/sec (which is likely and PLENTY for 99% of all websites in the world), they can glibly promise throughput of 5GB/day (or 1000GB/day) because that's impossible to reach. You'd have to deliver four times that B/W CONTINUOUSLY to reach that limit and they know you won't.) Webhosts will say, "100MB/sec connection" which means their rack of computers is in a shared datacenter with an ethernet to the router. That DOESN' T mean their net connection is 100MB/sec. For $7.77/month they're probably running you and a thousand others through a single T1. They can promise 1000GB of disk space because disks are cheap, but what kind of disks are they running? IDE or SCSI? Is the array RAID 1 or RAID 5? How many sites are sharing the array and how busy are they? The disk can quickly become the bottleneck if the answers are wrong. (And for $7.77/month, you can bet they're not spending $20,000 on a high end SCSI RAID 5 set.) I won't even get into the different metering methods, upload/download asynchronicity, differential pricing by time of day or day of week. We'll save that for the next lesson.
