Is having one's own server more reliable and viable than renting one (ie dedicated server)?
I am at present renting a server (called dedicated server) through a third party to run my website and a database. I am not sure whether having a dedicated server is a long term solution for my websites because everything depends on the third party. I want to instal my own server but I am worried about the complexities and the cost of maintaining in terms of security.
Please advise me which is the best route.
Depending on the cost, your own dedicated server is a good option but unless you really, really need it then you are better of hiring it from someone else. The downside to your own server if the need for you to maintain it all the time and also the cost added in case something goes wrong. You also have to make sure you have a large enough connection (Usually dedicated line) that can cope with the needs of your database and website.
If you can manage all that, then go private but unless you can fill all those boxes, hire a dedicated server and cut out all the problems.
Server Port?????????????????/?
so because port forwarding isnt an option for me (dont ask why) i was loking for a solution that would allow me to run my own server, but wen i ran the F.E.A.R. dedicated server, it was on port 27888, and people could actually join that game, this means that on my router, port 2788 is already open! so i was wondering if it was possible (on any http server) to change the port from 80 to 27888
ok thanks, but wouldnt it be possible to go to either dyndns.org or no-ip.org and instead of entering my ip, enter my ip with its port? that way u wont hav to enter the port number wen typing in my the dns that i make
Well, Martin almost has it right BUT you can use 27888 or anyother port you like. Problem is that to reach it you have to use something like this url
http://yourservername.com:27888
or http://youripnumber:27888
that will then tell the browser to connect using the ODD port you have running. The (colon) :xxxx, in this case :27888, after the url tells the browser to connect to whatever port.. most people don't add any ports when going to a website so won't know to do that.
You can actually do this on ANY web server and use ANY port you choose. The server has to be setup to listen on the port you use but it will work just fine.
Edit:
No DNS doesn't look at ports only at IP's. It simply points a name to an IP! What you have open or available at that IP is totally up to the server located at the IP.
Can't send email from my server to a Yahoo! mail account - and it will take a week to find out why?
I have a dedicated server and need to send email to Yahoo! Mail users. I'm getting a "temporarily deferred due to user complaints" message though I have never gotten a spam report ever. I asked what I guess is Yahoo! Mail support (http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/defer.html) and got a worthless response: "We have received your message but due to a temporary problem we wanted to let you know it could take up to a week until you receive a response.". A week!??!!?!
Has anyone else run across this and has a solution? I'm using SPF but not DK. My IP is not listed on any RBL's that I can find. Any other ideas?

How do I use ASP to submit simple form data, and have the server e-mail me with the results.?
I have a form I've built using html but I have little scripting experience. I'm trying to find a simple solution for users to be able to submit form data without using an e-mail client. Then have that sent to a dedicated e-mail address for review.
Any help or links would be appreciated.
You can use a simple asp form With sending email with CDO, and redirect it to any email address. this is a small sample:

How to send an email survey? Looking 4 software to create email with questions - and a "Submit" button.
I wish to send simple surveys where the recipient gets an email with the question and answers with a check box near each. They simply check the answer box and hit Submit. I have a web site on a dedicated Linix server with PHP and PERL ability. I am looking for an inexpensive 3rd party solution or a public GNU PERL or PHP script.
In that case you have one option you can send link to your survey page in the mail and people will visit that page by clicking the link in the mail. That is 1 option. For that you need to host that survey page on your website and then need to store that survey information in your database.
Showing whole survey page in email looks bit difficult option.
