Dot 5 Hosting

Is Dot 5 Hosting a good store front with complete e commerce?
Do you know of any web companies that offer store fronts with complete e commerce ... low cost. Just started my business and need a store front before I can purchase wholesale. Thanks

Dot5 is not the actual storefront, I don't believe, but they offer great e-commerce solutions like osCommerce and Agora. Those two are the leading free shopping cart providers. But note that personally designing the storefront is hard and not easily customizable; you need PHP knowledge. You can purchase or use free templates, however. Other affordable great hosts are bluehost.com and hostmonster.com. They offer similar plans with very similar features. All of them are good, very affordable storefronts.

I am looking for a secure online form that I can transfer credit cards over.?
I am trying to make a secure contact form online but have no idea where I can get the security from. I have my hosting with DOT 5 www.dot5hosting.com and would like to keep it with them. Is there some other business (hoping for free or with very little cost) that will provide a secure connection that I can transfer credit cards over.

Paypal.com? Whichever you decide to go with, look for the secure connection logo. You also can look up at the address in the address bar, if it begins with https:// you are secure, if it is just http:// chances you you are not.

Dot Net Nuke Software Question!?
Is this (Read Below) is possible in Dot Net Nuke version 4.5.3 and if so how? I want to have a link on my now existing static home page that takes the user to a login screen that also has other generic information on it. If the user has to register, they register but before being granted privileages I have to validate them. When the user does login I want them to be taken to their own specialized page that was made for them by me. They will have downloads and other stuff on their page that are specific for them. Is this possible? Please let me know someone! Dot Net Nuke's support system is crap and so is my web host!!! I just need to know if I need to find another software or how to do it with this one. Thanks!

This isn't possible with the out of the box DNN setup. You may have to find a custom module to handle this. The problem is that DNN doesn't really differentiate content based on a User ID. If a user is registered, they can access any module that allows for it. You'd have to manually add them to an access list of the repository module. You could, however, alter the repository module to display downloads based on the logged-in User.

Why does Yahoo allow answers from videoanswers (dot)net?
Yahoo would not let me post this question without censor. Since videoanswers.net requires that you download malicious software, according to www.sitewareadvisor.com, should we "report abuse" when these pop up as being the most amazing site? Yahoo! Answers malicious spammer site. They offer an "amazing video" with your answer. Unfortunately, all you will get is a malicious file downloaded onto your system.

It tricks you into downloading a codec like ZLOB . The VIRUS will install on your computer after you download it. than after 1-2 mins it will make your computer slow . Sytoms are it wont allow you to go on the internet and if you have FireFOX it will use that to download more bytes of the virus. TO Remove this virus you can use Mcafee,Avast,MalwareByte NOT AVG cause AVG will not do anything. Mozzila Firefox will be still downloading the feed and there is nothing to stop it. You cannnot use Task Manager if you downloaed this codec , it will end up telling you have no rights.

This is so suspicious

Very good Question. It has been recommended to Yahoo!, many times, they block malware links by many different means, but, so far, they have not taken any of these measures. Their addressing of Malware appears to be totally reactive, rather than pro-active. Here it is, directly from the "Horses Mouth": by Yahoo! Answers employee Yahoo! Answers Team Hey guys, Many thanks for all your help on this. We're working on a fix for this asap. In the meantime here's what we need you to do: If you see questions or answers posting this link, please DONT CLICK on it but report it as *Community Guidelines Violations* while putting "malware" in the Additional Details field. We know it is technically a Terms of Service violation, but reporting it as CGV will help us fight it better. Many thanks to everyone on this! Yahoo! Answers team To join the fight against it, See: "How to report malware and discussion thread, nov 23rd": http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?pro... & "OFFICIAL MALWARE BATTLE THREAD": http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?pro... If you've been infected by a link, see: "If you clicked a malware link and need help": http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?pro... To reiterate: _DO_NOT_ Use the 2nd, or TOS Radio Button to report Malware! Use the 1st, or CG, Radio Button to report Malware. Using the TOS button to report Malware creates Orphans, and they take a _lot_ more time to find and remove from Answers. If you insist on reporting Malware by the TOS button, you are helping the Malware posters by giving them more exposure time to infect user's computers. Hope this helps. •

Christians?
Yesterday I had a query involving endogenous retrovirus's, & nobody had a clue what I was talking about. So tonight I am going to put it in lamest terms. Ok, say a person has 25 papers with 5,000 dots located at the EXACT same place, THE EXACT SAME PLACE. The details, size of the dot, location, everything is the same. Now which is more likely why this occured A.) It was copied from a copying machine B.) 25 random people located the dots at the exact same place, without even looking at the original paper The same applies with endogenous retrovirus's. In one class of the host genome shared with humans & chimpanzee's, their are 16 instances of which ERV's are located at the same place. (In the short arm of chr. (chromosome) 1, long arm of chr. 19, long arm of X chr,& others). The possibility of humans & chimpanzee's sharing the same parisitic viral infection, located at the same place W/O common descent is 1 in 1x10 to the 40th power & that is just in ONE class (con.......) Endogenous retrogene insertions are molecular remnants of a past parasitic viral infection. Occasionally, copies of a retrovirus genome are found in its host’s genome, and these retroviral gene copies are called endogenous retroviral sequences. Retroviruses, like HIV, make a DNA copy of their own viral genome and insert it into their host’s genome. If this happens to a germ line cell (i.e. the sperm or egg cells) the retroviral DNA will be inherited by descendants of the host. This process is rare and fairly random, so finding retrogenes in identical chromosomal positions of two different species indicates common ancestry. There are at least seven different known instances of common retrogene insertions between chimps and humans, indicating common ancestry. My post the other day Why is it so difficult for Christians to accept evolution. All the evidence is out there If you do not believe in evolution, you are basically saying that 25 random people could put 5,000 dots on a piece of paper in the exact same spot. Does that make any sense? MamaBear, "both specimens sampled had been infected with the same virus, perhaps at the same time. Sampling other species from the same area would help in the study; perhaps the ERV shows up there also" Scientist have infected two different species with the same viral infection, at the same time, & they still did not match exactly in the chromosome pairs. Did you not understand what I was saying, & how rare it is for completely two different species to have ERV's located at the SAME SPOT. Secondly, the retrogene doesn't show up in other animals as the sequence in human & chimps Thirdly, are you taking into account how ERV's work? You explain to me about ERV's

I watch discovery channel to and they said that we had more genetic markers in this one species of pig or some animal like that but anyways does that mean we were all pigs once too? I think not. By the way most of the time people who are insecure about their own intelligence that try to use big word to make other people think that they are smarter then the actually are.

How do I control the color of Echo output in my PHP script?
I have a working web page in a dot-PHP file. It has a brief style sheet section that specifies white text on a black background, and it properly displays the text in the HTML as such, but when it gets to the PHP section, which is supposed to simply echo "Hello World", nothing happens. Tech Support for my hosting company says it's printing black on black. Why won't the PHP line use the text color specified in the style sheet? Or is the tech support agent wrong, and the PHP command is just getting ignored? For the record, my hosting account specifies PHP 5.0, and the three lines of PHP are: I changed the background to red, and now I can see both the white HTML text and black PHP Echo text. So I'm definitely connected to PHP.

Create test.php and add your 3 lines to it. Then if that displays the text your php is working and is probably just hidden in the red text as the other answer is suggesting. Hope that helps.

What software do I need in order to start my own phpBB or let's say vB forum?
Hello guys, I really wish to have my own Forum but I am not a professional to do so. That's why I decided to ask you for advices, recommendations and smart tips before I jump into it, please! Five questions: 1. Which of the following you think is really easy to be maintained by non-professional, like me? http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/904/29054029jz0.jpg 2. How much usually this job cost(...because I think I must pay to the coder for that)? 3. What is the min. PC configuration that I need? 4. Can I run it directly from my laptop(Acer Aspire 5100-5022)? I have a domain name at GoDaddy.com, but I am not sure what hosting plan/package to choose in order to run the applications from above? 5. Are they(phpBB & vBulletin) comes as a standard options with any of those GoDaddy.com's hosting plans? I know that the first one is free and the second is the best(+200$) but as a newbie what first do you recommend? Thank you so much for your patience! emilkostov / at / gmail / dot / com

I've installed vBulletin before and it was really easy. It's simply a matter of copying the software up to your hosting server and then setting off the installation. It installs itself once you get it started. Regarding GoDaddy, you need to call them and ask them what they have that would support vBulletin or any of them. They need to be able to run Php for example and I believe they need to have mySql (or one of the databases) available. Again, ask them if they have it and which hosting plan you would need. Once vBulletin is installed, maintaining and updating it is easy as well since it has its own administrative control panel. The only thing that can be difficult for a newbie is if you want to change the overall color scheme and look of it. Otherwise, you can put your own logo on there and leave the default look and design just as it is. It isn't a bad looking design as it comes. I hope this helps some. Good luck!
