Hosting Provider

I want to start a DNN website but iam confused Which hosting provider supports and is good?
I want to know which hosting provider is good and is safe to pay online and what feature should we look into for DNN support pls help with hosting services in mumbai or other which i can pay online and be safe

I use Godaddy.com. On a shared server you'll pay $48 bucks a year. Make sure that when you sign up that you choose windows hosting. There is an automatic installation script they use for DNN. You just decide where you want the installation to occur and it does the rest. The only draw back is that it can't be installed in your root directory. So if you had xyz.com your installation would need to occur at xyz.com/whatever. What you can do to resolve this is to use a meta refresh page to redirect your visitors or do like a flash splash page. Another drawback is that they send you offers in your email just about daily. I'm sure there is a way to take your name off the mailing list but I'm too lazy. Good luck.

Can my web hosting provider view my files even though they are Htaccess protected ?
I was wondering if my web hosting provider (employee) can view (read) files in my account that are Htaccess protected. I am hosting various websites under Linux. It is a concern for me regarding sensitive documents. I know an alternative is to encrypt them. But was curious about unencrypted material. Can a Linux super user (administrator) read other users' files ? Thank you.

ANY system administrator can read ANY document on one of their machines. Encrypting is not a good answer for web access, in fact truly sensitive documents should never be publicly visible to the web. Better is to store sensitive material in a database and use dynamic web page generation to view it. This can be controlled by the inbuilt database security (set your own root password and a password for yourself as an administrator on mysql and even su can't read it).

But what impressed more About http://www.bullionhost.com is the fact that they had a 99,97% Up time record, which is more than what I expected. This has turned to be an interesting discussion please keep posting. THANKS!

Wow it's hard to narrow the top reasons. The web host I chose has an Alexa.com ranking of 901, so they now how to get traffic and have succeeded in training me to as well. (possibly #1) There program is self teachable and can be done at your own pace(likely #2) In comparison to paying someone to build a top notch website, it saved me thousands of dollars.(a definite top reason for me so #3). They provide a forum to seek support and ideas from other successful users (I'll say #4) The provide a link exchange program to connect with related sites. (possibly #5) I could go on, but you cut me off at 5. As you can see I am passionate too. I wish you the best in finding the same passion in yours. I am deciding not to give you the URL so you can find the one that suits you on your own. If you must insist in knowing the one I chose you can send me questions or read about it in my profile. I hope this has helped. BEST WISHES & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Who is a good web hosting provider for this?
I plan on starting a website that will gain a lot of users over time. Should I start out on shared hosting and then upgrade to a virtual private server? Or is there another way to go about this? I assume that my website will be small at first but through time it will grow

I recommend you to register domain name(s) with a 3rd party like: http://www.namecheap.com Then choose a host which allows you to pay monthly like: Godaddy Deluxe plan http://www.hosttell.com/godaddy Disk space: 150 GB Bandwidth: 1500 GB Price: $6.99 (for monthly payments) Then, when you're ready to switch to a VPS, you just have to copy your site to it, point your domain name to its name servers, and cancel your godaddy plan. This is very easy to setup, and it works great! P.S. When you start to look for a VPS check: http://www.slicehost.com (from $20/month) and later http://www.mosso.com (from $100/month) P.P.S. If you want to start with a shared hosting but wanna pay a year upfront I recommend Dreamhost http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html They offer the best plan/options for the price. (especially if you use a promo code) Their standard price is $9.95/month ($119.40/year) but you can use the promo code PLUS and get $50 discount +2 Free domain names. Disk space: Unlimited Bandwidth: Unlimited 2 Free domain names Unlimited domains and subdomains Price: $5.78/month ($69.40/year)
