Web Server Prices

Can anyone recommend a good ASP.Net Web Host?
I'm looking for a reasonably priced ASP.Net Web Host with SQL Server. .Net framework should be 3.5, SQL 2005 would be desirable but not essential. Unfortunately, most review sites seem to be dominated by Web Hosts themselves who pay for rankings, or masquerade as customers to give false reviews! All answers not actually from a web hosting provider appreciated! Thanks

Godaddy, ive been using them for years, to be fair ive been using their Linux hosting not ASP.Net but they are a great company and offer great features for a reasonable price, they have the features you require, check them out. http://www.godaddy.com

I need a web host that supports ffmpeg?
I am currently much dissatisfied with my current hosting company and I am in search of a host that is reliable and courteous and with excellent tech support staff that can answer questions. I currently am running phpfox script. I need to know if what reputable Company’s support this script and most importantly the optional requirements. I am inclosing the requirements along with the link to their requirements. Most large reputable Companies Offer 1,500 Gigabytes or unlimited Space and 15,000 Gigabytes or unlimited Bandwidth at prices from $5.99 to $7.99 for two year agreements. They are fast and reliable unlike my current host. If you do not fit these requirements then please do not waste both of our times. Thanks Server Requirements: http://www.phpfox.com/konsort/requirements/ Web Server API - Apache, CGI, FastCGI and ISAPI Supported Operating System - Solaris, Linux, BSD, Windows IIS and Mac PHP Version - Minimum - 4.3.3 MySQL Version - Minimum - 4.1 GD complied with your PHP Build - Yes SendMail - Yes PHP safe mode - OFF PHP memory_limit - 32M Minimum Web Space - 15 mb Optional Requirements: The requirements listed below are only required if you decide to use one of the following optional modules.

I found a review on 2 sites that support ffmpeg here: http://www.stalebrew.com/2008/webhosts/ffmpeg-hosting/ I would most likely go with IX host because of its unlimited potential.

i want to create a web site with my own domain and a 100gb storage?
many say i have to buy a server . can u help me? if i have to buy a server suggest a nice economical one with its price.

To create a web site you need a domain and webhosting.As an experienced webmaster I recommend purchase your domain and webhosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some webhosting companies offer this as a gift . The best one is hostmonster webhosting since they offer unlimited bandwidth and free domain with their webhosting package.i also like the fact that on every signup they give you $100 credits to advertise your website with google & yahoo search engines for free. http://www.hostmonster.com/track/hostmonsterwebhosting/

Why is 1and1 web hosting almost always down?
like i have a website. but the forms are like never working. is it just that 1and1 is down, because whenever i go to check their website, it says internal server error. should i switch to a different host... whats the best (and reasonable priced) host... thanks for your help!

I would suggest HostFolio because the support everykind of scripting including Coldfusion which is awesome to use and plans start a 5.00$ a month, and its really good so far for me. so HOSTFOLIO.COM or HOSTGATOR.COM DO NOT USE DOT5HOSTING.COM

Is it easy to upload Dreamweaver pages to godaddy?
I am trying to keep down cost. I want to buy a domain name and hosting from godaddy, but if I buy Website Tonight from them the price jumps drastically. Is it easy to upload pages to their web server?

Yes, I do this pretty much everyday. First, you need to set it up in DW (Dreamweaver). Here's how: If you have NOT defined your local copy of the site in DW: Site > New Site Enter in your info. (WHat you want to call your site, where all the files will be, images directory, etc.) Then, on the left "Category" side, click "remote info". Go to the "Advanced" tab and on the drop down choose "FTP" your ftp host is: www.yoursitename.com (of course, change yoursitename with the domain name you purchased from godaddy or whereever) Leave "Host Directory" blank and enter in your godaddy login information. (your godaddy username and password). I have "Maintain Synchronization" and "Save" checked and nothing else. Then, test connection with the "Test" button. It should connect and say "Macromedia connected successfully." Click "Ok" on that tab and "Ok" on the Remote Info thing. Then, all you need to do is synchronize your local copy with your "remote" godaddy copy. For this, go to your "Files" panel. First you need to connect by clicking the "electric plug/socket" like icon (the first one on there). Then you need to synchronize by clicking the "Expand to show remote and local files" icon (the very last one). Then, on the new screen that shows up, there is a green recycle like icon on top that says "Synchronize" and wallah, your sites will be synchronized. Get and Put are pretty self-explanatory. Hopefully this helped!

How can I 'white list' web sites that my LAN users may visit?
All of the wired and wireless users of my peer-to-peer file and print sharing LAN (no servers) share one connection to the Internet through a Linksys router and a DSL modem. All users are using one flavor or another of Windows XP and IE6 ... no IE7. There are only a few business-related places I want my employees to be able to go on the Internet from my network. There are far too many places that I don't want users to go to try to black-list them all. Can someone recommend a resonably priced hardware or software (or combination) solution to provide a 'white list' of places that they can go? I'm fine with manually maintaining a list in an appliance or in software.

Try the D-Link SecureSpot! You can select catorgies that your USERS can visit! Note: The D-Link SecureSpot subscription is 80.00 per year

Where are the cost effective (cheaper than a PC), graphical, diskless network appliances/X terminals?
As I am looking to build or buy a new home, I started planning a home computing system for the house from scratch. What I have in my head is some beefy server and cheap workstations (graphical diskless thin-clients) throughout the house. I have read some up on the Linux Terminal Server Project and envisioned an amazing system possibly involving intercom (VoIP), home chat, controlled web access (I have kids), Myth TV, word processing, presentation and central fax & print. The software seems to be there for the right price. The hardware is another story. I have not been able to put together this architecture cheaper than just buying and networking full fledged Windows systems for each room. Isn't there supposed to be a cost savings with this architecture? Am I after a 2001 dream that everyone else knows has already failed? I am tired of spyware and viruses and updating multiple systems with various patches. Is it going to cost more for less?

This is a tough one. I know what you mean about wanting one central point for updates, and your VoIP dream can be realized no matter which platform you pick. The cost savings for the thin client scenario I think was meant to be realized in ease of deployment, management and service. In your case, it's neither difficult to deploy, nor manage, nor service your PCs, since you are where the machines are and you don't have another location to support remotely. It's easy to ship another Thin Client overnight to anywhere and have it up and running in no time. Or a spare can simply be kept on site and plugged in when another fails. I've worked where thin clients were deployed, and my opinion is that they're a lot more trouble than they're worth for home use. Now, that's partly because they began to use the browser IN the thin client instead of JUST the remote desktop feature, so the performance was dismal. They repurposed the terminals in a way that they weren't designed to be fast since many of the modern web controls run on the client side. The built-in browser was miserably slow, and everyone hated the setup. Had they stuck with just Citrix ICA or MS RDP, I think the experience would have been far more robust as expected. If you can be firm and only use them as remote displays as they were meant to be, you might also have the good experience. The licensing, as you mentioned, can be a little expensive. Although if you use Microsoft Small Business Server, you can kill some of the licensing costs and probably come out ahead overall. Unfortunately, I haven't read up on the Linux TS project, so I'm not sure what that client and server system would entail. What I do know is that if your kids are using computers at school for assignments or get homework, they will likely be working on Windows systems there. MS makes it cheap and easy for students and schools to have and use their products. If you want them to have a more seamless experience at home, it's going to mean using Windows in some flavor. But if you do it at the SBS, that's a win. It's also unlikely that games or learning tools on their favorite web sites will work outside of MS Internet Explorer, just because when games are developed, they do it for the largest common denominator, and that's Windows with MSIE. The one big thing I would caution on is peripherals... Will you have a way to use iTunes through remote desktop? Where does the Pod plug in? Mobile MP3 devices, CDROMs, DVDs. flash drives, cameras, scanners? Your kids have a game that requires the CD to play (nearly all games require the CD to play)? Someone's going to have to run to the big beefy server every time and swap discs. That's your blessing and your curse with a dumb terminal - all you get is redirected display, keyboard and mouse. No PnP. That said, the Wyse S10 Thin Client looks like a good fit if you can live with the limitations. It's priced under $300 and comes with Windows CE that supports RDP up to version 5.5. Windows Small Business Server is around $500-$600 with 5 clients included. You might find a used server with the SBS bundled for less if you're into bargain shopping. I can't imagine that you'll find solid Windows desktop computers for $300 if you mean to license them legally. I think the cost savings is there, overall, even if you decide to use Windows server and thin clients. But there's a huge tradeoff in usability when you go down that road. One thing that can save some time if you decide to use regular Windows XP machines instead of thin clients is "cloning" software. Get 5 machines the same, build it right once, get it all patched up and happy, then clone it. Save the entire hard disk to an image file so that if you ever need to fix up a virus or spyware infested machine, you just pop in a DVD with the cloned image and forget it. You have a new machine in 10 minutes. Makes troubleshooting a moot point. But then you have to be diligent about saving unique documents and files OFF the machine on CDs or some other media or server. One way to do this would be to redirect all the My Documents folders to a cheap RAID NAS and keeping all the files there. It's a lot to think about. I don't envy your situation. Good luck!
