I’m creating a website for my friend’s photography business. She is going to buy the domain and everything, but I’m wondering… What is the best place to buy a domain from? What about web host? I’m thinking about GoDaddy… And should I ask her to purchase an FTP program, as well, or are there any free programs out there? Is FTP a necessity? I have experience with HTML and FTP, but I’ve never had my own domain, so that’s where I’m a bit confused. Any tips or info would be greatly appreciated.
OK well i need a free web host, i need FTP, SSI, at least ½ GB of space (maybe a little less), CGI would be nice but not necessary (same with PHP). Oh, It has to not force you to use it’s WYSIWYG editor for pages (encountered that problem with synthasite)…if there is no such site please answerso that I don’t just go on wondering. Thnx bunches!!!
I am searching for a good web host and I wan’t to have:
unlimited space and bandwidth or atleast alot
then php_zip.dll enabled
maybe php_rar.dll
mysql not limited queryes per hour per user (on Fatcow theres limit 75000 query per hour per user)
php script access to ftp
filesize limit more than 2GB (on Fatcow theres 2GB limit)
Hi I would like to rent a offsite server at a datacenter or somewhere with the best Internet,it is going to be a game server.the reason I’m not going to one of those game servers and renting one of there server becuase I can’t remote desktop,only FTP.what is a good place that I can run multiple game and web stuff on that server and still have full access like remote desktop.
I own a .info web domain hosted on 50webs. I have tried uploading via FTP from Blogger but I keep getting java errors. Is there an easier way of having Blog type software on my website? Or what is your suggestion for the BEST blog site to use that lets you use your own domain as a homepage for your blog.
More info: My site definitely not going to be a personal site. It’ll be an informational (educational) site containing various facts related to technology. So which suits me best? A WEBSITE or A BLOG?
Moreover, can you name some of good FREE web hosting sites? (I need to try it free first before I buy my own domain. My requirements are about 1GB disk space, PHP with XML, MySQL, FTP access etc…)
Okay, I’m looking for a very good; exceptional free web host. Here are some of the must have features and minimums:
150MB+ Space
1GB+ Bandwidth/Month
POP3 Email
SMTP Access
FTP Access
PHP & JavaScript Support
MySQL Database
Ad Free (this is a must)
Any recommendations that meet these requirements?

Also, I would like the ability to host multiple domains/websites.

alright… I know a fair bit about computers, but I know very little about making websites
I am running a mac right now, and I put together a website using iWeb, I know apple wants you to put the websites you design on their mobileme server, but there is a option where it asks for an ftp server address, username, password (not required), directory/path, protocol (it gives you options) and a place to enter a port, I assume this is all to enter information given to you by the hosting service you are paying to put your website on their server, correct?
so I know you need either a server (I am not gonna pay for that) or a webhost, and a domain name, what are the steps to get your website from iWeb to the internet?
also, what is your preferred, the cheapest, and the best webhost out there
thank you very much

i meant i am not gonna buy a server
I constantly have to send files to my friends varying from sizes of 1 mb to 1gb. I’ve been using those sites like megaupload and mediafire but those both are slow to upload and download. I’ve been considering setting up a FTP server hosted off my own computer but there are so many programs to make one I don’t know which one to choose. I don’t want to use torrents so please don’t suggest that. So please suggest what to use that offers good speed and little setup on the other persons end. I don’t want to confuse my friends when I want to send them a tiny file. Thanks for everyone who gives me a useful answer.
Also if I did decide to host my own FTP server would the download speed on the other persons side be determined by my upload speed or my download speed?
