I love my VPS but having only 20GB of storage sucks for downloads. Constantly have to copy/delete things from it. Is there are provider that offers: a) cheap dedicated server, b) > 250gb hd, c) cool with torrents? edit: brainfart, get a seedbox. duh.

Having no mechanical parts will certainly improve its reliability, but electronics fail. I've had everything on PowerEdge servers, from power supplies to LCD bezels, die over 14 years. Intel recorded its AFR at 0.61% for SSD over 4.85% for mechanical; of course this is 2011 and technology has only improved. Failure, however, remains a going concern. Rolling out machines with 8+ devices in RAID0 greatly amplifies that initial 0.61% risk of 1 unit failing. Whether SMART catches it or not and whether they act on it (or have the parts on site to do so) depends upon their competency. Something tells me at that price point competency isn't their strong suit.

So I took people's advice here and hosted my goon project on github pages. I have no clue what I'm doing but jekyll + markdown has made things easy enough to google and try to pick up as I go. Code for generating the entire site is here. I'm at the point where this amateur is running into walls, though. I could use some advice or links on some of the concrete things that I'd like to do. How do I: 1) Configure the website to support "click to show/open/zoom full size" to all images. Currently, some of the charts are being displayed a bit small. I'd like folks to be able to quickly view the full-size (or zoomed) image. Pop-up images would be ideal, but opening the image itself in an external window at a larger size would be fine. 2) Add comments and formatted share buttons to the default layout I'm using for all the collections (like the "chapters" and "quickhits"). I messed around with share button this morning on the home page, but it was a process of manually generating html and adding it to a single page. 3) Add a static navigation panel to the left of the content in the layout I'm using for all the collections on non-mobile devices. 4) Make the table of context for each of the chapters float in a panel on the right rather than stay at the top of the page when accessed by non-mobile devices.

My question is first of all how can I get 4 different people screen sharing to me at once, where i can see all of them at once, and then be able to temporarily (while the screen shares are active) stream them to a website. The website can be for public or privite use, it doesn't really matter since I just need to be able to see them. For example; you see on twitch, some people are able to stream multiple people's perspectives from different places, onto their one stream. It's that sort of idea I am aiming for. I'll look at this shareX in the meantime. thanks.

Need a recommendation for a decent Windows hosting provider. Our company website is built on an ASP.net platform. Our current host is fucken terrible these days (Arvixe) and I need to switch it for better reliability. They're down so much I finally got approval to move our company email to Google Services. Is Interserver hosting any good? Any others you might recommend, it's a fairly medium size website with a medium sized SQL database driving it.

I'm thinking about moving my website to github, since it's static anyway, and not big. This still leaves email. Does someone offer affordable email-hosting only? I checked fastmail, but I'm not paying 40 USD for using my domain. I remember cheap shell accounts like Superfortress (?) in the past, but not sure if that's the only way to go.

If you don't care about it being important/handling private data/etc, zoho.com and yandex.ru (https://domain.yandex.com/domains_add/) is free. I occasionally use them for things like throwaway site domains and whatnot that need email service, but my primary personal driver is still google apps

I'm running into a weird issue. For reference, I'm using biz.nf's free hosting I own two domains, the .com and .net (both on GoDaddy - yes, godaddy, I know) I have the .com set with forwarding and masking using godaddy nameservers I have the .net with biz.nf's nameservers, because I need it to get the wordpress contact form not to get flagged as spam I have the .net pointing at the .co.nf The weird thing: Firefox and IE bring me to biz.nf's page that says "Get started building your site!" Chrome redirects properly The last time I was doing website stuff was in about 1996 with basic HTML and lots of lime/yellow/aqua Is it something to do with the fact that it says "Domains Allowed to Host : 1, Subdomains 3"? But then why does it work in Chrome okay? I'm not too concerned about this, since I imagine once I pay for hosting I can get everything forwarding and masking as it should, and the contact form doing things properly I don't like not understanding things though simplefish fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Aug 2, 2016 |

Vhosts work by reading the host header sent by your browser during an HTTP request and directing traffic based on that header to the right file or directory (or app server, etc.). code:Unless whatever.net is added as an alias for whatever.com or as it's own vhost it will never work. You can work around this if you use a redirect or just pay for hosting and get proper support that way. code:

Wow, that's really interesting - thanks! To be clear, I am going to pay for hosting soon. I just didn't want to pay for months of me arsing around re-learning website basics/wordpress stuff when I can get all that for free. I did the same when I wanted to learn Moodle.

I don't know how either godaddy or your web host work, but I'm guessing you can do an HTTP redirect using godaddy (that forwarding/masking thing you mentioned). It looks like potentially you have a a domain from your host so to make that work you would just forward both your domains to that co.nf domain. You shouldn't have to mess with the nameservers at all for this to work, your domains should be pointing to godaddy. Your wordpress contact form doesn't care what domain it's hosted on, you'll want to configure SPF records and stuff to deal with that aspect, though I wouldn't count on having reliable un-flagged email from a shared host. If I were in your shoes I'd just sign up for a hosting plan with lithium hosting, DarkLotus on the forums here can help you set everything up so that your site works how you want.

Cross posting from the Wordpress thread. So we have about 20 Wordpress sites that we manage for local businesses. Currently we have them hosted on a few Hostmonster accounts (I know...). Recently we've seen performance decrease drastically with no changes being made by us. We think they've just oversold the servers, when we ask them they just tell us we need to 're-optimize our sites' with no other explanation. Can any of you recommend a reasonably priced Wordpress host that has some small amount of credibility? The other thing i've been considering is setting up EC2 instances for each Wordpress site using the Bitnami Wordpress image mentioned in this Amazon guide. Is this a bad idea for any specific reason? https://aws.amazon.com/getting-star...dpress-website/

crossposting from linux thread just in case: I'm trying to configure nginx so that direct POST requests to /wp-login.php get blocked and legitimate users login via a url like /adminlogin instead (which redirects to wp-login.php). First step, redirecting /adminlogin to wp-login.php works fine: code:According to http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#internal I should be able to specify a location as "internal": quote:Specifies that a given location can only be used for internal requests. For external requests, the client error 404 (Not Found) is returned. Internal requests are the following: So I added: code:But I also get a 404 if I try to access it via /adminlogin. Even though /adminlogin uses the "index" directive, which is supposed to count as an internal request. I tried "try_files" instead of "index" and get the same thing. What am I doing wrong? To complicate things further, I actually don't want direct requests to wp-login.php to return a 404. Ideally they would redirect to a static file with some kind of message like "your login location has changed. Email me for the url". Is it possible to redirect direct requests to wp-login.php to a static file, but still allow access to wp-login.php via specific url like /adminlogin?

I saw the list of Goon-run hosting companies in the OP, and have a question: can someone PLEASE recommend to me the best option for hosting a WordPress website? I just had the absolute worst experience ever with InMotion hosting. I Google'd "best WordPress hosting", and found them, and they had decent reviews. I signed up, and have had ALL SORTS of issues in barely 24 hours. They still can't get my FTP access figured out. FTP ACCESS! My webmail worked for 10 minutes then stopped, due to a security issue on their end. Jesus loving christ. I need a reliable, hassle-free webhost that offers good optimization for WordPress. I had a WordPress site hosted with JustHost, and it took 8 seconds to load the homepage. Switched over the InMotion and it dropped to ~3, which was good enough for me. The actual hosting has been fine, it's the other issues that have pissed me off to no end. I've wasted 4 hours dealing with their bullshit, and it's taking too long for them to work out. Things I need: - Good speed for my WordPress website - Working webmail (seems simple enough) - Working FTP access (hope I'm not asking too much) - Reliable - Not lovely customer support If someone could please point me in a good direction, I would be so, so, so thankful. I don't have time to waste getting something so simple to work properly.

Those companies are big and large and spend 10's of thousands of dollars on advertising but none of that means they provide a good quality service or support. There's a reason anyone that knows anything will advise you to stay away from any EIG brand and some of the other "Too big to fail" companies. Apis and Lithium are your best choices for goon run hosting. Otherwise I would agree that you should go to wpengine if you need wordpress hosting since that's kind of all they do.

Hosting industry goons, I’m creating something that hosting providers could be interested in paying for, but I don’t know how to do market research without being obnoxious. Do you have any tips? How do I approach hosting providers to discuss my not even launched product? Should I just look up contacts on WHT and send them emails? What would you do if you were in my shoes?
