    Learning PHP / MySQL

    I know how to install and configure scripts written in PHP. But I'd like to know how to write simpler PHP scripts, start learning the language, and potentially build up to writing smaller apps. I'd like to find a book / site / tutorial series with good step-by-step examples. What would you...

    Perlbill to ModernBill: anyone made the switch?

    Hi all, I'm soon going to be switching to ModernBill, away from my current solution PerlBill (or Logic Bill, as they've since rebranded themselves). I am not the world's savviest with manipulating MySQL databases; and so while ModernBill does give a tool to assist with the migrations, there...

    Seeking: Windows reseller acct. or managed dedicated server

    My current provider is not communicating with me very well about upgrades. There is no forum, and mailings go out either an hour before they make their upgrades (in non-emergency situations) or not at all. Consequently, when they do upgrade something, my clients are caught unawares - because I...

    Hello, long time no...say anything

    Hello, I signed up some time ago and lurked for a bit, but then I got sidetracked - a lot - and stopped frequenting many of the fora with whom I'd registered. And then the withdrawal symptoms set in... No, seriously - I spent winter 2004 reorganizing business issues, spring 2004 expanding them...

    Looking for recommendations: Windows reseller host

    Hi all, Some time ago I picked up a double handful of clients who just *had* to have Windows...so I found a Windows reseller account. They've been otherwise okay, but they aren't doing all that well in the client communication department. I'm looking for a Windows reseller package with a...

    Odd TOS questions

    Have any of you guys ever gotten really odd questions about something in your TOS? Or asked a really odd question yourself of any of your providers' TOS? I haven't had too many odd questions, except for the client who had essentially written a "Joy of Sex"-like book and wanted to host a site...

    Watch for Hotmail 'no-its-not-spam'...

    Microsoft is going to open up Hotmail to bulk mailers Apparently, the gimmick will be that these bulk mailers will have to post a horsechokingly huge bond (which they risk losing if they are found to be guilty of spamming) and their message will be delivered to Hotmail and MSN subscribers. Oh...

    Moving client domains from registrar to registrar?

    Hi, What steps can a host legally take to handle registrar changes for their hosting clients? For example, I have a client who has a domain registered through AAAQ.com. He wants to change the nameserver information to point to his hosting account on my servers. However, AAAQ's site...

    Don't forget: pay yourself!!!

    An excellent point: Owners neglect personal finances I think many of us, when coming up with business plans, can forget to pay ourselves. "Oh, I'll just take the lion's share of the profit when things take off," we may reason. ...not such a good idea... (says the woman who hasn't opened an...
