    Humor: Is this a good ad campagine?

    "Like a little blue pill of Viagara (tm), _________ hosting gets your website up fast and keeps it up!" (Please note: Websites that remain up for more than 4 hours may indicate a serious medical condition and we would recomend that you contact a doctor.) I'm thinking of actually using...

    Do any hosts provide general computer support?

    I was just wondering if this was something any hosts were doing to bring a value added service to there customers - after all, there are many many many computer users who are beyond manufacturer's support offerings.... I'm just kind of wondering because I know that ISPs often get stuck with...

    For anyone wanting to "jump right in"...

    Well, a friend just e-mailed me this ebay listing. I don't have $85,000...so I figured I'd mention it...and since I doubt many people want to invest $85k, I don't think this counts as advertising (well, atleast its not self promoting)...

    NocturnalHostin is stepping away from his computer for a while

    Why is this worth a comment in the General / not-relates to anything group? It probably isn't. However, I've come to the conclusion that since joining this forum it has become a draw for a large portion of my time. Thus, my psychiatrist tells me that its good to get away...so I'm starting my...

    Nothing less than pathetic...

    Short Version: Ok...sorry....short version is support is important, and something you definatly need to check into when choosing a hosting provider. Ok, so I'm sure I have my website in my signature or people can guess it from my username and it lists right there that we don't provide any type...

    Reselling Domains 101

    Well, my 2 cents anyways. Ok, there are a large number of providers that offer domain reseller packages - and there is almost no way for you to find lower prices than some of the larger discount providers...so why do it? It is more of a value added service to your customers, and additional...

    Just curious if anyone would actually need this...

    A while ago I decided to make a video of the process of setting up a cPanel server (assuming that one orders a dedicated linux box with cPanel installed) - just recording the screen images in real time as I configured it, ran scripts like easyapache.... To be honest I think that most people...

    Attributes to consider when choosing a reselling plan.

    There are many hosting companies that start out thinking they need to "jump" right into a dedicated server. Thats not really the case. Reseller packages have basaicly the same thing with the added benefit that there really isn't that much work for you to do, espically with a management system...

    Flash: yes or no?

    Was just wondering what everyone thought about this - should a hosting providers own website utilize flash with sound, flash without sound, or no flash what so ever? To avoid the lesser issues - think of how templatemonster's templates are setup and not small flash buttons and the like. Just...

    On the concept that web hosts wont be needed with high speed internet connections

    One of the questions that I've been asked quite often is what the future looks like for hosting providers - given the national (well, in most larger countries) increases in high speed internet access. In asnwer to this, I most often here people saying that it takes knowledge to run a web host...

    On forming a corporation

    One of the things that many hosting providers do today is setup a DBA as opposed to an actual corpoartion. There are many reasons for this, such as the high cost of corporations and the legal/accounting issues invovled. To be honest, as the owner/ceo of a corporation, I don't find it that...
