cj001f Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Anyone know of a Free/Cheap, and decent quality hosting service? Quote
slothrop Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Dunno, not my site. They do host some of my clients' sites, though. Quote
arlen Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Digital Space starts at $3 per month, and it includes PHP/MySQL, shell access, subdomains, etc. Quote
JoshK Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 I just had to include this quote from asshat.org. One of my favorite GW ones  "There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again."  -- Nashville, Tennessee, Sept. 17, 2002 Quote
thelawgoddess Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 hey do you actually use that "digital space" server? i could use a supercheap reliable host. Â i have a techie question. i have my domain name host already and don't want to change hosts because i like the free web-based mail i get with it. it looks like "digital space" requires you to have your domain name hosted by them ... is that correct?

arlen Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 I've used DS for a couple sites since about 1997. I haven't been aware of downtime since the first year. They're probably not the fastest, but they do have good tech support and all the PERL/PHP/MySQL capabilities I wanted (but no GiMP I think), plus web-based email. More reliable than any college's servers I've used. Â Domain names are registered separately from site hosting, although most site hosts offer to register a domain too. I've always used a separate domain registrar (godaddy.com is cheep) and just used DS for site hosting. You just get your site host's numeric address for your site, then tell that to your domain name registrar plus some contact info that they give you. If you're getting webmail from your domain name host, they're probably hosting the site too. But you can keep the same email address (with a few hours of unrecoverable interruption I think) with the new site host. Â PM me if you need to know more Quote
thelawgoddess Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 thanks for the info. my domain name host won't host my site (without me paying more money) but they do give me mad web/pop mail so i don't want to change my domain name host. sometimes i get lost in the techie lingo so i wanted to make sure about the ip address "stuff". thanks again!
