Gary Phaserman 0 Posted July 28, 2005 Alright, here's a question for you guys. I am having issues right now with Bravenet, who presently hosts the website used for a Sim I am in. None of us on the Webmaster's Crew (Myself, Krissy[the Chieflyone] and Jim) can get to the Hosting section. when we try to log in, we get a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" Error. Can anyone recommend a webhosting service other than Bravenet or Yahoo or Lycos (who I cannot figure out for the life of me)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted July 28, 2005 Are you looking for a free one or are you willing to pay a monthly fee? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gary Phaserman 0 Posted July 28, 2005 I'm looking for a freebe. Right now, I can't afford to be dishing out money for Web Hosting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BKY1701 0 Posted July 28, 2005 000k was a good one, but I am pretty sure they stopped the free hosting. I am setting up my own server, once it’s all installed, setup and tested I would host your site… but I am not sure if I will have remote file uploads (I can’t install FTP without opening a firewall port I would rather not open, and FTP does not run so well on windows) and the completion time is unknown; so far I have tried to install Linux 5 times with no success (Linux installed, but the servers didn’t work). What is it you want hosted? A forum? If so it may be better to look for a site that does only forums... I can tell you at lest 3 of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gary Phaserman 0 Posted July 28, 2005 \Just a web site, BK. the url for the present one is http://embark.to/USSEros. It's hosted on Bravenet right now, but I can't access the hosting manager to fix a few problems and add some new stuff to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can't find one let me know, I know of a host that only charges $5 a monthfor a pretty good hosting package. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue 0 Posted July 28, 2005 I know you already said you don't like it, but I always use Geocities because im a cheap *buttocks*. where I basically just plan everything out on my comp and kinda.. stick it in lmao! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ads were overbearing, but no worse then Bravenet. It has emulated FTP, making it easy to upload. It does not have CHMOD that I know of, but then it’s unlikely you will want to hide anything.

That's what I like about Bravenet. However, with Geocities, you can upload something like 25 files at once... \Just a web site, BK. the url for the present one is http://embark.to/USSEros.

Blue 0 Posted July 29, 2005 Wow thats really cool! .. but I just thought I'd add a quick tip for geocities... when you havw loadz of text, I also place upon a background ( to do with that page tho lolza ) or somthing to begin with before uploading.. that way I can choose my own style font, and will not have to type it all out again. *dances* I know its a really awkward way of doing things, but thats just me ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MongoBongo 0 Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) Two of my websites are hosted by Internet Masters. Both of them have the capabilities of message forums (phpBB installed), chat rooms, and many other options. Cost of registering my domains and their top of the line system is less than $150 per year for both websites. Internet Masters One of my websites is at:: Radio Shack Sucks (which has almost 2000 registered users and has been in operation since Feb 2005.) Of course, if you want a freebe, remember, you get what you pay for. Edited August 12, 2005 by MongoBongo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
