Slotbox Hosting is finally up and running. I wasn't able to keep the prices as low as I wanted to, but there is also a limited supply of free hosting available if you don't mind running a Slotbox banner. Would be perfect for running Serendipity. Check it out at www.slotbox.com

Hi folks,

Just thought I'd stop in and say hi.

"Hi!"

Did I mention before something about having my hosting up and running before I opened my Christmas presents? Well, as you may have guessed, I've run into many a stumbling blocks. Mostly having to do with the accounts management scripts. I never ...

I havn't had time to look into it yet but I might be able to add it to mine manually. I'll give it a shot as soon as I get a chance. I definately want Serendipity to be part of the package somehow.

So, I got Fantastico installed as part of my web hosting service - by far, one of the coolest features available. You know, the cpanel tool that automatically installs over 40 of the most popular open source scripts? Yeah, that one.

Anyways, I was a little surprised that Serendipity isn't one of ...

I took a peek at lvcs.net . Can you get your money back?

That $4.95 a month will get you 500 Megabytes on my server, and you'll never have connection problems from my end. I expect to have it up and running before I open my Christmas presents in the morning. I'll post the link here in this forum ...

Without ssh (which I will be offering ) your only option is ftp . The timing out may be on either end of the line. What software are you using and what's your connection?

Oops! yes, that was me.

I like it just the way it is.

Looks like some clarification is in order here :D .

Just to make clear, unless the terms Dedicated or Server are used, I recognize it as shared hosting. I would never interpret the phrase Virtual Hosting Account to mean anything other than shared hosting.

I guess it (the prase) could be ...

I took a peek at bulkregister.com. It appears they don't cater to individuals with just one or a few domains, more geared for webmasters and hosting providers. I won't be offering domain registration right away but I will soon. It's something I'll be making little or no profit on, but I think it's ...

Congrats on the move to GoDaddy.com. I'm always glad to see people make the right move. Just curious, what was the other registrar?

As for the best hosting provider, I have it set up real soon. got the name server working today, and a few test sites installed. Still have a lot of configuring to do ...

Forgot to address the domain name issue. That is your domain and they have to provide a way for you to access it. When you do access it, you can reset the name servers to point to your new hosting account. The new hosting account provider should provide the name servers to point it to. They would ...

I don't want to go too into detail about what I'll be offering, as someone reading this could jump the gun on me. But basically I'd keep it simple. No reseller accounts, dedicated servers or anything like that. I want to cater to common folks who just want their website(s) hosted. I will say however ...

Hi davecjr,

Are you refering to a virtual hosting account or a dedicated server?

You cannot upgrade php yourself with a virtual hosting account, it's a server-wide upgrade. Maybe they thought you were talking about a dedicated server? Anyway, no hosting provider is going to upgrade their server ...
