ONE (as in 1) Reporter Greets McCain In NH

The growing trend it seems. I cannot recall who it was, but I was watching CSPAN briefly one day and they were having one of those conferences with key media figures. Someone asked who should police the media, and the response was that no one should but the media itself. You want to talk about a...

U.S. Politics Poll

Ooh, I just love this "pure communist" argument because this is where one always shoots themself in the foot. There a reason no country has ever made it to "pure communism" and, simply put, it's because it doesn't work. Typically speaking, a dictator steps in and tens of millions are killed -...

Changed DNS from 2 days, but website keeps showing SEDO parked page!! Please Help

Most likely due to your browser cache or ISP's DNS - I say this without having a look at the website because this is typically the most common issue. Test the site with a third party proxy service and see if it works there. Otherwise, you can run ipconfig /flushdns in your Windows command...

Sobs: My hosting just got hacked into!

I'd make sure to do a good reliable virus scan as well as perhaps a second opinion when it comes to spyware scans. The correlation is a bit scary, but it could be a coincidence. Otherwise, when you get everything restored, verify that your scripts are all updated as this is the most common...

Best web host for me?

Stick with a nonoversold shared host. Getting a VPS can involve its own headaches, particularly for someone who is concerned with just running websites. I'd only make the VPS an option if shared hosting does not work out. It doesn't sound like you'd be using up that much in terms of resources...

Changing servers, can I migrate my blog?

Since you're running cPanel, you should have no problem. There are many hosts out there that will move it for you or, in the very least, help you move it. Contact any potential hosts and ask them if they do this. It should not be too much a problem.

Honest Assessment Please: Am I asking too much of my host?

Well, it ultimately depends upon the host. Some companies charge for this sort of thing and others don't. If they are somewhere in the neighborhood of a managed provider, they certainly should have at least investigated the issue for you. Typically, I'd expect them to investigate at least to a...

What should I buy? VPS or Something else?

I'd recommend going above 512MB and looking in the 760MB or 1024MB range. That's a lot of visitors on a heavily php/mysql website.

Host info wanted for new forum please

Prepackaged. There are all sorts of alternatives out there, but these are the most common: http://www.vbulletin.com/ vBulletin is regarded as the "most professional" software as it is paid. It's probably the best choice if you're ready to put money into your forum. I run a forum of 1,300...

Cost of Dedicated IP on a domain?

Well that's about right, honestly. The thing about IPs is the use has to be justified to a degree. There's actually going to end up being a shortage, hence the reason we're seeing a slow but steady conversion to IPv6. Nothing to worry about by any stretch of the imagination, but even IPs are...

.cc Official .CC Discussion and Showcase

Very nice, I've been partial to .cc myself and I've had some luck on it turning around a domain in about 2 months at 10x what I paid for it. Congrats! I always like to look at the ratios because they tell a better story IMHO, you did very well and it's good news for us .cc fans. :)

Host info wanted for new forum please

The above advice is certainly fair for what you need. Find a reputable provider or list of such providers, maybe ask them a few questions to get a feel for their service, and don't fall victim to these hosts that offer 100s of GBs of space and 1000s of GB bandwidth. The simple truth is you'll...

VPS Question.

Hard to say Dan, are these sites particularly resource intensive? I'd say from my experience - I also work part time at a VPS provider - that it should be able to handle that load. However, nothing is ever definite as it ultimately depends upon the CPU and memory constraints - moreso the latter.

Any Point (Arrowhead) Collectors Here?

Here are some pics. Beware that the images are large (~1.5 MB each). I wanted to do these arrowheads and their creators justice. Bag of pottery pieces collected over my trips: http://www.higherpurposes.com/arrowheads/DSCF7092.JPG http://www.higherpurposes.com/arrowheads/DSCF7093.JPG...

Tek, Tec or Tech!

I think your target market would control this the most, but for the widest audience, you want "tech" with "tek" a distant second choice. Tek isn't exactly unprofessional, but tech would be the most professional IMHO.

.us LLL.us Going Down?

I don't think it's so much value has dropped off as it is people are holding on to them. It took a major leap in price and I think the market is cooling itself to correct for a bit. I think a lot of people are holding on to them in anticipation of another jump in the future.
