HTML - Is It Really A Good Idea To Keep Domains & Hosting Separate?
Ok I've always been told with the age old myth of "you should never keep your domains and hosting with the same company."
It was something about if they change their rules they can lock you in or something weird? Because of this I have always had all of my domains with godaddy and bounced around with hosting & now I have my hosting with hostgator. Whats the real scoop on this? Similar TutorialsHey guys, Not sure where else to post this, but here it goes: I have free web hosting from limewebs.com and I bought a domain using register.com I'm able to redirect my website url from register.com to my free limewebs domain, where the stuff is all hosted, no problem. However, I need to do this for email too. I don't have email on either one. Does anyone know of a similar solution? Or do I need to purchase additional stuff? I've set up the free gmail business account, but I guess I need hosting? So lost, any help much appreciated. Obviously I'm a newbie, sorry if this isn't the right forum. Help! hello; I only recently discovered iframes, that you could load a webpage into them; I have decided to rebuild my online portfolio whereby when a user clicks a thumbnail the appropriate web app will load into the iframe; however before I go too far down that road I thought maybe someone could mention some pros and cons; one specific question: is there an alternative?? thanks dsdsdsdsd Just stumbled across Frameset and realised how i could use it in my website to achieve modularity & abstraction, stops code duplication. Also prevents random browsers to look at my web code, good design, right? I've got a navigation bar that is the same for all pages so i dont want to replicate my code throughout my pages to achieve the same layout. So is Frameset good or bad? So I designed some websites in Photoshop and I'm still learning it, but recently I saw many people talking about Fireworks and how it is a way better way of producing web design work than Photoshop. They say FW is a more efficient tool, as it was strictly built to create web design. That in terms of web design, it can do everything Photoshop can, but in a more simple way. Is it true? If it is, I think learning Fireworks is a good idea. But..there are soooo many Photoshop tutorials and so much less Fireworks tutorials. And that's my second question: Can I apply Photoshop web design tutorials to Fireworks? I mean, can I watch/ read Photoshop tutorials and figure out how to do the exact same things in Fireworks? Hi, thank you in advance for reading and offering advice. I hope I'm using the correct forum. I am returning data from a MySQL database. I want to be able to display this data, without writing out each and every HTML element. I figure if I transform it into XML, I can write something in CSS that formats it in the same way. Does anyone know how good this is, or if I'll simply have an easier time of creating HTML templates for each table that I return? Thank you! This is my feeling on the entire subject. .net is a perfectly acceptable domain extension, it is valid and I have never really heard of .net domains as disrespectful. However, the majority of internet users when typing in a web address will by reflex use the .com extension. So, if you only have one domain and it is .net, the odds are pretty good a person typing your web address in their browser window will type xyz.com and not .net, leading them to never reach your website. For the domain name you really like, would it still make sense if you added the two letters va (for virtual assistant) after it? You can always purchase your second choice domain and keep an eye out for your favorite (they expire, so at some point down the road you may be able to purchase it). One other piece of advice, buy both .com and .net domain extensions for the domain you choose. Domains can be purchased pretty inexpensively...this way you are covered should a person use the .com OR .net extension when typing in your web address. I have a website that has 2 frames. The left frame is the menu and the right side the content. Can I somehow use a sub-domain to open mysite's menu on the left with the sub-domain shown on the right? I would appreciate some help. Thanks Launchnet I've made a lot of progress on my website: Bands 4 Babes but I'm still struggling with getting everything to look the same on all the different browsers. Basically what I'm finding is: Chrome and Safari (PC) - Displays exactly as I want it to Firefox 3.5.2 (PC) - Displays properly except for the Home link in the purple bar is a few PX too far left and the --- above home is a line too high Firefox and Safari on Mac - FF exhibit the same problem as above, but most fonts (sizes and faces) are off on the mac versions. This also throws off alignments of other stuff. IE8 - Two solid lines on top and bottom of page are a few pixels too low which ruins the continuity of the box frame I created. If somebody could take a look at my code and give me some thoughts on what the problem is I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Hey everyone im 13 ive finally finished a website that has been going for ages ive typed it all up on notepad and i was wondering if there were any tips on web hosting. like it will have videos and music so i was wondering like what would be a good path to take. Any help appreciated and when ive put it on the web illl post the adress cheers PS its my first post I ran into this article and thought I would share it . there is a criteria at the bottom on how the hosting companies were selected. http://www.bestwebhosting2008.com/?g...FQUsPAodjm-jPQ Great artilce. Some have affiliate links at the bottom for designers to join. I am looking for a hosting site that lets me use Wordpress Multi user (WPMU). For whatever reason, fatcow.com doesn't allow me to use WPMU. I am looking for price and ease of use for my coders. Thanks for your input!! I know this is NOT the place to put this but im really not sure where to put it and thought that this would be the best place to get it moved to the correct place quickly. Sorry for any inconvinience caused by placing this here. My problem: Ive been working on a website for a friend for a week or 2 and have just finished it. I have been hosting it on my own computer while developing it and everything worked fine when i viewed and anyone else did (from the internet). I just uploaded it all onto their host (namesco i believe) and only 5 of the 8 webpages load. The other 3 are accessible via ftp and can be viewed through that so i know they are there and working but through http its asif they dont exist. I have tried changing the file types from html to, htm and php. Both with no luck (also changing the links in the files of course). This has really got me stumped and cant figure it out. Thanks for helping people Recently our web devolper for our karnival group has stepped down. He gave me the user name and password for the ftp and for strato.de . I want to create a database but I can not figure out how to becuase I do not know what my web hosting software is.(IE Plesk) Is there a way I can find this out because I can not contact the old web master... Thanks! Matt ok im messing around with cpanel (just got hosting from inmotionhosting.com) and i downloaded a layout and im uploading the index.html, images, and the css file to cpanel but when i go to view the page, the pictures dont show. what am i doing wrong? Ok i have all my html codes my index.html and everything now i just need to know how do i host it? im going to use http://www.dot.tk to host it but how do i take my raw html files and host it to a domain? Thanks! I was wondering how to get rid of some pesky html code 000webhost.com puts at the bottom of my site. They insert it when I upload the site. When you search the site in google is comes up "Free Hosting", and I have my own domain. Is there a way to override this? Here's the code inserted: HTML Code: <!-- www.000webhost.com Analytics Code --> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://analytics.hosting24.com/count.php"></script> <noscript><a href="http://www.hosting24.com/"><img src="http://analytics.hosting24.com/count.php" alt="web hosting" /></a></noscript> <!-- End Of Analytics Code --> Thanks in advance, - D-Technodude Ok i have all my html codes my index.html and everything now i just need to know how do i host it? im going to use http://www.dot.tk to host it but how do i take my raw html files and host it to a domain? Thanks! _private file hosting I use to use the _private folder on my old website (netfirms.com) to hide files i wanted only privileged people to access with a direct link, because _private could not be searched or accessed without a direct link to the file or page you wanted to access. I would like to do the same on my new host (000webhost.com). Ideally I want a totally secure place to put files outside of the publics ability to see or access without being first given a direct link to. _private has thus far proven to be searchable and not an option here. this system uses a /public_html folder. i tried adding a /private_html and /_private neither was accessible. so how do i post secure files in my site? what are my options? My newspaper's TownNews web hosting format gets REALLY screwy when I use the title attribute. Can anyone help? I write for a weekly newspaper that utilizes the TownNews web hosting company for the paper's site. Posting the paper's stories to the web for each edition is my responsibility, one that I take seriously and would like to develop. TownNews uses its own in-site software to post stories, with built-in text fields for "Insert Title Here," "Insert Byline Here," etc. You can use standard HTML within these fields, but based on the pre-made structure of the site's layout, certain features cannot be used. Or at least it seems that way. I'm hoping I'm wrong about this. The main trouble I'm having is the title attribute in HTML. I know now, thanks to friendly and helpful responders here, that it's as easy as "title=..." within HTML code. But if anyone else out there knows the TownNews format of posting stories, you know it doesn't like the title attribute because of its own site structure. Is there any way around this? Has anyone else encountered similar dificulties? I desperately want to use the title attribute. Thanks. |
