I looked at the Dreamhost website. I don't like the unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth 'forever'. For less than $6/mo there must be a catch. Looks like they're overselling. I've been with them for a little less than a year. The only catch is that they don't allow personal backups on their space.

Go with Dreamhost. You get more bang for your buck. I've got a collection of tons of promotion codes if you decide to go with them.

not if I were your parent, gamehead200. Yeah, good luck with that. Especially since I live ALONE 600km away from both my parents right now. I have to deal with things like the printer not printing remotely from all the way over here.

Ahahaha, topics like this always make me smile. My parents were always suspicious of me when I'd minimize windows, specifically my mom. Truth is, I really didn't want them reading my conversations or spying on me while surfing the web (I wasn't doing anything bad, promise ). I really hate it when people look over my shoulder. And my parents wouldn't be able to spy on me using any software in the first place - they're both somewhat computer-illiterate - I'd disable it in seconds.

There's more than one level, in case everyone's only been doing the first one!

If you want to purchase a domain, buy it from Namecheap.com. They support dynamic IP addresses. You can use Apache to serve your website like you said. If you have no experience using HTML, yes, you can use FrontPage, Dreamweaver, WYSIWYG, etc. to create your pages.

You guys should see how many labels and filters I have in place on my Gmail account.

I've gone months without having to log back into MSFN. This is the first time it's been this inconsistent as far as I can remember.

Problems with the search function have been mentioned here, here, here, and probably in another dozen threads. This isn't really news to us. The Google search box works pretty well though, so you might want to check that out as tain has already mentioned.

Really? At least my spam actually gets marked as spam properly. Don't really care if I get it or not. Anyways, I second Gmail as a great e-mail provider. Also supports IMAP which works great on my iPhone. Filters and labels are AWESOME, as well as all the other tricks you can do with your e-mail.

I was in downtown Toronto two weeks ago and they were handing out free copies of WoW with some kind of trial for them on the street.

Hey guys, If I search for the keyword "subway" on Google and it outputs my website as the first result (this is a hypothetical example), even though subways aren't mentioned anywhere on my website, is there a way for Google and other search enginers to eventually undo this association that the search engine has made through the use of META tags or some other method? As always, any help is appreciated.

Seriously, I created this thread back when I was n00b in 2002. [ Closed. ]

I'm with Dreamhost. They've been a good host for the past 6 months, I guess. Some downtime, but nothing too major. They've got a whole bunch of promotion codes flying around, so you're pretty much setup to get a few bucks off if you go with them. I can even give you one if you really want. However, I bought my domains from Namecheap.com (because I bought them a while back). Don't feel like transferring them.

Seems as though it's been OK today. Anybody else not having problems?

Yup. Still happening at 7:02pm -0500.

Unless you're on a static IP (most ISPs charge extra for that), then using a plain old domain name will mean downtime every time your IP changes (for you to realize it stopped working, then updating it, and changes to propagate). For those type of scenarios, there's really only 1 solution: DynDNS's custom DNS service (perhaps others have a similar service, I never actually looked). Your DynDNS client app will make it update the IP "instantly" (just like for any usual DynDNS entry), with no downtime. Namecheap.com supports dynamic IP updating and offers a wide variety of top-level domain registrations.

Heh, this would've saved me about two hours worth of work had I known. Oh well, there's a first time for everything.

I am wondering how do you walk. Well, I was kind of joking, but now that I think of it, I do (temporarily) walk faster than I run. I injured my right knee back in July, so I can't really run because of the tremendous amount of pressure I'd put on my knee while taking giant leaps, but can walk fairly fast (if that makes any sense).

Where the heck is he? HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DUDE!!
