Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Guys, I need to get a little help/advice. I'm going to be getting serious about this freelancing stuff, and although I have a free blog on wordpress: [link]
I'm thinking I want something with a domain name, and a hosting service for about $15 a month that can be tweaked. An email address with my domain name, and the ability to send out emails to a customer base. This is all really rough drafty thoughts right now.
I know NO coding, and I have no idea what intelligent questions to ask or things to look for, but I am starting researching now so I can have a site up and running, SEO stuff and social networking sites attached. I also want a site that can have a PayPal button set up.
Any suggestions, insights or "FOR THE LOVE OF ZOD, DON'T DO _______!"
I use Fat Cow and I haven't had any issues. They're a little less than $10 a month. I have three domains hosted on my account and have e-mail addresses on all of them.
I host my poor, often-neglected blog there I Play a Writer on the Internet
I've been pretty happy with Dreamhost for my domains.
I use Dreamhost for my volume hosting domains, and Jaguar for the ones that are mainly just for mail hosting, and it works out just fine. Dreamhost is pretty solid and they give good response and have a great panel.
Jaguar's low cost, and sometimes strange stuff does happen, but they've been good for the email stuff and basic web sites. Nuttin' fancy.
Dreamhost was one of the ones I was looking at; also Laughing Squid.
Haven't heard of Fat Cow; I will have to check it out.
I'm also very happily on Dreamhost.
So Hubby updated to Firefox 4 and now regrets it. How can he roll back?
I was wondering if someone here could help me with a PHP/MySQL problem, please. I'm taking an eLearning course in an attempt to learn PHP/MySQL. So far I've installed PHP, Apache, and MySQL on my Windows XP laptop. Everything went fine until I was attempting to run a php file to test whether PHP had MySQL enabled. I got the error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in c:program filesapache groupApachehtdocsmysql_connect.php on line 2
I thought I'd edited the php.ini file to enable php_mysql.dll . When I ran the phpinfo file it said the php.ini file was in the WINDOWS folder, and that's the one I edited. I restarted apache.
I'm not sure how to proceed. Suggestions?
Look in the errors logfile?
