I need to set up a website which will be selling things as well as provide content.
Who should I get the domain from? Go Daddy? Network Solutions or someone else?
What about hosting?
I need SSL and a merchant account, should I get these from the hosting provider or someone else?
I will only be selling a few months after the website is up, should i add the merchant account later?
What about shopping carts and designing tools?
Should I purchase dreamweaver or use whatever the hosting provider will give me?
I’m really confused, I need the best deal I can get and make sure I get everything I need at the same time.
I don’t have experience designing websites but am willing to sit on my bum and learn what I need to.
Please help, any advice will be appreciated. Also if there is some kind of online guide of how to choose where to get what and which domain registar or host and who ever else I need has the best deals and is reliable that would be great.
Ok, so I am designing a flash website for the local band director of my hometown band. I am creating it using Flash Professional 8, and have come along quite nicely.
The problem is figuring out a way for the band director to edit and upload the site easily, because this person doesn’t know anything about websites, domains, web hosting, etc. I have used dynamic text linked to an xml file, which allows you to edit text within the flash file simply by editing the xml file in notepad or other ascii editor.
What would be the best way to go about explaining to the band director how to edit, save, and upload the site..especially when she doesn’t know what an FTP program is, or a web server. Also, what is the easiest hosting provider to use when you do not know much about this stuff? It needs to be able to support flash and video…but needs to be as easy as drag and drop…like using web disk or something. I use unix based web hosting with cPanel…but what is the best choice to use for the band director’s situation.
Also, the band director doesn’t have a lot of time to set and learn this stuff…so I need to be able to explain in lamen terms so that the person will understand and be able to complete the task of editing the website.

I have Star Wars Battlefront II on PC, and multiplayer is a lot of fun. Lately I’ve been trying to host a dedicated server with 32 people on it. But I only have a 384k DSL connection, and even if only a few people are on, they have high pings and tons of lag, making them hate the server and they’ll never want to come back .
I made it dedicated so that I wouldn’t have to have Battlefront II running all the time (I’m using LucasArts’s Server Manager). Yet, I can still join the game whenever I want. All I’m saying here is that I play Battlefront II on the same computer that I host the server on, which, yes, I know, is not the best option I suppose… But I don’t have the luxuries of a thriving steady income.
So, if I want to host 32 people, what kind of internet connection should I be looking into? What kind of connection is good enough so that the server won’t hog bandwidth from the other computers my family uses? 512k? 1M? 3M? 6M? What other advice do you guys have for me? And I dunno, I have a feeling that I’m currently getting ripped off by my current provider (.95 for 384kbps).
My company is looking for a good mailing server which is not blacklisted at Yahoo since the last we got from ev1servers has it’s IP listed and every mail we send to Yahoo users goes right to the junk folder and the mail headers contain the X tag X-YahooFilteredBulk)
What I’m looking for is a good hosting provider with a good reputation in order we can reach our Yahoo account holders customers without being blocked.
If you guys have domain hosting for free, please tell me.
Otherwise, all I need is a free subdomain webhosting that supports the WordPress blogging software.
I already have a host but it has PHP5. People told me that the wordpress software works best with PHP4. For some reason, I can’t upload pictures and archives to WordPress because of this. They told me that PHP5 has some problems so I’m searching for a provider that has PHP4 or at least has the option to downgrade from PHP5 to PHP4.
The requirements for WordPress (I need) are:
PHP4
MySQL
PHPMyAdmin
FTP
once again, free domain and free webhosting would be nice
but what is necessary for me right now is subdomain
(i personally don’t know what any of those mean but yeah)
THANK YOU!!!
