Agreed, Google have also stated that the best strategy for designing a successful web site depends on the simplicity and easy readability. Most of the users dont have much time to go through excessive decoration or coloring. Keeping things simple, helps a lot. I belive, Simplicity was the best reason for Google's Success. Unlike, Yahoo, they have only nice text results without much of an external stuff. Keeping the contents simple of the page with good text coloring can bring out life and also increase the propability that users will read that text.About the EDITED text above : Please do not mention our other sites name or information here. We want to keep both of them seperate.

This is what I say! COOLLL!!!!May I request something... Can I have something for A-S_T=A_H-O;S=T.com [sorry cant say the name directly, May bring complications and to play safe with G000GLEe]too .. since that is also my company.. By the way, those banners are really cool. And I really like em. Thanks.

Xisto does not allow download sites. If you would still like to run it, you will not be permited bw more than 1 GB . So you can happily spam that 1 GB, but no extra BW would be given. u,mm... But I think, 1 GB is also more than enough..

MeMbers who are active atleast once a week should'nt be having any problems.. but for the other .. .hahahha ... better find another host...

use ftp.yoursite.com and then try connecting. The cpanel and FTP passwords are the same.

[==D'Hosted==] The D'Hosted Group is to warn members that they have been inactive from the past 14 - 20 days. So Basically if you have your status labelled so, then you may better start worrying and try to make some good posts and be active. [==X'Hosted==] After a nice Grace period of 30 days, if a perticular members remains inactive, then his or her hosting account may be deleted at any time without notice. We would issue warning emails before it. But once you get this status, it simply means that the member is no longer hosted at our site. Even though he was previously hosted.We conduct our cycles to check users activity. As soon as we find out that the user has been active, we remove the D'Hosted Status. If you see it, you better inform any of the ADMINISTRATORS to change it back to [==HOSTED==]:: INACTIVITY PERIOD ::2-3 weeks : [==D'HOSTED==] ---> Account may be suspended temporarily. However, Data is intact and nothing is lost. Can be UNsuspended any time.more than a MONTH : [==X'HOSTED==] ---> Account TERMINATED.:: REASONS ::Till now, Xisto was extremely kind and we had given more than 20 - 30 accounts to people with 0 posts for promotion purposes. However, we required the members to be active. And out of them about 8 accounts were active without a single activity in the past 30 days. We had to terminate those accounts. There are more than 20-30 member's who have not been active for the past 20-30 days. By not being active, we mean, they havent even logged in.Those Accounts were Using up RESOURCES and Affecting other serious hosted members. Xisto has to catch up with the expenses and also with the PERFORMANCE of the Servers. As most of the member's may be aware of, I have purchased another server ( Panda ) as posted above [" Please do not write the name of that site in TEXT to avoid search engines interference. " ]We purchased so as to offer more dedicated services to actual contributing member's and to those members who have knowlegde and information to contribute. We belive, Those members automatically deserve more than the conventional hosting provided at Xisto. Get approved at the site is difficult. So it is better recommended that you stick with trap. If you can contribute and dont want to lose hosting at trap. then post there and request an account at the Xisto server. Your username must be same at both the sites.:: FEEDBACK :: Please post your feedback. Improvements and suggestions, are most welcome.

Then click the appropriate green transfer arrow located between the right and left pane. The right arrow transfers files from the left side (your computer) to the right site ( Website) and visa versa.-- As Submited by Codename_88 at our partner-site.

Service Ports The IP address acts as a unique identifier for a computer connected to the internet. Using it, computers send data to each other. Internet is a type of network. In addition to the IP address of the remote system, an application also needs to know how to address the specific program that it wishes to communicate with. This is accomplished by specifying a service port, a 16-bit number that uniquely identifies an application running on the system. Instead of numbers, however, service names are usually used instead. Like hostnames, service names are usually matched to port numbers through a local file, commonly called services. This file lists the logical service name, followed by the port number and protocol used by the server. Cpanel : The Webhosting service provided by us has its own communication port which can be accessed by typing http://www.sitename.com/cpanel or sitename.com:portnumber. The Default port for communication on the internet is port 80. ============================================ Since Opaque started off with a good intro - I'll just add in a complete list of TCP/IP Service Ports (standardized by the IANA) for your future reference. Here goes:

User Datagram ProtocolUnlike TCP, the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) does not present data as a stream of bytes, nor does it require that you establish a connection with another program in order to exchange information. Data is exchanged in discrete units called datagrams, which are similar to IP datagrams. In fact, the only features that UDP offers over raw IP datagrams are port numbers and an optional checksum.UDP is sometimes referred to as an unreliable protocol because when a program sends a UDP datagram over the network, there is no way for it to know that it actually arrived at it’s destination. This means that the sender and receiver must typically implement their own application protocol on top of UDP. Much of the work that TCP does transparently (such as generating checksums, acknowledging the receipt of packets, retransmitting lost packets and so on) must be performed by the application itself.With the limitations of UDP, you might wonder why it’s used at all. UDP has the advantage over TCP in two critical areas: speed and packet overhead. Because TCP is a reliable protocol, it goes through great lengths to insure that data arrives at it’s destination intact, and as a result it exchanges a fairly high number of packets over the network. UDP doesn’t have this overhead, and is considerably faster than TCP. In those situations where speed is paramount, or the number of packets sent over the network must be kept to a minimum, UDP is the solution.

You should add a user to your database ... do it first . The option is there in the mysql tab in Cpanel. Try to learn something on urself.. this seems like spoon feeding/

You are supposed to be active Every Week atleast once... See to it that you make good posts. If you are inactive for 2 weeks, we will suspend your account. This means, your data would be intact however, it would be inaccessible. [ Our Mail may reside on your BULK MAIL FOLDER ] Please WHITE LIST it.If you do not reply to us or contact us, then at the end of 30 days inactivity limit, your acocnt may be DELETED permanently. [ In Other Words, Inorder to avoid losing your hosting account, you should be active atleast once a week. This is not asking too much. See to it that you contribute to the forums. As you request upgrades, your activity should increase ]

QUESTION ASKED TO ME A LOT OF TIMES ::: I have registered for the uni.cc domain name and i have also pointed the DNS to ns1.trap17.com and ns2.trap17.com but up till now, my website which i uploaded to my Xisto /www directory isnt showing. I dont know what have gone wrong. And what else do i need to do? I have tried to add the domain (http://www.odowebdesigns.uni.cc/) to add-on domains or parked domains as spectre told me to do but it refused registering the domain telling me that the domain name is been used by another user and therefore cannot be created. What else do i need to do? and what exactly is domain forwarding and domain redirection? Please help me witth these anwsers cos i am getting more and more confused as time goes by. Thank you once again for hosting my site and for all the help you have been rendering to me. I am grateful. biggrin.gif Regards, XXXXXXXXXX ============= ANSWER =============================== If you have registered a domain and pointed it to Xisto. ( By specifying the Nameservers to NS1.TRAP17.COM and NS2.TRAP17.COM ) then please wait for 1-2 days ! Its not in my hand to propagate the domains. The filthy internet is sooo ****in slow. Any changes you make in it will take atleast 2 days for it to propagate around the globe! for somereason at my place it takes about 6 hours only! But I have seen some members where it takes about 2 days or more. You may use proxy servers (the ones on which you have never requested your site to access your domain ). The servers where you have already accessed it, Caches it and it takes more time. May be My ISP does not CACHE stuff, so the results are visible in 6 hours or so. Another thing, please don't bug me for this reason as you can always check it at your place. Use the following command :- PING YOURDOMAIN.COM -t Check the IP address that is returned by the program. It should be something like 64.69.46.210.( ***edit made 3-12-06 by jlhaslip*** ) When you see this , this means that your domain has been propagated successfully. ===============::WHERE TO UPLOAD FILES ::================== First of all, know what an FTP is. If you dont know it. Download FTP client software like CuteFTP (which I use ) , WSftp etc.. Enter your domain name and your username and password and click connect. Once CONNECTED, You can see the folders on your servers. Since this is a nice Cpanel based hosting! We have many directories. Even though you may use only one of them : WWW UPLOAD ALL YOUR FILES IN "WWW" DIRECTORY!!!!!! The other directories are used to store your settings and back up files. ================ SECOND ANSWER =======================- >the domain name is been used by another user and therefore cannot be created.< You can get this error message in ADDON or PARKED domain if someone has already added this domain in addon or parked domain option in Cpanel. I mean, Someone on the same server. The possible reason is, you must have registered 2 accounts on Xisto (ggrrr.. which I hate ) and added it on your other account! But the source of this error is the same! The domain your trying to add has already been added by someone else.. umm... Try complaining to FBI if you thing someone has tricked you. Something Else (added by Dooga): If your domain has not propergated yet, this will also display, especially those slow uni.cc ones. ==============QUESTION================================ What else do i need to do? and what exactly is domain forwarding and domain redirection? Please help me witth these anwsers cos i am getting more and more confused as time goes by. ===============ANSWER================================ Domain Forwarding. And domain redirection. I dont know these technical terms. But there are two ways you can do it. Addon Domains work in a master way or something. As soon the request is recieved, In the IP ADDRESS level (basically by reading the request headers of the client ) they tell the server fetch that domain from the server and send it to client. FORWARDING : This is like kids play and every can easily make out that it is forwarding. The browser URL address changes. This type of forwarding takes time. First the request is sent to your domain. and then your domain again redirects it. Just like the HTML redirection. [ Any more QUESTIONs, BUG my administrators and moderators ]

Once a girl is quite fantasized about "69". She has a regular boyfriend they have never done it before. One day she invites her boyfriend to her apartment for romantic dinner. After heavy dinner, she tells him that she wants to do "69". But the Boyfriend doesn't have any idea about what is 69. Girlfriend gets upset but thinks that she can teach him how to do 69. she asks him to lay down...and she then lays on top of him in reverse direction so as in 69. The boyfriend is confused but is eager to know about 69. so he does as the GF tells him to do. they lay down in this position for about 2 min. she is thinking that He will, by the time, get excited by this. but suddenly the GF has to let go one Fart...directly on her BF's face. GF quickly apologizes and asks him to stay in that position for some more time. after 1 min she has to let go one another fart....this time bigger than the previous. The BF quickly throws her away, gets up, starts dressing up and yells at her.. "If you think I am gonna take 67 more like this, you are MAD"
