I have been playing World of Warcraft for quite a while and also helped my friend in making one too. There are many possibilities for making a World of Warcraft private server. If you want then I could help you in making one.The basic requirements are,a) A Dedicated Box, VPS hosting with a static public IP address, a dynamic IP address could also work but for that Dynamic DNS needs to be setup, Preferably a Windows BOX as I have only worked on the windows version of the server.c) Minimum 20 GB space.d) Good bandwidth speed.The above requirements are generic in terms of creating any type of private server of any game that has a working emulated server package out there.For more details, post in the forum, I will keep checking time after time if someone needs my assistance in working on it.Soby.

It's great to hear that you guys are working to make this community better and are still providing this all free. I've been to many other website hosting solutions and believe me that they are a nightmate compared to this one.GO Xisto...Thanks for doing this for us, you guys are the best.

I can backup what I have on my hosting account using the cpanel feature so I don't think that would be a problem for me but about this - 13000 + credits part is the thing I don't understand.Currently I am on a positive number with a small number of days to hold me so when i close my account, will I be automatically reduced to the - 13000 ? PS: Saint Michael, you also typed a + with the number too. What does that indicates. Is it that after closing my hosting account, I would be given either a positive or a negative number? also how come I can't worry when I have that much number of credits to cope up with. Please elaborate on this and kindly post a followup on this, I would appreciate is very much. Thanks.

I've been a hosted member here for sometime but due to some work that I have to tend to, I am unable to cope up with credits here. I tried to keep up with posting here but seeing the upcoming days, I don't think I could frequent here that much. There is a possibility that I can finish up early and be back here but seeing that my account is getting into negative numbers here, I don't want to take the chance of getting back and see my self at a high negative number. So what I am asking here is that, is that possible that I am transfered back to the non hosted members category and then I can start over when I am back here. If this is a possibility then please I would be delighted if this request is dealt with accordingly.Waiting earnestly for a follow up to this question.Thanks for the wonderful community and the services you people are providing here. We, the people at Xisto can never thank you enough.

I got to know about this a couple of months back. The problem is that since the anime was commecialized, they started expanding the episodes so much so that they can get more and more out of the show. This definately resulted in the fillers which were really entertaining at the start but when they didn't progress the storyline became annoying.At first I thought that the fillers might have something to do with the storyline but when they bacame somewhat of what they were, fillers, I just wanted them to be over with. Lol.. I first thought the producer forgot what the storyline was and were playing with fillers biding time so that they can come up with something...FINALLY... the fillers are over and now the show can progress normally and IT WOULD BE AWESOME..Can't wait to find out how the story turns out to be.

Free Domain Name Free Domain for Life.
Soby replied to OpaQue's topic in Alerts, News & Announcements
Hey.. Am i missing something here? Last I saw that the domain was for a year only, now it says that it's for free for life.Is there a catch here? I mean you have to have 280 credits to apply for the domain for a year and have to get 280 credits the next year to keep the hosting alive or it's just a one time deal. Get to 280 credits the first time and you're free for life?Either way man this is really awesome. A top level domain is not what can be achieved freely on the internet.Please clarify. -
Alert! Notice To Hosting Members! Urgent!
Soby replied to BuffaloHelp's topic in Web Hosting Support
Like I put up a thread in the suggestion area, people should use complex password rather than easily crackable passwords. Even though special case characters are not allowed, there are way to set up passwords that are not easily crackable until someone has access to your brain lol.my thought would be to use an alph-numerice with uppercase and lower case character. Thats equal to a middle case security, max security obviously to include special case characters. -
I've been playing World Of Warcraft for a long time and then came the Burning Crusade Expansion. They are both extremely engrossing with their indivudual race storylines and the quest lineups and the crittering and leveling. They have so many stuff to keep you engrossed that you don't know when the time passed. Lots of stuff to do. I haven't to this time fully explored the potential of the these two games and this one is coming up. Hopefullt like before, they will launch the download and the beta testing free logons like in burning crusade. Let's see what happens.

Peer-to-peer An article I wrote for my college mag
Soby replied to angad619's topic in General Discussion
A very good detailed article you've written, though i see some things missing since the technology has been updated and new things have come but still i would say that is a very informative article and almost covers every aspect of the p2p technology. -
Starting New Business With Others I need help in making my decision
Soby replied to odomike's topic in Business Forum
Well what we all are trying to say is that you've gotta be really carefull among things like money and stuff. It has ways of turning the persons character in an instant. The point where you are telling us that the company man is making you see that it's not that you're doing the work for them but you're doing the work for a company you are going to be a part of. Not trying to question the persons intentions but bluntly saying thats the oldest line I have seen in trying to settle an agreement and get quality work.Apart from all this I would say that being the part of the company and to being a part of the revenue generated, the only safe way for you is to get everything written down. Like an agreement that can hold up in court, 'Stamped Paper' is what we call here. Once the agreement is in place, even if they decide to con you, of which I have my doubts, since this person works for a Non Governmental Organinzation and for the welfare of people, you will have everything on hand to get back at these guys.I say, get the papers right and take the gamble. It's only a couple of thousand dollars, that you can get from any other projects that you will do but if this thing works out, it will be an alternate stream for revenue for you that has the chances of prospering.Once again I will say, get the papers right, and code the website so others will have a difficult job of using it. Don't use CMS like you said above.Hope this thing works out for you. I wish you best in this endeavour of yours. Best of Luck there mate. -
Was that a hosting service or a scam. Man their website was an eyesore. At first I thought that they were offering the asp.net support which comes with a little higher price. But when i clicked the asp.net link, MAN they are asking for a whooping $17 for that.Thats sure is one big money gauging website. Poeple should know about it so they don't get scam'd. Xisto is far more better than others out there. benefits of being in a community and getting a paid hosting type account for free.

Acer Customer Support Not exactly the best in the world
Soby replied to rvalkass's topic in General Discussion
Like I said that these companies are big and since they have to take care of the customers as one bad reputation would render 2 or more not purchanse laptops. Glad you got through with them. It mostly depends on the customer service person you're talking to. one person doesn't really setup the complete image of the whole company. -
I'd say there since there is no limitation of what ads you put on the website, Why don't you put up both. Since bidvertise guys pay out early they are good for you and since google guys are renouned for their name, put them there too. Combined they will be better for the money generation.

Laptop Purchase Advice need some help here, please
Soby replied to megabytemb's topic in General Discussion
I've been using the IBM thinpad series for a long time and would recommed it you. They are robust, sturdy and reliable. Their customer support is very good and being a long time user of it, I didn't find any problems in it.You didn't really mention whats your budget and what type of machine you want. Is it a high end machine or is it a business use laptop. You want gamer peformance or you want normal performance at a nominal price. -
I've heard about Wordpress and joomla. I don't really know about blog systems was was thinking of making one for my website and would say that this thread really helped me out.

all the problems that came with the laptop, all seem to be the reason for mishandling the laptop with the exception of the low battery life. I would suggest, why don't you try checking if the laptop you recieved IS your laptop. There might've been a switch between yours and someone else's. Other than that, since you've recieved the laptop and there can't be anything done as you must've signed the papers when you got the laptop, you must take it to the consumer court. HP/Compaq being that big names don't really do this type of stuff. A small incident like your can lose them many customers. They care for this thing. Try cordinating with them and see if there is a possiblity of getting a replacement.One more thing is that whenver there is a software related issue, Try to do something about it yourself. Windows Installation is not that hard.

You can start of by making a beta and posting here and tell other what you've got. We can put up ideas on how you can improve your child cellphone.

Starting New Business With Others I need help in making my decision
Soby replied to odomike's topic in Business Forum
Like you mentioned that there are two choices for you. Well first you didn't mention properly whether they depend solely on the website for their tourism and other matters of revenue generation. Are they an established company or are they newly founded.Another thing that you may think as a fail safe plan is, if they decide to cheat you for your work and money, you can shut off their website and stuff. What do you think they are gonna let you go off so easily. As you mention these people are old enough to be your dads, they will have ways out of this.If the conditions are right, it is a good investment pertaining to the fact that you may generate enough money to overcome what you are charging them for the designing.One is for sure is that you kind of have already made the decision which reflects from your posts. I can only tell you that take this step after full consideration. If I would've been in your place, I would've checked if the amount for making the website, if i lose it will not affect me as much, I would've taken the gamble of joining their business. Mark that I used the word 'gamble' coz thats what i think this is.Otherwise I would've taken them for what they're worth and taken my money and moved off. -
I Want Start Up A Home Appliance Export Business, Suggestion Is Needed.
Soby replied to faund's topic in Business Forum
I live in a Pakistan and have seen the chinese product spread around the market. They are cheap and easy to buy. I can't really tell you about the people or the websites that might cater for this type of business but what i can tell you is that the places where you want to market your products, you have to visit them and then meet up with the current distributors of the products. We have people marketing the products and selling on the streets, in the buses, almost everywhere.There is also the possibilty that you can contact any one of the people who are selling the products abroad and ask them how they got around to doing this. The situation you want is possible but you have to improvise on it see what the possibilities are available for you. -
First of all you need to clear whether you are just doing the designing or you are going to do the web development too. As in programming and stuff.Well considering the web designing business or any other business, every business has the chance to prosper and gain more than the others. It's just the point on how you handle the business.Considering in your case the web designing, first you have to make a good portfolio and try to get your hands on some good projects that you can show other what you can do. Try to get some creativity and something different in what you do.Once the initial portfolio has been made, you have to market yourself and that too to the right people. remember that in whatever you do in business, the skill counts the 25% of the business and how you handle yourself and the comminication methods you use count for the rest.you can make up your portfolio on the freelance website like guru.com and the likes. If you are planning to do some development then it is a very good advantage as the other people hire other to do this sort of stuff where you can save more like this.finally putting is this way, if you've got heart and dedication nothing can stop you from becoming the top shot in the market. you just have o focus, create a better display of your skills, market, communicate, get good projects and you're on.

How Did You Overcome The Fear Of Starting A Business?
Soby replied to feedcare's topic in Business Forum
My friends were doing the job in which they had their expertise. They gained their experience and at a point where they knew that they more they experience they get will not increase in their expertise or they point at which they thought they might get stagnant, they put into action their plan. The plan to start their own business. They didn't just up and quit their jobs and went on the pathway to start their business. It takes planning and management to start something of their own.You don't just have to land ashore and burn the ships that you cannot turn back but you have to have a safe way out.See what is it that you're good at. What about the potential you can see in the market. do a market survey and check whats there and what to be done. What different you can do in the market.Once the initial market survey has been done. then comes a initial planning of starting the business.. the overhead.the client base. The target market, if possible the sponsors or the partners.Once all of this has been done you have to start going towards productivity. Now this is the part where the job comes in. once when you've started your business, it doesn't mean that you can cash it in and use the money and work and get more. Business need investments and the initial revenue that you generate should all be invested in the business and use the money from that job to meet up with your expenses.There will come a time when the business becomes so stable and time needy that you won't have to continue the job and take it up full time and leave the job.It all depends on carefull planning. The reason the fear of starting a business isn't there is because you have a backup job to cover you up. I wish you best of luch in your future endeavours.
