  1. I just wanted to start a topic about one of the web hosters not mentioned in this website. Po.gs is a website hosting service which offers 500MB hosting with 2GB bandwidth...

     

    Here is the complete Po.Gs hosting spec (from their site):

    Scripting: Each account is equipped to run PHP, SHTML and Perl CGI scripts with its own private cgi-bin. A number of useful CGI scripts including form-to-email, guest book, bulletin board, counter and whois are included free of charge.

     

    FrontPage2000 Extensions: FrontPage 2000 extensions can be installed enabling you to take advantage of the dynamic features and publication wizard in Microsoft's web page authoring software.

     

    Graphical Web Stats: View usage statistics for your website, see how many people are visiting your site, where they come from, what search keywords they use to find you and more.

    Customised Error Pages: Replace the standard, uninformative page not found message with a customised page of your choice encouraging surfers to stay on your site when an error occurs.

     

    Password Protection: Restrict access to areas of your site, configure as many username/password combinations as you desire.

     

    MySQL Database: Create and manage your own mySQL database.

     

    POP3 & SMTP Mailbox Access: Send and receive email using a mail client such as Microsoft Outlook, or use our own WebMail facility.

     

    Mail Virus Scanning: Your mail is scanned for viruses at the point of entry into our network. New virus definitions are checked for and updated automatically ensuring that no virus bearing email can make it to your inbox.

    Control Panel: Manage all aspects of your free web hosting account in real time using our easy to use web based control panel.


    Ok...

     

    The problems:

     

    They do not allow instand account activation (I hate that, but I guess its to reduce spammers from getting in).

     

    They ONLY allow 1 mysql database account.

     

    They dont have java support like Xisto.

     

    My Opinion:

     

    Well... I have a website hosted with them and I've been having a hosting this website for 3 years (or more) and nothing wrong yet! Fast servers (very fast), good uptime (very good) and I like the 500MB space!

     

    So, give it a try. I will give my view on Xisto a little later (once I actually get hosted here).

     

    Thanks

     

    Notice from Kubi:
    Nice try. Taken from http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; make sure you quote your sources. Warning issued.


  2. I tried their hosting a long time before... I liked them. But lots downtime. Their bandwidth and disk space is good. However they are still one of the few web hosts (FREE) which survives! In the free-webhosts site there are lot of messages about how fast they are now... But I think i will go for trap 17...


  3. I'm running adobe Ps CS3 on 512MB ram it must be something else. It runs ok on my mac too. Much better then I would exepct for so little memory.

    I dont think there's an issue installing CS3 on a 512MB ram computer...
    There is something wrong with the serial... The copy of CS3 is corruped (this may be another reason).

    i'll just stick with Photoshop 7. its pretty much the same thing o.o; just an older version.

    Well... I agree with the fact that you can do anything is photoshop 7 but, the scratch disk space taken when using photoshop 7 is much greater than of CS2! I couldn't believe that. But the Photoshop 7 is better in using RAM.

    I still use Photoshop CS2. And I love it!

  4. Do anyone know how to make your Video Card use less memory? My current Video Card is ATI Radeon 200 Xpress(256 MB). It use to use only 64 Ram but now it's using 128 of my Ram. When I go to my computer, properties. It shows I only have 384 Ram. But really I have 512. Also each day my computer's performance is getting higher each day and it uses a huge lot of memory. I tried a disc defragment and it still used the same. Except my computer got faster. Anyone know what problem I am having? I been trying to figure out this problem since my computer got slower when I first got it.

    The computer probably shows the free memory left out of the 512MB you've got... Try disabling some of the background services which will eat up the memory. I am sure you will have a lot of programs running in the background in the msconfig. You can solve this problem by typing msconfig in Run and services. Untick some of the services which you dont want...

    Although still in my opinion 384MB is a good amount of free memory!

    Thanks

  5. I would use these, but there is some downtime.

    Ye... quite tru. X10hosting is very good but they have some downtime and they aren't reliable YET! You see, there has been many many hosts like x10 before but none of them ran for 1year continous - they either had their serices reduced or broke down and found some really lame excuses like "our server got hacked!"

    Well... I hope this doesn't happen with x10hosting!

  6. So does starting up a new web designing business make any sense. If so please provide suggestions and ideas.

    Website design businesses are not strangers anymore. Since we are talking about business here; you can start from you local area. Almost every businesses have a website now and I still see a lot of businesses that doesn't have a website in my town.

    Portfolio is something everyone looks at to judge you. Get a good portfolio and post it online; get some contacts and show them what you can do!

  7. hmmm... There are lots of gaming websites on the net today. And it will be hard to compete with them. But if you are an enthusiast (not just in gaming but also in business), then you can start a free games portal. The word "FREE"; because you dont charge people to play any games but you may want to put ads on the pages... But as I said there are too many websites with the same concept already. But there are other things you could do like put forums on your site and maybe chat as you play system or something. (This again requires that you pay a lot of money for the hosting anyway). Good luck!


  8. Oh my! I cant believe someone already posted about Zymic... I found out about their hosting about 1 month ago. I think i got to say is be careful! Just Dont go and upload your site their YET (if your site is any important)! Zymic have favourable bandwidth and space but i think they are going to change that space very soon because already a lot of people have started hosting there and the server uptime is is slow compared to Xisto. But i would love if they would stay the same and wouldn't have slow load time... Zymic is a great website and i would love to see this website turned into a good hosting providers!Right now, its hard to rate their services as it would be pointless doing so anyway!after 2/3 months, if they are still online (with same specs), i would give them a 9/10


  9. I think best phone company : Nokia.

    well... Thats what i thought... and i still aprtially think so... But sincei bought my k800i; i changed my mind about nokia. Although i know that N95 is the best in the market and moreover, they have released the new n95 with 8GB! Sony Ericcson K800i is built to last. Great phone but Nokia is the choice if you want to watch videos, use GPRS navigation and other kwl stuff!

    Thanks

  10. For me GMAIL's text interface just rocks! I too use Google Apps.

    Thats what i love as well... Its so unique. I use google apps for one of my websites and they are great. Only if google would let me integrate apps into my own website! (but i guess thats too much to ask for :o )

    Thanks
