I am a graphic designer that wants to learn about the technical information about web hosting, how the internet works, internet databases, various internet progam languages and all sorts of helpful computer tips involving the internet. Any information I find is geared towards people who already possess highly technical programming knowledge- I am sort of lookngi for a dummies book but for those who take it seriously.
I really like visual books or CDs- i work well with diagrams and such.
HELP!
Are there any easy to understand books about DNS and other technical web information?
Well, I like the O'Reilly books myself, but they trend to be technical references for technical people. I was going to recommend "DNS %26amp; Bind", but it's much more detailed than you will ever want to know. You might look at the "Missing Manuals" (See link below)
Are there any easy to understand books about DNS and other technical web information?
"TCP/IP Network Administration" By Craig Hunt is a good starting book to learn about how various protocols, servers etc. work. It has "enough" diagrams but I would not call it extremely visually oriented. A dummies book for those who take it seriously is a bit of an oxymoron, you should either be prepared to sit down and learn or resign yourself to looking at cartoon characters explaining the internet as a series of tubes. Nobody said it would be easy!
Reply:I see there is a "DNS For Dummies" By Blair Rampling. Sorry though, I did not read it. I bet you can probably find reviews in Amazon. The reviewers often compare to similar books, so you could find other leads too.

I went to Yahoo! for website hosting. I've used others before, but they have more that goes with it for the same low fee.

Building a site like You-Tube will take some time and money. And for it to be successful, it needs to be You-Tube with a twist. You have to offer something new, or people will just stay with You-Tube, since the whole world has already heard of them.
Good Luck.

don't buy any hosting plan yet. cause there is very good one or two web hosting that has free plan available that can host your domain for free and allows unlimited subdomain. and more good news is there is no forces ad or banner to use their service. if you still a beginner use this resources first while learning to make your first website. and when a lot of visitor has come to your website and need more storage then your can upgrade and it cost less then $5 monthly or if you want to host somewhere else you can bring your domain name along cause it is yours.
Reply:If you like to create websites (usually you will end up more than 1 website, I got more than 100 websites in about 6 months' time), go for multiple web hosting services where you could host all your websites in one account.
I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent.
Hostmonster http://www.hostmonster.com/track/ryukend...
They offer hosting of "unlimited domains" and you will get massive webspace of 300000 MB (300 GB ). They only charge $5.95/month and they offer "a free Domain Name" and installing service called "Fantastico". By using Fantastico, you could create own forum, photo gallery, shopping cart (e-commerce),your own auction site and your own blogs within few seconds. They also offer "Free Website Builder" as well.

How to put a text (with colour) at the side of web when mouse move to the image?
I'm doing my first personal website, and i want to ask about as above. Please let me know because i'm new in web hosting.
i can make text on the image(alt) but how to change the colour/text size and fonts.
Thanks for helping me. =)
How to put a text (with colour) at the side of web when mouse move to the image?
You can change the color and font of alt for images but not from your code or html editor application.
You need a software I think called CoffeeCup Html Editor or CoffeeCup Tip.
It creates tips and alts for you with any variety of colors and fonts.
It gives you the code, then you only need to open your code and implement the code given by Coffeecup.

What is a very good free web host with frontpage extensions?
I don't care how much web space or bandwidth it has, but it has to be free and has to have frontpage extensions. I'm currently using 100webspace.net, but it sucks. Can you help?
What is a very good free web host with frontpage extensions?
I found that the easiest way to build a website is by using WebStarts. It has a unique drag and drop interface that is extremely easy to use. Plus you can build multiple site with a free account.
Here Is The Link
http://www.Webstarts.com/
What is a very good free web host with frontpage extensions?
Well http://webstarts.com/ is a free website program and its completely internet based so no
downloading and you can have your very own domain name. Im pretty sure it can have frontpage extensions.

Wanted: machine I can telnet to, have shell access on, host web site on, and...? (See details) Suggestions?
It has been a LONG time since I've done this.
I want to be able to telnet somewhere that'll give me a Unix shell, with Pine and trn and all the basics like that, and which'll host a web site (domain name mine). The ability to use some extras, like run a majordomo, would be nice but are not critical.
What exactly am I asking for, nowadays? One does not exactly see ads saying "Now, with exciting new trn for improved Usenet access!" ISPs in the area have all been "Shell access? Go away, please," for years.
Any suggestions for companies/ways to phrase what I'm asking for that makes more sense?
Wanted: machine I can telnet to, have shell access on, host web site on, and...? (See details) Suggestions?
I suggest Red Hat Fedora Core 4 OS.
"ISPs in the area have all been "Shell access? Go away, please," for years."
True and they should be if they care about the security on their shared-use servers. I suggest to go with a dedicated or virtual-dedicated server. Virtual-dedicated is a new technology out there that allows the affordability of a shared server with the useability of a dedicated server. Admin access allows you to have root level access and install and run virtually anything on the server.
See the Virtual Dedicated hosting offer here http://www.xmlwebhost.com/web_hosting.ph...
Wanted: machine I can telnet to, have shell access on, host web site on, and...? (See details) Suggestions?
OK, I'm a little confused because you asked about a machine ... but it sounds like you want a web host.
I suggest A Small Orange. You can do all those things, including secure shell, and great resources, and it's very, very reasonable (try $25 a year for a tiny account, just $50/year for a small one, which is what I have).
The catch is that compared to other hosts, the storage and bandwidth seem small. But that's a good thing! They don't oversell their shared servers. Watch out for hosts that overpromise and underdeliver.
ASO is run by really nice people! Not some faceless entity trying to hide from its customers. There is a forum (and it's public -- few hosts will let you look "behind the curtain" and see problems before you pay up) where you can ask questions before and after you sign up. Other members and tech support are very helpful and prompt.
You will be pleased with ASO. I would be very grateful if you mention that punstress referred you when you sign up. I have been very pleased with my hosting there!

How do I set up a private proxy server on my web server (VPS)?
I have a VPS Server which I use for web hosting, I would like to setup a proxy server for my own personal use. It does not need to strip out my original IP address or allow SSL although it would be a plus.
However, it MUST be private so that only I can use it.
What are the best software and how would I go in setting this up?

Curious if we can find who web host is for site?
My uncle has a domain name and had a 'friend' take care of the work for him since he has no computer knowledge. I don't have much either :) but do run my own site so I offered him help. His friend is now among the missing and my Uncle has no idea who is hosting the website. Is that something I may find out somewhere?? Or is he better off writing off the website and buying another domain? Kind of stinks since this domain is his company name :\ Any Ideas out there?? Thank you :)
Curious if we can find who web host is for site?
In http://www.domain-name-register-store.co... try typing your domain name in the
'Start Your Domain Name Search Here!
Enter a Domain Name:' field.
The info will come as, it is already registered, and 'click here for info'.
Follow the link, and u'll have all necessary info.
If it is hosted and want to change, please transfer the domain to a reliable and supportive host like http://www.domain-name-register-store.co...
All the best.
Vera.
Curious if we can find who web host is for site?
He can use his domain and have someone else host it. They just transfer the current domain name to the new host. Its not hard to do, he just needs to find whatever website he wants to host his domain name, then he can use that domain name to transfer. There is an option for this at the host website's website.
Reply:What you need to do is ping the website. You should be able to get an IP for it and then, once you have an IP address, you can find out who owns that IP. The owner of the IP address will be the hosting company. Or, you should simple to go https://secure.registerapi.com/services/... and enter the domain name. At the bottom you'll see the name servers listed and that should also have the company name.
Reply:You should try doing a Who Is search on the domain name. I like using www.domaintools.com, punch in the domain name and once the results come up look at the nameservers. Example: If the nameservers are something like ns1.hostingcompany.com just try going to hostingcompany.com and that is most likly who is hosting the website.
