I recently upgraded to Windows XP and moved my web hosting over to Yahoo!. Since that time, weird things have been happening. When I go to my website, I see just the beginnings of it and it shuts down the page AND closes IE. This also happens when I try to open a page such as SiteBuilder from within Yahoo. I have looked closely at the security settings but I see nothing. All other pages and things appear to be functioning as normal. My site is viewable from other machines. Thank you for reading.
Why does XP rudely close my web page?
it might be a virus, or a trogen, i suggest you clean your hard drive, or run a anti-virus program. or call microsoft customer help line 1-800-microsoft

Registering a domainname and using yahoo web service?
trying to register a domainname and use yahoo web hosting package. However I live in the Netherlands and the registration page requires a USA state to be entered there is no 'outside USA and Canada' option. How do I get round this

I'm not sure how to get around this, but I would recommend trying www.doteasy.com They have a good price on domain registration and hosting. Hope this helps.

Which hosting plan ( dedicated/reseller ) would you choose if you a web studio?
Why you would you choose reseller over dedicated and vice versa ?
Which hosting plan ( dedicated/reseller ) would you choose if you a web studio?
Personally? Neither. I don't want the headache of having to deal with hosting problems. Instead, I just became an affiliate for my favorite web hosting company, and so in addition to my consulting fee, I get a nice hefty check for my sign-up bonus.
Plus, I don't think it's socially responsible for a web designer to host the site as well. I know too many clients with horror stories... they weren't happy with the design, or found out the fee was outrageous, or both, and ended up with their website being hijacked by someone who suddenly turned rude and obnoxious and threatening.
So, people looking to hire designers who might be reading this, take heed... go to the extra trouble to register your domain name yourself. Then sign up for web hosting yourself (again, separate companies). Go with the recommendation of your designer if they have one, but don't give away the root password to the account. Assign the designer their own FTP password for uploading files.
Which hosting plan ( dedicated/reseller ) would you choose if you a web studio?
The names can mean different things with different hosting companies. I'd choose the plan that met my needs, regardless of what it was called.
(I host my own servers, so I don't bother with what hosting companies call their plans. My only "hosted" site is one I fool around with, just to keep my knowledge of what a good hosting company is doing current. It's much easier if you host your own server.)
Reply:If you have your own studio I would definatley go with a dedicated plan. A reseller plan is someone who works for a webhost company and is "reselling" the host's plan to make a profit.
Alternatively, try startlogic's "Pro Logic" plan. They're a reputable company who has hit the 100,000 customer mark and offers features like 24/7 toll free support, free domain for life, moneyback guarantee etc. I've used them for a couple years now.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Has anyone come accross this web host?
I tried to set up an account with www.happyhost.org, which is supposed to be a free hosting service.
They sent me an e-mail with password etc. I tried to log on and got a response indicating bad password. I tried several times and finally thought I would try 'support'. 'support' turned out to be a blank page. So I tried 'faq'. 'faq' read as follows:
"FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions.
Q: Are You sure ?
A: Yes of course i'm sure
Q: Why ?
A: Beacuse"
I noted that all their links were advertising - would you believe - various hosting services, but none of them free.
Does this seem like a scam to you? And they were carrying loads of ads by Google. Do Google never check on who they choose to advertise with?

I need to start a web site?
I've never done this before,
and I'm just planning to do a type of blog thing...
I have someone very talented making the layout,
but I need to get a domain?
and something about web hosting?
can someone PLEASE explain to me what they are,
where I may find them,
and how much it may cost.
thank you.

I need to start a web site?
If you are just getting started it is probably easiest to start with a blogging service. Here are a few of the most popular ones:
http://www.livejournal.com
http://www.blogger.com
http://www.wordpress.com
They all offer a number of features that allow you to customize the look and feel of your blog.
Reply:well, you could do a free blog in Blogger or in Wordpress. In Blogger you don`t need a domain or a hosting for begin.
Reply:Wordpress is great blogging software.
To get a domain and web hosting, you need to sign up with a web host. These run 7-10 dollars per month. Or you could just get a domain, which is about $10 per year.
I recommend Dreamhost. They're a great service, who will give you more storage and bandwidth than you'll ever need, in addition the support is great.
I'm currently building a website on... building web sites! So the thing is, I'm not done with it. But, I have made the page on Dream Host coupon codes, check it out:
mylosthighway.net/promo.php
Just don't be too critical of the rest of the site content = D
%26lt;!-- ************************************* --%26gt;
Almost every web hosting site (well any good ones, at least. Not free ones) will let you post ads. I believe all you have to do for Adsense is to input a code, which I'm pretty sure you could do with Wordpress if you do it right.
Reply:you have to apply for google ads but if you buy a domain name then you are qualified in that regard.
Reply:For own domain you can try Microsoft Officelive Basic that it provides free domain and web hosting. However, there are limitations of making your own site like no uploading exiting site.
You may try using free webhosting service with subdomain and then upload the php Blog package to the hosting server.
For free webhosting service you can try

For php Blog package you can go

Reply:You can find step by step guide on how to create a website at website like http://oktutorial.com/webdesign.htm

Reply:Dear fiend, if you want to start a website I suggest you to purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.
And any bad web hosting service would trouble you for a long period. At first, try to choose a professional service to get rid of the subsequent problems. And also please don鈥檛 trust dishonest claims like unlimited hosting space or unlimited bandwidth!
As an experienced webmaster I suggest BlueHost service which I鈥檓 sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting %26amp; I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

Reply:For web hosting, go with HostGator. Includes Wordpress plugin making it a breeze to start a blog.
Reply:You need a domain such as www.yourname.com and need webhosting to publish webpages.
If you are serious about websites either for personal or your business, don't go to free web hosting as they are usually not reliable and you may end up losing all your hard work. Free web hosts usually put advertisements on your websites and it could be annoying.
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.

What are the best photo management services/programs for a web site?
I'm looking for a photo management service (or software) that allows me to take advantage of my web hosting plan so that I can use the 2GB of space I've paid for (as opposed to like 20MB of free hosting). Any suggestions on what would organize the photos and save me the HTML time?
Thanks for your answers and sorry if the question is confusing!
What are the best photo management services/programs for a web site?
yahoo is unlimited, flckr is a good service, but best when paid for pro, finally, i'd say check shutterfly.

I am working with a web design guy who I set up FTP access for but he now wants my user name and password to..
access my web hosting control panel so that he can implement the CMS he has set up ...does this make sense?
I am working with a web design guy who I set up FTP access for but he now wants my user name and password to..
Yeah he needs the user name and password to upload the file to your web server.
Alex
I am working with a web design guy who I set up FTP access for but he now wants my user name and password to..
how else can he upload the files?
Reply:Yea...the web design guy needs access to pretty much everything. Make sure you trust them.
Reply:that sounds hinky, don't give it to him, if he does something illegal under your user name and password they will get you not him!
Reply:Yes, he can upload the files though FTP, but he needs the control panel to create the database(probably MySQL database)
Reply:is the CMS for you or Himself ?
if it is for you then either he will need access to the control panel to set up the sql database
or
you will have to set one up and give him the database details
Reply:He is going to have to get access, but you can set up a different user for him. Or if you can't ask your host to do it for you. Have it set up so that the new user can't see your email and stuff, but can do the things he needs to do, like setting up the databases on your mysql server (or whatever).
Reply:It's not out of the question, there are other ways though, depending on what your ISP offers.
If you have a good ISP with shell access, you may be able to provide him with ssh access instead of ftp. (files can be transferred using sftp) But, this depends on how your ISP is set up. (I actually prefer working with SSH over ftp) this is dangerous and may or may not involve giving him access to your email. (depends on where/how your ISP does things)
The other thing you can do is have the web person design everything on his/her development box and ship you the files, where you install them yourself. This is some-what technical and you may have to pay extra for tech support, but if you don't want them to access your FTP settings, it may be a good idea.
Finally, there are "shell tools" that a person can use to access your account w/out your FTP password. This is kind of dangerous, but you could install it for him/her and then they could use that to upload stuff. (and change file permissions, etc..) depending on the nature of the project, this may take more time. (I've had to resort to this in some cases where I needed shell access on a host that doesn't provide it)
Keep in mind, this person probably doesn't want access to your account any more than you want them to have access. Logging in to someone elses account is really something a professional would prefer to avoid doing whenever possible.
In any event, one thing you absolutely MUST do is change your password BEFORE giving it to this person and then change it back when they're done.
The trick is to change it before giving it to them.
Also, don't send it through email - I've actually seen accounts get compromised by emailing passwords. This is was a serious problem for me, as it actually appeared as though I had compromised the system.
These days, I've opted a policy where I refuse to login to any account that has had its credentials emailed to me.
Change your password first and do NOT send passwords through email channels.
