A while ago I said I'd get new hosting... well I just used up my money to do it for a year.

The process isn't done or anything, but I've been billed, so that's enough confirmation for me. I mean, if they're going to take my money, I should be able to say I bought it, right?

I can pretty much do everything now... yay me.

Now if only I had some financial aide so I could keep this up... And maybe get IPB for us...

[Ristau]

YEAY BLAZER!!!!!!!! If only I knew what half of these features did...

Does that mean we can change it from Forums.fehsinre.net to Feshrine.net/Forums!!!?? Jk I'm too used to Forums. now xP

[Rujio]

I have no idea what most of that means, but, congratulations? Anyways, it says that it supports streaming video and audio. Does this mean we wouldn't have to link to those anymore? I mean, obviously there are times when we should, but still.

[Fire Blazer]

LOL right I should have made it into standard terms.

I have unlimited space, my site won't crash if tons of people visit it (at least it shouldn't), I don't have to worry about server resources anymore, feshrine.net stays as long as I pay this continuous amount of money >_> there are lots of new e-mail features and the site is now "better".

^Too bad I don't have Jcink's edition of IPB v1.3 or I'd host it on the mainsite, too. :\

Oh yeah, and I'd kinda like to hear more of what you have to say, Tino, since you'd probably be most familiar with the "terminology". XD

[Tino]

There's not much for me to say though. It all looks good to me.

Though, why is PHP a "bonus feature"? It's just something that piqued my interest.

[Memento Mori]

The memory bandwidth is apparently quite a strain on most lower segments of hosting, according to a friend of mine quite experienced in the webmistreesing field.

Also, Joomla, **** yes.

[Fire Blazer]

How do you pronounce "Joomla"? For whatever reason it seems like one of the words you'd pronounce the 'j' as 'h' (akin to Spanish).

As for the placement of PHP, honestly, I can't say-- probably just trying to make it sound extra good or something. Most decent free hosts allow for PHP so it is indeed weird.

Almost finished making the back-up. Once I am done I can finally change DNS and upload new site and everything and hopefully everything will work. Then I can start adding "new" features and updating with more content... hopefully... although my trip might intervene with the amount of time I have to do said things.

You should convert the site to PHP! Or atleast use SSI. And you might wanna use .htaccess for url renaming and IP banning...

[Blazing_Soul]

If you need help Blazer............. I'm here for you >_>

[Fire Blazer]

[Tino]

URL renaming, or utilizing "clean URLs", is the act of making URLs with GET variables look better. It allows search engines to index the pages more properly, allows users to have more ease in finding a certain spot on the site they found earlier, etc.

For example, let's say you have this URL: http://www.something...&id=86980428583

It would obviously be much easier on the eye (and a _lot_ better for search engine indexing) to have this URL: http://www.something...es/Some_Article

It's generally done using the Apache mod_rewrite module and a .htaccess file containing "RewriteRule" commands, though there are other, less practical ways.

Also, explain to me why PHP fails and why you dislike it. I demand an explanation. : )

[Fire Blazer]

Well, PHP may not fail, but I dislike it. And as I said, "Don't want to discuss."

Where in my site would I need URL renaming (besides the gallery which I don't feel like managing). >_>

Site isn't all back yet. The music section and the gallery section aren't uploaded. Once everything is back I will make an official update on the mainsite and then prepare myself for some content updates.

[Tino]

You don't need it if you don't use PHP.

[Fire Blazer]

I'm fine doing things the way I do them now, however thanks for the suggestions.

EDIT: Tino, I need some help getting the gallery back together again. I have all the files and the database but I'ma still need some help... If I give you an FTP account would that be enough to help, or would you need access to phpMyAdmin as well? :\

[Prince Marph]

This... this is pretty awesome.

PHP... I can't say I'm experienced. LOL MEANINGLESS

[Ramiel]

Yeah, good to see new hosting. I am happy with it.

[Tino]

[Fire Blazer]

Yes, it is similar, but not the same.
