What web host should I choose? - Off-topic

Hello!
I got some money for Christmas and I want to use it to buy myself some hosting. I wanted to pick HostGator or HostMonster but what I want to do with the space is against their policy.
I need some server space to host all our family pictures with FTP access for everyone to upload their own pictures. We all have a camera and it's a pain in the butt to reunite all the pictures after the holidays especially with my parents not being together.
I'll also host my Wordpress blog on it so I need some bandwidth (about 70 clicks a day, nothing bad).
Anyone has a good host to suggest?

agree, my friend have ever offer me wit this one of web hosting..

Bluehost doesn't allow personal file hosting. :S

N1c0_ds how is whatever you're going to do against hostgator policy? I have to tell you now. Hostgator has the BEST customer service of them all. THE BEST. no joke. I love it. Would never give it up. I would use it until they actually tell you that you can't use it, which they probably won't.

use one of the following:
myjethost.com
1-nethost.co.uk
I am sure that myjethost.com will give you unlimited space and extra features if you tell them that i told you to sign up. Also i might get them to give you a discount of upto 50% or more.

My PayPal account went unverified and I can't do anything about it without a credit card. I guess I'll have to wait before I get a new web host for my blog and Gecko.

Exchange 2007 pushmail accounts

Hello all, I really debated on where to post this..I havent been too active for awhile on the forums, been busy, but I imagine I'll be snagging a Kaiser sometime coming up, so I suppose I'll stick it here.
I am offering Exchange 2007 pushmail accounts, with Outlook Web Access, and alias's, you can find more details, and pricing at http://gfyinc.org
My value plan monthly price is $4.00, or $44.00 for a year, but if you have donated to XDA Developers(as in star by your name) I will provide you with details to sign up for $3.00 a month, or $32.00 a year, or a $1.00 off any of the larger plans listed.
I am in no way trying to affiliate myself with XDA by offering the discount, and Im not setting a very good example by not having donated yet, I just know I or a lot of us wouldnt be here without this place, and want to encourage donations, I would rather you donate here, and receive the dollar a month discount.
Less than you pay for a cheeseburger and fires, and you get a whole month of instant html email sweetness.
P.M. me for details. sorry to kinda spam you, and thank you.

Like its says in my FAQ, if youre less that 15 days into the 30 day billing period, and unsatisfied, I will return your payment.
I do still have a couple upgrades I would like to put in place within the next month, but I really hate to spend too much more, when Im not really seeing that much interest from the get go, but if you want a month for free to check it out, let me know, I would appreciate any business.

Thanks for your input, after dumping a few grand into building redundant servers, and taking the time to set it all up, not to mention the stress, I really like to have some really nice person chime in and tell me and others its free elsewhere, its hard enough being the small guy and trying to compete in a world of giants.

Rather than complaining surely the best response would of been why your service is better than mail2web's? For example...
$4 a month gets you a mail alias. At M2W it's $4.95 a month.
Does your service included access using Outlook on a PC?
What about Spam filtering?
What about Anti Virus?

Please help me in choosing web hosting

Hi everyone,
I am sorry for possible offtopic, but I need your help in find new web hosting provider as soon as possible, because my current host (bluehost.com) is kicking me off, they say 'your account is using a lot server resources', but my website gets only about 200 visitors per day and my disk usage is 1500 MB (maybe they do not like that?)
Anyway, what would be your recommendations for getting reliable web hosting? Where are you hosting your websites? Are you happy with your providers?
I am now checking http://www.hosting24.com/ - offer looks very nice, but is it real that they can provide unlimited disk space?
I have contacted them about this question and they say something that "These days 500GB disk drive costs only $30 per month, so if some day we will run out of disk space we will simply add new 500GB disk drive with almost zero costs and you can continue uploading without any problems".
What do you think about it? Maybe things have changed in last 4 years? With my current provider I get only 2GB of disk space for $10 per month..
Any ideas and suggestions are much appreciated.
make sure you read their TOS.
its very possible that they do offer unlimited space in 500gb increments, but there might be a catch to it.
bluehosting.com is what I'm using. Haven't really tested their limits, but I can't complain. Fast, easy to use and comes with a great installer...
People have suggested HostGator to me, plainly because of the masses of voucher codes available online. But like everyone else said, check the TOS.
Rory
What kind of a site do you run that would cause so much stress on their servers? HMMMM?
shameless self promotion alert
www.gigahost.co.uk
while I havent actually finished our website yet the hosting is working 100%.

I've been satisfied for several years with 1&1.

[Paying-Must Read!!!] I am paying for someone to make an app for me. Please Read!!!!!

Hi I am paying for someone to make an app for me. It would be like the last.fm app where you can stream the music from the site, but it's for soundclick.com not last.fm. I would like to be able to sign into my account, view my favorite bands, rate/comment songs, Download songs to my sdcard right from the app, upload songs (for band accounts), and basically a fully functionally app that lets me use all the features on soundclick. I will pay $10 for someone to make the app. I will pay you via paypal, after the app is completed and being used on my G1.
An application like that would take a long time to create and cost way more then $10 to produce.
10 dollars? haha no comment
Lol, if you want an app like that you would have to pay way more than 10$. That app sounds really complex. I think you undervalue the amount of skill and work it takes to actually program an app. It's actually pretty hard ( I am a beginning coder myself ). Offering 10$ for something like that is almost an insult.
hmmm, but I thought making apps were free, all it took was time. and at least im offering something lmao. I could just be like I want some one to make it free lol. Well so it looks like no one's going to do it?

The SDK for android is free, but there's a fee to post things to the market. Not to mention that it takes a LOT of time to make. You're basically asking for months of someones time for $10.

yeah, but i'm not asking for it to be posted in the market lol I said for me lol. Whatever they decide to do with it when it's done is up to them . But I see where you are coming from .
Something like that would cost at least a few thousand dollar's worth of programmer's time. I don't know anything about soundclick, but it's very likely that it wouldn't be possible to make an app without their consent/help.
Your best bet is to suggest that they make an app themselves.

How would I go about suggesting it to them? Because don't you think i would be hard to contact the owner and have them listen to someone asking for them to make an app for android?

I would start at their Contact Page. Probably with the support email, then maybe business development if you don't get any response from support.
$10?!?!?
Are you out of your mind?
Make a real offer. I'm not a dev but I was thinking along these lines for Hero Mock Widgets:
Pay $500 per working mock Hero widgets plus 25% of profits gained.
Charge each widget $4.99 or $20 for the entire pack.
The demand for Hero ported to Cupcake is so large that I would make my $500 in less than a day (hell... maybe in just a couple of hours) since everyone would be purchasing the $20 widget pack. Then $5 would go to the dev for each download (say 1,000) download the first day (which wouldn't be too unrealistic given the demand) so the dev could easily make $1,500 for the work on release.
That would be a minimum offer!
$10... you won't even get an e-mail of interest for that. Even if it was going to be a free app on the Market. If anything you gave someone an idea to do it themselves, take the credit and charge what ever they want (like $0.99 for ten people like YOU that want it so badly) and he could make more than a lousey $10.
use imeem , they have an app

What are you talking about??? I dont want a widget. I dont even want rights to sell the app. I just want it made so that I can use it lmao.
wait for flash player then , once flash player is integrated u should be able to use all the features of the real site
Some companies pour millions into R&D for applications, $10 would barely buy them coffee. lol. Yeah, best bet is to contact soundclick and ask them if they're developing an app for android. Or hope there a dev out there that wants it as badly as you do, and is currently creating one.
YAY 600 posts.
The $10 is hilarious but besides that it probably isn't possible. There is no public API as far as I can tell. They also you a flash music player. Meaning there is no way to make the calls to stream the music.
Either email them and request it or wait till there is a flash player in android
So to sum everything up here: zayg1, it ain't gonna happen.
If you really want someone to write it for you try http://www.rent-a-coder.com there programmers will bid down against eachother for the job, you might only have to pay someone $1k
$10? Free to make? You don't know anything. Go read a book. Sorry.

[STORAGE/HOSTING] Need Web Storage to store your ROMs?

If you need some web space, I can give you just that. I have unlimited HDD space on my hosting account, so I can offer you up to 5GB for storing android ROMs via FTP. This is a great offer, as you can backup your ROMs, knowing that you won't have them expire on websites like RapidShare and MediaFire.
The best thing is, it doesn't cost a penny to you! All you need to do is PM me and I'll set things up and get everything rolling.
I offer storage space of 1GB, 3GB and 5GB. If you're lucky, you can get 10GB, only if I'm in a good mood. If you really need more space, pop me coffee money and I'll give you 25GB. That's enough to make dozens of super fast ROMs.
You'd get a URL like: http://cdn.coburndomain.net/android/<YourXDAUsernameHere>/ .
Current List of Users with ROM Storage:
Kiljacken - 10GB
So yeah, there you go devs! Let the requests flow in!
You seem to be in a generous mood is there any reason? gotten laid recently? ;p
Just a joke, always appreciated what you do for our tattoo community...
ur a nice guy
its
very rare to see such nice and generous guys like u
thanks for ur kind offer to the tattoo community
