Bio-Hazard Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 I believe there is a version of a webserver for windows called CIS, I remember using it, so I know one exists. Other than that, what are you hosting? I actually prefer using some cheap tricks to host stuff. Oh no, I'm giving away a web secret!! Anyways, I'll host just about everything off imageshack.us, convert documents to .swf link up other movies within .swf basically, it's a whole flash site. You can host a whole flashsite off imageshack. Images also, it's so simple. I mean if it's a program that rakes in money, then you should have enough money to buy a new server..... of course.... But if it's opensource, I'm sure you can find some free servers to to put the files in. Maybe you could host opensource on sourceforce w/e it is.. *forgets*
kenel Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 calbiterol, if you can PM me your last 3 months stats, I will see what I can do for you in regards to "free" hosting. It won't be anything close to my packages, but it'll get you by.
calbiterol Posted August 26, 2005 Author Posted August 26, 2005 Kenel, about that: In the past three months, my situation with the site has been the following: 1.)Massive development spurt, almost finishing an entire site in less than a month; 2.)gone for a month; 3.) very little work while preparing for school to start. I've also hosted random images there that I call upon remotely, for pages that support remote image requests but not local hosting (like a forum). The entire time (except, of course, when I was on vacation) I was doing limited testing and debugging. So, long story short, I have no idea what my traffic will be like. It could be quite large or quite small. I just simply don't know. One more thing - I am currently hosting both a (sub)domain and a subdomain. The first subdomain is a subdomain of their site; this is my personal site. The subdomain of that is one that I run for some of the fine arts at my school. Either of these could generate large amounts of traffic, and if I go the pay route (which I know I will do sometime, and now is probably the time) then I will register these as seperate domains. Thanks loads for all the help. It's looking like I'll have a day or two of downtime on my site (not that it really matters all that much at this point ) while I decide what to do. P.S.: if anyone's wondering, I do all of my webpages by myself using source code, and I'm completely self-taught. I don't use any development app's (unless you count WordPad, or a souped-up version of it with syntax coloring). I write web code in PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, PERL, and do a bit with SQL/mySQL db's.
