Your Questions About Web Host For Frontpage

Ruth asks…

If I use frontpage i need to get a host of windows server not unix server? can somebody explain?

because i saw the advertize of web hosts, they dont say anything like windows server or unix server. Or can i use any host with frontpage?
I am going to make a webpage for google adsense. Please help.

admin answers:

You don’t need a Windows server. UNIX is fine.

You might need a host that supports Frontpage Extensions if you plan to use some features of Frontpage, but most people can get by without those features, and last time I checked they were available for UNIX and Windows systems.

Personally I would avoid Frontpage though. The quality of its output is generally rather low. Dreamweaver is better, but nothing is a good substitute for learning HTML and CSS.

How upload files from frontpage or web expression and FTP?

I’m having problems changing from frontpage to expression and filezilla. My server quit with the frontpage extensions and so I’ve got to find another way to update our website and I’m feeling like I need to take a college course in web design to figure it out!

I’ve used Frontpage for the last 6 years and I never fully understood it either, so that is part of my problem. Let me explain…our website has a .com and .net version. Through the .net, (I have no idea how this happened) but all I had to do was make whatever changes to the pages that I wanted, for instance, changing our hours of business on the about us page and then save. I didn’t even have to click on publish. I have no idea why, but by saving, it changed the pages online. Now…with our .com site, I did have to actually click publish, but it was set so that it changed my changes, but I didn’t have to select which files to upload or anything like that. I’m sure all of this wasn’t very secure, but WOW it was easy!!

So now I’ve downloaded filezilla and I’ve purchased Web Expressions and can’t figure out either. With Filezilla, I’m logged in and it says files transferred, and directory updated, but when I go to the http: version of the website there are no changes. Now, if I enter the ftp:// address and log in, I see changes.

With Web Expressions, it tells me that there are errors with my destination address, which I’ve asked my server about. So I either need a ftp for dummies explanation or I don’t know! I am so clueless about what I’m doing that I don’t even know the correct questions to ask. This is about to stress me to my limit. The only reason I even started doing the website myself is b/c our web host/designer would take months to get the updates on the site and then they weren’t “updates”!

admin answers:

Use Adobe Dreamweaver’s own FTP file upload/download/manage system. You will not need any of the other stuff!

Helen asks…

How can I use my GoDaddy account with FileZilla & Microsoft Frontpage 2003 or Microsoft Expression Web?

I’ve done this before with a different web host, but I don’t remember how I did it. I know for FileZilla I need a username, password, and host name. I know my username and password, but not the host name. www.godaddy.com? Where would I get this information? Any help would be appreciated.

admin answers:

The host name for a godaddy account is your website domain name.

I wouldn’t use Front Page (for anything). Use a text editor ot, if you must use a WYSIWYG editor, use something like Kompozer. Microsoft products assume that all web code runs on Microsoft servers (which is far from true) – and most web servers choke on the garbage they put out. Even if the server handles it, many web browsers choke on it.

Your Questions About Best Web Hosting

Ken asks…

What is the best web hosting website out there?

I am a webmaster for an artist’s website, and I was just wondering what is the best web hosting service out there in your opinion? I am concerned about price, quality of customer service, easy navigation around the website, and website editing options.
Thanks guys!
And also, I know about Frontpage, too, and that isn’t what I’m looking for.

I’d like to make a more professional looking website. If there is a service that offers modern templates that I can work with, that would be perfect.

admin answers:

Hi – Here’s a website that gives excellent reviews of the different top web hosts and helps you choose the best one for your needs. See –

https://www.website-hosting-reviews.net/

I agree that Frontpage isn’t the way to go. Have you checked out self hosted WordPress yet? It’s pretty slick. Good luck!

Charles asks…

Which is the best web hosting company in India?

Friends I am planning to open a website. I found lots of hosting companies on net. But, I need one best company which can offer me enough space at good price( Not cheap just formidable one), With enough facilities to run a entartainment site, also it should have 24*7 customer support. I am native of India please help me with this problem. If you have web address of the site pls give me.

admin answers:

Hi Nice Friend!,

To be honest, web hosting companies located in India usually come with these 3 issues:

– Expensive at the price (compared to US based companies)
– Poor customer support
– Low uptime

Let me ask you, who’s your target audience? If your site is targeting local visitors, then you have no choice but to host your site with a web hosting company in India because hosting your site out of India may somewhat decrease your website response to your Indian visitors.

However, if you’re targeting the globe, then a US based web hosting company would be your best option.

Why I can tell you that because I got several friends in India, while only 2 are using local web hosts because they’re targeting the local visitors, the rest are using US based web hosts which usually provide better quality service.

Also, since you say you need to run an entertainment site, I suppose you’ll be uploading lots of videos and audios.

If that’s the case, dedicated hosting is required should you host with a web hosting company in India because only their dedicated hosting plan can support that. But take note, it costs more than US$150 (Rs 7000) per month for that.

Whereas if you pick up a robust US based company, its shared hosting (costs only from $5 to $8 per month – less than Rs 400) is enough to cater to the kind of website you intend to build.

So, hosting with a US based company can offer you enough space yet give you a very good price, but again, depending on who your audience is.

Note: All dedicated hosting plans do not come with money back guarantee, regardless of regions. Only shared hosting does.

If you’re targeting local audience, according to my friend, you can try ZNetIndia.com. It resides in India. They provide 24/7 phone support but as for live chat, it’s only from Mon to Sat 9:30 am to 8pm. (Tip: Check with their support team regarding your requirements before you order.)

But if you’re building a site for the world, then go for a US based company. Here’s a complete review of a formidable US based web host that you can bet your life on (it comes with 24/7 phone, live chat and email support – very customer-oriented!):

=> https://tinyurl.com/best-reliable-host

Think carefully about what you want. You may need to re-assess your requirements. And here’s a good info that shows you how to choose your perfect web host:

Hope that helps. Cheers 😉

Your Questions About Best Web Host

Richard asks…

Best web host and easiest way to set up a blog on my web host?

I have been wanting to set up a blog online for a really long time. I have looked at a few web hosts (I don’t want free hosting, I like having freedom to customize my page completely, which only a paid web host appears to allow), and I can’t decide which one is best to use. Also, what is the best way to set up a blog on my web host once I’ve got one?

admin answers:

I suggest you check My Webbie Hosting. They have PHP installer which you can use to install blogging script in just a single click. Also, the plans are very affordable. The cheapest is only $3.95/month

David asks…

What is the best web host for a blog with wordpress where I can include ads?

I currently have a blog with the free wordpress and I like the program but I need to transfer it to the version that its downloaded now I need to find the best web host for my blog with wordpress included where I can include ads.

admin answers:

I recommend one of these: https://www.hosttell.com/

Powweb is on a 50% sale – $3.88/month ($46.56/year), and you get a free domain from them.

They all include easy one click install of WordPress through Fantastico.
You can include ads to it, and customize it however you want.

George asks…

Whats the best web host or website host?

I need to put my website online. What hosting company should i go with?

I dont have alot of technical knowledge, so what web host has best support for newbies as well as the best price?

admin answers:

I’d go with HostGator or Dreamhost definately.

Both will give you the best support of any hosting company around. Dreamhost is employee owned, so they seem like they truly care about their customers. Hostgator has awsome support. I have accounts with Dreamhost, Godaddy, Hostgator, and BlueHost. Withouth a doubt, of all those Dreamhost and Hostgator by far have been the best.

I have had no downtime on any of my sites and their support is great. Dreamhost also offers a 100% uptime guarantee and they even have a $97 day money back guarantee if you decide you dont like them. That way you can try them out to see if you like them.

I would say Dreamhost is slightly better than Hostgator, but they will both treat you great and offer one on one help in case you run into problems, whereas some of the big companies, ie godaddy are terrible to deal with if you need one on one support with someone that speaks good english, especially if your not tech savy.

Here are some Dreamhost coupon codes in case you decide to try them:

20OFFHOSTING ($20 Off Hosting Package)
2DOMFREE (2 Additional Free Domain Names with Signup)
1IPFORFREE (Get 1 Free Lifetime Unique IP)
65OFFHOSTING ($65 Off 1 Year Hosting Package)
SAVEMONTHLY ($40 off Monthly Hosting Package)

Here are some coupons for Hostgator:

SNOWMAN (20% off)
BOSTON (25$ off)
HOUSTON ($25 off)
HGC25 ($9.94 off new hosting)

Good luck in your decision!

Donna asks…

where can I find the best web host reviews?

I’ve seen some good enough reviews on the web (best seems to be from https://best–web–host.webs.com) but most others are from corrupt sites that place each site in order according to the money the ads pay! Got any suggestions?

admin answers:

Yawn…. Let me guess. You own best-web-host.webs.com. But you want people to think you don’t. Ask a real question and stop advertising.

Your Questions About Google Web Hosting

Charles asks…

Is Google Apps web hosting?

I purchased my domain through Google. Now do I need to purchase web hosting through another company?

How exactly does this work?

admin answers:

Google Apps is NOT web hosting. Rather, it provides services FOR your web hosting.

If you’re looking for the best reliable host with amazing prices go with DreamHost.com and use the promo/coupon code LUCKY10 to get $10 off any package. Contact their support team and they’ll give you more info about setting up Google Apps for your domain.

Careful, there are a lot of hosting scams out there, I strongly suggest DreamHost.

Mandy asks…

Free web hosting for Google adsense?

I’m looking into creating a website dedicated to free samples and the like. (freebie fanatic, I know) I wanted to host Google adsense ads, but I wanted to use free hosting to start with. Does anyone know of a free website host that will allow me to put the Google adsense on there? The ones I’ve looked at so far won’t allow it because they already use the adsense themselves.

admin answers:

Well Free web hosting is not reliable… I am using bluehost webhosting and i am very much satisfied with high uptime…apart from that i also like their fast speed and reliable support

George asks…

google for web hosting server?

if I use google for web hosting, is there a server that I can upload .html files to? Or am I forced to use a special page creator program? Thanks

admin answers:

Google is a free host, right? I’d recommend you go with a paid service. Free hosts have the right to do whatever they please with your content.

Try companies such as Bluehost or Startlogic.

How Should I Promote My New Website?

I recently created a new website at https://wordpress-hosting-reviews.com that will provide readers with web hosting reviews and ratings written by actual customers. Can you recommend any creative ways to entice people to write reviews?

I know how to get traffic to the site, but not how to get people to leave their comments. Right now, I’m trying a promotion offering to donate $2 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for everyone who write a comment. Unfortunately, that’s not really working either.

Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Get a landing page from x-generation to tap into the market.

Ruth asks…

best web hosting provider?

I have read many shared web hosting reviews and in fact asked a question a few days agon on Yahoo answers however I believe I closed the question by mistake.

I am looking for reliablity, EXPECIALLY good customer support, and advanced features. As I am IT pro, I am looking for a reliable business hosting for a client. Customer support must be great. Tons of features should be available. PHP based. What I’m looking at here is not cheap but a value for money option. Cheap of course would be better but don’t want to compromise.

Some people recommended HostMonster.com, Slicehost.com (not interested in VPS plan),inmotionhosting.com, bluehost.com.

So my top 3 in the list are:
1) bluehost
2) inmotionhosting
3) HostMonster

However ratings at https://www.besthostratings.com at not a wow….

Any personal experience to share please?

Cheers

Anyone been with MediaEnd (www.mediaend.com) or Steadfast (Steadfast.com)

Could anyone please point out own experience? Any recommendations?.Please don’t recommend by just sending review links – been through that already.

Thanks
I thought I will give some hosts a some stress tests myself :). For anyone looking for a host like me, here’s some feedback
– Inmotion support never replied my email, Live chat took 4 mins for initial response. After my 2nd question I’ve received
a reply after another 5 mins and stopped replying after my 3nd question without any notice.
– Powweb – Support facility is quite basic.
– Fatcow good support response and helful however no demo cpanel site, and lack features such as fantastico.
– HostMonster good support for round 1. However on round 2, the other operator was not so friendly. As for backups, the tech guy that backups MAY be taken on a weekly basis…MAYBE lol…(guess all depends on the sys admin mood)
– Weblaunchingpad lousy techical support.
– HostGator very good support however prices are more expensive than competitors
-JustHost VERY good support for round 1. However on round 2, the other operator was not so friendly.

Also another hosting asked me to confirm my identity by specifing the cpanel admin password!! (yes your password) or paypal
reference number.

Anyone else can share own experience with HostGator or Justhost.com?

admin answers:

Ok, I use https://www.hostmonsterplus.com
I used to use Blue Host, but it appears their IP has some issues with the Chinese firewall.

Host Monster and Blue Host and actually the same company, or 2 sub divisions of 1 mother company. The only difference is that https://www.hostmonsterplus.com is cheaper, handles a few more databases per account and has no problems with the Chinese firewall.

As for inmotion, when I was reading reviews, I wasn’t overly impressed by the amount of complaints I’ve read around, and I’ve never had a reason to leave Host Monster. So I can’t give a real review on them.

But out of Host Monster and Blue Host, go for Host Monster.
Also, if you do choose Blue Host and can’t get onto it while in China, use the Host Monster support and tell them you’re from Blue Host and your problem, it’s the same support people so you can still contact them there, but it’s best to avoid the problem all together in all honesty.

Good luck, and I hope you enjoy your choice. If you have any issues you can PM me.
