Your Questions About Web Hosting Services
William asks…
How easy is to build your e-store with Fatcow or Justhost web hosting services?
Hi,
I need to know how easy is to use the tools of these two web hosting companies to build an e-store for a person who has not HTML knowledge? Anyone out there can tell their experience with either of these two companies? Thank you,
admin answers:
I would use neither of those, Fat Cow is too new to be reliable and Just Host is obsessed with claiming you are their top 1 member and giving you “special offers” to get more money from you.
I use and recommend http://www.hostmonsterplus.com
These are just some of my reasons:
It supports PHP, MySQL, and almost anything you’ll need.
It comes with a free domain name… Ex: whateveryouwant.com
It has unlimited storage and bandwidth.
You can also add an unlimited amount of domain names.
So with one account you can have many different .com websites. I have 6 right now.
Only $3.95 per month.
They also give you free $50 Google Credits for advertising your site.
I’ve been using them for 3 years and I’ll give them my thumbs up.
Now I would use this hosting service and combine it with PayPal checkout services, this way you can accept all types of payments including credit cards without any upfront costs like SSL purchases and such whilst still keeping your site secure.
Good luck with whatever you choose, and if you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

What Web Hosting services offer video streaming on your website?
I have a website hosted by godaddy.com but unless I buy the big dedicated server hosting plans, I can do live video streaming.
I have a camera setup at my church and I want to stream our services LIVE. With godaddy I cant unless I purchase a dedicated server hosting plan which start at like $60/month. Is there anything cheaper out there? Thanks!

John asks…
If I wanted to save money on web hosting services could I essentially host my website on my own computer?
I was curious if it was possible to turn a regular pc into a server for web hosting and would a special connection to the internet be required like maybe a T1 connection? Any special software needed for something like this? I know the computer would have to be turned on all the time but that’s not a big issue for me.
admin answers:
Yes, technically you could, but it’s not worth it.
It’s a lot of work and a lot more expensive than if you just got a professional hosting.
There are really cheap hosting offers I recommend one of these: http://www.top3hosts.com
iPage has the best offer right now.
Their standard price is $84/year ($6.95) but they have
a 50% sale, one year of hosting for $42.00.
Their plan includes:
Unlimited disk space
Unlimited bandwidth
Free domain name
Price: $42/year ($3.50)
They have one of the most popular hosting platforms, which currently hosts over a million websites. They’re also one of the oldest hosting companies, founded in 1998.
Sharon asks…
Looking for web hosting services, is this not available for Mac OS?
I am new to this process. However, I went in to register my domain names at Go Daddy and went to choose my web hosting service and it only had options for Linux- and Windows-based OS. As a Mac owner what are my options? I ran into this issue at Enom as well. I plan to use Joomla as my CMS (not sure if this helps).
admin answers:
What they mean is the server is running either Linux or Windows. If you use a mac you will still be able to view it. Most users use Linux as it’s cheaper and web hosting wise you won’t really notice a difference (unless your a web applications developer etc…) For Joomla that would be fine with any host which allows databases.
I run a small website too which is being hosted by CGIwire (http://CGIwire.com) – So far their help has been amazing (setup within minutes which was very impressive).
