Stupid permissions are going to send me to an early grave :P. Anyway, its fixed. I had to go through the entire directory again and set the permissions. Dunno why it only worked for some of the files last time.

Is it just me, or is the guide currently down at the moment? I'm getting an error saying the account has been suspended (a bit annoying because some of the kids like using it for tips on how to do things!).

No, it also says it is suspended for me too.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I do not know why the account has been suspended, nor have I recieved notification of this, but have sent an appeal to the host, and hope to have it back up, or, at the very least, a reason as to why the account was suspended. I haven't violated any ToS, so no clue why this has happened.

I appologize for the inconvenience, and am considering looking for a new host ;).

Already appealed. They have not replied. I have not violated any terms of service, nor recieved any warning. Needless to say, I am looking for a new host. Suggestions?

"viviti.com" is free for 6 months, and you could use that for a temporary host, but I dunno about permanent hosts, I'd need to do a little research.

Meh, not sure about them, they aren't that good of a host.

I might consider paying for a cheap host, such as:
http://www.webhostinghub.com/
http://www.ipage.com/ipage/index.html
http://www.inmotionhosting.com/hostingplans.html

After all, all I need from a host is: enough bandwidth to serve the needs of the site (but, if I were to get a host that offers very high or infinite bandwidth/filespace, I'll happily host all the glest mods in one location, making it possible to create a mod downloader), PHP 5, a SQL database, preferably MySQL, support for the use of .htaccess, etc; The rest is just pretty extras. It's probably the cost that's the biggest issue, but even I can afford $5 a month, and if I add ads, I can probably cover most of the costs. Biggest issue is how to pay, since I've never been really able to put money onto my paypal, though I am going to apply for a credit card soon (got a new job anyway). Nothing immediately, though I should get uploaded to a free site until I can get a commercial host.

Re: Glest Guide -- New domain: glestguide.co.cc
« Reply #136 on: 19 October 2010, 22:45:42 »
Well, it's finally up, and the new domain is http://glestguide.co.cc/

Note, of course, that it's not without flaw. This is just temporary hosting until I can get a commercial host, and will only allow 2k viewers a month... Still, it'll do for now. 110mb still hasn't replied to my appeal, so I've left them forever :|.

More information can be found at:
http://glestguide.co.cc/archives/7kr0uj190b.php

Note:
Due to server changes and permission changes, please report ANY errors or oddities you encounter (though don't report outdated information, that'll be changed soon). Noting that at the moment, the archive articles (including the one above) have a faulty CSS link and look funny. That is being fixed, once my FTP client finishes cycling through all the permissions... Fixed. No known errors (note: the fix may take up to 48 hours to be reflected on the server)

Also, I now have access to subdomains, and military claims the first stake!

I see, you used freehostingcloud. Looks good, cept the 2,000 viewers limit. How many visitors did you get before per month, though...
Edit: don't forget to edit the "news"...

Thanks for reminding me.

Hmm... According to google analytics, september had 300 views, though I'm not sure when exactly the site went down. Being well under 2k views, we are good for now. It appears to be completely unrestricted, the only limitation being the 2k view limit, so obviously no full mod hosting there yet, though I suppose I can start preparing a better download station. Now... If only some genius programmer could make the download client... :)

Ah, thanks. There's gonna be a ton of broken links now, especially since I originally hoped that when I moved to a new domain, I could just post redirects on the 110mb site, but seeing they locked that account and haven't replied since, that isn't possible...

I'll get the links in Military though too...

I'm with byethost.com . In the cpanel it says I have unlimited disk space and 256GB monthly bandwidth. Has all the features you would expect from a good webhost. Haven't had a problem with them, even on their free hosting plan (no ads). $2.99 per month and you get a free domain name if you sign up for a year.

The free plan has just 50GB less bandwidth, limited at 5500 MB disk space, no free domain (but you can use the co.cc one) and less install scripts.

Edit: I'm not sure if it was an oversight of freehostingcloud but their features page says all accounts have a file size limit of 30MB and the premium account section doesn't suggest that it's different when you pay. This would make it extremely difficult to upload mods.

I'm not going to use this host when I upgrade to a commercial! I can get better for 1/3 the price. To be honest, I like the iPage hosting... Upon closer inspection, the first changes the cost based on initial purchase and is even higher after that initial purchase, it's 6.50 a month after the initial 3.50, but that's still reasonable, and I'm reading up on reviews on it, which look quite favourable:

http://www.thetop10bestwebhosting.com/us-hosting-reviews/ipage
http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.com/ipage-review/
http://ipagehostingreview.com/ (link here for 2.99 a month)

Or, as an alternative, I did find another site with very favourable reviews, JustHost, which sports the same price at 3.50 starting (though, as always, it depends on the pay rate. ie: pay every 48 months for 3.45 a month, while paying every month would be 7.95 a month, etc...)



To be honest, all I really need is:
-Full access to permissions and files
-Ability to use CGI scripts
-PHP5
-Access to .htaccess and robots.txt
-MySQL database
-Unlimited bandwidth/disk space/max file size/sql databases
-Email accounts
-FTP accounts

Of course, that's just what I specifically need... If we are gonna go into what I WANT... Well, I'd just take everything and have fun with it ;).

I know someone that used it before, but that's about it. Not sure how it went...
Anyways, I heard that their fees are like this...
Quote
1 month - $7.95 per month - $20.00 setup - $9.95 Domain registration ( total $37.90 )
6 months- $6.95 per month - Free setup - $9.95 Domain registration (total $41.70 )
12 months - $5.95 per month - Free setup - Free Domain registration (total $71.40 )
24 months - $4.95 per month - Free setup - Free Domain registration (total $118.80)
Or something like that...better double check.

You got it. Thus, why I'm leaning towards iPage. Hosting over 1 million webpages can't be a bad sign either. :) Of course, plans aren't immediate. Started a new job, and gotta see how things turn out.
