What is a good webhosting service?

Posted onAuthorTruXter

I’m happy with my current host, and about to recommend a friend there.
but i am wondering what company gives the least amount of frustration?
bluehost?
justhost?
powweb?

I do plan to use php and mysql while working on their site for them.
so please any and all information is good.
Should I get justhost? all the sites say it’s great, but all the blogs and forums say it’s only a year old and a rip off. but i do not know. what do you think of justhost,bluehost,powweb ?
something other?
comments section is wide open you do not have to create an account to comment.

like this site says they are wonderful (read closely)
and they teach you how to search the internet to see if they “suck”
but I tried to search for something else
I found this when I searched “Scam”

Of course I found this when I followed their rules

But then again, we are talking about a tech community. Techies do pick and peck at all details, especially when worrying about income and monetizing the internet’s activity.

So people, tell what is good
Bang for buck, what is the best hosting plan
I personally Like Powweb, They seem to have the lowest cost and most options.

Internet Explorer released

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Well here we are passed the whole” let’s catch up with firefox” phase of adding tabs. Let’s see if explorer caught up on the whole ” well let’s let them see the page they are trying to access , before we ask them if they want to save the password.” One thing I hate is when a page will not load until I select yes or no on save password “what if I typoed”.

Some have informative responses (kinda)

Steve Ballmer, the chief executive officer of Microsoft, said: “With Internet Explorer 8, we are delivering a browser that gets people to the information they need, fast, and provides protection that no other browser can match.”

but here is the actual page so you can evaluate for yourself
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/default.aspx

Now you can quickly display websites that were designed for older browsers. If you’re looking at a page and the text or images aren’t lined up right, just use the new Compatibility View button next to the Refresh button on the Address Bar.

Shopping Tip: iPod Vs. Zune Vs. chiPod

Posted onAuthorTruXter

With the chiPod you pay an average of 30 buck a gig.

with the iPod you pay no less than 75 for the basic model.

with the Zune prices similar to iPod but start around 150+

iPod easy scratched and shattered.

chiPod, if you break it, oh well. You paid nearly nothing for it.

Zune is tough

iPod media is limited to only being played on iPod

chiPod, media is for old school p2p people, limited by only trends.

Zune same as iPod but both do play pirated stuff also. not vice versa. and not each other’s.

iPod gets updates to firmware when flaws are found.

chiPod you can complety hack the whole thing.

Zune gets mandated updates, I think.

OK, on to the good part

The iPod has a ton more content with iTunes being so poular and up and out and veterined to pleasing the customers with media they want. The iPod has tons of hacks that void the warranties, but you can do it anyway.

ChiPod has a comunity of freinds who all ban together to make and update and upgrade the firmware. Most of us have either a Zune or an iPod also but still love to mod our cheapy. the chiPod you can take anywhere without the stress of tearing up something good. My chiPod matched my iPod so no one knows the difference anyway when I am out and around. :P Battery life is pathetic, then again storage is not much greater.

Zune. This sucker looks like a tank and the whole software and interface is great not confusing , the storage on these is large and read times do not seem to be any worse than either of the other two. Battery life is awesome and amazing. Video suport very nice and looks really good. Dropped it and picked it right back up, no scratched even though it landed face down.

You make the decision from the observations I point out or just totally ignore me. I offer it’s up to you what to accept.
