[redfootagebooby]

I have purchased domain name and its time for web hosting.. Web hosting service provider asks me which plan? I said windows hosting. Anyway for creating web site on e107, phpbb3 and mediawiki what more services should i check that exists on the hosting plan? Should i demand hosting for ASP.NET?
question i have is
1. "What necessary steps should i know before hosting? such as how will i be able to create pages in advance so after getting hosting i can quick upload and make my website ready with message boards. Please provide some links too.. (for e107, phpbb3 and mediawiki only)

2. DO i need unlimited email accounts (What about sethioz.com?) im asking because there will be lot of people will register there.
3. According to your concern, what bandwidth should i expect?
4.How many web space is sufficient? (for forums) should i go with unlimited plans?

i suggest getting hosting24.com.
i have unlimited space and unlimited bandwitdh usage. yes, UNLIMITED space. however you cannot use it as storage.
hosting24 has pretty much everything you need and customer support is top class. they reply in 1-2 hours.
unlimited is always best option, but if you do not plan to host any files or videos, then even 1gb is more than enough.

most hostings support asp.net and such. so i dont see problem there.

all you need is to google for the ones i mentioned. e107, phpbb3 and mediawiki. hostings that use cPanel, you can upload .zip file directly and unpack via cPanel (its web-based, you'll see once you get hosting). then you must modify the code, colors, pics..etc to your liking.
ofcourse you need SQL database too. 99% of hostings provide phpmyadmin, so np there.

im using smartFTP to upload/download files. its very easy and handy. it can open split windows, one being your HDD and other being hosting, so you can easily move files between hosting <> PC.

i use dreamweaver, photoshop and some other small tools to design custom pages. also im using notepad++ to write php code directly or to simply modify it.

firebug is most useful when i want to modify existing pages. look around, i have some tutorials where i have used firebug. at least i should have ..

Thanks! I also dont understand this:

1. Why SQL databases are used for?
2.When a user registers on forum, he gets email account, what kind of hosting does it need? for e.g. There was a hosting service that was providing unlimited emails but they said other users cant make emails because we give you only one cpanel. such as ([email protected] and redfootagebooby)
both are different emails. i dont get privilege for getting [email protected] rights. but i can login (how it hosts?)

3. Is there any way to modify e107 offline? via any virtual cpanel so i can get idea how my website looks? (I want to make my pages ready)

4.What if Web host service do not provide phpMyadmin but PHP5/Frontpage? Please check my first post. There is no phpmyadmin.

5. Did you design all the pages in your website using dreamweaver?

PS: I m so excited
Thanks a lot

you are making no sense, i think you need to go back to basics.
email and SQL database have nothing in common.
[email protected] < i own sethioz.com, ofcourse you can't get that email.

When a user registers on forum, he gets email account, what kind of hosting does it need?

this makes no sense. when you register, you do not get any email account. i have never seen any hosting or forum giving you email account when you register.

Is there any way to modify e107 offline? via any virtual cpanel so i can get idea how my website looks?

once again, back to basics.
what does cPanel have anything to do with your website ? cPanel is administration tool for servers, not a website creator.
if you want to test your site, you have to install a server in your pc and go to localhost


you can't make a website with this knowledge, you first have to read what php, mysql, email, cpanel ..etc are.
best way for you is to start a basic site by using a website system.
hosting24 has a tool that can automatically setup website system for you, it doesnt have e107, but it has many others. i think thats best for somebody with basic knowledge.
i made my first website 100% myself, using dreamweaver, but it was too annoying to make pages and stuff, dont have time for that anymore and its pointless too.

Oh! Sorry for being non-sense. I typed in very hurry.

I mean "if A user register an account in forum, where are the data saved? (In SQL Database??) and how it get accesed? I was just asking it has no related with what web hosting provider provides e-mail hosting.

I admit i cant make website with this knowledge, i am sorry to myself!! but i am doing my best. ("Project Sethioz" is my project name im workin on)

I will leave making website but wont use website creation tools. it sucks! i am not a kid, what if i dont have knowledge!!
Im doing .. im working.. in dreamweaver..
Sorry for being annoying! :D
