How to get an xfir website?

xfir · « **Reply #1 on:** June 26, 2004, 10:46:16 AM »

I'm still debating whether or not to host you. In the most likely scenario, I will. But first, I'd like to see if you are any good with HTML. Could you send a sample to me? xfir @ xfir.net (No spaces)

PlayingOutpost0-24 · « **Reply #2 on:** June 26, 2004, 12:25:48 PM »

OK, what do you want: Frames, Images, Links, CSS Styles... Just tell me

I think he is skilled

CK9 · « **Reply #4 on:** June 26, 2004, 04:00:34 PM »

lol, x, come'on. I didn't know anything about HTML, of course, you came to me with the offer instead of me asking you...Geocities sucks!

I have my own host....they're so cheap, why not just get one yourself. I pay $10 a month and get 1 gig of web-space, 3 free domain names, 150 pop3 e-mail addresses, 15 gig's of bandwidth, and much much more...so again, why not just sign up for one yourself?

1 February
10$... I go to the change office, go up to Budapest (180 km), so it won't be lost by the postman and I post the 10$ via air mail to arrive at America to the end of February...

You could pay with a check card or credit card...

One thing that sucks with my host is that I only get 1 MySQL Database...so only 1 forum..I would love to have another one to test stuff on. Instead I mod my forum and hope that it works and doesn't screw everything up.

Haven't thought of it...

Speaking of hosting :rolleyes:

Any Chance of Hosting Me?

CK9 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 19, 2004, 10:33:02 PM »

x, how much space is punboy giving you again? If you're not careful, it looks like everyone will want a site, lol

ZeusBD · « **Reply #11 on:** July 20, 2004, 07:59:17 AM »

I can host 1 person currently (I only have 5 ftp accounts and 4 are taken, so that leaves just one). Though it would be limited (maybe 500 meg web-space) and I don't have any extra MySQL database's, but it would be good for a regular web-site.

IF xfir decides to host you, you'll probably get a cPanel with around 100-250 mb of space, 1 GB bandwidth, unlimited mysql db's, unlimited postgre db's, unlimited webmail, etc.

He can adjust those parameters though, giving you more or less as he thinks you'll need.

ZeusBD · « **Reply #13 on:** July 20, 2004, 09:49:19 AM »

Dang, I have a cPanel, but I can't make it so that other people I host can have one too. I do have web-mail though

CK9 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 20, 2004, 10:31:43 AM »

That reminds me, I need an ftp server, I'm planing on dumping all the images I have on there so I can get rid of a few directories, but puting them all back on there 1 at a time is a pain...

xfir · « **Reply #15 on:** July 20, 2004, 11:16:10 AM »

I've been busy lately so I haven't been reading all the threads. (-_-)

Anywho, I do not know if I will give PlayingOutpost a seperate cPanel account, as really there is no need.

He will be hosted under the same account as xfirnet, due to the fact that he may not be able to handle any errors with PHP or MySQL without assistance.

Punboy "told" me that he gave me unlimited space and bandwidth, I do not know if this is true, as with my last reformat, I lost my password list that contained the password for my reseller account (which lets me make more accounts and change passwords).

Thus, you will have to wait. Anyway, I was not going to host PlayingOutpost's OP3: New Power until I finished a PHP project that would allow him to make use of PHP better. It is a small script similiar to phpNuke, but without the cost of (a. phpBB (b. MySQL space and (c. Overhead.

I will also let CK9 demo this script to see if he would rather use it. I'm not entirely sure how far you can nest catergories.. (so far its 2 levels, but some minor function changes will fix that (I hope))

Kiith, I still need to know a good reason for me to host you.

As for your image problem, CK9, you could remotely compress the images then download one file then upload that and decompress it.. there are quite a few PHP scripts that let you do this.

um, in laymans terms please? I'm not as code-savvy as the rest of ya, I couldn't even make a program to say hello when opened, lol.

xfir · « **Reply #17 on:** July 20, 2004, 06:25:35 PM »

It is more or less a full site script. You login to an admin panel, where you can add new pages, change the look of the site (globally), or change/add users.

As for saying hello:

Code: [Select]

<?php
echo "Hello world!";
?>

CK9 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 20, 2004, 11:04:14 PM »

that's not what I ment...

plymoth45 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 20, 2004, 11:07:05 PM »

and that is for php, everything like that starts the same way, hello world <_< too basic for me.

xfir · « **Reply #20 on:** July 21, 2004, 09:53:54 AM »

Okay, lets do more advanced things then:

Code: [Select]

<?
class skin {
function sheader($title) {
print <<<EOF
<html>
<head>
<title>{$title}</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
 bgcolor: black;
 color: white;
}
//-->
</style>
</head>

<body>

EOF;
}

function body($text) {
print <<<EOF

$text

</body>
</html>
EOF;
}
}

$skin =  new skin;
$skin->sheader("Hello");

$body = "Welcome to my page. This is a very basic introduction to classes (no real \"constructor\")" . " Since this is a \"test\", you'll notice that it is very limited in functionality. But, I hope that my skills will improve soon.";

$skin->body($body);

?>

I saw a lot of that in phpnuke for HVK when I was editing the forum link. A heck of a lot of it, got a bit confusing after a while :S

CK9 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 21, 2004, 03:33:41 PM »

When I look at php code, my face goes from this :mellow: to this :huh: to this :unsure: to this

and finaly to this :angry:
