Need Opinions for website hosting

I have been designing a website for publication soon. I have never before purchased a URL or published to anything other than .mac and AOL Hometown (about 8 years ago). I am currently looking to purchase a private domain to use with iWeb. My question is, with so many companies selling website domains, hosting and storage, how do I know what I need and which company is the best to use?
I only need one email address with the domain name and be able to forward it to my .mac site. Hopefully simple and not too expensive. Thanks for any suggestions anyone can offer!

I just did some research on this for a friend the other day. There are obviously a TON of options in that area, but one that I am going to recommend my friend try is http://www.inmotionhosting.com/
They seemed to have the most features for the money, along with a really high customer rating and almost no down time.
I use http://www.ipower.com/ to host my account and even though it got low customer ratings, I haven't had any major problems so far. They have what you are asking for for $3.95 per month.
Good luck!

Suggestions for website hosting os 10.9.4?

I need help with: selecting website hosting providers and/or webmail/email hosting provider; suggestions?
I have:
1 mac-mini late 2012, i7 quad core 2.33 Ghz, 16GB RAM (yes, had RAM upgraded at MAC store before bringing it home) 750 GB hard drive, OS Mavericks 10.9.4 as my Primary desktop computer, with HDTV as monitor via HDMI cable. USB wireless wave keyboard (MAC's smaller bluetooth keyboards aggravate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome,), MAC optical/super-drive (aren't they the same thing?) via USB. I've run it appx 18 months without issue except the mail app (I know; join the club).
MacBook Pro 13" Retina display, late 2013, i5 Intel 2.6 Gz processor, 512 GB flash drive, 8 GB RAM (2 x 4 GB RAM chips/card/white-thingies-whatchacall'ems), OS Mavericks 10.9.4. It's slow, but otherwise fine for most uses. Same MAC/Apple bluetooth 'magic' mouse used for both, sometimes trackpad on notebook. I use native notebook keyboard and just rest hands frequently.
iPhone 5s iOS 7.1.
My problem: I originally set up my 5 gmail accounts on MAC-mini and iPhone per support page instructions. Ran 'connection doctor' more times than I care to count, and always came up saying setup was correct. I was unaware of problems until some eBay customers and family mentioned that I hadn't written them in weeks and that I was not responding to their emails.I went to my accounts on gmail server with Safari (7.0.6) and there were more than 100 emails in each inbox that hadn't made it to my mail app, and several 'sent emails' in both trash and inbox, but not 'sent' folder (the circling about of gmail many have mentioned before me).
I have set up NO EMAIL ACCOUNTS on MacBook Pro, not wanting to subject it, nor me, to google-mess. (bought it because I will be laid up with surgery on my old dancers' feet for a few months and cannot use stairs (4-story house)
What I have done so far:
Prior to owning the MacBook Pro, I bought and downloaded 3 different mail apps which purported to handle gmail. All three had the same cycling and connection issues. (mail pilot most recent, will amend post when I find names of the other 2), They and were cumbersome, didn't interact with calendar and notes as purported, etc.
Then set up account at "fastmail.fm" per recommendation of one of the online MAC magazines exactly as directed on fastmail.fm. It worked on iPhone, but not on Mac Mini. Deleted it, closed account.
I researched website hosting to begin the learning/building/set-up process; makes sense while I am laid up (MacBook Pro 13" Retina by now) AND TO HAVE EMAIL ON DESKTOP. Settled on GoDaddy which has just refunded everything I spent on the site, because after weeks of effort, and trial with various hosting levels and domains, NOTHING WORKED. Used Adobe CC Muse and Dreamweaver to build sites. Both said they had uploaded on MacBook Pro, (used FTP app from App Store and then Muse built-in uploader) but while the proper file sizes (on Go Daddy) were bigger, no websites were visible "Something Cool Coming Soon" persisted.
Webmail accounts I set up (cPanel) on native MacBook Pro app with 2 different Go Daddy domain names failed. They worked for about 2 hours then simply stopped sending and receiving at all.
Many calls and online chats with Go Daddy support were non-productive.
Additional info: Makes sense to have website which I can grow into e-commerce site as I learn. I sell custom and restored Harley-Davidson motorcycles online and Vintage OEM Harley parts. Ebay is okay, but limiting. Wish to use own site separate from/in addition to eBay eventually. When I learn enough ..... yes I'm at novice to website building and management, only used Apple products about 2 years. Yet after decades of fighting with Windows-based PC's and Androids, I'm no stranger to computing, the web, and computers in general.
What I want: Can someone please suggest SOMETHING that JUST WORKS??!!
NOTE: I live in rural area so HughesNet satellite internet connection is my ONLY option (slow compared to fiber optics, but fasted Hughes offers -- maybe VZW 4G/LTE could be tried, but I'm under contract with Hughes. Cisco Linksey 2500 Router. I don't know if this is relevant or not.

Need opinions for laptop temperature!

Good day guys! I am really concern about my laptop temperature. Normal temperature is around 50-60 degrees Celsius, while in gaming around 80-85 but it reached 93 degrees already. I am using a cooling pad and my electric fan is directed towards my laptop especially while gaming. Are these temperatures still healthy? I am using real temp, core temp and Toshiba PC Health Monitor to monitor my processor and GPU temperature.
My laptop is Toshiba Satellite L745, Intel Core i5-2430, 1Gb nVidia GT GeForece 525M, 8gb ram, 32-bit Windows 7. I just bought this laptop last December 2011. I need opinions guys! Thanks in advance!

This is the second post in 2 days dealing with overheating Toshiba Laptops while playing a game. It doesn't look like the Fans are moving enough air to keep the CPU and GPU cool enough during extensive video operations.
90 degrees Celcius is way too hot for processors...It doesn't take long to figure out that the Toshiba design is flawed and is very suspect to overheating. Heat will slowly kill the MotherBoard components.
You probably are NOT suffering from symptom/cause number 1. but double check anyway...the cooling pad may be sucking in MORE dirt/dust than the normal laptop cooling fan and then the dust will collect FASTER at the heatsink cooling fins. You may also be able to increase airflow with solution 2. to solve the overheating problem...
1. I recommend turning the Laptop Off and unplugging all accessories. Get a good Flash light and look down into the CPU HeatSink Cooling Fins (where the HOT air comes out) You should be able to see inside the area unrestricted. If you see a bunch of Grey Matter, it's more than likely clogged with dust bunny's restricting the airflow.
Get a can of compressed AIR. Get a vacuum cleaner and hose...no attachments. Turn the laptop upside down on a flat surface so that you have access to both the intake fan vents and the exhaust vents. (facing towards you)
I have a technique where I hold the vacuum nozzel direcly flat against the FAN IN-Take vent--with the vacuum on--I use the compressed air in 2 second bursts to clean out each of the narrow heat-sink vanes. (Not the open spaces in the plastic case, but each of the metal cooling fins)
Try to not use too much compressed air as it does have a tiny amount of liquid in it. You could also wait 30 or so minutes to let it dry.
It's a quick fix, but the alternative is to completely taking apart (on most Toshiba's) to get access to the heat sink and CPU.
2. If you don't see any dust or any more dust after blowing it out and it is still overheating...you could try what I did below...
I saw a youtube video where a guy rigged up an external 80mm fan with a shroud and duct tape. He powered the 12VDC fan with a battery, but I used one of those Variable Voltage Adapters...set it 12VDC and connected it with Aligator Clips. It didn't look pretty, but the external fan kept the laptop ICE cold.

Configure DNS for website hosted externally

Hi,
I've configured DNS and it's all working fine except we can't access our own website which is hosted by another ISP with a different WAN IP.
If I add a www record we can access the the standard 10.4 placeholder page but if we remove that record it can't find anything.
I know I need to add a record to point to the Web Hosting ISP's WAN IP but am unsure how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
intel iMac 20" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

>In 10.3 I knew how to create a www record linked
to a partular IP but I'm unsure how to do this in
10.4
The interface is a little different, but the process
is the same - use Server Admin -> DNS, select your
zone file and add a new record (via the + button).
Set the name to 'www' and give it the IP address of
your ISP-hosted site.
Thanks Camelot.
So it's a machine that needed to be added! I find the new termanology quite confusing. In all my reading about DNS I've never heard "machines" mentioned. It's straight forward now you've explained it.
Thanks alot for your help.

Need Help for website

hello
I had to reinstall I Web in my powerbook. So all my folders with my website disappeared.
I had a back up of my website folder and I want to import this folder in I Web application I've just reinstalled.
How can I do it ?
Thanks for your help
FG

All your iWeb work is saved in a file called "domain"
You may not have lost this file when you reinstalled iWeb.
By default it is located in your user/library/application support/iweb folder.
This is separate from the iWeb application folder.
Do a spotlight search for "domain"
You may find more than one. (the newly installed iWeb may have created a new one)
Navigate to each "domain" file you find and double click its icon to start iWeb.
You may find your work. iWeb by default opens the last edited domain file but if you've reinstalled iweb it may open a blank domain file. If that happens quit iWeb and look for another "domain" file (using a spotlight search) on your hard drive and double click its icon. Repeat this process until you've tried to open all the "domain" files you can find.
iWeb cannot edit published pages, only the data in the "domain" file.

Need opinions for ScaleUp or ScaleOut

Hi all,
i've need some advise for resolve my doubt on RAC, because i have to
sizing RAC environment in my business.
Have been shows me two different solutions of RAC:
1) Two nodes of Bl680c (until 4 CPU quad Core)
2) Four nodes of Bl480c (only 2 CPU quad Core)
First solution is correct sure but is more expensive and i would like
to know if his cost is justifiable, more cpu are effective benefit?
So if bl480c server with dual CPU have cost of 6.000$ and bl680c with
4 CPU is 12.500$ (double), in RAC environment it is better 2 nodes of
bl680c or 3-4 nodes of bl480c ?
thanks for advices
Andrew

Scale-Up is the ability of your configuration to sustain the same response time when both the workload and resources increase proportionally.
Scale-up is 'usually' achieved by increasing the amount of hardware resources i.e. CPU and memory.
Scale-out is related to adding hardware resources by adding another node.
Sometimes, depending of app. design, the scale-up option on existing hardware can be more efficient than scale-out.
Simple explanation to this is related to the overheads associated with maintaining RAC cache coherency and DB locks between the nodes/instances which will occupy the available resources and 'take it away' from application.
The mail goal which you would like to achieve (I assume) is that the application can scale. You should understand that correctly configured RAC system will give you higher availability than single-instance on single-hardware configuration, but it is not at the same time guarantee that your application will scale too.
So, if you consider your design from scalability point of view you should consider it in terms of application response times.

Need opinions for A to Z workflow for DVD

Here's what I've got to work with:
HVX-200p
CS4 Master Collection
The final product will be a set of 6 educational DVD's done in an interview format, so we're not talking about a movie or documentary type production.
I've been capturing at 720p60fps which comes into OnLocation at 960x720. I then put this into a PP DVCPRO50 720p60p sequence (has a pixel aspect ratio of HD Anamorphic 1080-1.333). I use lots of 1980x1080 HD clips and sometimes some lower resolution clips for slides, etc., some rendered in AE, and scaled to frame size in the PP timeline. All live footage is shot against a green screen and I use AE to chromakey the background using Dynamic Link. Once the editing is finished, I export with AME MPEG2-DVD, max render quality (basically Jeff Bullune's workflow). Here are the settings:
I put the exported file into Encore, build a disc image and burn it to a disc using ImgBurn.
Thing is, I think the final product looks pretty good. In the end, I just want it to look the best it can.
Jim Simon says that DVD can only hold 30 or 24 fps material, so am I doing overkill? I tried capturing at 720p30p and customizing a sequence to match, but I don't like the way it came out in PP or a test output to mp4--ghosting/trails. Isn't 24fps more of a movie-like quality?
Jeff Bellune says it's easier for PP to deal with 60 fps footage in a 30 fps sequence.
Agree? Disagree? What would you change?
Also, if there's an article or thread on this that I was unable to find, I would be grateful to be referred to it.
Thanks.
Paul

If it's all ending up on DVD, I'd just shoot in standard DV format. Make things simple on yourself.

Invalid security certificate for my website host-they say the problem is Apple Safari and use Firefox instead

For the past few days, I keep getting an invalid security certificate in Safari whenever I select Edit My Site from my website homepage (http://annaporterartist.com), or whenever I select anything requiring a secure log in from my website host main page (FASO.com). I have contacted technical support at my website host (fineartstudioonline.com) and they say that this has been an intermittently recurring problem in Safari for years and they recommend that I use Firefox instead. As proof of this they emailed a link to an Apple Support discussion, but it was for Mac OS X Lion v 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1, even though I told them I am using Mac OS X Mountain Lion v 10.8.2 and Safari 6.0.2. I do not get this error message anywhere else on the web using Safari. I did try Firefox and it seems to work fine, but I prefer Safari and I want to know why Safari is not working as it should be. I am concerned that there is a real security problem with my website host and I need someone to explain why I am getting this error message, what it means, and if it is, in fact, a known problem with Safari or is my website host corrupted? Really tired of technical support playing pass the buck or pretending the problem does not exist.
The specific error message is:
Their response to my inquiry and my reply is shown below:

Hi,
Please try to setting Folder Permissions on Web Publish, and then deploy it with Web Deploy, as far as I know, if we do that, Web Deploy will use the SetAcl operation to change permissions. Please have a look at the article below.

I need opinions on this Web Hosting site.

It looks good from everything I've read on their site but I was wondering if anybody can find a problem with using them.
http://www.hostonce.com/

Well I'm actually using the Java programming for writing the program I'll be using in the office. Right now the only thing I can imagine using the web hosting for is hosting pictures and also a fairly simple website which I planned on using MySQL, PHP, or CGI for the databases.
So if the lack of JSP support is the only problem anyone can think of for this site then it may be just what I'm looking for.
Thanks for the input everyone :)

Do we need to create two zones for Two HBA for a host connected with SAN ?

Hi,While creating Zone , Do we need to create two zones for Two HBA for a host connected with SAN ? Or a zone is enough for
a host which having Two HBAs...We have two 9124s for our SAN fabric...
As I found like one zone below, I little bit confused that , if a host having two HBA connected with SAN, should I expect two zones for every Host?
from the zone set, I gave the command show zoneset
zone name SQLSVR-X-NNN_CX4 vsan 1
    pwwn 50:06:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN
    pwwn 50:06:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN
          pwwn 10:00:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN
But I found only one zone for the server's HBA2:by the same time in the fabric I found switches A & B showing the WWNs of those HBAs on its
connected N port...Its not only for this server alone, but for all hosts..Can you help me to clarify on this please..that should we need to create one zone for
one HBA?

if u have two independent fabrics between hosts and storage, i think the below confs are recommended.
Scenario 1: 2 HBAs single port each ( redundancy across HBA / Storage port )
HBA1 - port 0 ---------> Fabric A ----------> Storage port ( FAx/CLx )
HBA2 - port 0 ---------> Fabirc B ----------> Storage port ( FAy/CLy )
Scenario 2: 2 HBAs of dual port each
HBA1 - port 0 -------> Fabric A ---------> Storage port ( FAx/CLx )
HBA2 - port0 ---------> Fabric A ---------> Storage port ( FAs/CLs )
HBA1 - port 1 --------> Fabric A --------> Storage port ( FAy/CLy )
HBA2 - port 1 ---------> Fabric B --------> Storage port ( FAt/CLt )
the zone which is in your output is VSAN 1. if its a production VSAN, Cisco doesn't recomends to use VSAN 1 ( default vsan ) for production.
