Recommended Web Hosting companies for Video/Photographers

In starting up my own videography and photography business are there any web hosting companies that someone could recommend that have the adequate bandwidth to support lots of photo and video downloading? Most, if not all the, elcheapo hosting services (Bluehost, GoDaddy, etc.) have cheap prices but crappy speed. I don't mind paying for what I need but I expect it to be delivered.

Actually I am looking into just that. I have a litney of questions I just sent to their support staff that I figured were too lengthy to ask here.
I might as one. It would be VERY worthwhile to be able to get more stats than just hits. Not being a Zen Web Master, is this possible with a .mac account? Is it as simple as just putting in some hooks into my web page to enable this?
I've been looking around asking some friends I have in and out of multiple business and, rightly so, most of the feedback I've seen, the hosting companies want, up front, estimates of what my use will be and at what speeds. I've not a clue on these stats. Kind of a catch 22. Don't know the stats until you get a web site up but can't get a web site until I know the stats. This is where a .mac account would be idea, at least for starters but I think to be really useful I would need to be able to get the statistics. Also, I want my own URL with my company name in it. I believe that this is possible but I think I need to first register my name externally and then I somehow link to it from a .mac account. I've got no idea how to do this other than getting a name. That is easy.

Which web hosting company for my iWeb site?

Hi everyone.
I was going to let my iWeb site just die with MobileMe, but decided to go ahead and get hosting for it to keep it online. I'm trying find advice on which company to choose. After looking online I saw this one company called Little Oak is a mac web hosting company, and they are offering a 25% discount right now to host websites (http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/web-hosting-sales-and-promos-roundup-jun e-29-2012
Can anyone vouch for their reputation? Or can you offer up any other companies that I should consider?
Thank you.
Anne.

I use Little Oak for my site, and I can genuinely recommended. They are great. And in regards to pricing, it is relative. You can find really budget and cheap hosting, you can even find free hosting. But you usually get what you pay for. I would stay away from free hosting if you want decent service. I really like and value the service I get from LO. And that 25% coupon looks like a good reason to try them. I've called or IM with them at all hours of the day, and always get great service.
Its true that most web hosting companies offer similar prices and packages, what you really want to see if a companies reputation for service, because when things go wrong, you want to be sure you are going to be taken care of.
I'm sure whoever you go with, they will be able to help you move your site over. Here is a help sheet from Apple to get you started: (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4686).

Changed web hosting companies/mail server

I just changed web hosting companies and want to know if I change the "incoming" and "outgoing" server to the new server addresses will I lose the emails that I have for this account? Said another way, I'm going to open mail preferences, select the mail account I need to change and type in new mail server addresses?
Sorry if this has been answered before but I couldn't find an answer in a search.

Hi there, and welcome to the Discussions.
Changing the outgoing (SMTP) server should not make you loose emails, since the SMTP server is, by definition, only used to send emails. The emails you have already sent and want to keep are stored in a folder that is completely independent from your choice of SMTP server.
When it comes to changing the incoming server, that's a different business. The consequences of such a change depend on the type of the server. Is it POP? IMAP?... If it is POP, I would assume that you would not loose anything, because POP works in such a way that you download all your emails from the POP server, the emails are then deleted from the server (at least, this is the default setting), and then the reference copies of your emails are the ones on your computer, which should therefore not be touched by a change in the POP server.
If the incoming server is an IMAP server, then I don't know what will happen, but there is a risk that you could loose your emails. This is because, with IMAP, the reference copies of your emails are the ones on the server, with which your computer automatically synchronizes.
In any case, before doing anything, BACKUP YOUR EMAILS, and make sure your know how to restore these backups in case something goes wrong.
Then, I suggest you wait for someone more knowledgeable than myself to better answer your question.
Hope this helps

Any suggestions for good free web hosting service for my IWeb page, other than MObileMe

Any suggestions for good free web hosting service for my IWeb page, other than MobileMe?

MobileMe is not free.
Search : free webhosting
You can narrow the results by being more specific by adding town, province or country.
You can also start by checking out your own ISP.
Or be free as in here : www.000webhost.com

Streaming audio, web hosting, scripts for streaming?

Hello all,
Back several years ago, it seemed all the big web hosts
featured "streaming
audio and video" as a feature of their hosting plans at some
dollar amount. You
know, once you elevated to the $19.95 a month plan at XYZ
host, your website
could stream audio or video.
I don't see that anywhere in web hosts monthly plans any
longer at any dollar
amount. Anyway I have a client who sells her own music, and I
have been trying
to find a web host that supports streaming audio, mp3, etc. I
checked with 1
and 1 (webhost) and they responded as follows:
"Basically our eshop can support streaming but it would be
through
scripts only. So, it would be in your end to do those
matters."
I have no idea what that actually means. And I realize I
could just send the
guy a note and ask him, but I figured I would get a more
comprehensive and
valuable answer here since I use Dreamweaver. By "script" are
they talking
about something like Flash Audio Kit? I am confused by the
whole thing now. I
thought it was as simple as looking for a hosting plan that
supported streaming.
I use Dreamweaver 8, Windows, if that matters for this
question.
Thanks a million!
Tim

Thank you for responding but I finally got it to work.
By the way it was http://wm1.uwsp.edu/90fm ... go trivia...

Which hosting companies are best, and what makes them good?
I've been through a few different hosts in as many years --
reasons for leaving them include excessive downtime and poor
customer support. All of the hosts that I quit using had an uptime
guarantee, but their servers would routinely bog down during peak
traffic hours.
I'm currently using GoDaddy; I've been with them for about a
year now. I haven't noticed any downtime on their servers, their
rates and features/plans are very competitive, and customer service
is excellent. With other services I'd typically wait for upwards of
a half hour to get someone on the phone, but I get through to
support at GoDaddy almost immediately. I'd recommend them to anyone
looking for personal or small business use -- the only caveat is
that their lowest price plans only give you 10mb for your email
accounts, so you either have to do a little routine maintenance or
upgrade your email plan.

What to look for in a web hosting company for Flex applications

Hello,
I am trying to figure out what I need to look for in a web
hosting company if I want to deploy my own Flex applications? I
don't anticipate having any special requirements other than the
ability to interact with databases and XML files. Can someone help
me figure out what the server-side requirements are?
Thanks in advance!
Matt

then almost 99.9% hosting will work.
if you want a Flexx app with compiler then oo thats different
but as you say "I don't anticipate having any special requirements
other than the ability to interact with databases and XML files"
then you can go with pretty much any hosting, as long as they have
apache, Database serve and I think thats it.

Web Hosting Manager for Sun JES?

Does somebody know about realizations of Web Hosting Manager (like Cpanel/WHM) for Sun Web server?
Does Cpanel port for Sun JES / Sun Solaris exist? Or some software system based on Java?

Sorry, if my question was incomprehensible. Some explanations below ...
I try to find solution, which will allow to use Sun Java System Web Server as comfortable platform for web hosting. Functionality of needed software package should be similar to functionality of Cpanel/WHM.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPanel (or directly http://www.cpanel.net):
"cPanel ("Control Panel") is a graphical web-based web-hosting control panel, designed to make administration of websites easy. cPanel handles all aspects of website administration in its interface.
WebHost Manager (WHM) is a web-based tool used by server administrators and resellers to manage hosting accounts on a web server."
Unfortunately, Cpanel/WHM is developed and supported for Linux (or FreeBSD)/Apache platform.
Questions below.
1. Does somebody know about installation and using of Cpanel/WHM on Sun Web Server / Solaris?
2. Does somebody know about software systems with same functionality, but written for Sun Web Server / Solaris?

How to connect a web upload form(for video uploads) to Azure Storage / Media services?

Hi I have a form on my Joomla site (see image under for viewers to upload and send me their videos, images and info.
Question:
1.Instead of receiving this form content via email, I just need a
HTML and/or PHP code with tags code so I can send the content viewers give me (videos with up to 500MB) directly into my existing Azure blob.
Seems I can also direct the form to a any database... They gave me this code sample but it was for AWS
https://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/63-cfv4/cfv4-working-with-form-data/5196-can-i-save-files-to-aws.html
Therefore they suggested me to reach out to Azure devs.
I don't code so please show me the exact code HTML and/or PHP code to connect my "pre-built forms" with Azure Storage/Media services.

Moving Mail Between Web Hosting Companies

Hi Gang-
I recently moved my primary website from one host to another. I diligently moved all my IMAP email boxes to the "On My Mac" section in Apple Mail before changing my nameservers. After the nameserver change I moved the mail boxes back to the IMAP of the new host within Apple Mail. All was good in the world until I realized I failed to move the "Sent" folder so I left behind about 1000 outgoing sent emails. I would love to have those emails back in Apple Mail so they can be searchable.
Since the namservers have been changed, I can no longer check email in the old way and move the email to my Mac. I can however still use the IP address to FTP in to the email folder and manually download the files. I have successfully downloaded the Sent mailbox to my Mac desktop.
Now the problem. How do I get these files I downloaded into Apple Mail so I can get them to the new hosting plan IMAP? The Apple Mail import function does not seem to recognize the email files or the folder the email files are in.
Thanks in advance for any help!

ber-
Looks like some nifty tools on that site but it might be a bit over my head. I more of a drag and drop / click the mouse kind of Mac user. Some of those look like they might do the trick but implementing them is a tad much for me.
Thanks for jumping in ber. Much appreciated.
Any simpler options out there?

Repointing DNS A names from other web hosting companies

I have a website name registered at UK Reg and want to point it to my .mac iweb page. Does anyone know how to find out what the IP address of my published page is?

James,
I finally got around to doing the two sites. One thing is that I cannot seem to alter the attributes of the slideshow feature. ie I can't get it to magnify. Anyway as per your request my wife's site is www.itsawrapw4.co.uk - I still have to put more content there but it's up and running. my business site is www.lundbergallen.com.
I have to say iweb is a lot easier than Dreamweaver which I have used for anoother of my websites.
Look forward to your views re the slideshow effects.

Java Web Services and hosting companies

Hi
At this moment I am looking for a web hosting companies.
I will be developing website in Java and I will also develop Web Services.
Can you tell if I am able to host Web Services with any hosting company that supports Java. Or is there any special requirement on the behalf of the hosting companies to support Web Services written in Java
regardas

No Problem at all
Nomally the Web Service is big different between Web application. or you can build your Web service structure like web application structure. It depends on the web server:
If the Web Server of hosting company has WEB Service framework, you just need know how to deploy your Web service to Web Service framework and How to deploy to Web Server. In this case, you need deploy it two time, one is for Web Server framework and one is for Web Service framework
If the Web Server of hosting company doesn't has WEB Service framework, you need build your own Web Service framework into a web application, then you just need know how to deploy your web application with Web service into Web Server framework

Web hosting for JSF

I'd like to use JSC to build and deploy a small web app, but no web hosting companies that I've contacted support JavaServer Faces and JSF Components. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced web host ($15-20 USD per month) that supports this new technology?
thanks in advance,
geof

We will later on, but I think all you need is Tomcat
hosting. Should be able to deploy the jsf libs with
the app.
We have a dedicated server setup for a customer for a
project we are bulding in jsc.
JonathanDid this ever come about?
Thanks.
