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.

If you somehow had Google Calendar integrated into Firefox, that feature was provided by an add-on.

  • Suggestions for web hosting

    I'm looking for suggestions on how to easily transfer my website to another host as mobileme is going away. Thanks.

    I use ix webhosting. Their plans start as low as $3.95 a month & they have excellent customer service. If you live outside of the US a related company worth looking at would be Host Excellence.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Replacement for .Mac hosting

    Are there any suggestions for alternate hosting sites than .Mac? I have used .Mac in the past and like the interface, but here are the features I'm looking for:
    1) Free
    2) Anyone with the URL can access the photos without "signing up"
    3) Anyone viewing the hosted images can order prints, books etc by "signing up".
    4) Reasonable bandwidth/storage.
    Any takers?
    THANKS!!
    Jason

    Good info, thanks! However, could you elaborate a bit further on which ones require a sign up for viewing? For example, friends/family have sent me invites to view online photos (snapfish I think) via email which require going to the site to register first (a big pain). Then everytime you go back to look at photos you have to dig the password out (or you've already lost it) or reregister! A major PITA. I don't even go to view anymore when I get thest types of invites because its so painful. One thing about dotMac was all you had to do was email someone a URL that they could go directly to without any hassle. Do any of these allow this type of direct access?
    Thanks again,
    Jason

  • 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.

    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

  • Creating a DNS Record for a Host with Two or More IP???

    Can we create DNS A Record for a Host with Two or More IP ... ( we like to use my website  "mysite.com" pointing to two Ips )
    Please help...

    Sure, no worries.
    In a production environment DNS will query always the first record it will stores in cache, you need to find a dynamic or NLB way to achieve the automatic fail over else when you will have an outage with the first IP, then you need to ask your clients to
    clear the cache and register to DNS again, this i will not suggest in a production environment, lots of manual efforts and doesnt sound like a solution in a production environment, i would suggest you to explore windows NLB, it's easy to set and use the OS
    license.
    Thanks

  • Permissions for website directories/files & Share Points for managing files

    Hello.
    I'm wondering if anyone could lend some advice in how to best set up permissions, both POSIX and ACLs, for the following setup?
    #1 - Permissions for directories and files for hosting a website (via OS X 10.5 "Web" GUI). Basically, I'm curious as to what people suggest for the basic files for the directory (and sub-directories and files) that go into the backend (html, images, etc.) of a website? I'm going to be being files over from another machine, so I may need to propagate these permissions once they've been moved over?
    #2 - Permissions (ACL) for allowing users to access these directories and files for editing, etc. via client Macs on our LAN (this server is going to be a development web server for initial building/testing).
    Any advice would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    Hi Kristin,
    The "other" or "everyone" group should not have "write" permissions to any files under your website document root folder. The Apache web server runs as user "www" ... "www" is usually in the "everyone" group, thus allowing read-only access to the website.
    You can set up the owner of your files to an admin account. Perhaps set up a group with write permissions to the file shares where your website files are.
    You must first analyze who should have access to what, base your groups on that ...

  • Does anyone have any suggestions for Ad blocking? I'm getting a lot of pop up ads while using Facebook from Safari.

           I'm getting a lot of pop up ads. mostly while using  Facebook. I'm running Safari on a Macbook Pro running Yosemite. Does anyone have any suggestions for an Ad blocker. I don't see anything in the App store.
          I can't swear to it but I don't recall this being a problem pre-Yosemite. I could be wrong. I haven't been real active on Facebook until recently. I see some third party apps out there but am alway wary of non approved software.

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud Membership offers 5 websites hosting?

    I am having extreme difficulty in trying to build a website applicable to the 5 websites offered within Adobe Creative Cloud Membership? I have been told by Adobe Support options that Creative Cloud Membership does not offer hosting for any websites despite what I read of the 5 websites being offered in the Adobe Creative Cloud Membership? I have a year memership and when I call support no one so far can answer me on how to utilize these 5 websites hosting. No one knows anything about these 5 websites offered in the ad! I ask if I use any specific product as maybe Muse and I am being told that any specific adobe product CS6 that I have installed through my Adobe Creative Cloud membership has therir own individual support offered not through Adobe Creative Cloud membership anyway? I am very aggravated after being disconnected with assorted support members over the phone. I don't even suppose what I am talking about? Correct? Anyway, I find I cannot get an honest answer to my problem after all. Is this the place I might find conscientious help and understanding with my Adobe created dillema? Please reply as I am a very nice guy that has patience in learning what my Adobe Creative Cloud really offers now after being sold on it for a year?

    You get 5 webBasic level sites with Creative Cloud. Here is more info here:

    Frankly Adobe Support is some of the worst support I have ever seen. They do have a few shining stars and some do have good experiences. (I have had good and bad) and I will add Business Catalyst Support is top notch and is also separate from regular Adobe Support.

  • How to replace .mac account with iCloud for web hosting?

    I have a website that I created on MS Frontpage and have been uploading that to my .mac account for years.  Eventually I'll probably change to iWeb, but for the time being I just want to make it active again.  With iCloud, my .mac account was deleted, and I am just now getting around to updating.  The question I have is whether or not this same funcationality exists now that .mac or mobileme is  no longer around.

    iWeb is no longer being developed or supported by Apple but it is still functional under the latest OS X...
