setting up a website

2010-02-05 Thread Holstrom, Don
When I switched from Cox to Fios here in Northern Virginia I lost the website I 
hosted and played around with. It took 10 calls, but someone finally told me 
they blocked that port. So I hosted the site out. It's only a hundred bucks a 
year or so. My 16-year-old son likes all this speed we now have, I am finding 
out that youngsters only vaguely use websites like this. Our Fios speed is 25 
up  down

Is web-closing standard so I don't have too much traffic? I own my last name 
domain, and it's time to switch and I just wondered if there was a way around 
this. I know I can set up sites using direct site numbers and such. But I 
wanted to make it so I could set it up so the seeker wouldn't have to know 
anything different than the last name. I get e-mail with no problem.

Just curious. I have hosted many sites, but never had this to deal with...

Many carriers differentiate between business and personal use. And they 
consider hosting to be business use.

GoDaddy is something ridiculously cheap like $4.50 a month. (I prepay annually 
and my cost is less than $4 a month.)

I've dealt with this stuff for years and you lost me...

Site numbers?  Are you talking about a dedicated IP address versus a shared
server hosting?  I *believe* you're also wanting to know about DNS (i.e.,
how to tie the dedicated IP to your actual domain name).  Is this correct?
