Website Host

[Angus-Higgins]

(I am asking this in the "General Discussion" forum [on "Overclockers UK"] as I cannot think of a better place to put this. [If there is {in fact} a better place, please move this thread]).

I didn't even notice that my web hosting plan ran out recently. I am now looking to change from my current host (Website Source) to something different (and hopefully better).

I need to have a basic plan with some mail server facilities (in other terms, it must be able to handle e-mail).

I would also need FTP access.

(I thank anyone who posts good suggestions).

Surpass hosting is what I have used forever almost, awesome support, nice prices, FTP, unlimited databases and emails etc. Can't fault them.

Edit: Sorry, here's the link: http://www.surpasshosting.com/ Starts at something like £3 a month.

Thanks. (That is certainly the best [I have seen] so far).

Why (would you)? Want to [re-host] you're website? ([It's pretty crap] lolz).

My current host plan has run out (it was a 1 year plan [in duration]).

I have the website there to fill the empty space. (I use the "webspace" for images, etc. [and also some basic PHP I have done]).

Stop these bad posts.

(I want to get some good answers, and it is not good to post useless things).

I know the website is bad, but it is just something I made to learn XHTML, and CSS (and also it has the purpose of filling the space [it {the space} was occupied by a website which was worse {I believe} before]).

I know very little (one might even say "zero") C++.

What specifically do you use your webspace for number 54743? It seems an inefficient use of funds if you are paying for webspace when free hosting services would suffice.

Free "webspace" would not suffice (in my opinion [based on limited experience]).

I need to be able to have PHP 4+ running on the server, I need MySQL databases, I need a mail server facility (and preferably some form of web mail client). I also need FTP access, (and I like to have full control of what I put on the "webspace" within the law).

I will decide what is "inefficient use of funds" for myself. (From information gathered on forums, I expect you have an extremely limited idea of what I need [or possibly {in other terms, a relatively high probability} will need] the "webspace" for [and thus I do not value your post {in this case}]).

I was just asking. You said you were using it for general hosting so I assumed that would mean you didn't need PHP support and the like. No need to get arsey.

I mentioned PHP support in this thread (perhaps it was the great mass of bad posts which obscured this from your view [for this I cannot blame you]).

(I thought you were trying to make me look stupid [as if I had not considered the "free webspace" already]).

I apologise if this was not your intention (as I find [in general] that your posts are much better than average).

You're definitely taking the urine now. For a time it was slightly bad. Now that everyone picks on you for it, you have stepped up a gear and turned the nob to "cringeworthy".

No. I now have most of my (meaningful) discussions on a different forum (I have mentioned the name before); this is merely because I cannot seem to have a serious discussion on this forum ("Overclockers UK") due to people arguing with me.

If I could stop, I would. I have had my real life effected (being "prank called" multiple times [by members of this forum]), I don't want that to happen. (Admittedly, people on the other forum post bad things also, but it is not as bad as on these forums [not that I dislike these forums {"Overclockers UK"}]).

I understand why you do it, sort of. But you can at least try!

The problem is that I cannot. If I do not believe my post is clear enough (this doesn't necessarily mean many brackets [but often does]) I would find it difficult to post it (and even more difficult not to edit it). I would feel physically ill if I made a bad post (I believe).

Inaccuracy is one source of incorrectness (I apologise for using this awful word), and incorrectness (again I offer apologies for this word) is one (major) cause of tendance from perfection.

argh. make it stop.

seriously angus, you can use that crap to impress the GD crowd. it's something for them to laugh at. something to make you stick out from the masses. i guess you'd rather be an idiot that everyone knows rather than be anonymous. that's fine. but please keep it out of the other forum sections. thanks.

Incorrect. It is a system I used in most typed-communication (including several Internet forums, "Personal Messages", and e-mail [there are more]).

I don't mind whether I am known (or unknown [evidently]), I like to gather information.

Angus, I have a question.

If you cannot write without using so many brackets, why are they noticeably absent from your website?

For several reasons. The website was written before I began (fully implementing) the "bracket system", or "bracketing system" (as named by myself). Also it is not meant to be read in the same way as an e-mail, or a post (on an Internet forum). If one does not have the time to read it, then one should wait until one has the time to read it (unlike the "bracket system", or "bracketing system" [as named by myself] and it's implementations on Internet forums).
