I need to know if there are any decent free web-hosts.

I want to create a web site that’d contain only HTML, JPGs, GIFs, PDFs, and ZIPs. I don’t need to use scripting, etc. Don’t need a pro host since this wouldn’t be my portfolio site or anything serious. Just want make some of the files I created available for people (InDy scripts, how-tos, fonts, stuff like that).

Preferably no ads, but if there has to be an ad, I’d want them as banners and not pop-ups. I’d need about 20+ Mb space, and I don’t care much about the URL. I’ve done like an hour of searching, but to no avail. Some charge for setup, some load your site with pop-ups…

I got tired of looking for a decent web host my self and built my own web server.

Most hosts only allow so much transfer a month before they charge you for extra..usually less than a gig per month. most 500 meg.. Any uploading to the site by you counts as transfer.

Most web servers can be setup on a Win 2k or XP machine using Apache web server which is a free to use download. Apache is far more secure than Microsofts Internet Information Server.

I order to do so you need to buy a domain name ($15-35 per year $14.99 yr. at tucows.com) and have either cable or DSL..

The only problem with doing that, besides the dynamic IP addressing problems that are sure to crop up, is cable
bandwidth is severely lopsided when it come to upstream
and downstream speeds, if you’re hosting anything large
it’s going to be a snail.

You get a static IP..

I don’t know about cable but DSL is plenty fast enough..both upstream and downstream..

Even people with dialup have said my site has good speed..

If you will re-read the above, you’ll see I said "my site has good speed" not their speed..

Both their speed and the speed of my service are both the issue.

My speed can be fine but if theirs is slow, any download on their part will be slow no matter how fast mine is..

Prodigy gives you a static IP? I really doubt that. Or are you paying extra for a static IP?

DSL for the most part is slower than cable and my upstream is a measly 42K/sec. while my downstream is 2Mbit.

Even people with dialup have said my site has good speed..

Actually the only people who would see that as fast are
dialup users since they rarely exceed 10K/sec.

Indeed. But dial-up connectors reporting good speeds isn’t impressive. If you’d said: "Even DSL users report good speeds", that would have been worth mentioning :=)

No matter. I’m glad it’s working well for you. How much traffic do you get? Are you frequently dealing with more than one connection at a time?

I upgraded from PPPOE to a static. and yes I pay more for it.

Copy this IP 67.64.98.185 to http://ww1.arin.net/whois/ and see who it resolves to.

That depends. If 2 or more users are using the same node as you, your speed will drop whereas DSL users are not affected by the number of users.

What are they charging you for that? I know RR wants
an arm and a leg for a static IP.

It resolves to SBC, thems that owns the IP.

That’s really a fallacy, there’s plenty of people in my neighborhood with broadband and I can pull a full 2Mbit connection to sites that are fast enough to provide it almost any time of the day. Now if everyone were downloading large files at the same time it might slow down, but not really all that much.

By including dialup users, I was saying all users which include those with cable and DSL report good speed.

The only problem I have encountered is the occassional downtime by my ISP.. Access was sporatic throughout yesterday due to some mis-configured servers somewhere in my ISP’s system.
No matter. I’m glad it’s working well for you. How much traffic do you get? Are you frequently dealing with more than one connection at a time?
On average, I get based on my log file between 40 and 110 hits a day. Some of those hits are for specific pages found through search engines.

In a year and a half, I have recieved over 9000 hits just on my index page.

I do get several connections at a time but I limit the number of connections to 10 at a time.

BTW: Apache can handle multiple connections better than Microsofts Internet Information Server..

As long as I pay my bill each month, the 5 IP’s that were assigned to me can only be used by me. They cannot be assigned to anybody else.

Go to http://chi.speakeasy.net/ and do a speed test. This will give you a true idea of your actual speed.

As for cable, I switched from cable to DSL because of the speed issue and because of the amount of downtime experienced with cable..

Actually it won’t. Once my packets leave the local network my provider is not and cannot be responsible for the speeds I receive going through other people’s networks to get there. A bad router between here and there, a bottleneck on the backbone, a broken fiber cable anything can impact your
connection speed and if it’s outside of the control of your provider there’s nothing they can do about it. My ‘actual’ speed is bwtween me and my default gateway to the internet anything else is someone else’s equipment.

But if you were interested:

2004-01-18 14:47:27 EST: 1810 / 341
Your download speed : 1810350 bps, or 1810 kbps.
A 220.9 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 341880 bps, or 341 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

Just slightly below the 2Mbit cap my provider has on
the connection.

I got 1788 Kbps from a speed test in the UK (several
thousand miles away from FL), 1305 from one in
California and 1865 kbps from one in Texas.

As for cable, I switched from cable to DSL because of the speed issue and because of the amount of downtime experienced with cable..

Some people have good experiences with the
same things that other people have bad
experiences with.

Your actual speed is dependant on the limitations of your modem. If the provider say one speed, it may not be what you are getting because your modem may be rated for less

Also speed is dependant on any number of factors such as you stated above.
But if you were interested:

2004-01-18 14:47:27 EST: 1810 / 341

Just slightly below the 2Mbit cap my provider has on
the connection.
Most providers cap the speed at 2mbit including most DSL providers. That doesn’t mean you’ll get 2mbit. If you want faster speed, then you have to go with a T.

In a side by side test without any obsticles to slow down speed, DSL and cable are neck and neck. But my experience with cable has been inferior to my present DSL..

The point is I have plenty of speed to run a webserver without speed problems..and I’m sure those who run a webserver on cable do just as good..
As for cable, I switched from cable to DSL because of the speed issue and because of the amount of downtime experienced with cable..

Some people have good experiences with the
same things that other people have bad
experiences with.
That’s true.. but in the end I pay less for DSL with a static IP ($64.99) than I would with cable.

The local cable company charges nearly $100 per month for cable tv/internet with a static IP.

The only way here to get just cable internet is with a dynamic IP..

Dynamic IP’s don’t work well with a web server.

I think you need to distinguish between versions. The terms Broadband, DSL and ADSL tend to be interchanged by the sales people.
ADSL is Asymmetric. Download from web to PC is typical 500, 1000 or 2000 kbs. Upload to web – with BT’s version in the uk at least – is only 256 kbs

A local cable company is offering so-called ‘broadband’ at only 150kbs

You are correct. My service is ADSL not DSL

My ADSL modem is rated at 32kbps to 8Mbps downstream and 32kbps to 800kbps upstream.

Most providers however cap the actual speed..so actual speed will vary.

Umm, sorry, thought we had made it clear we were talking about broadband. My ‘modem’, which my provider supplies, is capable of 10 Mbit/sec but it’s capped through DOCSIS at 2Mbit (megabit) per second.

Also speed is dependant on any number of factors such as you stated above.
But if you were interested:

Just slightly below the 2Mbit cap my provider has on
the connection.
Most providers cap the speed at 2mbit including most DSL providers.

Actually all of Time Warner’s RR subscribers were increased to 3 Mbit a few months ago. All the AT&T standard DSL plans (if you’re lucky enough to live close to the teleco) around here are limited to 1.5Mbit.

That doesn’t mean you’ll get 2mbit. If you want faster speed, then you have to go with a T.

Actually, I’m, at least downstream, 1/2 a Mbit faster than a T1 and those are still running several hundred dollars a month.

In a side by side test without any obsticles to slow down speed, DSL and cable are neck and neck. But my experience with cable has been inferior to my present DSL..

Then you’re a lucky one. I know three people who live around here who dropped RR’s cable service for DSL when they got offered a ‘great’ introductory price, one was back within 48 hours, another lasted three days and the third quit after a week and came back to cable.

The point is I have plenty of speed to run a webserver without speed problems..and I’m sure those who run a webserver on cable do just as good..

I’ve tried a few servers friends have put up on their machines and they’re fine for basic web pages and even some small pictures, but when we started trying with files over a meg or more then the limitiations of the connection really showed up.

As for cable, I switched from cable to DSL because of the speed issue and because of the amount of downtime experienced with cable..

Some people have good experiences with the
same things that other people have bad
experiences with.
That’s true.. but in the end I pay less for DSL with a static IP ($64.99) than I would with cable.

Too rich for my blood 🙂 I’ve got the freebie account over at 1and1 and they’re running an OC12 into the main server farm plus they’re responsible for security and backups. When the free promotion expires in three years the package they’re giving away now ($29.95/month normally) should be a couple of dollars a month 🙂

The local cable company charges nearly $100 per month for cable tv/internet with a static IP.

The only way here to get just cable internet is with a dynamic IP..
Dynamic IP’s don’t work well with a web server.

There are services to work around that.

I’ve had some files over 2 meg but a photo website seldom goes over this amount..

At one time, I offered some freeware programs for download. Larger files (2-5meg) were fairly fast to download..about the same speed as downloading from a site such as tucows.com etc.

Even websites on a Tconnection are slower with larger files..

I have found that many people built their websites with too much on each page making download longer.

All of my pages are done to make download quick..

Go to http://chi.speakeasy.net/ and do a speed test. This will give you a true idea of your actual speed.

Actually it won’t. Once my packets leave the local network my provider is not and cannot be responsible for the speeds I receive going through other people’s networks to get there. A bad router between here and there, a bottleneck on the backbone, a broken fiber cable anything can impact your
connection speed and if it’s outside of the control of your provider there’s nothing they can do about it. My ‘actual’ speed is bwtween me and my default gateway to the internet anything else is someone else’s equipment.
Your actual speed is dependant on the limitations of your modem. If the provider say one speed, it may not be what you are getting because your modem may be rated for less

Also speed is dependant on any number of factors such as you stated above.
But if you were interested:

2004-01-18 14:47:27 EST: 1810 / 341
Your download speed : 1810350 bps, or 1810 kbps.
A 220.9 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 341880 bps, or 341 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

Just slightly below the 2Mbit cap my provider has on
the connection.
Most providers cap the speed at 2mbit including most DSL providers. That doesn’t mean you’ll get 2mbit. If you want faster speed, then you have to go with a T.

LOL! How do we get from "A decent free web-host?" to $64.99? 🙂

That’s like Microsoft’s saying that Linux is far more expensive than WinXP.

The local cable company charges nearly $100 per month for cable tv/internet with a static IP.

Hello All,

I have been told, not sure it this is correct though.
I could not try it because I had already purchased my domain name through someone else – who charged an arm and a leg just to park the domain name – and I am on dial-up – there goes my other arm and leg… ha ha I was told that you can buy your domain name through certain businesses – eg Yahoo – and they offer as part of your purchase through them – free domain parking.
This gives you a static IP address – that you do not have to pay for – you can then redirect any traffic to your home computer if you wish to use that as your server.

Regards,

Indeed. Try learning more about the political situation in this region during the past 15 years. You’d find out how un-funny your remark can be. I don’t want to say anything more.

Once, I started this whole conversation and someone commented that they knew better than me what was going on here, because s/he watched the news on TV ("over the dinner", s/he even added). I think that kind of argument is utterly pointless, but there is, without a doubt, a lot to learn about the issue… more than what they’d tell you on TV.

I’m havin some weird stuff going on with my news server, so if I’m repeating myself, sorry, y’all!

Well, first of all, I want to apologise to you, Marsu, for overreacting. It’s hard for me not to after spending half of my life in a war, and it seems the rest of it will be spent with my country under severe international pressure and economic blackmail. I know you weren’t into politics. That is a good think, in a way. I don’t know many people who are into politics and are proud of it. Neither am I. It’s only inevitable to be so in this particular region…

Anyway, I hope you are not a voting person. I think that people who are not into politics shouldn’t vote. I think this view is pretty selfexplanatory… (Aw, ignore this… just my rants.)

I also wanted to recommend a book for you to read: "Black Lamb and Grey Falcon". It’s a classic by Rebecca West written by the end of the 1930s. It should give you a clue as to what is going on (and what *was* going on) in Yugoslavia, and Serbia.

Let me just cite what she’d inscribed on the front page:

"TO MY FRIENDS IN YUGOSLAVIA, WHO ARE NOW ALL DEAD OR ENSLAVED"

and then

"Grant to them the Fatherland of their desire, and make them again citizens of Paradise."

This still makes me cry… If you can understand these lines, than you’re a true friend of my people! Unfortunately, many, many people will never understand why these lines are so true and so touching, even after 70 years…

Hecate

veni, vidi, reliqui

My granpa is Branko Vukelic (after whom I was named). Thanks to some of the authorities (my father, Branko’s son remembers general Willoughby of the USAF, who forgot to mention much about Branko) who were repeatedly quoted around the World, people came to believe that Branko was an amateur who did photograpy work for Sorge at best. However, Branko was remembered by his associates as being proud and fierce, a dedicated and passionate fighter in the ranks of the Sorge ring. After all, Branko was the only one not to crack under interrogation by the Japanese police (although Sorge and Max were actually trained to be "cooperative" under such circumstances).

Max remembered (on 2nd of April, 1965): "The last we met was at the Tokio trial, facing the imperial court of Japan. Although he had been tortured
[by the Japanese police] and was seriously ill, he stood up proudly, with a
flame in his eyes."

Branko was an skillful photographer (he even built his own b/w enlarger) and also good with people. His coleagues remember him as a journalist working for Belgrade’s "Politika" and French "Havas", a dedicated communist, witty and with a keen sense of World politics. I’ve seen a cartoon that he drew sometime before the WWII, on which Stalin is depicted as a tortoise, and Hitler as a hare — the prediction that came so very true, soon after the termination of Sorge’s mission in Japan.

Branko gathered valuable intelligence not only for Sorge, but also for his coleagues in France and the States. On piece of information that was passed on to an American journalist by Branko was the exact date of the planned attack on Pearl Harbour. The article was published immediately, but was completely ignored by the US officials and the military, leading to the catastrophy we all know of. (It is now even argued that the catastrophy was actually allowed to take place in order to boost the popular support for American participation in the War.)

Sorge’s participation in espionage missions was never acknowledged before Stalin’s death, as you may recall. The same goes for Max, Anna, Branko, Ozaki, and Miagi. It was only after the death of Stalin that all of them received official acknowledgement and medals of honour. Only Max and Anna were awarded the medals during their lifetime. My dad and my grandma were summoned to Moscow in order to receive it.

Although, you migh expect that the figure of such importance to the moder history of Mankind such is Branko would become a legend at least in his own fatherland (i.e, Yugoslavia), there was no mention of him until the very end of the 20th century. In a small article, in "Politika", he was mentioned as the Sorge’s associate, and the "top Politika’s journalist" of all times. However, in Japan, there was a TV show about Sorge in, which an entire episode was dedicated to Branko. (Also, in near future, I’m planning to release a web site and a multimedia presentation on my granpy.)

I have, at my grandma’s house in Japan, a huge collection of negatives and photos that police returned to her after the war. Of course, there are no confidential documents there, but there’s a significant amount of life photos of WWII Japan — it’s people, its cityscapes and landscapes. Releasing all of the materials is my dream, and I hope it comes true…

I know you weren’t into politics. That is a good think, in a way. I don’t know many people who are into politics and are proud of it. Neither am I. It’s only inevitable to be so in this particular region…

And we all know that blackmail is a weapon for cowards…

Or paranoid. Maybe they only want to keep Serbia in check, you know. Don’t ask me why. Oh, BTW, where are you from? (You don’t need to answer this one without an attorney, you know. 🙂

I must say that I felt so ridiculous that thought I’ll never post here again.

Why’d you think something like that? I hope I didn’t "sound" too scary. 🙁

(you’d see no difference anyway)…

You’re right there. But that’s not your fault. I rarely check to see who’s who on a ng. A great number of posts sound very similar (and painfully boring) although they are actually posted by many different individuals. So it’s a pain to keep track of things. There are really only a few here who are worth remembering (like Hecate, Stephan, Voivod, you know) for one reason or the other. I’ve not been here for long, tho, so I guess I’ll come to remember more "names" as time passes.

Keep posting, and keep posting smart, and you shall be remembered. 😉

Hey, and do try to get the book. I promise you won’t be wasting your time!

I have, at my grandma’s house in Japan, a huge collection of negatives and photos that police returned to her after the war. Of course, there are no confidential documents there, but there’s a significant amount of life photos of WWII Japan — it’s people, its cityscapes and landscapes. Releasing all of the materials is my dream, and I hope it comes true…

Absolutely fascinating. I’d love to see some of that stuff so I hope you manage to get your site built 🙂

I need to know if there are any decent free web-hosts.

I want to create a web site that’d contain only HTML, JPGs, GIFs,
PDFs,
and
ZIPs. I don’t need to use scripting, etc. Don’t need a pro host since this wouldn’t be my portfolio site or anything serious. Just want make some of the files I created available for people (InDy scripts, how-tos, fonts, stuff like that).

Preferably no ads, but if there has to be an ad, I’d want them as banners and not pop-ups. I’d need about 20+ Mb space, and I don’t care much about the URL. I’ve done like an hour of searching, but to no avail. Some charge for setup, some load your site with pop-ups…

Thanks, this one looks promissing. Seems just like what I was looking for! 🙂

No support, no adds, no work! They failed to respond to my sign-up request three times in a row. Also, they don’t seem to respond to the support e-mail either (they said, "if you have trouble signing-up, blah, blah…"). 🙁

I’ve got some friends from Western Africa. French are not the only ones they had something to "learn" from. Portugese have also been there, Americans as well. The keyword is "oil". Yugoslavia was one of the few countries that offered something in exchange for oil. In Sudan, for example, the sewer system bears the logotype of a company called "Varazdin". And many african diplomats studied in Yugoslavia. So it is was surprising that the US wanted to "cancel" the communist threat in those countries. In Sudan, they ousted the communist government and installed the militaristic generals. My friend says it’s not a safe place to live here. His father, an ex-goverment official is kept alive only thanks to his education (not many educated people in Sudan today).

There were many French "documentaries" on B92 TV (here in Belgrade) about African countries. Ugly piece of propaganda. They all went like: "Isn’t France a great and humane country helping those poooooor lil’ blacks, educating them, showing them the way of the West." Yuck! And those "documentaries" about Kosovo and ex-Yugoslavia!!! That really pissed me of. Boy, they have some nerve. (Now, Marsupilami, be a good boy (girl? I know it sounds silly), and don’t get me started on politics again! 🙂

Hey, where does the name Marsupilami come from anyway? It doesn’t really sound French… More like Indian or something. Wait! Is it African? Ah, I give up… 😀

Thanks. That’s very interesting, indeed. Hecate’s got three heads? One for Photoshop, one for this ng, and one for military history. Yeah, that must be it. 😉

If that matters, I intend to call myself Mimir
for I need just one head (more elegant)
but THE head… for Photoshop
(I guess it will not be sufficient to believe).
It will be my wish the year to begin.

only to keep talking about ancient myths.
