Webhosting?

[BloodMachine34]

Does anybody know a good and cheap webprovider with access to frontpage 2000, cgi, and other "protected" devices. Is there any for 20- 50 $ per month? Thanks

Yes, i highly recommend burlee myself, but if you don't want any complicated restrictions, then don't go with the unlimited plan.

i have and recomend a version of the basic plan!

What kind of restrictions do they have on the unlimited plan? I was planning to use it to host my personal domain.

the unlimited plan would be sufficent for your personal domain. you can have either fp2000 or FTP support, full asp, but not your own components, its a little skimpy on the cgi, but there customer service is great. also, you can't have a unique ip number for the unlimited, since it is shared hosting.

[JoshT]

Yeah, thanks, I think the unlimited plan would be good - I don't want Front Page, just ASP with ADO and maybe the FileSystemObject. I just need a cheap place to stick my Resume and share a few pictures I take with my digital camera.

then the unlimited plan is the way to go. full asp. have fun man

I reccomend http://www.f2s.com.

Its FREE and has the following : -

20 Mbytes web space
Unlimited emails
Unlimited Internet capacity
Scripting in PHP4 and Perl
Webalizer web site statistics
Virus protected email
Microsoft Frontpage 2000 extensions
Database servers etc

Is it free to US customers, and does it have MySQL database?

I've tried them, and they are very good, but I would rather have PHP than ASP...

I use Brinkster (was eWebCity) and their premium membership with SQL Server DB is great. You get a virtual server for yourself and the service is friendly. I've been using them for a few months and am having my domain name transfered to them from freenetname.

I have tried brinkster, but i have problems in setting up my database. I normally test out my asp pages with personal web server. For this case, i set up my database using the ODBC - User DSN. How do I set up it on brinkster, or it uses another way to connect to database.

Here is a sample of my code..

<%

Set objConnection = server.CreateObject( "ADODB.Connection" )
Set objRecord = server.CreateObject( "ADODB.RecordSet" )
Call objConnection.Open( "DSN=Student" )
strQuery1 = "SELECT * FROM Examination INNER JOIN AcademicRecords2 ON Examination.ExaminationCode = AcademicRecords2.ExaminationCode WHERE (((AcademicRecords2.PuteraID)= " & _
Session( "StudentLoggedIn" )& _
"));"


Call objRecord.Open( strQuery1, objConnection, 1, 2 )

%>

The problem is i can't get the asp page to run the code. How do I make it work on brinkster?

All reply is appreciated. Thank you.

I stick the connection string in the global.asa:

Application("ConnString") = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:\Databases\MyDB.mdb;"

Then use that for the Connection when opening a recordset:

Set rsCodes = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsCodes.CursorLocation = adUseClient
rsCodes.Open "SELECT * FROM CodeTable",Application("ConnString"),adOpenForwardOnly,adLockReadOnly
Set rsCodes.ActiveConnection = Nothing
Do While Not rsCodes.EOF
...

And no DSN is needed, and I only have to use the connection string once = makes the code easy to maintain. You can use Server.MapPath to find the physical path of your DB if needed.
