Webhosting...

Just a reminder to those of you out there who either don't know or don't remember or don't care, but I have an approximate metric fuckton of webspace and can host domains and subdomains. So if you want a webpage, to post art or fic, or to noodle about with, or run an RPG, or whatever, and you want it FREEEEEEE, then let me know. :)



WHAT YOU GET:

1. 1 gig disk space. Possibly more if you can convince me you need it. :)
2. Dreamhost has given me about 2.5 terabytes bandwidth, so unless you start streaming porn, you won't run out of it. If you start streaming porn, your account is no longer free. :D
3. Access to the DH panel, which allows you to manage your site.
4. FTP access, either via WebFTP or your own FTP program
5. Shell access, if you want it.
6. A MySQL database.
7. PHP 5
8. Access to DH's One-Click Installs, which include forum software, shopping cart (no credit cards unless you're willing to either run it through Paypal or pay for the security certificate), a WordPress blog, and several other things.
9. Your own subdomain, at [your subdomain name].magatsu.net. If you want your own domain name, I can host those, too, but you'll have to buy the domain name yourself (cheapest option) or give me $10 to register it for you.


WHAT YOU DO:

1. Do not install a BitTorrent tracker - DH doesn't allow them.
2. Do not distribute TV episodes, anime, movies, mp3s, etc. Dreamhost deletes them when they're detected, and may take down my account, which means you've just nuked the websites of several other people as well. If that happens, I'm deleting your account.
3. Take security seriously. This means that if you install anything on the webspace, you are responsible for keeping it up-to-date with upgrades and security patches. If I log into the panel and see that you haven't attended to any One-Click Installs with upgrades available in a few days, then I'll click the button and upgrade them myself. Which means that if something goes wrong with the upgrade, you don't have a backup. Best to do it yourself first.
4. Be responsible for your own backups. DreamHost doesn't back your files up, and neither do I. If your site gets hosed and you don't have a backup, even if I caused it, I'll give you sympathy but not much else. :) You're getting exactly what you pay for.


Or, if you want to buy your own hosting plan and are thinking about DreamHost, please consider using the referral code TELO2, which will give you $50 off a 1-year or 2-year hosting package, plus a free domain name registration. :)

I've been posting my drafts and working versions to flickr, because it's easy and free but...the next bit of art I have coming up is tentacle porn yaoi and I'd be surprised if they didn't yank it. Would you be willing to host something like that?

I had a website eons ago that I did with Mozilla's WYSIWYG application (N something?, I forget the name), so I'm pretty much a web-programming idiot, but I follow directions well.

Sure, no prob. :) I host [livejournal.com profile] madame_manga's NC-17 Blade of the Immortal fics, after all. :)

Simple HTML is pretty easy, and if you don't want to mess about with learning it, I can show you how to beat WordPress into a content management system, like I did with the http://www.projectbluerose.com site.

Excellent! Heh.

I'd like to do whatever makes it easiest for you. I don't mind learning basic HTML if that's best, or I have the whole creative suite, and would happily download another editor/thingy, too.

Sure, no prob. :)

I put all the info that you need to send in this post (http://telophase.livejournal.com/830033.html) to save retyping.

Aaaaaaaand ... attend to my journal for a notice that I think you'll find quite squeeful, if I remember to post it. XD

Yes, thank you kindly! And also some of [livejournal.com profile] amberguesa's NC-17+ Blade of the Immortal fan art; sure is nice not having to sneak that onto Photobucket. ;D

:D

I was poking through my Photobucket account, and a nude drawing I'd done was replaced with a content warning thing - not even sexual, just a nude woman standing there, quite art-like. I was amused, rather than offended, because they had completely missed the two other copies of the same linework with different toning styles that were uploaded next to it. XD I'm just wondering how they managed to find that one and not the others.
