[It works!]

It works!

This is the default web page for this server.

The web server software is running but no
content has been added, yet.

Looks like you're having a bit of a problem there. However, if I remove the "www", http://seiwanetwork.org/ works.

do you happen to know how to fix that?

You need to edit the Virtual Host file for seiwanetwork.org

Assuming you created them like I think you did you should be able to do:

Code Select Expand


nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/seiwanetwork.org


Add

Code Select Expand


ServerAlias www.seiwanetwork.org


After

Code Select Expand


ServerName seiwanetwork.org


Then save (reminder below):

Code Select Expand


CTRL + X
Y
Enter


Code Select Expand


/etc/init.d/apache2 reload


Done

fixed

Tabs should need to be clicked, there can be a lot of "Oops, didn't mean to hover over that."

I pay $40 out of my own pocket each month for Starfy Wiki and a few of other websites, none of which have ADs on any of them. Although I am capable of paying the $40 on my own, for now, having a bill of $59 (I have two linodes, a 512 and a 1024, my websites and starfywiki are on the 1024) every month not including gas, personal stuff, medical bills, and other things it would  be nice to be able to pull some revenue somehow to at least pay for a little bit of the $40 a month. ADs can help with this but I find that ADs don't necessarily always pull that much $$ in unless you completely bomb the place with them all over, and no one likes ADs as is.

My only way to really pull revenue is to either sell hosting or ask for donations, and if someone where to donate it's probably going to be a one time thing.

In other words (TLDR):
Don't jump into getting a VPS if you know you are financially unstable. Make sure that you are in good standing and are able to pay the bills, if you can pay for a couple months at a time that's even better.

from my experience the dreamhost servers seem sluggish.

starting at $20 a month, till i get a hire paying job.

Linode is a great VPS to go with in that case. Just install either the LAMP or LEMP stackscript and you'll be good to go!

This

How much are you willing to pay per month?

From people I've known that have used a VPS from Dream host, website loads were extremely sluggish.

I've forgotten but with Linode they have stackscripts which can help you setup a webserver 100% easier.

Shared hosting can have it's downfalls.

Just to make sure shared hosting is going to be HostGator, BlueHost, so on so forth. Unless you have a VPS/Dedicated Server with one of them. If you don't know what those are you probably don't have them.

The cons are:
Limited Resources
- You can't edit stuff that may be crucial. (PHP Config) some hosts may allow minimal configuration though.
- If your site is found to be using a lot of system resources which mediawiki isn't shy about your webhost may e-mail you basically saying you need to upgrade to a higher package, I think this is what happened with Wikirby?
- Slow, often these websites can be found to be slow due to limited resources and others using the same server for hosting, and who knows what they are doing.

Pros:
- Easy installation with Cpanel/Fantastico or something similar.
- Support. Some hosts will offer support in regards with your site.
- Inexpensive

If you know linux and how to make/manage a web server from scratch then and have money you are willing to spend then VPS/Dedicated is probably the way to go.

Cons:
- You have to install everything: php5, curl, apache, mySQL, phpMyAdmin, ftp, and anything else you may need. This can be tedious especially if this is your first time managing a VPS or Dedicated server.
- No easy and fast installs of php scripts. Unless your host offers CPanel with Fantastico or something similar or you dish out $500-$1000 for the stuff you are going to to need to download the files, upload them to the server. Create a mySQL database and install the php software yourself. This isn't really hard but can be tedious.
- Costly. /Good/ dedicated servers can go above $150 a month while VPSes can go for around $20-$100 a month.

Pros:
- Full access to your stuff. This can be both be good and bad. Bad if you mess something up, you will have to fix it. Good as in there are almost no limits to what you can do (as long as they follow your VPS/Dedi provider's AuP.
- More resources. You get a better share of system resources to yourself and your VPS. With Dedicated Servers you are the only one using that server so all those system resources go to you. VPSes can be seen as "shared" hosting but are almost always going to be better than normal non VPS shared hosting.
- Root access both VPS and Dedicated servers give you root control, or administrator privileges. This means you can control any part of the server that you want.

StarfyWiki.org is running on my WebVPS.

I can't really think of anything else to say but maybe some of the other guys can give some of their thoughts...

If you are wondering I own 2 Linodes, http://linode.com
1 Linode 512 (Runs IRC and a couple of IRC related stuff)
1 Linode 767 (Runs all my hosted websites including StarfyWiki.org)

Both are extremely stable and speeds are great.
Support is probably one of the best out there in the VPS market, you /will/ get a response to any ticket within 10 minutes.
They also recently just announced native IPv6 support, for those computer geeks out there.
They offer scripts that will help you setup a web server with apache, mySQL, php, etc.
Can be used to host minecraft and other gameservers!

Probably because all images on your wiki are under dragon-quest.org/w/ which you have disallowed crawlers from going though.

For example the pages like below are just place holders, crawlers will see it, yes... but when they try to go to the image directly it's under /w/ which according to your robots.txt you don't allow crawlers to see.

We have a word for people like you.

That word is "fanboy".

Well said.

There have only been 72 queries this month.

Unsticking this thread.

Any chance you can update your Internet Explorer to the latest version for your OS?

IE 9 for Windows 7 ONLY
IE 8

IE 6 is generally no longer supported.

You guys are always welcome on my net. We have a few games in case you get bored, secured, and extremely stable.

The only real thing new users would need to know is how to register their nick, and join a channel. If they were made either hop, aop, sop or admin that's a different story.

Otherwise it's just typing like you do in skype.

I think any server with a flashpolicy in place is a plus. This allows the use of a flash client called LightIRC that does not have ADs, supports some theme customization, any amount of users.

Example: Hyrule.net's Chat
