Web Hosting + email

[thewisecrab]

Thanx guys for all your help
will host site on net4.in, host4cheap

one final doubt

he has designed an online form (like the one used to register on this forum)
so that customers can place their orders directly
how can the contents of this form (Name, Address, Ph no. etc..) be retieved for him to view?

 

[preshit.net]

It depends on how he has designed the form.

If he has only designed the html, he can either make it mail to him, or feed all the info into a database or do both. All 3 methods are pretty simple to implement.

-P

^^
basically i was looking for a procedure for this ( I'm in charge of maintaining site)
since it will be confidential customer info which should be leaked from the server and should reach him properly

^^ Google for FORM Builder

 

[thewisecrab]

I'm finding many buliders but unable to decide........
also
do i need a spam guard for his email account ?(i will be providing a link to his ID on site)

P.S. I'm really sorry to post such noobish questions
but i really need assurances and guarantees about what i'm doing(whether it is right or not)

Take a look at the following post on our forum.

CMS are used by lots of firms without any issues, since majority of them are open source and come with large amount skins, plugiins, addons and stuff

On most hosting, auto script installers are also part of the package

 

[thewisecrab]

So then
shud i go ahed and install a theme using joomla\wrdprss instead of actually designing a site from scratch?

 

[victor_rambo]

If you can tell how many pages, what types of pages, etc the website will have, we can guide you about it.

CMS is heavy on resources(ans esp with high traffic) and should be used only of you need them, else you can even with static HTMl pages.

Also if you decide to get a CMS, then pay something and get a professional theme/skin because free ones often come with manadatory backlinks.

I wont suggest it at the moment......

No offence, but you seem to be beginner to all this stuff. Once you get hold of the stuff, then you can start building Dynamic Website using CMS and stuff

At the moment, you can just google for Free or Paid Templates and edit them using Dreamweaver or any HTML editor to start

@thewisecrab
For E-mail service you can also use Microsoft Live Domain service.
*domains.live.com

M.S's live domains is a bad option IMHO

seems to work well only when you open it in IE - in the othr browsers it takes ages to open

also its got no inbuilt POP/IMAP [izymail]

but 1 thing that goes for Live domains is open memberships - does away with the hassle of creating every account yourself

Google Apps a much better option for ur emailing needs IMO

None Taken (yes i'm a beginner )
Will Look up dreamweaver templates
Static html will not do as it's too plain for such a site

Will give you a heads up on that....

 

[thewisecrab]

Now he has a very tall demand,
he says he needs a hosting service with range of 2000-2100Rs per YEAR
i found a few websites which take $ 4.95 per month
will they take yearly payment?
also can you'll suggest reliable hosts in this range?
