banjo67xxx Posted March 21, 2007 at 12:09 AM Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 at 12:09 AM Please can you be more specific? I have a few web sites in the US, UK and even one in Taiwan. Some I let my ISP host for me, and I just use their software to create the web site, but most I host myself as follows ... I have a Sun Ultra-5 on which I run apache, mysql and PHP. Some software came builtin with Solaris 10, others I downloaded and installed from http://www.sunfreeware.com and others I had to download from http://www.soureforge.net compile, debug the compiler problems, and install by hand. I also use the builtin named to serve the DNS for my domainnames, and have registered my static IP with my domainname ISPs. To get all this to work from home, I have to have static IP from my broadband ISP, and configure my ADSL modem/router/firewall to forward all traffic for ports 53 (DNS) and port 80 (http) to the Ultra-5. I don't know if this is any help, as you really need to be more specific about what you want to know ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qiuyue Posted March 21, 2007 at 10:15 AM Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 at 10:15 AM Well, I am not very technical. I run Joomla!-sites, so I need a server that can host that. Thank you anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted March 21, 2007 at 10:26 AM Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 at 10:26 AM You can try ICDSoft, which allows you to choose from servers in the US or HK. HK servers generally can be accessed fairly quickly from the mainland. http://www.icdsoft.com/ Pleco is using them for a mirror download site.

Qiuyue Posted March 21, 2007 at 11:53 AM Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 at 11:53 AM Thanks, I already had a look at those servers, and they can host Joomla!, but my web-consulter says it isn´t perfect, has something to do with "php.ini for each folder" apparently.
