title: Could you suggest me the cheapest and most "basic" hosting/server solution for my website?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How to find web hosting that meets my requirements? My website (a soccer portal, containing Joomla and SMF) in the last months has grown so much that the shared-hosting service I bought about three months ago has decided to rescind our contract and pay the remaining nine months (since the contract is for one-year). I already searched on the net and on stackexchange too, of course, but I didn't find a solution to this problem. The website's load is about 280'000-300'000 hits/month. That's about 10'000 hits/day. This is the main reason they rescinded the contract: we exceeded the number of processes allowed: no other reason exists. On the web, I read they all say that "if you use a lot of resources, you need a dedicated/virtual server" (something like a VPS). Ok, so I've searched for a VPS, but I've found they are all too expensive! The cheapest I've found (on this Q&A board) is Linode, that's about 20$/month. That could be a very good solution, but I've still some doubts. My question is: granted that some friends of mine are system analysts, so I wouldn't spend any money to administrate the server, can you suggest the cheapest and most basic hosting/server solution (I mean VPS, dedicated- hosting, shared-hosting, cloud...) for my problem? As I've already said, our website uses two technologies: Joomla and SMF, so we need the most basic solutions. We don't offer emails to our users, we don't need subdomains, we don't need special technologies as Zope, Tomcat and so on. The most basic: PHP/MySQL. And _if exists_ CPanel, just for ease. Linode is the best I've found, but do other solutions - according to my parameters - exist? Thank you very much.

title: Recommend hosting with fast MySQL database please

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How to find web hosting that meets my requirements? I am frustrated to no end with my current hosting provider, mediaTemple. Yes, they are flashy, and have some decent degree of flexibility with their GS plan, which I have. But anytime I install a site that needs a database, it is slow. like really slow. Taking anywhere from 10 - 15 seconds just to load a page. I would host in house, but there are a lot of complications that come with a LAMP server that I don't want to deal with. Honestly, I'd rather spend the time developing. What can you recommend?


title: Podcast bandwidth

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How to find web hosting that meets my requirements? **The situation** Hi folks, I host a medium sized non-commercial audio-only podcast available through the standard ways (website streaming, itunes, stitcher, zune, etc). All these ways of listening are hotlinked back to a simple ftp server running on a VPS. We've recently been asked to leave that VPS because we're averaging 50GB per day of traffic. **The problem** I'm looking for a new method of hosting these media files. Transfer speed doesn't matter much, so long as people don't get refused a connection, but overall bandwidth per month does. Also, all the actual site hosting, rss, and other podcasting stuff is already handled and we're not looking to change it. Literally all we need is a new place to store and distribute our media files with hotlinks. **The solution** So far, the best solutions I've found are an order of magnitude more expensive that what we have now. All podcast CDNs seem to charge by the GB of transfer, or GB on disk, or both. All the regular webhosting I've found turns me away when they hear that 50GB per day number. I've considered getting several VPSes and trying to balance the load, but that would be an awkward solution, and a badly coded one as well if I had to do it myself. Is there anything I'm missing? I'm willing to look into anything.


title: Price per hour or per month

text: I am trying to select a host for my Node.js applications. They are low-traffic applications - I expect an average of 1-2 hours of use per day, so I am looking for a package where I can pay per use only. But I am confused by the different pricing schemes of price per month vs. price per hour - I am not sure which price takes effect when. For example, DigitalOcean FAQ says that: _"If you use your server for less than 672 hours during the month, you will be billed for each hour that you used it. If you use your server for more than 672 hours that month, you will be billed at the monthly cost". But on the other hand, in the next question they say: "Am I charged while my Droplet is in a powered-off state? - Yes. Your diskspace, CPU, RAM, and IP address are all reserved while your Droplet is powered off"_. If I understand this correctly, this means that, even when no one enters my website, they charge me as if I do use the site. As another example, AtlanticNet says that: _"With per-second billing, you only pay for what you use" ... "Monthly pricing based on average use."_. If I understand this correctly, this means that the only effective price is price per hour, and I pay only per actual use. So, my question is: if my Node.js application is always on and waiting for users, but users use it only 1 hour per day, how much will I pay? Will I pay for an entire month, or only for 30 hours?

title: Looking for a reliable and inexpensive dedicated server host

They want me do do it on my own or charge me for their support, even though, as I pointed out to them, that they sold me a lemon and I am only half-year half through my lease term. Instead I am looking for a new provider, that will send less promotional emails and will provide a better support. My current needs are not that great but I do need a dedicated server.

title: a good VPS to grow into (cheap at start, multiple sites, php and python, easily custom-configurable)

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How to find web hosting that meets my requirements? We develop and host for many clients. I am choosing an upgrade over shared hosts, preferably a VPS. The new site should be able to deploy PHP for multiple sites. It should also support a localhost python web process (no Django/frameworks involded) (I described the details in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6939561/most-easy-reliable-cheap-way-to- deploy-this-python-workhorse-app-with-a-php-f ). We expect ~1000 hits a day combined (and very modest spikes expected) and consequent bandwidth use of 20gb per month. So, I ask for:   * latest versions of PHP, Python on a popular distro, accessible via shell   * fair pricing at this traffic level (~10$ per month)   * fair pricing for scaling up and good upgrade/scale options   * GUI config for multiple sites/ server features   * sync via SSH even over an obscure network architecture (I am told we have no "public IPs") * * * As a hypothetical question, which provider could help me set up a GIT/Mercurial+TRAC server the most easily? (I know there are things like Bitbucket but this seems a hypothetical challenge that corelates well) I heard good things about WebFaction and Pyrox. How will they suit my above requirements? I dont want to steer the conversation prematurely. * * * I will start off from WebFaction or VPSlink which have been doing it for years, and the economics are firmly on that side and also easier for a newb. But Linode is what I choose a great upgrade for a serious site.

title: Which service for storage and public hosting of image files

text: I have been searching this for hours and every services I found have limitations or cost that do not work for me. My quest is simple. I have hundreds of thousands of image files (time lapse jpg images < 5 MB) which are organised in folders and subfolders. I originally hosted them with HostGator. Unfortunately, they see them as storage only because no file was displayed on a web page for 2 months. So HG is kicking me out. I need to quickly find an alternative service which works like a web server so I can organise the files exactly the same way, upload them via FTP or PHP script, and rsync from HG to move all the first (initially) AND be able to display the image file in a normal image tag in a web page. My local ISP in RSA is too expensive and also limit the hosting space to very little. You know the story for HostGator. SmugMug has unlimited storage but only allows upload via their web pages or LightRoom. Would cloud storage be a good option? Can someone recommend a good and affordable service for this?

title: Windows hosting - Shared | VPS | Cloud

text: I'll begin with stating what I require for a new website project:   * ASP.NET (probably 4+)   * SQL Server (not fussy, probably 2008+)   * IIS 7   * SSL Not a huge list which is nice. However, the behaviour of the site and its will likely impact things. We are expecting to see quite large peaks and troughs, some spontaneous (eg. new ad), but generally predictable increases in traffic around Xmas (large spike on boxing day) and Easter. I've previously only ever used shared hosting (freelance) or dedicated (at a company) so I have never used VPS or Cloud. I have ruled out dedicated due to cost. Shared I am not so sure about, I have looked at shared hosting on Azure but wasn't entirely sure between Shared or Reserved. Further, how do these differ from cloud services? From some articles on the web, it seems that cloud services mean that you definitely get the resources you are paying for, rather than possibly sharing it with other customers on a shared service: > Since each customer gets his or her own virtual server "instance", there is > almost no contention for resources since the hypervisor manages these > partitions. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/cloud/cloud-services- > apps/395-cloud-vs-shared-hosting-whats-the-difference?start=1 Additionally, because there is not one server, if more resources are required then there is the ability to quickly boost numbers and later reduce them when traffic spikes are over. So lastly is VPS, which seems to be similar to shared hosting in terms of hardware (a single server rack) but with the appearance of a dedicated server. However, this introduces maintenance requirements but, certainly with regards to SSL, might be the only way to get what I want (currently no SSL on shared sites, not sure about cloud). Hopefully I've got my understanding of the technologies correct. Can anyone advise which solution would be best for me? While money is obviously tricky as it depends on host, but our starting fee would ideally be no more than £50/month, but certainly to begin with we only need the most simple of hardware requirements. Oh, also we're solely UK based which possibly affects the decision to choose cloud hosting.

title: Has anyone used WebFaction hosting for large traffic websites?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How to find web hosting that meets my requirements? I'm a point where I'm needing to move a large traffic website off of MediaTemple Grid Server (it's maxing out the resources there now and they have actually asked politely for it to be moved to something more suitable) and on to a new server that can handle things better. My first thought was setting up a VPS. The site has two main components, the website itself and a forum. The website is currently coded in PHP with MySQL and is mostly static HTML files dotted with PHP scripts. It's old and cranky and ideally I want to move it to something like Django. The forum is a Simple Machines forum written in PHP and uses MySQL. They both get a lot of traffic. Bandwidth is up in the 600mb to 1gb status a month with over 500,000 visitors and more a month. The forum gets 400+ posts a day with 40,000 visitors a day. Like I say, I was going to move each part to their own VPS. One for each. But then I was thinking... I'm having to set this up all my self, I need to get backups sorted, I'll need to maintain the website myself. It's all alot of work, which I'm not sure I want to take on. So... Then I thought of WebFaction. I've used them for a few small websites. I've contacted them to ask this exact same question, and they indeed said it could handle it. But they would surely say this. I'm curious to know if anyone here has used WebFaction for large scale websites. Stuff with a lot of traffic. Can WebFaction handle large scale websites in your experience?

The site buckles when it gets a significant amount of traffic I looked at numerous 3rd party videos/audio hosting solutions and they have very limited storage and are very expensive. Storing files on Amazon is affordable at first but once you start to scale those charges skyrocket. Should I host the website on one server and then use another to just stream the files? How would I even begin to setup something like that? Looking for the most cost effective and most reliable solution.

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How to find web hosting that meets my requirements? Ok, so I've had it with godaddy. What I need from you is a recommandation of a web hosting company that has php imap extension enabled and even if it has this extension enabled, the ports won't be blocked (i've run into 1 host with this problem ... i could use php imap function but... connection timed out ). Bassically I want to make use of osTicket and write an app that retreieves emails from google accounts using imap/pop3. I am only askingthis here because I want to be sure that php imap functions are working as it should, not be enabled, but the ports blocked ( which is useless ). PS: i don`t want to rent a whole server computer. I just need a standard hosting account ( maybe with cpanel ). Thank you.

title: High quality/performance shared hosting (in northern Europe)

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How to find web hosting that meets my requirements? I work as a web developer on almost all levels. However, my typical customer is a 1-5 guys running some sort of consulting business. They have (or want) a web page with some kind of CMS so the can perform most (or all) editing themselves. I normally opt for Concrete5 as my default CMS because it's the most user friendly (and free) CMS I have found. My good recurring customers I host on my own server as a service, but I need a good host for the customers where I want to deliver a product and not be responsible for whatever may happen in the future. However, I still struggle with hosting! Experience shows that the typical ~1$ shared hosting is waaay to slow to run concrete5 smoothly, and a VPS is out of the question because I don't want to maintain it. So, where can I find as fast (from northern Europe), reliable, shared host where I can put a site and don't have to worry about the server going down or being unmaintained. I expect this should cost around $10-$20 but I'm open to all kinds of suggestions because different customers have different budgets.

title: Which Cloud Region Should I select for my blog site?

After recent growth on traffic, I feel like, its time to get serious by hosting it to a better place, I am thinking about cloud obviously. However, in amazon/digitalocean etc, I have to select the region where I want to host the site. As part of shared hosting it was hosted in US region, I guess. But as my site's traffic mostly based on Asia, I am thinking to choose a nearby location now, say, Singapore. Though I know, its probably make sense to do so. But at the same time, I also don't want my North american visitors suffers, rather I want to grow more visitors in this area(I myself currently reside in Canada). Just wondering if the decision moving the server to singapore region can be very bad for north american visitors or it will be kind of OK for now? Should I stick to a US based server for any reason? For User Experience/SEO perspective?

The problem is I don't know who to buy from, and am wary that just because the numbers look good doesn't mean the service is good. I am happy to stay unmanaged for the time being, and am in two minds whether or not to use cPanel (is pretty expensive, plus I plan on using Centmin Mod to ensure things like PHP, NGINX .etc stay up to date). I was hoping you could provide suggestions of quality hosting providers who are affordable (I don't want to spend much more than $20 a month for the time being, but want an easily upgradeable system should I ever need more resources). **In short I require:**   * $20 max budget (small room for manoeuvre)   * CentOS (preferably 5.* and 64bit)   * Speed lots of it (I am no expert on the balance of resources, so need a little guidance here)   * an upgradeable plan should the time arise   * A good experience :) Thanks.

title: How many websites (such as in example) can I run on a Virtual server with 1CPU-core (2.0ghz) / 1Gb Ram?

text: I'm at the end of my web hosting contract and I'm thinking of changing my plan. Instead of a 'simple' web hosting plan, I'm thinking of 'buying' (renting) a virtual server at theirs, to host multiple websites on. A single subscription (€ 9,99) will give me a 'cloud box' where I can run one virtual server on. I will have the use of 1 single core and 1.024GB of ram, and enough of bandwidth and data storage. However, I'm really wondering how many websites I can run on such server, with websites such as (this, html/jquery website and Wordpress websites such as these - keeping in mind these websites will attract up to 20 viewers a day, each, at most. Based upon the system resources and the website examples that should run upon such system, how well would the server/websites perform? Let's say I'd run 15 websites on such server, each such as the examples as above, with each up to 15 viewers, each, at most, spread over the day. With a score of 1 (not), 2 (below normal) 3 (reasonable) 4 (more than enough) 5 (excellent) - What score would you give it, to answer the question 'how well would it perform' ? As opinions are not allowed (right?) - Please clarify based upon facts.

I've run a custom built social network on top of asp .net mvc & sql server 2005 for the last 2 years on discountasp .net I've been satisfied with the value as it's cost me around $500 over that period. The limitations are 1GB storage which meant the only media on the network I could afford was 1 profile photo per member and 1GB database, which means I have to periodically delete all my logs and I'm left with about 600MB sized sql database. The social network has been linearly growing consistently since inception and this solution will not hold of for 2 much longer. I also wish to build a whole new much more involved site, richer in media and many more options for user interaction, meaning a database schema double the size and much higher db traffic. I would like to find a cost effective (like $300 per month or less) solution to host the new site which would have around 10,000 daily visitors. Perhaps I might need a 10GB sql server database, which much be 2008 R2 because I've got cool spacial stuff going on. Also I'm wondering if I can put my media on a separate cheap hosting solution where I don't have to pay through the roof for storage and bandwidth and implement it so users to seemlinessly switch servers (and hosts) while they use the application. Has anyone ever done this? If so which host did you use for your media? Any help greatly appreciated!

I just finished my CS degree (at 39 years old :-)). For my final project I designed and built a system that can provide local positioning / location awareness to mobile wifi devices (only have Android client thus far). The server receives data from clients, processes it, and responds to the clients with a messages containing information about their respective locations. I would like to continue the project (perhaps release as open source but that is a different discussion). Thus far my server application has been running on the CS department's hardware where I could pretty much do whatever I wanted. I'm getting kicked off that system in a few weeks so I have to find a new home for my server application. **I need a host that will let me run my Java server (along w/ mySQL db) -- preferably on the cheap since I haven't yet got a job.

If that turns out to be a tall order then I need to know what my options are for changing thing so that I can get up and running with some hosting.** As an aside, I'm also researching whether or not I should rewrite this in a different language. Trying to figure out if there is a substantially better (for whatever reason) one for what I'm doing. This might also potentially have a bearing on my hosting needs. One possibility is to write the server in something more widely accepted by hosting services. I have been searching for answers to my question and haven't found quite what I'm looking for. Part of the problem might be that I don't know exactly what terminology to use. If there is a good answer to this question elsewhere please feel free to point me towards it.

The reason why I am looking for such a thing is: i) In most shared hosting plans, you end up getting better CPU/burst RAM than a VPS provided you don't abuse. ii) Dedicated IP is good for SEO. For example, many times, you may get up getting an IP where some p*** sites are also hosted in shared hosting.

text: I am looking for a place to host a mvc .net website. The primary users will be in South Africa.

My alternative is some local VM hosting, but would prefer a SaaS route?


title: Comparison of web hosting providers

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How to find web hosting that meets my requirements? My current web host that I've been with for over a decade is jerking me around, and I'm ready to find a new provider. Holy smokes! There are so many! It's overwhelming! I want to see a comparison of the most popular hosting providers. I want to compare things like:   * Bandwidth allotment   * Storage limit   * Databases      * MySQL     * SQL Server   * # of Free Domains   * # of Sites etc. Better would be a tool that let's me supply parameters that will narrow down the list. Ie, only windows with unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth, free sql server databases and less than $5.00 month. I've found a couple of sites that do something like this, but not very well. Is there something like what I'm looking for already on the web? I don't want to go to dozens of different hosting provider sites and jot down all the stats manually.

title: Investigating and finding a web host

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How to find web hosting that meets my requirements? I am looking for a website host and have been searching the web for similar websites(similar to my website) and trying to see what hosting company they are using. I keep looking up details of websites I like on netcraft.com, and I keep finding 'n' number of Netblock owners with Random or generic names. Apart from a few popular ones(eg. Planet.com, MT), I find it extremely difficult to find out who the hosting company is. For eg. Netcraft Site report for a website www.randomwebsite.com gives Netblock owner as RandomWebHoster.com, if I go to RandomWebHoster.com the site does not exist. The DNS is given as ns1.superrandomdns.com, the website superrandomdns.com simply has a page saying superrandomdns.com. I am looking for a reliable web host with **J2EE support** for a accounting webapp. How do I investigate stuff myself if I want to find a good host? Where did you begin when looking for a webhost? (Please do not down vote the question. My goal is to make host evaluation easier.) I understand that different type of websites have different needs, eg. a low traffic blog v/s a mission critical webapp.

title: Managing a large dynamic website

text: so I just finished making a website and want to ensure that it could support a given amount of users at a time. I built it on a shared hosting account, but the thing is that my web hoster has a maximum of 10 simultaneous connections to a database. So, only 10 users at any given time can make a request to the DB. This is a problem because the site is dynamic and loads data from the database on every load. I was wondering what a sufficient type of server would be to host this site (again no accounts, user picture uploads or anything, just requests from a MySQL database and occasional copying of images from the web). I would like to support at least 5000 users at any given time, maybe more. Thank you.

text: Hopefully this is a reasonable place to ask this question. I'll confess I'm a little green when it comes to web programming and websites in general (though not programming). I'm a Math and Physics person. I want to make a personal webpage containing a Math and Physics blog. Ideally the blog should support latex, and embedded programs. This would allow me to write, say, an equation for an orbit and then show what the orbit would look like (perhaps letting the reader configure parameters). The programming language can be javascript (though it isn't my favorite language). My budget is around 5 dollars a month. Does anybody have suggestions for a good Shared host with these kind of requirements? And a small aside, It would be useful if I can move the website content, since I might live at a university in the nearish future. They would have servers which could support such a webpage.

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How to find web hosting that meets my requirements? We're going to be launching an app that we believe will ultimately generate a couple thousand page views a day, but on day one it's gonna be close to zero. What I'm trying to figure out is how we can access our minimum hosting requirements. It's a PHP app on the CodeIgniter framework that uses PrinceXML to produce PDFs. Does it 'generally' make sense to start on virtual dedicated server rather than the cloud? Is there a way to access whether our server will need 2GB or 4GB things like that? I can find my way around Plesk, but I have near zero experience with Linux or cloud hosting and trying to learn as much as I can before we launch/ Any advice as to the best way to approach this will be greatly appreciated.


title: How much bandwidth do I need? Please help?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How to find web hosting that meets my requirements? I'm an inexperienced webmaster trying to estimate hosting requirements for a site. I need to work out a dollar amount for a grant. The tricky part is that traffic fluctuates dramatically throughought the year, because we're an international day of celebration. That means most of the year, we get ~50 visitors a day. Then in the months ramping up to the day, we get between 200-600 visitors a day. In a three day span at the peak, we can get 5,000-200,000 a day. Last year the site crashed because of this and I want to avoid it this year. I'm writing a grant to get better hosting, but I have no idea what the best solution for this would be. I need to have a solid dollar amount it will PROBABLY have if things go the way they did last year. Any help is greatly appreciated. EDIT: we're in the USA. Right now we have our site hosted on GoDaddy but I don't have the details. The site handled the traffic okay right up until June 8th, when it crashed. We don't have an accurate measure of how many people visited, but our sysadmin thought it was a DDOS attack at first. He said it was around 200,000 at once. The site is http://www.WorldOceansDay.org Note: we also use CloudFlare to cache and serve our pages, not sure how that may affect it

Unfortunately my current hoster doesn't unless I buy a real expensive package.

title: django & postgres linux hosting (with SSH access) recommendations

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How to find web hosting that meets my requirements? We're looking for a good place to host our custom Django app (a fork of OSQA) and its postgresql backend. Requirements include:   * Linux   * Python 2.6 or (ideally) Python 2.7   * Django 1.2   * Postgres 8.4 or later    * DB backup/restore handled by the hoster, not us   * OS & dev-platform-stack patching/maintenance handled by the hoster, not us   * SSH access (so we can pull source code from GitHub, so we can install python eggs, etc.)   * ability to set up cron jobs (e.g. to send out dail email updates)   * ability to send up to 10K emails/day   * good performance (not ganged up with a zillion other sites on one CPU, not starved for RAM)   * FTP or SCP access to web logs   * dedicated public IP   * SSL support    * Costs under $1000/month for a relatively small site (<5M pageviews/month)   * Good customer service We already have a prototype site running on EC2 on top of a Bitnami DjangoStack. The problem is that we have to patch the OS, patch postgres, etc. We'd really prefer a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering, like Heroku offers for Rails apps, where all we need to worry about is deploying our code instead of worrying about system software patching and maintenance. Google App Engine is closest to what we're looking for, but they don't offer relational DB access (not yet at least). Anyone have a recommendation?

title: Web hosting company basically forces me to use their domain name

text: I've recently stumbled upon an unusual problem with one of hosting companies called giga-international.com. Anyway, I've ordered com.hr domain from Croatian domain name registration company, and my client insisted on using this host provider as couple of his friends already are hosted with them. I thought something was fishy when the first result on Google for Giga International was this little forum rant instead of their webpage. When I was checking their services they listed many features etc... space available, bandwidth etc. I just wanted to check how much ram do I get for my PHP scripts so I emailed them, and they told me that was company secret. Seriously? Anyway, since my client still insisted on hosting with them I've bought their Webspace package. During registration I **had** to choose free domain name because I couldn't advance registration without it. Nowhere was said, not even in general terms and conditions that I wouldn't be able to change that domain name. At least not for double the price of domain name per year. They said I can either move my domain name over to them (and pay them domain registration), or pay them 1 Euro per month for managing a DNS entry. On any previous hosting solution I was able to manage my domain names just by pointing my domain to their name servers, and this is something completely new and absurd for me. They also said that usual approach is not possible because of security and hardware limitations. I'd like to know what you guys think about this case, and should I report, and where should I report this case. **In short. They forced me to register free domain name which doesn't suit my needs in order to register for their webspace package, and refuse to change domain name for my account until I either transfer domain to them or pay them DNS management which costs double the price of the domain name per year.**


title: Forum Spam Question. Why are Chinese hackers posting tiny images on my forum

text: My forum is getting attacked by spammers with Chinese IP's. Replies are created to discussion topics, always short responses and along with the response an image is inserted using forum code which is then modified by the forum to an HTML image tag (no anchor tag). > So beautiful picture [img]http://www.coupon-domain-goes- > here.com/avatar2.jpg[/img] The replies are created by humans not bots because they are slightly relevant to the discussion. The images do not display so regular forum members have no idea that this is spam. the reason they don't display is because the images return a 302 response code and redirects to a URl like this > http:// www.coupon-domain-goes-here .com/avatar.php?u=2 which then redirects with a 302 to another image on the same domain which is also called avatar.gif. > http:// www.coupon-domain-goes-here .com/images/avatar.gif My question is why are they doing this. Is there an SEO benefit. There is no link created. It's only an image so the URl in the middle which is a PHP file should not be getting any link juice from search engines. Or maybe I am wrong? What do you think?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Which Content Management System (CMS) should I use? I'm searching for a good Bliki solution, meaning a combination of blog and wiki that I can install on my own web space. I would like to be able to write articles in the wiki style much like with media wiki. So I want to use a wiki markup language, have a revision history, comments, internal links to other pages (maybe in other languages) and be able to collaboratively edit the articles. On the other side I would like to have a blog-like view on my articles, showing new articles (and changes to existing articles) in a time ordered fashion. It would be nice if it would be possible to search through the articles and also tag the articles, so one could generate a tag cloud for the articles. A nice feature would also be to be able to order the articles according to views or even a voting system for the articles. Good would also be a permission system to keep certain articles private, showing them only to people logged in to the platform. Apart from these nice to have features an absolute must have feature for the Bliki platform I'm searching is the possibility to handle math equations (written in LaTeX syntax) and display them either as pictures like media wiki or even better using Mathjax. At the moment I'm using a web service called wikiDot which offers some of the mentioned features, however the free version shows to much advertisements, the blog feature is not mature, the design is quite ugly and loading of the page is often slow. So I want to install a Bliki solution on my own webspace. Can you recommend any solution for that?


title: Are there other .NET based Content Management Systems (CMS) beside DotNetNuke that support multiple sites with one install?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Which Content Management System (CMS) should I use? I know that there are a LOT of questions on SO about CMSs based on .NET but I have just one specific question. I know that DotNetNuke supports multiple site creation on one installation. Of the other wellknown .Net CMSs... N2CMS Composite C1 Umbraco Orchard AxCMS ...do any of them support this feature out of the box (or with relative ease)? BTW, if you know of some low-cost non-free CMSs that would support this feature don't hesitate to give them a mention (as long as they are built on the Microsoft stack.) **EDIT** Just learned that this feature is called multi-tenancy...thanks David. Thanks for your answers. Can anyone give clarity on whether N2CMS, Composite, or AxCMS support multi-tenancy. Seth
