    My disappearing site.

    As he already stated, it is unknown when the server will be restored. I'm also on Chopin with a down site, so I understand your frustrations. However, you also have to realize that you're using a free hosting service for your business. If you want more stability, and x10's free hosting is pretty...

    What the best way of dealing with online idiots?

    Usually I just ignore the idiotic posts. Occassionally though I will egg them on just because I find it funny. Eventually you get them using complicated circular arguments that I'm pretty sure they don't even understand anymore.

    Online College

    I'm currently working on an online bachelors degree through Grantham University. It's my second bachelors degree, so it's given me a good chance to compare the two methods. The first thing to consider is accredidation. Online colleges still need to be accredided in order for other...

    phpbb3 upgrade suspends my account !!

    I just did that upgrade yesterday and I didn't have any problems, so it shouldn't be phpBB alone causing the problems. Do you have any other scripts on your site that may also be running at the same time? The combination of the two (or more) scripts might be causing the problem.

    domains

    you can also set up a Google Apps account that comes with a small handful of free email addresses, but then you have to mess with your domain settings to get them to work, which can be a pain. I'd only suggest it if you need more than the 5 that x10 gives you.

    Having a problem submit form

    Sorry, but it's quite literally as it says. Corey (the administrator and owner of x10) has disabled that script. It looks like it's a mass email script, but I could be wrong. If you check the news forum it says that all mass email scripts have been banned.

    Laws about freelance designs and Taxes

    Technically, at least for the US, any income is supposed to be reported no matter where it came from. Therefore, you should report the income on your taxes. If you get to the point where it could be considered a small business there would be other rules that are far too complex for here. That...

    Birth of Sociology

    Are we discussing philosophy, sociology, or language? I think it's getting lost in the jumble. To say that 2 could be called 1 or elephant is a question of language. For example, one plus uno really does equal 3, and so on, it's about language. If you were to look into the questions of why an...

    Honesty

    I would have called attention to the mistake, maybe not in a loud, make everyone look kind of way though. I believe in getting what I can out of life, but that's a bit much. Besides, my mom has worked in banks for a while now, so I know that the teller would have been fired on the spot for...

    Could we have another forum

    x10hosting only allows one account per person, so this wouldn't work. As for the idea overall, I'm on the fence whether I agree. Part of me wants to say that you should stand behind what you have to say and if people don't like it then deal. However, another part of me wants to say that I...

    Local SQL database transfer

    it mostly depends on what front-end you're using to manage your database. If you're using phpMyAdmin to manage it, one of the tabs up top says 'export' and another says 'import'. You can use those tabs to export the database from your local web-server and import it to your online counter part.

    List of extremely helpful sites for web designers.

    It's funny, I really get annoyed at everyone trying to shove toolbars on me, and yet I'm strangely tempted to go to this website and make one. Regardless, great list. It'll take me forever to actually have a chance to go through all of these and check them out.

    Your Site's Longest Downtime with X10?

    Aside from the massive server transfer / upgrades from a little while back, I haven't seen any downtime that lasted more than an hour that I noticed. Of course, my site doesn't get much traffic, so it's not like anyone would have complained about the downtime if it did happen :D

    When somebody close to you has cancer, how do you stop being angry

    never lose hope. My grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and told that it was an extremely bad case. A week later she saw a different doctor for a second opinion. The second doctor was much more positive about the severity and treatability of her cancer. After the treatments she was in...

    Chopin Server

    It's working here in Iraq, though my work's firewalls are denying access to the page itself.

    VPS so cheap?

    well, we did have that one guy recently that wanted x10 to pretty much write his website for him... I mean, hey, who wouldn't want a free hosting service that also writes the website for you?

    Is there anyone else having problem with CPanel?

    @bukmstr: As zen-r said, normally uptime is somewhere in the 95%-98% range or better. I hate to say it, but it seems you started your account on a bad day. I would suggest sticking around for a little longer to get a better feel for x10, especially since they do offer an insane number of...

    You've Got STDs! err... Mail!

    wow... and here I mis-read the post and thought they had the decency to suggest a real card, not just an e-card. Does it have a little animation to go with it like the e-cards I occasionally get from hallmark? On another note, I'm realizing that this thread is bringing out a very morbid side...
