Web hosting with Time Warner Cable?
I have a Pocket PC and have been looking for forums for these products. I found a few, but none of them fulfill my needs. Some were promising, but I was either unable to sign up, or it didn't help me with what I was looking for. As a result, I want to help those and allow others to help those who need help with Pocket PCs and PDAs. I am creating a forum right now, and I have run into a few issues.
1)Will I need to leave my computer on day and night in order to host my website?
2)If so, how bad will my electric bill look at the end of every month?
3)Can I host a website/forum with Time Warner Cable?(already checked with them they said they didn't know)
4)Has anybody ever been successful hosting with Time Warner Cable?
Thanks a bunch.

1. Yes.
2. Similar to how it would if you left your pc on overnight now.
3. Some ISP's require you to upgrade to a business plan if you turn your home pc into a server of sorts.
4. Not applicable to me.

Never, ever host with an ISP. You'll be sorry! (And you'll be overpaying.)
That saoi, this is "hosting with TW" but rather using a home internet connection to host the site. That too, is a terrible idea.|| Need a good host?

It'll just cost you some $5/month to get a shared hosting to host your forum. It would be much more less hassle than hosting it off your PC at home. I am sure of it.

No
Generally you're not going to want to host a web server from your home pc unless you're doing it just for testing and/or personal reasons.
You should really buy at least shared hosting. That way it's always online, no matter what you do with your home PC. You'll also have better protection from attackers, ensuring your home connection stays online.

I found 2 shared hosts
If it's going to be easier, then I'll go via a shared hosting site.
I found 2 so far:
h t t p : / / w w w . s t a b l e h o s t . c o m / s h a r e d - h o s t i n g . p h p
h t t p : / / a s m a l l o r a n g e . c o m / h o s t i n g / s h a r e d /
Sorry for the unnecessary spaces, but I cannot link to an external website until I have reached 5 posts. I've been through worse.
Are any of these credible?(if you can even get to them)
Can I upload my entire forum to these shared hosting servers? Or will I have to recreate the entire thing there? I want to make sure I'm not going to get ripped off before choosing a site.
I have heard of a website called "No IP" which allegedly hosts your site so you don't need to use your IP address. Is this a shared hosting server? If so, is it reliable?
My personal blogging website is on weebly and over there you can only build one with their editor. You cannot upload that I know of. So, I'm new to this kind of web hosting.Last edited by IanHulett; 06-30-2014 at 11:30 PM.

I've used both, and I can say you won't regret going with Stablehost
Most likely yes, but just to be sure, what software are you using for your forum?
It's not a shared hosting service.
I'm not entirely sure if you can transfer Weebly-made sites to any other host... as far as I know you can't. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

ASmallOrange is an EIG brand, so I'd steer clear.
Stablehost, however, is excellent.|| Need a good host?

I'm coding with ConTEXT. According to Google Chrome, it's coming out nicely. I haven't previewed in other browsers yet but it's on my to-do list. I use Blender and Photoshop clones such as Paint.NET for graphics. I'm not sure what to use for databases though, or if I'll even need to use anything since I'm going to use a shared host.
I'll go with StableHost then.
Also, what does EIG mean? This is the first time I've heard or read those initials.

What happens when your neighbor cuts your cable line or another company does? 2 or 3 days of downtime. Also, your "upload speed" will be the max speed your server can handle. 2 or 3 Mpbs maybe 4 or 5 if you are lucky.
Been there, got the shirt, won't do that again. If just starting off get a low cost VPS or a reseller plan with a hosting company.Carolina Hosting Services

I'm currently downloading PHP. The issue is,
I'm currently downloading PHP. The issue is that I have IIS6 but my computer is Windows 7. Which PHP should I get? Do I need the one for my IIS, or one for my windows 7 computer?
One more issue. The people who sell MySQL are insane in the membrane. My income isn't between $2,000 to $60,000 dollars. I cannot afford their software. Is there a reliable LEGAL alternative? If not, can I use PHPMyAdmin for my databases? Or is that strictly for PHP?Last edited by IanHulett; 07-01-2014 at 01:47 PM.

MySQL Community Download
YES, they are Insane.... But that's besides the point. You don't need to "Buy" a 'Commercial Grade' MySQL license. Just download the community builds. http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/

MySQL is available at no cost: http://www.mysql.com/products/community/
PHPMyAdmin is a PHP script that provides a GUI interface for managing MySQL DBs.
