yep. I would also suggest you consider using a major ISP as the hosting site (#3). Mine is on Yahoo for $15/month and I have NEVER had an availability problem. Nothing like having a dedicated staff watching the server farm 24/7 with backbone access. My site's been up and stable since 1994 and Yahoo has been the best choice I have had for Domain hosting. There's cheaper, but then it's all about the availability. Oh, and when you call up in the middle of the night to talk about circular routing table references or stale DNS entries, they understand or escalate to someone who does.
Sorry, no. That segment of my life is kept totally separate from my LJ life for various reasons. My identity being traced to here would lose me the relative calm of being anonymous here. It would destroy my ability to "be normal" here. In reality, it would kill my LJ usage.
But then again, I don't use anything fancy, I've been a net presence since the early 1990s and my website is perfectly viewable under the old Lynx text browser which also translates very nicely to mobile phones I have found. No server side extentions. And with my security background, I don't do any commerce through it. It was always useful/viewable under a 14.4kbaud modem. But those are issues you'd never have to deal with today.
My point was that having a web hosting company with a large server farm near the backbone is something to consider if you want a high availability website. Back that up with mirror sites for failover and people can find you regardless.
Well, I don't really understand anything you just said, so I guess that means about all of it.
I can pay for hosting, depending on the costs. I don't know a thing about coding, though I like to think I am a fast learner. I guess that would depend on the level of complexity involved, and I'm not really in a position to judge that.
