Does anyone have any suggestions for me on how to build a website forum on windows servers from godaddy?
Posted on Feb 27, 2009 under GoDaddy.com | 49 CommentsI just joined godaddy to start a website and I chose to use windows servers since I run Vista on my local computer and dont know much about linux anyways. Well, I wanted to create a forum using phpbb since I heard it was the easiest and best solution for free forums and I found out that godaddy windows servers dont support php, only the linux servers do. Yeah, so are there any suggestions? ASP looks and sounds way difficult for me to do. Can I switch to godaddys linux servers even though I dont even have a linux system? Or should I just transfer my domain to a better hosting website where they have windows servers that actually support php. I really wish I knew this before I purchased it, but since Im already this far into it, I really just want to get stuff done and move on to the next step.
Thanks for any help!

Dear friend, you have made a big mistake about choosing Windows based server! I'm sure you are a beginner and have not consulted with someone about this issue!
All websites today currently run on either a Windows web server or a Linux-based server. The vast majority of websites run on a Linux-based platform as Linux has a strong reputation for security and web server performance. With standard (static) HTML-based websites, the web hosting platform doesn't make much difference. When it does make a difference, however, is when the website uses a dynamic scripting technology such as ASP (A Microsoft based technology), or PHP / PERL (Linux based technologies). A Windows-based hosting solution will run a Microsoft Windows server with IIS (Internet Information Server), and is necessary to run an ASP / ASP.NET scripted website. A Linux-based platform is typically used for PHP, Perl, and most other types of websites. Basically, unless your website uses ASP (pages ending in the .asp extention), Windows hosting is not neccessary.
Itdoesn't matter if you use Windows, Macintosh or Linux as the operating system on your computer. Linux web hosting is compatible with all.
I recommend you take adventage 30-day money back to refund your money. Of course they don't return your money for your registered domain that it is not very impoertant (just $1.99 !!). Then you can rechoose your hosting service and change it to Linux.

****************************
According to my experience, godaddy is not a user-friendly service. So I recommend after refunding change your web host to one of the Easy-To-Use ones. You can transfer your current domain to a new web hosting or get a free domain from them. Some hosting services offer this gift today.
As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them. They also provide Forum tools including phpbb2 and vbulletin.

VATICAN BIG APPLE (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI called Saturday on politicians, the media and time leaders to portray more respect object of person life at its earliest stages, saying embryos aren’t honest biological mundane but energetic, autonomous individuals.
Benedict made the comments during a vespers employment to mark the beginning of Advent, the period important up to Christmas when the perfect importance the descent of Christ. This year, the Vatican urged bishops all over the society to create the advantage a vigil in regard to “nascent human life.”
The amenities came amid continued fallout from the pope’s remarks concerning condoms and HIV contained in a book-length interview published this week.
While stressing that condoms aren’t a legitimate or moral solution to fighting HIV, Benedict said people who object them are edging toward a greater moralness because they’re aiming to take care of their partners from HIV — even when a pregnancy is possible.
His comments set eccentric perfervid controversy magnitude theologians and ballade Catholics like one another surrounded by jumble take what he meant and whether he was changing church teaching back phony contraception. He was not, but the hotchpotch all the same required not equal but two papally approved clarifications from the Vatican spokesman.
As if to reaffirm church teaching on the sacredness of kind-hearted life, Benedict stressed the deprivation to foster good-natured effervescence from the concern of inkling in his homily Saturday.
Science itself has shown how autonomous the embryo is, how it interacts with the female parent and develops in a coordinated and complex way, Benedict said.
“It’s not an increase of biological stuff, but a untrodden living being, electric and marvelously ordered, a redone solitary of the human species,” Benedict said.
He urged politicians, productive leaders and the media to promote a culture that respected duration, decrying the “cultural tendencies” that quest after to undermine it.
“Unfortunately, even after [url=http://www.comiezatunegocio.com/]Free cleps[/url] parentage the life of children continue to be exposed to abandonment, hunger, despondency, sickness, misapplication, ferocity and exploitation,” Benedict said.
