some place's that aren't afraid of linux. I'd appreciate it and would love to start getting this website up.
GoDaddy supplies Linux and MSWindows hosting on Shared Hosting
Servers and on Virtuozzo Virtual Private Servers, as well as on
Dedicated Servers. Support costs money, $50 per half-hour IIRC,
which is a reasonable rate. Their service appears to be on par
with where I have my personal web site, that is, low and requires
repetition. It was not adequate for our VPS needs (can't have
an iptables firewall), so we have looked elsewhere.
Currently we are exploring Xen Virtual Private Servers.
There are fewer Xen hosting providers than Virtuozzo providers, as
Virtuozzo is a complete turnkey solution for a hosting provider and
allows for much greater over-selling of servers than Xen does.
Google on "xen hosting providers". Costs are about
$20..$60 / month.
I don't actually know what you are trying to do for web
hosting. My personal web site was developed on MacOS 8.6 and is
hosted on Linux via Shared Hosting. The other web site I test
locally on Fedora Core 6 Linux, or on CentOS 4.4 running in Qemu
(which can be accessed remotely for testing). It is currently
hosted on a rather hosed Redhat 7.2 Linux hosted via Virtuozzo, and
is being moved to Xen hosting. I learned enough about HTML and
web hosting to get my personal web site up in just a couple of
months; it's taken over a year of learning Linux and several months
of intense work to be able to move the other web site.
