first you need to be sure of what platform you want to use. is it a business website, personal blog you want or a forum. blog is easier to maintain and run than a forum. so you have to be sure which platform you want to use.

as for intellectual property, when it comes to online, you have to expect the unexpected especially when it comes to blogging and sharing information because you will have others copying your contents if it is of interest to the public.

lastly, you can run any of them without knowledge of web design or programming provided they used content management system to setup the site for you.

Please my website has been suspended after it received a dmca take down notice. What is the best hosting company for a music blog?

get a vps hosting that is DMC ignored.

you will end up getting your account blocked by admob. there is no short cut to this, you have to promote the app to get engagement

Viralmagg:

• Both Involves curating contents either Video or text except in a case (for copy and paste bloggers)
• Admob Vs Adsense Approval = Admob on mobile is easier to approve . admob , start app, app next , appcolony ... has easier approval than most blog monetization platform.

• you can always redeploy any changes threatening bug whilst retaining Daily Active Users (DAU) and the App contents
chief you sound as if I make this post for competition comparison? it a post for blogging alternative for those who blogging doesn't work for.

not a bad alternative at all. one just need to try these alternatives.

I am gradually shifting my focus on trying mobile apps. there is no harm in testing the waters.

so what are the list of app ideas you will suggest to go for that drives user engagement's

aronski:
I want to host a project of mine online and this is my first time. Am budgeting NGN200K+ for domains and cloud hosting so I will like you to tell me about things am to pay for, if yearly, advance or more. And things that I don't have to pay for yearly or advance.
This is because I keep asking myself a question whether I have to be paying for my cloud hosting plan yearly or once...
Anyway, Pls put me through.

first your traffic will determine the type of hosting you will go for else you will be wasting money on unused resources.

cloud hosting should be an option if your site has heavy traffic.

normal vps can serve you for a start. there are some cheaper vps server that can serve you until the site started gaining momentum.

you may have to reset it from phpmyadmin database as suggested by someone on the post.

they don't accept any kind of card. try use africard or dollar dominated card

Omar09:
I just installed elementor pro plugin through my cpanel, but when I visit my website as an admin, I can't see the elementor plugin to even use it. What could be the problem, and how can I rectify it?

the reason why you did not see it is because you probably only installed pro version. you are suppose to install the free version from WordPress plugin repository . then you install pro version for it to work.

so try and install the free version from WordPress plugin repo.

I will also advice you install elementor extra pro plugin too and install.

from what I can perceive here is probably mistaken offer. someone said he needs mturk but due to the way it was presented, the seller sold mturk which is not yet approved. the buyer needs mturk that is approved . so this is why the issue arises.

to fix this, the seller should refund the buyer so the case will be over. that is the only option for now else this will be perceived as scam

if you are running a serious blog or website, then will advice you not to go for Nigerian host because it will be dead on arrival. don't even think of using most of those host being advertised here on nairaland, especially those calling them self DMC ignored hosting because you will have yourself to blame.

Nigerian host should be used for practicing web design and development or running demo script . not for running serious sites with traffic . they will frustrate you.

Omar09:
I don't want blue host or hostgator or hostinger or even namecheap. Plus I want a hosting where I can upload my own plugin. Because I bought an elementor plugin I want to use on my website.

uploading any plugin should not be an issue with most hosting providers be it foreign or local except you bought managed WordPress hosting.

as for cheap hosting, what is your definition of cheap because in Nigeria, there are lots of cheap hosting that goes for #500 per month.

don't be deceived. within 24hours you get paid with 100% interest. most of them are planned scheme by members . they are all working together.

they might pay you today, tomorrow to gain your trust and when you invest big time, they disappear into thin air and create another group and add those old members to new one to continue the journey. robbing Peter to pay Paul. be wise. the website they gave you is not even an active domain, its free hosted platform they used.

coding gives you more advantage to unlimited features . so learning coding if you want to go full stack is necessary

Genes1s:
I am building an online Ebook website.

Here is what I want.
Customer shops different books on website, After that, they pay, then they get the required file link to download.

What I am confused about is the best way to give the book download link for each purchased book to the buyer, and this download link won't be reusable by another customer aside the intended buyer.

Please how can I achieve this? A simple algorithm will do.

Thanks

you can get this done with either woocommerce or easy digital download plugins together with membership plugins

MountainView:
I still dey wait abeg!

I don't have this but I have something that does the job of scrapping groups members and adding them to your own group. I modified a Python script for this. and it does the job perfectly. so if this is the task you want go carry out, then you can get in touch for this

not bad at all. keep it up.

to start a music download site without having issues with DMC and slow site when traffic started pumping in.

here is what you need. a DMCA ignored vps hosting, a good simple theme that is not heavy, your strategy to drive traffic to the site. your plan for monetisation.

why I stated vps is because you will thank yourself for optin for it from the start because moving from hosting to the other when artiste started slamming you with copyright which your hosting might suspend your account or when you started getting traffic to the site, shared hosting will not give you the speed you would want because the site speed will be very slow and your hosting provider might suspend it.

there are sites that sell cheap vps which can serve you for this purpose for a start.

also, don't ever make the mistake of using a Nigerian hosting provider or your local country hosting provider if the site has heavy traffic else you will have yourself to be blamed.

you are doing well. keep it up

I running the latest wordpress... I have deleted all plug ins and left with the default theme.....

One thing i observe on my cpanel under the statistics. CPU usage is showing 100% usage, that's my i will receive INTERNAL SERVICE ERROR. When the usage drop to at least 97% the site will start loading and at snail speed

some stuffs are running in the background .

once your site started hitting CPU usage of 100% and inode number processes 100%, then you need to switch else the site will keep having 503 server error.

Offpoint:
Good day webmasters, I am having some serious issues with my wordpress site. It takes forever to load a page and I keep receiving INTERNAL SERVER ERROR.
To load my dashboard is serious headache, it could take 5 minutes. I have disable all plug ins and switch to default theme, still no single improvement.

I Used Nigeria hosting and bought the highest plan they have, which is almost 25k.

Please can anyone suggest what could be the problem?
After trying everything possible and not seeing solution, I am beginning to suspect the problem lies with my hosting company

haha. the same issue I had with one of my site with a Nigerian host. don't bother patronizing all this Nigerian host that is advertising their packages on nairaland, even the ones that will sweet talk you on this thread they will all fail you.

that is how one of them which I don't want to mentioned their name suspended the site because of CPU usage. they were suggesting vps plan which roughly would cost me 160k per year to run the site.

I had to run because it was obvious they were taking advantage thinking I was a novice in stuffs like this.

so I ported to expensive foreign shared hosting thinking it will fix the issue but still same and even worse.

I had no choice than to opt for vps which I saw a huge difference between shared host and vps. it was all clear.

the site that is taking forever to display WordPress dashboard become so fast that I had to give up on shared hosting, whether Nigerian or foreign, don't use shared hosting on blogs with traffic going to 1k and above especially Nigerian hosting as they will put you together with 1 million users on one server which causes problem on your site because other website is using the resources with you.

so instead of you to share 4 GB ram vps server with 1 million users, why not use all those ram for your site with vps. trust me you will see the difference is clear.

although there are some steps I took to migrate the site to vps which also made some changes to the performance because I noticed some stuffs were running in the background which was from the formal host. so I had to just import the database and images and did some tweaking.

wandetooblack:



Bro,is it possible to link a VCC to a foreign name Lethoso PayPal acct?
The name is just a random name. I don't even have doc to back it up

you can link vcc to any PayPal with any name. that is how I have been using it. it doesnt have to bear your name since its vcc

maaji:
Hi nairalanders. Guys be careful i created a thread that i needed a maxbounty account. A chatted and we decided on 2k. After sending the money he blocked me on whatsapp and the number is not going through. Please i want anyone that knows he can block the persons account should do that for me before he scams another person . Thanks

at least you can state his details such as account number, name, phone number so others can avoid getting scammed by same person when they search him on the internet.

Catalyst4real:

Men you up here spreading negative vibes, chill abeg!

being realistic is now negative vibes. so would you advice someone to buy expensive Skype number for prolific as it is now?

Ayo199:

Who be dis?
I guess your account has stopped getting survey

you just dont get my point. the whole prolific thing is already casted doesn't necessary mean survey has stopped. read in between the lines. lots of people are still getting surveys but the prolific registration and approval process of yesterday is not same again. what does that tells you, it means prolific team has upgraded security measures tackle fake accounts being created with VPN which was not so serious before now.

wandetooblack:


I used Turbo+ PHX browser. It's doesn't work

I will download Thunder VPN + Kiwi now. Hopefully e go work.

Funny thing is I never thought this thing would give me much problem. Dude I have a premium protonVPN! That's shut disconnect like crazy.

Has anyone tried Skype Number to verify prolific before? I have one and I don't know if it would work yet cuz all my account so far is on hold.

Thanks man

its not worth it. subscribing to expensive Skype number for prolific is not really worth the effort because PayPal is still another dare devil to worry about.

wandetooblack:
I swear to God.

This is the 12th account on prolific.

Everything on hold!!

Jesus. Who I offend!!!!!!!

you did not offend anyone. the thing is already casted. so only few are getting lucky. but the major thing they have to worry about is even PayPal, not prolific. PayPal is just waiting for some people to cash out to the payoal account and then slam them
