In the event that you no fine, what's your refund policy? Any uptime guarantee? Can I ping your "server" by 3 am and get a response? What's your maximum timeout per session?

I'm just a concerned business man interested in doing business with you.  cool
WebmastersRe: Fireworks Vs Photoshop by DualCore1: 12:47pm On Jan 24, 2012
Let's go back to the manual and see what these applications were built for:

Fireworks was made to build and export web graphics in an elegant way. Following the popularity of mobile devices like the Apple iPhone it is now often used to mock up and design user interfaces for apps.

You can guess what Photoshop was made for. Correct, [b]Photo[/b]shop was primarily built to correct and manipulate photography. While Photoshop offers many ways to manipulate photos, it has a lot of built in features that can be used for web/interface design. You can use Photoshop to produce screen graphics but also for advanced print stuff.

Photoshop was built for major graphics editing.
Fireworks was built for web graphics.

I find FW very easy to use for web graphics. PS na long thing. If you want to invest time learning, could try Photoshop. You cannot master FW and walk into PS and expect to use your FW mastery. You can however master PS and enter into FW with your PS mastery.

WebmastersRe: Whats Wrong With Some Nigerian Web Hosting Company by DualCore1: 3:50pm On Jan 21, 2012
The problem is simple and not a Nigerian thing.
Its inexperience on the part of the host service providers and the clients.

Servers are machines but really with the present stage we are at with technology it will take a considerable amount of time between server crashes as a result of faults. Most of the downtimes or problems you experience with your hosting provider may not originate from the datacenters. Most are as basic as an inexperienced support techie with happy fingers, rattling server configs until something blows up. Linux commands do not really have "Undo" so if you brick a server there is not "reset" button.

Again, most service providers in Nigeria are somewhere around the middle of the service chain and have to pay some major money to get reseller rights. Since they do not have direct access to the upstream provider, their failure to pay their monthly lease fees. . . for any reason (sane or insane) will mean a suspension of their account. . . there is no abeg in the matter, ofcourse such suspension will affect the downstream customers.

Another problem is support, sadly its zero here. You can't expect to receive technical support and I am yet to see a webhosting company (that I am not linked to) in Nigeria with 24/7 online chat in the true sense of the word.

This forum is another problem, in a bid to make money from resellers we make people believe all that is needed to be a webhost it to get a 500 Naira/Month reseller account and keep creating accounts from it for people. Infact that's so big a deception that I don't know how to start hitting it down.

Now the customers. . . we hardly know what we pay for. We don't know what a service level agreement is, we do not know what an uptime guarantee is.

Take for instance your customers saying they cannot afford to be down for even 5 hours.

Lets assume you are on a host who has on its site (as usual) "99% uptime guaranteed"
99% uptime means that you are guaranteed your site will be online for 365 days in a year less 87 hours and 36 minutes.

Therefore if I offer you a hosting package with 99% uptime, within a period of one year from the start of your contract I am in my right to pull the plug on your site for 87 hours and 36 minutes. . . take me to any court and you will waste money because you will pay me for time wasting. . . when I should be at working pulling other plugs you are wasting my time in court for what I rightly mine. . . grin

So those you customers saying they can't afford to be off for 5 hours. . . kindly tell them that they have already signed that they can be off for 87 hours per year, assuming you are running the site on a host with 99% uptime guarantee. See the list below for the other uptimes and how long they can be down (in their right) per year.

90% 876 hours
95% 438 hours
99% 87 hours, 36 minutes
99.9% 8 hours, 45 minutes, 36 seconds
99.99% 52 minutes, 33.6 seconds
99.999% 5 minutes, 15.36 seconds
99.9999% 31.68 seconds


Again. . . customers do not know what constitutes an uptime. Read your host's Terms of Service very well to know what is covered in their uptime guarantee.

8.) Bandwidth Usage
You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account pass the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused transfer in one month cannot be carried over to the next month.
Will kill you in:
Examples of unacceptable material on all Shared and Reseller servers include:

Topsites
IRC Scripts/Bots
Proxy Scripts/Anonymizers
Pirated Software/Warez
Image Hosting Scripts (similar to Photobucket or Tinypic)
AutoSurf/PTC/PTS/PPC sites
IP Scanners
Bruteforce Programs/Scripts/Applications
Mail Bombers/Spam Scripts
Banner-Ad services (commercial banner ad rotation)
File Dump/Mirror Scripts (similar to rapidshare)
Commercial Audio Streaming (more than one or two streams)
Escrow/Bank Debentures
High-Yield Interest Programs (HYIP) or Related Sites
Investment Sites (FOREX, E-Gold Exchange, Second Life/Linden Exchange, Ponzi, MLM/Pyramid Scheme)
Sale of any controlled substance without prior proof of appropriate permit(s)
Prime Banks Programs
Lottery/Gambling Sites
MUDs/RPGs/PBBGs
Hacker focused sites/archives/programs
Sites promoting illegal activities
Forums and/or websites that distribute or link to warez/pirated/illegal content
Bank Debentures/Bank Debenture Trading Programs
Fraudulent Sites (Including, but not limited to sites listed at aa419.org & escrow-fraud.com)
Push button mail scripts
Broadcast or Streaming of Live Sporting Events (UFC, NASCAR, FIFA, NFL, MLB, NBA, WWE, WWF, etc)
Tell A Friend Scripts



7a.) Resource Usage

User may not:
1) Use 25% or more of system resources for longer then 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.
2) Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.
3) Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.
4) Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
5) Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers.
6) Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities
7) Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc
cool Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes.
9) Run any MySQL queries longer than 15 seconds. MySQL tables should be indexed appropriately.
10) When using PHP include functions for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. Instead of include("http://yourdomain.com/include.php") use include("include.php"wink
11) To help reduce usage, do not force html to handle server-side code (like php and shtml).
12) Only use https protocol when necessary; encrypting and decrypting communications is noticeably more CPU-intensive than unencrypted communications.
Those are all excerpts from http://www.hostgator.com/tos/tos.php

Its not a rule.
WebmastersRe: Make My Site Url Display "index.php?action=about-us by DualCore1: 6:36am On Jan 15, 2012
I have used this method on a couple of sites I created last year:
top12game.com
onsoro.com

The idea is to have single index page and have php include necessary files based on the GET variable in the url

So if you have a set of navigation buttons

<ul>
<li><a href = "?action=home">Home</a></li>
<li><a href = "?action=about">About</a></li>
</ul>


in the content area of your index page you have to use a discision construct to get the GET variable and know what page to include. . . I prefer if/elseif/else

<div>
<?php
if($_GET['action']=="home"wink{include("pages/home.php"wink;} //if home is clicked include the home.php in pages directory
elseif($_GET['action']=="about"wink{include("pages/about.php"wink;} //if about is clicked include the about.php in pages directory
else{include("pages/home.php"wink;} // if nothing or something wrong is tried to be injected, goto homepage
?>
</div>

This is used in other situations on the site, not just the navs. The form actions too.
WebmastersRe: How Can I Withdraw Paypal Funds To Nigeria by DualCore1: 4:46pm On Jan 14, 2012
naijacutee:
I have a Paypal account, and I can withdraw the funds for you and send to your bank account in Nigeria in 48 hours for 10% of the transaction value. All I need to know is that your funds are legitimate and your account is genuine. My e-mail address is on my profile if you're interested.
How would you know if the funds are legitimate? By him telling you yes they are?

In the event that he opens a dispute after receiving the funds in his bank account, what will you use to fight your case?

WebmastersRe: 2 Whiz Web Developer Wanted For 3 Months Contract Job. by DualCore1: 4:17pm On Jan 11, 2012
HTTPHP:
@ Dual core, thanks a lot for that insight, I would do that right away but I would be hoping to get a developer who stays in the country. My shortcoming with freelancer.com is most of their gurus are europeans and I don't think I can monitor or trust a developer from outside the continent.

Thanks.l
Freelancer has a tool you can use to monitor people. I have a fulltime job as a php developer from freelancer and I work 5am-2pm daily. I don't use the tool but I send daily reports to the employer.

Its possible for you to get other people like that there. Monthly salary for that kind of job there is minimum of 1,500 usd and max of 3,000 usd per month. (9 hours a day, 6 days a week).


Why I recommend freelancer.com is because serious developers there do not play with their employer reviews so the try as much as possible to deliver. Also, there is the escrow system so if a developer doesn't work well you don't pay.



I don't think you'll get anyone from here that is good and has time for this (most people who say they are developers are content with the average Nigerian employer request which is to build a 5-page site or a CMS company brochure site. . . or a bulk sms site or a wedding site. No avenue to learn anything new and this is annoyingly pathetic).

If you insist on getting a Nigerian, try the Nairaland user Ogzille (bestvalueproviders.com). He's good and I haven't seen him run away from any project.

Try *dhtml also. He is the best coder I have seen here but he doesnt even have all the time time for his bandwidth sapping .net and your site may end up shouting "Caramba! Login Invalido Senorita".
WebmastersRe: 2 Whiz Web Developer Wanted For 3 Months Contract Job. by DualCore1: 12:19pm On Jan 11, 2012
Post your projects on freelancer.com and screen the bidders well before choosing the right person for the job. Knock off the duration thing as this isn't a build and go project. The different applications you want to come up with require a fulltime employment.
