Website help

[BarelyBreathing]

I'm trying to change the layout of my website to make it new, improved, bigger, better, and updated. (Are those enough adjectives for you?) Anyway, I use 1and1.com for my website. First question is, is anybody familiar with that? Second question is, I want to change my image gallery from the slide show I am using now into thumb nails that when clicked can be enlarged. HELP!!!!

[infernalis]

I dumped one&one, used to have them years ago, and I had to fight with them to take my own site names with me.

would this style gallery work for you?

That's pretty much exacty what I want, except when you click on the thumb nail, instead of opening up a new window or loading a new page, I want it to just pop up larger in the same window. Am I explaining that well enough?

[infernalis]

gimme a minute, I have to switch machines...

[BarelyBreathing]

I called them. It turns out I can't do that. Nor can I update my page until I download Firefox, but my computer says the Firefox download is corrupt. FML.

[BarelyBreathing]

Okay, there's an option to add my own code. Can I do it that way?

I forgot some, but I have 19 sites running on this place, and I am very happy with them.

Gosh, Wayne, how do you have time for anything?

Once a site is up and running, I just pay the renewals and that's that.

My rocky roost sites have been online for almost a decade, I have only changed the layout 3 times since I started them.

all are mirror images of the original, so there was no work involved aside from uploading the code to the server folders.

[BarelyBreathing]

This whole situation is stressing me out. Does that website host thing allow for what I'm talking about? Will I be able to carry my layout over?

[infernalis]

yes, yes, yes......

[BarelyBreathing]

Hooray! Thanks for your help.

I use the same hosting site as Wayne does for my ball python website and I'm super super happy with it :D

[BarelyBreathing]

So I kind of sort of got it somewhat closer to what I wanted, but it still looks like crap.

Same here :p

Don't remember why I left though.
Think I just didn't like the service.



Hmm... *looks up infernalis' hosting provider*
Dollar less per month then my current host is with what looks like the same offerings.
Whats the transfer speed like? My current host limits transfer to 2mb/sec per hosting account.

OK, I use godaddy as my registration, my nameservers are on Bluedomino.

Aweful for forums unless you pay for a dedicated server.

for general site hosting they are brilliant, but forums run really slow on the public servers, and get a lot of database errors. (unless you pay for a dedicated server)

[zaroba]

Use godaddy as well. Great company.

I use Bluehost currently. 3 active sites and 6 partially made or gave up on. Can't say I've had any sql database issues using them in the few times I set up small forums. Very good quality host. Been with them for 5 and a half years now.

Erp. I have my domain with them, but was planning to do a search anyway when I finally launch the website.
