I need local webhosting

hussam

where can I find reasonable webhosting in lebanon?
I found http://www.serverlebanon.com/ on google. but their plans are bad. This isn't the 1980s.

Aj_BlaZ

i don't know if its true or not but this is what you see when you open lebgeeks.com

LebGeeks is a network of lebanese-oriented web sites. We [b]host[/b] blogs, web sites, open source applications and other projects for free if they meet our criteria. »

anyway if i were you i wouldn't buy a local server if its gonna be a forum based anything other than that try samers offer

hussam

I'd rather have something paid. Plus Samer doesn't specify what his criteria is.

dunno i just wanna help cause your heading to the same goal of mine im going to make one soon but first im going to learn @ " new horizon " some courses to begin with

do you think your going to pay above 20$/month or less ? and why do you want it to be locally ? , i think its best to make your server outside of lebanon that way you don't get hacked of poor security if you know what i mean, and finally i think the best servers out there are from russia its not based on my experience i heard that from somewhere else

Noob question : are you going to use java based website or html 4.1 or 5.0 i really don't know whats the difference but i heard java is way much better etc

Java or do you mean Javascript?
HTML5 is really good, add CSS3 to it and it's great.

hussam

Definitely xhtml or html5 (for fancy stuff). I'd rather not assume people have a java plugin installed.
To be honest, html5 is amazing. It easy to port xhtml websites to html5 and additionally you get the new shiny html5 tags and features.

20 USD is fine but the package http://www.serverlebanon.com/ is offering is not worth 2 USD a month even by Lebanese standards.

I'd rather it was local because I could pay cash. If not local, I'll have to pay with PIC.
I'll look for something local for the moment. This isn't really urgent because the website is still in development.

I'm currently learning some PHP and JS and I have some people who can help if I get stuck.

He wants a local webhost – our server is based in the US.

The only people that offer hosting in Lebanon where the server is actually found here are the ISPs. Their plans are overpriced and generally not worth it unless you're an educational institution and you really need to have your data on a server you can physically control.

It actually depends on the project and how much I think it's worth it. Don't hesitate to drop me a line with some details :)
