Question by M.A.: Recommendations for best webhosting and ecommerce site for small business?
I’m helping a friend research a new webhost and ecommerce provider. Apparently, he’s not happy with his current one. (i don’t know the name of the site). I recommended Yahoo small business, but I’m open to other suggestions. We’re primarily looking at cost, reliability, ease of use. Any recommendations?

Answer by kemperk
no way; instead, hire a grad student in
IT at your local U and get him-her to
hook you up; excluding “answers” here,
yahoo is not the best place to associate with biz.

Question by gogetgeek: Best Web Hosting for Small Business and Multiple Domains?
Hello,

I know this has been asked before, but I’ve searched many web sites and reviews and I’m still confused. So, I’ve narrowed it down to Hostmonster, Bluehost, and Lunarpages. I’m a pretty technical guy, but I’m looking for a reliable web host for multiple domains that some will use databases. I’m not so concerned about a “simple” web site creator, as opposed to one that follows the HTML & CSS standards. I was going to go with 1&1 after seeing their huge ads in PC Magazine until I read the reviews. Thus, I’m not so concerned about cheap, just a service that is reliable, professional, and popular. In other words, what service would a developer recommend and use?

Thanks,
Brett
This is what concerns me: http://www2.jeffcroft.com/blog/2006/feb/27/11-internet-is-the-devil/.

And then I just happened to stumble across DreamHost: http://www.dreamhost.com/aboutus.html. They are employee-owned, which in and of itself impresses me about a company. Any customer reviews on this company?

Let me recommend 1and1.com and believe me you won’t regret. I’m a web designer and I’ve seen so many hosts that are really bad. 1and1 will give you a great package for .99 per month including 1 free domain name. They also give you up to 600 (!!!) email accounts and 10 databases in case you need them (included in the .99 per month).

Question by SexyPantsMan: How would you find the hostname for database access with yahoo Small Business Domain hosting?
I cannot find the database location for the website I am trying to put up. Whenever I try to do the mysqli_connect.php, it does not find the host. Is it www.thewebsite.com/phpMyAdmin or ftp.thewebsite.com or is it something different? If someone could direct me to where I could find the information on the database location using yahoo, then I would really appreciate it.

Answer by Megan
99% of the time the hostname is ‘localhost’ without the apostrophe’s.

For example:

Hostname: localhost
DB Name: user_dbname
DB User: user_dbuser
Password: yourpassword

Hope this helps.
