Re: FIRST Kickoff Countdown Timer
 

Very nice! Soon as I get this stupid site to work, I'll post it on our homepage.

Re: FIRST Kickoff Countdown Timer
 

That's a nice looking website you got there ;)

Re: FIRST Kickoff Countdown Timer
 

thanks....its sorta a temporary one till we get more information and decide on a final layout. (we dont have a logo yet and no official website meetings)

Re: FIRST Kickoff Countdown Timer
 

I see you're using 1and1.com for hosting. How's it turning out, and which package do you have?

Re: FIRST Kickoff Countdown Timer
 

yes we do have 1and1 the package we uses is the business linux hosting package and its great. i currently maintain 3 sites that are all hosted on separate business linux hosting packages:

• The Green Team 885
• the iBots 2370
• and my personal site Home of the Geek

the only thing that i dont like is that the server upload speed is ot the greatest.. ~80kBs is the max i ever got and that was on a very high speed college campus in the middle of the summer at a camp i went to

i have also made 2 sites for clients that are hosted on the beginners linux package and it woks fine.

last thing. the bandwidth you get with the business package is huge 2.5 terabytes per month and 250 gb of storage. its great i use like 3% tops on my personal site and i have an online music library for myself on there where i stream music from.

i ahve sent this to pretty much every first member i know and it is on everything i can put it on... thanks a lot
oh and your website does look very nice

Re: FIRST Kickoff Countdown Timer
 

I went all out and bought the Linux Developer package. I have to agree that upload speeds are ridiculously slow, but there's not much one can do about that.

One thing I have an unrelated question, though. Does anyone know any PHP coding? Specifically, integrating the MySQL user tables between PHP-Fusion and IPB, or any other CMS and IPB. I'm not good at creating a site from scratch, even though that's probably my best bet. I've found a package on a couple sites which supposedly does this, but I always get the same error. You can try registering here, then log in from the side panel.
