It's so interesting to read these posts. If they were organized, and editied they would make for a great little "What not to do Guide"
1. Allow my ex-host to access my Domain's account ( which hold medium amount of domains ) [ Lesson learnt, no matter how much you trust your host, get instructions on how to do things instead of asking them to do it ] 2. Create sites but never got the time to complete them ( Some of them )
Yes, another one is not having a computer when I did. I worked for an internet company and then I brought my computer and then I started learning how the internet works and how to design websites. If I had done that about 5 - 10 years earlier then I would have been up when Yahoo started up and probably would be one of their main competitors by now as I would have had the time to grow like they had. Also, another one is to use the free Yahoo web service. Once I done that I then trusted Yahoo and upgraded with a free domain to the cheapest account possible. I was on that for a year and a half and all my website was html. I couldn't use any other language like php, asp, mysql databases, etc as they didn't allow it. This mean't that I didn't bother learning the php or any other language as it were not needed to be known. I then read that other sites use these languages to operate their website automatically and things so I thought that after 1 and half years I will start to learn it. Because I was fluent in html at the time, php and some of the other languages, I picked up quickly and once I started to know what they could do, I thought that I had wasted a total 1 and half years being hosted with Yahoo and they kepted me back from growing because they didn't allow for that stuff to be used on my server. I was paying $8.99 per month (4gb bandwidth, 50mb diskspace) aswell and that was about 6 - 7 years ago. There were hosts cheaper than that then that offered much more so I went with another web hosting provider and went from their.
