web-hosting

I have registered a domain in iPage.com. But recently i learnt that they are not allowing remote access to database. i am coding my webpage in php5 kohana framework, so when i use mysql_connect(hostname,username,password) function in PHP, it returns an error and cannot connect to database. Neither via SQLyog (which i use to access remote databases) i can connect. What can i do in my codes to create entries into my iPage database? Do i need any additional application or something? I am not sure but i think they dont allow ssh and html tunneling too. You can use HTTP-tunneling in SQLyog More

I have a question with security point of view, it might sound silly but i'm very interested to know. If someone uploads his code on shared hosting (assuming some general US based web hosting companies where it cost about $5 to 10$ a month), is it secure there? Would the other users hosted on same servers somehow access the code? (and of course the hosting administrators can access?) In that case is it really safe to host on shared hosting companies? This depends on how the individual web hosting company have setup there systems. You need to trust the company you are hosting with but any half

Has anyone ever tried sending emails using 1&1 smtp host? I tried the following? SmtpClient mailClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.1and1.com", 587); mailClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("admin@permias-tucson.com", "password"); But it always gives me a security exemption error... I tried it using my local host and it works fine.. I tried using gmail's smtp and it worked fine as well.. It says that I need to authenticate in order to use the smtp server, I did that by looking at the code above... Here's the exact error: Security Exception Description: The application attempted to perform an

i have added my project on free hosting 000webhost and my all files are listed in public_html/ directory. project is built in codeigniter. i have added htaccess file at public_html/.htaccess which contains Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L] but this does not working for me is there any issue in htaccess?

Where should put robots.txt? domainname.com/robots.txt or domainname/public_html/robots.txt I placed the file in domainname.com/robots.txt , but it's not opening when I type this in browser. alt text http://shup.com/Shup/358900/11056202047-My-Desktop.png Where the file goes in your filesystem depends on what host you're using, so it's hard for us to give a specific answer about that. The best description is: put it wherever the index.html (or index.php or whatever) file is that represents your homepage. If that's domainname/public_html/index.html , for example, put it in domainname/public_html

I registered on 000webhost and I can connect to mysql db pages that are uploaded there via: mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'pass') or die('Could not connect to database'); mysql_select_db('name') or die('Could not select database'); But it seems it does not allow connecting remotely . Is there any free host which has mysql db and allows remote connections ? try heliohost.org I used it sometime back and they got good service as well.The only problem is the registration get filled too quickly s4p3r_c1n0s 000webhost does not provide MySQL remote access for free accounts, have a look , so
