Web Dev Questions That Don't Need Their Own Thread v4

[supersnail11]

[QUOTE=AndrewPH;44504874]I would agree if they were one of those dime-a-dozen TCadmin hosts, but they aren't. They put a lot of effort into their services.

For example, their custom gameserver control panel Xylona.[/QUOTE]

But we're talking about web hosting, not game hosting. Their needs are very different and so are the clients.

Elaborate on how an unmanaged VPS from a GSP is any different from an unmanaged VPS from anywhere else. I'm not quite sure I understand your view.

If you buy a VPS from a good VPS host, you're going to get all the VPS hosting expertise that comes with it - they know how to setup and run a VPS, and they can do it well. If you buy a VPS from a GSP, you're going to get all their GSP hosting experience applied to VPSes, even though you can't do that.

[Maqtiah]

[QUOTE=rilez;44503824]Yeah, was looking at different VPS providers. Anyone here use Linode? That was the one I was most interested in. Would appreciate suggestions though.

I like that I can choose my distro & they have a management app for mobile phones.[/QUOTE]

Ah. Like GSPs who decide "hey, vpss are a good source of munny, openvz makes vpss right? time to look at a tutorial!!"?

[Coment]

I've had great experiences with RamNode. Good prices, friendly support, and good uptime. Plus I've never had any problems with them, aside from the rare unexpected downtime.

made by an FPer

pretty good

[rilez]

I like the look of both of those. Who runs Afterburst?

[Ac!dL3ak]

I think Fizzdar

Just as a side note, Afterburst uses OpenVZ visualization, and Digital Ocean uses KVM. Arch Linux has known issues with OpenVZ.

[Alternative Acc]

I would really avoid using Arch Linux as a distribution for a web server.

[rilez]

We are using Arch for production, so its easier to keep everything the same. It's plenty for the size of our project. DigitalOcean seems perfect for us.

[a7y]

[url]http://ramnode.com[/url] is also run by a Facepuncher fyi.

Also I would not _ever_ recommend using Arch as a production web server. It is the best damned distro for desktops, but Arch would be my last choice for a production server. The two biggest reasons for this are its forte. Being rolling release and having bleeding edge packages.

I seriously suggest using Debian (derivatives included) or CentOS.

[01271]

CentOS is the best simply because of its reputation as a webserver which makes everyone write their webserver tutorials while using a CentOS machine.

[QUOTE=AndrewPH;44503713]MariaDB is to MySQL like Nginx is like Apache.
[/QUOTE]

Also just thought I'd clear this up. (No offense to you, AndrewPH, just wanting to get the correct information out there)

That comparison is not correct in the slightest. MariaDB is a [i]drop-in[/i] replacement for MySQL. This means that you can 98% of the time freely switch between the two data stores without touching a line of code.

This is obviously not the case with Apache and Nginx. If you want to switch you'll have to deal with migrating configurations and rewriting any dependent code.

New question that does not need a separate thread:

Should I learn Ruby I'm already ok with php and JS? Like I find the higher level stuff hard, so would this maybe pay off when doing more advanced stuff?

[djjkxbox360]

Yeah it's popular, so it'll be a benefit to know it

JS-Less Tabs

[url]http://jsfiddle.net/LQRyr/[/url]

Looking to remove

 <div class='.content'>

and replace it in CSS with

section *:not(label):not(input) 

at which point it fucks up.
[url]http://jsfiddle.net/bD44F/1/[/url]

That is the main issue, I also wish to be able to move the <label> or have links in a navbar elsewhere in the code/site which will switch the content for me. But I think this is another can of worms

Is this possible?

you need the .content or some sort of element surrounding your content.

[QUOTE=lkymky;44510934]Is this possible?[/QUOTE]

I had to run your CSS through an unminifier to make it readable.

Updated here [url]http://jsfiddle.net/LQRyr/4/[/url] if anyone wants to look at it.

I don't think you're going to be able to switch the tab inside the content field without JavaScript, if it is possible it would use anchors.

Soo I'm pretty competent in coding HTML and CSS now and I need to learn PHP for work.. what would be the best way to do this? some guy is going to lend me a book he used to learn it (in a few weeks), Is there something I could do project wise at home? from say code taught to me by code academy?

Our website uses magento and as far as I'm aware it just uses the above.. HTML, CSS, PHP and has a MySQL database.

[a7y]

Magento's code is absolute shit. Just fyi.

[QUOTE=jetboy;44511268]Magento's code is absolute shit. Just fyi.[/QUOTE]

I know, I don't do any coding on there personally but the IT guy we use is saying I should learn PHP. I only use the backend of the website through a GUI and updating products etc is slow as fuck.

Use codecademy, it's great because it's interactive so you'll learn a lot from it

Is there like stuff I can do to combine css, html and php?

[djjkxbox360]

[QUOTE=xianlee;44511350]Is there like stuff I can do to combine css, html and php?[/QUOTE]

Well CSS and HTML are already combined, you could try creating some PHP functions and place the output in the HTML. If you want run PHP on your computer, you will need a local web server, I use XAMPP for this
