Welcome to Big Boards. Big Boards at one time offered the Zathyus network our long famous Resource Archives, our extensive search indexes, and our info-packed resource forums. Eventually, these were made redundant by upgrades to the documentations and expanded search features added to the ZetaBoards software, and this forum then lost relevancy and subsequently became inactive.

Our team then embarked on a new project called Planet Nexus, where a bold new experiment in forum promotion is taking place. We call it nexworking. NexusTree offers social networking pages for forums in a fully automated format. Your NexusTree page is created instantly when your join the nexus. Find out more by visiting Planet Nexus, and become part of the nexworking revolution.

Well,I'm currently working on getting Chaotic Collisions very own website set up with templates,links,..the whole nine yards but I've came across a little problem.

I can't find any real good web host to host my website on as it will eventually become the front page of my forum.

So I'm asking this towards everyone,if you know of any really good free web hosting and paid web hosting please reply back in here with the links and let me know whats your own opinion on why you choose them. :)

Thanks for your time,and I hope to see a good amount of reply's. :tongue:

I'm using justhost and don't have any major complaints. It's a paid site. There is a lot of templates and they are customizable. Lots of add ons as well but I didn't use too many. I used the support feature several times and found that they always got back to me within 12 hours or so

Why not use your ZB board to host your web page? You can build it on the webpage maker and set it via the ACP to be the front page of your forum.

I'm considering doing that with one of my sites.....anybody know of any downside to doing it that way?

Because there's not alot I can do by using the Zb webpages as my "actual website" page. =/

It does allow you to do alot and gives you some space to do it with but from what I've heard from a good bit of people who own a website with their forum the Zb web page maker has alot of restrictions of how far you can go with your website.=/

I can't prove this myself,as it was told to me,(LOL) I already know some of this stuff as I've asked these questions myself..heres a quote from codes rock when I asked about hosting/creating my website into a Zb webpage maker.

Quote:
 
If you put it in the website maker of the ZB admin CP, it will be inside the ZetaBoard wrapper. Meaning it will have the logo and footer of the forum.

There isn't really anyway for you to use it strictly as your entry page, without it being a page. Makes sense?


Basically it has more restrictions of your capabilities to the extent of what you can do..so I'd rather not do it that way.I'd find it easier just to get a free hosting or a paid hosting site to host my graphical web template and the pages within it.^_^

For wissaboo,that paid hosting site is extremely cheap,but is it pretty reliable (meaning the server doesn't have alot of downtime)?

Other than that your hosting site looks great,about everything is unlimited for web space and they have 24/7 help service o.o I might end up going with that one.From what i see it looks great so thanks for posting that up Wissaboo. :)

I would think there would be a way to suppress the frame of the forum on a web page. But maybe I'm wrong about that. In that case, you might check out these two:

A Small Orange which is a site recommended to me by HolySavior.

And Fat Cow a site which offers a good value and has good support reviews

Actually there is a way around it.The only 2 things which will remain are the Google Ads and the hosted for free by Zetaboards.
We're open.......

ah right...the Google ads.....I didn't think about those. That could be a deal breaker.

I havn't noticed it go down for more than a couple minutes since I signed up. And just a warning, that rate is only if you pay way in advance. The further you pay the cheaper it is.

Why is it so?

The best hosts I've found are HostGator and Site 5, for paid hosting. UnlimitedMB.com worked fairly well for me, though slayer766 doesn't like it (if I remember correctly). A friend used Site5, and they were fairly good for him. I've used HostMaven before, though I feel like they are a little pricey. Of all of these, I'd say Site5 is your best bet.
