We are always taking input from our customers.  It;s what HostNed is all about.

Increased limits?  Different pricing options?  Monthly specials?

If thre were one thing different you would like ot see in HostNed's hosting plans, what would it be? 

Hi,

Welcome to the forums.  Check to make sure there is no restriction from an .htaccess file.  Otherwise, make sure the html page or css is not referencing any files within a "protected directory".

HostNed allows you to override php.ini settings to your preference with an .htaccess file.  For example, if on a linux server, the global setting for register_globals is On and you have a script that recommends it be set to Off, here's how to change it:

1) In the http root of your web space, see if there is already a file there named ".htaccess".  If not, create one.
2) Edit the file and add the following line somewhere on it's own line.
php_flag register_globals off
3) Exit and save the file.

You have now set register_globals to off for your entire domain.  Easy!

Sure.  Count me in.  It sounds fun

Our affiliate DynaWeb Designs has released their SFEPS Form to Email Script.  It is very secure and easy to set up.  Give it a try and let us know how you like it.

That is great.  I can't recall how many times I have needed this when scripting PHP code.  Hey, does anyone know how to do this in CGI?

In Perl (CGI) the function is ucfirst(). 
Or you can just use CSS:

Code Select Expand

style="text-transform:capitalize;"
Gotta love the CSS cross-platform slam-trump

[ucwords]

I was working on http://www.wormportal.com and in the Regional section it includes content from MySQL database.  The city names are IN ALL CAPS and looks really bad when including that on the web page (not to mention Google hates that).  I found the way to Capitalize First Letter of Each Word Using PHP.

ucwords
(PHP 3 >= 3.0.3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

ucwords --  Uppercase the first character of each word in a string
Description
string ucwords ( string str )
Returns a string with the first character of each word in str capitalized, if that character is alphabetic.

The definition of a word is any string of characters that is immediately after a whitespace (These are: space, form-feed, newline, carriage return, horizontal tab, and vertical tab).

Example 1. ucwords() example

Code Select Expand

<?php
$foo = 'hello world!';
$foo = ucwords($foo);            // Hello World! 

$bar = 'HELLO WORLD!';
$bar = ucwords($bar);            // HELLO WORLD!
$bar = ucwords(strtolower($bar)); // Hello World!
?> 
Note: This function is binary-safe.

NEAT!

It could mean that there is a bot on your site trying to do SQL injections or run invalid php scripts.  Since HostNed has security to prevent this on your server, it is returning the error code instead of allowing it.

Hi,

I can suggest three things that are commonly known to be pesky with CGI scripts:

1) Make sure all of the CGI files are in the CGI bin
2) Make sure the CGI files are uploaded in ASCII mode
3) Make sure CGI file permissions are set properly (typically 755)

I hope this helps you.  If you still have trouble, let me know.

This special is extended through July.  Do not miss out on the hot savings!

Have you tried submitting the URL to Google and others?  HostNed offers a GREAT free resource for doing this easily.  Free Search Engine Submit Tool.

Hi,

I can help walk you though that process if you need.  Just post your questions here as they arrise. 

HostNed was doing work on the CP a couple days ago.  That was probably what you were experiencing.  If you still have trouble accessing the control panel, open a ticket in support.

There are a few different ways to achieve this.  I think the easiest way is to use forwarding or masking features of your domain name registrar.  I know DomainsNed supports this as does many top registrars.
