Dump Django site to static HTML?

I've determined that my local web hosting company cannot support Django. They run Python 2.2. No support for mod_python, FastCGI, or SCGI. No support for mod_rewrite. Any one of these prevent me from deploying my site as a Django app at that hosting service. I realize that my site is basically static. I'm wondering if I can use...

How do you track hosting / domain / SSL certificate expiry dates for customers?

Not a programming question per se, but interesting for people who do commercial web development. How do you track all of your clients' hosting, domain registration, and SSL certificate expiry dates? Do you just keep a spreadsheet or is there some useful piece of software for this? I've searched extensively and can't find a usable piec...

How to find out hosting provider from domain name?

I am looking for a reliable service that has a good database of the hosting providers vs domain names. I guess some of the domains that are privately hosted cannot be resolved to a definite hosting provider (maybe just to ISP). I have used webhosting.info (their power whois and advanced whois) which used to give hosting information(no...

Good PHP hosting options?

Surprisingly, it seems this question hasn't been asked yet (or at least I couldn't find it). I'm after a "good" PHP hosting solution. Obviously "good" is a subjective term, so I'll provide some guidelines: Scalable solutions from cheap shared to dedicated with easy transition between them (ie a smooth and relatively painless upgrade ...

Hosting: why does the number of MySQL databases matter?

Ok, maybe I'm missing something here but I'm looking at various PHP hosting options and I see things like "10 MySQL databases", or 25 or even unlimited. Now I've worked on sites with an Oracle backend that have 10,000+ concurrent users and we've had... one database. The idea of a database is, of course, that you can store whatever you ...

Is there a free web service for up/down voting ideas?

I'm interested in starting an open-source project based on an idea from another thread, and I think that it would be valuable to have a system in place to allow ideas for the new project to be proposed and voted up and down. I discovered the IdeaTorrent web-application, which is just what I'm looking for, except that I would have to sign...

Hosting solution for source control and project management

I'm going to be working with a few outside developers on some projects of mine and want to host the project files and version control on a hosted solution.

Which distro is best for hosting LAMP + memcache? (answer gets a Linode or Slicehost referral)

Despite having very little Linux experience, I'm too enticed by VPS (and too sick of cPanel/shared hosting crap) to not give it a try. I'm a smart kid and pick up things pretty quick. I took a class in Linux and know basic commands, how to pipe commands, some scripting and shell stuff -- all of which I've nearly forgotten... but I'm ...

Is there a free version control server provider for non-public projects?

I'd like to have a version control server (preferably SVN) accessible on the internet without having to host my own (linux) server. Setting up a home server ala DynDNS is not really an option. Can you have non-public (maybe single-user) projects on one of the OSS project hosting sites? Or are there alternatives? I had a look at Google ...

Reasonable Downtime

I run about 5 different hosted servers, through a variety of hosting providers. In the past two months, one of the servers I work on has been down twice. Both times were unexpected and fairly long (36 hours and 4 hours). The server in question is a VPS not a shared server. Given my experience with my other servers/providers (both VPS...

Object browser in SSMS 2008 doesn't work if I don't have access to all databases.

In SQL Server Management Studio 2008, if I log into a shared hosting provider with many databases on one server, I cannot use the Object Explorer. This worked fine in 2005. Anyway to change this behavior? It throws this exception: The server principal "myusername" is not able to access the database "first-database-alphabetically-on-sh...

WCF WSDL location address with HTTPS

A common issue for WCF appears to be how the hostname is resolved within the wsdl for the links to other files. The issue is that the machine name of the computer is placed into the wsdl to link the other wsdl files, so if you visit http://myhost/service.svc it may point to the rest of the wsdl on another location, ie http://mypc/service...
