How can I convince my manager to grant me access to our web host admin functions?

I was hired by my current employer to develop an e-commerce solution. My manager doesn't want to give me access to the hosting interface, so I can't create or administer the required databases or do anything else requiring that kind of access. The host only provides one level of access to their tools. My manager apparently just doesn't...

Groovy or Django

I have never created a high traffic site so I have no idea what the best long term plan is. There is no room for a dedicated server in the budget. I'm currently using VPS hosting for my current site.

WinHost as hosting provider

Anyone used WinHost for hosting a SQL / ASP.Net MVC solution? It appears that they've got a pretty good thing going, but I have reservations with a couple of points, primarly their requirement that a subdomain point to a directory in your application, and how MVC will deal with that when my subdomain might be a webforms app. Example:...

Why would "/id" as a HTTP GET parameter would be a security breach ?

Hello everybody, While trying to debug my openid implementation with Google, which kept returning Apache 406 errors, I in the end discovered that my hosting company does not allow to pass a string containing "/id" as a GET parameter (something like "example.php?anyattribute=%2Fid" once URL encoded). That's rather annoying as Google ope...

What's the difference between the cost of ASP.NET and PHP hosting?

Several times I heard that PHP hosting is much cheaper than ASP.NET one. I decided to check it out and went to Google. But there are different categories of hosting (it can be expensive or not).
