Friends,
I’m going to host a website. what is the difference between these both hosting? please explain it clearly. I’m going to use php in my site. which one is best for that?

Both will offer Php, if installed.
Linux hosting is the most common (75% of the market). It is cheaper, since it uses Open Source languages. It is faster (since Unix is faster than windows). It is relatively free of bugs, as bugs are, usually, corrected within days.
Window based systems are less common (25% of servers). It is expensive, since it uses closed sources (Microsoft) for which you have to pay, repay and re-re-pay endless licence fees. It has bugs that have never been addressed (MS prefers to issue a new system than correcting mistakes)

There is no choice, really!
Users of Window based servers, ASP, JSP, .net have more money than brain.

I live in MN and am interested in possibly hosting an exchange student. Where can I go to get information? Does it cost money - does the student have money available to them while they are here?

How wonderful that you are considering opening your home to someone! I am a 5-time host mom and volunteer with Youth For Understanding (YFU). I will not pretend that YFU is the only good exchange program around, but we have had a very good experience with it. The first student we hosted was with another program (that no longer exists) and we learned a few things during that time. We then moved out of State (twice) and so had a decade gap in hosting. After we got into the position to host again, we called our school to see if they had any recommendations - they didn’t - and then did a little research. We started by calling agencies listed with the Council for Standards on International Educational Travel (csiet.org). They routinely audit programs for quality. One of the most important parts of an exchange organization is their local representative. As we live in Wyoming, many did not have one (nor seemed to care that one was needed). In the end, we ended up with YFU. I would highly recommend them. Yes, I am a volunteer for them, but I only became a volunteer after we’d hosted for 3 years. My time is very precious to me and so I won’t waste it on things I don’t feel passionately about. (Full disclosure: in the little over 1 year that I’ve been a volunteer, I’ve gotten a $15 gift card to a local restaurant, a YFU Tshirt, and a YFU sweatshirt. So I have gotten things of financial value, but I am certainly not paid.)
I’ve put links below that you can use to get more information. You can also email me.
Financially speaking, all the host families are required to provide are room (a bed to sleep in (either in a personal room or a shared room with a host sibling of the same sex), a place to put some personal belongings (clothes…), and (of course) access to a bathroom (can be shared)) and board (3 meals a day (our kids are accustomed to making their own breakfast, getting cash in the amount of slightly more than school lunch, and then eating whatever my husband and I eat for supper), basic utilities (hot water, electricity)). The student must also have a way to get to school - if you are reasonably close to school, they can walk, bicycle, rollerblade, whatever. If you’re not, they can ride the school bus, ride with you on your way to work (what our kids do - the school is literally on my way), ride with friends, etc. Many kids in our region take the school bus until they find friends to ride with. The ‘rule of thumb’ when deciding who pays for what is: if it’s a family activity, the family pays (for example, if the family decide to go to a movie, they pay); if it’s something the student wants to do, the student pays (examples: if the student wants a new pair of jeans, if the student wants a haircut, if the student needs soccer shoes in order to join the school team, etc.).
I hope this information helps. Feel free to email me. I hope you find a program that works for you!

I’m confused on how the person that is hosting a charity event would make their money. For example: Let’s say someone’s hosting a casino charity event, and all the money that the people loose goes to the cause. So how does the person that host’s the event make any money? Or doesn’t he? Does he just do it to get brownie points for his karma? But then how do big charity organizations make their money, who pays them?
And wouldn’t the people loose many because they have to spend the money to rent all the game tables?

The person operating the event is a volunteer and 100% of money raised goes to the charity or they are a professional fundraiser that contracted with the charity for a percentage of the proceeds.
Some take as much as 60%

I will be creating a website for my clothing store. I sell juniors clothing, shoes and accessories.
I need a hosting site that will give me templates to customize. I also need to be able to accept credit cards from my customers (some places don’t allow this). I basically need everything a good ecommerce site has. I don’t have much money to start with, so high quality- good priced websites are preffered. Thank you

I suggest you this website http://www.tenhostingreviews.com where you can find a list of hosting companies with the best features, support and pricing. You can get everything you need and it’s very easy. Hope this could help you.

I am directing this question not only at Americans but at all nationalities who might read the question and have thoughts about the subject.

This year my family is hosting two students, one from Germany and one from Hong Kong, both girls. In the past we have hosted two boys from Germany, one boy from Korea, and one girl each from Germany and Hong Kong. This is our third full year to host, and we also hosted for a partial year.

Our son was a foreign exchange student in Germany for a year.

We have had exceptional kids to work with. The experiences have been incredible and we are connected to all of our past and present kids.

Would you consider hosting a child from a foreign land?
I’m not recruiting, although my wife is coordinating placements and trying to recruit families in our local area. (South Texas.)

I was just interested in seeing what sort of response I would get from the Yahoo! Answers community. I expected some people to respond as you have, and I also expected some to say "no way," and others to simply be curious about the programs.

From experience I can tell you that if you like young people and enjoy interacting with other cultures it is an experience difficult to match other than by doing a lot of traveling on your own.

I’m on my 13th! Our first just as an arrival family. I have four Danes, three Germans, two Swedes, two Swiss, one Finn and one Brasilian!
As you can tell, we love it. We’ve also had exceptional students to work with as well … and we wouldn’t trade any of them!
To top it all off, we spent our 25th anniversary on a three-week tour of Europe visiting many of them!
Hosting not only gives you a new son or daughter, but it gives you a whole new family as well!
The one thing that concerns me about your question however, is that it ALMOST seems like a recruitment of host families. I’m sure you really didn’t mean it that way, but I certainly would NOT be looking for families for students on the Internet!
Congratulations on your international family!

How much time does a Web hosting company takes to start a new host if I take it?
I mean how instantly they provide it to us to use?

It basically takes around 30 minutes to 2 hours if its a good one.

I am pretty active on my computer, I want to start a hosting company, so people can buy hosting for their domains, I have 0$. So I cann put money into it… I dont know how to create templates, any way I can start and how?

Although you will not be able to get started to 100% free if you can spare around $24/month you can get started. You will need to get a reseller hosting account.

These are available from all sorts of hosting companies, but I like Hostgator and I think it may be the cheapest. You then just need to work on getting some customers. You could try targeting offline companies and could charge anything you like (perhaps $10/month), so you will make your money back easily.

I am very familiar with hosting agencies and ask that agencies or any area coordinator, area representative, or local coordinator will not reply to this question. I am asking this question from the point of view of a potential host family, host parent, host sister, or host brother with no hosting experience.
I would like to open this to former host families.

The most important question I usually want to know of the students we host is "Why are you doing the exchange?" Other important questions (in no particular order):
- What (specific or general terms) do you expect of us, as host parents? For example, do you expect that we will take trips to (insert names of tourist spots near to where we live) at least once a month while you are here? Do you expect that we will be strict? Do you expect us to have the same level of trust in you that your parents have? Do you expect us to help you with your homework for one hour every night? Etc.
- What personal adjustments do you expect to make and how can we help to make those happen?
- What’s your favorite kind of food? What foods do you absolutely hate?
- What do you do in a typical day? How about on weekends?
- What is your family like (mother, father, siblings, personalities, habits, etc.)?
- What kind of ‘living situations’ have you lived in? For example, living in a small apartment in a big city where you walk to school (less than 15min away) and the mall (less than 15min away), living on a farm in the country where you take a bus for 30+min to school and your grandparents live with you as well, etc.
- Have you ever been away from your family for a significant amount of time (eg. visiting a friend who has moved away for a month)?
- What are you hobbies?
- What is your favorite family tradition?
- Can you trust us to do what’s in the best interest of you?
- Can you ask for help when faced with difficulties?
- How do you show ‘good’ and ‘bad’ emotions?
The list is endless, but the reasons for doing the exchange are the most important thing - if you’re heart isn’t into the experience, nothing else matters.

I need a secure ASP hosting center that is close to my office in Paramus, NJ. Are there websites that provide a directory of ASP hosting centers by location?
