website stuff

[Adrianvdh]

Hi do you know when you have a website registered (free/paid) and you type a file in the search bar like this... www.domain.com/dog.jpeg and there is does not exist and it says something like this...

Not Found

The requested URL /dog.jpeg was not found on this server.

 

Now on my domain name that i have (free) when I type a file and it does not exist it errors out and goes to the host website and says something like this...

 

http://e.freewebhostingarea.com/not-found.html

 

Any help would be nice thanks

i would assume because it is free hosting, all errors will default to the host page

i have paid hosting and all i get is a generic page not found message

[Adrianvdh]

So cant I do something in the settings then at all?

[Adrianvdh]

Oh can you tell me the advantages of a paid website compaired to a paid one? and what company is hosting your domain? Oh ya one more question do you have to pay permonth or can you pay just once, straight up?

[cornholio7]

best to ask your free host really, if they have a generic script for errors then they will have to alter it, presuming they would

i use one.com for several domains and am satisfied with their service

i pay yearly for hosting and 5 yearly for domain names

when i tried free hosting, there were ads everywhere, i don't want that.

free hosting was very slow loading as well

[Adrianvdh]

Ok what is best for paid hosting then, what you have?

and how would I fix my problem?:

i can only speak for what is best for me

i am happy with their product

[Adrianvdh]

What do you mean by adds where?

[cornholio7]

there has to be a reason you hosts picture has a remove ads by upgrading button so i assume you have some sort of google or other ads on your page

[Adrianvdh]

Huh no my website just loads my index.php

 

Ok here its just running a test so far because its going to replace my old domain...

then i would just use free hosting if it works for you

[Adrianvdh]

But I want a .com domain and faster upload speeds and I realy want it to get the file cannot be found error

 

and where are these adds?

 

P.S how many posts does a user need to get 4 to 5 stars on this forum?

it looks like you don't get ads on the small/normal site package you have, that's a good thing

as the saying goes,you pay your money and make your choice, hosting can be very expensive on dedicated servers

choose wisely

 

i don't know how many posts luk has the 5 stars set at, and why does that matter to you?

 

its not about how many posts you make, on a help forum, surely the content of your post should be more important?

[Adrianvdh]

just asking
