    You can try Bluehost. Shared server platform is cheap and is really good compared to other cheap hosting solutions. You could go for VPS/Dedicated from them as well. I work in the website hosting business so if you have any questions let me know.

    Great topic! Loved the story

    Wordpress ftw! Squarespace is nice but not as versatile as WP. Take is from a guy who works for a hosting company and gets to work on websites all day long.

    ^ If that's the case then you might want to look at Cent OS or something along that line If your trying to get something similar to Scientific Linux. Arch is only similar as it uses a Linux kernel .. but that's about it. Package management is different to use and some setup is involved to get it working as opposed to installing Fedora or Cent OS pretty much running out of the box

    Honestly I love Arch.

    If your looking to bind the file system from one server to another you can use something like sshfs to mount a directory like /home from the other server

    Just go LFS. if that's too hard then build Arch with KDE

    Just use proxmox or something as a hypervisor, then run pfsense and whatever else you want on the hypervisor. You can also install Cent OS or something like that and use KVM

    Cloudflair is a very good cdn but honestly get a different hosting provider. If they can respond to you or don't have 24 hr tech support don't bother with them

    I'm assuming that you want to learn bash and shell and if that the case just install Ubuntu and a VM (assuming that your machine can handle it) and practice on that. I have a Windows machine with two monitors one screen with Windows 8 and the other with Fedora KDE and does pretty much everything that I would ever use it for ( server management)

    haha Arch is awesome just saying... but Its a real pain to get set up. I mean in your case you might just want to start with Ubuntu with unity installed. It's really easy to work with and is almost compatible with everything and does not look like a piece of crap. Another one I like is Mint OS because it also looks really nice and is pretty strait forward to use. The question you need to be asking is what are you going to use this for? Because different distros work well for different purposes.

    Just pick a distro and go for it. Personally I DO NOT like anything Debian but ehh (Redhat, Centos, Fedora guy)

    Security + and Net + certs are really not that bad if you buckle down and just study the hell out of any approved books. Just watch out if your taking any of the Cisco certs...

    As someone who works for a hosting company, free is never good. you will be plagued with slow site performance and usually you dont get any versatility ( databases, mysql, php etc). plus good luck on getting any kind of tech support

    No Provo

    Provo is where I was referring to

    I'm actually kind of surprised because there are like ten different fiber ISPs here
  19. Deviantsteam
    Google fiber is coming to my city. Just putting that out there

    You may have got a good drive or two. All three of my vertex 3 drives died. I switched brands (Intel) and never have had problems.

    By definition ad hoc networking usually only runs on layer 2 so IP addresses are not involved but mac addresses are. That's why your not getting an IP address. you can statically assign IP addresses or run a dhcp server

    I had one case like this back in my pc repair days where I built a computer for this guy and everything was working great , but whenever he would take it home after abou an hour of running the machine it would just die. It took me many many man hours and hardware diag to nail down the problem and it wasn't even hardware related. This guys had some shittly power running to his computer. A ups later had no issues at all .
  23. Deviantsteam
    That's exactly my point. If it was a windows problem it would be blue screening. But because it's not I'm still leaning on a hardware issue or maybe just something in bios configured wrong. Who know maybe a reinstall will clear this whole thing up
  24. Deviantsteam
    +1 on pfsense, smoothwall or another one I like is untangle
  25. Deviantsteam
    Yea but when Windows freezes has problems it normally will always blue screen and show an even happened in event viewer. If it is blue screening you should also be able to read the dumps from ERD commander or some kind of mem dump reader. Hardware problems can blue screen or just fall flat and give you no indication of what might be wrong. Whenever I've had to repair issues related to whats happening with this guys computer it's always been a hardware related.
