Hy guys!
I want to start my blog about Squirrel Programming Language. Its about game server scripting. I want to create a simple website for it, shall i start it with blogger or WordPress, I know blogger hosting is free. but if i start with WordPress have i to buy web hosting for it right?
I also can use 000webhost and other free web hosting services but they really have lag and bad security. Please tell me the advantages of blogger and WordPress i want to know which one is best for me!
If i start it with blogger then in future can i change my website from blogger to WordPress?
And please suggest me a cheap and best domain provider please!
Please suggest the best. Waiting for your answers!
Thank you!
Yes, it is possible to migrate from blogger to wordpress. However, the structure of your permalink URLs will change.
Yes, blogger itself is free, and allows you to use your own purchased domain. If you just use a subdomain of blogger.com, then of course that makes your blog even less portable should you choose to go with wordpress later.
The biggest advantages of wordpress (or drupal, or any self-hosted solution for that matter) are portability and control.
Cheap registrars and webhosts are a dime a dozen. Some are better than others. Shop around.

I am currently learning front end web development. So far I am pretty familiar with HTML and CSS. I can make a website with (hours of)tinkering. I am going to learn some more advanced css and Javascript along the way. I have a website I am building from notepad and my question is: How do I upload a custom website to wordpress? I mean like is there a way to upload the files instead of using wordpress system.
EDIT: I was notified that this may have not made perfect sense. I apologize. I am working on a website as practice. It is being built in notepad and I was just wondering if there is any possibility of publishing it to the internet. Is there some sort of hosting service available for that kind of thing?
"Building a website with notepad" and building a website with Wordpress are TWO DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED approaches.
SUGGESTION:
If you want to learn wordpress, then install wordpress, work through a couple of tutorials, and play with a couple of different plugins and different templates. Focus on "Wordpress", not HTML or any underlying technologies.
NOTE:
You really don't have to know ANY HTML or ANY Javascript to effectively use Wordpress.
But if you DO get serious about "what's under the covers" with Wordpress ... then you'll likely be getting your hands dirty with PHP and with mySQL, too.

There's a lot of work involved with creating a WordPress theme from scratch, however. You should consult the official WordPress documentation. https://codex.wordpress.org/

Can someone just confirm that Modulus is a web host exclusively for NodeJs and cannot support something like a WordPress blog installation? I ask for a friend I'm helping out whose engineer built a platform on using nodejs and mongo hosted on Modulus. She wants to add a Wordpess blog (with my help) because her engineer doesn't have time to do integrate a native one.
I believe I know the answer. No, Modulus is just for Node. So alternatively I told her she'll have to create a sub domain with her modulus account. Host her blog on her hostgator account and redirect the hostgator URL to the sub domain created on Modulus.
Added 10/7/14 ---
I would like to point a site hosted at hostgatorsitename.com/blog to blog.modulusitename.co so that it seems like the blog is hosted on blog.modulusitename.co. For example, if there is a blog title "My Blog Title", the url would read blog.modulusitename.co/my-blog-title.
Is there anyway to do this? If so, how specifically can I go about it? If not, is it because the WordPress installation has to actually exist on blog.modulusitename.co and cannot be hosted elsewhere if we need the url to read this way?
Thanks in advance for all assistance!
Yup, you've got it right. Modulus is only for node hosting. You're solution will work. Host the blog on any other platform and create a subdomain to point to it.

I put this question in "wordpress answers" forum but i hope i can get more information from this active forum
After spending some time learning it, I am considering using wordpress rather than doing everything from scratch as i am used to.
but I see that the client will manage his content through the WP dashboard, so he has to learn wordpress and i admit that wordpress is really easy to use. so what do i offer as a service vendor?
If the user knows how to deal with the posts and the content, it wouldn't take much time or effort for him to learn about plugins and other stuff and he will be on his own soon,
So what is my job then? Is my job as a website business just to install and configure wordpress? is it hard for the end user to do that?
The easy answers are:
Installation
Customization of the theme
Database management and backups
Maintenance of plugins
Integrations of other features/functions like payment gateways, lightbox popups, etc.
SEO optimization
Here's what you offer:
You slice up your customer's sites into HTML, CSS, weave in Javascript magic and create customized templates for them. You would also presumably be helping them with all the things that go with an online deployment - SEO, etc. This all takes time and specialized skills.
In my opinion, your comment could be likened to this:
"I've shown my customers how to turn the tap on, how to drink water, how to connect a hose to the pipe in the back yard, what do I offer as plumber?"

I am starting a new project for a Custom Home Building company's website. I am new to web development but I have programming experience, so please excuse my newbie questions.
Here is what I have been trying to find answers to, but to no avail...
I am planning on using Twitter's Bootstrap to design the website which will mostly consist of images, videos,a contact page and portfolio (pretty basic). I am also planning on purchasing a bootstrap theme to get started and modify from there (a theme from a site called "wrapbootstrap"). Does anyone have any good experience with using Bootstrap themes and does this sound like a solid plan of action?
I am planning on using the Bootstrap theme but I am worried about content management. I would like the client to be able to change out and modify pictures and edit text easily. Is it good practice to give clients a CMS on the site to be able to do this or is this unheard of?
Also one last question. I am planning on hosting this on GoDaddy, does the host I choose need special requirements to host a Bootstrap site or can I easily upload it to a GoDaddy host?
All help is very much appreciated, Cheers!
GoDaddy, if you Google it, has notoriously slow and lousy hosting. You should familiarize yourself with what Bootstrap is. It's simply html, css, and jQuery, so any host will work. But a CMS has specific requirements, some require php 5+, image manipulation, and other server side apps, RAM requirements, and so on. Therefore you need to figure out a good host for your CMS.
If you are good with your CMS and understand html, and CSS and some jQuery then you can take a pre-created theme or your own and put in the tags, loops, menu, footer, header, and other includes and create a database driven site. Most developers use a CMS to allow customers the ability to add content to their sites. Wordpress developers create admin themes in html, css, and php so it's easy for their customer to update.
There's also hosted CMS systems that have built in functions for nearly all the common functions like galleries, blogs, etc., you need to look around. http://vandelaydesign.com/blog/web-development/hosted-cms/

I was given a task to integrate a blog software to a sample.aspx page in asp.net website.
I didn't understand what does it mean.
If i install a blog software on my system then how can i integrate to an aspx page web
application.
I'm confused at this step.
Please anybody help.
Thanks
update
I installed BlogEngine.Net on my system, but when i browse it opens as a separate website. I don't want in this way.
What I want is there is a page sample.aspx in my asp.net application and a navigation link for this page on menu.So when click on this link , this page will open and blog software should run on this page.
Which blog software will be best suited for this condition?
I think the best option, if it's even an option at all, is to have the website and blog engine be separate urls, but use the same theme across both the site and the blog. this way, the user won't really be able to tell the difference other than the url changed. (and how many people really look at the url anymore?)
but trying to put the blog egine "in" the web site doesn't make much sense.
