Question about worlds hoster // CommunitylhMay 28, 2001, 6:14pm
Hi all
Unfortunately my Web Hoster does not allow to start any programs in background so I need in hosting for my world... I looked some sites, but they do not accept credit cards, I would like to pay only with my credit card It would be good if it worked on linux and also that this package included hosting for 2-3 bots like DJBot One more thing, it would be good if I might control my world with "Server Administration" from my pc Please let me know about any Thank you Andrej kahMay 28, 2001, 6:47pm
just know that by uploading the exe to a server, it won't work. now, it
doesn't matter what OS your world is hosted on, makes no difference. after what I know there are no (publicaly released) bots for Linux/Unix, so that won't be possible. if your world is in AW, the server will have to be 3.0 (thus accept server admin logins) :-)) KAH PS. good luck with your world!

WEB HOSTER? You mean your ISP PROVIDER don't you? You could do that yourself
running the admin tool on your own pc. THE WEB HOSTER has nothing to do with the world server. It is the path to put your AW files. And most likely it will not allow you to do a direct file download without first sending you to some download page first. You could try www.nbci.com for your world hosting site as my friend's RPG world's path is hosted through my MIDI WEB site. Also PETZCITY is using my midi web site as well... But they do allow for direct file downloads. Just make sure you do have your files listed on some html page BUT it dosen't need to be accessable to the general web surfing public... Like parts of my MIDI site are not direct accessable yet. jfkmusic.com/da1.html[One of the tunes found here is ON BRWAY GZ OF BW = BW World GZ tune] = a midi tune directory that can't be accessed doing the general jfkmusic.com web page that loads. But if you can... You should be allowed by your ISP to run a program in the background. If they say NO... Then if i were you... I would seriously consider switching to another ISP. Not being able to run FTP Server, WEB Hosting Server, World Servers, Telnet Server, Email Server, NGS Server is no fun at all... The long way in there without my DOMAIN NAME is... members.nbci.com/gkieffer/da1.html OR members.nbci.com/gkieffer/ NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH 3dworlds.jfkmusic.com = My Message Forum That Is The Web Version Of This AW's Newsgroups PLUS Other Universes & Worlds. AND YES... I AM A MODERATOR THERE... AND NO... I do not BOOT people if i do not like them... ANYONE has that right to speak wheather or not I personally love them or not makes no difference... THEY all get to have their say there. Only the type of words used may make the messages be cleaned up OR deleted. And nothing else matters. And I do allow for alot to happen before i clean OR delete it. AND YES... It has been running since 11/15/2000 HOSTED on www.delphi.com servers & it is a FREE thing to join there. I even had a 3 month notice at all the AW TELEPORT STOPS in Alpha World. 12/15/2000 - 3/15/2001 apx. And i'm seriously considering another one... lh <djusha at infotel.kg> wrote in <3b12b192 at server1.Activeworlds.com>: >Hi all >Unfortunately my Web Hoster does not allow to start any programs >in background so I need >in hosting for my world... > >I looked some sites, but they do not accept credit cards, >I would like to pay only with my >credit card > >It would be good if it worked on linux and also that this >package included hosting for 2-3 >bots like >DJBot > >One more thing, it would be good if I might control my >world with "Server Administration" >from my pc > >Please let me know about any > >Thank you >Andrej jermeMay 28, 2001, 9:40pm
I am going to be offering free hosting soon, so, no need to worry about
paying. There are no bots that run on Linux, but it can be done with a Win emulator. About the server admin. I would never give you access to this (and I doubt anyone, in their right mind, will) for these reasons: 1) There is only 1 user name and password for the admin, and I'm not giving that to you. 2) IF I gave you the password you would have access to all the worlds running on my server, not only yours. Unless I ran 2 different aw servers on the same machine; which is unnecessary. -- JerMe at nc.rr.com ---------------------- AIM: AlphaNumeric100 ICQ: 106209991 AW: JerMe (#296967) [View Quote] jfk2May 28, 2001, 10:03pm
I hear you there... And i do the same on my 3 world servers I host.
If someone wants something changed... They GRAM me or EMAIL me or we get together on ICQ or Paltalk. Or even NET 2 Phone or PC 2 PC type of things. [I do have a microphone and do not mind using it to chat with] or by real PHONE if they don't mind the expense or live close enough to phone locally... BUT giving out my WORLD HOST SYS ADMIN PASS.... Yeah....

Bad news, I have received some offers but nobody works with credit cards :) checks or
money by mail will not work in my country. The wire transfer about $30, so I want to pay with credit card only. I offer to try to work with www.multicards.com, They process almost all credit cards for you I work with them about 3 years I had no problems with them Yes, they take 10-12 % for each transaction > Hi all > Unfortunately my Web Hoster does not allow to start any programs in background so I need > in hosting for my world... > > I looked some sites, but they do not accept credit cards, I would like to pay only with my > credit card > > It would be good if it worked on linux and also that this package included hosting for 2-3 > bots like > DJBot > > One more thing, it would be good if I might control my world with "Server Administration" > from my pc > > Please let me know about any > > Thank you > > Andrej > > > > jfk2May 30, 2001, 12:34am
Of course there is always the old fashioned BARTER FOR SERVICES things...
That is something that people used to do long ago in those dark ages... It is when someone agrees to do services for you IN EXCHANGE you do something for them. THUS you don't have to shell out that extra %% for any exchange rates... EXAMPLE.... Someone hosts your world for $15 per year. IN your country that might be $30.00 and it could be your fees you charge to be a web page designer... WELL... Exchange services & both side come out the winners without exchanging CASH or CREDIT CARDS. lh <djusha at infotel.kg> wrote in <3b135770 at server1.Activeworlds.com>: >Bad news, I have received some offers but nobody works with credit cards >:) checks or money by mail will not work in my country.
