Hosting support

Hello. I am fairly new to Drupal so please excuse my ignorance. I have my drupal all setup at work(developing a site for my company) and am now going to set it up on my home machine (to create my own personal site). Should I get a domain and host and create the site from there or should/can i build the site on my own machine and later upload it to the hosting site's server?

I guess since i am new to drupal, i am not exactly sure what entirely would need to be loaded to the host.

Thanks for your help.

Hi! I believe this is a bit outside of Drupal, but I was hoping someone could give me a quick answer. As I think I made changes in a module which makes any and all links to my site become "Page Not Found", I believe I need to modify the database to disable modules in order to get back in. I know Mysql and Drupal were automatically installed on my Provider's system by a one-click method, so I don't have a lot of info about the specifics.

I try to get a drupal site running on GoDaddy but faced some issues with views. I have everything running on my own test server where I have developed the site.

But when I transfer site to GoDaddy I am having an issue to get views working on there, all that happens when I try to create or modify views is a popup window with an error message:

An error occurred at /admin/build/views/ajax/add-item/123456789/default/field.

Error Description: 0:

I have nothing else than drupal core and views added to server…?

Hi guys
Sorry if I posted in the wrong forum but my website, being hosted at ovh.net, has been attacked from external users, and what amazed me was that all my pages were in the right place (found out after logging in as admin and using rewrite cond in htaccess), but if any other user was trying to open the site, it was redirecting to another website.
I wanted to know if by only accessing the website users could get access to the htaccess file, or it is accessible only via ftp? also how to solve this problem in the future?
thx...

I have a simple question which I know will not have any simple answers, but here goes: Should I using a Virtual Private Server (VPS) for my Drupal sites, or is shared hosting sufficient? I am currently comparing Go Daddy's shared hosting with eApps' Virtual Private Server (VPS), and I am wondering what is the real benefit of a VPS?

Green Geeks web hosting located at (greengeeks.com greengeeks.ca) has misleading hosting packages. They are now advertising that they are the official host for drupla for dummies. sseriously, stay away from their “free domain for life” package, it is a money grabbing extortion scheme. You will end up paying through your nose or lose your domain name altogether. When it comes time for hosting or domain name renewals is when they hook you. Here is how the scam or extortion scheme by green geeks works.

Green Geeks has a “Free domain for life” promotion, in which they claim that if a customer signs for a hosting plan they get a free domain for life. The truth is that it is a ‘domain name stealing exercise’, or a ‘force customer to host with green geeks for ever’ scam.
