Im pretty new to the idea of hosting BT 2.0 on a server... but what website do you use to host it, or do you host it directly from your mac?? Thanks Jack Hoskins

Sign up for a GoDaddy account mate, they are the cheapest and most stable for your dollar. Get their base linux package and you'll be good.

it says you have to have a windows or linux and i have all macs..stuck haha

No you aren't. Who do you host with?

1freehosting.com, but i couldnt figuire out how to upload the BT server so i just gave up and satrted searching for an alternative source.

Get what you pay for with free (BT being the exception) I've been with 1&1, EasyCGI, MaximumASP and for the money GoDaddy aint bad at all. Easy install for BT server with linux hosting.

on which site is it the easiest to install on, casue i have no knowledge of hosting at all.

GoDaddy mate. In terms of cost, ease of install and stability, go for their linux option you'll be good.

alrighy sounds good and can i have your email adress in case i need an expert, like you, to help out with installing the server??

My email address? How dare you! I used to sell servers, God knows how they work though. keith at aipple dot com Anyone that emails me though I tell them to post on forum though and then I pretend I'm busy. You'll get it, feel free to email.

or ill just post it as a question on the forum insted so people can access it if they need it as a refrence down the road, and did you just get the single linux hosting plan thats like 5$ a month or should i go for the advacned one?? and are there any add ons that i need??

The basic hosting will do it. I'm still with EasyCGI but I work in the industry and for your hard earned dollars they are the best, even if they shoot elephants. I'd go for deluxe if you can, you may need the mysql DB's if you plan on doing some serious app development.

Should have said I used to work in the industry. Windows hosting is cheaper but linux is more solid and BT uses linux.

i plan on hosting about 50+ apps and that dosent include all of the games i have out there to haha

The install instructions that come with BT server are excellent as well...pretty self explanatory! If you need help, post here, and I bet MacApple or I will respond post haste! Mark

If you are having issues installing at 1freehosting then you may have the same issue with godaddy. You will get the same cpanel type setup. Just follow the BT install instruction. The key is that you need to ftp the BT server software to the root level of the hosting server they give you. Then after that its just execute the install script and follow the PDF instructions. My opinion....
