The New Look of Hosting 

GypsyOwl Commerce is a valued added hosting service



In addition to affordable hosting, easy to use free applications, exceptional phone and email help lines, and much more, the added value is in the Marketing Members Package that is included with every hosting service purchase.

GypsyOwl's Marketing Members Network will bring you exceptional information, networking options, free advertising, promotions, and help you to set your course toward more substantial and quantitive traffic to your site.

With over 30 FREE Value Applications to add to your hosting package (no need to choose right away). The most popular hosting package will allow 25 databases (so you can try out the applications and add on as you move foreward).

These are my favorites of the free value applications currently available.
Joomla, WordPress, Serendipity, Xoop, ZenCart

That's Right!!! You can easily customize your own application for your web site for as little as $9.49 a month (Deluxe Plan). The Deluxe Plan now has 150GB Space, 1500GB Transfer, 500 Email Accounts, Free Software, 25 MySQL Databases, Unlimited Email Forwards, And more credits, tools, and software than can be listed here.

All plans feature Free Setup, 24x7 FTP access, Web site stats, world class data centers, 24x7 email, telephone, and web-based tech support.

NOTE: Be certain to select the LINUX DELUXE PLAN (the operating system that you use at your home or office can be windows, the operating system you use for your hosting account is important to the applications you want to run on the hosting account. MOST of my favorite applications require Linux PHP which is available....be sure to double check your order before you finalize it).

If you are a developer or an advanced website techie, you will be happy to know that these plans can be configured to be compatible with over 5 languages. Python, ColdFusion (extra monthly fee and minimum order), Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Perl, and Java.(*PHP is the only language available with the economy plan).

One Night Website - What You Need - Taking the Mystery Out of Website Ownership 

This is another option to creating a website (not a WordPress application). This click and build package includes:

*Pre-Built Templates - Select from over 90 templates pre-built with real content.

*Flash Animation Introductions - Select from over 60 introductions in various categories or upload your own.

*Music Upload - Add music to your Flash Intro or to a specific Web site page.

GypsyOwl Organization Hosting services



Take a look at all of the information on the hosting website and then let's take a look at what you need.

CMS and Other Free Application Options 

There are dynamic applications that are included in a regular hosting package. The expense is less than the 'Website Tonight' package discussed above.

If you are an intermediate - advanced developer, you can take advantage of Linox platform hosting and have access to Several Application options including Content Mangement Software, Forum & Community applications, and much more. There are dozens of applications that are FREE with hosting (see site for details). My favorites are Joomla and WordPress. I am considering using coppermine as well (great for hosting your own media files - your domain.com/images ).

The advanced packages begin at $6.95 a month (does not include domain purchase, but, there are great deals on purchase and transfers). Choose the package that meets your storage & traffic needs.

The intermediate-advanced developer can transfer downloadable files directly to the root directory. Additionally, when using the Linox php hosting platform, you can install your favorite open source applications, create your own database support (mysql), and configure the dynamic website yourself.

*24/7 support

*Reasonable Cost

*Reseller Opportunites
(contact me - very easy to personalized front end - )

Joomla is an exceptional open source content management system with extraordinary dynamic potential

WordPress vs. Serendipity 

Open Source Applications

WordPress or Serendipity?

WordPress

GypsyOwl says:

Now I am using wordpress to compare... I am still wondering what others think. I can see some pros and cons for each of them. what do you think?

Serendipity

GypsyOwl says:

Another great application is Serendipity. It is a blog application, installs automatically (click to install from inside your hosting package dashboard). It took me about 15 minutes to configure this new application. http://www.gypsyowl.org/yourflowblog
Serendipity is one of numerous free applications available to hosting customers. Reviews said that it will not have as many features as WordPress (which is also free), but, I decided to try it out and use it as an external menu (an external lensography), so I can play with some new ideas I'm having about linking.
