Free Republic

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Monday on “The View” that Republicans were “intentionally dumbing down our electorate” to remain in power. Hostin said, “What we’re seeing by the Republican Party, and I give it to them, we’re seeing a long game. We’re seeing that they are dismantling or attempting to dismantle institutions. All of a sudden, the most elite colleges and universities in the world, which, by the way, they all went to, everybody on the Supreme Court went there, Elise Stefanik went there, all the congresspeople went there, Ted Cruz went there. Those schools are not...

I'm looking for a new hosting service for the images that I sometimes put on Free Republic. A few months ago, somebody's browser freaked out at one of the images I put up, thinking there was malware involved. Since then, I stopped posting the images, but I want to migrate my site to a new hosting service with a decent SSL, because the host and SSL I have are obviously not that good, and the price is almost constantly increasing. What say you, fellow FReepers? What is a good one to check out? I am looking on my own, but...

We just created a new website and aren't keen on the company we engaged to do that, who are currently handling the hosting/maintenance. We'd like to contract directly with an entity to host it ourselves and possibly even maintain it ourselves, as there should be very little changes to it overall. The site was created through wordpress. Would love some guidance on taking over the daily/monthly ourselves.

UPDATED Rackspace has admitted a ransomware infection was to blame for the days-long email outage that disrupted services for customers. The security snafu took down some of Rackspace's hosted Microsoft Exchange services on Friday afternoon [12/02/2022].

The company hasn't yet determined what customer data was touched. "If we determine sensitive information was affected, we will notify customers as appropriate," it added.

President Joe Biden plans Friday to host Elton John at the White House, in his latest attempt to seek unity and healing through music. The White House announced the concert with the British music legend would “celebrate the unifying and healing power of music” and commend Sir Elton’s work as well as honor teachers, nurses, frontline workers, mental health advocates, students, and “LGBTQ+ advocates.”

President Joe Biden will host a “unity” summit at the White House on Thursday, after weeks of Democrats fueling hatred toward Republicans who support the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. The White House said in a statement the purpose of the summit is to “to counter the corrosive effects of hate-fueled violence on our democracy and public safety” promising to put forward “a shared vision for a more united America.

President Joe Biden is scheduled to host a Holiday party on Tuesday at the White House, as the coronavirus pandemic continues. The party will be for the Democratic National Committee as Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are expected to attend and deliver remarks even as victims of the Waukesha Christmas Parade massacre wait for a visit from either.

Let's say I wanted to build a small web site to try and make a small stab against wokeness. In the past, I'd have probably registered a domain with Godaddy, and then either rented some hosting space or thrown up my own server. In a rural area and it's hard enough to get a reliable DSL - and I need to stay on the good side of my ISP since I use it for work. So short of renting some commercial space in town and trying to get a business internet connection, it looks like I'd have to use a...

I've checked some lists of image-hosting sites, but perhaps someone can point me to good ones: -free -minimal "registration" (prefer not, or ability to use fake name) -no propaganda such as promoting BLM, homos, etc.

I have a personal domain since 1997. In recent years I've been hosting it at HostExcellence.com. Today my email stopped working. When I went to HostExcellence.com, this is the notice I received: ixwebhosting.com, hostexcellence.com, and cloudbyix.com are closed for business Sorry we've closed our doors, but if you were an existing customer, we've migrated you to one of our other brands, please see below. Based on the type of service I had with them, I was apparently migrated to site5.com, but I can't log in there, either. After I tried, I realized it could be a phishing attack. But that...

Looks like Photobucket is pulling its third party hosting/linking service unless you opt for a premium plan... at $400/ year. I had an email this morning saying such. So much for their "free" service. Have not tried, but I assume I still have access to my photos. Never did put much up there, just an occasional photo that I could not link to for various reasons.

I value the technical advise found on FreeRepublic concerning technical matters, so looking for a bit of assistance. I have a web site I've built and I'm ready to host it. Much of it will be links to videos that are all housed via Google Drive. I found out youtube no longer supports private (ie login required) links. These videos are mostly family recordings so we wish to provide them only for family members. Google Drive does allow restrictions via specific gmail login accounts. There will also be many other pages supporting Christian literature and links. I've written several articles...

Imgur Does Away with Pro Membership, Now Offers Free and Unlimited Photo Storage for All After being started back in 2009 as a gift for Reddit users, Imgur has quickly become one of the Web’s most dominant forces in image hosting. Yesterday marked the service’s sixth year in existence, and to celebrate, Imgur has decided to phase out Pro subscriptions. The benefits of paid membership are now completely free for every user.

The blind sheik, convicted of orchestrating the deadly World Trade Center bombing 20 years ago, has benefited from a sophisticated social media messaging machine despite serving life in prison in a solitary confinement cell in North Carolina. And federal authorities can’t do anything to stop Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman because his family is running the show on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and a website hosted in the United States – and there’s nothing illegal in the content of the sites’ messages. … Abdel-Rahman’s main website is hosted at SingleHop, in Chicago, Ill., according to dawhois.com, a website that registers servers and domains....

Need to make a website to showcase my portfolio for potential employers. Can I do this easily with Wordpress? If I pay them ~$25/year for a blog and domain name, what sort of functionality am I losing? I would only need a few pages on the site: about, portfolio, resume, and blog. Will Wordpress work, or should I go through multiple other channels? Thanks as always for your help, Freepers.

Sorry for the vanity. I am looking for a cheap hosting service with tools to have a password protected blog. I would laos like to be able to post the blog on the main page after a few days. The service would be easy to use.

Just thought I'd tap the most mobile, informed, and technically savvy pool of of esoteric talent in the great US. I need to source tools for creating and hosting a Webinar for my place of employ. We're big so I we have to project technical credibility along with the message. We want to be able to play the "event" back so hosting is also a spec for this job. I've never delved into this arena of the internet realm before but I need to do it right - that's why I thought I'd take a stab at a superior solution...

Any freepers know of point me to some cheap hosting that is reliable. This is for a simple 1-3 page website, 1 email. I have used zerodollars before 10$ year but the sevice is lacking big time. I appreciate it, thanks!
