[REBOL] Re: Web Site Hosting Services

Jamey,
Here is some info I gleaned from the mailing list a while back:
=====
REBOL-friendly CGI hosting provider: http://www.happysite.net/
=====
I have found the kind of service you want in two different places. The
first is a free public access ISP called NYX. NYX is a non-profit which
provide internet and UNIX access free of charge. They are supported by
donations, so if you feel guilty, you can make a periodic donation. They
provide complete UNIX shell access and you can write CGI scripts and C
programs to your hearts content. They do provide some web hosting
services, but it is not the kind of place you want to use for a commercial
site. It is however, a great place to experiement with scripts and
programs etc. The web address is: http://www.nyx.net
The second kind of place is a full service web hosting company. These
companies typically don't provide dialup service, so you have to telnet or
ftp in from another service. The one I am using is called Interactive
Online. They provide everything you need including your own CGI directory,
annonymous FTP directory and access to the log files. They also have a
complete library of CGI scripts and of course you can write your own.
The web address is: http://www.interactiveonline.net .
=====
PortONE.com offers such services (as well as just about everything else).
They host REBOL/CGI for me. Email to [kreiss--portone--com] if you'd like to
discuss it more.
=====
My host is very CGI and developer friendly, inexpensive and responsive.
The machines are located near Chicago Nap, MAE East and MAE West.

You could contact them directly, or I could help get you set up as a
reseller. It runs about $35/month, unlimited traffic, et cetera.
I also think we could run REBOL scripts from some of the free servers,
like Tripod. Anyone tried this yet? I just need to write a quick script
to test what platform my test account is on (wxxi_org.tripod.com).
For the least cost, sometimes a dial-up ISP will give you some free Web
space, complete with a CGI-BIN. (For REBOL, all you need is an
executable directory and FTP, and you're in business.) You could then
use a forwarding service like NameSecure.com (about $35/year ) to keep
your top-level domain in use.
=====
Of course, if anybody knows of any other REBOL hosting providers (especially
free ones), please send the info to [bo--rebol--com].
Thanks!
-Bo
