| 1241312 | 2011-11-01 19:55:00 | Hey Team Just 2 quick questions. :) 1) Does anyone know of a web designers forum in New Zealand? If not I am keen to start one, would anyone join? 2) Can anyone recommend a good NZ host company that does Windows hosting? And not too expensive. Learning web design in school and learning asp.net so can't use linux anymore. :D. Thanks! :D |

| 1241313 | 2011-11-01 21:14:00 | ASP? What's ASP? ;-) There's the PHP User Group? That's close, and it's a *real* language ;) I seem to remember OpenHost do windows (I think...), and they've been spoken well of by the members here on a couple of occasions. |

PHP Breaks way too easy, and it's ugly when it breaks. :P. But no I agree. I prefer PHP but the class didn't offer it. :D In regards to the PHP user group, I want to have a website/forum for all types of web design like codingforums.com, except for Kiwi designers. :) Thanks guys. everyone seems to be suggesting openhost so I'll give them a go. :) |

There use to be two or three NZ Web Design / Web Development forums, but it looks like they have all gone off-line, and if you do start one, then yes I would join :) 2) Can anyone recommend a good NZ host company that does Windows hosting? And not too expensive. Learning web design in school and learning asp.net so can't use linux anymore. :D. Have a look at Web Drive: www.webdrive.co.nz they do Windows hosting with asp.net. |

| 1241319 | 2011-11-02 00:33:00 | You could always develop your own ASP.net based message-board aswell. I was self-(google)-taught PHP, one of the first things I did was make a blog that allowed comments, which then turned into a blog for multiple users, and eventually turned into a messageboard-like system. It was fun. :) |
