Dear Khalsa Ji,

Anyone know of a good host for hosting a large Sikh related website?

We were looking at Google AppEngine, since we would prefer the option of Java hosting. Are there any others(other than Amazon EC2) that anyone could recommend?

We have also looked at GoDaddy for general webhosting, does anyone have experience of using them?

Thanks in advance.

It really depends on what your website will be about. If it is text based then any hosting is okay. There are 2 types of hosting; Linux based and windows based. Linux based got Cpanel and windows type got the plesk panel. I believe that 90% of the hosting are Linux based.

Take a look at www.HostGator.com and make sure that your plan offers cpanel which is basically a front end where you can add subdomains, email address, forwarding, scripts like wordpress, joomla etc. Cpanel makes job bit easier. Godaddy is also a good choice (use coupons from retailmenot.com). I used both companies and they are good.

Any plan should not cost you over $10 a month if your website will be more about text rather than video/audio stuff.

Hope this helps.

It depends on your needs, no?

Try getting an ultra cheap 1-year signup for a few dollars to play with the linux-based hosting (Cpanel admin UI). Here's one (google deal sites for more):

$2.88 for one year, https://netoctave.com/clients/cart.php?gid=5

Coupon code: PORTFOLIO65

If you find it works for your needs, cpanel may be the way to go. There are hundreds of hosting providers to choose from, all very affordable.

If on the other hand you need the advanced application and admin capabilities of Google App Engine or Amazon Web Services, those two are highly reliable and well-supported options.

For AWS, you can apply for an Amazon Educational Grant. Here's how: sign up for an online course (Coursera.org or Udacity.com for example) that uses cloud services or web programming. Then use that course name to apply for a grant here: http://aws.amazon.com/education/terms/

Amazon will give you a $100 grant in AWS credits very quickly, good for atleast two years. This will help you get familiar with AWS and decide if that's the route you prefer.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
