hehe, cool and I remember some of evilair's work now that you mention it. he was talented :)
and good luck with your site.

just bought a hosting plan so I no longer host the website on my own computer. I'm tired of fending off script kiddie attacks. (none were successful ;))
I also registered a new domain http://www.guineacode.com for some programming tutorials/experiments/whatever I feel like putting up that doesn't belong in my portfolio.
Both domains share the same host I'm just redirecting siliconemilk.com to a folder in guineacode.com's root.
Also, I have subdomains up. Should be able to type siliconemilk.guineacode.com to get siliconemilk.com but I'm waiting for the changes to propagate to see if the rerouting's successful or not. Likewise, guineacode.siliconemilk.com should take you to www.guineacode.com

Ha.. love the new name! Self hosting is more trouble than it's worth these days so I'm not surprised you ended up buying o_O
silicone_milk:
Thanks :)
I've always had issues with web hosts which is why I had chosen to self-host lately but my PC simply isn't meant to be a web server. Plus it puts the other computers on my LAN at risk for attack as well.
I just got through with a 6 hour struggle in DNS Management hell.
I have a machine on my network that I like to connect to through ssh to upload/download source code.
My domain name no longer points to the ip address of my router so I can't get to the ssh server through my domain name.
I contacted my host provider wondering if it would be possible to alter the DNS records so all ssh traffic ended up going to my router rather than to their web servers. The answer was "I'm not sure." then 20 minutes later "No you can't." then I was hung up on.
I had an idea after that to create a new A record for a subdomain of my site which, with my infinite wit, named ssh, points to my routers ip address.
So siliconemilk.com and www.siliconemilk.com points to my host ip address.
ssh.siliconemilk.com points to my home ip address.
Now I can access my ssh server as usual through a slight modification in address. I can type ssh://ssh.siliconemilk.com and get at the machine I want to get at :)

I'm disappointed because a good friend told me this host was great and I should move my site to their servers. I've had a 5 minute downtime in less than 24 hours (guaranteed 99.9% uptime) and dealt with rude, incompetent tech support.
I'm not naming them because they don't deserve any additional google brownie points from me. But I'm sure you can guess what it is when I say the first part of the name is host and the second part is the kind of creature Godzilla is. (You need to watch more Godzilla films if you're guessing gator...)
kat:
Hmm. not good getting support like that (with "H057 M0n573r"). I seem to have lucked out with the Co. I use. Be mindful that what you're doing isn't against their general terms and conditions some hosting companies are a bit funny that way.
[EDIT] just realised this means your images are down... make sure you re-establish the structure so they pop back into place.
