The domain and hosting site for students is almost nothing

    Sooner or later, many students come to the conclusion that they need their own site. It doesn’t matter if this is a personal page, an educational project or a startup - anyway, to publish a site on the network, you need at least 3 things — the site itself, the domain for it, and hosting. I won’t tell you how to make a site in this post, but please how to use the latest offers from registrars and hosters.

    Let's start with the domain. The company .masterhost until December 31 this year holds a promotion “ Domain as a holiday ”, according to which anyone can buy a domain in the zone .RU for only 196 rubles for the whole year. Agree, pretty profitable.

    Domain bought. Now you need to choose a cheaper hosting for it, but with a good quality of service. I have for you 2 whole options. And both of them are valid only for students.

    Hosting from the already familiar .masterhost company. For quite some time, they, together with Microsoft, announced the availability of the “ Student ” tariff , according to which you can get a third-level domain (type example.studenthost.ru) for free, 500MB free site space, IIS7, SL3 support, high-quality technical service and many more bonuses. It should be noted that this type of hosting is not intended for commercial activities. An already acquired second-level domain can be added as a synonym (alias). For scientific and educational organizations there is Unix hosting at the tariff “Educational . ”

    Today, a second, much more interesting option has become available - a joint offer from Microsoft and Parking.ru. Full hosting for students for very modest money. For only 50 rubles a month you can get 500MB of disk space, support for ASP.NET 3.5, MVC, PHP5 (with Zend Optimizer), SSI, SQL Server 2008 WE / MySQL and other goodies. The usual price of such a hosting is 230 rubles per month. Saving 2160 rubles a year! Fans of virtualization can take a virtual machine: ½ core, 512 MB RAM, with 25 GB disk space, 200 MB mail and Windows Web Server 2008R2 on board. It will cost only 300 rubles per month of use (the usual price is 800 rubles / month). To participate in the promotion you must be registered in the programDreamspark . All details can be found on the action website .

    As you can see, making your site accessible to other Internet users is quite simple and cheap. Especially if you are a student :)
