PERL Web Hosting for PERL Website.  What is PERL?

PERL is a programing language unlike HTML which is a static markup language.

Using Perl programs, which are supported by most web servers, you can run dynamic pages like chat rooms, forums, e-commerce, and shopping carts (see InMotion review).

PERL allows you to take data input from forms and return response pages. Perl can also be used to run server functions, execute system commands and even network servers together. In a good programmers hands Perl can turn your website into a terminal for the users. Giving your website the same ability that any computer would have and allowing web visitors to run programs.

The biggest advantage of a Perl website is that there are thousands of free programs available for download that can be easily installed in most websites. Those programs can easily be modified to meet unique applications of your product or service.

Perl websites are fast and efficient and has very few limitations. Since it can interact with the operating system directly other programs written in C and other languages can be incorporated into the perl scripts.

HostMonter (hostmonster review) has Perl scripts to download.  With a growing base of programs such as mail forms and captcha for Perl you can access the source code and modify programs to work in your website.

You can build a form using a standard HTML page. But HTML is static and it is just a page. If you want the form data to be used by the website you need a program that will process the data and perform some action to make the data useful.

For example, you may want the form data mailed to your e-mail account. That is very simple with Perl. Just a few lines of code and your form becomes a valuable lead generator for your business.

The same is true for selling products. You can print a flyer and mail it out. But people have no way to buy directly from the flyer.

With an HTML page, the same rules apply. No way to do more than display pics and show off the product. But people expect more from a website. They expect the website to act as a live checkout and credit card processing gateway.

Perl comes to the rescue. Perl can create dynamic page outputs and even collect credit card data over encrypted channels and transmit the data via an internet gateway to the banks. Moving money from one account to another and completing the sale from any website.

If you want to run a website that does more that stare you in the face with static pages, you need a language like perl that will bridge the gap between the static HTML and the central processing unit of the server.

Using complete hosting systems like HostMonster, you can download programs to install onto your website. You wont need to learn Perl, just enjoy the fact that it works.

You don't have to know how to build a car to be able to drive one. And you don't need to learn Perl to run a shopping cart (we recommend InMotion hosting for shopping carts). But it always helps to know what is possible and what makes your website work.

Hostgator web hosting comes with a free shared SSL Certificate.

So if you're deciding between shared hosting web hosts, and know you want an SSL Cert, then choose Hostgator.

To continue to finalize their purchase, your customers would need to click on the security warning popup. This is a limitation of shared SSL certs, and obviously not an ideal usage scenerio for your customers that want to buy something from you.

How To Access Blocked Sites At Work

How to Access Blocked Sites At Work

Sometimes you just need your Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or Gmail fix at work.  But either your company blocks those sites or you don't want your employer to know you're surfing the web for personal reasons.

Either way, you could try bypassing the work internet blocks with a public proxy.  I know, most likely the public proxy's are blocked too.  Or, the public proxy's aren't reliable and go down in the middle of composing your personal email on Gmail.

Make Your Own Blocked Site Detour.  It's easy.

1 - Buy cheap web hosting from HostMonster, which is a web host that can run PHP scripts.

2 - Choose a domain name that will become your personal proxy.  The domain is free as part of your HostMonster sign-up.

2 - Download the PHProxy program here.

3 - Open your HostMonster cpanel access, go to file manager, and upload the PHProxy file.

4 - Hit the unzip button in file manager to unzip the .exe PHProxy file.

5 - Type in the personal proxy domain name on your work browser.  When the proxy page pops up, type your actual destination (gmail.com, facebook.com, etc.) into the blank address bar. 

Bingo.  You can now access blocked sites at work!
