Subject Introducing me...

Hi All,

New to dream host and just wanted to introduce myself, If you haven't already guessed my name is Dan :) I'm fairly new to web authoring, I've been doing it on and off since 1997 back when I used my ISP's website for static pages a little later on I used Yahoo mail plus for a basic URL redirect to my ISP space.

Lately, I've just started registering domains like crazy. I started out with GoDaddy and their hosting, quickly learned that GoDaddy is the Wal-Mart of the hosting world and went to 1and1. I have to say I am still fairly satisifed with 1and1 my only "beef" was the 100 MB cap on mySQL databases which isn't going to work well once I fully get my forum off the ground.

So here I sit waiting for my DNS updates to progate, I updated them last night and was able to reach a couple domains 2 or 3 times. Stupidly I canceled my 1and1 hosting before the DNS settings completely took effect which means anyone going to my domains are getting a 403 error!

My newest domain (free with dreamhost) is itsmedan.com quite frankly I couldn't resist the free domain it's just a personal homepage right now and will probably stay that way. :)

aah so you're used to 403 errors... you'll be right at home here.

I've been hosting my domains here for over 6 months and this is a common screen...

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Enjoy DH :D
