Got another quick php.ini tutorial to share with you today. It is really easy to use a php.ini file to increase your PHP upload limit. Lots of scripts ask you to do this so that you can upload larger files. By default, the server and PHP limit you on how much content you can upload at once. By tweaking this setting though, you can bump it up some.

How to Create a php.ini File
When you are working on a website, a php.ini file can be used for a lot of neat things. More times than not, it is used to increase your upload limit. Are you in the need for a php.ini file, but your web hosting account is lacking one? You can create your own and upload it to the right spot after following a few simple steps.
FTP Basics
If you want to be able to work with your website on a server, you have to learn the basics of FTP. So, let us start with the basics. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. To simplify it, it is the protocol which allows files to be transferred across the Web. Using a special program called an FTP client, you can gain access to the files (documents, files and more) that are on your hosting account. You can also edit file permissions, upload and download content too.
Quick Publishing with Pen.io
For many people, the idea of purchasing a web hosting account, registering a domain and then uploading some type of script like WordPress to handle the back end of things is a rather challenging task. Thank goodness there are still resources like pen.io that make it easy to publish just about anything you want to online.
Oh Hai VPS Server!
Hello, you might be wondering where my websites and I have been over the last few days – and let me see if I can explain. I have moved all four of my websites (mitchkeeler.com, mitchelaneous.com, firefoxfacts.com and webhostingshow.com) all to their own virtual private server (otherwise known as a VPS). So, I am back, and just happen to be wearing black.
Now to get to all the geeky details, for those of you wondering…
