Don't panic Mr Cameron .... just keep calm and carry on
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-28967904
Cameron is so arrogant he won't change but today it was announced that net migration to the UK was 243,000 last year, Cameron has promised 50,000. He and his Old Etonian cronies seem to be the only people that don't realize there is a problem ..... he talks tough but acts like a pussy !!

Behaviorism
According to Wikipedia, “The behaviorist school of thought maintains that behaviors as such can be described scientifically without recourse either to internal physiological events or to hypothetical constructs such as thoughts and beliefs.”

Do you think this is appropriate? If so, does that make you optimistic or pessimistic about the prospects for human happiness?

Fairly Cheap Website Hosting and Webdesign
€7,50/month, €90/year to host a site with up to 5 GB of space and monthly bandwidth, my help when needed, many 1-click installations, webmail accounts for your domain, excellent reliability and English support. Easy. Quite all-inclusive except domain registration. That’s £5,99/month or $9.93/month. International transactions cost a bit too. Prices change. You can make me a personal offer. Price for webdesign depends on workload but think 3 digits. More inside.
steephie22 (182 D(S))

Some other things to mention on hosting:
I am willing to pay money back to you if things don’t work correctly for you and I can’t fix it either.
You know exactly what you pay for a specific period, and for that period, your space and everything coming with it is certainly yours with no changes in costs after said payment. As I mentioned before though, prices may change, so unless I agree otherwise with you, I may not offer the space for the same price when you want to renew the deal. So basically, if you want a guaranteed price for a period, you should pay for that period or make another agreement with me. The price would be a matter of supply and demand, basically.
Send me a private message if you want to take one of my offers, ask questions and/or negotiate a personal deal.
Now, webdesign. Right now I know html and css when it comes to coding languages. That’s layout and styling, very simply put. I do know quite some tricks that use other code and I am continuously learning and willing to learn. Basically, I can do a lot of things but certainly not everything. If you’re interested, the easiest way to find out wether I can help you is simply to shoot me a message and tell me what kind of site you want and what it needs to do. Even if you don’t know what you want, I might be able to help if you ask.
In general though, taking this site as an example, stuff like posting threads and replies or processing orders are not things you can do with just html and css. Again though, even if you want all those 3 things, feel free to shoot me a message. There’s all kinds of widgets and stuff that I could use without knowing exactly how to make the code myself, and by the time you ask I may have learned a lot, or I can perhaps find you a guy that can do it or something.
Don’t be afraid to ask/say *anything*!
Something I should probably note as well is that I’m a 16-year-old Dutch guy (almost 17 though!). I’m told I handle this quite professionally and everything, but I still feel like it would be more open to mention it. I think it’s safe to say that shouldn’t be a problem since I think it’s safe to say that my English is pretty good and I’ve done this stuff before so I have some experience as well.
Basically I can help with pretty much every part of the process. Just ask in a Private Message. I can help with domain registration as well. I can help figure out international transactions too.

First to take hosting for a year can get a .org.uk, .me.uk or .co.uk domain registered for free that year if desired. If that's not desired, some other discount or an extra month for free or similar can be done.
Note that I'm willing to offer sharper prices for the total if you take more than one product, so that's if you want to host several sites or one site with my webdesign for example.

Contact me.
steephie22 (182 D(S))

Also, you can host a second domain for €4,50 , a third domain for €3 and a fourth domain for just €1! That's nice if you want multiple sites of course, but can also be used to make several aliases for one site if desired, so there are several urls leading to one site. This can be useful if you want multiple extensions or if you want to cover common spelling mistakes, alternate spellings or abbreviations.
This offer is compatible with the offer above. Only one domain can be registered for free though, and that only counts for the first to take that offer.

Let me get this straight. You're trying to charge people $10 a month for you to host their websites on some other hosting service and you want them to pay separately for the domain registration and web design?

What service are you even offering?

For the Low Low cost of 19.99$ you too can own a copy of my new book "My Balls". It is a great tale about two balls, who bounce together and exercise together. Through thick or thin they are bound to each other. Suggested for night time reading to your children. Great moral tale.

@Jamie: Heh, touché.

@ghug: Well, I was asked to stop by kestas but since you're asking and the other site owner and mods don't disapprove I suppose I can answer this..

First of all, you can make me a personal offer, and you should if you'd do it for less. Second, multiple products make for a relatively cheaper deal (e.g. if you want a domain registered, a site designed and hosting all at once, I doubt you can find cheaper). Third, as far as I've seen, cheaper deals involve bad quality/service/interface and the same quality as my deal is slightly more expensive. Fourth, the price was sort of set like this because someone else said he wanted it for this price. I figured I'd set the standard price at that for now. Now he doesn't answer anymore though, so I suppose I can lower the price without confusing/pissing off said person.. I did think it was perhaps a bit high as a standard offer, but it was worth a try I figured. I already planned to lower the price if the other client changed his mind.

@2ndWhiteLine: thanks for mentioning it. I'll throw in an online shopping cart for free too! More than that is something I'd need to think about but for now I assume you're joking anyway so it matters little. If you're not joking tell me :-)

I'll gladly hear your advice (/offers if you want a site hosted yourself), guys. What price would work? Anything else that could increase my profit?

Open to suggestions.

Meanwhile, could one of the site owners please inform me on their policy once they've come to agreement? This was just answering questions and asking advice so I would say this doesn't really count as advertising.
steephie22 (182 D(S))

That last post wasn't advertising, that is. The thread is of course, but last time I asked it was fine, as long as you don't create an account for the sole purpose of advertising etc.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
26 Aug 14 UTC
I also have a silver badge, so I think it's safe to say that I'm not just here for free advertising. I know donation doesn't get you privileges, I just wanted to point out more clearly that I'm not on this site for advertising.

I also just noticed that it looks like the domain registration is £5,99/month or $9,93/month in the thread message. "That" should of course refer to the €7,50/month for hosting. Domain registration is more like €10/year.

Gunboat support moves
I'm in a no messaging anonymous player game where I was dislodged because one player supported another into my territory. How common is it that without messaging a player would know the exact move to make to assist another? Should I report this to the mods? It just seems suspicious as there theoretically shouldn't be a way for the two players to communicate....
