Hi check out my site and tell me if you like it

www.tancosin.com

i know there isnt much on it at the moment but its getting there

btw if anyone knows any SEO tricks plz tell , im completely noob at that

Trigonometry?
tan cos sin

haha yup i thought it sounded cool

Really neat, I like it. :) I thought the name was funny as well. :p

The website looks nice. Skillz!

Looks nice, does it lag? or is it just my connection?

i think it is my webhost , i didnt have moeny to buy paid hosting so i went with a free one , is the lag real bad ?

It's not loading for me… (try 000webhost if you want a good free server, or 24hosting if you need a really cheap/great one!)

Is TanCosSin what they use in the states? It's Soh-Cah-Toa here.

I think it's just the shortened version of their names together, whereas yours is a memory trick to help you remember that:

sin = opposite/hypotenuse
cos = adjacent/hypotenuse
tan = opposite/adjacent.

PS - We too, use Soh-Cah-Toa here in Australia.

The webpage doesn't load for me.

Offtopic but:

Sin = overstaande / schuine
Cos = aanliggende / schuine
tan = overstaande / aanliggende

Our memory trick is: Sos-Cas-Toa

naw it isn't that bad

if google isp ever comes here I'll host it free for you :p it'd be instant now but I need bandwidth for myself =[

Looks awesome man!
I've always wanted my own website… But I never knew what to make it about…

Couple points of helpful criticism:

1) Your Gadgets/Green tech have nothing on them so…. Yea.

2) How come Apps has a drop-down menu of only one selection, while others don't?

3) As you go to the bottom, there is tooooooo much space.

4) I don't know what going on with your forums.

5) Members area, at the top, doesn't work.

6) FAQ area, at the top, could not be found.

7) Apparently you cannot be contacted, because that button takes you back to the home page…

8) Random article will only give the same article everytime?

9) You should put the very bottom Join button, underneath the subscribe. Then put the logo again in its place.

10) Couldn't find it, page accidentally closed :P

Well, here are 10 points, hope they help.

From your helpful critic of all things in existence,

almost half of that can be solved by his:

Ahh well I like the site itself it looks quite nice! BUT as curious as I am, I viewed the source and saw:

swagger/style.css

Swag? Couldn't you name it something else? LOL.. Oh well. Nice site though.

P.S. Swag used to be an acronym for: Secretly We Are Gay.

Not sure what you've done about hosting, but if you're serious about getting views and this site going somewhere then you need paid hosting. Go with the basic Hostgator package, it will be good enough for now. I've used them for years and they've always treated me right.

As far as content, how are you getting it? Is it copied or original content?

Hey I'll just throw it out there, you probably want to install some security plugins with wordpress, something to at least protect you from those mass attacks sent out (scripted). Something that changes your login from asdf.com/wp-admin/ to something else. Also, you seriously should backup your site regularly!!! I just had a friend whose wordpress site was hacked (he was running it for our local hockey team/arena) and their backup was ancient so he had a ton of work to do restoring the site.
EDIT: security
EDIT2: an interesting article displaying a WP site being hacked in under 2 min: this

Thanks alot guys for the feedback

JoeyGupta : I know there is alot of things not working , i will get onto these problems as fast as i can :)

Brandon : Yes im not a fan of the word "swag" either but its from a style theme that I am using renaming that file will give me headache.

Mjordan : thanks for the suggestion I will look into hostgator , and most of the content is original , i have rewritten some articles less than 10% .

cause : i never knew there were alot of security loops thanks again

:)

wow pretty cool site man :p

Agree, I get attacks: (for privacy I cut off some stuff)

but as an example, lots of chinese bots that scan through like 50 directories in a couple seconds for defaults of things.. not that I'd ever use shitty php my admin or anything -.-

Why do they hack your site/s?
I've always wondered what people get out of it.

There's nothing to hack on my site, they're all automated programs that ignore my domain name and go straight to my IP address and scan that shit, but there's absolutely nothing there except a 404 page for my IP address that says "there are multiple sites hosted" or some shit like that.. and all the 404 pages have a gorilla flipping people off

for example:
http://greggrats.com/asdasd

you can ping my site for IP address (ping will be blocked but you get the IP) and go to that IP address, to see what I mean about.. there's nothing there, lol.


they actually do this all over my domains but every single one for every domain also targets my IP address and does those checks within the same few seconds

Oh god, I'm screen-capping that, that was hilarious!

Why do they do this though? Are they looking for credit cards and stuff like that?
Are people singling you out, or is it just random? Just automated hacking programs that are sprawled out everywhere?
I have no idea when it comes to this sort of stuff.

yea, I mean if their bots detect a phpmyadmin they can go in and access all database stuff probably.. and/or credit cards if some shitty mom & pop site has them all stored some horrible way ;p

and it's super random, a lot of chinese though.. I haven't really seen anything other than chinese and maybe like 2 russian IP's in past month or so

those logs I s/s'd is like a frequent thing every few hours =[


and yea they're definitely spiders of some sort, it is 1 client that access all those locations within a few seconds.. it isn't like a multi tabbed connection that hits all of them at the same time, this 1 thing (program or whatever) that hits each of them separately within like 2 seconds.. so it's too fast to be a human really


also I got no idea about it either, I just know what I know from watching my servers get hit lol

grats do u host ur own server ?

yes, multiple servers, working on another one with an extreme amount of power compared to my others, and then hopefully google internet will be here Q_Q

maybe I can host villavu free then so it isn't slow as hell lol

is it profitable business ? or atleast earn back ur expenses ?

Man that's crazy, that would get to me SO bad.
I'd have panic attacks like crazy.
I hope everything goes well… I hope they stop that shit so you don't have to worry about it.

How many websites do you host, and what are they for? Do you make much revenue out of ads?
Also, what is google internet?

Just ignore these questions if you wish, I feel like such a noob asking these things.

Yea my forums have paid for all my stuff with just donations for hosting pretty much anything they want me to, mostly people I've known like 5+ years on the internet

I have zero ads, I don't like them, when I have more bandwidth probably make some random dumb blog sites for people to use free with ads or something idk.. lol

Yea I didn't like it at first, then I realized it was pretty normal.. and I make all my code 100% myself so there's no like security flaws, because I make it extremely non user friendly for myself, I do all the stuff through just code instead of having CMS type stuff (but I do, not much, and it isn't live :P) just to be learning code.. going to be learning python to rebuild a forum sometime when I have time, rather get my new server first and then learn some of the python because I am pretty decent in php and I like to be decent in every language, python is one I'm very interested in and possibly go to the extreme with it

My other post would answer your question about the ads and such, I'm pretty much all donation ran google internet is googles ISP, no trickery in the words.. and I host like 5 total, for some friends who do development and stuff, because servers you purchase hosting from are shitty for huge php scripts and my machines will tackle thousand line scripts in a second
google ISP is coming around kansas city pretty soon, google announced it a few years back.. should be up and going in a few months there, for 1gbps (1000mbps or 128MB/s) internet which is $70/month.. 100 times faster than average persons internet and the same price/cheaper in some cases
this is something (in my view, as I work in the networking field) that should have happened 20 years ago, because we did have that fiber technology but we didn't want to spend the money.. now we gotta do it anyway.
my brothers girlfriend works for a company that owns the company that works for google and lays down the fiber lines around cities, they're working on Denver (where I live) so it should be here pretty soon I hope… few years = pretty soon to me, I'd give me soul for that speed and easily make it back by hosting 1000 sites

Man, that's so awesome. I'm glad it works out so well for you! It's really cool to see!

Since I live in Australia, we're a long way away from getting the fiber wires yet… But tell me how it works out, I'd love to know.
Good luck, buddy.

You guys have a decent layout going down one of my friends down there is working on it, 100mbps connection to every house by like 2014 or something (I forgot) but that will be great for you guys, the only speed issue then is crossing the oceans because nothing is hosted on your island :P

and yea I never imagined I'd actually make money on this, it's sort of my hobby.. to most people I work & do the same crap at home.. but networking and routers isn't really similar to server and web programming stuff at all. However I've started to do everything for work now because I'm pretty good at it, at least for small businesses… and I need a way to make a good $ for my hobby this way I can get more power and give stuff out for free.. the extreme internet boost will be the start of that. I'm kind of like google where as long as my shit gets paid for I'm happy to give everything free :P

ok its been like a month but i took advice and got paid hosting and now im actually making money 0_0 , well not much but its more than what i have to pay for hosting and im rarely doing any work on it atm cuz of uni and stuff .

What i really need is some writers now lol
