Fortunately for me, the powers-that-be finally listened and declared us a FireFox shop. Prior to that it was IE8.
I developed everything to work in both.
Now I don't.

Hello all,
Today I wanted to add a PDF document into my LinkedIn profile... something as easy as that should work flawlessly, but every time I've tried to make it I've got a message telling me it has not been possible to attach the document, that I should refresh the page and try it again... Of course this is not the end of the world, but I would like to know if anyone here has managed to get it done.
The PDF document is much more smaller than what is allowed and I've tried it with IE11 and Chrome...
Any idea?
Thank you all!

open the debugger console in your browser and look for some strange messages. 
Try Firefox.
Press F1 for help or google it.

Have you considered asking LinkedIn directly?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, and I must confess here that I have not searched extensively, but I have not found how to make it...

When you ask a question in the LinkedIn help forum/group/whatever, that guy who lives on linkedIn 15 hours a day will post a response informing you that you are misusing the system which was not designed to accommodate your goals and purposes.
This includes sending a PDF report to the new stranger you've just met and with whom you are significantly considering a future relationship that could produce a legal company, product, employment of others, taxes to the government, economic benefits galore for the local economy, and other such trivial things.
Irrespective of all that, you will be labeled as a spamming, trolling, abusive person who is deliberately, willfully, maliciously, and flagrantly misusing their system, on purpose, with harmful intent deeply ingrained in your state of mind.

Now there's a story I want to hear about.

I have never been able to attach any document on LinkedIN.
No matter how small.

Okay, hope this rant isn't too off-topic.
What I want to know is why can't I find any decent review sites for Web Hosting?? So, I'm hoping to dip my toes into the world of creating my own website. I've got a modest budget (~$50 p/yr or so) and limited experience. I thought I would do some research about which Web Hosting (and domain registration) services are most recommended (shouldn't be too difficult, right?), but I was amazed that I couldn't find ANY decent review sites! Of course, there are dozens of websites that claim to provide reviews for Web Hosting, but they are all somewhere between useless and ridiculous. I found several reviews sites that gave 4.5-5 stars for every single Web Hoster. Another reviewer began every single review with, "This is another great company...". And none of them provide useful cost comparisons; they only list the entry price. I don't CARE that HipHopWebStop has Plans that "start from" $2 p/month! That doesn't tell me anything about what the service is really going to cost. ("You too can get started for ONLY TWO CENTS A WEEK!!*" *[Prices subject to change. 30 year contract required. Price adjusted to $17 per day after the first fortnight. $5 p/hr extra for javascript support.])
What the world needs (IMHO) is a side-by-side comparison of the top 10 or 20 Web Hosting companies including actual 1-yr, 2-yr, 3-yr costs, what features are included for free, how much all the "extras" cost, technical specs (OS, languages, database support, etc), and HONEST USER REVIEWS about things like tech support, uptime, bandwidth and overall experience. If anybody can find (or build) a review site like this, could you please let me know about it?
Thank you. I'm done now.

If you are on the business of making a new web site, don't start doing anything unless you've read all the SEO guidelines out there...
Once you've started getting indexed any change is like starting from scratch.

As I understand it, they all suck.

Why? Web hosting is not a car that you buy every few years so comparisons may be valuable. I think most of us pick one then stick to it if they provide good service or change otherwise.
Also considering limited "supply" of hosting companies I don't see any way to verify the reviews are not "sponsored". Instead if you are looking for a hosting try to find 2-3 that you heard of before, check if they have features you are interested in and SLA and then google them for problems people may have with them.
No review site will provide you such information like constant support topics of "site goes down constantly" or "network is crawling at peak hours".

Web hosting is not a car
Yeah, but fifty bucks is fifty bucks. I dont want to get stuck with a Hoster that's going to charge me an arm and an elbow for things that i don't even know I'm going to need yet. (Like Whois protection or whatever). And, I know you can't guarantee non-sponsored reviews on public sites (all user-review sites are apparently 20-50% astroturf), but a savvy reader ought to be able to sift through that. What I'm looking for is large groups of experienced users saying, "I've used this for x years and I've been pleased with uptime", etc.

I'm sorry to say that but $50 a year is actually quite cheap. Mind that it actually is a beer once a month (maybe 2 depending where you live).
For that price you can get a good deal for hobby site and to try some things, but if you want hosting for high profile, high availability and high traffic site that also needs fast and large database and maybe some other services it will easily burn that $50 in minutes
Than again. Do your research and if you are not sure what you are buying then don't go for 2 year contract first

1: DO NOT USE ARVIXE. They have suddenly become terrible.
2: Moved to SmarterASP.Net [^]. So far, so good.
3: Eventually, push everything to Amazon. May cost a little more but is probably worth it.
Good luck - if you get stuck... you're on your own.

Set up a free Amazon EC2 instance with your poison of choice (Ubuntu, Windows, whatever), with or without Apache/Passenger/IIS, with or without PostgreSQL, SQL Server Express, SQLite even, and start coding. I use namecheap for registering a domain and it's easy to point it to the EC2 instance, just define an elastic IP (horrible name) first.
Me personally, I just use my own web server rather than go the IIS/ASP.NET/Razor/MVC route, but you can easily set that up too if you want to go more mainstream.
Once you've got the EC2 instance set up, I'd suggest option A: set up FileZilla (do not use their installer, it's full of malware crap for some reason) and follow the steps in this[^] excellent CP article on configuring the ports.
Option B: I also use a Bitvise SSH server[^] along with WinSCP, which I find easier to use than FTP.
However, I typically keep both services turned off unless I need them. Once you set up an EC2 instance (or anything anywhere on the cloud, you'll find China starts trying to hack your site within minutes. Yes, minutes.)
When you're ready for the big time, look at StartSSL[^] to go https with a free certificate.
Total cost to you in dollars, zero.

Some very intriguing advice, here. Thanks. I'm going to have to sift through it. (Dumb question: what's the FileZilla/Bitvise step for? Is that the only way to transfer my content to EC2?) (2nd dumb question: what do I have to worry about regarding Chinese hackers?)
