Another .mac update?

Why does that intro show different protocols like ftp, ssh, and why does it show php?



Are they gonna update it again and actually offer a real hosting platform? God I hope so...but they have to do it in the next 22 days =)



Am I missing something?

    Yeah- that is pretty strange- if they did that it would seriously rock.

    I would love it if .mac's homepage was upgraded to a real hosting package, however; I just think that when they said php in the intro, they ment something along the lines of the web pages that homepage creates already? *shrugs*

    What are you talking about? You can create your own web page using whatever program you like and host it at .mac.

    Yes but when he means "real" hosting, he's talking about php,mysql,ssh,ftp access, etc etc...

    You have a Mac, and probably a high speed internet connection. Get a static IP and register a domain name so you can host your own website, FTP server, etc.

    Yeah I know, but I was just saying that it definitely would be cool of .mac had ftp, php and stuff seeing that I pay for that (current .mac service) already.

    Because that stuff is confusing. The point of the ad is that with .Mac you don't have to know what all those things mean. It's simple. It just works.
