I'm thinking about starting an ecommerce site. Just curious if anyone has any experience. I know obviously Jeremy has experience in running a site but if anyone else has experience and insight I would appreciate it. Basic questions would be can I outsource the hosting or is it something where I would need to purchase a server myself. That's one question but I'm sure I'll have many. Anyone interested in being a business partner I would consider it!!

How much traffic do you plan to get a month? Unless you plan on 100K plus visitors you don't need a dedicated server or a VPS. If you do a shared server which will be fine you can always upgrade in a matter of hours to something better if you see performance issues. Do not use Godaddy or HodtGator, they are horrible... I suggest HostNine, DreamHost, BleHost or 1&1. You can plan on spending under $15 tops a month to start but probably closer to $5.

Products will probably be in the 1-2k range. Seriously doubt traffic would be 100k plus but if so I'd have no problem paying a higher hosting fee. Do I have an option to buy the domain name from anyone other than godaddy? It's 12 bucks so not a big deal. Just asking. Would payments be secure through hostnine?

The domain can be bought through anyone and then you just update your name servers through your domain control panel to point at whatever you want it hosted. Secure hosting requires an SSL certificate no matter who you host with. Should run about $70 per year.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)

      looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
