I am currently using bluehost as a webhost for my website, but I am not a fan of their email client. When I log into their mail client it presents me with three options to use and they are all rather unappealing (visually)...
Is there a way that I can make mail.MYURL.com and create my own custom mail client?
I have searched the web and couldn't find anything, but there should be a way...
If I needed to I could use php & javascript, but I have no idea where to start.
You can. There are a lot of webmail implementation (in form of web apps, think Wordpress) such as Squirrelmail or Roundcube.
Serverfreak does a visual comparison of popular webmail clients here:
http://wow.serverfreak.com/2011/webmail-squirrelmail-roundcube-horde/
Those webmails typically requires server side scripting (such as PHP) and POP3/IMAP support to retrieve your mail. Both are pretty much standard features for a webhost. So if you are comfortable of setting up web apps, things shouldn't be that hard.
That said you're using Bluehost which happens to use CPanel. CPanel offers various webmail options readily chosen at your disposal.
See Bluehost official guide on how to use them:
https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/webmail
Alternatively, since you are concerned about visual appeal, you can always use desktop e-mail client such as Thunderbird/Outlook, or even use popular webmail such as GMail (via Google Apps) and Windows Live Mail (via Live hosted mail) mapped to your own domain name.

I am trying to set up a website with MediaWiki on a Shared Hosting service and am getting frustrating results. First I am going to list what I want out of my website and will show the hosting details to show you what kinds of problems I am running into here:
So the main objective of the website is to run a database of events in human history (relating to World War 2)
I want to use the Visual Editor extension to create a more visual style to edit articles (which requires Parsoid) so that editors won’t have to go through the pain of using the old wiki editor and memorizing the different characters needed for specific things and so that editing the whole thing won’t look like a complete mess.
I want to make it so that only selected accounts/people can create and edit content on the site.
I want to be able to have some sort of forum so that people can ask questions and communicate with each other.
I want my site to have a certain kind of style (which I know is a skin but was wondering what's the best way to create one is. Also, do skins also come with the ability to customize the site to have certain functions? Because I have seen sites like halopedia which seems to be running on MediaWiki but have a lot of different kinds of functions and all that. )
I want to create some sort of email system for my thing (although I could just maybe use another service which would be easier)
These are pretty much the main things that I want but there are some smaller things that I can ask how to do some other time as they are not mandatory right now. Here are the details for the hosting service that I use for the website just to give you guys a better understanding of my situation here.
I am using Bluehost as the hosting service and cPanel as the file management system
The website is currently on a shared hosting plan and the best one that I could get without spending a lot a month.
I used Softaculous to download MediaWiki onto my website.
One of the main things that I have been having trouble with is installing Parsoid to install the VisualEditor extension onto the site. The problem is that to install Parsoid you need Node.js which I can’t install on my hosting service because it is shared hosting. However I tried following the instructions on the page that shows you how to do it using Heroic but have been having trouble with that too.
If you wait a few weeks, MediaWiki 1.35 will be released with a PHP implementation of Parsoid.

Given:
Suppose that I have a website called "exampledomain.com", and that on that website, I have one file called "my_doc.html", the full URL address of which is "https://www.exampledomain.com/my_directory/my_doc.html". (Not my actual website; this is just hypothetical).
Objecive:
I'm trying to develop a Client-Side Application, using C++ & Windows Sockets, that downloads my HTML file, parses it, extracts some specific information, runs some calculations, and displays its results to the user.
Question:
How do I download the HTML file from the server to the directory "C:/ExampleDirectory/" on the client-side computer, using the Windows Sockets Library?*
Clarification:
I want to write this Client-side program to work with the existing website. IE: I want it to download the file in the same way that an Internet-Browser like Microsoft Edge would.
Edit:
Just to clarify, the server uses a secure, account-based system, and thus the document would be transferred using HTTPS. I'm not really sure if this would effect the solution, but I thought it'd be worth mentioning.
Don't.
A socket library is not an appropriate tool to talk with a web-server. http is complex enough that you want to use a specialized http library. There are several such libraries available. curllib springs to mind. And of course there is the WinHttp tag https://stackoverflow.com/tags/winhttp/info.
And for the html part, you'd want to use an html parsing library to extract the desired info.

I am in need of some help, here is what i have...I have build a Access Database using 2013 and have placed it on our company network. The database is updated frequently of visitors signing in and out. What i am trying to do is view the database like a report or select* from table1 (something like that) I would like to view this by HTML from browser (file://) as i will be using a IPAD that is connected to our network. I am looking for some insight our other possible ways this might work
Thanks in advance
Does your company use SharePoint?
I just created a web database relatively easily that is hosted on sharepoint.
You should be able to import your tables pretty easily.
Possibly relevant:
Move Access Web Database to Another Sharepoint Site
If you going to build a web interface, then you need to use web development tools.
You can of course adopt terminal services, and thus consume the application on an iPad or any device that supports remote desktop protocol (RDP).
And you can now “eliminate” the need for a RDP client since technology does exist that converts RDP to pure HTML5. Check out:
https://www.cybelesoft.com/thinfinity/remote-desktop/
In fact there is even an open source one here:
http://guac-dev.org/
The above will thus let you run existing Access applications in a browser – you need a server running remote desktop for this purpose.
As several mentioned, you can also adopt Access web publishing, but that choice does not support VBA, nor does it support existing forms etc. (you have to re-build your forms as access web forms and no conversion of existing forms exists).

I was wondering what's the difference between an ASP.NET site and developing a site with Notepad++ ?
I know that ASP.NET can work with servers and C# and things. Also I know that you can create an HTML file in Visual Studio so you can do that instead of Notepad++.
Also I know that with ASP.NET you can have Master Pages but not with an HTML file and Master Pages are much easier than copy and past on a lot of different sites.
Also can you develop a simple site with ASP.NET, no servers, just a site for people to get a contact detail and find out about your company? Because I really like master pages.
Your question is showing a complete lack of knowledge on this stuff. Before going to a job interview, you should go through some tutorials (you can find plenty on YouTube) and/or read some books on web site development. Otherwise I fear your interviewer will think something along the lines of "this guy just read a bunch of computer terms online and strung them together without understanding any of them". I know that may sound harsh, but I want to make sure you go into your interview prepared.
ASP.NET uses server side code to generate output. At the end of the day, it's just serving up HTML, CSS, JavaScript etc to the client. You can create "plain" HTML sites (non ASP.NET sites) with Visual Studio, or you can write the code for ASP.NET sites with Notepad (or event a command line text editor). At some point, though ASP.NET sites will need to be compiled before they can be served to a client via a web server.
No, you can't build a site with ASP.NET and run it without a server. You must have a server. Wikipedia has a nice entry on the Client-Server model.

Here is a simplifed example.
I have a c program that runs as a daemon on an embedded linux system. For example we will say the program is a calculator that just does addition.
When someone starts the program, I would like a web server to be launched on the system that allows people to remotely use the calculator. The webserver will just serve a simple html page with 1 button "solve" and two input boxes. When someone clicks solve the numbers in the text box need to be sent to the c program, and then the solution needs to be sent back to the web server and displayed on the website.
I hope this isn't overly broad, but I'm just looking for what technologies would be used to accomplish this and a brief overview of how they interact, and hopefully I can take it from there and start digging in.
You don't need to start an external web server. Since your app is a deamon, you could use some HTTP server library inside your application -i.e. have an embedded HTTP server thru that library, e.g. D.Moreno's libonion, GNU libmicrohttpd, EHS, Mongoose etc..
If you already have an external web server, you could configure it to proxy your internal application web service, or make your application a FastCgi (or maybe SCGI) server.
PS. You need to be familiar with HTML5, HTTP, POST request of HTTP, ...
As the interaction is taken place between processes, I think you need interprocess communication mechanism here. However, you may not allowed to change the code of webserver. Here's some thing may help you:
Use database (mysql) which you can use sql to insert/fetch data both sides.
If you use Php or someother script language, try Sockets
