My Virtual Locations
I started creating websites when, one day, we went to the library and my mother said "Why don't you find something new?" I started from the begining of the non-fiction section and, what do you know, computers are 001-004 in the dewey decimal system. I picked up a book about HTML and moved on from there.
Most of my sites are written in PHP with Standards-Compliant XHTML, Javascript, and CSS.

YMKatz.net
This is my main Web Site, where I put real stuff. There is nothing really there yet except as a jumping point to my other work and a page of sites that I have worked on. In the Domain Name, "Y" is for me and "M" is for my twin brother Moshe. Feel free to stop by and take a look.
This site is hosted by LREHosting.com, a budget hosting company with the best service for the money. Unlimited domains, Unlimited email addresses, and unlimited number of mySQL databases made this company a must for me. Since all the other hosts I use charge extra for SQL, all of my databases are here too. The only reason I need any other host is because I have only 100MB of storage space.
I use BasicState for FREE uptime monitoring.

Mail and Other Services
I use Google Apps for Your Domain for email, calendar, chat, short-links (ala. TinyURL), code management (ala. Bugzilla), and a whole host of other things. You can beat the price either, it's FREE.

Gallery.YMKatz.net
This is my photo site. Here, I have all my pictures starting from my 2 years in Israel at Yeshivat Shaalvim. Come in and look around.
This site is hosted by Inmotion Hosting. Inmotion's budget plan gives me a whopping 100GB of storage which my photo site will probably use up eventually. To keep my costs and development time down, I used the free Gallery software and hosted the database on my other site. Inmotion allows only a single site and no SQL on their cheapest plan so I need other hosts as well.

My home server
This site runs off my computer at home (Windows Server 2003 SBS). It allows me to have a central access point for any files that I might need while on the road. (Sorry, no visiting allowed here.)

NFSHost
I use this site for web projects for 501(c) organizations which I know will not have heavy bandwidth usage.
This site is hosted by Nearly Free Speach Hosting, a company with a revolutionary business model for hosting. Instead of paying by the month, you prepay and money is deducted from your account a few pennies at a time as the service is used. My current usage amount for this site is (since January 8, 2009): $0.0003 . For obvious reasons, I will not post a link to it here.
