Yes Steve has a great point. Coldfusion has this Windows-like feel to it because of its exorbitant pricing, limited platform capabilities, and that trying-to-make-life-simple-for-you ideology they try to live by. PHP has more of a Unix-feel, the get-down-and-dirty type, and a GNU-like (which means it's free) license. I forgot about the pricing.

I don't have extensive experience so please correct me if I'm wrong. Anyhow personally, Coldfusion makes life really easy for a lot of stuff with the exception of harder implementations. They also have a good IDE. PHP on the other hand is more for those who come from a programming background like Java, C and Perl. PHP is reputed to be stable and faster, probably the result of consuming less resources. Coldfusion on the other hand has superb search facilities and works well with all databases as you don't need to know the exact implementation details for each and every database. PHP works well too but if you're using a less common database, then you may need to do some extra work there. PHP is supported on more platforms than Coldfusion (see the specs for details) while error handling is quite lousy for PHP and really good for Coldfusion. I've not used them a lot so my opinions may be flawed but here's what I feel based on some usage and also based on hearsay. Hope this helps.

Thanks Raul! That's good to know!

I've just noticed I've repeated information from Thomas and Bob when I reread their posts. Sorry.

What version of NAV are you using? You can find this out by opening your NAV and looking somewhere along the bottom right-hand corner of the program. It should say Norton Antivirus <year>. As someone has suggested earlier, MS does have some issues with a number of applications. What you can do is go to this page - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...ct=windowsxpsp2 that lists the software alongside with their versions that may lose functionality with the usage of SP2. They generally tend to be the next newest software eg NAV 2003 so if you have pretty much the most-updated softwares, you shouldn't have a problem I think.

I've had a computer with NAV on it and SP2 patch as well and it works just fine with the option set to self-monitoring. It shouldn't be a problem if you set that option for the Security Center.

That is, go to Start, Control Panel, Windows Security Center, and tell them you want to do the monitoring yourself despite their recommendations that it's better for them to do it for you.

You can disable the AV manager under Windows SP 2. It's pretty much useless as what it does is usually done already by most existing AV utilities. It just reminds you when your antivirus patterns are outdated.

Just an additional question but related to the one above. Is the GD library supported by our shared-hosting servers here? I'm asking this in relation to the Invision Power Board features which requires the GD library. Thanks.

You can choose to permanently accept the certificate even though the identity of the server hasn't been verified. The purpose for a verified server is to ensure that you are actually connecting to that particular server instead of another server masquerading to be that server. The only way this can be overcomed is if you have your very own SSL certificates installed. I'm not sure if TotalChoiceHosting does this for shared hosting and what's the pricing like (it could be on their pages somewhere, if not, hopefully someone who knows will come along and answer it). Can anybody clarify please? So what you essentially end up getting is a secure connection between you and the mail server where everything that gets sent to and fro between your email program on your computer and the mail server on TotalChoiceHosting is scrambled (encrypted) and secure. It's only the identity of the server that cannot be authenticated, in other words, whether it's really TotalChoiceHosting's mail server or someone else pretending to be TotalChoiceHosting's mail server. I hope this helps.

Your login/password is transferred securely when you use https. However if you would like to secure the transit of your emails, use something like PGP. Check out http://www.pgp.com Hope this helps. :-) Figured I might as well help out while am waiting for responses to my queries. I'm new here too by the way.

Also are there any links to good documentations on Horde? Perhaps if not written by Horde people themselves, by TotalChoiceHosting?

How do I check multiple inboxes from Horde? I've tried finding it in Horde's FAQs but they don't seem to say anything about it. Also, what do I do in order to route spam to a spam folder and how do I go about checking my spam every now and then?

Thanks Lisa, Don and Steve for the helpful tips. Sounds like Horde is useful for multiple inbox checkings and spam retrieval while Squirrelmail runs on port 80.

I've reposted my above query as a whole new topic to here to gain better visibility - http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...showtopic=13244 Thanks.

Is it possible for a subdomain to point elsewhere other than a subdirectory, for example it could point to a subsubdirectory or even a completely different directory altogether? It would be nice if visitors to my site can access the subdomain by only one way, that is thru blahblah.domain.com instead of two ways - blahblah.domain.com and www.domain.com/blahblah Is there any way of achieving this? Thanks.

I also quite enjoyed the article at websiteGear whose link Rob provided. Thanks. I have a question - is it possible for a subdomain to point elsewhere other than a subdirectory, for example it could point to a subsubdirectory or even a completely different directory altogether?
