Thanks a bunch

Okay guys, I was thinking of sending a support ticket but I want to check here first. Both a friend of mine and myself have an issue whenever we try and submit anything that contains an imageshack.us link. We get: This happans on my board (a ipb 2.0.4 ) and my freinds board ( an ipb 2.1.7 board) Another freind hosted with you guys using a 2.1.7 doesnt get the same error. (We're all hosted on TCH) It seems like a server error, but I'm not totally sure. Is it support ticket time?

Couldnt have said it better myself

have html,body {text-align:center} (add the rest of any css code you have in to that) then, suround your entire website with a div, give that div an id #globalcontent then create a new id in your css, #globalcontent, and give it #globalcontent { width: ;//width here margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; } voila, that should work

3, Plan on getting one more

Thanks for the help guys (I almost forgot about this thread, jeez >< )

Over the course of having my website, I've tried out a few different CMSs for a homepage to my website. I've used a few, but am yet to find one a really like. I've checked out mambo, php-nuke, and something else which the name escapes me. So what is everyone elses opinion? (I also noticed Invision Power is comming out with a CMS, cant wait to see that )

If I'm getting my prices right here, its probably more expensive to have a server at your house, as well as much more annoying. A good connection to the internet for a server can run you a few hundred bucks easy every month. Also, the fact that TCH gives you cpanel to manage your acount, which again if I recal correctly, costs about a few thousand bucks for your own liscense. And then theres a fact that TCH manages the server your on, and will fix it very quickly if something ever goes wrong. If you had your own server and something went wrong, then it'd need to wait for you to get back online or be reset or something. With TCH if there was for example a mySQL outage then they'd restart things themselves very quickly. Also, I'm a high school student as well, and this is by far the best host I've ever had, out of a few.

The thing about forums is what do you want to be doing with them? THe version that comes with the hosting is version 1.2. That is a very outdated verison of the software. The current version is 2.1, and included MANY more features than 1.2, and is much more secure. Invision power board 2.1 will run you $70 for a yearly liscense (which allows you to use your board forever, but stops getting updates after a year) or a $185 for a perpetual liscense (which you will just keep getting updates for). If you have the money, I'd say get a 2.x version (when you buy a liscense for IPB you can have access to downloads of version 2.0.4 or 2.1) I myself use 2.0.4 And if you want more info on IPB, go to http://invisionpower.com/ip.dynamic/produc...oard/index.html

DNS propagation can take a maximum of 72 hours if I remember correctly (just a member here, not official info). However, out of personal experience, the DNS usually is reproagated within a few hours for most places. I know some of the members on my board still experienced going to an old host for about a day after the DNS changed during a switch to TCH, but thats rare. And welcome to total choice, its a good choice

I was gonna mention this earlier, but busy busy I am... Now, this is one of the reasons I like TCH. When I switched from a smaller, intimate webhosting business (where you'd maybe people who dont need to stay strict to certain business practices, and can give you some little extra this and that here) to TCH, I thought I was giving that intimacy (in lack of a better word) up. After seeing this, I've definatly been proved wrong.

Word's of wisdom right from the itty-avy's mouth ^^ Well said

In reply to the claim that dynamic web pages take too long to load, I would like to state the heart of my website hosted on TCH is a forum run qith mySQL and only rarely do I experience dramatic slowdowns.

Hey everyone. I would like to say that TCH has had some of the best hosting service, if not the best, I have found so far. I have only been here a little more than a month, but I can say that the hosting, the support, and the members here are superb. So far, the only thing I ever had trouble with pertaining to the hosting was the recent slowdown on server 93, but that was fixed very well apparently, and the support team kept us very, very well informed. Thanks a lot for that especially, so I could give forewarning to all my members about that. The support is also great. Never have I had to wait more than a day to receive a response to a support ticket, and almost every single one was answered within the hour. A great staff you guys have on that support team. And lastly, the forums. Never have I encountered a company forum that was so welcoming to the customers. Kudos to all you "TCH" guys especially, and of course the Head Guru. Total Choice is so far the best host I've encountered. Thanks a bunch everyone for making things so great, with such great prices. Sincerely Hooksie aka Kenshin, a very happy customer http://otakuarmy.com

Yeah, they make a great first impression dont they (and welcome)

Hey acid, nice to see you here too. Did you find this place by yourself or by the link at OA?

Just curious, but is the phone call comming today or tommorow? Given the fact its 9:30, I suppose it will be tommorow?

Again, thank you all for your superb assistance. I'v completed my order, and look forward to using TCH

Thank you for all your help. Just ooooone more question. Do you include phpmyadmin?

Thanks a lot. You'v all been very helpful. And just one more request. Do you think any of you could point me to some independant sites that have reviewed TCH? And perhaps point me to some sites that use tch, so i can just see how well a site other than your main site and forums here runs? (although the latter is not completely neccessary)

Well the slowdown's apparently pretty widespread among customers at my current host, so i doubt its something I'm doing And i love the response time on the questions. One more thing. You said you didnt offer fantastico, however, would the rest of the features i have in cpanel still be there? I'd give you my cpanel version number, however my host is going so slow I cant even get to cpanel. () EDIT: My cpanel build is "10.2.0-RELEASE 82" I thought of just a few more things i needed to ask. How many ftp acounts can I create? How many email addresses do i get?

I meant how often do the servers slow down drastically, or something occur on your end that would result in long load times most all of my includes I beleive are local, however i think i should check on them just to find that out. I got an update from my current webhost at their forums telling the users witht eh slowdown problems that its probably mySQL usage thats slowing the server, so my new question is does that even happan here? And thanks for all you help so far

Hello there everyone. I'v recently moved my site to a new host. However, that host did not meet my expectations, and severely disapointed me in quite a few ways, and I would like to verify that wont happan here, as well as ask a few questions. First, how often are there unscheduled downtimes, and when was the last one? How often does mqSQL fail, and if it has, when was the last time? Load times wont increase drastically when i use a php include script on the page, correct? (seems like a strange thing, but my site is crawling on my current host when php includes are used) Whats the processing power of the average server? How often are there large amounts of lag? And for more general hosting questions, would cpanel here have all the same features as the one my current host has, including fantasico? Is it okay to host multiple sites on a virtual hosting plan with subdomains, just not have domains for them? (example friends-site.mysite.com) How fast does FTP transfer? Thanks for any help in advance. If you guys are what I'm looking for in a host, I look forward to doing business with you -Matthew
