nirenjan Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Hi, I went through the plans and I'm delighted with them. However, there is just one issue. My total requirements (for 3 domains) will fit within 450 MB easily. Can you design a custom hosting plan or should I have to buy a predefined reseller account for this? Thanks Nirenjan Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Welcome to the forums Nirenjan. To host three separate accounts with different content you would need a reseller account OR three separate hosting accounts. Quote

nirenjan Posted September 23, 2005 Author Posted September 23, 2005 Thanks everybody, just a couple of more questions. I have about a month of hosting left with my current host. My site currently uses ASP and I see that you support only PHP & Perl. Anyway, I want to port it to PHP and make my site active by the 1st of November. Now if I purchase a hosting package, can I check the pages without having my domain point to TCH? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Yes, you can. You will be given an IP address where you can upload/test your site until you are ready to change your DNS servers to point here to TCH. You are correct ASP is not supported on the TCH servers. Quote
nirenjan Posted September 23, 2005 Author Posted September 23, 2005 Thanks Bruce. One final question, will TCH techs assist me in installing a CMS like WordPress or MovableType? Quote
Deverill Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 The TCH Techs don't help install third party scripts such as WordPress or MT. There are, however, lots of folks on the forums here that are familiar with the systems and can offer assistance if you get stuck. Quote
TCH-Don Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Some php code may not work properly when you view your site with the ip/~username given to you to view your site before the domain name is active. But you can install your own Apache server with php to debug your site on your own computer. Many of us use Xammpp Lite a quick and easy install. I do all my changes this way. If you do this and need help with it, just ask us here on the forum. Some of us have installed Xampp on a usb drive and it works great. Quote
OldTimer Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 I could be wrong here, but doesn't XAMPP Lite, only have PHP 5.0.4? Some scripts will only work with PHP 4 Greg Quote
stevevan Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 From the Xammp page: We've released a new version of XAMPP 1.4.15, including: * Update XAMPP Control Version 2.1 * (from www.nat32.com & thank you) Update MySQL 4.1.13 * Update PHP 4.4.0 * Update eAccelerator 4.4.0-0.9.4dev * Update Zend Optimizer 2.5.10a * Update OpenSSL 0.9.8 * Update ADODB 4.65 * Update FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.8c * Update phpMyAdmin 2.6.3-pl1 * Update sendmail v14 * add xampp-portcheck (wiedmann) * and more ... See their site for more info. Quote
OldTimer Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 That version, yes. XAMPP Lite. No. That's all I was implying. Greg Quote
stevevan Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 You are correct. Subtle but important difference between the two. Quote
nirenjan Posted September 25, 2005 Author Posted September 25, 2005 Thanks again everybody, XAMPP works great. Now one question on the billing. I saw that the Head Guru special is available for only new customers. That's fine, but if I pay for one year, then do I have an option to return to monthly billing at a later date (after 1 year, that is)? Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Just open a ticket to billing if the need arises and they will take care of you. Quote
nirenjan Posted October 2, 2005 Author Posted October 2, 2005 Just want to say that I've signed up and am currently waiting for the DNS changes to propagate... Quote
TCH-Don Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Well then welcome to the family Nirenjan When you get settled in, stop by the introductions forum and say hello to the rest of your family. Quote
