couple of questions

[masterplumber]

Hi,

Am interested in your service (Linux shared hosting) and have two or three questions before I commit.

Could you confirm mySQL and PHP versions? Also which version of cpanel?

I will probably be using a CMS such as CMSMadeSimple. Could you tell me what the max script size I am allowed to run is? I will need at least 8Mb and preferably 16Mb.

Could you confirm that PHP safe mode is switched off?

Could you confirm that PHP Tokenizer support is available?

Do I have access to my own php.ini file? I'm thinking of needing to change register_globals etc depending on whether it's on or off

If I need a cron job set up can I ask tech support to do that for me?

Looks like a good product you are offering

I have answered all your questions below:-


Could you confirm mySQL and PHP versions? Also which version of cpanel?
Ans: We offer PHP 5.x and MySQL 5.x on our servers. You can mention the PHP and MySQL version you require in comment box when you sign up with us. We offer cPanel 11 on our shared hosting packages.

I will probably be using a CMS such as CMSMadeSimple. Could you tell me what the max script size I am allowed to run is? I will need at least 8Mb and preferably 16Mb.
Ans: There is no max script size as such. You should not overload the server and thats most important for us.

Could you confirm that PHP safe mode is switched off?
Ans: You can set is as per your requirements.

Could you confirm that PHP Tokenizer support is available?
Ans: Yes

Do I have access to my own php.ini file? I'm thinking of needing to change register_globals etc depending on whether it's on
Ans: We don’t allow php.ini access from the shared hosting accounts on our servers. You can enable or disable various php.ini functions from .htaccess of your account, you can also enable/disable safe mode, register globals, sessions and many other functions from .htaccess.

If I need a cron job set up can I ask tech support to do that for me?
Ans: You will need to do it via cPanel.

I would say everything you want from your comments should be achievable on that plan. And also, if you have any trouble the support team should be able to help you. You can get very quick responses using livechat.

Thanks for your replies. sounds quite good.

Could I maybe pick up on one point though. Is there really no limit on max script size in php.ini? The reason I mention it is because I have stumbled over this problem plenty of times before. I'm hoping to develop a school webiste using a CMS. It will probably be cmsmadesimple which has modest requirements but I haven't yet ruled out drupal - and it needs at least 16Mb or it's the white screen of death whenever you add a new module.

Max File size limit in php.ini is 8MB on all our servers getting filled right now. I'm not sure if we have 16 MB on any of our servers, but I will get this confirmed from one of our system admins asap.

Masterplumber, I've just PM'd you (with Mark's blessing) with some suggestions — thought I'd alert you here as sometimes it's not obvious you have a PM waiting (depending on your profile setup)!

Thanks in anticipation ...
