fugix Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I know that godaddy allows you to edit the php.ini file for your website. You will want to be looking for MAX_FILE_SIZE or something of the sorts. The default is 2MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyph Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Dreamhost allows you to run your own build of PHP if you'd like Hostmonster allows you to customize your php.ini file. I'd suggest using anything other than GoDaddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xyph Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Many, many reasons. For one, the hosting interface is horrid. It's riddled with AJAX, multiple links that go to the same place, etc. It looks more like a Norton screen than a web host control panel. Then, for some reason, when you actually get into your hosting panel, the interface changes completely. Support is useless. Did you know that to create a custom PHP.ini file for an account using PHP 5, you have to name it php5.ini? Support didn't know that :/ I had to google it, found it on a blog. On top of that, you get more features for less money. I've dealt with GoDaddy enough. When I take over administration of a website that's on GoDaddy, I move the second the hosting plan is up. There have been times where I've just moved, and let the plan expire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugix Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I have dealt with several hosts before with support issues etc. From what I have dealt with godaddy, I have not had these issues, however I do agree with you with the interface issues, I was not aware that you must name the file php5.ini since the last time I worked for someone that used godaddy, I did not have to do this. Thank you for sharing your personal experience to better inform the op. I also dj agree with your other choices of hosts. Dreamhost being my favorite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikaspa Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Can i state here that I appreciates the views exchanged from solution point of view customization of php.ini (php5.ini in case of PHP5 as per fugix thanks for this valued information) and .htaccess is a must Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugix Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Not a problem at all, as for htaccess, every host that I have dealt with this far, has allowed customization of the htaccess file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyph Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 You have to watch out. If PHP is running as CGI, then using any php_flag lines in the .htaccess file could and should return an internal server error (500). Instead, you need to use the custom php.ini file, and need to check if your host supports this, and any finicky other issues your host may have.
