Web Hosting Question


Recommended Posts

I am looking for a good cheap webhost.  I would like to utilize php and mysql.  I also would like guaranteed uptime and backups. Also, I have a home server and am able to manipulate crontab files and my php.ini files.  How does this work with a third party provider?  Can I use phpmyadmin through third party server?  Please help me with any suggestions on how to find a webhost.

Look in the "MISC" board as there are loads of hosting Q&A's there.

 

As for crontabs - you will have to make sure they offer these.

As for php.ini. If the hosting company uses suPHP - then it is possible for users to have their own php.ini with this setup. I find however that I can change most of the settings via a .htaccess file.

 

As for phpmyadmin - yes you can use this app to connect to remote MySQL databases, however the hosting company might not allow external access to their mysql server, and it probably will only be accessible from their webserver.

 

best of luck
