Yes, you'll have to let your host know what the script is. It sounds dodgey otherwise.

RedRival premium hosting now offers 100MB of disk quota.

Thanks for the suggestions. I always seriously consider enhancing our hosting options. We're already in the midst of deciding just exactly how to enhance our premium hosting. It's not longer a question of if, but when. I'm also seriously considering enhancing our free hosting options, as well...

Why PHP 4.3.11 only?

We'll definitely have to see about upping that. The key to encourage content rather than file storage so we'll have to find a compromise situation(limiting file sizes, prohibiting file extensiojns, for instance). I'm already reconsidering the disk quota on our premium hosting. I'm sure we can...

What are the top 3 things that are most important to you?

RedRival is looking to host your content and we'd like to know what you need to build the website you want. Is it PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, MySQL, PostgreSQL, sqlite, ftp access, secure ftp access, web-based FTP, shell access, an easy to use file manager, preinstalled scripts, available...

So, while I haven't been around these forums in a long time, am I generally along the right lines considering these hosts to be the same as they've always been? Hosts thinking they can make lots of money fast but who usually fold, get hacked, lose their backups, etc., within a few months? I...

Having become a regular here again, I notice the Free Hosting Offers forum has a lot of offers from companies offering the world. This has always been the case in the free hosting market and there are always those early adopters who sign on to those hosts. The post-to-host phenomenon is a...
