I've sent this off to Websecurestores, but their response seems to be taking a while.. perhaps someone here who has an account with them can let me know some details?
1. Does the control panel allow one to reliably copy, move, zip and unzip a folder that contains perhaps 200Mb in 12,000 file and folders. These operations are primarily for the purposes of upgrading or backing up a Dotnetnuke portal installation.
2. Do you enable Sharepoint services (WSS) on Server 2003?
3. Does the control panel let me set domain folder paths at will?
4. The database size of the ASP Business account says “4/500Mb” –Is that 4 totalling 500Mb or 4 totalling 2000Mb?
5. Can I backup and restore MSSQL databases via the control panel at will?
6. Do you have PHP, MySQL and PHPMyAdmin installed, as I have need to host small PHP shopping carts.
7. Are the email servers normally at “mail.servername.com” – I have email accounts I have to shift without making changes to my client’s computers.
8. What account do you recommend for the following scenario:
1. Couple of dozen domains
2. Mostly in a single Dotnetnuke instance, but with more instances for development and backup.
3. Perhaps a handful of PHP shopping carts
4. All sites very low hits and bandwidth – they are local small business sites.
5. Disk space requirements not very high either
6. But sites still need to be reasonably snappy to operate.
7. Require Smartermail with any number of email accounts
8. Require automatic emailing of Stats, preferably Smarterstats
9. I don’t need to resell hosting, but I want room to expand upward towards vps or dedicated if needed
9. And this is the most important question of all to me:
What does Websecurestores consider to be an acceptable maximum first-page compile time for a typical Dotnetnuke portal?
10. And the follow-up click:
What does WSS consider to be acceptable second and third page response for a typical Dotnetnuke portal?
And one that I forgot to add... Can you set mailbox size limits or are they fixed? I have a couple of photo print stores on my client-list and they of course receive images sent by email. Webhost4life keeps blocking their email at 20mb. My other host Appliedi just let it go through no matter what.
Thanks for anyone's experience in this.. or even with the same issues on any other host? I've found that a few of the Windows DNN-focussed hosts don't appear to have PHP, but I need it.
