Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

Hi to all i am new here and would appreciate some help.I am trying to set up a website and have registered the domain name , downloaded an ftp freeware programme and purchased easy site s/ware for the grand total of £2.75 (5us) but on uploading it to my webspace have found I cannot activate the programme.I have been advised by someone who knows their stuff that Php and mySQL could be the problem.By the way I am a *complete* (read idiot) novice and am taking my first faltering steps into the world of websites.:confused:

Sorry ntl doesn't support anything like that, its good for sticking some files on that you won't have to worry about eating your bandwidth allowance.

Not much you can do with it but suppose it will help you get started, can mess around and learn a few things from it.

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

Confused .... what domain name have you pruchased that could be used on ntl webspace, and no, ntl webspace (55meg free) does not support php and MySQL.

i will do the :welcome: then :rolleyes: :D :D :D , not sure about the problem though :erm:

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

ntl provide on the very basics for you unfortunately.

You could alternatively serve from home with a dynamic dns resolver or use a company that provide web hosting such as 1an1, www.1and1.co.uk

There is no need for a 12 month package and they are very flexible, I used godaddy to register my domain name, only cost £1.25 for .info domain ;)

indeed shop around and you can find some very cheap mysql and php hosting, i believe there are some free hosts that offer these still around i will look into :)

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

Or http://www.i-websolutions.co.uk/ (who host this very site.)

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

I believe lycos offer a service which is reliable www.lycos.co.uk for more info

Do deals for Cable Forum members.

Send a PM to King Phoenix or WebJunkie

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

Would this happen to be your own service ;)

The deals look fairly good, although disappointing in the template which is readly available via the web and sites such as template monster

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

I`m not sure you can do it directly, but the company that I bought a domain name from for a couple of years could set it up so that it would do masked frame forwarding, so the end result looks much the same.

Liquidfire offer free MySQL PHP4 hosting:
http://l1h.net/

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

What has the website template to do with the hosting? The original template (as has not been hidden anywhere) was from template monster, however we have furthered it to suit our needs and requirements.

I really dont understand your lack of criticism to bring such a point as an issue. :rolleyes:

Confused .... what domain name have you pruchased that could be used on ntl webspace,

I did say I am a complete novice (idiot) I registered my domain name with 123reg thinking I could transfer it to my webspace,I gather this isn't the case .Can anyone give janet and john instructions as to exactly what the procedure is when you have found a host.

Many thanks to all of you for taking the time to reply:dunce:

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

The template in its self is not a bad design, but its that fact that so many "new" companies set them self up to host, get a template from template monster and start trading, it would be nice to see companies that take it upon themselves to make them different from the rest if you see what I mean.

Although as for the offers you have I am actually encouraged by the pricing you have, if your customer service is as good as your pricing you have a brilliant package.

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

As im sure many here will tell you, our customer services is better than our pricing.

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

I have been a customer of I-Web for over a year, now, I can confirm that their customer service belies the cheap as chips pricing. Any support tickets I have needed to raise have been dealt with quickly & efficiently.

Also the package itself, with a comprehensive Control Panel, which includes the Fantastico auto script installer, makes for an very good introduction to running a website for a n00b, like me.

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

I use http://www.hostlogical.com/?a_aid=23&a_bid=8
unlimited PHP/MySQL/CGI/Perl, loads of free utilities, and only £9.99 per year for their basic package.

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

I-web solutions are brilliant, I've only cancelled my reseller and normal accounts because I didn't need the accounts anymore.

As for 1&1 avoid at all costs.

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

KingPhoenix your customers have spoken lol, I like the sound of it, I think I just might be placing an order lol

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

If you take a look at the footer of each page, you will find that they provide the server that Cable Forum runs on, and I can assure you that we are more than happy with the customer service they provide. :)

Signed up today, sent a ticket and reply sent while I was in the shower not bad. Impressed ;)

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

this i-web does look intresting... but i'll stick with the company's i've been using for a couple of years now... Penguin_Computer_Services, Prices aren't really better than I-Web, but i must day PCS, have top quality CS too... very quick replies, always let know of any minor downtime due to any upgrades etc... one reason why i'd keep PCS over I-Web is the control Pannel, I prefer the Ensim Control Pannel over the the Cpanel by far... used both of them frequently over the years, and i always find that ensim comes out on top in my opinion...

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

I would strongly recomend I-Web for the hosting. I know several people who use them and they have no problems at all !

P.S. That avatar looks rather familiar :erm: :D

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

mine? or sum1 elses?

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

The OP's! (There does seem to be some similarity..);)

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

Sorry about that Stuart,a genuine coincidence i can assure you:D

I shall change my avatar post haste as you definately pull rank on me.;)

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

:LOL: NP m8...

I had that avatar before I joined the team... I like it becouse it has the same size feet as mine :D

Re: Does NTL webspace (server?) support Php and mySQL
 

Sorry to go against the grain, but I feel I should share my experiences with I-web. I can certainly vouch for the quality of the customer services, which was always prompt and friendly. My issue was that the servers they use were unreliable. My site was down frequently and I know from looking at the I-web forums I was not alone. In the end we had to move to another host, from whom we have had no issues. I know that I-web was aware of the issues and working towards a resolution, but my experiences were far from positive.

Sorry chaps, but I signed up on the basis of recommendations on this board, and feel I should share my experiences accordingly.
