We allow PHP/MySQL based forums. The use of CGI/Perl or flat file based forums is NOT allowed on our servers.

There are many converters out there that you can use to convert to a MySQL database. Some of them include:

exportsql.txt A script that is similar to access_to_mysql.txt, except that this one is fully configurable, has better type conversion (including detection of TIMESTAMP fields), provides warnings and suggestions while converting, quotes all special characters in text and binary data, and so on. It will also convert to mSQL v1 and v2, and is free of charge for anyone.

We try to be liberal with our database connections. However we do require the following:

You must use standard connects and NOT persistent database connections (pconnects) as this can cause the MySQL server to become congested. You need also ensure that you close all connection routines and terminate them. You cannot remotely connect to your databases. We take great care in ensuring the dependability of our servers and the databases of each and every customer, we don’t limit the number of your MySQL databases but we do make certain they are available at all times.

Your MySQL space will be shared on the space allocated to your web hosting account.

CPanel includes a web-based mySQL management tool called phpMyAdmin. This tool allows you to manage all aspects of your database structure and data. Click on the Advanced Menu / SQL Database / phpMyAdmin link in your Control Panel to use phpMyAdmin.

Before you can publish your web site with FrontPage, you must create your new web on the 『localhost』 system. This is accomplished by selecting 『create new web,』 and then entering 『localhost』 in the line where it asks for the web location. Make sure that the main page of your website is named 『index.htm』. Once you have completed your web on your computer, you can then select the 『publish web』 option from the file menu in FrontPage Explorer. You will be prompted for your IP address and web name and then it will send it to our servers. Please note that you will be prompted for a user ID and password, and depending on your system configuration it may be the one that we issued you or it may be the one that you entered when you first installed FrontPage. If one does not work, then simply try the other. If you have forgotten what that password was, then you will need to reinstall FrontPage and select a new one.

NOTE: If you are using FrontPage, you should NEVER use regular FTP to upload your files. This will damage the extensions. Stick with one or the other all the time.

Unfortunatly, you cannot upload using Front Page before the domain has resolved.

To take advantage of Server Side Includes(SSI) in your web page, make sure the web page has the extension .shtml.
