FAQ
- Q. Are there any extra costs?

- Q. How do I know if it's Linux hosting?
- A. Most hosts offer Microsoft hosting and Linux hosting. It should say Linux somewhere. If you can't find it, try to find the package that offers PHP. That is the right one.
- Q. Can't I use my Microsoft hosting?
- A. Sorry, we focus on open source, and that tends to be more readily available in the Linux world.
- Q. What hosting companies do you recommend?
- A. We recommend Host Gator. Also, Lunarpages and Dreamhost are good and affordable.
- Q. Why do you charge more if I don't use one of those companies?
- A. Many hosting companies try and re-invent the wheel. Thats bad. Re-inventing the wheel costs time and money. The reason we recommend the hosts we do is because they offer a standard setup (cPanel) that makes everyones life much easier and the project moves along much faster. Smaller hosts tend to scrimp on their control panels and features which can add a tremendous amount of time (and cost) to the setup process.
- Q. What version of PHP?
- A. PHP 5 is prefered but PHP 4 will do.
