Hello people of ThreadsDev. I'm just posting to inform you that my hosting company is offering a discount of 10% off all hosting packages. We also support UBB.threads.<br /><br />To find out more, you can visit www.vertexhost.com<br /><br />We offer various plans to suit almost any type of website, whether it is a small personal site or a large online business. <br /><br />To receive the discount, when ordering use this coupon code: THREADSDEV<br /><br />If you have any other questions regarding our services don't hesitate to ask or visit the support forums on the site or email our support. Just looking to give a little something back to the ThreadsDev community for all of the great help and hacks <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Admins, if this breaks any rules or isn't allowed please feel free to edit or remove the message. From the people I've talked to I have gathered a small promotion was OK, but if not I completely understand <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Discounts are good. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I like discounts. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

How long is this offer good for?

I think it is still on. We moved longhaircareforum.com to Vertexhost at the beginning of April and we did get the 10% discount. So far we never had any complains neither from the bandwidth nor from the web server response, and I believe that board is one of the busiest ones on the server with 1000 unique visitors and some thousands of page requests per day.<br /><br />Just contact them via email. They responded to mine within 10 minutes or so.

Yes, the discount is always on... as long as I'm a member of threadsdev <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> But please do contact us if you have any questions <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Jeremy, <br />I've got a client looking for a good server for his threads and some deep integrated stuff I'm going to be doing.<br /><br />Are you Unix?

Yep, RedHat 7.3, latest MySQL, etc <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Do they have a dedicated server package?

No advertised dedicated server package, but could work out a custom plan if needed. The dedicated plans won't be advertised until the end of May, but dedicated solutions are always an option for existing clients who need to upgrade, and for special requests.

Jeremy also hosts my site at Vertexhost. Mine however is probably the least server intensive site there is, with about 1-2 visitors a day <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> The customer support is EXCELLENT!

I'm currently with Communitech.NET, and all hell has been going on so far this year. They were bought out by Interland and are currently closing down their NOC in KC and moving everything to Interland in Atlanta. My site is now as sloooooow as mud. Word from the grapvine is that Interland is going down, so I'm looking for a new host. <br /><br />I'm currently FTPing down all of my files and will backup and download my MySQL.<br /><br />I noticed you have webmail access which is a great plus. I have been using Everyone.net and am not happy with having to go through a 3rd party. Would visitors to my website be able to sign-up for and use e-mail accounts? What are the details on that?<br /><br />I will probably be looking at the Executive package. I currently use 189.81MB and have used 0.35GB of bandwidth this month, so you won't have to worry about me hogging it. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> In addition to the drumlines.org domain, I also have drumlines.com and drumlines.net pointing to my site. These are defined as "Parked Domains", right? And by addon domains, do these mean I can have 2 other URLs that point to a sub-folder on my site?<br /><br />That's all I have for now. Now sell me on choosing VertexHost! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Parked domains are used for domains that you own to forward someone to another domain. So if someone went to drumlines.net, they would automaticaly forward to drumlines.com. Addon domains, as you said, be a completely different domain or site if you want, and is created as a subfolder within your main account. This domain uses storage/transfer of your main account, but works well if someone needs a small personal site and can't see paying extra to host it.<br /><br />The webmail interface is designed for accessing POP email accounts via the web when you are away, or if you choose not to use a program. You have two webmail options to choose from.<br /><br />Horde - http://www.horde.org/<br />NeoMail - http://neomail.sourceforge.net/<br /><br />These are preinstalled for you. But, they aren't designed to be a mail solution where you can have anyone create new accounts and such, each account has to be created via the control panel. If you are looking for a system like that, I would suggest taking a look at http://www.hivemail.com (I think there is even a hack floating around to integrate it with threads) And for a free version of something similar, you may want to check out squirrelmail.<br /><br />If you have any other questions though just let me know. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

From JoshPet: <br />[]Most shared hosting accounts either don't have access to the mysqldump command, or are in safe mode, or time out.[/] <br /> <br />Since you are UBBThreads friendly, I will have access to everything in MySQL that I will need, correct? I'm asking this so that I know I'll be able to transfer my database without a hitch. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

More specifically the database backup command from the admin menu? I've worked on alot of sites... and most sites it doesn't work. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for chiming in Josh. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Also, I don't have access to cronjobs with my current host. Will I have access to it with you?

If not, you have full access to phpMyAdmin, which gives you complete control over your database and you can backup and import sql files as you need to with that.

Oops, just saw your last reply.<br /><br />Yes, in the control panel you have access to setting up cronjobs, and the interface is very easy to use I might add <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have faith in Jeremy.<br /><br />I think Nikos uses him....

Nikos does, as well as a few others here <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
