"Getdotted Hosting"

Just wondered if at all how often backups are made, just incase the worst should ever happen?

Ensim allows backups.

OK...

just looked at the Cpanel website:

For 1 server to have it licensed its:

£811 roughly.

Now surely using say something like the MySQL price plan, add a couple of quid to that for the option of Cpanel and hey presto maybe a work around?

Obviously you would have to think about implimentation etc, but something to think about maybe.

Well it doesnt have to be CPanel, I was just using that as a comparison and can you please stop saying its free. I am fully aware of how this works thanks.

All I am asking for is a discussion about it, I am not dictating to you or Getdotted as a whole, just trying to get the best for everybody thats all.

I am willing to talk to any getdotted staff member about my site and suggestions etc, surely there is nothing wrong in making suggestions to get the best service you can.

If you want to pay the CPanel License fees then go ahead, but you will never find it on a free service like ourselfs

Thats good to hear if that could possibly happen.

We have considered this and will continue to develop a way of getting it to work without disruption to other users.

It would require careful set-up so that not everybody could use it at once. There are bandwidth considerations for big sites and the zipping routines would also demand resouces on the servers.

It may well make an appearance in the future.

I'd like a domain name....

If you've got a domain name, and want a host for it...

Sod that.

I'm happy with my own ISP.
