Hosting service compatibility
We’d like to collect a list of Textpattern-friendly hosting companies. So:
1. Does Textpattern work out of the box with clean URLs on your hosting service?
2. Did you have to change anything in your account or PHP configuration?
3. Does the host provide documentation on how to create a MySQL database and user? What’s the link?

Re: Hosting service compatibility
1. Yes
2. No
3. Yes, but only in German
The company is located in Germany, so all docs and the interface is in German.
For those speaking German maybe a good one.

Re: Hosting service compatibility
Since TXD and DH have already been covered, here’s the third host I’ve experience with:
Serverplan (Italy)
- Yes.
- No.
- Yes (video)

Re: Hosting service compatibility
OVH (Western Europe)
- Almost. The only thing needed is to add a path prefix. Before: <notextile>RewriteRule ^(.) index.php</notextile>, after: <notextile>RewriteRule ^(.) /index.php</notextile> (for a root install).
- No.
- Yes (French and Polish now, half a dozen languages on the way).

Re: Hosting service compatibility
WebHostOne (Germany)
- Yes
- No
- No, at least I couldn’t find it right now but it’s dead simple. You only have to choose a password and an optional comment on the db. Then it gives you all the data you need to know.
