Re: hosting
UK hosting will be fast for you and I recommend any of these:
EUKhost
Orchard Hosting
Web-Mania
The last one accepts Paypal. Unfortunately you are a day late to get a year for £9.99
Edit: Orchard also now accept Paypal :)

Re: hosting
hi zero,
thanks those look good but i went with the media temple grid service. At 200bucks/year for 100 sites it looks like the best value on the web even without factoring in the weak dollar exchange rate. Apparently its as stable as it gets as well. Also i immediately liked the control panel.
Cheers to everyone else that helped me in the search as well.
edited to say actually zero those deals look really good… oh well im happy enough.

Are you sure? I recently renewed my account with them using Paypal and the paypal option is still on my admin panel billing screen.

Re: hosting
yeah net carver,
apparently they have some fraud rating based on country of origin and ip address and you get your billing options based on that.

Re: hosting
Anybody ever get clean urls working on media temple grid service?
I had wrongly assumed that clean urls would be supported out of the box on media temple and have still been using my other hosting plan until now.
Boy i should have checked this before i signed up with media temple.

Re: hosting
What kind of errors are you getting? Have you tried any of these tweaks? Give Options +FollowSymlinks a shot (random guess).

I dont know mary tried everything working but couldnt get it to work. Doesnt even seem to be reading the .htaccess file but there are no errors in the diagnostics.

Re: hosting
So you weren’t able to cause any server errors? Try adding some broken code to the .htaccess.
Also, is the site using its IP address and a tilde (e.g. http://ipaddress/~example/) by any chance? I’ve gotten stumped on a site5 reseller server – caused by RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php. I think it’s got something to do with the tilde, so maybe we have similar problems.

Hi everyone
I take a look to to wiki page and i found that HostGator was not recommended!
I am surprised cause I moved some of my website to it last month (I took a reseller package with cpanel) and all look to work just fine, no problem with file permission or directory permission (image and file set to 755)!
I ask because the list must be correct, maybe hostgator changed the configuration and know it can host correctle txp websites?

Hi. You can try pair.com They are very inexpensive and pleasant to speak with but I am not sure if they accept Paypal or not.
Best of luck.

They might’ve changed – I did a few TXP installs in January, but it was just painful. It could’ve been the permissions for the svn checkout just start out wrong. I’ll try again. I think pay-for-ssh access is pretty stupid though.

Sorry for not responding jm I didnt realize there was a reply.
The problem is that htaccess files doesnt get read on subdomains. For proper domains the standard .htaccess file works.
Its a big problem for me though as i redo a lot of sites for people and i usually build on a subdomain first then just switch it over.
Not really sure how to trouble shoot this. If i put a load of crap into the htaccess file diagnostics doesnt show an error, but it does show up in the diagnostics info…
