Re: Site on Altervista

You let us do the address research (WTH is altervister?) while their website is in your language and their forum is ditto? Come on, you’re better!

A give a quick look at Altervista and it seems you have FTP and MySQL access, so I think that you can migrate your TXP site.

First you have to create a site on Altervista choosing TXP as CMS.

Don’t know what version they are using know: control it’s the same of your site.

Re: Site on Altervista

Ciao Pierlu,
yes, you can.
I have a seven years old textpattern site still running there (www.qashqaimania.com).
Basically Altervista gives you a free hosting with a third level domain (i.e. your_name.altervista.org). Please consider that you need to pay few € for access to a MySQL database (required for a textpattern site). Also, you have space and query per hour limits.

As an alternative I would recommend a cheap hosting solution at www.aruba.it for something more, less than 30 €/year if I well remember.
In such case choose a linux/apache hosting + MySQL db. And the domain name registration is included.

Hope it helps.

don’t EVER EVER chose Aruba.it … They have the most draconian interface i have ever come across! DANGER. Please look at something else. justhost.com or skgoldhosting.com or ??? anything else.
