Chris.

Hmm.. do you have a demo of this control panel that I can look at? what kind of developers' support is in there?

Also, do you support python, C/C++ cgi scripts ?

How do I sign up for these offers?

Well, these all are quite good questions.
No, we do not have a demo, although it would be a great idea. I'll see what can be done...

Python, C/C++, etc. Absolutely.

We do have a signup page on our web site (www.hostinggroup.com (http://www.hostinggroup.com) ), menu "sign-up". We accept PayPal and regular CC processing, although regarding this offer we'd prefer PayPal, their rates are softer on us ;)

Thanks.. :)

Just to be clear, if I sign up for the plans on that form, I will get the disk space quotas mentioned in this offer? Does Paypal accept Amex?

You guys seem like a host oriented for programming and development, which is what I'm looking for. These are quite hard to find nowadays. Do you happen to have a copy of perldiver running, so that I can see what perl modules are running?

Thanks again.

What control panel are you using? How many MySQL databases would we get?

If you sign with that form, you'll get the disk space mentioned here, not on our site, unless you sign for the $5/month plan, since we raised its price ($6) to compensate for the extra space. We'll need to create a temporary order page for this one. I also double-checked on PayPal's site and I fear they do not accept Amex. Anyway, if you can't use PayPal this shouldn't be an issue: we have removed our CC links temporarily (well, for a whole month actually!) but we'll bring them back this week. Tomorrow I hope. And we do take Amex.
We have perldiver here (http://www.hostinggroup.com/cgi-bin/perldiver.pl); this is a typical installation with default modules, and we can install additionnal modules upon demand.

We use our own Control Panel. Yes, it looks like a new trend, everybody seems to give up CPanel as some point and write their own. I guess we're no exception. With the two cheaper plans you get 1 database (actually 2 or more when asked with a smile and the need is justified ;)), with the two other plans you get 'x' databases, 'x' meaning more than 1, more than 10, but most likely less than 1000.

Do not hesitate if you have any further questions.

-Chris.
