Some general Questions

[*me*]

Hello,

first sorry for my poor english!

I'm from germany. And I have serveral questions about the bluehost hosting paket.

Now I have one virtual server with confixx. Confixx creates for every user some directories. And only one directory can be reached from the internet! Can I do that with bluehost, too? I used this functions for a project that only a registred user can download files.

What Extensions of PHP5 are installed on the server? Can someone post the php_info()?

I have read about a 30 day money back guarantee! But on the current website I can't found anything about that.

Than I have a very "special" question! Now it is not possible to register a .de domain. But I can modify the nameserver of my server! Can I configure my bluehost account to use the .de-Domain?

And how works the shared ssl hosting?

Thanks a lot!

I can't figure out what confixx is written in, but I have a feeling you won't be able to run it. There are plenty of other programs out there that will do the same thing that are written in PHP, just hit up hotscripts.com.

I'm on a php4 server but here's the phpinfo for me, http://semlar.biz/phpinfo.php.

There is a 30 day money back guarantee, after that they offer a pro-rated refund if you decide to cancel.

Yes.

The free ssl support they have works like this.. https://semlar.biz

If you want your own certificate you need to pay a little extra for a dedicated IP address and then of course the certificate.

Ohh sorry, that was a misunderstood. Confixx is a reseller system and make the same like the c-panel! I don't want install that, that will not work.

I you create a new user with confixx, confixx creates a ftp user and some dirctories for the user. If a user connects with the ftp server, the user see the directories html and files and some other. Only the html directory can be reached from the internet. The directory files can only be used by ftp and scripts that run on the server. If you have a download dir under html it can be reached by every person. But the files under /files can only be reached by a script in html. So you can write a script to identifiy the user and than only can download a file... hope, now you can understand what i mean.


Yes.

So you can define domains from other hosters und you them?

i bit confused about the reseller script that you having there.
best is to check with BH support on that. TOS concern as well.

the domain can be register somewhere, for sample i having 2 domains from godaddy and point to bluehost, and so my websites is hosted at BH instead.
