Does GDI sites support PHP

[Darren T]

that's what i've been trying to say, Sarah

If they increased their features, i.e. PHP, MySQL etc... more people would sign up for hosting+profit share scheme, they would quickly realise the financial benefits of doing this!

This is interesting ... I'm having trouble shooting why my php page (password protected page) all of sudden is not accessible. It was working fine until this week- it's odd because it worked for a few months and now it won't load correctly. It seems there is conflicting info about this subject ... I can also use asp but that might also be a problem based on what I'm reading ... anyone found a way around this issue or more specific info?

Thanks

I think to get php or asp to work, you need to transfer your GDI domain to your own server.
So far I haven't been able to get php running with GDI hosting.

I wish to buy a software to install on the website.
Unsure whether it will work on the ws site.

These are the requirement for the software.

• MySQL  version 4.1.2 or higher
• PHP 4.0.2 or higher

Can you advise if it will work on my site.
Thank you

GDI's hosted option supports PHP but not MYSQL. You need to host elsewhere if you need to do this.

I agree, I think it's time for GDI to modernize it's approach and give their customers PHP, MySQL and CGI capabilities.

For $10 a month you can get all this and HEAPS more options from hundreds of other providers.

Blog Sites are now becoming so popular and installing something like Wordpress so easy GDI needs to get it's act together for it's loyal members.

[DPro]

Yes, I do look forward to that day too.
I'm confident it will happen soon.

Recently GDI has added new features

    * Accepting PayPal as another form of payment.
    * Allowing username changes.
    * Offering domains in several other extensions in addition to our core .WS suffix.
    * Allowing customers to prepay for domains instead of paying monthly.
    * Releasing our Dynamic DNS system so .WS domains are updated in real-time.
    * Increasing the default mailbox size from 100 megabytes to 1 gigabyte (10 times increase!).
    * Being approved as a member of the Direct Selling Association (the world's foremost trade association of exclusive, top-tier, network marketing companies).

So the future is bright

Has any progress been made on these issues (MySQL, php, etc.)?  I'm new and this is as much information as I've found so far.  I too agree that these functions are pretty 'basic' by today's standards, and would help in promoting this service.

Yes! You are correct. But mostly you have to outlay for a year or
two up front, where as GDI it is a month at a time.

Point 2 is that, "Do other hosting services pay you a residual on
5 levels (and more if you qualify), allowing you to develop a long
term residual income? Not at $10 a month, as far as I know.

GDI is a top level hosting service for those that don't want all
the bells and whistles but just want a few web pages on a pay
as you go service.

Does anyone know how I can enable CURL in my .ws server for php?  I don't even know what CURL is.   
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

In order to do that you have to contact the server administrator, because modification is needed in the php.ini file and a regular user does not have any access to that.
