Web host doesn’t allow server-side scripting. What are my options?

05.November, 2009

I designed a site made mostly using Flash and xml. One page uses PHP to send information to an email. But recently (after the site was created) that the host doesn’t allow server side scripting, so I can’t use php. At the moment the company pays $50 a month on hosting services, there are much cheaper options, but they would have to pay like $300 up front for the setup fee’s. Which they are trying to avoid. Though it may be the best option. I could just take out the contact page, and make people email the old Fashion way. I know you can do the same thing with a java applet but I don’t know java and I’ve heard its tough to use with flash.
They are a rip off. Its market america

For this kind of sites any shared hosting like one of these http://www.webhostingtable.com/ would be more than enough.

P.S. No setup fees.

    For $40/month you can get a full VM with 400GB of transfer a month with no set up charge ( http://www.linode.com/ ).

    I don’t know where you are going for hosting now, but it sounds like they are rip off merchants.

    Well honestly that is a complete rip off, the majority of hosting companies offer some sort of server side language. And $50 a month is just ridiculous for no server side, I pay $4 a month for an unlimited everything plan at FatCow.com which offers PHP support. For what you’re paying you could easily get a basic dedicated server. I’d check out fatcow.com, godaddy.com, rackspace.com, justhost.com.

    Well it looks like you got ripped offed from your current host, there are many cheap web hosting services out there that are better than the expensive ones. I myself only pay around $3.67.month for fatcow hosting which I got from a special promo link at googlefact.com . I get A+ support and basically Unlimited Everything. I really am satisfied and even though I’m really picky. I hope it helps you. Thank You and God Bless!

    I use VISI, which is very reasonably priced and has an excellent support staff! They are based in Minnesota and are very user-friendly.
