Topic: Hosting for VLD Personals

Long time no see, I was too busy with everything in my life! Now, I have one more question. Please, if I bug you too much with my questions, just tell me to shut up, I'll understand, LOL. smile And I still didn't manage to come up with a good domain name. All of them were taken sad

Ok, here is the deal: I know that VLD Personals can run on a shared hosting environment with no problems whatsoever (providing that the website traffic is low, of course). Now, if I installed this software on a shared host, and let's say I advertise my website on Google AdWords and lucky for me I get lots of members and my traffic jumps. In this case, I would need to transfer my web site to a dedciated or cloud server environment. Anytime we transfer files from one server to the other, there is a possibility we may miss one file or something may slightly go wrong, right? Remember, when you download files from server with your FTP, it only takes one file not to be properly downloaded to your computer and uploaded to other server to get annoying errors. To avoid this, I hoped I could install VLD to shared server that would also offer easy upgrade to dedicated or cloud environment. Rackspace does not offer this convenience.

Do you have any thoughts on this?

There is a step in between shared and dedicated, and thats VPS, which will keep you happy for a very long time without needing a fully dedicated server. Transferring between shared and VPS or dedicated can be problematical but good hosts will help you through it. Also running a self managed VPS or dedicated server is not for the faint hearted and you'll need a fast learning curve. Personally I use a fully managed VPS with lightening fast and super helpful support, but that host does not provide shared hosting.

I'd highly recommend servint, there is no better service or faster support.

Re: Hosting for VLD Personals

Hi Vlad, I just purchased VLD Personals Commercial Licence, but there is no download link for software.

Also, I want to licence domain that I purchased. Please advise how to download and also register domain name where I will be hosting this. Thank you, all the best.

Update: Everything is fine. Downloaded and installed with no problems! It took me few minutes to figure out how to enable ionCube loader, but everything else was fine.
