Cheapest Domain Hosting – Operating Systems Compatibility and Hosting Quick-Install Applications

Value applications are compatible with either Windows or Linux operating systems. PHP 5 is enabled for all Linux hosting accounts. PHP 5 is enabled for Windows hosting accounts running IIS 7, only. If the value application you attempt to install is incompatible with your hosting account operating system, you can either purchase a new hosting account with the appropriate operating system or migrate your existing account.

For information on migrating an existing hosting account, see Switching your hosting account operating system.

Below is a description of our hosting account operating system options:

Windows

Windows runs Microsoft software such as Access and MS SQL databases. Windows servers also offer Web developers the use of Microsoft’s programming environments such as Active Server Pages (ASP), Visual Basic Scripts, and MS Index Server.

Linux

Linux supports a wide range of software, applications, languages, and databases. However, Linux is not fully compatible with some Microsoft technologies. If you are already using Access databases, ASP, ASP.NET, MS SQL, or VB development tools, then Windows hosting is a better choice.

In IIS 7, Value Applications applications requiring PHP 5 can not be installed on sub-domains or aliased domains which point to sub-directories.

About application installations for subdomain or non-primary domain

The process to install Value Applications applications differs depending on where you want to install it:

Subdomains

Subdomains are prefixes to your website’s URL. Any domain hosting account can use subdomains of any domain name it hosts.

For example, you could create blog.coolexample.com orstore.coolexample.com on the hosting account for coolexample.com, where blog andstore are subdomains, and then install applications on any of them.

To Install Applications on Subdomains

  1. Log in to your IFindHost – Cheap Domain Registration, Cheapest Domain Hosting Service account.
  2. Click Web Hosting.
  3. Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Manage.
  4. Add the subdomain to the hosting account. (Note the folder you create or select for your subdomain)
  5. In the Popular Apps panel of the Hosting Control Panel, click Show All.
  6. From the Categories menu, click the category you want to view, and then click the application you want to install.
  7. Click Install Now. This button appears only when a compatible hosting plan resides in your account. For a subscription application, click Subscribe Now.
  8. Select the domain name you want to use and click Next.
  9. If the value application requires a database, enter a database description and password, and then click Next.
  10. Enter the folder you previously specified when you added the subdomain to the hosting account. If you leave the directory blank, installation occurs in the root directory. If configuration information is required, click Next. Otherwise, clickFinish.
  11. Enter configuration information, if required. Click Finish.
  • Install the application in the folder you created or selected for the subdomain.
Non-Primary Domain Names

If you have a Deluxe, Premium, Unlimited, or Ultimate hosting account, you can host multiple domain names’ websites on one hosting account. We call these “secondary” domain names non-primary domain names.

For example, if you set your hosting account’s primary domain name is coolexample.com, you can add hosting for coolexample.net andcoolexamples.org, and then install applications on any of them.

To Install Applications on Non-Primary Domain Names

  1. Add the domain name to the hosting account.
  2. Install the application you want to use.
