Instant Setup Fee

[generalm10]

Hello. I am interested in moving my website (www.jexeca.com) from my old host (www.vaca.net) to HostRocket.

I've noticed that there is a $30 fee for "Instant Setup". Is there some way to avoid this? I don't mind waiting an extra few days for a slower setup if I can ditch the fee.

Secondly, I noticed that there is a "Hourly Admin Rate" which is $65/hour. Does this include the time I spend using the control panel/ftp? Please be more specific about the word "admin"...

I don't think there is away to avoid the activation fee. Setup is all automated.

You can use the control panel / ftp / support 24x7. This is what is included in your monthly fee. I wouldn't worry about having to pay $65/hr.

The admin rates are only for things like troubleshooting large scripts, that kind of stuff. I can't even think of an instance where we have charged it.

Also, I plan to run UBB message forums (infopop.com)

Do you have Zlib compression (for PHP files) installed?

[vizii]

Yes zlib should be enabled on everyserver.

You can look at installed modules etc using phpinfo eg.
the phpinfo for host21 would be http://host21.hrwebservices.net/phpinfo/

Hi, Yes I am a new guy...so far not THAT bad...I joined on the 6th and on the 8th the forums are up...lol
Now my question, about this set up fee when I signed on it said $9.95 instant set-up. $20.00 Domain reg. $14.00 mnt for Econo. plan.
So can you tell me just how much I got charged on my CC ?
thx

okay, thats all good thanks for the answers:

now... I plan to run UBB (infopop.com) with a decent amount of traffic, using PHP.

do you think this will allow for quickly loading pages? or should I consider someone else...

anyone else at HostRocket running UBB? any examples i can see?

ALSO, say I exceed my allotted space limit... how much would I pay for extra space WITHOUT upgrading to the next package level?
