Good Webhosts to host LinksSQL
Anyone know some good webhosts who are suitable to host LinksSQL. I am after virtual hosting. I am currently with JumpLine.net, and whilst I have found them excellent (support etc), I appear not to have either the processor time allotted or their machines don't have the memory to run mySQL properly - I am getting memory errors when trying to import 3,000 links.

I am obviously after a virtual host that offers value and performance (aren't we all <grin> ).

Regards,

Hi Clint,

Before you switch, if you'd like me to take a look at the machine to see if it is indeed the host, I'd be happy to.. Just send me an email.

Cheers,

Alex

I take this back. JumpLine.com are rubbish. They said they had mod_perl and then they didn't! Ahh!

They give 1 GB of space and unlimited bandwith for $20 a month.

Looks good...although I would check to see if they have mod_perl...if not, then you would most likely have to convert the scripts to PHP.

is mod_perl needed? I use cihost and wanted to get Links SQL. In fact I already bought it. I know nothing about PHP..I just spent the last 6 months learning Perl. In the Links SQL req it has:

Optional: Links SQL will work under mod_perl for the best performance. However, this usually requires a dedicated server, and some co-operation from your hosting company. It's not trivial to install or set up.

So it says it is optional. Is this not true?

Well...not really...Read threads in the Links SQL forums about PHP and mod_perl.

Ummm...I think if you read a little more closely, the cost for that size plan is $150.00/month. Take a look see at this link which is their pricing matrix.

Now gxhosting on the other hand http://www.gxhosting.com/packages.html offers 300 meg of storage and all the other goodies you'd expect for $19.95/month, but most importantly to me - direct ODBC client connectivity to my MySQL database. Which although I don't use Links SQL, has enabled me to build a complete custom back-end using DBManSQL and MS Access for inventory control, customer history, invoicing, web catalog updating etc. etc. - all done from my desktop in Access.

It's not $150 a month it is $20 a month. But you have to pay for a full year. Otherwise it is $27 a month. I know because I have that plan ;)

The next version of Links SQL should solve that problem.
