Hosting with MAGIX Online

[graphicsfactory]

I'm considering taking advantage of their hosting offer. Would anyone have any feedback about ease of use, reliability or any other issues?

Thanks!

I think it's a legitimate deal. Plus if you've purchased Web Designer 9 Premium or Designer Pro X9, you get 2GB of storage space, a free domain name, and 5, count them, 5 mail boxes.

In addition to Garys' post - that is free for the first 12 months, then $2.99 I think per month after. Or the free hosting package is free, full stop - but you don't get mailboxes, domains and only 500MB storage.

Also, publishing to MOW is even simpler in version 9. Use the Share menu and select Log into MOW and log in with your registered email address and password, then go to File > Publish Website and it's all there for you.

That sounds very good

On the sign-up page for the hosting package (http://www.magix-online.com/uk/webho...cher.4820.html) some important limitations are mentioned that might make you look for another service provider:

"MAGIX web hosting only supports the delivery of static content. Data which must be interpreted in order to be correctly displayed (such as .php, .asp etc) or has to be edited by programmers at the server end, is not supported (except for JavaScript). In these cases data will be displayed or prepared via HTTP 'as is'. In addition, no databases are supported (MySQL, Access etc)."
