Hosting with MAGIX Online

[graphicsfactory]

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)."

I'm an ignorant graphics guy...not sure what this all means. I want to be able to create a business site, and sell a product from it. Also, I need to be able to upload files for my customers to download, and for them to upload and me download. Suggestions?

As I understand it the hosting does not support server-side scripting/languages such as PHP or any kind of database.

Essentially you design pages with static content and cannot have dynamic elements using server-side code to change the content.

Stuff like javascript, or links to other web domains are OK.

You won't be able to host a wordpress site on Magix hosting, or a database, or a dynamic shopping cart. That kind of thing.

It's as basic a web host as it's possible to get.

You won't be able to use any upload/download scripts.

That's how I understand it.

There are better options out there for little money, though the Magix hosting will be fine for many Xara users.
