Most Common Questions asked by our Customers

These are real questions that were asked by our customers before they signed up with CVM web hosting. Thanks again for all your feedback.

1. I'm using Frontpage to publish my website. Does that mean I need to be on the Windows Plan?

No. Our Starter/Power plan with Linux will support Frontpage extensions. There is no need to be on the Windows Plan.

2. I have Windows XP on my computer, so do I signup for the Windows hosting then?

No. Your operating system does not matter when selecting a plan. Most of the time, the webserver is transparent to the user.

3. Does your Starter/Power plan (Linux) support ASP or .NET pages?

No. We have found that running ASP pages on Linux is very limited in its use. Therefore, we will only support ASP and .NET on our Windows plan.

4. What is the difference between Unix/Linux and Windows plan.

Unix/Linux supports CGI/Perl/PHP and Mysql natively. Windows will allow you to publish in ASP, .NET pages and has support for MS SQL, MS Access databases. Unix/Linux runs on CPanel and Windows runs on Sphera control panel.

Unless you have a special need for Microsoft Products like ASP, then our Start/Power plan is best suited for your website.

5. I have never used Linux before so I don't know if I can manage my website on the Starter or Power plan. Does this mean I have to pay extra for Windows plan?

No. All our hosting plans do not require you to have knowledge of that operating system. For the most part, the webserver is transparent to the user.

The Cpanel Control panel on Linux will help you manage things like email creation, common script(like Formmail) installations, and backup. If you know how to use a mouse and keyboard, you will be able to manage your website with our control panel.

Please note: This does not mean that our control panel will create your website. You will still need to have knowledge of how to create and design your website.

6. Can I pay by cheque.

Yes. Cheque along with money order and Paypal is accepted but you will still have to enter a valid credit card. During the signup process, simply put in the notes section that you would be sending in your payment. We will process your account but will not charge your credit card.

All hosting accounts will need to have a valid credit card on file. This is to verify that you are of legal age which is required for our Terms and Agreement contract.
