Optional set up of CMS on external hosting

You have the option of running your website on an external hosting platform but there are some important considerations.
If your chosen web-hosting company does not provide everything the CMS requires then some features may not function as they were designed to. If they do not provide efficient service then it may delay Us from getting Your website online quickly.
Important note: Set up is dependent on the external hosting companies ability to provide relevant passwords, access to their database and whether they run compatible software (Php, MySql, ImageMagick on Linux, Mod-rewrite and the ionCube Loader are required and access to the Cron Jobs are an advantage). Not all features of the CMS will run on every hosting platform. We do not guarantee full functionality of every module. Allow a minimum of an additional 7 working days to set up on their servers (This is dependent on the external hosting company). This option is not compatible with our ‘Shared Software’ on-going CMS updates which will mean making updates to your CMS software will have to be done manually. The E-Newsletter mail-outs module and Campaign tracking will not function.
We require 100% payment upfront for websites that are to be externally hosted.
The most common features that other hosting companies do not always provide and may not work are: Captcha codes on forms, scheduled and normal back-ups, image & page folders, automatic image re-sizing, shopping cart payment options. You/we may need to ask your web-hosting company to load specified php extensions in order for the CMS to work correctly. E.g They may need to make a change to the php.ini file, or have the ionCube loader installed.

While it is possible to host the site elsewhere, we do not recommend it. Here are the basic reasons why:

It takes longer to build your site as we are reliant on another company supplying us with the login information we need.
It’s not a guaranteed result that everything will work. Every hosting environment is running different software. Not all shopping cart payment options and features will work as detailed above.
It’s more expensive to keep the CMS editing software up to date in the future. The site cannot benefit from our on-going updates to CMS editing software (Shared Software plan)
It may cost more to install. Shopping carts, dating sites and other more complex sites can be hours of work dependent on what system the other hosting providing is running.

Important considerations: The cost to install the CMS on an external hosting environment is an estimate and may vary. It’s important to remember that if your choice of hosting company cannot deliver the service and software required to run your site (as it does on our hosting solution) or the site does not run to your satisfaction then you will need to find another hosting company that can provide this.

While some website code is accessible, there is some code that is encrypted in order to protect the license. If you intend on duplicating out a site or reselling copies this will infringe your licence and you will need discuss this with us in more detail.

If you direct us to install it onto another hosting solution and it is discovered that not all features work to your satisfaction, your options are to either find another hosting company and direct us to install it on that system or accept the hosting solution you have chosen or employ the services of another web company to do the install. We do not offer a refund on the installation work so you would incur further installation costs.
