  • right ive bought gatarhost hatchling

    ive got a domain bought www.pitbikeplanet.co.uk (http://www.pitbikeplanet.co.uk)

    and also i have leased vbulliten

    gatarhost said that i had to wait for something but im not sure what it is


    Most likely, they are waiting on your domain name to propagate to DNS. This sometimes takes anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of days. Where did you buy the domain name?

    and also i got the smart ftp client

    hopefully theese are my final questions

    1.where do i get my host and path information

    Not sure what you mean here...I can help you setup your config.php file for HOSTGATOR- just PM me.

    2. i gess my login and password is mine of gatorhost so i think i have that sorted
    3. how do i get the vbulliten i downloaded onto the hosting

    Actually you will download it from this vbulletin site, then you will upload it to your new host. You'll do that with your SmartFTP program after you have edited your config.php file and after you have setup your sql database on your host and after you have added a user to that newly added sql database.

    4. And is it just automatically up after that

    You will need to manually edit your config.php file before uploading it and run the install script to comlpete the install. This is well documented in the installation instructions that comes with the Vbulletin files when you download them.

    if you could answer theese it would be great

    Regards

    vBulletin does offer installation for you. Might be worth the additional cost if you are not comfortable with installing.


  • You can start out with the baby croc and then uypgrade as you need more space/bandwidth.

    It's really hard to guess....start with that package and then upgrade as you need it. Hostgator will notify you when they think you need to upgrade, you can bet on that.


  • No. Has nothing to do with your PC

    Hostgator SwampCroc plan $14.00/mo



    Holler if you need help setting things up!


    i was thinking more of baby as 600gb sounds a good amount and so dose 6000gb bandwith

    especailly for the start do you know how much a forum approximatley takes e.g a forum with 100 members then 200 members etc...

    Your a star at giving advice thanks


  • I don't like to get my domain at the same place as my hosting plan. Gives me more leverage and choices.

    I like to get my domains at GoDaddy.


  • il start with the smallest 1 then for now and then move up sounds like the best idea best to pay when we need it and not pay if we dont need it if you get me :)

    do you know a cheap place to get a domain name ???

    Thanks


  • im still having some trouble

    do you have msn or anything so i can contact you to seek some advice


    and i apologise i willnot send any files

    Regards

    James


  • Please follow the instructions in my post above. If you are a licensed customer this should be straightforward.


  • could i possibly send you my vbulliten softwere ive edited the file you telt me to but im not sure how to make my server work for a slq??


  • You got it! Go Buy it!


  • Hi im thinking about buying vbulletin and making it into a pit bike forum but i need some help

    1. im thinking about buying the leased version but dont know which is the best hositng server

    That is your choice- GoDaddy and HostGator are good in my opinion. You can research this over at www.webhostingtalk.com (http://www.webhostingtalk.com)


    2. how do you get v bulletin onto the hosting server


    Using FTP software. FTP Software like CuteFTP or SmartFTP allows you to connect with your host server and push the files up or delete and copy the files.


    3. will google adsese work with vbulletin


    Works great, especially with vBulletin 3.7 which makes it a little easier to implement.


    4. i run windows vista will everything be compatiable


    Yes - The only compatibility issue would be that your FTP software was Vista compliant. I use Vista and SmartFTP . Works great!


    If you could answer thoose simple question s then that would be great

    Good Luck to you!

    First, it is against the license agreement to share your vB files with anyone.

    Second, to get vB support on these forums you first need to be a licensed customer and register for Priority Forum Support. To do this, please go here:

    http://members.vbulletin.com/membersupport_priority.php

    ...and enter your email address in one of the boxes. You'll need to have your customer number and password to access the page.

    Once you've done this, please post in the appropriate support forum for your version.
