I was wondering, has the service degraded to a point? I thought x10 hosting provided a 1000mb storage solution as well as a 100,000mb bandwidth limitation per each account. However when I look into classic v3 cpanel theme wise I see my account space is limited to 512mb, whats the deal.. has x10 hosting degraded in my absence of trying the hosting services out?

Hi nullproj,

We offer unmetered disk space and bandwidth. However, to help combat abuse, we initially start accounts with 512MB disk space. When your account has been active for 7 days and you are using at least 50% of your disk space, you can request for a free upgrade. :)

Thank you,

You can request to extend the storage you're currently using. This is a "hard" limit so that people can't really abuse the storage by storing large files straight away that are no use to the functionality of the site, such as backups.

EDIT: Ninja'd!

Ah, I was wondering about that, now that I think about it that was the case before but thought it was more, faulty memory I guess. I may plan on going to premium hosting at some point but I plan on working on getting a working website out first, well working sites out first using addon domains and parked domains, seperate sections of a website rather all stringing from one database. However, a second question. Is there a way for me to change my current username of the forum or change the look of the username like adding an alias to the x10 hosting forums?

Also, what kind of scripting langauges are usable? Python, Ruby, Javascript, any of these other than PHP? I plan on making a massive website...

Also, when I try using a parked domain it wouldnt read my /public_html/ folder, instead it gave an error, I tried being fancy about it to see if there was a way to redirect direct to public_html but it produced another error, is something wrong with the park domain service by chance? http://sector-sin.tk/ for reference.

No. Unfortunately, the forum name is woven deeply into just about all of the other systems here, so changing it isn't a trivial process. Staff will occasionally change a name if there's a sufficiently good reason to do so (like the automatic padding or the truncation on registering creates something truly embarrassing or vulgar or some such), but that is exceptional rather than the rule.

Okay what about the error as well as the other question like what kind of scripting languages are made ready for use in x10hosting free package and what scripting languages are made ready in premium, is there a difference or the same?

To answer the edit: only PHP is supported for scripting on Free Hosting. (Client-side JavaScript is just static files as far as the server is concerned.) You would need a VPS to run Ruby, Java or server-side JavaScript (in node.js or another environment, like Rhino). Python (2.6) and Perl are available on Premium.

Parking your domain shouldn't mean pointing to anything; it's an alias of your public_html. If you're specifying a folder, it's probably trying to find public_html/public_html/.

Eh, id have to run some tests, see if thats what I need to do, if so I already have a VPS at my disposal, id just want to actually take use of cpanel features and a webhost rather than jump right into the VPS i currently rent to do this kind of work, having to do that I would have to set up my own server packages... and that would be a pain really. I have time and its not like anything is going anywhere, however my site uses... http://sectorsin.x10.mx as a domain but when I go to http://sector-sin.tk/ the two domains show two different things... the x10 domain shows a directory listing, and the .tk domain shows an error...as far as the error is concerned its still showing the /public_html/ error on my end where it redirects to http://sector-sin.tk/censored_location/censored_username/public_html/public_html with this as the error

Not Found
The requested URL /censored_location/censored_username/public_html/public_html was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


the censored_location and censored_username are alterations, they are of my root path location and changed them since this is being posted on a public forum.

That does indicate that you've aimed your domain at /public_html, which doesn't exist within your public_html directory. Again, parked means that it's already pointed to public_html; adding the target means that you want to point it to another directory within public_html.

Ah well I'll see if the hosting package for free suits my needs as far as website development goes, I am hoping so but it might need some javascript features to make the whole thing function like I want too...

JavaScript that runs in the browser is no problem*; it's only going to be a problem if you want to use it as a server-side scripting language.
_______________________
* It can become a problem if your client-side JavaScript makes frequent requests to a server-side script, like for continuous near-real-time updates. The Free Hosting environment isn't suitable for that, since there are too many active accounts per server. It shouldn't be a problem if the updates, etc., are based on user interactions or are relatively infrequent (minutes rather than seconds between updates).

Cool, that pretty much answered my question, I don't really need javascript that runs on server side scripting for the most part, in some cases I might at a later point... but in the development of the website I was hoping to at least take advantage of the client side aspects to make the website more functional.
