What Are MyPHPSiteBuilder's Hosting Requirements?

MyPHPSiteBuilder by Mirage-Net is built entirely in the PHP programming language and uses a MySQL database backend. In order for you to use MyPHPSiteBuilder, your web host needs to meet the following minimum requirements:

  • PHP 4.3.2 or higher
  • Apache 1.3.x or higher web server
  • MySQL 3.2.x or higher database

The majority of hosts use a setup consisting of a Linux or Unix-like operating system, Apache Web server software, a MySQL database, and a PHP or Perl programming language. This setup is not likely to support Web sites created in ASP or ColdFusion.

Likewise, some hosts use a purely Microsoft setup — with Windows as the operating system, Internet Information Server (IIS) as the Web server, SQL Server as the database, and Active Server Pages as the programming language — and this may or may not support PHP and MySQL. Check with your provider before you purchase.

Finding a good web hosting company should be as important to you as your website. We all know there are a multitude of hosting choices available to you. For online business or anyone else that wants their website taken seriously, free services are usually worth exactly what you pay for them... and it's just bad business paying more than you need to for half of the services that you should expect to get.

We also HIGHLY recommend that your choice of hosting providers is making use of tight ModSecurity settings. ModSecurity is a web application firewall that provides protection from a range of attacks against web applications... keeping your domain more secure against threats of hacking and hijacking. Mirage-Net hosting monitors server activity and updates our ModSecurity settings on a regular basis to stay abreast of new threats. If your domain is being hosted by Mirage-Net, rest assured that you're in good hands.
