Hello I am interesting in a hosting plan with you guys, but have a couple requirements.

do you offer the the following with your hosting plans

phpbb v2.0.8 forums
cron jobs
and a crucial requirement, do you allow php scripts run from the machine to connect to remote ftp servers in order to download files from it ? (in this case txt files, perhaps 2 or 3 megs of traffic a day )

Thank you kindly, also does the price you advertise include a free domain name

The current version of phpBB that is on the servers is 2.0.8a.

We do allow you to run cron jobs.

As for your final requirement, we would allow such activity if run from the cron. Wget/Lynx are restricted for the root user. Of course if your application proved to be too resource intensive, it would be killed without notice in order to maintain performance integrity, but your situation seems typical and shouldn't be a problem.

Hope this info helps!
