Questions on a script

ShelbyGuy · #1 02-04-2006, 03:57 PM

Good Day,

I am wanting to install a script on one of my domains.. It is for a directory, but I am not sure if it would get me in to trouble with server load, etc. The script is located at http://www.tolranet.co.uk/software/d...ipt/index.html. Has anyone had any experience with this company?

I do not expect much traffic for awhile, so I know that would not be an issue. What I would be be concerned about is the amount of CPU resources I might be using during the HTML compilation or cron job for checking broken links.

Any feedback would be great. I have wanted a quality directory for some time. Anyone know of a better script? I found an extremely nice one for $450

ouch! And I know you usually get what you pay for, but I want to stay low-budget for awhile.

FYI, I am on the Aluminum Plan.
Thanks!

Doesn't look anymore intesive than some of the CMS scripts out there...I'd venture that if you do your croning off peak you'd be OK...

If not...HG will just disable it and apparently let you discover what they did on your own?

I forgot to mention....did you look at phpMydirectory?

Pretty mature...and not $450.00...

That's what I want to avoid. Last thing I want to do is make a large script purchase for myself, or a client, and then have it suspended by HG. I would undestand the reasons, of course, but it would be nice to have an intensive list of scripts that HG has had a problem with.

Wow! I like the look and features of that script. Lots of available extras too. Do you know if HG supports the Ioncube loader? I have never used it.
