Subject: canaca? Sorry Will, a tad off topic. Shopping for a Perl friendly web host and was interested in your relationship with Canaca, the host you have linked to from this forum. Would welcome anything you or others might have to say about them. Thanks! |

In response to: canaca? I don't recall Canaca. Maybe it was mentioned in a Google ad? We use http://viaverio.com (not They're good. Tech support is outstanding. Downtime is minimal. We use their Virtual Private Because we've never hosted with another company, we can't actually recommend any others. Before you finalize an agreement with a hosting company, verify that your Perl scripts will be able to send email, or seriously restrict it. Some hosting companies don't. GoDaddy, for example, requires all outgoing email from scripts to be sent through their own special script, which kills functionality of pretty much any other form handling scripts, autoresponders, recommend forms, and so forth. Also, some hosting companies allow Perl scripts to send email, but all such must go to their own servers -- something else to ask about. |

In response to: canaca? Thanks Will, I'll check out your host too. Canaca was linked at top of right hand column, just above "CGI Support Center". There's "mexican dishes" there now. Phil |

In response to: canaca? Followup, Canaca was blasted by a number of disgruntled users on another forum. This could be meaningful, or not. The users could be real, or imaginary. I went with http://www.micfo.com/ So far I'm impressed (free Urchin stats and ability to serve multiple domains from within one modestly priced shared hosting account) but it's too soon to make any bold statements one way or the other. Searched for micfo on webhostingtalk.com and found a number of happy customers. It's always possible I'll be back here later reporting why I made a big mistake etc. :-) |
