Hi,

First of all I would like to know that is there anyone who installed movable type on astahost servers before. May I have any problem about installing the movable type?

Is fast cgi module installed on astahost? I asked this question because movable type's new version can run up to 15 times faster with fast cgi.

And finally if my site is hosted on astahost with a subdomain ( like hikmet.astahost.com ), can I buy a domain and register it later.Sorry for my poor English.

Thanks.

I don't really know, but I think yes, you can use movable type and can add or park o top level domain using astahost namservers, because you get the famous and amazing CPanel.. Apache is loaded with the module mod_fastcgi.. In fact, here is the info:



Hope this helps

Thanks for your reply.

A little more details concerning this question - yes, you can switch to a domain later on, but you are required to pay 15 credits in order to change a domain name. This is done via the process page on Astahost. However, if you are determined to buy a domain, it might be a good idea to do so before applying for hosting, because you would avoind the domain change fee.

Thank you very much. I agree with you it is better to buy a domain name before applying for free hosting
