Hola!

Our website is still hosted with a free host and as it's growing we're looking for a good quality and affordable webhost. After searching and searching, lunarpages is at the top of our list. But before we sign up, we have a couple of questions:
1. Can we ask for more than 1 ftp account? But we don't want to sign up for the premium plan, as it'll be a waste.
2. We know we can install phpbb here from the control panel, but eventhough we're using ezboard now, one of us is familiar with yabbse, we wanna know which one is better, phpbb or yabbse?

Thanks.

Extra FTP accounts are not normally part of the add-ons lunarpages offer, but I imagine that it could be possible. You can e-mail support@lunarpages.com to get a quote and find out if it is possible.

Just out of interest, what would you need the extra ftp login for?
If you let me know why you need it, perhaps I could come up with a work-around solution.

The standard plan does come with anonymous ftp if you need it.

PhpBB seems to be very popular, so it must be quite good!

I have heard of Yabbse and it is highly rated at www.tucows.com

You can install both of them, and see which one you prefer. I think it's just a matter of personal taste, they probably have quite similar features.

I hope you signup and enjoy lunarpages.

Well, we have several people running our website and since we have fan fictions and wallpapers sections, we also want to allow our visitors to upload them themselves...

Anonymous FTP would be fine for allowing people to upload things. That is what it's designed for really.

Lunarpages accounts use CPanel (a demo of this can be found on www.lunarpages.com ).

It is not designed for multiple users really.

If you don't want to use anonymous ftp, you could always use a php solution. There are "image gallery" scripts that allow you to upload images. They can be found in the image gallery section, in the PHP section of www.hotscripts.com

I hope that helps a bit.

Thanks.

One more question, we only get 1 mysql db with the standard plan and since we're going to use phpbb can we also use postnuke? Or we need to have another db?

It should be fine sharing the one database.

Just create a new username and password for it.

However, it would be much better to get the extra database ordered.
