Default Questions about Hosted Service

I've pretty much decided to go with 68 Classifieds for my project. I'm now down to deciding what route I want to take.

Your site states that you use Rackspace for your provider. What type of service do you use? The answer I'm looking for is something like Cloud, managed or dedicated.

If I purchase add-ons do you install them or am I allowed to?

Will I be able to change the look and feel of the site or limited to stock templates?

If I decide later to purchase a license and go to another server will I be able to take a backup of my data and install on the new server?

Thanks.

The question you should be asking is what service will you get. You are not going to get much better than Rackspace in general are you on a resale?

I can answer the second part of your question. Yes you can add modules , templates and carry out customization on the hosted version. Many people do.

Its your content isn't it. Your FTP space and database. You would of course have to then purchase a license for the software if you moved to another host and do the transfer yourself but that is all.

The hosted edition comes on a fully managed dedicated server with Rackspace. We have been with them before they introduced the cloud system.

Thats for providing the answer I was looking for.

I had a rackspace cloud account. There are some technical reasons that it wont work for my needs. I have an account currently with Hostgator on a shared server. Database outages are a somewhat annoying regular occurrence.

The performance of the demo site is more than acceptable, I assume I would be hosted on the same server?

Like everyone else it seems I have a niche market I want to cater to. The target audience is large and picky. I can't afford a failure on rollout.

Right now I have some friends looking at this and one other package. I'll make a decision by the end of the week which route to take.

Thanks again.

How long does it take after purchasing the hosted service before it is setup?
