Re: (TV) Domain and webhosting question

[Maurice Rickard <maurice@me.com>]

You're welcome, Greg! The thing with Linux vs windows for hosting is that php on Windows has a limited feature set compared to php on Linux (and other Unices), so not all php scripts will work. (Wordpress, for example, is in php. Not all content management systems use php, but a lot of the ones offered by hosting companies do.)
