In previous ixwebhosting review, we look into ixwebhosting for joomla hosting & drupal web hosting, and we even setup a demo site and test it out at ix web hosting server. Now, we are going to do the same review on mambo cms script at ixwebhosting server.
Mambo cms script is another famous CMS script that allow you to setup/built personal site or corporate site, refer screenshot below for sample mambo website. Many built in module and feature that you can use to add functionality to your mambo website; homepage, contact, news feeds, latest news, highlight, search feature, link page, blog, pooling and voting, visitor online stat, etc.
We run a quick mambo setup and installation at ix web hosting, and the website is running now. We manually ftp upload the mambo scripts to server for the installation, and created the mysql from ixwebhosting h-sphere control panel. Took almost 10 minutes for the installation, and another 10 minutes to configure the mambo site via its admin page.
Interested to setup Joomla site at ix web hosting, and not sure whether this script will be able to run properly at ixwebhosting? I have check on ix web hosting spec and also tested this out just now. I run a demo test run on the new joomla site that i setup. Uploaded a new joomla theme as well, and view the live website online. I even have a small voting page setup, and also a blog setup within this jomla site.
You can manually install joomla or use the install central to install it for you. Installing joomla site will consumpt one mysql database, please make sure you have at least one database available.
Drupal open source CMS is getting more common and widely use. If you are new to this, its good that you can get a copy of drupal, set it up, and test out its functionity. This help you to better understand what drupal can do. Drupal is much more similar to joomla CMS. Its allow you to create website in a fly. Adding contact page, member login page, blog, forum, news page to your website instantly from admin control panel. Creating website is as simple as that.
Ix web hosting plan is compatible for both drupal hosting and joomla web hosting. Complete with mysql database and latest php version, and allows .hatccess override and php.ini customisation to be uploaded to server.
If your drupal site require https member login page, you can easily setup secure page at ix web hosting, and you can use the free dedicated IP from IX if you require private SSL certificate for business site of yours.
