X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.9


Unless your existing script explicitly requires php4, I think you can switch your plan to php5 at which point WordPress would work. Of course, adult is against their ToS, so, you've actually got two problems.

I've tried getting WP working on their hosting for clients but never was able to.

GoDaddy does something really odd as I recall. I worked on a mainstream site for someone last year and they were the host. They have huge server farms and try to be all things to all people. I think they allow you to run different versions of PHP by inserting a file in your root. That allows a lot of unsecure and old scripts to be used but at a price (of security).

It's not that it's adult. They just don't seem to want certain scripts installed on their servers.

Really you should get better hosting.

in no event shall your website consist of the following: search results, registration, “thank you”, error, email or chat pages, pages comprised primarily of other advertising or pages containing any of the following types of content:

pornographic, obscene or excessively profane content;


I could be wrong, but, that seems to suggest they don't allow adult sites.

' in the event you are using ad-supported hosting,'

A good host will move your stuff for you.

CD34 of this board owns a host (http://mywebsitecontrol.com/r/1054).
