it’s good business practice to bitch at people every now and then about stuff, it makes everyone’s day go faster. 😃 ---

_sigh_ if only I had looks @ [yourhostsucks.com](http://yourhostsucks.com) before I went with feature price!! I just found out (after renewing) that I’m limited to 3 SQL databases!! WTF? That makes 1 for my forum, 1 for my counter, and 1 for my new site I’m building… I’m a little jacked off. ---

> [@whitey](#): > > ic makes a lil more sense… i thought you meant 1 counter takes up a whole DB No, unlimited counters takes up 1 database, I just only have one counter! 🙂 I could probably combine the counter tables into my forum DB, but I don’t really NEED another database, I just tried to create a “test” one real quick one day and found out that I couldn’t have another one. So I just hopped over to an XMB forum that I helped create and “stole” one of theirs temporarily. ---

using log files for statistics… even easier ---

The problem w/ just using log files is that I can’t EXCLUDE certain folders/files from being logged. 80% of the traffic comes from the forum, and only members access that. Still haven’t found a way to do that… :dunno: ---

create subdomain, make users use the [forums.ndc.com](http://forums.ndc.com) log files will then be created for [ndc.com](http://ndc.com) and [forums.ndc.com](http://forums.ndc.com) ---

I don’t know… seems like it’s a $10 one-time fee. I sent them a support request once asking if they offered sub-domains and they told me no… then I found on their website that they do. :rolleyes:
