boran — Thu, 12 May 2016 07:47:57 GMT

I am thinking about taking BT Web Hosting Starter package where I would install WordPress.

So far, I have not been able to find the full list of the features that are included in the package.

Can someone please clarify to me:

1. Does BT Web Hosting Starter package (£6/mo) supports WordPress

2. How many SLQ DBs are included (if any) and what is the cost for additional SQL

3. Do I have full controll of WordPress database, if included

4. Is phpMyAdmin included

5. Can I use php to add WordPress plugins

6. How often sites are backed up

7. Can I buy SSL for BT Web Hosting Starter and how much is it

8. Is email included and if it is how manu email adressess

9. What are the versions of php and mySQL

It migh be a lot of questions, but I find it very unusual that all this information is not included on the product page.

Any answers much appreciated.

Hi markp

Thank you for quick answer and clarifying all to me.

Just to be sure I understood correctly, as WordPress is supported with BT Web Hosting Starter package:

1. Even that MySQL is not included in BT Web Hosting Starter package , am I correct in assuming that I can install

WordPress with One Click and MySQL 5 will be automaticaly creted in order to support WordPress, but I will

have no control over the database or access to it

2. You are running PHP 5.3.28 on BT Web Hosting Starter package, but I will not have phpMyAdmin GUI to access

MySQL

3. You have advised that basic WordPress is included with BT Web Hosting Starter package. By basic, do you mean

no plugins can be installed

Thank you
