[jamesm]

I posted this in the general help section but thought I'd post here also:

Have you posted your request in a WordPress support forum?

Have you opened a ticket and asked Fquest if they can roll back your account to where it was when it was working?

I believe many WP experts would be using a different hosting service and might not be familiar with the setup here.

I think someone who's a wordpress guru would be best as he needs to find out what happened and then update/close that.

P.S. What's nonstandard about the setup here?

The FutureQuest set-up is better than the average host's in several regards. The biggest improvement is probably the safe mode. (Terra's going to jump in here because I'm using the wrong word.) But in plain language, FutureQuest does more to protect you and your website, and to make sure that no one's bad code overruns things and brings a server to its knees.

To this end, Terra has cautioned several times in this forum about using typical blogging software (WordPress, Drupal, what have you) on a high-volume site. His reasoning is very sound. These packages are very demanding of server resources, and if a site gets a bunch of hits they will bring just about any server to a crawl.

Other hosts aren't as conservative and they'll say, "Sure, we're down with WordPress!" And then if your blog happens to get slashdotted, they'll shut you off without blinking.

What's different about FutureQuest is Terra tries to anticipate these problems, and tries to engage the customers intelligently about them.

I haven't done a WordPress installation but I've done a number of similar systems. I've had a look at the WordPress installation process and there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary about it. There are a number of WordPress sites hosted at FutureQuest.
