I was going to consolidate the dotnetnuke, nGallery, and .Text databases into a single SQL Database for my WebHost4Life-hosted dbvt.com, but if you've ever looked at any of the three databases, you know that doing so would have been very messy. And I had to go SQL Server with each, including nGallery, for integration purposes. So I was messing around in my WH4L Control Panel and in the web-based MS Enterprise Manager I created a second SQL Database. Damn! I didn't know I could create a 2nd database!
Okay, I'm set for dotnetnuke and nGallery, now I need just one more for .Text. So I wrote tech support and they turned me on to the Premium Hosting Plan for $19.95 a month. I had been on the Advance Hosting Plan at $9.95 a month. The Premium plan allows for 4 SQL Databases, whereas the Advance plan allowed for 2 databases. Sign me up, dude! I actually upgraded my account in a chat session with WH4L Sales. That was a first.
So that was sweet. Four SQL Databases at $19.95 a month. After a day or two on the Premium Plan I checked out other account features and saw that I get 600MBs. That's a lot of nGallery pics! But my Control Panel usage statistics said I only had 300MBs to my account. So I email tech support and get a prompt reply telling me that the 600MB limit is a short-term incentive for new accounts, but if I wanted the extra 300MBs in my account, I could do so for a one-time fee of $19.95. I didn't have to think about that purchase either. 4 SQL databases AND 600MBs.
Any WH4L users out there, you should take advantage of the account disk space upgrades. I think the offer is good until the end of September.
