Hi All
I have been contacted by a client to develop a wordpress website to replace their existing static html site. They know what they want on the site (always nice) and wordpress seems well suited to what they need for the future.
But..... Their current site is hosted on an eircom server which as far as I can guess does not have php mysql support. I'm hoping someone here will tell me that they have managed to set up wordpress by installing php mysql independently in such circumstances. Am I hoping too much?
They only have ftp access to the current site which even though I can connect to the server via ftp won't list the directory contents (because I'm not on eircom broadband perhaps?).
The best situation would be to find a proper hosting company but I'm not sure they want to go down that route (costs and such). Any advice?
Thanks
