Understand you 100% man. Totally know what you mean
Thing is, I have the basic site up with 8 vids ready for download... Thats fine on dreamhost. Its working perfectly... Infact, with just 8 clips, it could stay on dreamhost... Forever ! No problem whatsoever...
Its just that now its time to get the billing going. We were going with another company, not verotel, but we had some issues with them. Not going to go into it on the boards, cause they wernt THAT sort of issues...
Actually, I will say what the problem is, so it doesn't cause any speculation. The guy has a legitimate, legal company that is set up for this project. However, the first billing company (When it came to the initial setup) *accused* him of having sent them false company details... But... He hadn't.
Their legal company had made a genuine mistake, but when he questioned this, (Which he had every right to do) and they discovered that he HAD sent legit info... They didn't apologize... (Billing for over individual 8000 videos? Didnt say 'Sorry' ?
)
So he said to me, 'Screw them' Find someone else... As I know these 8000 vids are not the total vids ever, but just THE START OF THINGS... I simply said 'OK Boss'
So I 'found' Verotel'
Been speaking to other people who use them for pay-per-download per clip, they are doing fine with them... Have looked at the setup and all seems straight forward... EXCEPT They say I HAVE TO USE A CGI-BIN to make it work with THEIR SYSTEM...
Have since found out (Thanks to Klaze) that although dreamhost doesn't designate a cgi-bin by default, I can just create one... Simply enough, and all good...
But that's reason I made this thread
