True, nothing but problems for a simple upgrade. The latest issue was being blocked for too many connections from uploading via ftp with 5 connections.. On my servers I always run 10 with no issues. 5 should not trigger a block.

Oh well.. glad I got the ssl worked out last night just about. At least there's that. lol

I agree with this. They don't seem to really know what they are doing as a host.
As for web.config, it works like php.ini, you can put it in your web folder, you don't need root access.

Thanks, that probably would have worked for me. The host finally changed the ini file though. I could have done that myself had I had access. In the past when working with Windows it was simple to just connect using Windows Remote Desktop. I did not have the access though so I was stuck going through a terrible gui panel.

I appreciate the support here everyone. Thanks!
