If you change the credit card for a subscription without first adding the credit card to your Paypal account the subscription will be cancelled.
If this happens, don't worry, I can send you a new subscription sign-up link. Please write to request one.

To prevent this from happening follow these steps at Paypal:

• First, add your new card to your Paypal account.
  
• Find your existing subscription(s).
• Change the funding source on your existing subscription(s) to the new card.
• Then it is safe to remove the old card.

Tip: If some funds are transferred into your paypal account before canceling the old card this will carry you over the time Paypal needs to approve the new card.

Every account comes with one free installation of Joomla 1.5.
Additional Joomla installations can be easily done using the Fantastico auto-installer in your cPanel.

Optionally, you can pay a one time fee per install for additional installation services.
Contact me if you want to purchase this service. The install service can be on my servers ($25.00 CAD ) or on servers at other hosts ($50.00 CAD) providing they meet
the requirements .

The meaning of the name Joomla:
The name Joomla is a phonetic spelling for the Arabic word jumla, which means "all together" or "as a whole".

It was chosen as the entire Joomla! Core Team was unanimous in their commitment to protecting the interests of the project and community.

This name was chosen from thousands of recommendations by the community, and even went through an arduous review session by branding and marketing professionals who also felt that Joomla! was the best choice of the lot.

We use Cpanel the most widely used control panel for web hosting clients.
Cpanel is where you can:

• manage email accounts
• manage ftp accounts
• backup your site
• view site traffic statistics
• Install over 30 open source applications (including Joomla) using the Fantastico auto-installer
• password protect folders
• too many features to list all here

There are books available to help you learn Joomla.

Sections >> Categories >> Articles

Articles can also be Uncategorized in which case they are not assigned to a Section or Category.

 

Typically for a small site start with Uncategorized and as the content grows create Sections and Categories as required.

We use suPHP (similar to phpsuexec) which means that folders and files with permission 755 will be writable by Joomla. Using permission 777 may cause errors.

We use the Apache web server running on a Linux based operating system (CentOS Linux distribution).

You can add domains to your account using your cPanel.
These domains are called Add-on domains.

When you create an Add-on domain a folder is created under the web root of your main domain. This folder becomes the web root of the Add-on domain. (the folder will not appear in browser address bar)

Your main domain and Add-on domains share the same cPanel with one cPanel login.
Add-on domains have their own email accounts, ftp accounts, statistics, and can be targeted for Joomla installs by the Fantastico auto-installer.

The number of Add-ons domains that you can add to your account will depend on how much disk space and bandwidth they use.

For an Add-on domain to work the domain name must be registered and DNS pointed to our name servers. Use the same DNS that your main account domain does. It can take up to 48 hrs from the time you make the DNS change for the domain to connect.
