so I am trying to get an idea of what it will actually cost me to host my site here. if I prepay, it seems I can do it for under $10 a month, but when I go to the ordering screen, I notice that it says $10/month for a 50Mb mysql db. I thought mysql db's were unlimited as it says on the comparison page?http://hostony.com/hosting.html] http://hostony.com/hosting.html[/URL]

Also, I already have 2 domain names registered. Would it make sense to simply create a third domain and in my current dns have both my previous domains point to the new? or would that require a dedicated IP? What would be the added cost of transferring both my current domain names?

Hello.
The mysql db is not limitted within your account. You've mixed it with MSSQL database.
You can transfer your domain to our company(you have the right for 1 free domain, so we can transfer one domain for free. The transfer of the domain costs $14.85) or you can configure dns records(set up our dns for your domain) by your domain register company and you won't need to transfer the domains in such a case.

oops, now I see... mssql vs mysql. another question... what does this mean "Free script install"

what kind of "script" would need installing?

"Free script install" means that you can install scripts like PHPBB, Mambo and others from your Cpanel (Control Panel).

is web based email available? (ie. SquirrelMail) if so is it POP only or is IMAP available?

The following web mail interfaces are available:

UebiMiau on Windows;

Horde, Neomail,
Squirrelmail on Linux

(and you have IMAP too.)

You are right, we have it.
