Hi NuBlue,

I am having a little trouble trying to set up multiple (different) websites all containing different products orders,properties and clients.

I realised that the database could quickly become unmanageable and therefore I am thinking of moving to the your platinum plan and have the following questions:

1. Can I install Magento myself using an ftp to upload the files and use the php install file?

2. Can I use PhpMyAdmin?

3. If I expand to have more than 6 sites within the next 8-12 months, would I need a second account or dedicated hosting?

Thanks

Hey,

In answer to your questions, please see below:

1. Can I install Magento myself using an ftp to upload the files and use the php install file?

Yes you can that's not a problem, you will need to setup the database first.

2. Can I use PhpMyAdmin?

Yes phpmyadmin is a part of plesk in the database section for the domain name

3. If I expand to have/need more that 6 sites within the next 8-12 months. would I need a second account or dedicated hosting?

When getting to this kind of size you would need to upgrade your account to a VPS package:

This would probably be the direction you would want to go anyway as the VPS is the needed solution to provide PCI compliance.

Please don't hesitate to get in contact if you have anymore questions

Kind Regards,

Ewan
