[Vanessa]

We have a new development server available to offer new features on a testing basis for implementation as part of our hosting features. Programmers and developers on business-class hosting plans can now take advantage of the latest and greatest features available in hosting and stay up to date as new ones are available. Here's a small list of what is available with edge hosting:

-PHP 5/MySQL 5/suPHP (now standard on all new hosting platforms)
-Ruby on Rails
-Custom Ruby gem installer
-ffmpeg, ffmpeg-php, and A/V tools (such as mencoder, flvtool2, LAME)
-mod_python
-Web Disk (webDAV access)
-SSH Access*
-PostgreSQL
-Python 2.5
-Subversion

Plus all the great features that you're used to, including:

-Fantastico (50+ self-installing scripts)
-ImageMagick 6
-Shared SSL access

Interested in Edge hosting? If you're not a current customer, please contact sales to place an order and request to be set up on an Edge server. If you're currently hosted with us, send an email to support@inmotionhosting.com and we'll be happy to move you if you wish to take advantage of the Edge hosting features.

Where can we get more information on the edge hosting? I sent an email and was told to look at this forum post. However, I sent the email after reading this post and discovering there was very little information on this new Edge hosting.

For instance, you mention :

"Here's a small list of what is available with edge hosting:
..."

If that's the small list, wheres the full list?

What are the implications of upgrading?

You put a * nest to SSH Access, but don't give the footnote as to what the * refers.

Please give more information...

The edge servers have all the standard features of our shared hosting:

The list given are the additional features provided. You seem to be asking this question a lot -- is there something specific you are looking for?

I just want Subversion access added to my Standard Web Hosting.

This Edge Hosting, from what I was told, by support, is not meant for Production web servers, that it couldb down a lot as changes are made, etc.

Is there any plan to add Subversion hosting to the Business Class Plans?

[Vanessa]

Currently we don't have any plans to implement subversion into our general shared hosting. The main reason for this is that it requires the user to have SSH access, and we currently are not offering that level of access on shared servers.

[spintz]

How so? SSH access would only be required for creating new repositories. Just give my a default "root" repository, and I can go from there. I don't want access for multiple people...just a web accessible Subversion, for myself, that's not public, like Sourceforge is.

[Vanessa]

SSH is used to manage subversion, not just for creating a repository but also for running/stopping the svn daemons, etc. I so far have yet to see a time where we've installed subversion for a VPS or dedicated server customer that has not been followed up with a request for SSH access to manage it.

Is this still available?

Yes it is - you will need to send an email to support@inmotionhosting.com for more details.
