Question:
If I purchase a hosting account from you, will I be to use PHP scripts to parse RSS feeds on my website assuming that I set it correctly? And will I be able to change a file or folder’s attribute settings once I have uploaded the file or folder to my domain?
Answer:
Yes. After you sign up, go to the php-options section of the control panel and turn on the fopen function for remote URL’s. For security reasons, we have it turned off by default. After you turn it on you should be able to fetch and download RSS feeds fine.
You can also chmod files from inside php assuming you either run php as a cgi or (the default) run it as the php module and have the file in question be world writeable.
