Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    ZebraHost Review - Outstanding Five Star.

    Well, now that my application (created in V12) is finally getting some users I felt it was time to upgrade the ram and add some real-time back ups, etc.
    My call to Zebrahost was pleasant and quick.

    I was able to upgrade everything pretty much over the phone, and they took care of it lickity split and at a great price. With so much to be concerned about from security to back up, zebrahost is on the job and an excellent partner for Alpha's offering.
    While there are many options out there when setting up servers, and backup I feel that if you are considering a business model where you want to concentrate on development and let others take care of the infrastructure - then these guys are it and the ones to choose.

    I am posting this for those of you that may be wondering what the best options are. Personally, I ran a VPS first that I was renting from Godaddy.
    I am more than glad I switched.

    Save yourself some time and money, go with Zebra Host.
    And no they didn't pay me to say that - in fact I paid them!

    Zebrahost bare metal server (single) quad core xeon 1270v2 4gb 2*500gb bandwith 5TB raid cost is 339,95 dollars .

    I am happy with my current service provider. in Leaseweb bare metal server xeon 1270v2 8gb 2*1000gb bandwith 100Tb (1000 in/out port) raid cost is 159 (setup 0).
    Leaseweb also takes care of the infrastructure.

      Re: ZebraHost Review - Outstanding Five Star.

      I agree about the fact that ZebraHost is friendly and tries hard to help.

      HOWEVER, I have a couple of clients on their VPS plans and lately there have been spates of VERY slow operation and Alpha doing some strange things (e.g. reports come out with multiple detail lines and we get occasional "Template" and other system errors). Could those errors be unrelated to ZebraHost speed? Sure, but then what we'd have is a coincidence of slow operation and a bunch of anomalies that don't occur at other times.

      My clients of course don't care so I'm going to have to keep monitoring this.

      But, again, I think ZebraHost deserves the praise it gets because they do tend to be responsive (as long as you make sure they recognize your email address).

        I have several accounts at Zebra Host and they are nothing but spot on. I would never place an Alpha setup with Godaddy there tech support is horrible and has no clue when it comes to Alpha, Zebra has the knowledge and has always performed for me and my customer needs. Sometimes cost is not a factor you could be free that's great but if you can not get the support useless to me.

          I agree 100%. ZebraHost is the only host that developers of Alpha applications should even consider using.

                    Re: ZebraHost Review - Outstanding Five Star.

                    For Alpha, Zebra is the answer. I recently had a major issue which I believed, incorrectly, was a server set-up issue. Zebra actually set me up a new clean test server AT NO COST. I know my rep by name and he knows me. He put a great deal of time and effort in to this as he knew the issue was important to me. Though it was not the problem, going through the steps of integrating with the test server led me to the solution. Sometimes, small hungry and personable is better than economies of scale at impersonal corporate giants. With a specialty product like Alpha why wouldn't you choose their specialty server provider?
