[Solved] Would add a "general hosting questions" section

Gamer.Saga · March 5th, 2008, 11:14 PM

There is a section specifically for shared, reseller, and private hosting help, but what about the general help that isn't just classified under one of those sections? For example, I personally have a question about a site I want to make... I want to know if it would, in any way, violate the TOS, and I think minor questions like this don't really need a support ticket, so a general section would be good for questions like this.

Maybe that should be changed to All Things

^^' That's sounds like the place I'd go if I was tryin to figure out my ipod. I didn't even notice the section, thanks for pointing it out, but I still think it'd be uber 1337 to have a specific section for hostee's general questions.

Didn't we used to have one for that? or was that just the pre-sale section?

Isn't that what the forums are for? I'm not trying to sound like a smartass or anything, since its hard to read "emotion" on the internet. =) But you can ask those simple questions here too!!! =D

But he needs a section to ask the questions that don't belong in shared, reseller, dedicated section but are still related to hosting.

Oh LMAO...that's what Kayla meant by All things...the All Things Techy forum...ok....I so didn't read that right...nevermind...lol

xD I figured I'd bring it up, cause it just seemed like something that occurs to me often.

Since I'm bored I'll just give some rational as to why I suggested this. As Kayla pointed out:

Still sounds like somewhere I'd go to figure out my iPod, but anyways. The description makes it pretty open to anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, so I guess my question could legitimately be placed here, if it was of any importance (I've done figured out the answer for myself xD I read through all the policies), but when I look at the other sections near it, such as "Domain Names and DNS" and "Coding and Programming", it just kinda gives the impression that it's for programming/design/computer related things. Whereas questions relating to the TOS, and tools like cPanel, which relate to almost all account types, just kinda don't feel like they go there. Well... actually, cpanel questions seem like it could go there, but TOS questions still don't feel like they'd fit in there. So, maybe a section directly related to policies or just general hostee questions would be a good idea. It's not really a big deal or anything, it'd just make things a little less vague, I guess.
