Question:  Can I host Movable Type on 3Essentials

ANSWER:
  • Linux Shared Hosting: Yes, 3Essentials Shared Linux hosting meets the minimum requirements for Movable Type, so it should work fine on our Linux based hosting, however we have not tested all features and functions. 
  • Windows Shared Hosting: Movable Type says the product works on a Windows/IIS based installation, but our testing indicates it is not well suited for Windows/IIS, and as result we consider it not supportable on our Windows Shared hosting services.  Though our Windows Shared hosting meets the minimum requirements for Movable Type, and Movable Type states their application will work on IIS/Windows hosting, our testing stability issues, and random problems when run on a IIS/Windows environment.  Therefore, we will not perform an MT installation on Windows (as we do other 3rd party applications) and we will not troubleshoot MT functionality problems beyond basic hosting configuration and permissions concerns.
