Affiliate Backup Requirements:

The server requirements to use Affiliate Backup are as follows:

Requirements
	PHP version 4.x.x
	A MySQL Database ( this is the norm on most webhosts that offer cpanel or plesk)
	A Cron Job ( This on most webhosts which offer cpanel or plesk )
	Ability to run IonCube Loaders (these are included in Affiliate Backup)

And that's all!

Do I need Linux or Windows hosting?

Only for Install purposes

It currently operates and is fully supported on Linux Servers. Which 95% of the time your current hosting providers are operating Linux vs Windows. It is a lot more popular!

Be sure to check with your hosting provider prior to purchasing.

If you are searching for a reliable web host, we highly recommend HostGator for a quality hosting service that fully supports Affiliate Backup

What are IonCube Loaders?

IonCube Loaders is special software that runs on your website to allow AffiliateBackup to run. It is free, and comes with AffiliateBackup.

Many webhosts will already have IonCube Loaders running on your server, and the ones that don't usually allow AffiliateBackup to install them for you automatically.

If you're worried about this, then you can simply email your hosting provider and ask them if they have IonCube Loaders installed on your site, or if they allow IonCube encrypted scripts to run. There shouldn't be a problem.

Can you install it for me?

Yes we can for free, though we recommend you give it a go first, because it is very simple to install and takes only minutes. But if you would like us to do it, open a ticket with your request and provide the domain you want it installed on, the full ftp information, and the login and pass for cpanel or plesk so we can setup the mysql database and cron job.
