If you are wanting to run Web Wiz Forums, then neither of the plans would be any good as those databases are not supported.
It also looks like they could be Unix servers, again, Web Wiz forums, will not run on Unix/Apache/Linux.
Read the Forum Requirements page found in the left menu to get the server requiremenst for the forum software.
Web Wiz Forums will only run on Windows web servers running MS's IIS
web services with ASP enabled. The databases supported are Access and
MS SQL Server 2000, with MS SQL Server being the better database.

Hi Borg,
yes i want to run Webwiz.
The cpanel wont work as because it doesnt support ASP.
About the Plesk, any wayout to convert the Access db to those ones they support ?

One more thing,
Cpanel is UNIX no doubt abt it
In plesk, even if its unix, they say it runs ASP by whatever way they do. maybe chillisoft or whatever or may windows server.
So we have to think about plesk.
on that how to convert to the db they support ?
So the options left are
mySQL Unlimited - Yes
PostgreSQL No
So how to get it working with mysql ?

Sorry, no, not without re-writting almost every file in the forum.
Read the requirements page, as those hosting plans will NOT run Web Wiz Forums.
Web Wiz Forums will only run on Windows web servers running MS's IIS
web services with ASP enabled. The databases supported are Access and
MS SQL Server 2000, with MS SQL Server being the better database.

Web Wiz Forums will only run under Windows, with the IIS web server, which also only runs on Windows.
Even if other OS's and web servers support ASP, with thrid party software like ChilliSoft, web wiz forums will NOT run.

Let me write it in capitals and read slowly.
WEB WIZ FORUMS WILL NOT WORK WITH MYSQL.
A conversion tool will not work, the two hosting plans will NOT
run Web Wiz Forums. You need to look else where for hosting or use a
different forum package.
