Thanks for that John and for the swift reply. Our situation was exacerbated by us being an outside agency and therefore needing a third party contact within the school. They had to put through our requests and they weren't familiar with Wordpress... Obviously those issues are outside of this problem but do affect our opinion of the overall experience. If we were to do this again we would contact you first and flag up any issues as they arise. Nick

Hi John Thanks for asking. The site is now live but it was an ordeal. It is doubtful we would take a job involving EMBC hosting again. The support was incredibly variable, ranging from very helpful to borderline obstructive. The hosting set up element was a disproportionate amount of the job and it needn't have been. The odd thing was the permissions issues we were expecting weren't a problem, which was nice, but the (human) permissions problems from support were a huge pain.

I haven't tried that, no, but I think Synetrix will do that. At the end of Friday they said they would install it so I will see tomorrow. On their own admission this is relatively new to them (cpanel/Wordpress) so I am building the site on our server space as well and may just get them to point the A records to that until they are further down the road. I've never come across ohisp before and there's next to nothing when you Google it, so hopefully, when it's all sorted this can be a roadmap for the next school. I can't imagine there won't be other schools using Wordpress with them - so all info should help. Thanks!

Hi I have posted this in (general) web development so apologies for cross posting but it should probably have just gone in here... We installed Wordpress via Fantastico on the cpanel and all of the links seem to be pointing to the root not the ohisp address and therefore not working. As we wanted the site to be viweable by the Head teacher before it went live we are a bit stuck. What's the next step please anyone. I have emailed servicedesk... It's the OPENHIVEisp thing... Thanks Nick
