Hosting

Backlogs is one of the best plugins for Redmine. It allows you to work in an agile way by creating stories, tasks and displaying beautiful charts showing the project's progress.

Installing Backlogs is quite easy. It gets a little bit complicated when you try to install it in the restrictive environment of a shared hosting provider like Hostgator. But it can be done.

Pushing the limits of the shared hosting account at Hostgator again. This time I've decided to install Redmine in order to track the progress of my private projects.

The nice thing about Hostgator is that they offer, besides the standard PHP, the increasingly popular Python and Ruby on Rails. And this can prove quite handy if you want to do more with your hosting than the average Wordpress and Drupal installs.
