I have been using it on one of my sites for a couple of weeks now and have been very please with v1.5 I'm actually in the middle of installing it on a 1and1 dedicated server and its going smoothly so far.

I'm assuming simpleservers is promoting the fact that they support Elgg, and I have no problem allowing comments that advertise that fact. However Elgg would be a better program if it were easier to install and configure, and you didn't need to go to a hosting company that had already climbed the learning curve. Ideally you should be able to install it with greater ease on a wider variety of setups, as is true with many other open source software package. I agree Elgg is a great program.

You should try the new version. The best company for hosting seems to be simpleservers. They did a free install for me within 2 hours of signing up. I was with fasthosts but their support was terrible.<br/><br/>http://www.simpleservers.co.uk/elgg_hosting.php Elgg one, is great. You should try the new version.

For instance, it is not possible, from my experience, to successfully install the Elgg software on 1&1 Hosting servers. 1&1 is a huge hosting provider. Questions posted to the Elgg forum on the subject have gone unanswered for over 4 months. Looks dead to me. I've heard DrupalEd is great, so I will be testing that next.
