Hi Alex

Would I be able to switch between PHP 4 and 5 (I think I asked support that a while ago and they said yes..)

- No you cannot. Our shared/reseller servers offer PHP4. Dedicated servers can be configured to use either PHP4 or PHP5 for your sites.

Is there an API available for the Ensim reseller panel / user panel which would say allow someone to create things such as email accounts through a script, or would that not be available until the Pro X version is installed / Not be possible because of security?

- No there is not an API (and not on Pro x either). Dedicated server customers have root access to command line tools which can be developed to allow similar things. We have dedicated customers automating.

If I started with reseller, and used a domain I had as my nameservers, would it be possible to change the nameservers later on?

- Yes you can change nameservers later on.

If I needed a (stable) module / add-on for Apache or PHP installed in order for a script to run, would you be able to install it?

- If your a dedicated server customer yes, if your shared/reseller then no we have a default php build installed and you cannot have this changed as it would affect people you share the server with.

I don't think is covered in your TOS, but do you allow proxies?

- Again for dedicated servers you can, for shared/reseller no.

The questions you ask are very much leaning towards the flexibility of a dedicated server, you will find it very difficult to get a shared/reseller account allowing many of the things I answered no to, on any host.

Please contact our sales team to discuss anything further as it sounds like your requiring something quite custom so we would love to talk with you directly about those things.
