It appears that a number of people are having issues trying to figure out if their ISP or the server they are using will support IDX Free. One of the primary features of IDX Free is its ability to automate the task of downloading the MLS data to keep you within the Terms of Service of your MLS board and to keep your potential clients updated with the latest properties on the market. One of the programs that our software uses to do that is called ncftpget and it is basically an FTP client (program) that will fetch the data for you. Many ISPs do not have this installed and will not give you the ability to install it on their cheaper servers. This is really one of the things you will need unless you want to manually update the data files yourself each week.
A shell account with command line access is something else you will want. Many of the web based server admin software is neat and easy to use, but it is not as robust as the command line interface. So, full shell access is something you will want to ask about as well.
