We would definitely be needing shell access. More questions: I use PHP-Nuke on my current site, but I don't have access to my SQL database. If I use PHP-Nuke on an irev site, would I have database access through a web interface? Also, I'm currently running version 5.5 of PHP-Nuke, but the latest version available at this writing is 6.0. What extra charges, if any, would be incurred for a fresh install of version 6.0 (or whatever version is available when I obtain my irev acct), migration of my current SQL database into it, and making that database compatible with the new version of PHP-Nuke?
