Hi people, do any of you know a good host with PHP and MySQL that is free and is NOT coolfreepages, they are fuckheads with no support or anything. Its gotta be free as i am 14 and and a real cheapass, and havnt got a clue about starting my own webserver. I havnt got a spare comuter to do it on anyway...
-
tripod.co.uk are free, and give you all that stuff, but their server is sometimes slow.
any other better ones please post here as i am actively trying to find better than tripod.co.uk so i can get faster loading times for www.polytheismforum.cjb.net (http://www.polytheismforum.cjb.net)

Thats very odd/interesting. My site is currently at http://tripod.com (http://tripod.com) which is the american version which is also hosted with lycos. but there service is crap. 20mb, no php or mysql. only a cgi-bin which is good for some but not all, ie: me. If noone posts any better ones tripod.co.uk is the go.
PS
On the .co.uk site it says PHP4U is hosted, is PHP4U PHP4 or a slimmed down retard version of php?
EDIT: Fixed some spelling mistakes.

don't know, but it runs phpBB fine as far as i know...
also, yes i know about tripod.com, i also think the italian tripod site gives you all the php/sql stuff, and maybe the spanish one too, but i cannot read those languages so i did not pursue them.

Yes, the spanish tripod (tripod.lycos.es) offer PHP and MySQL, though I don't know about the italian one...
Here's a little list of hosts I know:
http://www.l33t.ca (http://www.l33t.ca)
Seems good.
> PROS: SSI, PHP, Perl, Pyton and MySQL, and "unlimited" webspace.
> DRAWBACKS: 100mb bandwith limit and no sendmail.
http://www.xug.net (http://www.xug.net)
The offer PHP5 (?????) and MySQL, but browsing their site was really slooooow, so I think they aren't worth it (or maybe that was justa a bad day...)
http://www.dk3.com (http://www.dk3.com)
50mb, SSI, PHP, Perl and MySQL. They don't allow running message boards.
Unfortunately, it apears that they don't accept new members (I tried few times, but it allways says a "subscriptions closed, come next week")
http://free.prohosting.com (http://free.prohosting.com) (or was it .net?)
50mb, SSI and Perl.
Yes, I know, no PHP, but they offer a decent service anyway.
http://www.iespana.es (http://www.iespana.es) (spanish)
50mb and PHP. And a weird useless database...
(I think that in the french version of their service they explain which database they use, but I don't read french :/ )
http://tripod.lycos.es (http://tripod.lycos.es)
http://www.tripod.co.uk (http://www.tripod.co.uk)
http://www.lycos.fr (http://www.lycos.fr)
http://www.multimania.com (http://www.multimania.com)
Diferent country-specific reincarnations of Tripod. Only sure about the spanish (50mb+php+mysql), but I think all of them give you PHP+MySQL (I've seen phpNuke running on lycos.fr and multimania)
http://www.hosted4free.dk (http://www.hosted4free.dk)
http://www.host.sk (http://www.host.sk)
As before, some people I know have phpNuke or phpBB running there, but I only speak english and spanish, so can't give any better info.
Is that enough? :D

I'll gladly host your board. Only thing is that I can't give you an FTP account; as far as I know, I only get one (I'll look into getting another one for you if possible).
-
dont you have your own webserver?
-
No, just really good hosting from phpwebhosting.com!
-
well i'd love you to host my board, but if i don't get ftp... what do i get? :confused:
would i have to email you all the stuff, with details of where i want each file to go whenever there was a change?

www.freeshell.org (http://www.freeshell.org) has a one-time hosting fee of $35... 300 megs of space (divided between home, email, web), php, cgi, etc.. I think you can manage that. For another $30 a year you get access to MySQL, and another +100 megs to email, web, home EACH. That's quite a lot of space (if you need it, I guess). No ads, nada zip ziltch.
-OR-
For $10 a month, www.phpwebhosting.com (http://www.phpwebhosting.com) has a nice offer too. 125 megs of space (more if you need it, apparently), multiple MySQL databases, blah blah blah... ad-free and fast.
Really, it isn't -that- expensive, if you look. I honestly think you could afford $10 a month (or $36 once and $30 a year). Or, if you're a sneaky bastard like me, ask for some $$$ when the next b-day comes up. (http://smile.gif)
I despise ads, so maybe that's why I'm willing to pay/support the little guy.

I'm pretty sure www.amzweb.com (http://www.amzweb.com) has mysql and php abilities. It takes 50 posts in their message forum, however to get those privliges :cool:

i will consider phpwebhosting.com as it sounds good, however my ethic is that unless i am making money (which i currently am not, since my sites are basically for informational and community purposes) then i shouldn't spend any money.
As soon as i can think of a way to make my sites bring in $10 per month, then i will go with it! still, it sounds tempting, so you never know...

Well, you could always do amateur porn. ;)

that's a good idea! you mean naked pictures of me of course, don't you... :D :D :D

Sure, there are plenty of ugly people in porn ;) (http://tongue.gif) :D

All you need is a dog, a (line compatible, of course) camera, and you're set!
I still like phpwebhosting, though. I can get 350mb of space if I need it for free, or even more. And they support is superb.

all ya gotta do is find a stunt double for the actual sex scenes because they need to be bi dix for the action scenes

Hrm, I just reread this. It seems to me that I apparantly beat my head against some very hard objects until I passed out, then woke up with a head injury, and wrote this - confusing "Linux" with "line" and "they" with "their."
Calum, what I mean is that I can host the forum. I'll install phpBB and dump the database onto mine (I'll make you a seperate one).

Talk to jent on irc.chatjunkies.org her server is down at the moment, but if you be nice enough you might get Free Webhosting.

that's very good of you! however as you'll see from going to my forum (at www.polytheismforum.cjb.net (http://www.polytheismforum.cjb.net) for easy reference) i have installed several 'mods', which is to say that a lot of the config files have been changed, so what i might have to do is zip up my own copy of phpBB, and email it to you, and also send you my database contents. Last time i tried to do it this way i had some trouble with the administrator password, so we'll need to keep on top of that if it happens too, i'm just a little edgy about not having direct access you see...
i think i might sign up for an account at phpwebhosting.com myself, although the offer is well appreciated, believe you me.
-
If i was rich i would make free webhosting that had everything people reqested.
-
turns out they only accept visa and mastercard, not amex, so i have to wait and see if my visa application comes through or it's back to square one.
-
. . . or check!

well the cost of changing a cheque from GBP to USD wouldn't be worth it in my opinion, plus they need the cheques six months!!! :eek: in advance!
