Post subject:  FREE WEBHOSTING...??

my brothers friend has just bought a hotel at niagara falls, and instead of hiring a pro to do his site...he figures it'll be cheaper to hire me...and since im doing summer school..i really dont wanna work....so i figure this'll get me some quick cash...but enough about that...for what i came for...i need a place that i can host my beta site...so that he can check it out and buy it if he want....anyone know a good FREE web host
POINT OF THIS TOPIC: anyone know a FREE webhost that has a per-file-size-limit greater than 1MB....and some pretty heavy bandwidth..as i will be constantly uploading and testing...and FTP access (preferably)...and ofcourse large v-space....list any sites that u think i mite like...and i;ll scan for my purpose
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH....(only to those of u who help, im pretty sure this post(like the rest in this forum) will turn into a post about nonsical matter and have nothing to do with how it originally started...but try to help before you "spam"..thx)

dont u realize that would put ur computer at risk...if u were hosting your own site...then i could prolly trace ur ip faster than it takes to make 1 minute rice (for me..thats 5 minute rice)

tracing IPs, oooo scary! Razz

Speaking of which Void's ip is: 24.114.59.164

lolz asok...ur right..that is my IP...i kno its easy to do...im just saying...thats not even half of the danger u place ur computer in if u use it as a server....especially if ur like me and have a gazillion games and songs on it..u dont want anytin to happen to ur comp...

there's nothing that possibly could happen to your computer unless you set your permittions on public access or if there's a spyware on your computer or something...

*sighs*

first off, when it comes to Computer vulnerability, making your computer a server wont sacrifice stability, (well it will for me because I'd have to take down my firewall but u get my point). Secondly, the vast majority of people have trojans on their systems and don't know it. These people deserve to be hacked, simple as that, if u're so bloody stupid that you download "FREE PORN.exe" then you deserve what's coming to you. Then you've got the other idiots that 'inadvertantly' download e-mail viruses. ie. "homework.txt.exe" Good job moron you've now installed 3 gigs of porn on your computer and your address book has now become a tool to fuck other morons, and the cycle continues. I hope you die.

Like my sister. I swear, she falls for EVERY FUCKING POPUP!

"Mom! Mom! It says our computer has a virus!"
"It says that we 'May be infected'!"

Ahh, hosting a site is not riske, But i can get and anyway...your not going to host a whole big company on your crappy comp are you? ( unless your dumb ) nothing important to steal from a home comp Smile. And also tracing an IP does not help in hacking much....all you can do is ping the guy as many times as you want (unless a guy like me, who has dynamic ip. They have to get my ip evertime i restart my comp...which is a pain Smile ) But sitll...any hackers here? Tell me, termix-zero.ath.cx = hosted on ma comp Smile

he said that he's only going to use the server to test, and show the guy... see if he wants to buy it. and for that reason i would say, setup a server on your computer to save on bw and such stuff, it's not very hard to do. this way you just save your files in a folder... run localhost and browse to the file then get your comp to execute it for yourself, you can even execute php scripts in dos.

and if you're too lazy to set it up manually, I do believe there exists installers that will install apache, php and mysql all together and painlessly (not that setting them up manually is painful... but probably faster to use installer)

I think meant make an internal loopback server, where you access it via http://localhost.

anyone can get that information about the owner of a domain by using a whois lookup.. which pretty much all domain registrars have... that information is not protected or special in any way Rolling Eyes

ok I have a different situation, I want to know what is the best host with the HIGHEST bandwidth cap.

Tripod, my current host, has such a shitty bandwidth cap that I was locked out after just 30 minutes, and I don't even have much media on it!

http://asok-asuk.tripod.com/

that's the site, consider yourself lucky if you can access it. I need a host with higher bandwidth caps. can anyone help me out?

Who has found any extremely good free hosts.
I use http://www.web1000.com but they dont have cgi-bin or php
if you dont need those features and want a good 50 mb site with what appears to be no file restrictions (from what i've tried - and i had a ~3mb jpeg up) and you're allowed to do pr0n sites (if that interests you) ... and no the ~3mb jpeg wasn't pr0n...


so what's the best free web host with php / cgi / mysql ?

one that could hoost a phpbb ...
i've searched around for a while ... and those sites posted earlier didn't help... maybe just cuz they didn't speak english... but i couldn't find the free web site signups...

Thanks in advance[/url]
