good web host

[jonos]

anyone know of a good webhost that is free, that has php capabilities, has good bandwidth(not so important), a lot of space (not so important), and one that i don't have to apply for, and one with no adds. does anyone know of one? and any that has ftp because i should learn how to use that...

its rather hard to find a name that hasn't already been taken.

it's called your computer with a web server app and php instaled

i am not kidding, if u got an ok webconection and an ok computer you could uses it as your host. the first versons of compsci.ca (called SWAT then) where hosted off a comp in my basement.

also no adds and only limists are the psical ones on your system and conection.

if i were to do this, would everyone who has done this before be willilng to help me through it? i would have to go through a firewall, would it still work?

[JayLo]

you've got it all wrong people. www.sferahost.com is the place to be. you've got to post regularly though... =\ and you can't sign up for the next couple of days... =\

we whould try, and yes it will work throw a fire wall. u just got to reconfiger the fire wall to alow port 80 traick or w/e port u have your web server set to.

for help on seting it all up i whould recomend posting in php or html.

here are some usfull linkes you will need:

http://www.mysql.com - to get mysql server for a mysql db if u whont that

http://www.php.net - to dl php, witch u will need to run php files on your web server.

http://www.apache.org - a good free seb server app for most os's


------------------

http://www.roundridge.com/hs/ -guid on how to set it all up (php + apache)

http://www.juanha.com/apache.htm - another how to set it all up (php + apache + mysql + phpmyadim)

----------------------


now once u got a web server u will need a way for poleop to find it when your ip chages, i whould recomend one of the flowing apps/free serivces to keep track of it:

http://www.no-ip.com

i forget the other ones, i know there are better ones but there links and names escape me right now.

seems like the place to be as you gotta do this and can't do that yet..

my firewall is a crappy d-link though, and it won't let me change my settings because it is stupid, but maybe i will buy another one. i don't really want to buy a new comp though, but maybe i could maybe build my mom a cheap one and use the family's comp, but id need a bette rprocessor and more ram. too many things to worry about, maybe i will do that later.

hostultra.com is awesome, unlitmied space and badwidt;h

[Dan]

i think u can set the d-link to let one comp be open to the out side or u could just bypase it.

but i can be hectick runing your own server, it is freedom + furstarting work VS nofreedom and having it all done for you.

both are good in there own way...

sweet, I'll be setting up a ROM site now...

[jonos]

the freedome part is soo damm true ;D
but thing is..you are so limited because you don't get tons of options of a webhosting site or w/e gives you :S unless you pay..which is stupid because it's better to just buy web hosting.
