    I bought the domain name myhugedirectory.com. I want to use a free script because I'm on a very low budget. I uploaded ADP to it now, but looking for alternatives. Any suggestions?

    I was about to ask the same question. I've seen a lot of avatars of site-sift lately, and he has also a free script.

    Is it a good one? I didn't see you talking about it in this post.

    i agree with the guys above...phpld is a great choice. if you ever dabble in joomla then mosets tree or mosdirectory are great choices with tons of flexbility

    PhpLD is the most popular script, which goes some way to explaining why it gets the most advocates - it's also the best known. There are also free versions of Indexscript, Esyndicat, the Snowblind directory script, and now PhpLynx. All of them have slightly different features, so I suggest you look them up for comparison, as well as the Site-Sift script.

    Which one is best for you will depend on what you want most out of the script - ease of use and installation, lots of skins, mods, spam-busting, or something else.

    Hi,
    Give eSyndicat a try.. Note when you use script you should take in account many things. Support, development speed, code quality, templates, etc. So you decide what software to use.

    Thanks for your input. I think I will go with the PHPld as well. I want something easy to use (I'm not technical... Don't like headaches). So I think a good community support will be better.

    I want to have easy moderation panel as well.

    Yeah, good work on the directory ;) If you get a spare $30 though you should invest in the v3. It's really good, and you get to support the guys that wrote the script :)
