im here for testing this rite now a student cant afford ..all this ..no one born with a silver spoon. by the way thanks for ur kind reply tc
what i would advise u to do is, u can buy some cheap hosting, and a .info domain which is really cheap! and phpLD ... a free script! and start off, ....a free domain, and a free hosting,.... no one is going to invest in u, understand this,....this is a highly competetive market! M.
I would suggest you to at least buy a domain.... Get PHPLD 2.1 - Its free.. You might get a free hosting, there are few people who offer free hosting for PHPLD - Search this forum or phplinkdirectory forum.
Richie, play nice , he is asking questions in a polite manner which is more than can be said for a lot of people around here. Aviz, If you cannot afford the hosting / domain costs for running a directory it is really not worth it because you will not get anywhere with freebies in this industry. To give you an idea of the type of investment, look at the directory in my signature which I have personally invested well over $4000 between March - May. You would be better off sticking around the forum and promoting your services as a directory submitter, try to gain and save enough revenue which would enable you to pick up a domain and a budget host. If you prove yourself as a reliable and trustworthy submitter and build your reputation this will also help you when you do launch your directory. I would suggest searching the Business section of this forum to see how others are promoting their directory submission services and pick up some tips from them.
Ahh,sorry Aviz,I wasn't in a good mood,anyway there was no offense at all. NeoGen has a good suggestion there, a domain would cost you around 8 bucks and it's needed to get a domain.In regards to the script.you can try phpld 2.x or http://scripts.site-sift.com/ (recommended,it's better than phpld 2.x version imo). Feel free to let me know if you need further assistance.
Okay I will give you some good suggestions If you have no money to buy a domain go to www.hostbidder.com and join there and post and earn points If you have 425 points they give you a .info domain (They have some details regarding posting each post should be 3 lines and should not be a spam like this) (And also each post carries 10 points with minimum 5 posts like that read their guidelines) For webhosting go to www.awardspace.com and host your website there they are the best free webhosts I think so Directory script use either www.freephpdirectoryscript.com as it needs less SQL queries than PHPLD! There is another way also )Offer your Directory submission services here( resign from your company\ and then start a directory submission service of your own and invest the earnings by choosing a paid web hosting and buy a new domain and start a fresh!

Hi, how about this, I give you a domain, and a site, and you manage it. If you get to a point in making a profit, all I ask is that you pay me the expenses (hosting+domain), and you can keep using it as long as you wish. All I want in return is to be able to set up to 5 featured links how ever I want them whenever I want them. pm me if you are interested.
just last think can any one plzzzzzz setup a directory just to test it i will tell u the pwd for leadhoster.com and send u the indexscript or any other freephpld wot ever u say ... or just setup asp directory on webng.com where i host my wdss.tk just to check i will b very glad if some one do me a fav
