Hi Guys, I am looking for free web hosting with remote mysql access and if possible with cron jobs. One DB and one cron job is OK. It should be on 3rd level domain, so anything.hostingdomain.tld Any tips? PS: I know paid hosting is better and still cheaper, but for this small project I want freehosting with 3rd level domain. Thx for tips.
Don't know of any that exist, unfortunately. Many don't allow cron jobs, but finding the remote MySQL access I think is going to be impossible.
If you are doing quality work then spending $50 per year on your website must not be an issue. Free hosting services come with many conditions which include unnecessary pop up ads and interruption of services. You can opt for blogger instead of freehosting with mysql, cronjobs if you are looking for simple web publishing. However, in case of compulsory requirement of My Sql and other stuffs better opt for paid hosting.
000webhost.com does not allow remote connections Most free hosts don't offer such a service (remote mysql). But check here: http://www.free-webhosts.com/webhosting-01.php. It's one of the most complete free hosts list on the internet.
