Hi all, I'm still kinda new to this web html stuff, but this looks like a great place to learn. Can anyone recommend a good host for my Pokemon forum? It needs to have "mysql basedata". Thanks, Louise
Hello Louise, I use free hosting for pretty long some are good and bad. I recomend a hoster called hyperphp, this have mysql so you can a forum plus this hoster is not have adverts on your site like some so its good. Hyperphp gives me 250MB of disk, you get a sub domain name if you know what that is and you can also use your own domain too. The address is : http://hyperphp.com If you need any help with your HTML i am very good at html codes and design so please post again if i can help. Bye for now Ali m.
I too can also recommend what BuzzBoss has said (BlueHost), its been the dog bollocks so far and you get a ton of tools to play with and its cheap'ish.
Hello, I think free services have came a long way since the start of the internet, such as free email (gmail/yahoo and many more) free video hosting such as yourtube and other copies, I think free hosting is now a reliable service even if free! The support i get from my free host is better than two paid hosts i have used! hyperphp.com is part of Byethost who are the biggest free hosts on the net. they are banner free that means no adverts They use a cluster of webserver according to their site and i read about this is good! Look at this pictire of thew control panel you get and features : hyperphp.com/cpanelpreview.php I make a small list of features here too all this they give me free, i have three accounts Bannerless : No adverts PHP Flags manager 250 MB disk space Automatic installer (29 scripts) 6 GB Monthly transfer FTP account 3 MySQL databases File manager (browser upload) 5 Add-on domains Php MyAdmin 5 Sub domains Password protected folders POP email accounts Web mail I am very satisfied with this free host and think yous who say free hosting is not reliable you should try the lastest hosters! i say you use hyperphp.com !
If you want a free hosting, I'd try byethost.com or 110mb.com. Those are two of the most stable free hosts I've seen lately. And both have a mysql database so don't worry for that. But they are free, so they aren't perfect. I've tried them before and they had some downtime, and I also had some problems when I tried to export the database of one of my websites.
