    Hello, i am looking for some guidance on two subjects please. The first subject is free web hosting. I am looking for a free web host, that is reliable, and offers mysql, and php functions.

    The second subject is databases. At the moment i pay someone here on DP to install my scripts, as i am unsure how to set up a database. Installing the actual script, i have finally managed to work out, just not so good with databases. Can anyone please recommend somewhere, where i could get an "idiots course on how to configure databases".

    kind regards
    les

    www.x10hosting.com are quite popular for free hosting. (They offer cpanel with hosting accounts)

    What type of scripts do you use? if you use wordpress or other big CMS systems out there. You can use fantastico script installer on the control panel (cpanel) in which is very simple to install a script.

    cheers danny, will take a look at that hosting company. I have downloaded a pixel ad script, and am just looking at playing with it, just to learn about configuring databases, so that hopefully in the future, i can save on getting someone else to do my installations. :D
