    Which should I start up? A PhpLB or phpLD?

    If phpLD, should I make it free? or should I make it a paid directory?

    Thanks for the advice in advance

    PS: Any hosting companys you suggest I should use?

    i think a combo of paid/free directories are really good.. and o pick phpLD

    ight thats all, and for hosting it doesnt really matter yet i know some big companies dont allow you to host directories, like hostgator

    phpLD is hands down better in my opinion and they have a mod to make it a bid script also.

    phpLB and phpLD both are different concept. You can use phpLB for bidding directory and phpLD for web directory. First you have to decide yourself that with whichone you want to go. Both are good IMO.

    DON.

    I think you should start just with free directory.

    Next when it became a bit larger and quality directory you will think on paid options ;)

    The best script is PHP Link Search.

    Really these are two different business models with PhpLD best for web directory & PhpLB best for starting a bidding directory. Again the success for both depends on link building and promotion :)

    use phpLD. Go for free or paid, depending if your directory is niche or general.

    I use www.downtownhost.com and love it.
