    Hey guys i thought of setting up a free image hosting script into some free hosting like noadsfree.com , oxyhost.com , and several others with some 5Gb disk space and 20-100 gb bandwidth.The hostings i have tried all these : php , mysql , automatic installation , cpanel , etc.They almost have all latest features in them.But after i upload my image or someother script into my FTP account ,i try to open the executable .exe file to install the script and the browser starts trying to connect to 209.190.85.46 but in vain. I have observed this IP in many free hosting services.In some sites it says " 533 filetype is not allowed " whenever i try to upload .exe file of some script.
    Can anyone please tell me y this happens.Also tell me if u know any other GOODIES to share with me which u were successful in having your free mp3 script or image script or anyother script :rolleyes:

    The .exe is a windows application. You cannot install to a webhosting server. Script must be in PHP, ASP, CGI, etc.

    It is not true that .exe are for Windows PC applications, like winword.exe

    .exe can also be used to render web pages on the windows servers. Image and text generator scripts in general are in .exe form. It is possible to run such .exe files under IIS server of Windows Server Families. However, these work in windows servers only.


    You make sure that your web application is allowed to execute executable files also.

    yes ... you need to talk to the host to allow you to run exe files under IIS
