PHP hosting

Former Member

Can you recomend any peopel that give free web hosting for hosting PHP scripts. Anything over 20MB will. Not to bothered about ads, just none like Lycos uses.

I'm with BTYahoo so I get a shitty Geocities web address.

What about that hosting my self thing? Any more info?

Former Member

Do I put my html files inside Inetpub\wwwroot ?

Former Member

When I go to http://localhost I get asked for a username and password. I dunno what it is, you?

Former Member

urghhh just no, IIS is yet another of microsofts projects that is rediculed with exploits, .

I would reccomend Apache for windows which can be downloaded here

http://ftp.plig.net/pub/apache/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/apache_2.0.52-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi

by all means use IIS if you want to, but ive found apache to be easier, more secure and definately more stable.

just like internet explorer, IIS is exploit heaven
