Howdy all

I have a website (railways orientated, or course

) and I need a free PHP/MySQL host. Eventually, once i've got a steady income, I'll have a PROPER website, but until then, I need a FREE one.

My site is currently at FreeWebs.com, but im pretty sure that they're not PHP/MySQL.

Thanks in advance.

Have a look at http://www.uklinux.net - it's free providing you dial in through them at least an hour per month

Yea thanks, but I need a Windows-based one, and a FREE one (may sound very stingy, but im not the one that pays the internet bills, and my parents go ape sh*t if i do stuff like that)

when i've got a steady income (should by by November this year, as then i'm legally allowed to get a job) i'll get a domain name and build my proper sites (gonna be four sites in total, comedy, railways, computers and my homepage)

i used http://www.portland.co.uk until i moved to the UKTS servers. not sure if it's windows based though!

If you had no problems with them (assuming your in Windows), then I doubt that I'll have any problems.

it was a very temperemental host up until about 2 months ago, then it seemed to get all the problems ironed out and was pretty solid although it can come across as a little flakey when things like the 'request password' feature don't work! oh, another plus: no banners.

and yes, i use windows.

Sorry, I missed that bit - still this is UKtrainsim, so I assumed - fatal error I know!

An ISP is an ISP - it doesn't matter what computer make or OS you connect with!

But anyway it's irrelevant as you're not in the UK - apologies!

what do you need the php for?
for a paticular script or what?

Yeah I've got the phpBB group forums (ukts ones) and they're php, so I need a PHP/MySQL compatible host, as you need MySQL to run the forums.
I'm also looking into using PHP for all my future web page developments
