Glenn9999 Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 just a student so i just intend to use it for practice, web design & programmingYou would do very well to just set up your own web server on your computer, lock down any access to it from outside IPs (i.e. not local IPs *), and do your practice, web design, and programming on it, especially since I'm pretty sure you won't find anything free like you describe.That's what I did when I was playing around with those things.*Hint: You access an internet service on your local computer by checking address 127.0.0.1.
PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 yeah cheapest ive found (that doesnt suck incredibly bad) is http://www.surpasshosting.com/i used to have a free account with http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/Hostingbut im not seeing anything for free there

iceangel89 Posted November 25, 2007 Author Posted November 25, 2007 http://msfnhosting.com/ i know of that, but that do not provide free web hosting? but if it does/intend to i will definitely use it! but 1 think maybe a problem, like many free hosts i tried, the ping is high at >200 but its ok i guess. as long as i can upload Joomla/PHPBB ok
Glenn9999 Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 but i also intend to like host it... like a blog or somethingThen you won't get by without paying out some money - I don't know many free web hosts, and of the ones I know they won't allow the kind of stuff you're wanting to do and will be ad-ridden and severely limited (even most of the file hosts are that way). I don't know too many people that would like you to have free rein to do anything on their servers, either, even if you do pay them. Basically put, you're asking for too much if you're wanting a free ride.
tain Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 You asked for good *and* free. I suggested a *good*one You get what you pay for.
un4given1 Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 You get what you pay for.Isn't that the truth...
ripken204 Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 and there were so many good shared hosting deals over the weekend!
iceangel89 Posted November 27, 2007 Author Posted November 27, 2007 ok anyway, some one provided me the web hosting - the admin was so kind to give me a free account when his site does not provide 1. he said it be good to help a student, me. i dont even know him, not even in the same country, that was very kind of him. he said there will not be 24hr support for me but he sent me my account the same day i requested for it! and replied to emails within a day! i really appreciate that, i must say. its good enough for me, i got what i requested for 200MB space (i dont use much, no big pics/videos) 5GB Bandwidth, PHP MySQL(2DB) FTP no file type/size restrictions. good enough? for a personal blog and computer resource site. he also offered me to ask him when i need any more, but i know i shouldn't ask too much.Under Construction: http://fusion-planet.updownloading.com/
