does suhost support php

**Kane** · May 15th, 2002

I think so. Ask.
edit: Check that: I don't think they do. I think they only do CGI and Frontpage.

Hey, personally i think that a paid accoutn by your ISP would be the best thing but since u guys asked for somethihng free i'll tell you what i know: i curently use MSN communities and i am *VERY* satisfied with their services. they give u a chatroom, messageboard and 3 MBs of space for every e-mail adress. (that's why i have about 15 lol). to check out everything just go to their site. http://communities.msn.co.uk
also, check out my site for a preview. http://communities.msn.co.uk/TeenzForever

Suhost does not currently support php or MySQL.
They say that they will proberly install php on their servers sometime in the future but MySQL is very doubtfull.
It's a shame because they have a great service and the staff are very helpful but recently the servers have been going down. One time it was for a week.

Spaceports has a very poor user interface and upon enabling MySQL or PHP you get error messages come up and it has not yet been activated. In short it's very p*ss poor.

0.catch, freeservers, 10mb - 150mb and the rest of them are complete rubbish. I have used many an account with them before. You get popups, banners and god knows what else all over your site and file restrictions of 512kb - 220kb. NO FTP and a addridden interface. I mean what's the point of 512kb size limits and up to 150mb of space? Also there are bandwidth restrictions.

Tripod/Lycos seemed like a great service suprisingly after returning to find that I still had an account after about one and a half years(for my old site, made me laugh

). PHP4U (Basically php 4.1), MySQL, 50mb of webspace, FTP and lots of help about web related stuff. I was quite shocked. However I wouldnt get a domain or payed hosting from there, even I cant make sense of all the costs there (Many hidden charges like most other places

). You do get phpMyadmin which includes a MySQL database viewer (It's basically mysqlMyadmin with a theme) . This database viewer comes in quite handy and is a very good tool.
File size limits are around 2mb - 5mb (Not 100% sure) but seems quite reasonable. You get a banner on your site but this is only for 10secs. If you run your site in php most of the time the banner script will fail so it becomes banner free (I laughed at this when I converted my site

). However you do experience many slowdowns now and again but server down times seem to have stopped for now....

Geocities (UK) is what I use for my non-php/MySQL orientated site. It's a fair but extremely basic service. You get FTP but no php or MySQL. 12-15mb (Depending on when you join) and has a fairly fast server. It short this one's reliable but basic.

Thats my reviews and this is from a lot of experience with free hosts.

Eddy_skater I just checked your website man...but one problem is that if you want to make a professional site then you might have to use some even better host then MSN....why? cause msn communities are not offering other good things which other might be looking for....by the way thanks for the reference...

You betta settle with a reliable web server that has ads. These free no-ads sites are going to start to shut down like hotcakes
