RE: [PHP] free web host needed.

On a 'non sarcastic' note... Perhaps the original poster should just set up their own linux box and run it off their home cable/dsl line. I've been doing it for years and it works wonderfully. I'm even now a free-node on the Seattlewireless.net network for people in the hood who need a quick bit-fix (the amount of bandwidth they consume in the 1 hour or less they squat is negligible and I encourage all of you to open your wifi nodes up (with a good firewall ruleset of course)). I digress... I host several virtual domains/hosts for various friends of mine for free. So, it's not unheard of that you could find or ask someone to host you. When I started out in 1995, my local ISP liked my domain name (I used to own "TheMatrix.com" which was the name of my recording studio and hosted me for free). You can also look around in your community. Fe. The bay area has some free hosting solutions that are funded by the state for non-profit orgs. So, say you set up a "Coping with Fibromyalgia" website, they will give you the space and host you. This has carried up here to Seattle as well. Anyways, if you're looking for a free host, then you prolly aren't doing a site with that much traffic. If you start to make money with your site, then you'll have the funds to pay a real ISP. http://daevid.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Jerry M.
