May I suggest you get a cheap box (you could build one for a few hundred bucks, or ebay), get a copy of <your favorite linux distro> and do development locally, beats the heck out of external hosting for development/learning stuff. -Mike

probably. yes. But when you have some bad hosting provider using "insert crappy website admin tool in here", then developing local might also be problematic, because online it might wont work. I have some ensim crappy admin tool online (switch it soon though just started here at the company) and it really does suck. because its based on red Hat 7.3 and RPM package stuff. Installing new rpm impossible and compiling anything would f**ck up the whole admin tool. Yay that rocks >_<

Good point Michael - I do have an old laptop lying around here (which I usually use for tests), so I could easily convert that into a server. I've already contacted my hosters, so I should receive an answer pretty soon. As for the code - lemme get down to setting up that server ;) Thanks guys for all your help - I'll let you know if it works out! J_K9
