Hi,
I'm using the kACARS_free at 000webhost.com. I'm making the first very long flight from LPPR (Porto, Portugal) to KBOS (Boston Logan, USA) and it's working like a dream!
Here's how I managed to do so: Opened a ticket requesting them to remove the XML server response "garbage" that was affecting kACARS's hability to connect.
They sent me this link to disable it:
http://members.000webhost.com/analytics.php
You'll need the site full address and it's FTP password.
As it always happens, when something is disconnected on a free hosting server, it has it's own effects on other issues and this is not an exception:
The catch is that you can't have a server's visitors count, but since we are working with PHPVMS, it's done via software, so that isn't a BIG issue for us.
Happy flying!

PS: PIREP sending is yet to be tested. I'll get back to you on this issue.
One thing is for sure: On the presentation of my airline, you'll get to see it, but as far as kACARS flight logging on 000webhosting.com is concerned: IT WORKS! YEAH! B)
