Guest Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hi all, Do you know of any free web hosts that offer compatibility for all of the phpVMS files and functions? Could anyone do free hosting for me? Thanks very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cale250 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I can't say what kind of reliability you're going to want, as most free hosts are not that reliable, but I haven't had many problems with 000webhost. There are a couple of things that you have to configure that I suggest you do after installation. If you want those instructions, search "000webhost" or "000webhost.com" here and it should pull up my post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

padsquad43 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'm currently testing it on 50gigs.net works great as far as i can tell I plan on upgrading to paid since it's so cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 cheap dosent mean it will work 99.9% of the time or even 50% of the time, you really have to watch out for places that are like that. Just a fair warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nabeel Posted April 7, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 site5 is cheap and great, also dreamhost. I was on site5 until I ended up moving everything to slicehost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 OK thanks. I was on 000webhost, but it was really slow, unreliable, and I had trouble accessing it via FTP. Just wondering, what should I look for in a host, to ensure it is compatible with phpvms? Is there something that they will have, that others don't?

padsquad43 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 OK thanks. I was on 000webhost, but it was really slow, unreliable, and I had trouble accessing it via FTP. Just wondering, what should I look for in a host, to ensure it is compatible with phpvms? Is there something that they will have, that others don't? On the requirements page, it notes you need PHP5+ (5.2 recommended), MySQL 4.1+ with InnoDB, and points out PHP safe mode should be off. FTP is also needed(duh) and the page also suggests GD Image Library and allow_url_fopen set to ON. At least 500MB should be enough space, and as for bandwidth, don't let 43728907893GB trick you. When there's a lot of bandwidth/space, it usually lacks features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nabeel Posted April 8, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I also need to add cURL to that list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJM101 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Well www.x10hosting.com would be the best free host out there. 100% compatible with phpvms, and I have no complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nabeel Posted April 9, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I've had the opposite experience with x10 on other installs. I'd be weary of any free hosts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenairways Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 How is this website, do you think this package would run pspVMS ok? Or is it missing things. To me it looks like all the things you need, don't know if it is missing somthing or not. http://www.justhost.com/hosting-features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nabeel Posted April 11, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 That seems fine, site5 is good too, I used them for a loong time http://www.site5.com/in.php?id=36298 ^ That's a referral link, I'll get money if you use that, which will go towards my hosting bill, so if you use that, cool !

Guest Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I pressed the link!!!! Anyway, free-space.net has worked for me. Plus, the subdomain name 'f-snet' sounds like something to do with Flight Simulator, which is a plus for me. http://kriworld.f-snet.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenairways Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 The only two issues that I have with site5 is its more expensive and does that come with a domain name included? And I am a bit sick of signing up for free hosting, I have signed up with about 10 atleast in the last few days trying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadams Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I am using site 5, and it is great. I paid a little more and for $115/yr am able to host unlimited sites, and have LOTS of disk space and bandwidth. use nabeel's link so he can afford to keep phphvms going!

Wayne Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 well all i can say is try hostmonster its good price, and you get a ton of free stuff as well as a free domain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
