what do you think is the best free web servers - you know like geocities etc...

DON'T go near the likes of Geocities etc...they're shíte. Get yourself set up with webspace from the likes of Eircom.net etc wich is much better and does not include any ads

Try the Middle East, Ayatollah. Can't give the space away quick enough there.

Also you can take that Celtic team ****e with you.

any servers besides fsn.net that provide free server space with mysql? (this more an webmaster type post me thinks)

I'd agree about eircom.net - set yourslef up with a free dialin a/c - they give you at least 50MB webspace which is up to you what you use it for, with the obvious restrictions - mp3's, porn etc.

You may get 100MB - I'm not sure - but for a website you've loads of space.

Then, if you won't a domain get one which autoforwards onto your eircom.net webspace - if you do it right the visitor knows nothing of where your site is hosted.

The above should be:

DSV is a good suggestion - eircom.net can't offer anything like mysql - frontpage extensions etc - so - do you want space or features!!

well i keep meaning to get my a$$ in gear and get the website done - im making one at the moment for college - a thin lizzy fan site - and thought that when its finished i might put it up on the web - but i'm only a member of geocities - and they are $hite!!!

Not free, but if you want to spend €50 to get 'real' hosting - see http://www.scoileanna.com

Hi Gideon,

I can set you up with a free account if you want to report back to the boards?

Best regards,

Ya sure i'd give it a go. The main reason i was intrested in this was to try out a message board that required php mysql and cgi to run properly and i was only able to get cgi from my host. So i'd need those. But ya if i like it, i'd be happy to sign up to it and reg a domain too.

Alo. (ya can e-mail me through the boards)
