Php 3,mySQL, CGI access (SSI), Personal ftp, 15 megs banner free space, limited support and more. Business and Personal.

Don't know if anyone else heard of it, I haven't. It says only 200 sites are hosted so I'm guessing they are pretty new.

Finally a MySQL host! Thanks for telling us! Unfortunately, I bet that it will become slow in a few days.

Wait a minute... This looks like another portland reseller!

I haven't looked, but how do you tell if it's a Portland reseller? Just cause it has all the same features?

well actually if you go to sign up and hit the submit button look at the url. (http://www.portland.co.uk/cgi-bin/add_domain.pl)

The fact that it has the same features and that Site Status/Server Status thing that all Portland resellers seem to have.

That's a sign that this host is very unprofessional and they probably don't have the intelligence to have their own server. They are a portland reseller!

Something I thought was funny was the fact that they are a portland reseller but if you go to their "fourm" someone asked if they were using portland and it just happens to be edited out. Hmm I wonder if they are a little ashamed of that fact.

They probably want to look like "professional" host with they're own server. And once again, we have further evidence that this is a portland reseller as hosts are aren't would probably just say no instead of editing it.

We are thinking of offering free web hosting with MySQL, etc on a RaQ4 we just have sitting there..doing nothing..but it seems theres no real solid way of offering this, unless we break our backs and setup each SQL database

Recommendations?

I believe Netcabins and/or Datablocks knows how to set up databases when the account itself is set up. Owners of both often visit these forums. You could ask one of them when they come. Or email them. The websites for both are http://www.datablocks.net and http://www.netcabins.com (Netcabins is down at the moment)
