hi guys
i need a free host to setup up phpbb board for my site
it must have php and mysql support and must be free
can u ppl help me
thanks
expecting reply
bye guys
good luck finding one. free hosts that have PHP/mySQL are either slow, or they load tons of banner ads, or they disappear within 2-10 weeks if they don't have ads.
netcabins...is on hold for now, i'd say go for F2S for now but you only get a 5 MB database. *cough* get a very cheap pay host.
here's a list:
http://www.4nx2.com
http://www.barrysworld.com (get a freesql.org account)
http://www.f2s.com (5 MB database, no external connections [maybe, some people disagree with me, depends on which server you're on])
http://www.badpenguin.net (they're new)

Best guess would be f2s, if you need any help, I'm the phpBB dude over here.

His forum is allready set up at f2s. Anyway, freesql.org is slow somtimes, and in buzzy periods, you can't connect.

Apparently badpenguin is run on a cable. Pretty quick, though.

F2s....God damn...It will not allow me to connect to my DB..it's a pain in the arse..
I've tried using the phpmyadmin install on their server..will not allow me..
i've tired installing phpmyadmin myself...and it still doesn't work..
it's bs..

i am the admin at badpenguin.net, we are kinda new, and i do run it off my cable but i don't plan on going anywhere soon. there are no banners and i just added the page to create a mysql database. plus since i am not a big company i can take request and help people out.

php support, fast and you can easily connect to an external db provider like freesql.org
