My requirements are:

PHP
MySQL
Domain Hosting

Other than that, I just want a reasonable amount of space for pages and MySQL. F2S doesn't work because they won't host my domain. CoolFreePages is unresponsive to MX record change requests. I don't know where to go. Portland is the only option I've heard of that can do what I want, but I also hear many complaints about it.

Thanks.

Well, I've never seen a good free domain host that offers PHP, MySQL AND the MX records thingee, but I would suggest setting up your domain to point to your website using www.mydomain.com , which will let you change your MX records as well, and host with F2S or whatever.

Just my two cents.

Or you could try www.portland.co.uk which offers 15MB, PHP, CGI, MySQL, the ability to change MX-Records, AND lots of frustration.

Hope that helps.

Portlands servers are 128k Sinclair Spectrums on a 0.002k modem.

hobbiton doesn't host domains for free... and, they are running off a single DSL line.

if you're gonna pay, go with a good host... I have 2 sites on atomhost.com pretty good services, and support
