Does anyone know?

DOES anyone know of a good host to make a php website? I've been searching, and searching, and finding only bull(you know what ;)) sites. They all have FTP, but they are so hard to use, that it is pointless.

THank YOu

Hmmmm....Does anybody know a good web-host that lets you script in PHP?

Wha'?
Me, I use dotservant.com. It's not amazing, but it serves. You get PHP, CGI and (depending on the package) MySQL. If you don't like FTP, there's an HTTP file-editing interface.

FTP isn't hard to use.
Open a shell
cd to the directory with your files
> ftp <host>
ftp> username ENTER
ftp> password ENTER
ftp> put <file> ENTER
ftp> quit ENTER

If you have an ftp account already, you can use http://www.net2ftp.com.

Its a web-based ftp client, that has a built in editing tool, so you can edit php, html etc files and simply just click on save.
