My Free webhosting service.

[killerchutney]

I recently started up a free web hosting service. it offers Unlimited bandwidth and 200mb UK webspace. You can create an account here: http://www.home.killerchutney.co.uk/...command=create

Please tell me what you think. (p.s. the design is nowhere near finished yet.)

There isnt any way to create text files... (is php enabled? if it is, you should be carefull.)

That's cool, but I would recommend you being very careful about security. Perhaps some sort of application that you can approve first? Nothing major, but can't hurt to check.

[benslayton]

yes php is enabled.

That's nice for us, but also a security risk, as above.
Is localhost setup for mysql too?

[killerchutney]

Thanks for your replys, I am going to restrict filetypes, and no, mysql is hosted on a different server.

EDIT: i have decided that it will just be file hosting.

restricting file types wont do much unless you get rid of htaccess too, because you can serve any extention you want as any content type as long as you have the entry in your htaccess file...

really, so does this mean that I can make a .php file a .any file? Because I was told that this is not possbile. If it is possible please point me in the right direction or let me know how this works..

Simply do the AddType directive in your htaccess file and do something like the following:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .any

Change .any to your file extension.

Hope this helps

ok i have a .htaccess file with this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .ben

and a test.ben file with this:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

and it returns this:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

So that doesnt work...

both files are in the same directory. My server is local and i have apache2 php5 and mysql
