    webhost

    hey I need a free webhost with like 10mb, and 100mb -1gb of bandwidth, most importantly I need php and mysql Im learning mysql so I need a place to test it on other than setting up my own server. Can any one give me some room or something?

    Have you considered setting up Apache, PHP and MySQL on your local system?

    No, it'd be very fast actually I've run it on my PC before, and it was very cool.

    Fast? Didn't think that

    Do you run it off your ISP account?

    Its all local so typically once Apache is configured and up and running you just type in http://localhost/ in your browser - which relates to DocumentRoot "D:/Some-Folder" or whatever drive / folder you specify in Windows

    Yea, but if you want it open to everyone? Like a normal website?

    Mike, if you give people your IP (and your firewall is open, or non-existant), then yes people can browse your 'web server'.

    If you have a static IP, even better. But most ISPs don't allow their users to run a server through their accounts, anyway...

    What sort of ISP account would you need for that? One of those T1's?

    Any web hosting account would work. I've done it with both cable and DSL, and dial-up is possible if you don't mind the insanely-slow speeds Something at least as fast as a T1 is preferrable if you have more than a few people visiting your site simultaneously.

    Some ISPs will block port 80. You can still have your site publically accessible by using a different port, such as 8080 or 8000. If you have a firewall, it also needs to be configured to forward those ports to your PC (or use DMZ).
