    Resolved [RESOLVED] Web hosting

    Hi Guys,

    Does anyone have any recommendations for low cost (or ideally free) web hosting? I'm looking for some space to trial some ideas on while I'm learning.

    Many thanks,

    Ben

    Is it simply for HTML and CSS, or are you going to be doing some server side scripting? If so, what language(s) are you going to use?

    At the moment it will be HTML/CSS and Javascript, I'd like to get into PHP at a later date.

    Roll your own server... doesn't get much cheaper than free:

    HTML, CSS and Javascript are all handled client-side, by your browser... so if you're just practicing with those, there's really no need for hosting or a local server; just open your files in a browser.

    For PHP, use WAMP server to run it locally, which is an easy step. Or setup the local server by installing each components(PHP, MySQL, etc..) one by one by following the tutorial posted by penagate in here.

    Thanks for the feedback guys, I guess you're right, there is no real need to upload sites at the moment. I'll trial my ideas first before unleashing them on the world.
