Free Web Page Hosting with Php and MySQL

If you want to create a web site with the most popular forums based software, or with a dynamic store catalog, or any other utility, most of the free web page hosting services are not an option. Few of the free web page hosting services include PHP and MySQL, needed by most programs that make your web site dynamic and interesting. To get that, you usually have to resort to a paid hosting service. And while prices for hosting are lower than ever, free is definitely nicer.

There are, however, a number of free web page hosts that include both PHP and MySQL, along with other CGI scripting capabilities like PERL.

Find free web page hosting with a review site.

If you've tried looking for a free web page host through review sites, you've probably run into the same thing that I have. Many of the 'review' sites consist of a few pages of links to hosts that can add their name via a link, and the 'reviews' consist of 'Our Featured Hosts'. That's not the case at Free Webhosts (www.free-webhosts.com). There are over 100 free web hosting services listed, every single one with a review that includes services offered and member reviews.

Even better, Free Webhosts includes a great Power Search that lets you search their database for EXACTLY what you're looking for in a free web host.

Free web page hosting through your ISP.

Surprisingly, the free web space that comes with your internet service account - the one that lets you connect to the internet - is often pretty robust. Even those that don't include MySQL often include MySQL-powered features that they'll install for you. Check your ISP's terms of service to see exactly what's included in your free web space.
