Best free host with PHP & mySQL

[nwBen]

What's the best host for runiing PHP & mySQL? I wish to run Invision Power Board on it, that and only that.. but don't forget, it has to be free (I'm to cheap :p ).

I've got the cheepest for me... :) I use my own server (I took an old 166mhz P1 and am using it for a server)... it's really rather easy.... you could even do it from you own home computer (provided you've got a broadband connection -- it reduces headaches) if your running just about any version of Windows it's got the IIS server built in.... it's just a matter of turning it on... or if your running some variant of *NIX or (as in my case) BSD (btw I'm not really bias either way I run both BSD and Win -- each has they're own pro's and con's...) and PHP and SQL arn't hard to install on either os... so like I said it's just a matter of what you want to use...

my 2 cents

Even if you were in US or Canada, I doubt you can use 1and1 for hosting a big forum (i.e., with many registered members).

I recommend 1and1 also, but like trigger said you shouldn't use it for large sites/forums because of the low bandwidth they allow you to use. Here is a quote of the ToS that was on Trigger's forum.

  Quote

You agree to design your websites in such a manner as to avoid overloading of the 1&1 Servers, by limiting the use of CGI-Scripts that require overly high processor capacity, and to use good judgment to provide a website that is designed in a technically competent manner. 1&1 has the right, should your website be the cause of interruptions in 1&1's ability to provide its services to other customers, to temporarily disable access to your website. In case 1&1 takes such a step, you will be informed thereof as soon as is practicable and 1&1 may work with you to remove the condition that led to the suspension.
