I wish to know if there are any free sites which offer free PHP and My SQL support .If you have any links relating to any free PHP and My SQL plans please reply here.
I would like to use it for hosting a forum I am thinking to use phpbb2 for forum it needs support for PHP and My SQL, I would also like to know about what amount would I need for a PHPBB forum. Thank you |

I use astahost for hosting my phpbb2 forum. astahost is free as long as you can post on the forum, it supports php and mysql. And if you log to your cpanel, you will see that it's really fast and easy to install and configure your phpbb2 forum.

MySQL, not My SQL.
As said before, astahost provides PHP, MySQL and Postregre SQL (I think it is spelt like that) it also supports ASP and a whole list of others. PHPBB2 takes about 20Mb or so (when fully installed and mods are added) of MySQL database size. Remember, that not only do you have a limit on the number of databases, but there is also a size limit. http://free-webhosts.com is a good place to find alternative hosting, but I would recommend astahost (here). Not only is it premium classed hosting (for free) but they also provide Fantastico, which allows you to install loads of different elements into your site, including PHPBB (as said before) and also things like Wiki and Bloging software. It is free and takes under a minute to set up anything. |

Thank you If you just need an forum, I recommend forummer.com and invisionfree.com . They don't limit the BW but there's some ad on the page. If you're interested with this community, why don't you stay here and get a host. This hosting service is pretty professional (the best one that I've ever know). There're always other free hosts that support PHP&MySQL with no-ad. But there's many limitations (space, bandwidth, filesize...). Most of them require posting to make the site remain. |

AstaHost is pretty good, and has PHP and MySQL.
Also, I don't recommend phpBB, as the phpBB site was hacked at least once not long ago because of holes in the software. >_< Personally, I recommend MyTopix from Jaia Interactive. It's fast, easy-to-use, has lotsa good features, and is free. |

You can check aboho.com . It also suport cPanel, FTP, MySQL, PHP... just as here. But it's very difficult to get an account there. I think that's a community than a free hosting provider.

SMF, although I don't like it, is a very good forum. When PHPBB3 is released, then I will probably use that. But until then, I still have a copy of vBulletin.

If you could live with a german interface I would recommend http://www.funpic.de/ . They offer 100 MB webspace with PHP and MySQL. Traffic is inclusive and there are no forced ads! Like astahost they have a forum, but you don't have to post there, only for extras like own 404's and more FTP/MySQL accounts.

I definetly endorse Astahost and I love the Simple Machines Forum easy to work with and fun to play with. Also here on Astahost you not only get Great Technical Support but a very cool community with members who are always willing to help you learn and work through problems that can arise with your website.
