rizmah Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I currently am hosting with 000webhost (Shittest thing ever) but I want to change hosts for a much more updated one but for free. I need them to supply me with free cpanel, phpmyadmin, mysql and sub-domain. I don't want to spend a penny. Reason for upgrade: The Xenforo I was installing said it wasn't compatible because the phpMyAdmin was outdated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginerjm Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 My motto is you get what you pay for. That said - I've been useing 123ehost for about 10 years. Full-size plan is $99 a year. Lesser plans are cheaper. They support you and provide a full range of services. Excellent down time stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rizmah Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yeah - good luck with that. If 000webhost are doing it free, then there sure will be more doing it free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ch0cu3r Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Paid hosting will be much better than any free hosting package could offer. A couple of dollars a month is not exactly going to break the bank is it. Reason for upgrade: The Xenforo I was installing said it wasn't compatible because the phpMyAdmin was outdated. What has phpmyadmin got to do with it? phpMyAdmin is a php script for managing your mysql databases through a web interface. I think you maybe confused with mysql maybe? Also what I find funny is you're using a premium script but you dont want to pay for hosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want paid hosting because it's just going to be for me, no one else but I want it to be like I have premium. I want this so I can practice for college. Maybe I did get confused, idk :3 I didn't pay for it, my college course did. The Xenforo is on the college computers, I am not aloud to use them without permission (password protected).

gizmola Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hey Rizmah. Why are you doing hosting at all? If you have a decent workstation, use virtual box, run Centos inside it and you have access to the same OS as you would at most hosting systems, not to mention, full control and the ability to install any software you want in there. Add vagrant and there are loads of pre-defined vagrant boxes out there which have the full LAMP stack already setup. Makes working on code very easy as well. Work in git and you will be doing what the pros do. Here's a link to Vagrant: https://www.vagrantup.com A really nice vagrant file with a full LAMP dev environment: http://r8.github.io/vagrant-lamp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look into the following free software packages WAMP (windows) MAMP (mac) XAMPP (windows, mac and linux) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look into the following free software packages WAMP (windows) MAMP (mac) XAMPP (windows, mac and linux) They don't allow us to install XAMPP/WAMP/MAMP on college computers, they said it will "interfere with the network" or something along those lines.

plznty Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Beggers can't be choosers. Perhaps you should ask your tutor for a better free web hosting provider. I assume you're paying a small fortune for your education, if the quality of service is an issue for you then why not pay 10-20 cents per day to make your life easier.
