Hello!

I have recently downloaded SMF and i wonder if i can upload them on a FreeWeb account?

dtm.exe

Freewebs?  No, at least not for their free plans.

There are two options when u make a freeweb account. Advanced when u upload an already made website in frontpgae or other program. Can i upload that way? If i'll do it in FP?

The free service of Freewebs does not support MySQL and *may* not support PHP, IIRC.

you could...upload the files....but it wouldnt work at all because

A. You dont have PHP

B. You dont have MYSQL

C. You have like, a minibyte of bandwidth...

DO NOT EVER EVER EVER GET A PAID FREEWEBS ACCOUNT! IT IS THE BIGGEST RIP OFF EVER....

I dont know the exact stats and all....but it's like $7.50 a month with NO php or mysql. That is a HUGE ripoff. They probabally are trying to get away with it to make up for giving out free accounts.

Just dump your freewebs account and get a real host....it's like, for pretend sites.

Disclaimer- (I know "minibytes" are not real)
The only thing php can't do is tell you how much milk is left in the fridge.

But I don't feel like paying for a thing when i can get it free! But If there are any better website hosting for free please tell me about it.

you cannot get a good host for free......it's like, a law of nature AND physics....

Put it this way, a very cheap host, like $3/mo. is like a million times better than a free host.

proboards is a good way to start...or GurooBoards...

But you still wont "Own" your proboards...and you wont have full controll over is.

In the words of Mr. George W. Bush, "SMF is teh win."
