Looking for good web hosting

A free one, with php5 and the latest mysql, i am trying to learn php and i can't learn the up to date info because the host of my sight is currently running php4.

I believe www.o-wh.com has that. They are Very Good. 5 bucks a month, no ads or pop-ups lots of space and bandwith

There is no such thing as FREE, or the word web sight.

Check out Dreamhost at http://www.dreamhost.com/. I've used them for over a year and they're pretty good. You can also get a significant discount if you're referred. Many MacRumors members, including myself, would be happy to refer you.

Also check out A Small Orange at http://www.asmallorange.com/. They're well liked here.

As a third option, if you're reasonably technically apt and you want to save money, I can resell part of my Dreamhost space to you.

http://members.lycos.co.uk is a free webhosting that i am currently they just arn't up to date oh and sorry i didn't know this was english "websight", is that better

the problem with all these choices is that they arn't free. i mean i have no money al all. no credit cards, no cash. im young, 20, and i have 2 kids so money is no wear to be found in my house.

i know it is hard to find a free webhosting trust me if i could just search and find one on google then i wouldn't have asked here.

"Web Site" may be what you're looking for.

How much space and badwidth do you need? Do you already have or need a domain (such as www.novark.com)?

i wouldn't need much space or bandwidth. all i would want to do on it is to write and test PHP scripts while im learning PHP, the only things i would "need" is support for PHP5 and the latest mysql on the webserver. i wouldn't need my own domain, a subdomain would be just fine

I do too, but I'm pretty pissed that they are down right now. I am working on my site and all of a sudden I can't connect. I checked a few other dreamhost hosted sites and they are down as well.

Really? My site is up and running, blog and everything. Must be a specific server problem.

Agreed. Of those I have tried, Surpass is still the best.
