Hi. I'm currently going through a crisis where my host has been taken into Receivership because they were defrauding me and other customers. This now means i have nowhere to host my site. As i offer a free service i can't afford to pay much for hosting (i've got a host being set up as i type this, but it will be about a week before it is ready). What i am wanting to ask is that maybe one of you kind people with a server out there would allow me to make home with my sites there for a week or two. It would be very much appreciated. I have lost lots of my work when the court commandered the server, which has really made me a bit mad. So now i'm a desperate attempt to try and find a cheap host or someone's server to be hosted on.

Thanks for any help you can offer

P.S. I have moved this from the 'Perl and CGI' Board because it was not really appropriate.... Andy

Liquidweb $25/month for 500mb storage, 30gb transfer; supports multiple mysql databases per account. Does not support e-mail programs like Gossamer-Mail, but I run LinksSql with no problem...

How long have you been with them. I seen their site the other day and it looked to good to be true. Is your site ever down? Looks like they have alot of features for little cost. I'm using Hostway right now and have never had any problems but they are somewhat limited when it comes to MySQL, PHP, etc.

Thanks,
Paul

I have been with them for just over two years, when they first started up. Their down time would probably be about a total of 1 hour every other month. They have a very good support staff, willing to assist with any problem with the account or server. You will generally have to pay for any additional installations outside the basic apache install and related programs, i.e. if you wanted to add Tomcat or Hypersonic or something. I currently have 6 mysql db's set up, along with about 6 main cgi scripts, including LinksSql. My links sql is running about 12,000 links with about 800 categories, no problem. I would highly recommend them for a medium size site, looking to get started.

PS. This is not meant to be an advertisement, I just believe they are good, and am replying in kind!

I am now with the hosting company (liquidweb.com), but i am having problems installing Links 2. Everything works except the admin.cgi page (even nph-build.cgi, nph-email.cgi and nph-verify.cgi). Did you have any problems like this with them?

Andy

Note: I know your using Links SQL, but i was just wondering if you knew what was going on!!!
