Best free web space provider

thor · May 14, 2003, 10:49am

Anyone know a really good web space provider? I’d like one with no ads, and I’d like to upload by FTP.[/i]

www.tripod.lycos.co.uk
It has 50mb, php, and mysql.

I too need a free webspace provider, or I can’t post my images up here(that’s my excuse, I’m sticking to it), but I need to know it won’t affect my (dad’s) computer in any way.

Check out stephen2000’s forum. His robbed cubefan of an excuse with his awesome attachment allowing forum.

I’ve sorted out some web space now, so I’ve got no more excuse

Harharhar, VK. I wanted (and still do want) to post images, but I also want to have a website. It’s just a desire I have.

PS: If you’re going to say something to attract me, at least capitalize my name.
PPS: Where’s a free domain that doesn’t need FTP? I tried with one agent or whatever they’re called, but that didn’t work.

FTP clients require something I like to call intelligence.

VK, I thought that you said that a stoned, drunk, dyslexic monkey could use it. Are you insulting me or the dyslexic, drunk, stoned monkeys out there?

The AGENT wouldn’t work. I don’t know why. I swear, I was online, but nothing would work.

anon93056638 · May 18, 2003, 1:27pm

Ok. This sounds like a problem with your computer. Put it back in the box, take it back to whatever iMac store you got it from and go sit in the corner.
“It didn’t work” is NOT an excuse. If it didn’t work nobody would use it.

The AGENT wouldn’t work

Don’t correct me. It’s a CLIENT. It connects to a SERVER. Thus the term client/server.

Linux and a good internet connection that your parent pays.

IMHO, it most probably has something to do with AOL…

I signed up with brezeland but it doesn’t work . Can anybody help me who signed up to brezeland?

shawnsonium · May 21, 2003, 4:59pm

If it’s the FTP that doesn’t seem to work, it’s probably because Breezeland’s FTP is 212.5.219.24. Most people (including me) would think that it would be ftp.breezeland.com or something easy to remember. Oh well…

Hope that helped…

EDIT: I just remembered that you can sign in to the Breezeland Control Panel by going to http://setup.breezeland.com/cp/id-login.php and typing your username and password. From there you can manage your files, email accounts and MySQL database(s), and a bunch of other cool crap.

The only downside is if you signed up for a free account and once the ad clicking system is up, you’ll have to log into your control panel and click a certain amount of ads a week to keep your account active. No ads will appear on your actual website though. I personally think it’s a really smart and effective way for Breezeland to gain money from advertisements without suffocating the users’ sites with pop-ups and banners.

[zealot]Nothing will wash the heresy of that-which-shall-not-be-named off of your hands! Onward![/zealot]

Well, I can now upload all my files onto the page, but I don’t know how to point the domain name to my web site. Also, I can’t seem to open the files I’ve uploaded onto the site. Can you help me there?

I recently got an email from Breezeland which I think explains what’s wrong.

Breezeland:

Dear Breezeland members.

As you will know by now, Breezeland was the target of a major SPAM attack which began on Sunday 18th. This attack resulted in Breezeland being cut off from the network by its provider. We managed to get this particular issue resolved after a day of negotiations with our provider.

A few days later, we were to learn that ICANN, the world registrar of domains, had received complaints about the spam coming from the Breezeland server. ICANN then began proceedings to take down our domain name from its registry. This would have meant the end of the Breezeland.com name.

We were completely powerless to prevent all these events. However, we should never have allowed unrestricted use of the php mail function. You can rest assured that when we get back online, php mail function will stay switched off until a solution is found.

It would seem that those individuals who planned the demise of Breezeland.com came very very close to achieving their aims.

We would like to send apologies to all our members for the inconvenience caused. We are truly sorry that our negligence regarding the php mail issue has caused so much damage, not only to the Breezeland name, but also to the countless sub-domains that we host.

We are continuing to negotiate with ICANN and expect a result in the coming days.

A bit of good has come out of this whole experience though. At least now our members can see how far people are willing to go to bring us down. That at least shows us, and our members, that we must be doing something right.

For as long as we have the support of our members, it does not matter who may want to destroy the Breezeland project. Breezeland will not disappear. Breezeland is here to stay and we will always offer the best free hosting and much more.

Thank you for your support.
We will be back up in a few days. Bigger and better.

Breezeland Management.

Some idiots were using the php mail function in their accounts to do some mighty evil spamming. Curse them! :x :x

bmax · May 22, 2003, 11:51pm

thats why many providers refrain from supporting any server-side code, such as php, asp, perl (especially, because of its security holes), etc.

it really sucks, but you cant do anything about it. shit happens.

thor · May 27, 2003, 10:40am

Breezeland isn’t working at all now, I can’t even load up their home page…
