A Free Server

[Shivam]

Hi people can you please tell me a good Free server Nothing complicated as I am rubbish with most things  A server is where you make the forum yeah?

Like smfforfree.com Its rubbish because you cant upload any extra packages.

Please  give me a good one I thank thee

build your own server with debian linux so all you want you can do it
make it dual homed and point your domain to it

that's the only thing if ya want it for really free

What are your home computer specs?  How about your internet connection?  I've played with the VMWare Player quite a bit and have really been pleased with it.  For just starting out, I'd suggest the Player and Grandma's LAMP.  They're both free, and if you have a decent broadband connection you can do some hosting from home.  Best of all, everything will be under your control.

No you dont need a whole server to build a website unless your website has a huge amount of active users.

You just need to get a normal shared hosting account which will allow you to have a DB.

I dont know of any but you will have to search around SMF to locate any free hosts being advertized in their hosting section.
