How's this better than just finding a free PHP host in a free subdomain? (honest question)

  Hey Lhorie, do you have an example ?

    Lots of PHP hosting providers have free account options. Here's a random one I just googled up: http://www.000space.com/ http://www.000space.com/

      Ok, here is the major difference I think: You'd be sharing the same kind of box as with this hosting provider, but instead of sharing it with several thousand others you'd be sharing it with maybe 5 to 10 others. You wouldn't be limited to PHP. You'd have a lot more storage space and bandwidth.

        I see. I don't suppose the free CPU cycles would be too critical for someone doing a prototype, but the language freedom is definitely compelling. With that being said, I think the getting a sys admin part might be tough. FWIW, I hear that many private mmorpg servers die because they overlook the amount of time and money needed to keep a server running.

          > I think the getting a sys admin part might be tough. Someone has already volunteered for that post. I'm a bit upset at all the negativity though.

            Well, if you have a volunteer sys admin, you're all set then :)
