Forum rules
The Off-Topic area is a general community discussion and chat area with special rules of engagement.

Enter, read and post at your own risk. You have been warned!
While our staff will try to guide the herd into sensible directions, this board is a mostly unrestricted zone where almost anything can be discussed, including matters not directly related to the project, technology or similar adjacent topics.

We do, however, require that you:
  • Do not post anything pornographic.
  • Do not post hate speech in the traditional sense of the term.
  • Do not post content that is illegal (including links to protected software, cracks, etc.)
  • Do not post commercial advertisements, SEO links or SPAM posts.
We also ask that you keep strongly polarizing topics like politics and religion to a minimum. This forum is not the right place to discuss such things.
Please do exercise some common sense. How you act here will inevitably influence how you are treated elsewhere.

Hosting referral request.

Post by Piotr Kostrzewski » 2023-10-09, 14:21

Hello,
I would like to ask you to recommend a good hosting. Preferably free (at the beginning) without restrictions such as the website does not work properly on mobile browsers.
Thank you very much for your time.
Regards,
Piotr

I use PowWeb, a shared web host. -> http://controlpanel.powweb.com/

I've had and 'managed' a few accounts there over the past couple decades. PowWeb used to be it's own company, run by a guy and his roommate from an apartment in Texas. It has since been bought, twice. An account there is fairly cheap, I guess, I don't pay them anymore because I was a moderator on their now non-existent forum and they gave me a free account. I do know they don't offer any free plans there, but they offer a big discount on the first year, and each after that is in the $10 - $15 per month range.

They provide several PHP versions, MySQL databases and email servers.

Good luck with your search.
Thank you very much.

Today I sent a website to the server, but it has a problem on mobile browsers.
One possibility is a problem with the server.
The one you sent seems interesting.

They offer a bunch of install packages, blogs and stuff, and there is some or a few 'website builder' tools or packages available too. I'm not familiar with any of that stuff though, WYSWIG is like a bad word to me.. :coffee: I guess I'm stuck, willingly, in the Text editor/FTP rut..

They have their own flavor of a 'control panel', and I think there's a demo link around there somewhere..

I also prefer code editors like Notepad++.

It was originally from Adobe.
It is currently being "developed" by the community.
Although they are developing the browser version more.

Ya I started to look at it yesterday, then suddenly I had to do something else. So maybe later.. My interest was piqued enough.

I'm glad you're interested.
I gave up on it because I think it's a bit too slow.
Maybe it's just me.
But Live Preview is a plus.
However, only for Chrome if nothing has changed.
