A good free server: Oxymoron?

Nobody is reliable or good or free altogether except yourself.

Lol... When I leave home I'm gonna buy a simple computer and use it as a web server... 10GB space, unlimited bandwidth, PHP, MYSQL, Perl, CGI, the works...

RST: Why do you need "basic features such as tracking stats"? Search "Extreme Tracking" on google. Then search "free scripts".

heh... free is good. But there's no reason to buy your own comp for a server if you don't need to. Which was the point of this thread.

RST: Go to long4net.com, find something called "Hosting plans" or something similar, and check out "Plan B." I recommend it. Also, their support staff is good. In the helpdesk you can expect an answer within about a day.
Of course, you'll need to buy a domain for $8.95 USD from godaddy.com (that's for a year). Unless you want to access your website from an extremely long, hard-to-remember (it has an IP address in the URL) address. So get a domain.
BTW If you're wondering about reliability, godaddy has been around for ages, and a friend of mine hosts 3 domains at long4net.

or you could use come.to or some other redirection service instead of a domain name

I did that at first with QBNZ... the origional URL was qbnz.2ya.com, I got it from shorturl.com. Though a domain doesn't cost much if you are really serious.
