I'm looking for hosting with php mail() functions active for sub domains. It seems that most have it disabled because of spammers which i can understand but........

thanks again

maybe i've got one, but i have no idea if it supports it, and i don't know what the website of the hosting company is lol
a friend of mine owns it, but he isn't online right now.....
i got a package, so if you could post a simple script here, i can test it for you lol
you can also PM me on here

Im not very happy man not happy at all, sick of these stupid hosts man all you get is loads and loads of hassel. Its like you pay ure money and they screw u up man you find out you dont have as much space as you were promised it doesnt Accept PHP scripting, so you have to stick with HTML of JAVA. Also its allmost inpossible to upload anything at all as it dont accept most things, then you fins out that ure domain name is somit crap like ( www.lol_we_screwed_this_bloke.com/YOURNAME) ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG it annoys me so much why cant sum people be honest at least trap 17 Lives up to its promise FEW had to get that of my chest

For me it has always been a long search for good hosting, and just when i found one......they died
and i think it happens to all free hosts (including trap17)..

i've had 1 reliable host, it was always up, they did give me what i wanted, and it all worked, but they died (it was crazyghost.com) so i hope trap17 will host me.

and i don't like the A_VERY_LONG_NAME.COM/MY_DOMAIN because it's just damn hard to type, so 2 advices:

1) take a domain, for example: www.whateveryouwant.com (.net, .org, .info....)
2) take a subdomain, yoursub.website.com

the first one is better, and not that expensive..

I think you are looking for a free web hosting. The web hosting you are looking for should support PHP and sendmail, thus your mail() function can work.

I seeks this too. I only find the Lycos.co.uk suuports this. Besides Lycos also provides a mysql usage for each account. I have tested the mail() function in somes PHP scripts, it works.

Is Lycos good? I don't think so. Maybe I am stupid, I never success to login its FTP server, although Lycos claims that it support FTP server and it gives me the account id and password. All I can do is to use the webftp to upload my scripts by handmade. If you can image that, you will know it's terrible nightmare if you are building a website with a lot of files. No matter you upload files or backup them. Moreover, the advertise sucks. Their advertises holds you action on the browser until they vanish. The advertises also overlap some portion of your page.

Anyway, if your request is not too high, I think that it can satisfy you. At least that's the only one which supports PHP, MySql, mail() I've found. The most importance is that it is not in the safe mode, thus you can create directories or files in PHP scripts. You cannot except when or whether you will use it.

Therefore I think a good free web hosting site should be php supported, mysql supported, sandmail supported, and not in safe mode. If you find another, please tell me!
