Is This hosting a good package?

[johneva]

Its alright bandwidth and web size wise considering it is free but it does not say wether you get PHP support or any SQL databases.

Well it might but I carnt find it anyways.

We have disabled all server side scripting including ASP, PHP, CGI (PERL), secure areas, and Databases while we assess the risks to our systems. We may at some later point in time enable some or all types of scripting. Keep your eyes on the FAQ page at http://www.web1000.com/faq.html for updates.

Thats no good then.

I would not use a host with no server side scripting.

[Ash]

Well for someone who don't know PHP etc they are like me for istance. They also give you loads of links to chose from.

Like one of them i saw was http://www.yourdomain.reallysucksass.com

Just cos you dont know PHP dont mean you wont need support for it or at least any other server side scripting.

There are pleanty of pre made scripts you can use for pretty much anything things like Forums,chatrooms,directorys,forms,CMS,shopping carts and loads more.

As I say I would not go with a host withough PHP support and no mySQL datrabases, I would say absolute minimum find one with some server side scripting even if it is just CGI.

Not 100% sure what you mean by they give you loads of links to choose from so I cannot comment on that.

Would javascript work?

This is what I mean loads of links/sub domains here

[johneva]

Yes you will still be able to use Javascript, as Javascript is client side programming.

Javascript is executed on the person who is veiwing the sites computer.

This link explains the diffrence between client and sever side scripting far better than I can.
