Wordpress question

[Pommy - The DN Doc]

For wordpress you need access to a database - right? (wordpress.com does not give access to plugins etc so not counting that). Are there any hosting sites that let you put up a wordpress site for free?

Its just that I have a few domain names I'd like to develop....

Your best bet is just a general free PHP/MySQL host. WordPress.com and other sites running WordPress mu (multi-user) don't let you do that sort of thing. You could try HostGator's 1 cent "trial" month too, which is about as close to free as you can get. There are some coupons for this floating around the net.

i'd go for a free php/mysql hoster than wordpress.com .

Do either of you know a free one you'd recommend. Ideally one I can use with lots of domain names...

http://www.xm.com/ or if you don't mind posting: http://www.frihost.com/

other than those, one domain each: http://www.110mb.com/ or http://www.my5gb.com/

Don't bother with free hosting - you get what you pay for... not much. Splurge a few dollars - you can get shared hosting for as little as $5 a month. While shared hosting can be sketchy depending on the company you deal with it's still a far sight better than any free host for what you need.

Dreamhost and Hostgator for example have one-click installs of wordpress. It couldn't be much easier than that.

Thanks

FriHost looks good as it supports SQL/php. Only need to post 5 posts.

Better get cracking then!

Will also look into paid hosting - dont mind paying $5 p m if I can host loads of domains in one account.

Frihost is the only decent " free host " you can find around these days. Even its not really free. you have to post in their forum in return. still it worths.

There are plenty of cheap great hosts. I recommend asmallorange.com as their prices are very good and their support is fast.
