Randomized Signatures

[Jordi]

On my other forums i use randomized signatures. I dont know if this forum allows .php inside [img] tags, but i thought i'd share this info wiv ya.

whats a good and cheap webhost to use that allows php3/php4 scripts?

[wisewood]

wouldnt know the answer to that mate, sorry... had proper hosting for the last few years.

Although i have to say, i do not think that the idea will work on this forum... but i might be wrong.

[Jordi]

It might not work on here, tho to make it work you need to allow .php to be classed as an image. i'll test it and let you know

**TEST**

Refresh the page to see a image change randomly, this works on these forums.

Enter For example a URL to the sig file....

Marty lycos/tripod free hosting allows php scripts. Try it out

please keep sigs to below 100pixels in height thanks.

[wisewood]

Random sig is a wonderful idea - except for the fact that it slows the site down because you have to load each sig image and cant just get the one from your cache. :roll:

Would prefer it if you didnt bother.

[Jordi]

well its just an idea, might come in handy for someone on another forum or something.

Thanks, i'll give it a try :D

I use one&one hosting, but they wont allow php scripts unless i pay an extra ?80. Cant be bothered since i only want it for messing around.

[wisewood]

?80!!!!

Fcuking hell you can get about 3 years with h2hosting.com for that price - maybe more if you go for a basic package with lower bandwidth allowance. :o

Think my hosting is about ?50 per year or something like that, cant remember exactly.

[Jordi]

my hosting is about ?37/?40 a year inc domain

[?Marty?]

Bollocks, so i've been buggered then. lol

It'd cost me ?140 a year with them, if i upgraded to the 'next' package! I pay ?60 a year at the mo (it's not the lowest package tho). Not including my MANY domains. lol

Can i buy webspace without registering another domain? Dont want to pay to transfer any of them. Cost me a fair lot to transfer them all.

http://www.B-One.net seems pretty good, but everytime i've actually purchased something, they say an e-mail will be sent with payment details (how to pay) and etc and they never send me anything.

At the moment i have 500MB space, 128,000 files limit, 3,000MB per month traffic, 100 pop3 e-mail accounts (plus 400 aliases), cgi-library (crap tho, as i cant execute my own and theirs are crap) it's Hosted on I/O optimised Linux version and i got ?400 worth of software (only the FTP was any good), unlimited ftp access and continues back-ups. Their servers have not been down yet, in two yeas (to be expected tho?).

Any good? Or did i pay too much? If i have, then i might cancel and go elsewhere. Only picked them cos they seemd to have the nicest advert in an internet magazine i once picked up.
