Free webhosting? [1st Post :)]

[pro-serv]

Hello everybody, my first post, im quite new to php, so you will have to be gentle with me 🆒

I have a couple of servers with quite a bit of space on, and was wondering if / how it is possible to create a folder in your http space and then create a subdomain on that, and maybe an ftp account.

Any ideas would be 100% completely great 😃

Cheers

Rob

depends on the host really. most will give you some sort of web interface you log into and add directories / files that way. other may give you an ftp account.

Rob,

Don't know what you mean by "I have a few servers". Do you mean they are located in your house/office under your full control? Or in a hosting company?

You also don't say what HTTP server you are using. Apache? Microsoft IIS?

IF UNDER YOUR FULL CONTROL

Apache

/htdocs is the root. All you have to do is create a subdirectory under it (say, mysite.com)

Microsoft IIS

/Inetpub/wwwroot is the root. You should use the IIS administration control panel to create a new virtual site.

IF NOT UNDER YOUR FULL CONTROL

This will depend on the hosting company and what control panel software they use, as Thorpe mentioned.

Most will allow you to specify a website name, and automatically create the folders. You can (and should) use a FTP client like cuteFTP or AceFTP to upload your files.

P.S.
If you plan on using PhpBuilder.com to get your questions answered, you will need to provide enough information so that we can put the clues together to solve your problem. It will save all of us lots of time and get your questioned answered faster. 🙂

Sorry bout that didnt really explain myself to well. I am a webhost at the moment, I have many websites on my own servers in a datacentre. But I was wondering if there was a php script out there that would automatically add a person to an ftp config and then create a folder for them

I think i have sorted it now, someone i no had made one ages ago.

Thanks alot

Rob
