Topic moved from PHP - Code.
http://www.google.com/search?q=free+php+hosting turned up some good results when I just checked it.
Also, why is the usage of mail() essential?

I can name nine web-based PHP games that require sending mail to users for the signup process, or default to doing so. All of which are not spam, all of which would lend themselves well to free hosting - games dont generate much in the way of adviews.
I can also name numerous blog software packages that require sending mail to users for the signup AND verification process. Ditto for forum software. This very forum is driven using software that does that.
mail() is needed in a huge number of packages.
Four responses implying ill-will from a legitimate request is rather disappointing.
You can all do better, and should have.

I don't think any of us were implying that that's what the mail() function *would* be used for. But that's certainly why *free* hosts disable it's use. It's as simple as that. Clearly there are far more people out there in need of a host that provides access to this function but you can imagine just how little time it would take before someone starts abusing itRoja wrote:I'm honestly disappointed.Pimptastic wrote:Grim... wrote:What obvious reasons?

Apologies for any offense caused, it wasn't a statement about it's use here, just the reasoning behind free hosts disabling it.

The question of why free hosts wouldnt enable it didn't come until after that exchange. I do admit, I put the other responses with that question.jshpro2 wrote:spammm
