    What would you say is the best genre of book?

    I've got to say, fantasy is great. I like it because it's not reality -- you can make up your names, you can make up your concepts, and it's generally very well written. Of course, then again, there are the things that are really badly written. But overall, I like fantasy for the freedom it...

    Can I use CGI scripts with x10Hosting Free?

    Thank you for the quick response. I am wondering because I'm coding a piece of software with a friend, and the software is probably going to be in Python... I'd rather not move to a different host to get it working, but looks like that's what I'll need to do. :(

    Can I use CGI scripts with x10Hosting Free?

    The title pretty much explains it. I'd like to know if it's possible to use server-side tech besides PHP here - perhaps C/C++ (think those can be executed on a server via CGI) or Python or Perl or, well, any CGI? I think I heard somewhere that it was disabled on the free servers due to...

    Hello World

    I would recommend using Simple Machines as your forum software. It'll take almost no work to set up. Link: http://www.simplemachines.org/ There are even things to help you bridge WP or other software with it. You only get two databases, so I'd recommend just using prefixes (assuming anything you...

    What happened to protecting directories?

    I was able to password protect directories from my control panel in the past. But for some reason, at the moment, it's not showing up under where it usually was ('security'). I'd like to be able to still do this, if only for simplicity reasons (not having to code in a login system or use a...

    Question about the ToS

    Sorry for the (somewhat) necrobump, but would I be allowed to let users have semi-code on my site? What I mean is much more of a game-oriented programming language, interpreted with something I built. It wouldn't be real JS or anything that I think would qualify as 'giving hosting services to...

    Can we use PDO here?

    I looked at phpMyAdmin on my hosting account and it said that the PHP extension for the database was MySQLi... but I've seen people post about using PDO here. I'm confused - can I use PDO with my PHP scripts on x10, or do I have to use MySQLi?

    SSL error & website is not at domain

    Thank you for suggesting that, my website appears to be loading perfectly now. Is there an option for users to close their own threads? That would be useful in cases like this. I doubt that any more useful comments will be posted past this one, as the problem is resolved and the free hosting...

    SSL error & website is not at domain

    Hello, As some of you may know, I had started a topic about 1) my website having the text "It won't be long..." instead of *any content of mine* and 2) me getting an SSL error when I go to the control panel. Well, both of those are still happening. I thought the migrations were over... Sorry if...

    SSL error on free hosting?

    Hey, I was signing into my hosting account to work on a project of mine. Two things happened, one of which I will mention later in this post. But the most important one is this: This hasn't happened before, and I think this could be a pretty major concern for you guys. I'm not sure...

    I can't login into my account, please help.

    I'm having the same problem, and as well as that, I can't connect to my site. I think they started the migration, as Bdistler said.

    Hi :)

    Hello there, Techar! Welcome to x10. I'm relatively new, though I think I've been here for a little while. Good luck with whatever website you're making (or already have made). ;)

    Question about the ToS

    Ah. Thank you for answering. I'll keep that in mind. I figured as such; letting users host small pieces of code on a site via an on-site text pretty much seems like giving them the ability to host files on your site.

    It's been pretty good so far...

    Sorry if I seem dumb here, but what does the phrase 'help vampire consulting' mean? I didn't get your post very well except for the part about return types. I'm pretty much a novice programmer so I don't know about a lot of these things. Right now I'm not sure if the things you said mean what I...

    Question about the ToS

    Does the quote mean that it wouldn't be possible for me to make something similar to Codecademy with x10? I was thinking of doing that but I'm not sure if I'd be allowed to let people make their own pieces of code to share with the community of my site, if I were to do it. I'm pretty sure that...

    It's been pretty good so far...

    Table prefixing is something I've seen before but never really used. I already install all my pre-coded software manually. You're right on the domain thing - never really thought of that... It could get troublesome for the servers with enough people hosting tons of websites on one account. It's...

    It's been pretty good so far...

    Two things I don't like about it, though: - you get so few addon domains/subdomains - you only get two MySQL databases However, you have a lot of people using your hosting service, and so I can see why you wouldn't want to just hand out tons of free databases. Domains, however, are too limited...

    Is the credits system still in use?

    I was reading about it on the wiki and it seems that it's been undergoing maintenance since June 2010. It would be nice to have that section updated if it's not available anymore.

    Hello, I'm dink

    Welcome, Dink! It's nice to see there's another newbie around. :) Hope we both have a nice time here.

    This whole forum seems...

    well, completely inactive. I think that someone should advertise the site a bit more.
