It's out of principle - but not only... They are obliged to kep your number safe - but how safe do you think their site will be? Many sites store your passwords unhashed, so how do you expect them to be able to keep a phone number safe if they have no clue about security? And you can't expect...

It works, but is discouraged: (From http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-favicon)

Python is supported - there's a thread here. Django doesn't seem to be installed, since "import django" fails.

You CANNOT use remote MySQL on free hosting. It is disabled for security and resource usage reasons. Ps. there are literally dozens of similar threads, just search for remote SQL.

You can add a favicon by adding a file named favicon.ico in the root directory of your website, or by adding the correct tags in the head section of an html page. Read here for details. And example using the code in head: (This is the preferred method according to w3.) <link rel="shortcut...

Read this guide on the knowledgebase to find out how to set up your domain. .co.uk domains are the equivalent of a TLD btw for the UK: you don't get any pure .uk domains (well, there were a few for official services, but that's mostly gone), so you usually also get full control, as with any...

Don't use your co.cc domain as the smtp server address: I.e. you can send email from an address on your domain, but send it directly through whatever x10 server you are on: as your smtp server, select server.x10hosting.com (change server to your server name), and do not enter your .co.cc domain...

The problem is the EU wants to ban the website owners from setting cookies... The "browser having cookies enabled as explicit opt-in" method / loophole might not work in some countries: it is a rather similar concept to unprotected wireless networks which have SSID Broadcasting switched on...

EU actually, not Europe. What I'm wondering is whether these laws apply to people who live in the EU and run a website, or to websites hosted in the EU. I could potentially be affected, since I am an EU citizen (British) but live outwith the EU most of the time. Since X10 is US hosted (I think)...

ImagMagick IS installed, which you will discover if you run 'convert', here's the first few lines of output: You are going to have problems using it though, since php exec (and most language's equivalents) is disabled, and the native php ImageMagick interface seems disabled as well, however you...

You could if you were determined enough. You'd simply have to convert it into an image :biggrin:... (Or code a program making images from text automatically...)

I use CookieMonster anyway, so I don't care about cookies too much. They are enabled on sites I know need them, the rest are ignored. What the EU should legislate is browsers being supplied with this by default. However the legislation might bring some good. Most sites nowadays just try to push...

Actually, I have tried a few fonts, and Tahoma seems to fit best here (or maybe I'm just used to it). The only problem is the design of the 1, which runs into points and commas. 1,0 and 1.0 for example. So, I'm not sure what's best.

No, you cannot, unless you are on paid hosting (resource usage and security reasons). There are however free pure MySQL hosts on the web, so maybe try one of them if you really need some form of externally accessible MySQL.

You might want to read this: http://forums.x10hosting.com/feedback-suggestions/104792-annoying-bug.html It seems the problem is here to stay, and you have to try to configure your ftp client (in your case Dreamweaver) not to be as aggressive, i.e. use less connections.

Try use "localhost" as the database server. All rerouting to the correct MySQL server is done internally (i.e. hidden to the user), so for your purposes you just need to use localhost.

Odf files are just linked as normal links, ie. <a href="http://the.file/text.pdf">This is a link to a pdf</a> You could limit downloads by writing some form of script in php. There may also be ready built software that does this. I would recommend some searching around. You can't force...

Well, I read this which seems optimistic actually. However on wikipedia I notice the sentence "test engines themselves never managed to produce more than 40% of their theoretical thrust, which made them less powerful than contemporary conventional rocket engines." It seems various sources are in...

Sugar CRM should work: I think you might be slightly confused as to how it works: it is a php based program, i.e. is launched by somebody calling your page in a web browser, which is how most sites here work. (Databases are also available here on X10.) It doesn't need to run as a web service...

Installing most GNU/Linux distros doesn't require wiping a disk: it can happily coexist with other OS's, and unlike Windows doesn't wreck the bootloader on installing. (Actually, rather interestingly, an increasing number of computers are available with GNU/Linux distros, so that's on an up as...
