I can access the PHP file itself, but when requesting anything with "GET variables?", it gives the following error:

this might be happening because x10hosting's free-hosting servers - use [ mod_security ] to help protect users websites - it will automatically block any "suspicious" requests, to help prevent common attacks and spam bots.

mod_security settings will throw a 404 error if it sees a "leaky" response and a 403 error if it sees a "shady" request

you'll get either a 403, a 404 or an empty response instead, depending on the apparent severity

I have changed the folder's permissions to 755 and 644

make sure all file permissions are 0644 (rw-r--r--) and all folder permissions are 0755 (rwxr-xr-x)

IF 'permissions' set on any folder or file - in your account - are [ 777 ] - that makes a large security risk - so a x10hosting's free-hosting server will throw an immediate "Access Denied" (403 error code) error to protect itself

You're getting the 403 because it detected the HTTP protocol in the URL that's within the GET query.

The question is: why are there a whole bunch of text files under your account that look like to do with maps? And why is there no index? You don't have a /gmod directory (Garry's Mod) either.

Whatever else you may be using the account for (APIs, etc.), there is a requirement that it be used to host a "functional website".
