I need a good PHP database for my site, so i can have the basic news, forums ect. but i cant use MY SQL databases. can someone help me?

Vyse:)

Use flat file databases. Slightly slower but it works :D

Why can't you use MySQL?
You can use flatfile but they are very resource intensive.

well, my SQL costs a extra £3 a month. the deal ive found is on www.getdotted.com im looking for a cheep .co.uk an that seems good, but i dont no alot about this stuff. a .co.uk from getdotted is about £18, if you can find a site that does MY SQL for around the same price, then ill forget about getdotted :P

www.easily.co.uk

cheers matie, ill take a look at it now :)

Easily have great UK services. Simply.co.uk too!

Hmm, i dont think easyly will be good for me, as i want FTP acsess an i dont think it suports MY SQL :(

There are many hosts out there that supports Mysql and offers FTP Access, for example HostGator offers MysQL and FTP as well as Datah.com and many many many other hosts here at WHT :D

Are you looking for UK Based hosts only ?

I can recommend you many domain registrars that are very cheap and good Such as Godaddy.com and NameCheap.com :D

ok, thanks. as for the hosting, ive been looking at your basic package on www.CirtexHosting.com, but can i pay with a Natwest Solo card, and how much will it cost in £ per year?

Hi, i cant tell you that here, its against the rules
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/misc.php?s=&action=forum-rules

PMs don't break the rules... :P

I'm in UK too. Use www.xe.com/ucc to convert USD to UKP and loads of others too :D

Also you may want to open a PayPal account. I have a Natwest solo card and it won't work on many processors (and those it does they have to phone up and go through ages verifying it) so I opened a PayPal account and wherever possible use that to pay via my Natwest solo card since it has no problem accepting it. Check out www.paypal.com . You may also want to check out www.nochex.com , it's very much nicer than PayPal but not widely accepted so doesn't help me much yet :P
