Well it's been while since I gave a update post on the forum so here it is.

First off, me and the other staff members are looking into getting a webpage up to act as our homepage where we can give quick info on the forum, better links on our partner affiliates and such. This is still work in progress and if you know any good cms websites to use let us know.

The next thing is there will be a huge skin revamp soon. Many skins will be taken down and replaced with new ones. The GF custom skin 2 will be replaced by a better looking custom skin which is being made by stosh. Any skin not taken down by the revamp will get a new banner put on it. This will take a few weeks to do so don't expect a lot at first. I am looking for some good GFX sites, so if you know any PM me the links.

I noticed that a lot more members are coming on each day but activity seems to be low, I can only guess this is due to the fact there is nothing really fun to post to. I got a few ideas to use to fix this but I don't know if they will work or not. If you guys know anything that another forum uses that is a big hit with members let me know so I can look into it.

In a week or two GF will begin to put up forums for E3 2009, In these forums we will bring you any videos, images, news, video feed links, and anything else that is said during E3. So stay tune to Gamingforce as we give you everything you need on E3.

Between june 6-13 I the DS will be gone during that week as I will be in New York City on a trip to celebrate me graduating high school! So during this week I won't be able to post news and the staff will have to run the forum without me. hopefully things won't fall into chaos.

I am currently looking for new staff for possibly Gmods and I am looking for GFX staff. If you know anybody good (who is not a member here yet) point him towards GF and I may make that person a staff here.

Well I think that is it for this post. I'll post more when I have something to post.

I think all you need is a hosting package with php, and mySQL database support. I recommend Linux hosting plans.

QUOTE (NBK*Twitch @ May 25, 2009 06:34 pm) Very nice..

If you need a free hosts with php and mysql I suggest 000webhost.

I have used them and they are very easy to use.

If you want a free domain with dns to go with it,get a .co.cc domain.

Anyways I wish you the best of luck =].
thats for the name, I'll look into it.

I've used that free web host service before, their uptime hasn't been as persistent. If you upgrade to a paid service, you may get not just better uptime, but possibly more bandwidth and space.

thats a good thing to know. When I figure out how paypal works I may but a good hosting.
 
Another thing worth learning is Google Adsense, Amazon Affiliates which can help pay for hosting, but you need to read the "terms of service" very carefully and follow them or you get banned for click fraud (clicking your own ads, etc).
 
A lot of my colleagues use HostMonster, BlueHost or WebHostingPad. I highly recommend using them if you want a dot com domain. co.cc may be free but is limited. Same with GoDaddy, its cheap, but you also get cheap hosting. I recommend using the ones I listed. Just about all three of them have unlimited disk space, unlimited band width, and lots of other software, such as Joomla, phpbb, SMF. They also provide PHP/MySQL.

Well that isn't their fault either... my friend currently uses them with a phpbb3 forum.

It seems that alot of their servers get ddos attacks.

However when I tried them for about a month I had no problems,until I used their gui tools...

I rather stick to using my own stuff instead of theirs...

When I used their gui tools I got weird errors and then my website stopped working..

However they are a great free host and i have not found anyone better.

I mean really who else gives you mysql and php access for free??
