I have been doing web design for various people I know for awhile and I like it. But I have a couple problems. Many of the Free places that people want them up do not allow PHP Perl and other codes. This presents a problem because then I am not able to add many of the scripts that would make updating and maintaing the page easier. Does anyone know of a place that allows you to have PHP Perl and other scripts? on your site that you don't have to pay for. Or if not. Do you know a place where it is super cheap and if so. Would you buy it for me :trout:

No. There, I just replied your last question. ;)

I think you could check Tripod or Brinkster for PHP, ASP and such... I'm not 100% sure though.

i looked on brinkster and didnt see anything about PHP, but they probably have it with some of the more expensive plans.

Also, how much space would a simple contact form take up and what language would you have to build it in?
