[PHP] PHP / MySQL Hosting Charges
Hi All, Just a quick non-technical question. I live in Australia and a friend of mine has a website hosted here in Oz, and he pays his set amount per month which simply is for Hosting, cgi-bin and log file access for his website. Hes wanting to have the ability to use PHP and MySQL on his site and his provider has quoted him the cost to add to his current monthly charges to give him a MySQL username/password/database and PHP ability. Both he and I feel its a bit pricey for what they want to charge so I figured I would ask the list to see what other people consider a reasonable price to add PHP and MySQL access to his current www/cgi-bin/logs website. I wont mention the prices hes been quoted yet because I want to see some uninfluenced posts. Cheers in advance.

Personally, I've always dealt with ISPs that offer PHP and MySQL as part of the basic monthly web hosting cost, which I generally expect to run between $20-$50 per month, depending on amount of space provided, backbone of the provider, and other variables. Can PHP be offered as an add-on, I thought it was either or not, but anyway... I've seen others pay separately for MySQL access. I would expect to pay between $5-$15 more per month, if it was a separate item. Alnisa -- .

Hello All, I think for a thin page with PHP+mySQL you can go as low as $3 a month (35MB) I have seen decent packages, with Vserver privileges at around $18/mnt. --- Alnisa Allgood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 4:09 PM +1000 8/24/01, Chris Aitken wrote: > >Hi All, > > > > > >Just a quick non-technical question. > > > >I live in Australia and a friend of mine has a website > hosted here > >in Oz, and he pays his set amount per month which simply > is for > >Hosting, cgi-bin and log file access for his website. > > > >Hes wanting to have the ability to use PHP and MySQL on > his site and > >his provider has quoted him the cost to add to his > current monthly > >charges to give him a MySQL username/password/database > and PHP > >ability. > > > >Both he and I feel its a bit pricey for what they want > to charge so > >I figured I would ask the list to see what other people > consider a > >reasonable price to add PHP and MySQL access to his > current > >www/cgi-bin/logs website. > > > Personally, I've always dealt with ISPs that offer PHP > and MySQL as > part of the basic monthly web hosting cost, which I > generally expect > to run between $20-$50 per month, depending on amount of > space > provided, backbone of the provider, and other variables. > > Can PHP be offered as an add-on, I thought it was either > or not, but > anyway...
