[homer] So, this free web page dealie… how much will it cost me?[/homer] Woah, count me in and a big thank you for your generosity. Im sure a lot of people would be collectively willing to pay the nominal $50 /month for something like this. Maybe you could have a two tiered system like 6Mb + Ads: free. 12Mb + no ads: $20 a year or something. ---

Sorry Opalcat, I should have read more carefully. I don’t have a reason for having a web address at [myname.Teemingmillions.com](http://myname.Teemingmillions.com) - but if available I would most likely use it if I need one. ---

I’d use it if PHP was supported and external CGI so that something like [Movable Type](http://www.movabletype.org/) could be used with all of the bells and whistles PHP affords. So what say you on PHP and CGI? A lot to ask of free space, I know, but hey, it’s worth asking, right? ---

I don’t get to make the rules about what is offered and what isn’t. I’m teaming up with [about.com](http://about.com) to offer this, and the content would actually be pysically hosted on their servers. Here is the feature structure: [http://tinyurl.com/2tem](http://tinyurl.com/2tem) Btw, I have the [yourname@teemingmillions.com](mailto:yourname@teemingmillions.com) email service up. [http://tinyurl.com/2teo](http://tinyurl.com/2teo) When I get the webspace deal finished, you will be able to create email addresses [name@yourname.teemingmillions.com](mailto:name@yourname.teemingmillions.com) 🙂 ---

I should add that for those premium services, [about.com](http://about.com) gets the money, I see none of it 😕 ---

I’ve just started up a tiny webzine (which I hope will be growing into a bigger tiny webzine 😉 ), and I’d love to move it from its present, rather uncool home to the far hipper teemingmillions domain 🙂 Keep us posted. ---

I’m willing to host most cgi scripts on [teemingmillions.com](http://teemingmillions.com) on a per-case basis. Once things are rolling, just get in touch with me if you have something you want to run. ---

Opal – Movable Type (which powers weblogs) could be a one-script deal. If you installed it, everyone could use that one install. They’d just get their own username/password and access to only their own blogs. That’d be very cool. I need to think about this. Hmmmm. ---

tlw: that isn’t the issue. I don’t think that they allow php. This isn’t something that I am hosting on my server–I don’t get to configure the server permissions. ---

MT is straight Perl/CGI. PHP would just be for the goodies. Fun, but not essential. 🙂 ---

Well I could host it on [teemingmillions.com](http://teemingmillions.com) on my server. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/http-yourname-teemingmillions-com-would-you-use-it/137129.md?page=2)
