Hey, for some reason I thought some people here would be able to answer this. I am looking for access to something on the net where I can set up some web stuff just to try some things out and catch my skills up. I can boot in linux and that has been good to experiment with, but I don't think I can handle running it exclusively. It might be neat to run a second machine as a linux box but I live in a pretty small apartment and I don't want another machine here. I could probably figure out how to set up a server but configuring and maintaining it would be annoying. So I really just want to log in remotely somewhere that has a live working web server and mess around with junk like php, ajax and other good stuff. This is why I need more than just the casual html-page uploading that comes with most ISP service. I'd be willing to pay some if I had to. Can anyone suggest a place where I can do this? I use Comcast for access, but all they include for hosting is html and some file storage.

You can install Apache and PHP in Windows, too. Then you can access it as through http://localhost/.

Or if you're not feeling so adventerous to set up Apache, there's OmniHTTPd (which I use) Note: It comes with PHP built-in (PHP4), so if you're really lazy, it's easier.

Else there's also easyphp.org which is kinda great and easy to use.
