Anyone nows if it is possible to host (and to run, also) a site using PHP and mySQL in iDisk? I'm a completely newbie to PHP, but I want to learn and host my little first dinamic sites.

Thank you four your help.

No unfortunately .mac doesn't offer these features. This was one reason I dropped my .mac account. If you want these you'll have to get an account with a host such as Dreamhost. It offers php/mysql, plus other perks such as webdav and ssh access for your site. They host my site and I've been really happy with the reliability and tech support when I've needed it.

Just want to second the vote for Dreamhost, they have hosted my websites for a couple of years. They offer mySQL, PHP etc. and are very straightforward. Lots of support available online for them too.

Check out www.totalchoicehosting.com They have some great features and at a pretty good price and have been very reliable for me.
