Neocities, PHP and SQL

Sunday, 17th September 2023

Important Update: Monday, 26th August 2024

Well, there used to be a tutorial here which described how to create a PHP/SQLite powered poll, host it on 000webhost and integrate it into your Neocities site.

Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with 000webhost where they closed the account that had the poll on it without warning. They wanted me to pay for their supposedly premium service, "hostinger" to re-gain access. A bit shady if you ask me, and I will never pay for that hosting.

On top of that, 000webhost is now in the process of closing down completely anyway, and it's not possible to create new accounts.

I did a little looking around for other free alternatives, and cut a long story short there isn't one that seems reputable and has the required functionality to make the poll work.

It is now my opinion that it's a good idea to stay away from free PHP hosts.

In the future, I may rework the tutorial using a reputable paid host such as Webhosting UK or DreamHost.

I guess that sums it up. While the poll is no longer here, I do have a couple other projects that may help you build your Neocities website or add some interactivity:
