    Probably not MySQL either.



    Most cheap or free hosts refuse to install PHP due to security issues.

    I wanted to beat my head against a wall too cause it didnt support PHP. If .Mac supported PHP they would have sold me soo close. Oh well there are lots of other hosting packages out there.

    PHP and MySQL would make .Mac much more valuable, but sadly neither of them work.

    .Mac is a set of services designed to be easy to use and integrate your life with the internet and the rest of the world. If you actually need PHP and MySQL, you shouldn't even be using .Mac even if it supported it; go somewhere else. Since people here who wanted it had to even ask if .Mac supported it, I'm assuming you found some scripts to play with. They would also have to give away signifigant cpu time and watch for crummy scripts that bring down an entire system, and devote cpu time to mysql. You're dreaming if you think you can get all this and PHP and MySQL for ~$4 a month.

    While we're doing some wishful thinking, add my wish for virtual domain hosting on .Mac to the list. Of course, you can get that much cheaper elsewhere.

    Uh... I pay £30 ($45) per year for my hosting. Has PHP, MySQL, unlimited disk space and 5GB bandwidth. Not had any problems yet.
