Ruby, PHP, MySQL, Perl, Free Hosting for geeks

FYI, so I thought "Ok, I might try it for something simple" and signed up. Got an error that I hadn't accepted the terms/conditions, which incidentally, are very easy to miss. So I checked the button again, after re-entering my password. Then, I mind-farted and wrote "June" for the 5th month of the year, so the submission failed again. After re-entering my password a second time, and re-checking the terms and conditions box, and re-entering the captcha answer, on the third request, got an error that my "About You" wasn't long enough.*

Then, I gave up.

Full text was: "Learning ruby & javascript. Will host some simple one page apps with Sinatra. Current project: simple anagram finder." What else do you need here?

msluyter: sorry to hear about the signup troubles but the motivation length is min 140 chars. We don't think that this is too long (one tweet?). Adding a more line or few more words should do the trick (e.g. write something about yourself or if you prefer a poem!). At least we don't use re-captcha - each time I sign up for a site using that I need at least 4 or 5 attempts ! Thanks to this HN submission we are received a lot of applications so you can make it too! (if you want of course).
