Almost all shared hosting plan offers at least one FREE domain registration, some offers multiple with slightly additional fee.

A lot of free “real” domains are offered by web hosting companies. Web hosts will offer free domains with a web hosting package.

Be careful signing up for such service. You may end up with a free domain but a year’s worth of junky web hosting service. The best advice is to keep your domains registered and web sites hosted with different companies.

Finally, seriously consider what domain ownership means. Domain ownership means possessing virtual real estate. Domain names have value and can be bought, sold, traded and developed. They are an investment. Don’t let anyone or anything keep you from true domain ownership even if the offer is free.

I have selected 10 trust worthy hosts from here, which are providing hosting and free domain name while you own the domain name.

Are you looking for charting tool for your presentation on web pages ? Google Chart API may be just right for you.

The Google Chart API lets you dynamically generate charts using Google Server resources. To see the Chart API in action, open up a browser window and copy the following URL into it:

http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chd=t:60,40&chs=250x100&chl=Hello|World

Other examples of chart you can create.

All the examples above are created on the fly on google server. If you would do it from your web hosting account, it would have eat up a lot of your server resources. Why not just leave it to Google API chart ?

Restriction :- NO restriction, as long as you do not abuse it. No limit on number of times you call the API, but you are advised to inform google in advance if you use more than 250k times in a single day.

Check out the detail API on http://code.google.com/apis/chart/ on how you can use it.

How do I offset the Timezone for my location, instead of the server timezone?

First of all, setting the timezone at .htaccess level using “SetEnv TZ location” doesn’t work on your php script.

If you are using PHP 5.1 and ealier, add this code within your php

putenv(‘TZ=Europe/London’);   /* change the TZ value accordingly. */

If you are using PHP 5.1 up, add this code within your php script.

date_default_timezone_set(‘Europe/London’);
