Some good free webhosts:

http://www.sponsoradulto.com (in Spanish) -> very good!
http://www.50free.com
http://www.pipni.cz -> good, but domain only.

Xoops uses only one database. And you can install unlimited XOOPS sites into a single database by using different table prefixes for each site.

I have just created an acount there. I took a look at the phpinfo() of this host and seems very good! It has GD (v2.0.23) with FreeType!

PHP is not limited to creating just HTML output. It can also be used to create and manipulate image files in a variety of different image formats, including gif, png, jpg, wbmp, and xpm. Even more convenient, PHP can output image streams directly to a browser. You will need to compile PHP with the GD library of image functions for this to work. GD and PHP may also require other libraries, depending on which image formats you want to work with.

From:http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php

FreeType 2 is a software font engine that is designed to be small, efficient, highly customizable and portable while capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images). It can be used in graphics libraries, display servers, font conversion tools, text image generation tools, and many other products as well..

Note that FreeType 2 is a font service and doesn't provide APIs to perform higher-level features, like text layout or graphics processing (e.g. colored text rendering, "hollowing", etc..). However, it greatly simplifies these tasks by providing a simple, easy to use and uniform interface to access the content of font files.

Fromhttp://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/index.html


It is a very useful feature for manipulation and creation of images using PHP.
