Welcome back to the Forum, @JavesPotato!
I think that the day the Forum goes down, InfinityFree goes down too.

How much you want to bet they just changed the title and all references of “2024” to “2025”?

I’ve been told that “freshness” of content is really important for SEO nowadays. So regularly bumping the timestamps of your old articles is necessary to make sure Google will rank it highly.
Of course, this absolutely ensures that only the best content is promoted, and there is no way to abuse this for bumping spam. /s

Does anybody find it satisfying to clean out the dust and dirt buildup from their personal computers?
When I opened my UbuntuBook to replace the speakers, I had to clean out a small amount of dust from the fan. Despite it’s small amount, it was still satisfying to get it out. I also found out about my battery turning into a spicy pillow, which explains my track-pad intermittently working.

I don’t know if my school’s web teacher will follow through, but being a personal friend of his, I’ve encouraged him to use InfinityFree for teaching his students. Considering what he does teach, InfinityFree would be perfect for his teachings. For his students, the ToS doesn’t work out well for them (age) but if it’s the teacher that permits students to use the services, and the teacher actively monitors the students’ use of the services, I don’t see an issue.

Then I don’t think you read the terms.
They say:
This Site and the Services are available only to Users who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. By using this Site or the Services, you represent and warrant that you are
1. at least eighteen (18) years of age,
2. otherwise recognized as being able to form legally binding contracts under applicable law, and
3. are not a person barred from purchasing or receiving the Services found under the laws of applicable jurisdiction.
Minors CANNOT form legally binding contracts, and a teacher CANNOT form a contact on behalf of a minor without the consent of the minors legal gradian.
Additionally, the terms do not offer an exception for educational use, so if a student created an account while not of age, that would be a violation, teacher or no teacher. There is also no exception about a minor’s use of the service if a random adult monitors them.
My advise to the teacher would be to never listen to people who suggest that having minors create an internet account is a good idea.
I am not a lawyer and this is not a legally binding statement, nor legal advise. Consult a qualified attorney instead of random people on the internet for legal advise.

So… The teacher could STILL create an account on behalf of the student, provided that the LEGAL GUARDIAN consents and agrees to the use of the service.
I knew that
UNLESS The legal guardian is the one whom creates the account, and consents the student’s use of said account.
No, because then it is the teachers account, and if there are over 3 accounts across all the emails the teacher used, that is a terms violation. It does not matter that the student it using it, it matters that the teacher created/owns it.
Yes, this is how it has to be done, something that you notably did not mention in your original post.

I just tried a little experiment to include a 2nd html file into the 1st using only client side javascript instead of server side php, it actually worked !

If the school has the legal guardian’s consent, the student can create an account using the school’s provided Email address. When the teacher asks for the legal guardian’s consent, they tend to ask on behalf of the school. Also, if the teacher is using his/her personal Email adresses, that would be a ToS violation for having the exceeded limit under his/her name.
EDIT: Noticed the loopback to your original statement, making the above technically invalid.

I wonder if anyone maintains that distro. I know that my sister uses a linux distro similarly themed to that.
Neat! If PHP is absent, this would help.
I actually use a similar technique to load my navigation bar on my Website.
I need to update it to use php instead, but it works quite well

I have noticed that if /.env is appended to the end of website urls hosted on infinityfree it doesn’t like it
The connection was reset
The only reason I know of this /.env is because it popped up in the cloudflare list of weird stuff people have tried against my site
Now my question is what is this .env and why does it result in a reset connection, I couldn’t find any useful information with the polluted search engines

The .env file is responsible for any environmental variable, which also include passwords and other sensible data; this is why they blocked access to those types of files as well. To do the last thing I said, the server admins used the 444 status code to be returned by the server, which on NGINX means to close the connection without any response from the server; this is why the browser returns that error you just posted.

That explains why someone tried it on my site, I’m glad it is blocked 
Thanks for the information
