You will have to create an index.php file. Some code you can put in it is so: ```auto ``` You can read this PHP guide to find some awesome stuff to do: > **[PHP Tutorial](https://www.w3schools.com/php/)** > > W3Schools offers free online tutorials, references and exercises in all the major languages of the web.

thank you so much , It works well. I would like to try this service now and buy the better one from this company later. I used xamp for training and I have never tested on a server connected to a network. ---

This is not something that’s possible on a web hosting service. The key characteristics of a web hosting service is that it’s a shared server, and the software on it is managed by the hosting provider. A consequence of this is that you can’t typically run your own background processes, or bind your own programs to ports on the server. With web hosting, your website code is executed and the page accessed through the web server software of the hosting provider. I don’t know any web hosting service where what you want is possible. It’s not possible on our free hosting or on iFastNet’s premium hosting. I’m pretty sure you’ll need your own (virtual) server, or VPS, for this. ---
