Hey I'm a great fan of this service, and I'm hoping to move forward with my stuff towards a socket application of some sort, like a chat.

So I have two questions.

I already made an AJAX chat, visible at my homepage
http://cfalcon.webege.com


But it fails to work after about 5 minutes of use, I assume the constant updating is registered by the host as spamming the server? Then I get blocked from accessing it for a day or so.

Is there a way to turn that off, so that the chat can work reliably?


Also I know sockets in about 5 languages, C++, Java, Python, PHP, ActionScript

But I can't run executables on the server, is there a way I can use JSP, python, or .asc files to host a socket server of any sort?

Preferably using a technology above I know.

So the two questions are
Are there any free socket server options?
Are there any ways to ease the spam detection?

You should read carefully and observe the rules that you have accepted and appear in the Terms of Service (ToS).

5. Chat, proxy, or file download scripts are not allowed. (allowed if you upgrade account)

Ah, okay, thank you.

Is there something available currently I could use for testing applications?
Or are sockets disabled until I upgrade?

[poppinfreshgentleman]

I was trying to use simple server and client sockets and they definitely seem disabled.

The pages hang as though they really are trying to work, but there's definitely something that disallows them from working.
Maybe they work for port 80 to retrieve pages, but this is not the same.

000webhost advertises that it supports sockets, and this host has always been awesome, but why isn't this working?
