I saw this kind of script is not allowed
- Any script that uses & processes a massive number of flatfiles or large flatfile databases.
what does it mean? you mean a script does not use database but use text files or something to store infomation? How big is massive number and how big is large?
I also need to ask something about:
1. Does image hosting script allowable?
2. Does lanuage other than English site allowable?
3. Does a site mainly(or only) concern about download but does not put any download file on the server(outside server) allowable?
4. What's the largest single file size allowable on the server, and how big of it is PHP upload able.
5. Can more than one person use my Forum account so 2 people(or more) can "buy" hosting by sharing(I know this sounds point less because your host increase at the same rate as posts)
6. where does each one of your server located in the world
Thanks... I think that's all I gota ask...

Flatfiles are not to be used in any "large" amount. If it has over just a handful (15 - 20 entries) use MySQL or PostgreSQL.
1) No this is not allowed. It falls under "reselling" your space and will cause your hosting account to be closed without warning.
2) Your website may be built in any language you like, but the administration has the right to request that you translate anything on your website into English. If in the event you refuse your account will be closed.
3) You may not place files on your hosting account here strictly for hotlinking. That is not allowed and will cause your account to be closed.
4) This is changed on a per account basis and depends on a number of factors.
5) No. Your forum account is for you and you alone. If multiple people post from one account the forum account will be deactivated.
6) USA.

No, but they can have their own forum accounts and earn their own points. You can affliate with them and make the points of all count towards a specific Hosting Account.
How do my partners and I signup for hosting in a group?

basically, flatfile databases are database within a text file, *.txt fo some sort and maybe perhaps within the php file. it uses delimiter like comma and "this character" >> "|". php scripts opens this flatfile database via a php tag something like "fopen()" or something else.
if you are to use mysql or other means of sql databases, you can skip that notice or limitation to your hosting since sql databases don't produce that much server loads than basic flatfile database. like what Trel had said, better to use a SQL database. Another note is that hosting here in lifelesspeople grants you 15 available sql database at the lowest hosting plan.
