noob here well, i was thinking that besides the fact that many webhost have free trial, there would be the advantage that they're niche vpn
With PHP you could send commands to client/server
The question is. Do people do this? Is it there anykind of measure webhosting companies take to regulate this?
I tried it but seems like php works slow doing this kind of tasks

yeah that's why i suppose. Why im gonna use a webhost as vpn. I assume webhosting ip is not blocked as none uses them as a client I hope it doesn't give me problems
