What's a Lua?

You could use 000webhost.com. I think Wordpress would be best for the actual web page stuff. .

000webhost is great, as long as you have HTML and/or PHP knowledge

Hmmm, okay, I'll check it out later when I'm at home.
Does it allow registration/login or not? Can people (anyone) post things (links/pictures) onto the website?

It's a blogging system. You can make pages, people can comment, etc.

Yeah, figured 
I'm trying to figure out how to make it able for users to add a link to a page that then is saved to a Database.
And then get the information from that database using ComputerCraft.
Can this be done?

Yes, I know that.
I know a little about PHP and MySQL but I have no clue how I would use the HTTP api to extract information from the MySQL table.

Well, as long as the information is in plain text, you can pull the info directly from the server using http.get, or get a response using http.request. You can have the server respond to certain requests with the information you want using PHP. I don't know how to do it server side, but the HTTP api is fairly straight forward.

Go to http://w3schools.com for some PHP and MySQL tutorials. Just have a PHP script extract data from a MySQL database depending on the variables you pass via the http.get function.

But is this possible with 000webhost websites? The extracting of MySQL tables. Not sure if I can make my own PHP script.
Could anyone give me an example of how extracting the information would work.

You quarry the data from the database and echo it.

<?php
//Who wants to bet this won't highlight correctly?
mysql_connect("localhost", "YOURMYSQLUSERNAME", "YOURMYSQLPASSWORD");
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM YOURTABLEHERE");
echo json_encode(mysql_fetch_assoc($query));
//Really, you should be using PDO and perpared statements. I'm not typing that out, and I doubt 000WH has support for it.
?>
--You will need a pure-Lua JSON decoder. There are a few of these floating around.
print("Now fetching data from website")
result = http.get("LINKTOYOURPHPSCRIPT").readAll()
if result ~= "" then
results = json.decode(result)
else
print("Unable to fetch data from website")
end
