Referral's are forbidden here

How's the speed? I've been using phpwebhosting.com thus far which includes about the same stuff at same price, except yours has 100 ftp accounts for free, which would be very useful. I also saw they said no content restrictions? :Q Anyway, looking for bandwidth limits/regulations now...


Aha... they charge anually (tho no cancellation fees + full prorated refund). I suppose that will make it not hot to many.

I smell referral...
Still, this looks like a good deal. I'd be interested in hearing from some people who have experience with them.

Redban, you said you're using them as your provider? Your site seems to load VERY SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOWLY...I'm hoping it's just because of your content.

redban: asking for referrals is technically against the rules. Godaddy is 8.95/year.

This seems like a really good deal, considering that the current cheap fav, which cleaned up with the Cyberwings refugees, Dixiesys(aka 3-95.com) has 400meg storage/7.5gig transfer/50 emails. The other favorite was I think webulux(I may be getting the name wrong, plz correct me), could someone post their terms for $10/month?

How is the speed of this package, everyone post your opinions if you've had this.

Trace on webmasters.com reveals that they're relying heavily on Cogent bandwidth, hence the less-than-zippy load times.

NOT hot! I have all my websites running with Webulex and they have great service as well. You can ACTUALLY SPEAK TO A LIVE REP!! Does your web host allow that? They allow give you Messenger live support.

Webulex deals

I was also dixiesys before but we all know whats up with 'kurt' from Alabamer.

Sorry but i consider the 2gigs of webspace and 20 gigs of transfer that i just signed up for this past weekend a hot deal, only cost $20 a year.

 

[redban]

OK, I dont even know if I get any referal bonus if you sign up. I was just saying if there is a part in the application to do that throw my name in.. This post wasn't to get referals.

As for speed, www.redban.com is loaded with huge file sizes... try going to another website that I have done www.joerogan.org ..that uses my same account for redban.

I have had no downtimes that I know of, speed has been fine, and they have online email so you can check it anywhere...and online FTP access (by browser)...

I have about 6 websites hosted by them, and have nothing but good things to say... now my experiance with www.abac.com is a whole different story..stay FAR AWAY from them... As for support, yeh 24/7...and its a live person.

Where's this at? I assume that's 20gig transfer per month (not per year )?

I wonder how many quotes we can get before we get an explanation on this statement?

I'm assuming that you got confused with Gary's name. That's ok.
But I would like to know what are you implying with "up to"?
That's too strong of an statement to go without an explanation.

Only 1 email account though, with no alias ? Thats a bit strange. I'm paying $30/yr for 150mb/5GB with unlimited email and domain hosted. Not the best in term of space but served me well for an email service

 

[aphex]

For all those asking about the 2gb hosting deal i posted earlier, unfortunately the sale ended when the amount of accts they set aside for the price filled up.

I originally heard about the deal from THIS thread...

Awesome host so far, they have been very helpful...

Hi. I'm a newbie to "webhosting". What would 6.95 come with in layman's terms? Does "Domain Name Forwarding" mean I can have my domain name registered with GoDaddy but when I type in "www.mydomain.us" in my browser, it would take me to wherever my website is, for example "http:\\xxxxx.tripod.com"?

Are there any dangers to having one? (SPAM, attacks, viruses, privacy, etc.)

Thanks!
