HostPC 2/1 sale

[usernamemax20charact]

Details:

This sale is now in effect

* 2 for 1 means double the posted quota allotment on the web hosting (Double all quotas) on currently published hosting plans

* Applies to upgrades and new accounts only (a new account is defined as a hosting account on a domain we haven't hosted in at least 90 days or an individual we haven't had as a reseller for at least 90 days)

* Applies to both regular hosting and reseller accounts

* Does not apply to domain registration, dedicated servers or any "extras"

* Cancelling your account and signing up during the sale will not yield 2 for 1 on the same domain name

* Cancelling a reseller account and signing up during the sale will not yield 2 for 1 unless you are upgrading to a higher priced plan

* The plan will stay with you as long as you remain a customer in good standing with HostPC.com - if you later upgrade during a period where 2 for 1 is not being offered you revert back to a non-doubled plan, however you can "stack" a non sale plan onto a 2 for 1 plan to make a bigger allotment if you need more later

* Our 30 day money back guarantee is not price protection, it is to be used if you are dissatisfied with our service - not to cancel and sign up during the sale

* The spirit of the 2 for 1 sale is to attract new business and promote upgrading - please stay within the spirit of the offer

Same here. Their support is great too, they respond in like 5 mins.

 

[huesmann]

'nother satisfied customer here.

 

[ttown]

another satisfied customer here

...although i got in at a lower price late last year
Not terribly high, but not the super-duper-bargain they were

customer-service response has been excellent and fast
direct-admin (aka DA) is very friendly. 10000% better than 1and1.coms interface.

overall rating: very satisfied, and I'd still recommend them at $30

 

[randomlinh]

currently, I'm on a p4 2.8 w/ HT and 1GB ram I believe. So I'd expect something similar or better.

 

[cakin]

I have 2 domains there and I am happy!

 

[RossMAN]

I've also been happy with HostPC and they rock because:

• They are one of the few affordable web hosts who have a solid established reputation in the web hosting industry.
• Their forums are active and helpful, support usually responds within a few hours. I've even called them a few times. *waves hi to Joe*
• DirectAdmin with Installatron pwnz cPanel with Fantastico.
• For a bargain web host it's really hard to beat the value and support which HostPC offers.

 

[tbooth]

I have 2 domains hosted with hostpc and have been happy with the service as well.

 

[psiu]

bumpity bump.


If you look at the standard plans and mentally double them....well, those are some hot deals. Especially with such a well regarded webhost.

Oh, and I'm quite happy with them.

Oh, and right now I'm on a P4 2.4 Ghz server thats been up for ~30 days.

 

[McDealer]

Thanks for the positive comments guys!!

For us lazy types!

Now, for us less experienced types, can I use the directory passwords to require folks to log on in order to see certain web content? I want to be able to control access through user names.

Not a thread crap, but when faced with a choice, I went with www.webhostingbuzz.com

Linky-poo.

1GB of space, 25GB of bandwidth, unlimited emails, parked domains, add-on domains, subdomains. Not bad for me. Lotsa flexibility for another $6 a year. Got two main webpages, and no complaints so far. FWIW, it was more convenient to go with this than to keep a P233 up 24/7 as a webserver (which I did for about a year and a half). Of course, YMMV.

[huesmann]

How long has webhostingbuzz been working, and how are their user comments?

No clue on timeframe. I've had an account with them for just under 4 months, and I'm happy with it. For all I know it's a flybynight operation that will fold up any day, and I'll be out ... now, let's see, $24.

WHB certainly doesn't have support like kirbsaw was saying (5 mins); it's more like 12 hours or so. I had some startup problems with getting DNS migrated (including a DNS takeover by a previous host), but once time worked on that, everything migrated, and I'm way happier than I was running my own webserver.

I'm sure there are other alternatives. This was just my $0.02

Plus whatever value you put on your time and frustration when they fold and you can't figure out why your website isn't resolving and you're not getting any e-mail.
