? Free Domain Registration

or..

$3.95

? 5 GB (5,000 MB) of Web Space
? 40GB Bandwidth
? Ensim Control Panel
? No Setup Fee
? 5000 Pop3 Accounts

? FTP Access
? 5 Subdomains (http://something.yourdomain.com)

i would go with www.candidhosting.com

they're base plan is a little more exspensive than that, but i bet if you get in touch with one of the guys there they can work something out for you

You get what you pay for, spend a little bit more cash and get quality hosting. Cheap hosting almost always sucks ass.

NaughtyJenn · 06-18-2004, 11:13 AM

wow 20 gigs of space.. thats a good deal!

thanks guys!! I was wondering if the quality of the hosting is comparable when it comes to price differences??

is it like buying a $20 pair of shoes or $100 pair?? y'know what I mean??

do u get what u pay for??

I'd honestly go with Webair.

Their 9.95 plan is more than enough to start off. 25 gigs of transfer and unlimited domains is a steal for that price.

Their support is awesome too.

You *do* get what you pay for, and even though 40 gigs of bandwith for 4 bucks sounds good, I bet it will crap out when you start nearing those 40 gigs.

Odie · 06-18-2004, 11:49 AM

thanks for the advice!! does anyone know anyone at webair??

Hit me up, we do virtual hosting.

I'll give you a good deal.

PbG · 06-18-2004, 11:59 AM

Odie having used Ensim I would say pass. You will find many ridiculously low deals like that on Ensim boxes because they can't give that shit away. If you are looking for a host with a control panel, know that Cpanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin, respectively are the top three!

All of our regularly priced shared/virtual plans come with Cpanel and many other extras like Protection against Ddos, DOS, Brute force, Proxy Attacks, Password Trading and robots. On dedicated *nix based boxes you may choose Cpanel or Plesk.

Odie, those prices you post originally, they are too cheap, with web hosting you really do get what you pay for. Take a look at CybeHost, we can provide the quality of service that you need along with very attractive prices.

I didn't know bandwidth packages came that cheap....

Disco_Stu · 06-18-2004, 04:24 PM

Remmeber some people DO have 100 mbps lines and 300 terrabyte servers. I know of a dc that has vitrtual hosts, they have almost 4,000 terrabytes, theyre on a 100mbps line, and they sell 10 gigs of space and 200 gigs of bw for $49.95 monthly.

People say you get what you pay for, but not always, these guys kill in pure numbers, they arent kids renting a dedicated somewhere hoping that theyll make sales, these guys OWN the dc.

Just my

Disco_Stu · 06-18-2004, 04:25 PM

But yes Odie, what you posted, they are overselling, it's when they have no server space really, theyre trying to make a fast buck, so they make promises they HOPE no one will ever use.
