is bw free these days? nakedhosting 100mbps with each server
 

just looked a this promotion they are having, i remember when a 100Mbps connection would be 10k/mo.

people think this is a good thing, but pay attention to the reason the tubes are here, because of low bandwidth prices

thoughts? tubes will keep getting better when bandwidth is free

You can get 100 Mbps non-managed for around $100 / month pretty easily these days. But if you go below that double check for a catch. Even some offering it for around the $100 price point may have some hidden issues.

One big thing to check for is whether or not the host is in some way throttling connections per thread. I saw one host who throttled each single connection to 50K/s. At that speed video streams will tend to constantly have to buffer. Make sure to check for this and other stuff. :thumbsup

unlimited bandwidth was here since the start of the internet

sure, but there were a lot of tricks there and i remember it was not allowed on the adult accounts because they could use so much bw

thanks for the response, signupdammit, i just hadnt seen 100mbps given away for free before, really got me thinking how cheap it can be to start a high volume tube site for next to nothing now

The entry 100mbps plan of Naked Hosting is $99 AND fully managed. What do you think the catch is?

They even let you pay with epassporte! :)

Don't know. There may not be one but I'd definitely check things thoroughly before jumping on. I'm paying $120 right now for unmanaged 100 Mbps without a catch and have been for most of the year so maybe the economy is just helping to force prices down?

This should not be surprising. Technology does not remain stagnant.

Fiber optic technology is rapidly increasing in speed and capability. Providers that update their equipment on a regular basis can give their customers great deals.

Right now Win2k8 Dual core servers w/ a 1Gbps connection (on the external Internet port) are readily available. (I'm paying less than $120/month for that kind of setup btw.)

you get what you pay for

sure, thats what i thought as well, but its rare that you see a host like natnet, mojohost, etc put their neck out in a special like that when it may affect their service

if we are not at the point where the price of bandwidth no longer matters, its very close if hosts can make money off of deals like that

Bandwidth is something you shouldn't ever have to worry about. Just like you don't pay attention to your internet usage.

what does it have to do with NatNet or Mojohost?

the promo is from nakedhosting (which is crap)

thats a nice deal

Their tech support is far from super awesome but not as bad as others. I won't name any names though :thumbsup

They are good to their customers I just wish they were a little faster and more ambitious.

Bandwidth is cheap these days,i dont even bother to check bandwidth usage on my servers anymore.

All you seem to do in every post I see you in is talk shit.

Do you have a life at all?

Grow up dude....

Btw, Naked is hosted on the same network as Natnet...

Most companies that use this model hope you don't use all the bandwidth

10 tb at http://securedservers.com promo is on now. Might have to contact Chris to get it.

Great promo.

This year alone I've dealt with five or six hosts for various reasons and they always tie for first place in my book. Mojo and Reflected are also great ... I've always had equally great experiences with all three of them.

For the Naked competitor who says most hosts hope you do not use all that is alloted, I can say that Naked is not that way. They threw in another 25 MBPS for free on one of my servers when I started hitting the ceiling.

I've always referred people to them without using an affiliate link so they probably wanted to return the favor ... so customers of theirs, please don't contact them thinking they'll do the same.

from reading the board, there are a few hosts that stand out that keep getting good reviews, natnet, mojohost, nakedhosting

so i guess what i was trying to say is that they dont seem like a fly-by-night group that would make an offer like that and not back it up

There are four main points which make up a good hosting company.

1. Datacenter (is it a hall closet, or a facility worth of the worlds biggest companies?)

2. Bandwidth (is it congested, oversold and saturated trash, or the real deal?)

3. Server Hardware (are you being sold ancient dragons who have been lurking in a DC since 1999, or getting servers that are either brand new or less than a year old, and are they warrantied?)

4. Support/Management (do you get real 24/7/365 support from people who know what they're doing, or is there one real tech, and a 24/7/365 team of front-liner noobs who do nothing but say "We'll forward this to someone who knows what they're doing and will complete this ticket in 7-10 business days)



I keep reminding people of this. You simply will not get a reliable server with a bajillion mbps of good bandwidth in a great datacenter with an awesome support team for pennies.

As consumers of web hosting, you guys (and gals) need to not only shop with your wallet but also with your heads and look at the big picture. What is it worth to get a 100mbps server for $99 if in the end it's going to cost you thousands due to hidden caveats and poor uptime?

I'm not saying everyone has to or can afford to pay top dollar for the most elite hosting plan out there, but I urge you all to remember that in the end, it will truly behoove you to ignore gimmicky pitches to get the world for $5, and look at all the angles to derive what the best deal truly is.

:2 cents:

the low price entry level dedicateds usually have too little RAM, so maybe the companies are hoping you will want to upgrade and pay a much higher price for some extra RAM :2 cents:

this thread is very misleading. natnet mojohost and nakedhosting aren't the only good options.

Phatservers/Amerinoc are where it's at.

Anything over their virtuals have 100mbps unmetered also since you all are pimping your hosts and forgot to mention they weren't the only ones offering this.

4 very valid points which we not only meet but exceed in.

Thanks for the kudos in regards to the promo. I am really excited about the month of November. It has been months since we have ran a promo that offers this much bang for your buck!

sorry, wasnt trying to exclude amerinoc or hosts like way3, or techiemedia (i remember that thread where somebody was bitching about a 4 hour ticket response and they pretty much proved that most of their tickets get taken care of in 4 min), those were just a few that came to mind that i posted about

thats a great deal for a managed server, very nice guys

Do you have experience with nakedhosting? Can you show anyone who has experience with them that has said anything bad? Or are you just talking out of your ass?

I've been with them a little over a year and it's cheap and great (two things which are usually hard to find together in hosting).

i agree they are a great host, i doubt he hosted with them

I have a server there. Support is shit.

Maybe it's good for your 100 hits/day blog tho..

weird, NakedHosting is in NatNat's data center and won't come close to that deal.

i think natnet is a much bigger company and may have more exposure from current clients paying more for 100mbps line and may not want to risk having to match it

So was overselling.

bump for a good host

I have a server with them and have been very satisfied. They seem quite professional.

24/7 phone support is effective. You can call the noc direct 866 line, I mean I don't bug them for fun but if you need support.. .

"Want the features you are accustomed to on your shared plan? Add
cPanel/WHM/Softaculous for only $35/month."

Not a catch, but something to think about if you like using these features.

QFTT :)

You can buy cpanel/whm directly from author and it would probably cost same.

Varies. It depends on a number of factors in regards to pricing.
