Hosting alternative
 

I am looking for a hosting company that doesn't have contracts and monthly fees, just pay for the bandwidth you use.

Is there any?

http://127.0.0.1/ would be the only one that does !!

thanks dude.

anyone?

Ill host you on my box. Current rate is 25cents a meg. :thumbsup

I wouldn't be surprised if some hosts would be wlling to work out a deal like that with you. At the very least, places will happily move you to the appropriate hosting plan each month.

he said, "no contracts"

when i think of agreeing to a contract, i think of- agreeing to their terms of service and privacy policy. i don't see why you wouldn't agree to that if they're going to host your site.

a contract that has a pre-determined length of service agreement might be different tho

what type of contract are you trying to avoid?

hit me up on icq in my sig i know i can cater to exactly what you want :)

I want to avoid a pre-determined length contract, so I don't have to stay with that host for 1 year or a few months, and I don't know how much traffic I will use so it's more likely to only pay for the bandwith I use than having a strict plan.

Maybe this could be of interest to you:

I assumed that by "contract" you meant minimum term. As far as I know, there are plenty of hosts that do not require you to sign anything saying you will stay for a certain amount of time.

Select plan below what you use and pay overage.

Maybe this could be of better interest to you:
