250GB + 2100GB Traffic for $9.75?
 

Ok, not usually one for plugging hosting companies but this is just too much of an insane deal not to mention... :pimp

This company called Servage (Link Here) is offering the following for $9.75 per month.
1: 250GB space
2: 2100GB Traffic
3: Free domain (when prepay 6 months in advance), etc...

And for everyone you refer to them they also give you 2 months free hosting and an extra 25GB of HDD space???
PS: I join them this morning, upped a test file and I get 300kbps download speeds (max bandwidth of my connection) using DAP.

Yep, Agreed

I just started with them and they're great

And if you sign up through an affiliate...you and the affiliate get that 25GB extra space....pretty sweet

hey...is that a link in my sig???:winkwink:

This is just crazy, I don't understand how they can afford to do this...

Someone post that coupon code and I'll sign up

Coupon code: cust28876

I have been refered by Stan:winkwink:

Do they take pay pal?

hehe cheers, and yes they do :)

I really prefer www.DreamHost.com
And use the following coupon: "MDDR" , or "5back" and you will the final budget is $97 cheaper.

It will be something like: $29.40/year (= $2.45/month!)

Fucking great IMO!

has anyone ran any sites that has decent traffic on them though ?

or like a fairly busy blog ?

Here is a test file so that everyone can test the speed: http://www.xxxhardcoredvds.com/test.exe

Ow yeah and dont forget that if you have 350K+ hits they will shut your website down...........that's also fucking great!

Yeah go ahead and sign up!

Hits? Why would they care about hits, its bandwidth usage that matters. I don't think they would let you use up 2.1TB and then shut you down if 350,000 people visit a 1kb html file...

I've heard really horrible things about servage. Nice spam attempt though. :thumbsup

you get what you pay for

Reviews give it nothing below 4/5 on all aspects... :thumbsup

Would you jump off a cliff if everyone else said you would live? Search around a bit more than grabbing the first or second link from Google and taking that as fact.

You can find horror stories on every hosting company out there, but the fact is that most of those stories are from people who actually did something they weren't supposed to... if majority sais its good and a handfull say its bad then its pretty obvious.

No, that just means the majority that found problems were actually pushing traffic to their sites in order for them to have problems. No traffic no problems. Search around.

They do allow adult so I may just give them a shot with a virtual account for a month or two and see how they handle me.

True, ah well, I guess time will tell :)

Also just as a followup to that, this is from their site: Our hosting package allows 70 GB traffic per day or maximum 2100 GB in a normal 30 day month. A 28 day month allows 1960 GB transfer and a 31 day allows a maximum transfer of 2170 GB.

What those people did probably violated those terms and sent a lot of traffic in one day, so even though it was within the monthly limit it wasn't within a daily one...

gayest spam ever

who are you hoping to sign up with a 8$ hosting plan?

Is it crap bandwidth?

its gotta be crap something....no offense to any companies involved

see sig btw :thumbsup

uhhhh, its crap... why? same reason with dreamhost, the second you get close to using up that much, you get shut down... why? their plan is to offer HUGE bandwidth/space for VERY little, and get a bunch of people who use a fraction of it, and bank off them, where as they bite dust of the people who actually use it, and then can them for using it...


www.phatservers.com if you need a reliable host, no ref code no nothing, hit up sly hes a cool cat

No, it's not bandwith usage that matters. It's server resources that matter.

This is called overselling. The host crams tons of customers on to one server and hopes that not everyone will use what their package offers them.

I'll put this is really simple numbers. Say you're on a server with 99 other customers. Each customer is using 1% of the server's resources. A really popular site links to your 1KB homepage and suddenly, your traffic jumps from 1000 hits to 100K hits. Suddenly, your site is using 3% of the resources on the server. The server crashes. The host closes your account.

Hosting companies pay their bandwith providers somewhere between 10 and 25 cents per GB of bandwith (depending on quality of bandwith and volume purchased). How can they afford to give to 2100 GB for only $9.75 when it costs them at least $210 for that bandwith? And don't forget to factor in cost of hardware, rental fees, licenses, electricity, employees, etc.

There's a reason why a company like Phatservers only gives you 25 GB of bandwith on a shared account for $9.95/month.

If it sounds too good to be true, that's because it is.

alternatively, I have 320GB space, 100MBit duplex unmetered for $40 a month.

Actually you are not all on the same server...
http://www.servage.net/page/high_availability/
The Super-Node structure means that your webpage is not located on a single server, but instead on multiple servers in our cluster. When a user accesses your site he/she is instantly taken to the fastest server in our cluster.

they say so , it must be true.
http://news.netcraft.com/archives/20...g_service.html
this ones still brag about their super cluster and they blatantly fail to deliver
even the services of a single virtual server.

You are a webmaster, you should know better and not buy all the hype.

AdultMovies.bz, your first post said you only signed up with them today. seems the ppl here blowing their horn have only just signed up.

I just go by what people who use the service say, and almost all are happy, including people with very high traffic sites, but as with all things time will tell :)

this company is huge and offers that :
http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/Hos...op&__lf=Static
I think it depends on the company offering it

so what will you do when they'll fail ? (they will trust me on that)
spend days trying to find the next best buy ?
wasting hours moving everything and making sure everything works
fine on the next host ?

is the value of one signup too much to pay for something thats vital to
your business ?

And I seriously don't get why you follow the crowd.

Do you realize the package is a hoax ?
250GB diskspace and 2100GB bandwidth ? :), if you're ever gonna fill
those 250GB diskspace do you realize how much bandwidth you'll need for it ?
But I can bet that you don't need 250GB and you're rushing into it just because its a big number.

Dude I don't really worry about it that much, i bought the hosting and im using it to host MPG's on, so far with about 10000 hits to my MPG's and 90gb later its still up and runnign, can't complain bout that for under 10 bucks :thumbsup

All hosting companies which offer high bandwith for little money is fraud.That is simply not possible.

All I can say is I have been emailing the 4 email addys on there site for the last 3 weeks with different emails and no response.

I just wanted to ask a few presale questions. I hope you all don't have a problem you maybe waiting years on a response.

stick with the real hosting companies.

good deal

a test file that is an EXE file !!!!!!

I hope none of the kids downloaded and EXECUTED that shit, whatever it is .... :2 cents:

No, it doesn't depend on the company hosting it. It's overselling. The size of the company means sweet fuck all.

Let's take 1and1's business plan. You get 2000 GB of bandwidth for $10. Let's forget about all other costs except bandwith. Forget hardware, electricity, rent, employees, marketing, etc. For them to break even on just the bandwidth, they'd have to buy it for half a penny for gig. If you know of a bandwidth provider that sells bandwidth for that cheap, you could make a fortune by simply divulging that information to other hosting companies.

Why do you think Webair only gives you 250 GB of bandwidth on a $10 virtual account? Even they're overselling, except they're doing it much smarter.

Two great articles on overselling:

I got this message just 2 days after signing up for an account with them:


=============================================
Dear blahblah,

I'm afraid I have bad news for you. We have been forced
to take your account offline for the day due to an extremely
high load on your account. At this time today our servers have
served more than 418355 requests for your account.

You have not used to too much transfer it is a load issue meaning
that your site has used too many CPU resources on the cluster. If
more customers on the cluster caused such high load it would make
other sites on the system run slower which would not be fair to the
webmaster of those sites.

As stated in our terms of service we are allowed to take
offline accounts which harm other customers. In your case we
have determined that it would badly affect other customers
if we kept your site online. Therefore we have temporarily
suspended your account. We will lift the suspension at
approximately 01.00 GMT.

If you have any questions please submit a support ticket via
the control panel and our support staff will be happy to
answer any questions you may have.

Thank you for your understanding.
=================================================

I've cancelled my account and got my money.

Pay more, get more, cheap shit stays shit.

It's like food, a 5$ all-you-can-eat isn't a 500$ dinner, no matter how you promote it.

Imagine the size of that HDD

Thank you proving what I was saying in November :)

418355 requests? So they want people to upload full DVD movies and just let their friends download them?

I've heard bad things about servage as well - they have been around before the dawn of time, seriously I think they were one of the first hosting companies around and I think I even used them BEFORE I transferred to janey.net right when they were opening up ... Days of down time, etc ..

This was nearly a decade ago though ..

Dreamhost - as far as non adult, they get on your ass if you have heavy mysql use and actually made slight modifications to my program so it wouldn't have as heavy of a load on the server BUT they never threatened me with taking my account off line or forcing me to upgrade.

I am just now trying host gator, and I am NOT pleased with them as once you assign one of your seperate accoutns a domain and allow it say 2 GB .. even if you aren't using that web space they allot it for that site and you can't use it for any other sites. Sort of shitty ... Definitely geared more towards resellers, which I am not ...

Can offer 30 gigs of storage, 250 gigs bw, WHM , Cpanel, Fantastico & RvSkin.

Basically , server is shared by 3 similar accounts and a few " mom & pop " accounts ( doctors, castiong agencies, etc... )

2100GB - that's insane for shared hosting. Smells like scam.

hehe, open that file in a texteditor:

Suspended





Bandwidth Limit Exceeded
