What about new customers wanting in on the $50/year plan Rossman? The annual payment for The Plan that I see is $83.40--how do new customers get the $50/year rate?

Can anyone recommend a good host that's more around the $10/year range? I only need about 30 megs of space and maybe half a gig of bandwidth so even though the $50/yr plan is good for it's stats, it's overkill for what I need.

My only real requirement is that I'd like to be able to publish (FP2k2) my site via direct IP Prior to the DNS server changes taking effect so that I can make sure everything is up and running before redircting the traffic away from my current host.

Thanks.

I just received a reply from AddAction.net sales stating here's how to upgrade your existing account.

Send an e-mail to billing@addaction.net with your account details (domain and real name) requesting an upgrade to their $49.90/yr plan. As long as you remain a customer in good standing, your account will renew at $49.90/yr for as long as you're a customer.

Also if you signed up for AddAction.net a while ago, they upgraded "The Plan" bandwidth from 10GB to 20GB a few months ago. In your e-mail to billing ask them to confirm that your bandwidth has been adjusted to 20GB as well.

DUDE!!! THANKS FOR ME TOO!!! I've got two accounts w/ Addaction so I'm going to upgrade as well.

Congrats but I'll believe it when I see it ;)

dathorn is still a solid choice. Not every web host is perfect.

I'm sticking with Dathorn too. They are a good company with excellent people on staff. They have never let me down, and by some luck, the server I'm on was not affected by the attack, and suffered no failure. Even if it had... I think I would stay with them anyway.

Same here. Although the dathorn.com web site/billing/support were hosed my sites were not adversely affected.

The uptime on my cpanel05 has been great.

P4Host.com - I've read a few good reviews on WHT but have no personal experience with them. It would be nice if some AT'ers could sign up for P4Host and let the rest of us know how they rate.


Thanks...

if anyone has any questions, let me know.

  • ThrillHost.com - I am a former customer just before midPhase bought them out. There are about 2 dozen current ThrillHost customers here and most of them seem happy considering they're paying $10/mo for 3GB/30GB (an old Hot Deal which is now expired). If you sign up with ThrillHost.com REQUEST that your account NOT be placed on a Burst/Nocster server.
  • Eurofficial.com - used to be "the talk of the town" on WHT, not sure what happened to all the buzz. There is a Hot Deal offering 50% off any Eurofficial resellers plan, PM me with your e-mail address if you are interested.
  • BlueWho.com - is probably the most reputable web host in this list, they're like a mini-HTTPme.com You're not going to get as many resources as the other web hosts but they run a very solid operation, great tech support, solid reliability and uptime.
  • P4Host.com - I've read a few good reviews on WHT but have no personal experience with them. It would be nice if some AT'ers could sign up for P4Host and let the rest of us know how they rate.
  • UltraUnix.net - I've saved the best Hot Deal for last. They offer 2.5GB disk space, 25GB bandwidth, resellers account for $13.99/mo with $15 setup fee (which is new to me, I have e-mailed their sales to clarify this isn't a typo). There is no committment or obligation, month to month. If you pre-pay for 10 months you get 2 months for free. It's always a good idea to use a web host for a few months before making the plunge to pre-pay for 1 year. Server specs: Dual XEON, 2GB DDR RAM, 2x36GB SCSI Hard Drives (most web hosts use P4 with IDE). Data center: CyberWurx in Atlanta, GA which is reputable, reliable, fast with great uptime. If you'd like to test the server speed here is a 15MB speed test file Last but not least you get Fantastico auto installer scripts, so if you or your clients want to install forum software, pichosting, a blog or web site portal you can do it without about 3 clicks of your mouse.
I hope that information helps you choose a new provider. If you're not going to use more than 1GB/15GB I would definitely sign up with BlueWho.com, otherwise go with UU.
these are Rossmans recommendations to me when i posted a similar thread. good luck, UU looks pretty good to me.[/quote]



I have been using Thrillhost on a recommendation from someone for ages now, before they were bought and still today.
I had Cyberwings for a little while, but most of us know what happened there.

My plan is 6GB/60GB, and all the other goodies for $30 per month, so i cant find a better deal anywhere as of right now. I dont think you can get this deal anymore, i was part of a grandfather clause whn they got bought out.

GeekDrew - I've been a dathorn customer longer than most people here since I was the one who introduced them to AT ;) I think it's been 1-2 years.

SaigonK - Those old grandfathered ThrillHost hot deals were very hot. 3GB/30GB for $10/mo.

I've been with them for about 9 or 10 months. I think. Great company! :)
