It also should be noted that you get THREE free months instead of two if you are transferring from Ripplehost and were locked out of your account for any reason. Just based on his policies alone, this guy Joe is all right in my book. :beer:Originally posted by: OZEE

Joe answers it here. Basically, he doesn't want to hurt Gary's business by stealing his customers. Gary has been a great tech-resource for Joe.

I new to web hosting and websites. I mean how hard is it to make one and also what are some benefits to this host?
It is very easy and involves 3 basic steps:
1) Register a domain through NameCheap.com, GoDaddy.com or another domain registrar.
2) Get a web host who will host your web site and email. HostPC.com is an excellent choice for a beginner and the DirectAdmin control panel is very easy to use.
3) This is optional. Design the web site using HTML software such as DreamWeaver, etc and/or install forums, image gallery hosting, etc.
I can help you with 1, 2 and 3. Just PM me your AIM or MSN and we'll get started![]()

(a) The streaming part is new to me ... Do hostpc.com, ripplehost.com support that? So long as I am within the storage and bandwidth limits of the plan, do I need to do anythingelse special for this?
(b) Years ago I subscribed to an ISP who became unco-operative with email forwarding etc., when I decided to switch to a different provider. Are there issues of that kind I should watch out for here? Namecheap.com says "free transfers" but I guess they mean "transger in" not necessarily "transfer out". If I would like to have the option to switch registrar or host down the line, is there anything I should be doing now to make that process clean? Any catch-phrases to watch out for in contracts etc.,?

Has anyone emailed sales@dixiesys.com and asked if Dixie will pricematch to HostPC? I think you might get an interesting answer.
All I've got now is a blog on my site. Any ideas for a site that could utilize about ~400MB of webspace and generate close to 5GB of transfer a month? If I'm paying for it, I might as well use it all!
I'm BUMPing this for Dixiesys customers who might be unhappy with this policy...Originally posted by: OZEE

I was charged for the plan I would have signed up for at HostPC and my old billing cancelled, so it was definitely pricematched. I think my quotas were also adjusted (I'd imagine they would be).Originally posted by: patrickj
Pricematching or adjusting service level?

I think it's a win. I get the deal I would have gotten at HostPC, but I don't have move a single byte of data.![]()

We will pricematch the hostpc deals for existing customers of ours in order to offset the fact Joe will not knowingly take an active Dixiesys customer. This will require moving to a Directadmin server if the account isn't already on one and a new billing to be setup and the old canceled. We'll also adjust quotas to match (as closely as possible) the deal from hostpc.

Thanks for the reply Gary, should I open a support ticket for this?

That's what I would do, remember to include:
your domain and username
the hostpc plan you would like to pricematch against
Gary, can you think of anything else?
