I have found cheap web hosting without a catch !!!

[Brigitte]

Hey
I signed up with these guys: Hostica.com and they charged me $10 for my new domain (1 Year!!) and $12 for the hosting(also 1 Year !!!!).
First I thought lets see what the trick is here but it realy worked out ! They did not charge anything else and I'm online with my site without any advertisments or banners on my site!

Hope it helps somebody of you also.

is there a maximum of how much webspace u can get?

 

[djchemistry]

I'm not too sure what the deal is but look here for a break down of their prices vs. space. Doesn't seem too hot to me.

 

[Cynicism]

Are you affiled with them or something?

 

[bugsysiegel]

Anyone have any experience with these guys? I used to use Interland, but they're 99.9% uptime guarantee was smoke and mirrors. I couldn't get my own site to come up about 10% of the time.

 

[Aboroth]

There is always a bandwidth limit. They just don't tell you that. Sure, might be no predefined limit, but don't be surprised if someday they call you up and tell you that you are using too much bandwidth and will start charging you a lot more or just drop you altogether. Same goes for disk space. It is just a sick, demented game.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

<< DJ there is NO BANDWITH LIMIT >>



There is no such thing as no bandwidth limit. It's just a matter of how many suckers they can scam out of how much money by hidden charges. Rather than being honest and letting people know what the real limit is, they're just hiding it until it's too late. Pray your site never gets busy.

I found a better place that allows free unlimited space,PHP, ASP, Coldfusion, JSP hosting for only 99.95 a year.
freecfm

 

[The Stigenator]

there are 3 hosts I use.

1. www.cihost.com -> check their unix specials out.. 2GB of space, and unlimited bandwdth (actually until your site takes up 95% of system processes).
2. www.1dollarhosting.com -> nice site, but 50 buck setup fee.. which is ok, service is good.
3. www.p r i m e m a s t e r .com -> nice deals for the price of 10 bucks a month. (take the spaces out.. why is that word forbidden here?????)

I built and maintain a website for my township and I have it hosted on Hostica (hostandsave when I signed up) I signed up for the $1 plan and got 12 months of hosting for $12 and a pop3 email account. It seems pretty fast and reliable. I only have 5 megs on the $1 plan and the website is 4.8 megs so I will be need some more space soon, but I could not find a better deal for hosting.

cant beat this... but I have used this company before and they are pretty decent for $10 a month.

 

[dwinslett]

I just started using GoDaddy, and they seem pretty cheap and seem to offer everything I need. I may look into this other one though. I just paid $8.95 for a domain, and pay $9.95mo for hosting with like five pop3 emails, 50megs space, 1500megs bandwith month. Not too bad.

[Knowit2]

5 mgs for $1.00 a month.

I'd call that a great deal

Take a look at them. Like I said, I cannot beat their prices as a hosting provider and I have asked David Fricke(the president, dave@readyhosting.com) many times how he does it. He won't tell me, but I can tell you that they are the best.

seems everyone's very enthusiastic about their hosting.

I just use freeservers.com....sure there are ads, but it's free.

 

[dcpsoguy]

Hey, you cant beat free hosting

 

[kingink]

Thanks for all the hosting companies everybody.
I think I will try the cihost or maybe readyhosting.






your name is dave too. it must be really easy to remember this other guy's name. You could
always introduce yourself by saying:
Hi, what's your name?
<their name here>
Oh really! That's my name too.
The next time you see them all you have to say is &quot;hey what's my name?&quot;
and you'll know theirs. Now you'll never forget someone else's name.

Was this Seinfeld? I can't remember.

Just thought I'd throw my $0.02 in since I just launched a new site and looked over providers recently.

I choose www.datapacket.net for my hosting needs. Their servers are in the UK but the service has always been fast for me. I have been hosting for nearly a month and everything seems great.

It's a $35.00 setup fee and then $4.99 a month. They give lots of emails, forwarding, ASP, 1 DSN, ColdFusion, PHP, Raw Access Logs, and FrontPage Extensions. I'm not sure if they do Unix hosting since I was looking for Windows hosting with ASP.

For everything you get, it's a damn good deal. They even threw in a forum software package for free.

The only problem I have is that alot of simple stuff has to go through them for setup. Email address setups have to be sent to them and setup. Also, you have to send them your DSN requests and things like that. But for $5/mo, you can't beat it.

www.datapacket.net

 

[djchemistry]

Well if you can't beat free hosting, you can't beat doteasy.com. For $0/yr, they give you:

• www.yourdomain.com Web Hosting
  
  20MB Web Storage
  
  Unlimited FTP Access
  
  Unlimited Email Accounts (user@yourdomain.com)
  
  POP &amp; Web-based Email Access
  
  Email Forwarding
  
  Email Autoresponder

ALL FOR FREE. There is a $35 one time fixed cost to transfer domains but that's it. Oh and if you want to complain about domain fees, use directnic.com.. They will register your domain for $15/yr.

My first year cost me $50 but after that I'm only paying $15 per year for a domain and 20megs of free hosting. Pretty hot in my book.

For the love of [whomever ] don't go with CI Host! Those guys are absolutly useless, my site was down all the time, and their promised features never came.

Just hit a search someplace like http://www.webhostingtalk.com/ and see how many people complain about them.

Yes, there prices are good, and I've been through them before, but I certainly wouldn't do it again. You end up sharing the server with hundreds of other domains, and your site will just crawl.

My two cents ... (for the record, I have a dedicated RAQ with 4webspace.com and colocated box with my local ISP that I'm good friends with the owner).
