Sounds pretty good...too bad I already have 2 other hosts I'm barely using. Anyone else have experience with them.

5 hours.. but i also agree

edit: what does 3.5 terabyte bandwidth mean in conjunction with 300gig data transfer/month? doesn't that sorta negate itself or am i missing something?

Hmmm, I want this but ya'll make it sound like it's a pretty shady company. Anyone have any experience with these people?

Ignore what it says about it expriing, Globat is known for fake expiration times.

Edit - and please search for globat on webhostingtalk.com before signing up.

Oh btw guys, Globat is notorious for making you think thier offer is going to end... every 5 or so hours that timer will expire lol... its a gimmick.

The service is great tho!

I copied and pasted it as a coupon URL and I think they are so awesome because I have three accounts with them and decided to share this deal with everyone.

pretty bad experiences posted on WHT from what i'm reading...

And what's this?
Multiple Domain support ($12 per extra domain)
(Up to 5 extra sites on your account - No Reselling)

And only availble on the other 2 "Tera Byte" (sic) accounts?

So 3+/month +12 PER domain, no thanks.


Edit - the following post titles might give some idea of this host:
  • globat is 'keeping' my domain
    What i can do? if the hosting company lost all my files.
    Anyone get a refund from Globat? Possibly one of the worst hosts.
    I want you to save your life, money, and happiness: Dont do this, Do that...
    My Host Stole My Site !!!!!!!!!!

Globat sucks....bigtime!

I had an account with them a while ago and their server went down straight for 5 days. When i called, the rep was ready to give me a month extension for free but considering their server's slow connection/speed, it wasn't worth it so i got out of the contract.

Oh yeah, i bought the plan when they had big Mail in rebates going on - Webhosting for free - my ass! They lure customers by running big promotions but their servers/customer service is down to the hell.

Never do anything with Globat - they suck. Period.

That page looks like x10 went into the web hosting business. Oh, and isn't that Shawn White on the end there?

I'd like to zap my tera package please.

Hehe this is quite funny as one of our customers left our company for this one due to the unbelievable pricing. I suspect there will be an entire lack of support on their end, but I suppose if you know what you are doing it won't matter as long as they keep the servers up on their end.

The company I work for is called HostMySite and the pictures of the people on the site are real people that work there. I'm not on there because I didn't participate in the photo shoot :eek:. If anyone does want to place an order with us, mention Waive setup fee per Connie in the comments section of the order form and get the normal $19.95 taken off :).

I had globat for a professional page I did a few years back, They were great price and perfect for what I needed... BUT, sometimes their servers would be slow.. like just for our website to load, and I never could figure it out.
But if you need lots of space/bandwidth, go for it. They are a reputable company, just the service kind of below par.

Oh yea, the 3.5TB is ANNUAL bandwidth.. (actually 3.6tb)
if you look at the other packages on sell it includes the word ANNUAL.
