Great Webhost i found

Click here. From the details this is great hosting, I mean, 50 Gigs transfer 9 Gigs webspace $6.95 or $7.95 per month with a $50 setup fee. Seems great to me. I posted this for two reasons:

1. Other people may want to see it.

2. I want to know if there is anything wrong with it from the people who know lots about webhosting because if it is good then I will use it for my website.

 

sounds too good to be true, but hey i;m curious

 

Yes, I hope it is true, the one thing I hate about most hosts that are like $10 monthly is that they only give you like 200 MB storage space but they give you like 4000 email accounts and 5 or less email accounts will probably be used when I make my site.

 

watch your bandwidth be like 2 kbits/sec. haha.

 

Your probably got low bandwith.

 

I also found another great page, but a bit more expensive. Click here. Well, I emailed them with this message:

I see that it is Unix web hosting. Is that compatible with Windows XP? And also how much bandwidth does the Premium plan get?


Thanks,
Aaron


and they responded:

Hello Aaron,

> I see that it is Unix web hosting. Is that compatible with Windows XP?

Yes it is completely compatible with windows XP.

> also how much bandwidth does the Premium plan get?

Featureprice's customers are privileged to be offered an unmonitored account
in terms of bandwidth. This means Featureprice does not pro-actively monitor
bandwidth usage of our customers. Customers are entitiled to use as much
bandwidth as necessary as long as they (a) do not harm other customers
located on the same machine or on other machines of Featureprice's network
and (b) do comply with all other terms & conditions (Please see
http://www2.featureprice.com/?c=14&p=8).

Please note that this does NOT mean that you get unlimited bandwidth - there
is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth. What we have is a FAIR USE policy,
and as long as you do not exhausively abuse the bandwidth resources, there
will not be any problems. As mentioned, for more information please refer to
our terms of service. Thank you.

Well, I was wondering if anybody thought that featureprice webhosting is good or not.

Thanks,

Why would a fan film page require 5 gigs of storage space and 4 domain names? I know very little about web design but I am surprised one would need this kind of storage space

 

It doesn't but if you host a bunch of fanfilms, and a few horror movies/action movies and tons of FX tests and trailers and everything, it takes up a lot of space. I never said my site would be completely devoted to my star wars fanfilms, but I've just got this feeling that there's something wrong with them, so right now, I want this webhost. I think they look the best out of what I've seen so far. If I get this webhost I could host my star wars fanfilms here. Since me and one of my friends are really the main people in this film, we'll each pay for half of it. And me and one of my other friends are the main people for my horror movies so we can get another account with these people. And when I get cable I could host my FX tests and stuff on my free server that's hosted from my computer.

 

You can always use sites that list and compare sites. Yahoo lists a lot of them:

Web Hosting Directories

I personally used hostsearch.com to find my current hosting company. You can compare prices, features, etc. I even checked with the Better Business Bureau to make sure they were OK.

As far as compatibility with Unix and XP well it's yes and no. But to make things easier just save your documnts in Unix format. I use Dreamweaver and Textpad on Win2000 but set to save to Unix by default and then upload.

As far as space it depends. I mean he might besides host the film use the extra space to pout storyboards, WIPs, share resources (models, etc.).

Best of all he also gets MySQL and PHP use, and there is tons of free scripts to make managing websites even easier, like portals, web galleries, etc. Heck it looks even better than the deal I got. From a quick look, it seems they are OK.

 

Yeah, the site I found that lists top 10 webhost providers (in their opinions) is here.

 

Useful info.

Just talked to FeaturePrice.com and they said they allow 15gb per month bandwidth for all of their plans. Sounds like a pretty good deal. And 5gb of storage? I may be switching hosts.


Thanks for letting me know about them!

 

No problem.

The BEST host EVER in the world that I've seen is www.hostonce.com, they offer UNLIMITED bandwidth and space (yes I really mean that, and it even says it specifically on their site) and there are no forced advertisements and you get a free domain name for only $4.95 a month. Now c'mon, I think everyone could scratch together five bucks every month. There site might be down right now, but it could just be IE not loading. It sounds almost too good to be true. I would sign-up myself, but I have a contract with another host already so I have to wait another year for it to run out.

 

I've heard that hostonce is horrible, but otherwise, I would get that and I don't believe in unlimited stuff. I'll bet they wouldn't let me upload every TFN hosted fanfilm if I tried, I mean I wouldn't do that, but I don't know what the limits are. Truthfully, there's no such thing as unlimited bandwidth.

 

That is not true about hostonce...

I released my movie, everyone got about .009k a second, and I got booted from hostonce the next day.

It was a HORRIBLE experience...

Don't go with them... ever.
