Finding a good webhost - plz help!

check out interland.net, they're not the cheapest or the must feature rich, but if you give them a toll free call they'll tell you exactly what is and what isn't allowed and so on, no mysteries.

Well, I found Interspeed, a little more $ than I want to spend, but they look OK.

Anyone have any experience with them?

Dear Steve, try this web hosting provider, you'll not regret joining them. http://virtual-cities.net

Lastly, please read my latest threat in this forum.

Thank you
Ben

hey steve
please don't consider going to interspeed.net. i'm currently hosted with them and i'm very disappointed, because of:

- the server is often down during the last few weeks
- problems logging in to my ftp account
- some mails i'm still missing (friends sent them and i never got them)
- lousy customer service (you write about 5 mails, then after a week or so you get a message that they are trying to answer in a few days which never happened until this day...)

i'm currently considering moving to dreamhost.com. is anybody hosted with them and could give me some lines about their experiences?

Unfortunately, what you're asking for is impossible by definition. It's really common sense. You want to pay under $15/month and "no hidden fees" for hosting which includes unlimited traffic and disk space. Your web host must provide disk space (via hard drives) and traffic (via network connections). Both hard drives and network connections can only handle a finite amount of data. Both are quite expensive, especially network connections. No company in their right mind will charge a flat fee in return for services which do not cost them a flat fee. In other words, any company which claims to offer this is either:

a) Insane, and will shortly go bankrupt.

b) Lying to you. They will not provide what they promise; once you start using too much disk space/bandwidth, your website will mysteriously disappear.

One answer that I've heard to this argument is that their site won't get big enough to cause their host to kick them off. This is often true; in that case, why do you need unlimited traffic/disk space? Also, if you realize that a host is dishonest, do you still want to do business with them?

I can recommend two hosts which are reliable and honest: http://www.pair.com (I have very good personal experience with them, though tech support is a bit slow) and http://www.futurequest.net/ (Never tried them, but personally recommended to me). You'll probably find that they're a little pricier than hosts like ICOM - this is simply because they are charging you for what you will actually get, not what they promise you'll get.

LOL
I'll have two of those drives - in case the first runs out

Anyone know where I can get an unlimited harddrvie? Imean with all these hosts offering unlimited space for so cheap, there has to be asome sort of cheap drive that grows and multiplies...

While your at it, anyone know where I can get one of those unlimited bandwidth high speed connections that only cost $19.95 for hosting companies? I'd like one for my PC to accompany my unlimited hard disk.

Mr Sean,

I know you are not trying to post spam, but if you have an offer like this to someone, then email the person directly, not on this forum. There is no advertising allow, no kind. You have your sig for your advertisement. It is your reward for helping someone, not trying to sell them something.

Thanks for your time.
