Your favorite low priced hosting company?

Hey, gang...

Who's offering the best low priced hosting right now, that won't run afoul of the SE reverse DNS look up issue?

Thanks,
Adam.


Get your dog to listen to you, anywhere you go...

Pair.com has a variety of rate plans. I use their $5.95/mo plan (which is designed for those who want to host e-bay photos) and you still get a dedicated IP (so no reverse dns problem). I've used this account to host a vendomatic page attached to clickbank. Their rates are here:

Buy my new book from amazon and i'll make a whopping 10 cent royalty from my generous publisher :-)

I've used Pair.com for almost two years for
different websites and have been 100%
satisfied.

One Sunday my website was down and I sent
an urgent e-mail. I got an e-mail back that
told me how to fix it (it was my error to
being with) within 20 minutes.

When I was at Hostway, I once had a problem and
after three urgent e-mails over two days with
no replies, I gave up and moved to Pair.


Never enought dog-related sites!

Hello,

While all of our servers run FreeBSD, and otherwise meet your requirements,
use of custom CGI scripts is limited to our Webmaster level accounts and
up.

For a complete comparison of all of our account levels, you may go to:

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask.

Haven't spoke in a while.

Depends on how many sites you want to run. And they recently changed the service so you only need the Advanced(?) account to run custom cgi. Here's the key. Each new site you put on your account only runs $1 more a month. So if you have 10 sites it's the account cost plus $10. Each account getting it's own I.P. etc.

Hope that helps a bit.

Hi Adam,

The hosting provider I am using is only $9.95 per month and includes almost everything except the kitchen sink. It may just be the right one for you.

The Tech Support has always been FANTASTIC when I needed it. (Only twice!) And believe me I needed it only because of my own fat fingers! Nothing that they did!

Lesley Fountain also speaks very highly of them as well.

Read the fine print and see what you think.

Success and Regards... Mike

Dixisys.com is offering a complete webhosting package for only $3.95 a month... In fact, that is what they call their site...


3-95.com

Running a full-bore hosting service with all the bells and buzzers is quite an undertaking. The way my host provider does it at $9.95 is nothing short of amazing. Originally I hosted a small web site with them only to check them out. Been happy ever since! Now I have CrashCourseMarketing.com with them too.

I cannot imagine how thin the profit margins would be with a company running at only $3.95 a month would be. Or where they're finding room to reduce their costs. It would be intriguing to see a business plan outlining such a venture... and if they remain over the long haul. When were they incorporated, or when did they launch their venture? How long have they been in business so far? Amazing.

The venture capital needed to launch such an undertaking as a $3.95 web hosting service must have been large. Can you imagine a banker reviewing the loan papers for such a venture??? Let's see. You're a dot.com'er and you need how much? You're going to host web sites for how much? Yeah let me run it by our Board and I'll go grab the checkbook for you. Would you like a toaster with that? :-)

$3.95 huh? Definitely passing right through the being 'cost effective' stage into the realm of "too cheap for me to trust".

Success and Regards... Mike

Well, Dixisys have been in the hosting business a long time. I guess they know what they are doing.
However the costs of starting a hosting service are pretty low. You can get a colocated server for $100/mth up, or a block of space and a couple of IP's for $5 and up per month. To understand this very cut throat industry, take a look at webhostingtalk.com . A lot of these companies are run by very young people, the place they often fall down is in providing support. It costs a LOT to hand hold someone on their first web site. You can not afford to offer much support for 3.95. If you are technically competent then there is no need to fear cheap hosting, so long as it not on an overloaded server in some kids room with a broadband connection.
However, Adam was looking, for seperate IP's I think, which is a different ballgame. As IP's are getting scarce, you will need to pay extra for them. You can ask for a quote on the webhostingtalk forum.
As others have pointed out, unduly cutting costs on hosting may cost you dearly in lost sales due to server crashes, slow load times etc.

I really don't understand why people think it is really cool to get the cheapest hosting service, since it is the lifeblood of your company. I want the best and most reliable no matter what I pay. I personally use Lazylizard.net and the Owner Jonathan worked with me and a fellow installing a script until 3 AM to find the problem. Now that is service. I suspect your $3.95 company will soon be out of business.

BTW, Steven I see you spend most all of your day posting on different forums, don't you have any work to do. You seem to want to jump into every thread and give your 2 cents, so what's the deal. Do you actually have a job or do you just post.
