Hi. I came across www.featureprice.com. They have the following premium plan for $16.95/month:

500 MB Of Webspace
Unlimited bandwith / transfers
Free domain registration (they pay for the registration fee & renewals)
3 free additional domains
5 free subomains
Virtual IP address
First month free
Unlimited pop3 email boxes
Unlimited email aliases and redirects
Unlimited secure server access
Unlimited FTP accounts
Unlimited databases tables (mySQL)

I know the "unlimited bandwidth" is a big warning sign and their descriptions are not comforting:

"Most of our competitors limit the number of 'hits' or web accesses your site will be allowed. We don't believe in penalizing you or your site for success! We do not actively monitor your site traffic and we only charge extra for very high traffic sites - see Package Options and Terms&Conditions for more details. Please also have a look at our Bandwidth Policies to which you are bound by our Terms&Conditions."

When I clicked on the Bandwidth Policies link, it just redirects me back to the main page. Also, I don't understand why the plan shows "3 additional domain" and "5 free subdomains" when additional ones are free for this plan. Other than my doubts, this plan is very tempting.

Has anyone used their services? Can I trust their client positive feedbacks? Thanks for your comments.

I don't want to say anything negative about anyone, but just be careful with "free" stuff. Read around the forum and you'll see how many people did not get what what they were promised! ;)

I went with thier UNLIMITED plan and it seems pretty good.


However, they don't offer shell access, not even through PHP. And java is offline on thier servers.

companies that say "we do not limit your success" are probably bull$hiting you

unlimited bw......

but also note that they have full right to suspend ur account on the plea that you are crossing the limit of system resources - typically shared hosting allows from 1% to 20% use of cpu &/or sys resources ....now I am yet to see an unlimited offer ( 100%) in this segment.

featureprice also offers unlimted space.....I wonder what that means
