Anyone have any idea about these guys.. these prices seem wayyy too low to be for real.. so if anyone knows, lemme know..

http://www.hdhosting.com/unix.html

Site is a little slow for such a simple website. Also, most people here would say low prices and high b/w, space are not usually reliable, but I beg to differ, I would say MOST are not, but there are few out there

$20.00/month for 125 gigs of bandwidth. That a lot. :)

more than what I offer, but then again you have to be realistic.
Hows the support? Great ? Good? Ok? Or takes 5 days to answer a simple question?

WOW I think i just found my host
LOL, anyone ever used them heard of theM?

Damn, if they are really allowing that much bandwidth i would definitely go with them, i mean i dont mind if its a big on the slow side
as long as its up all the time

worth the try is what I would say.

but site is a little slow from where I am at, and there is no support link just a formmail for contact, any idea?

Site is very slow and prices are a bit unbelievable...

im having a ok time believing it :)

WOW

Rackshack should buy from them :laugh: :laugh:

Just because some hosts cannot or dare not to compete with their pricing structure doesn't mean they are a bad host.

hehehe, i think their servers are run at home or something

Two things.
1. This domain is a reseller form Idealhost.org or whatever
2. He has that many accounts in one server, causing it to be slow, but that is a HIGH number,

I say reseller

Assuming Rackshack Dual Xeon at $299/month and this is just with 1 GB Ram. He claims 2 GB. Rackshack doesn't offer Ram upgrade. Rackshack has 2 x 120 HD plus 10000 GB Transfer. He offers 50 GB Space and 10000 GB Transfer for $100. To break even, before any other expenses, he would have to sell 3 of those plans.

When something appears too good to be true, it probably is.

Oh yeah sign me up....laughin!

He could be offering these prices, because as everyone knows, not all users will be using 5GB of space and 125GB of traffic per month

which site you use to find DNS and everything?
i use samspade.org
and http://www.idealhost.org/ says

This is the placeholder for domain idealhost.org. If you see this page after uploading site content you probably have not replaced the index.html file.

...so how did he get reseller from them

and lol i should sign up with them and suck up their bandwidth
hahaha

Well, I tell you how I figure it is a reseller:

3205 other websites hosted That is alot of sites to be hosted on one server first of all< I MEAN ALOT. And if he has that many users, for 20$ each, do that math, I think he can provide atleast a support feature on his website dont you think? Or even a better design?

Think about it

Not a fan of plesk either way

how u find out there are 3205 accounts on the server?

k i just tried to connect to their FTP ip is 198.69.224.152
said proFTPD 1.2.5 at
http://hostinglink.netmar.com/


lol

and hdhosting.com when you try to connect to hdhosting.com through FTP it says idealhost.netmar.com and its slow as hell

Cause I did Hoobastank - Those numbers shows how many domains' DNS are pointed to his IP addresses.

Hoo - I have this odd feeling that you are the same person who first started this thread. Wish i can see the IP log :-D

In either way, having that many accounts and his domain was just created this month on the 3rd, hmm, seems kind of a big jump. But then again I myself uses more than 1 domain name and constantly purchasing new domain names to use

That could be 16 resellers at 20 sites each, bringing in a whopping $320 per month (16 x $20).

PayPal only payment option. Nice and professional - along with the site and offerings. Just smacks of class....

Hi http://www.hdhosting.com is hosted through netmar.com/servers/dedicated.shtml

seems like hdhosting.com got couple of cheap dedicated servers from netmar.com

Use all the diskspace and traffic you want. Dedicated server rates are fixed. Diskspace is guaranteed and traffic is unmetered, so you'll never have to worry about disk or traffic charges.

http://netmar.com/servers/dedicated.shtml

WOW i might think about using them!

Umm no they are not using reseller from netmar.com
netmar.com says it offers Dedicated servers for as low as $30 a month
LOL
and the bandwidth is unmetered!

Incognito - True - so pretty much he isn't making much money. The question is he got all those resellers in less than a month?

Xion, its not reseller, he is using a dedicated server from netmar.com
i cant believe the price netmar.com is offering!http://netmar.com/servers/dedicated.shtml

hoo - look at that price for 30 /m, it only has 32 MB and 2GB space. I don't think it's what he has

You must be new to WHT Hoobastank68. It's easy to tell... none of the older members would look twice at this. I've read a few posts by you... seems like you want a lot for very little... maybe too little. Be careful, you might get burned with that strategy.

As for this website... right... At least their not unlimited one might say... but they're still promising something that you have to wonder about. Is this really a realistic pricing matrix? All instincts in me point to no. I paid twenty dollars for 600 megs space and 30gb bandwidth and I really thought that was a deal. Now they are selling 5gb space and 125 gb bandwidth. I know prices have gone down, but come on. Next it'll be unlimited at this rate.

I don't think it has anything to do with being new, but rather looking twice on what you are getting your self into and yes, good 'ol common sence

I'll agree with that. But while it might not exactly be the fact that he is new to the WHT [as I'm sure you who are somewhat new to this forum have not been swayed], you must admit he is naive in his expectations - a sign that he's new to the webhosting biz. With time in this forum, I think his views will change... if he sticks around. Believe me, mine did after joining.

Agreed Vestirse

:)
im currently too poor to pay for anything thats all i can say
my view will probably change when i get a job...
