View Full Version : I need Low-Cost Hosting

I HATE my current "host". They have absolutely no customer support and are down often. I NEED to move to somewhere that is more reliable and more friendly.

Currently I use mainly email features for my site, with no immediate plans for business. But expect to some day. Maybe after I become a guru.

My current host has the following available to me (when they're up) for just $25 yearly.

35mb Disk Space (more available for a price)
1gb traffic space
unlimited pop/smtp email accounts
email forwarding
autoresponders
Front Page support
Plesk Control Panel
mysql
cgi
ssi
ssl
perl
ftp
php

I know it's a lot to ask for $25 a year; but I do not require much. Currently I have 15 email addresses and about four pages (that don't really get viewed) and web based email with every1.net

the address is http://www.serviceall.org if you care to look.

Thanks for listening!!

You can just email me at dennis@serviceall.org if you prefer.

$25/year

no wonder! :rolleyes:

hehe, sorry this isn't encouraging whatsoever but i don't trust those deals that give TOO low of the price of hosting...

g'luck finding your new host, hope whoever it is is a good one :)

ps. it might also be good if you post your maximum budget... unless $25/year is your maximum budget.

If my current host had good customer support, the limited downtime wouldn't bother me.
As for my limit on price. . . .I'm not really sure.

As I stated; all I use it for is email right now. So what do I need with. .. . .. . .. ? ? ? ??

Thanks. . . . Seems just like what I'm looking for.
As long as the customer support is good.
I don't ask many questions; and don't expect to be treated like a nuisence when I do :cartman:

I'm still gonna look around a couple days :blush:

Alpha, i have to disagree with you here! not all hosts who offer $25/year have horrible service + support !

I have a plan priced at $30 per year, included with 40MB diskspace, 1200MB bandwidth, static ip address, 20 POP & FTP accounts, and most of the features you need.

Unfortunately, we do not support Plesk and Unlimited Pop-mail accounts.

If you have questions about our services, please do not feel hesitate to drop us a mail.

Thank you very much.

P/S: Does this violate the rules? I am not so sure. However if it does, please let me know.

Well all I can say is..........

I have only been using hosting services for six months now.
I have never paid over twenty-five dollars a month.
I have had four different hosts......working on my fifth.

Must be SOME kind of testament to low cost hosting.:bawling:

AnIdiot: If you've had 4 different hosts in six months, we will offer you 1 month of hosting at absolutely no cost (including all features & 24/7 support) so you can be sure of that we are the right host for your website. :)
