Hi, I am looking for a low-cost host who can accomodate flexible requirements which may grow over time.
I have several domains for which I want to grow websites. I would like to start out with just one domain on your package and, if things work out and the service is good, I will want to add more in future.
These are "vanity" type sites for personal interests, not business ones. I usually optimize everything for quick loading, so I doubt that each site will ever take more than 10-20 megs of storage at the most. However, I don't know if they will grow bigger over time, which is why i'm looking for a host that's flexible and will accomodate possible future changes.
I am looking to start out with, say, 100 megs storage, 1 gig bandwidth, and call it "unlimited" domains and subdomains. Practically, it will probably never exceed 10 domain names, and 5-10 subdomains per domain, if that. I'm just calling it unlimited because I don't know where it will grow to (hence the flexible requirement). Plus the usual cgi-bin, SSI, ftp, etc. Don't need streaming anything, don't need SSL or shopping carts. I do want access to raw logfiles and stats. It would be best if your control panel allows me to add subdomains myself, as I might add/delete/change around a lot depending on what i'm designing at the moment.
Email : "unlimited" pop would be nice but i can live with 20-50 per domain :) Again, probably will never use more than 2-5 per, but i'm just being cautious.
The catch is that some of the content on one or two of the domains may be adult in nature. Not hard core, not tasteless, and not pix, more like erotic or romantic fiction (if you email me i can give more detail on this, i don't want to go on too long here). I don't expect much traffic for it as it will be for a specific interest group and it will not be advertised or publicized.
I would like to start with around 100megs/1 gig, and then have the flexibility to add more storage/bandwidth if things grow. Please have good support, preferably 24/7. I don't use support often except in the first week when I am getting used to your system. Most of the time I'm savvy enough to solve my own problems, but I do want to be able to reach someone if something suddenly goes down.
I am hoping for a price that starts around $10 or below per month (you WILL make money off me, coz I don't use much in terms of traffic or storage at all, and if i do, i will be happy to renegotiate and pay more per month O:^) I am a pretty loyal customer and I tend not to move once i'm happy, PLUS i give lots of recommendations to friends when i'm happy.
Please reply to this thread or leave me one of those private message things and i will email you to discuss things further. Sorry for the long post, and TIA! :)
