Who would you choose from these 5?

3nom
P4Host
Octane-Hosting
HostingWorks
BuzHost
adjkhost


...or is it whom? :D

Of those 5 I would choose 3nom

Did you try searching for them? I've not heard much about any of them except P4Host. They seem to be having a lot of happy customers lately.

you listed 6 btw

We just signed up with 3nom today. But that's all I can tell you. :D

Cool...I did search and read for a while...I also chatted with a few...No real big difference...One was honest enuf to tell me he's only been hosting 3 months...What's thePlanet? Some sort of super data center? :D

3nom, will probably be contacted by enom for breach of trademark.

I doubt it...3 is 3 in a court of law. ;)

ThePlanet is a managed server datacenter.

Nope,there is also another company called ENOMS which is technology related and trademarked by another company.

Doesn't mean anything...A judge and/or jury would have to see the whole site. In that case, he also ripped off the color (colour to you) scheme. :D

As you may or may not know, bluffing plays a HUGE part in a lawyers presentation of the law. :cool:

i like HostingWorks

Well, they closed my poll...so I guess I need more votes on this thread to decide...Do tell....:D

There's such a thing called passing off.

If the original user of the name can prove that they had generated a lot of goodwill and recognition with their name from long history of usage, and they can prove that the new name is likely to confuse customers due to the similarity, they can succeed in a court case.

Whether they would do it is another matter.

Out of all those, i've only heard of P4host and 3nom
I would go with p4host though as they are with theplanet and i think they now have more than 2 servers :D

Ok..Thanks...Anymore? :D

Going once............

Have you done a whois check on them zoobie? I picked one at random and it was registered only last month :eek:

To be honest never heard of them. Can you please provide us with their URL so that we can see the web sites.

Did you try adding .com to the listed ones? :eek: :D

EDIT: The 1800 website comment I got was through a whois check that did a reverse IP lookup to see what domains and how many were hosted on the same IP as their website. It came back with 1816 results, however Jason (from 3nom) showed the actual number and it is indeed much smaller than that. It is around 40 domains.

Now, that being said... I believe that the contact that I've had with him has been more than professional. The plans that they are offering make you wonder how they can offer such plans at such prices, but perhaps they're loss leaders to get their names out there since they're having to start over because of a bad experience with their last providers. It's not the business model that I would personally take on for my company, but I suppose different companies have different ideas.

That's my knowledge on the company and I'll leave it at that. :)

Requirements for a complaint to succeed

To succeed in a complaint, the complainant must prove that:

the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trade mark in which the complainant has rights;
the respondent holder has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and
the domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.


3nom may very well have to change their domain name at some point. Of the sites you listed P4 seems to have the most positive feedback here.

Until Intel comes out with the P5, then they will be old news and outdated...:D

I bought p5host already hehe :)

Go with P4, they've gotten praise around here lately.

Ok where should we start. First of all we have more than 2 servers. Coach how do we have 1800 domains on the server just wondering. We have only 40 domains on our new server and were not overselling. Were on a unmetered 10 megabit connection so we offer alot of bandwith because we can afford it. Also there all cs address because that goes to main support. We dont have a prioty where if its low or high all our support goes straight to our main computers so when can respond faster. We have been in business more than 2 years. Old business was www.hostthru.com which we dont put anyone else on those servers because there are old servers that we dont need anymore. Check out www.hostthru.com its still up and if you send a support email I will respond.

Are you saying we have only been in business 3 months? Check out www.hostthru.com and before that we were merged with another company. Thanks

3nom, no. I've seen some of the offers that they post in the request forum and there is some serious overselling going on. Ran a check and on they have over 1800 websites hosted on one server. Not pretty if even 1/20 of the sites that they host use even 50% of their allotted transfer.

Additionally, they say they've been in business over two years, but their domain was registered in December 2002 and archive.org has no record of them at all.

Their support and contact methods are all compuserve addresses.

Out of all the ones that responded to your request, I would personally choose 1Ahosting.com.

I still want to know why you think were overselling? Please contact me ...

Domain Name: HOSTTHRU.COM
Registrar: PARAVA NETWORKS INC DBA REGISTRATEYA.COM NAAME.COM
Whois Server: whois.parava.net
Referral URL: http://www.parava.net
Name Server: NS1.HOSTINGLINK.ORG
Name Server: NS2.HOSTINGLINK.ORG
Status: ACTIVE
Updated Date: 31-mar-2003
Creation Date: 30-mar-2002
Expiration Date: 30-mar-2004

Looks like a little over a year to me. That's assuming you were in business and didn't just have a name registered. Nothing on Internet Archive.

Maybe it's the 20GB and 200GB plan for 49.99 that makes him think that.

We did not submit our sites to google or anything so this was not tracked. I know there is some people on here who known I have been around more than a year. Also I was merged with a company in 2000 which I cant release the name due to legal actions we took against them. Thanks

He was talking about P4HOST :) I told him that P4HOST had been around 3 months but that fact scared him off hehe :)

with atleast 2 hard drives 80 gig on first and 200. So lets take a amd xp 1800 with 1 gig ram. and 120 gig hard drive and 80 gig as second. Thats 200 gigs of space. 200 divided by 20 equals ten packages. 10 times 50 = 500 dollars we pay 35 for the server so we make over 150 to load this server up and get a new server. Now the bandwith 200 gigs of bandwith times 10 = 2000 gigs or 2 terabytes. We run each server on 10 megabit unmtered line. Eqaul to about 3400 gigs. So 2 terybaytes being pushed on unmtered 10 meg line is easy and acceptable. We dont oversell. :) Thanks 3nom.com Hope this clear some things up.

If anyone has any questions about my services need stats and logins to check out the resource usage and etc.. I'll be more than happy. I contacted Coach and we straightened thngs out. Also I hope most of you realize what I was trying to say earlier. Thanks 3nom.com

Let me chime in here.

When I was looking for a new host my biggest concern was finding one with low CPU and low RAM usage and limited overselling. I looked at ten or so different hosts after posting a few requests in the forums here and doing a few searches. 3nom was the quickest to reply by e-mail and by AIM. I asked him to set up a temporary account on the box that we would be hosted on, so that I could login and see CPU and RAM usage. He gave me complete access and the status was like:

Server Load 0.00 (1 cpu)
Memory Used 19.2 %

Those don't look like oversold numbers to me. Coming from my old box where I logged:

Server Load 135.32 (1 cpu)
Memory Used 98 %

Now, that's overselling. :D

Thanks 3nom.com Hope this clear some things up

It does.
You handle yourself well under the third degree treatment 3nom.

Umm...Did I chat with you? No...:rolleyes:

Maybe it's Puerto Rican years...:D

I have a reseller account with P4HOST and they have been good for me. No complaints.
