View Full Version : 1998 to present - same Host!
LowCost 07-09-2003, 03:46 AM I have read many complaining and warning for this and that... I guess happiness is silience when it comes to hosting :)
'98 to present date I still have my original seven domains at NextwebHosting.com (and I say that without using my affiliate link! LOL!)
It's a small Canadian company, rates are competitive and service for my needs has been above average!
Now with 27 domains on the go through 5 different hosts, having five years at one spot for seven of them saids something about their services.
Heh, or maybe just I am too lazy to shop and MOVE!! LOL!

Jim_UK 07-09-2003, 03:50 AM Sounding good :)
What was their domain when your signed up back in '98?
Edit: I've just checked their site and found it was elosoft.com so it still sounds good - 5 years and still going strong in this business is quite an acheivement.
When I first saw your subject I thought you meant a different host popular here who have been in webhosting for 5 years :)
dbbrock1 07-09-2003, 05:15 AM Now that's what I call a review!
Aussie Bob 07-09-2003, 05:28 AM IMO, I think you should wait a bit longer than 5 years, before you post such a testimonial. Come back after 10 years and let us know how they're going then.
:nuts: ;) :stickout
Trollger 07-09-2003, 05:44 AM Hmmmm.... I would originally assume that you work for this company,
but through my years of mindlessly visiting webmaster forums--I know this not to be true...
The host sounds OK, but for the 5 bucks a month plan, they seem to be rippin' people off, for cheaper in american dollars, even though I myself am Canadian (messed up exchange rate, eh? Should be the other way around :rolleyes: ) and I just won't be even considering these guys--not to bash your hopes of having just one more person hosted on their servers ;)
UH-Matt 07-09-2003, 05:45 AM LOL @ Aussie Bob, I was waiting for somebody to say that!

If your happy with the service, no need to shop and move. There would be a good chance of moving to a lower quality service these days. 5 years of positive experience is worth a lot more than features or price when it comes ot hosting.
Bright-Byte 07-09-2003, 08:28 AM Lets see what happens when I mention this :rolleyes:
UNLIMITED TRANSFER JUST ISN"T POSSIBLE :sickface:

Hi Scott!
Good for you! I also agree with UH-Matt :D
Service, support, etc. cant be measured in dollars. I would highly advise staying put.

Always brings the hair up on the back of my neck

There is also only 5mb of disk space on that account.;)
RandyO 07-09-2003, 04:38 PM All of the accounts are "Unlimited"
It is basically the term, I do believe that most discourage the use of or even prohibit it when referring to 'traffic" or "bandwidth"
Artashes 07-09-2003, 07:20 PM Scott! Your story is great and I'm sure many users will find it inspirational.
The only advice is - this:

should be in the signature area. Check the rules. ;)
In all else, good luck in biz!

Yea it looks kinda shaky, no obvious tos link and unlimband.

Howdy Dave L!
Sure - List a 5 year domain? Okey... here is my very first domain, and still my hobby spot (maybe why it has the least amount of work done on it lately {*too busy with clients*}.
If you pull it up with Alexa you can use the watchyamacallit site on the left panel to see the historical pages since 1998. :)
