I don't know what to do with 3gb disk space but only 1gb transfer ???

Yea how much is it per GB when it goes over. Or is it even burstable?

What about sub-domains?
Do you even offer any?

Oh, and I noticed that you offer only 1 FTP account - so does that mean that even IF you can have subs, you can't get another FTP for them?

Sorry, we don't offer subdomain

host4student you still have not answered the Question of how much is it per GB when it goes over.

Host4Students.com is hosted on a donhost account. Given the huge amount of diskspace offered, I am guessing that their accounts are hosted there as well.

Donhost charges either 10 or 15 francs or European currency type per additional GB transfer.

If they're not close to their limit, they may be chargeing less than that, but if they are close/over their own purchased limit, expect to pay that amount or more.

i would like to speak to a donhost reseller that has gone over 10Gb of transfer a month. :)

Regards

Craig

there overage appears to be a lot. they havnt answered and lets look at who they are reselling. They arnt cheap.

"they havnt answered and lets look at who they are reselling. They arnt cheap."

We are a reseller for donhost. If you get over your transfer limited there will be $3 per 100mb. If you find any hosting cheaper than us (equal features), let us. We will give you back the different and 20% discount.

http://www.host4students.com
ouch, :eek: $3 per 100mb? :eek: That's approx. $30 a gig!! :eek: I can show you so many places cheaper. Check out www.aletiahosting.com www.mchost.com even www.*****.com They are all cheaper then $30 a gig and plus, at least aletia (that I know) offers what you offer (besides disk space) and more for only $10/month!

Not trying to attack you, but you asked for hosting cheaper...

Last I knew, DonHost charges it's resellers close to $30 a GB overage.
I suspect it's the reason so many peole have trouble with them:rolleyes:

It would appear to me that he was speaking to current/prospective customers.
I know forum rules say that a host can't post that "our plan's better/cheaper". Don't know where, if, someone other than the host can say.........

:D

hi all,

I don't know the rules on this board very well, if anything wrong please let me know. So I can edit it.

thanks

Hmmm...so you wouldnt object if I just buy a couple of packages to mirror/backup my hard drives? say, 70 gig each ? :)

You mean besides the $30 per GB of bandwidth, right? :smokin:

Acutally this is a better quote to take,

I think he explained that he was a DonHost reseller and as such is subject to paying nearly $30GB himself for extra bandwidth.
We all agree that $30 is too much; but would you expect him to operate at a loss?
I would question more the fact that DonHost charges such an outrages amount and gives their resellers no way to automatically suspend an account when bandwidth limits are exceeded.
This seems to be the only part of his offered plan you seem to have a problem with. I think the rest of it seems like a good deal:rolleyes:

We have noticed that $30 for 1GB is to much. So we have changed our plan a little bit. Your first 1GB will be $3 a month. check out at http://www.host4students.com

Is that reasonable enough?

Yep, and for those that missed it my last comment (see above) was heavy on the sarcasim. The initial package may be good but with the chance of running into having paying $30 per GB I would go for a higher initial price on the account in exchange for a much lower per GB, like $3.00. :smokin:

We try to give out the most reasonable hosting plans. http://www.host4students.com

Is it possible to pay by check for these accounts, or does it have to be by credit card?

Well you could try and do that, unfortunatley it would take you almost 1 year per backup because you only get 6gb per month. (even with more accounts it would take quite some time)

Our uptime is 99.50% since August 1, 2001 according to qwkmon.com

I like the way you have conducted your posts amid some pretty unhelpful and not very nice postings from other forum members who seem very eager to criticise rather than offer help to someone who is obviously new to the hosting business (re-seller)

I think you need to be very careful what you offer to your customers.
Do not base your business plan on what is on offer from the Donhost reseller plan.
Once you reach 10 gig of data transfer you WILL in my experience be forced to move to one of their dedicated servers or find another server provider.
At the moment you pay £39 Inc, for unlimited space and 50 gig of data transfer per month. You will never be allowed to use it.
Donhost dedicated server customers have to pay exactly 20 times as much for their bandwidth as resellers, If you build up a large number of customers based on the reseller plan that use 10 gig between them and then have to move to a dedicated server that costs £100 per month with 5 gig of data transfer you will find your self in the same sad position I found myself in.
If you doubt my integrity!

Why not contact Donhost and get some assurances that you will be allowed to reach the limits on offer in the re-seller plan.

Good luck in the future - forewarned is forearmed.

Regards

warning4u is 100% right.

Except from this, I don't know why other hosts cricticize a new host, may be to make some business for themself, but I think this way they can't make some business but ofcourse leave some bad impact on us as well as ruin the new hosts impression on its future customer. Though it did'nt happened with me and I wish that it never happens to me, but rather than helping the new hosts, why do you guys criticize them. First of all, realize that as they are new to these things, that is why they don't know the right track and when they read your criticized messages, I don't think they ever turn here back therefore leaving you responsible for any of those black sheeps out in the hosting business, because if you have'nt been harsh to them they would been here learning a lot.

I myself used to resell for digitalspace and guess what, they suddenly closed down all my account, I was like WTF but I had to definitely do something now so I bought myself a server, but what now?? I started visited many RaQ websites but can't get myself fit anywhere and then I found this website. So I now use to come here almost thrice or four times a day here.
I remember that when I was with digitalspace I have to wait hours and hours to get a mySQL database setup or install FP Extensions, I hope that isn't with Don Host.

host4students, I also have an advice for you. Why don't you seek for any other company's reseller plan and when you have enough customers (say more then 10) get a Server (Cobalt RaQ from www.rackshack.net or www.4webspace.com) and move over to it.
You can always contact me if you need any help or even post it in the Cobalt RaQ forum and I am sure many would be there to help you out.

Enough said, I think many people would realize and understand what I mean to say and would'nt criticize any host but would be friendly would them and would advice them through e-mail or PMs hence saving the new hosts from loosing potential customers.

Hello Chicken and Matt.

I have had an experience with this company, host4students.com, which is either bad or good.

Am I allowed to post it here so others can know?

Please pm me.

Thanks.

Zain(Winnie),

You can ofcourse post your experience with the company, as far as I know no one is bounded to express even their own comments/experience anywhere on this website. That is why I like this site :)

Hello.

Yes, that's what I like about this forum too, but I am not the type to start ranting on someone when i think I can avoid it.

That's why I am asking Chicken and Matt if I am allowed to do so.

Can you avoid it? Of course you could! Don't you mean you'd like/want to :mad:

I think you should now post your comments if just to give host4students a chance to defend himself.

Make it good, because i wouldn't like to think you end up sounding petty.

Don't forget any host can make mistakes.

Hello,

warning4u: Why not Winnie tell us his experience. May be it would be some where his fault, so we are definitely missing to correct someone.


Just a thought! :rolleyes:

Hello Host4students:

First off I would like to say, please don't take this the wrong way. I mean to help you.

Now, first off, I think you need to slow down. I think you are jupping into this too fast. Beleive me, I did the same thing. You need to do some more research on reseller plans before you get started. There are a lot of them out there. Anybody that charges you more than $5 per GB of transfer should not be a consideration unless they have some major added bonus that makes up for it. Bandwidth will be your largest expense.

Regarding your website... What is the difference between "Prepay for one year...$50" and "Or pay annually $45". To me, that makes absolutely no sense, as both options invlove a yearly payment, but they are different prices. That right off the bat would tell me NOT to order from you. Your website needs to be clearly laid out and without any hint of deception.

Another thing you need to do, is find out what other webhosts are offering for cheap packages. If you cannot match the services of other companies, you need to find a way to beat them. If it is not in price, than it has to be in some form of service, such as extras on the accounts that other companies don't offer.

I have to go now, but you can email me @ mike@paradonsolutions.com and I can help you out more. I think I may know of a solution that will get you a much better reseller account.

Got off topic...lockdown in effect!
