I've seen an ads from regisme.com, and it looks so good for what I need.

Does anybody experience with this company before?

Thanks

You'd be paying a little more than most domain registrars for a domain name and you receive 50MB of disk space and 500MB of bandwidth. This looks legit since something with those specs will not cost much at all.

Well, their site doesn't say they are Icann accredited, so they are Resellers for some other Registrar. considering the lowest possible Reseller price of $6.50 per domain, that leaves $8.50 per Year for hosting.

So, essentially its $8.50 for 12 months of hosting or 70 cents/month. If they can carry it off well in that kind of money...then yea sure its ok, because that's kind of the bare bones cost for the account specs but without support.

Thank you so much pal.

After drop me an email ask about their service. They reply me about 3 hours later said they are eNom reseller and have the server locate at RackShack.

I don't know about both (eNom and RackShack)? Can they really do that? Is that able to provide a good quality of service? (I know I can't expect much support for that kind of cheap host $0.7/mo.)

Beside, I saw another offer I saw is from doteasy.com ($25 /yr.)

Does anybody give me an info. about this company?

I have no experience with them, but at $.70 per month, I have to believe that they probabaly won't be around very long or provide great service.

EDIT- Poor math in the morning.

uhh, $100 divided by $0.70 dollars is approximately 143.

Doh.

I read $.70 per year for hosting......I guess that's what this forum can do to you- anything seems possible.

Hello,

Yes that model is possible, however it can't be your only income stream. We've done something similar now for 1 year and it works perfectly.

If it's you're only hosting plan, then I don't see any way that you could survive. You're simply making a quick buck in hopes that the customers will renew next year. If they don't, well, you're up the creek.

tomamy, you can see eNom is one of the ICANN accredited registrar. they are growing fast. Rackshack, now is EV1servers, is good as well. It's a large DC, with stable servers and fast connection. I have an account hosted in EV1servers, too, and my clients are very happy.

dont know much about doteasy.com However, their $25 /yr package, it's still ok, but it's just for starter.
