I am a very happy user of palmversa hosting (www.palmversa.com). Theyre a great company, and the owner is about the best person you could get hosting from (hes very down to earth).

However, I need more bandwith.

Heres what I need in a plan:

120 Mb HD space
9-11 Gb Transfer
CGI/Perl/mySQL support
Subdomains (preferably free)
NO mailing lists
Mail hosted @mydomain.com
99% uptime (or better)
1 FTP account, no guest access needed
Under $80 annually

If you can provide this, please email me at webmaster@gamerz232.org

Currently, I love palmversa. Theyre a great company, and I HIGHLY recommend them. I will gladly upgrade to their next plan if I cant find a cheaper host, but I just wanna make sure Im still getting the best price.


I thank anyone who helps A LOT :)

PS- Cheapest price wins :-P

The cheapest isn't always the best.

I suggest, seeing as you have had a good experience with them, why not just stick with them?

Because I'd have to pay for A LOT of what I dont need... thats why I need a custom plan :-\

Most sites that have high bandwith needs (10+ GB a month) have TONZ of files.... I have less than 70 Mb, and I dont want to pay for 350 Mb of space.

That's just the way it works though ;)

Nobody really expects you to use everything completely. Though, the larger plans are usually priced more realistically (bandwidth-wise).

True. Don't think that when you are upgrading to a higher plan that you are paying all that extra money for harddiskspace. It is easy enough to whack in another 40 GB harddrive.
It's mostly bandwidth you are paying for.

But I see you already made the smart move to posting a request in the requests forum. That will probably get you some nice offers. Just don't automatically go with the cheapest offer!

Why not ask Palmversa if they can customise a plan to accomodate your needs?

I already have asked for a custom plan.

They cant provide one only to me (because of unique" problems with my account).

I just signed up for Tera-byte.com's 4u plan :)

That seems to be perfect

HOSTWAY offres Platinum Plus for US $ 89.95 monthly with 30 GB data transfer. Somebody knows of a company that could offer a better pice with a fast upload and navigation speed? I do not really need 500 MB disk space.
