Hi,
I've asked the folks in alt.www.webmaster and one other newsgroup and got one reply back.
What I am looking for is someone, anyone who has any working experience with Exa-Bytes.com
This is for a personal site for me so I don't care about shopping carts and reselling and tracking and analyzing. I want to learn coding, programming, databases and syntax.
So far they and AffordableHost are the only two that I can see in that area. Unless someone can tell me anything at all about Exa-Bytes (the sheer fact that no one has ever seemed to have done business with these folks speaks volumes in and of itself), I will go with AffordableHost.
I cannot believe that no one has posted anything about that company in this forum since Sept. and in all of the newsgroups that Google watches since about the same time.
And it has nothing to do with AffordableHost and no disrespect is meant. It's like poker...you want to keep the player who bet the most honest, right? ok bad analogy but you get the idea.


thanks!
scrooge.

wow...that's odd but i can't say i'm surprised. ok. i guess i'll roll the dice with affordable. :confused:

i hope i'm making the right decision. i know it's not a lot of money to most of you but it's a chunk o' change to me.

and i'd hate to get burned.

thanks anyhow...

I'm hosting with them, all in all a decent company. However, I am getting a headache now after trying to add a domain pointer, they say that they don't do that?

I opened a support ticket, waiting on a reply. I know I got 10 domain pointers (because I asked for it specifically when I conversed with the host, since it wasn't listed).

If they give it to me, I'll give them the thumbs up, if not I'll call the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint. Not to mention that they get no business from people on this board.

Damn i'm so vindictive :P

Think the owner of Exa-bytes frequents this board? But haven't seen him in quite a while.....( at least in the time I have been here)

You can't go wrong with Affordable, although its unfortunate you were unable to find any information on Exa-bytes. Affordable has good reviews and Tina is a regular poster on these boards.

i've seen some posts from tina on this site and several other places. there's no doubt in mind she runs a class act. i'm sure i'll be ok.

thanks again!
