do a search on here...

when offers look too good to be true, they normally are

There used to be a reseller who was selling 70G/700G reseller accounts for only $35 a month.

Everyone knows what that's gonna be. :)

I Recommend all these hosts for Bandwidth eaters, as you can see all these hosts offer a big amount of Bandwidth

No you're wrong. Especially with those 'unmetered' shared hosts. I may say 95% of them are scam. ;)

If the price is too good to be true, then it is not ture.

Doubt it, mabye some of them are scammers but i know some of them are not.

Surely there will be some reliable hosts out there with affordable price, for example, turnkeyresellers. :)

Elven-Ranger,

Canglan is right, to find a reliable host with the requirements you have and the price range will be almost impossible, if you require stable, reliable hosting solution.

It depends what you value most, quality or quantity.

Lordo

Canglan and maxo are right. For your mental and health systems sake, do not seek the cheaper.

Excuse me? Considering we've been around for almost 14 months now, which a year longer than you, I don't think you have any room to talk about how our business is.

Yeah, I would say most, if not all of those offers you listed above are fraudulent.

I can sya that none of the offers we have are fraudulent and have many happy customers.

Elven-Ranger, if you choose on price alone, you'll end up with the same fate as your account with ZoneServ had. I would suggest if you don't have the money, start from a smaller account. Good luck finding a very cheap (and non-reliable) host.

No need to get offended, he meant to quote from the post above (like it says in his post above). ;)

By the way, I think SonataWeb is (probably) the most expensive out of all the hosts listed but they most likely are the most reliable. Inogenius runs a tight ship.

If you clicky here (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=348042&highlight=sonataweb) he may have some deals left.

I noticed his web prices are far higher than his WHT offer prices. Anyway Im glad someone else on here is saying he runs a tight ship, now Ive left the zoneserv nightmare

I see all your prices are listed as per year... One comment I would make is to never pay for a whole year up front with a new host! Perhaps with a company that you were very familiar with and confident in, but even then I would avoid it.

As a former MidPhase customer I know I would have been highly upset if I had paid for a year, since I wanted nothing to do with them after just a few months.

Paying yearly offer many benefits, with me you get double bandwidth and pay for only 9 months. Users can cancel at any time and receive a refund of what they havnt used.

Chris,

As someone who has serveral hosts and some are expensive, others are on the national "I Hate This Host" hit list, I would never again pay a year in advance to any host regardless of their generic cut from a template guarantees. I've paid a year on some, and moved within a month and a year later, I get billed again even though I informed them I cancelled my account.

All this Hosting stuff takes me back the days of BBS's - kids setting up a BBS and pretending they knew something. Most hosts I've associated with don't have a clue - just greed. I said MOST - a few, a very select few actually run a service, really have a "Support Team" and really pay attention to their clients.
Too few though. Too many hosts services are up and down more times a week than a hooker on a Friday afternoon at City Hall.

:) It's the 4 cups of espresso I had for breakfast - an no, I've never been to City Hall on a Friday afternoon ;)

I check the packages offered in many fellas signatures found in the Forums here and I really have to wonder.

Let's compare a really inexpensive rate to oh, say - yours. Both offer the same bells and whistles, roughly the same package but prices differ greatly. What is it, that a higher priced version means better services?

I keep reading that one gets what they pay for. But if the packages are almost identical - why does everyone suggest that a higher priced vesion of the same or similar package is any better than a much lower priced version of the same thing?

Jim,

It all comes down to profit!

Let’s say that you own a server that costs you 200-300.00 a month. How many 5.00 plans would need to be crammed on one server in order for that server to turn a profit? On a $200.00 server your looking to break even at 40 resellers, but we can't stop there since we are not making money yet so we throw another 40 resellers on there and are now sitting with a $200.00 profit. Time to get another server and start over again.

Should we talk about support? No I think you covered that in your other post!:)

Another charges 3.75/G Both have identical packages otherwise except one offer their Basic at 2G/20GBW for $7.00/Mo while another, 5G/60GBW @ 25/Mo. Not much difference at all really. What matters most, to me any way, is uptime, and quality of support second.

There are others that want $25/Mo for 100 Meg, extra for the MySql and so on - at that price, the sites must build themselves :)

I spent two weeks with Midphase, after outages every day that was more than enough to make me look elsewhere. They are the worst hosts I have ever been with. Have since been with Hostgator since, and in those four months have never had a problem (hope I haven`t cursed it by saying that!).

Since ThePlanet data center started offering some unmetered BANDWIDTH plans (NOT unmetered disk space) it IS possible for a legit host to offer unmetered bandwidth if they host with The Planet.

And hosts can easily offer unlimited domains/account. But BE VERY AFRAID of the host that offers "unlimited everything".

Try searching on Ebay.

Last I checked, the hosts there trashes all other competition when it comes to pricing...

Really? this is news to me, could you please suggest the link where they have posted their offer on unmetered BW.

They have been offering it for a while now, it's using Cogent though rather than the premium network bandwidth.

It's still not feasible in shared webhosting. Just one user could technically max out that 20 mbit unmetered, leaving the rest with nothing but slow hosting. Unmetered is still something that can't be offered legitimately.
