-At Least 200mb
-At least 5gb Bandwidth
-Subdomains(!)
-Under 15$

Could someone help me look for someone like this?

Mind if I ask you what a site named lumpymilk.com is about. Surely you didn't do a website about the contents of my refrigerator? :D:

http://www.hostrocket.com will give u 200 mb, 10 gb transfer, and yes, subdomains, for $9.95!

Hello everyone. I just wanted to say that I am going to take the risk of signing up with ch@mpionhost hopefully later tonight for just one month. It is just too tempting. If any of what they said I would get is not true, I simply get my "30-day full money back guarentee". Well I'll see how it goes. Thanks everyone.

by the way, lumpymilk is just a site nothing much to do with the domain.........I think its just going to be a webdesign and other kind of stuff on it. (my friends are going to help me with the site hopefully) Good thing i saw about the host im getting (read my last post) is it hosts unlimited domain names. So that could mean I can host all of my domains with it. (freestuffheaven.com, lumpymilk.com, threesixteen.org). Cool

Good luck Dan. I hope you *do* get your 30-day money back should you require it.......

Hmmm...

I can't believe how much of a mistake you're making!. If you're still with them in 3 months let us know :D,

OK here we go:
I sign up only for a month @ 18.95$. It says 1 hour setup, well, they are lying. Its been just about 30 hours since I have registered and nothing, no confirm email or anything. So I email them, and no response yet. So i call there 1-800 #, and absolutely nothing. Nobody is ever at the phone over there! I tryed calling tons of times different times if the day. Their 1800 # is totally fake, they do have a little system that goes "press one to do something....", but nobody ever answers the phone. Now I guess I just have to wait and see what's going to happen. I'd definately say it was a wrong choice. I really didnt think all those bad reviews were true to everyone. I thought some people just has a bad experience, well I thought wrong. They have to change something, maybe like get a staff of more than one person. Now I hope they don't charge me, taking it that they won't set my account up.

Well, we tried to help. That's all we can do. Hopefully everything will work out for you.

dan, if what you want is your other domains to point to one account, it can be done if you host with http://www.hostrocket.com (as well as some other hosts as long as they offer subdomains). just change the nameservers for those other domains to either mydomain.com's or centralinfo.net's nameservers (well, first you have to get an account with one of them which is free. they offer free dns service.) then, since hostrocket offers 10 subdomains w/ the economy plan, set up freestuffheaven.lumpymilk.com (which goes to http://www.lumpymilk.com/freestuffheaven), then have http://www.freestuffheaven.com point to freestuffheaven.lumpymilk.com which u can do via your mydomain.com's or centralinfo.net's account.. (I prefer centralinfo.net). well i hope that helped.

damm, people don't learn do they ?

thanks to the person who told me about the domain stuff about those domain pointer whatever things. yea, i was really thinking about hostrocket.com also. But i think i have found another good one, the nice people at www.dot-com-hosting.net (http://www.dot-com-hosting.net/). They got some good stuff, and the guy told me that i can set up subdoamins and multiple ftp's with my account! Anyaways guess what. Ch@mpionHost is a reseller form SarurnServices! Taht really made me laugh. Also, it stole its "more features, more options, leaving everyone else behind" from powersurge.com! haha. OK well my plan is this, get the 1 month hosting from champhost and then turn to dot com hosting or hostrocket.

We really dont allow multiple sites to be pointed at one account, but I'll pretend I didnt read this ; )

You'll do very well with HostRocket. Good Luck

I don't really get this. You mean I'm not allowed to sign up for one account using domain.com, set up a subdomain.domain.com and use 2nddomain.com to point to this sub domain? Why not? And how would you know if I'm doing that anyway, when I'm not using domain pointers on your servers. eg, using free services like mydomain.com? What are the consequences if I was "officially" found doing this? I mean.. is this considered to be a breach of your TOS?

Are there any other hosts that dont allow this?

I think Brendan was kind of saying that he wouldn't do anything about it. I'm only guessing here. Multiple domains on one account are not allowed with HostRocket. While you're not using HostRocket's systems to point your domains, this would surely be against the "spirit" of the rule. For whatever that's worth....

Go Giants!! LOL

Hosts and admin: please add dgessler's 2nd and 4th messages to the FAQ, along with an "ignore our advice at your peril" warning. He represents a large number of sceptics here, as we all know. Adding the messages to the FAQ, and being able to say "see our FAQ for one example" may prevent others from making similar mistakes.

What I believe you will find (generally) is, that most hosts have options available if you have multiple domains. Sometimes it involves paying a fee to set up the DNS and a small monthly fee. This is to cover costs of additional space and transfer needed by the second domain.

"Wait, but don't I already pay for a set amount of space and transfer?"

Yes you do, *but* the low prices you see for paid hosting only work because people *don't* use what is available to them. Basically you pay for more than what you need and thus, they don't actually charge you for the maximum of what the account could do.

If they did charge based on this, you'd only see $20/mo hosting packages that only come with 20 MB of space and 3 gigs of transfer.

Services like mydomain.com are better for pointing your domain to the freer geocities space you have, than for attempting to host all of your domains through your one paid account.

Doing this for one domain will most likely be overlooked, but there are those who will abuse just about everything.

btw, i quit w/ champhost, they emailed me saying we changed our registration system and i need to sign up again, so now i think im gogin to sign up w/ hostrocket.com or http://www.dot-com-hosting.net.

Either you do or you don't. Get of the fence.

As you are one of my prime suspects if I decide to change Hosts in the future I'm disappointed. I would hope all good hosts set one set of rules and follow them. Maybe its time to revamp the rules of service.

You know when the cop pulls you over for speeding but only gives you a warning?

Really? I appreciate when a company is willing to make small consessions to cover my needs. I think this is especially true in the hosting business where there are a huge number of variables involved in building and running a website.

I think you just have to explain that while there are certain things that cannot and will not be overlooked (a child porn site for example), pointing one domain (although against the TOS), isn't one of your your main concerns at this time and you are willing to let that one go, just don't point any more.

I won't speak for Brendan, but I think I knew what he meant (in so many words).

If you ever have any special needs, I suggest you email the host. It is amazing how flexible and understanding they can be :)
