I thought I was ok with someone providing little support for little$, but was I wrong: Powweb - stay away fom them!!!

So, How do I go about finding a host with the right mix? Unix, 200mgs, less than 1 gig transfer a month, a few email boxes. IOW, nothing special, but want RELIABLE! Really don't want to go more than $20 a month. Don't need much support at all, unless they are down or mail not working...

Suggestions anywone??????

Thanks,
remware

If you post a query into the requests forum you will receive alot of offers.

Also try to find a host that offers a money back guarantee.

Your request sure isnt unreasonable, but definitley check your potential host out before signing up!
Drop them a few emails with questions, etc.

yep... post a request a precise as possible (what you want -- what you don't) on the web hosting requests forum. That's the best way to find a good deal. If you're not sure about the host, just do a search on the forum with the hostname and see what others think about this host.

With a little luck, you should be able to find a good host who matches those requirements and is reliable for around $10. :)

www.hostsearch.com

Very usefull resource!

I suggest that you make a new post about a host that you are thinking about going with because sometimes services get better or get worse.

Rem,

Sorry to hear of your bad experience - heard plenty of good comments about powweb, guess some matches aren't meant to be. For your search provide a couple details in the Hosting-request forum, and an email address and I'm confident you'll receive plenty providers eager to please :)

I would definately suggest iPowerWeb! #1 in support (FREE email and phone support) . Answers email inquiries within 24 hours!

150 megs of space.

15 gigs of bandwidth (data transfer)

PHP, personal CGI-BIN, MYSQL, subdomains, pop, webbased, and forwarding email accounts, and much more!

99% uptime guarentee (seems like a hundred percent! really!)

30 day moneyback guarentee.

All this for only $7.95 per month!

You may order more bandwidth and space through an additional services order form after you sign up.

I would definately recommend iPowerWeb.com!

but I find it a little fishy when 2 hours before someone post a question wanting to know what everyone thinks of a host.
Then 2 hours later does a complete commercial for them claiming they are the greatest thing since sliced bread.

So how do you know they answer their support tickets in 24 hours or less?

Monte,

Exellent investigation :)
