Signup for any MONTHLY web hosting plan or reseller plan and get double what you pay for (either double the plan, or get 2 plans to use for the price of one).
Need to host 2 domains? Sign up for 1 of our large monthly (or other monthly) plans and host both domains on their own full plan or host 1 domain with double the allotment of the single plan you signed up for.
Wanna be a reseller? Sign up for one plan, get the space, bandwidth and domains of 2 plans.
This special will run until the end of JUNE, yes, all month.
You've gotta put WHT in your signup form under your first name so we know to double you up!
This is only for monthly web hosting and reseller plans!

Hi
How long would I get this offer for if i signed up?
I think its a great deal but if its only for one month then i dont think i want it as im looking for a reseller plan to keep on for a while and i would like to look around first.
If you are keeping the offer on for longer than one month if i signup please tell me as i am very interested if you are.
Thanks

I think Gary's offering it for as long as you stay with Dixiesys as a customer. ;)
(at least that's how I'd do it)

Yes for as long as you keep the plan it'll stay as it is when you sign up.

Hi
I think you have a new customer ;)
Im just going to look around for a while to check out the other special offers on as there are a lot at this time.
Do you have phpbb installed?
I would really like to host a few sites that are only for phpbb forums so this would be a great help if it is.
Thanks for the help,
John

Hi
Just a few more questions here.
Can i let people have subdomains of mine?
If i upgrade my package in the future will i still get double the package for the normal price?
Is there a limit on the number of SQL databases, pop3 and web accounts, IP addresses etc.?
Do you have phpbb installed on your servers?
What happens if your servers go down?Are they backed up?
How much are resellers charged if the users exceed the alloted bandwidth?(Per Gb)
When ordering a reseller account is the price of registering a domain name the same as for a user?
The domain name that I want to get is currently unavailable and I cant find another which I like but some of the ones I liked will be available soon but after June, what do you think I should do?I dont really want to get a domain now which I don't like then one of the ones I wanted comes available...
Thanks for all your help

Yes we do backups, we are currently redoing the backups as we've found that unless we actually take down the mysql server before doing the dumps that the backup is likely no good. And if mysql is down so should apache be stopped. So we're working on a weekly full backup of databases with a nightly data backup of files.
The plans are limited by space, bandwidth, and the # of domains/subdomains you can create, the other things (email, databases) are not "limited" other than the fact that you're only gonna want to put so many email accounts on an 1200 meg or whatever, space limit.
It's not "installed" but is easily installed, there's more than a few posts in our forums dealing with installing phpBB and other useful scripts.
If you upgrade in the future it will depend on if there is a special at that time, this special is only for now, if you outgrow the current double plan later, you can "stack" regular plans on top of it but unless a similar special is going on then you will be limited to adding regular plans onto your special plan.
Typically the resellers pay the same for domains as other customers unless the reseller lets me know they're likely to register more than one or two and then a price can be determined based on bulk (one guy registered 300 domains at once, needless to say he got quite a discount off of the usual $15 for a domain).
As for getting those domains you want that are expiring the only kinda sure way that I know of is using one of those services (I think Verisign calls their service "Snapback" or something like that). Other than that, going to www.enom.com and checking the availability of it every day or two is all I can recommend, and then once you see it available QUICKLY register it :)

Gary,
I'd like to get a little clarification on this:
Need to host 2 domains? Sign up for 1 of our large monthly (or other monthly) plans and host both domains on their own full plan or host 1 domain with double the allotment of the single plan you signed up for.
Is this the same thing as what you're offering on the reseller plan?
(either double the plan, or get 2 plans to use for the price of one).
So say I wanted to sign up for your 'Small Site Hosting' for $3.95/mo. Would I get 400 Megs of space, 6Gb of bandwidth, 40 e-mails, 4 sub-domains, and 4 databases to split between two domains?
Thanks for the help.

Basically you'd have 2 200 meg 3 gig sites or 1 400 meg 6 gig site either way you wanted to do it.
On reseller plans, you simply double all the features of the regular plan.

Hi Gary,
If I am a current reseller with you can I upgrade my account and get the double reseller offer?

Yes if you upgrade or add a plan then the new plan will be with the special if you put the "WHT" in your signup form (first name is good a place as any to add the WHT).
