I really liked there following package http://iweb8.com/web-hosting/multi/

Need to know whether they are good in support, uptime etc ..

However i think MS SQL is bit expensive ...

If you know any other company with chepaer MS SQL pricing then do let me know

I doubt anyone has anything negative to say about iWeb so you have nothing to worry about ;)

We are talking about dropping the MS SQL database fee on shared hosting. Contact our team to talk about it if you wish.

Agreed and agreed! Why change the name to iWeb8 though? I would say that iWeb without the eight would be easier to remember - what does the eight represent?

I am guessing here, but iweb.com is not available, which could be a reason they switched. iWeb's address was .ca - unfortunately it can sometimes be difficult to run a global business under an exclusively Canadian domain. Again, I could be wrong but it is as good a reason as I can think of.

That doesn't explain anything. We were asking about the '8' in iWeb8 name.

Exactly. We would have chosen iWeb dot COM over iWeb8.com for sure, but it's not available so it was not an option. I explained most of our reasons for the change on our blog (http://blog.iweb.ca/en/).

We needed to move to a .com or a generic domain name, the country related domain was an handicap for us in the market. After all I would have an automatic reflex not to buy hosting or whatever product on a web site with a .uk or .fr domain name, but I would probably buy from a company located in the UK or France without even asking where they are located if their web site was on a dot com domain.

We have chosen iWeb8 over other options we had for multiple reasons (http://blog.iweb.ca/en/2006/12/from-iwebca-to-iweb8com/469.html) detailed on the blog. Lay the 8 down and you have the infinity .... we also knew people would ask why and I think if you ask why you repeat the name in your mind multiple times and you have more chances or remembering it.

"A lucky number in Chinese culture, 8 is sudden fortune and prosperity."

That actually makes sense and you're right ;)

Yes, iWeb = iWeb8.Com, previously iWeb.Ca
