View Full Version : pay webhost once a year
suprag926 08-01-2002, 07:57 PM does anyone knows a good webhost that only pay onces a year. Just like cyberwings (but not cyberwings),
and its cheap. at the range of .50cents to 10 dollar a year.
iamdave 08-01-2002, 07:58 PM WHAT??? 50 cents a year for host?
Darph Bobo 08-01-2002, 08:04 PM wow - 50 cents, huh?
If you look around, you can find good hosts that charge about $20 a year.... :D
porcupine 08-01-2002, 08:07 PM suprag926: Tried cyberwings? :D I think they have $3 and $6/year accounts! :laugh:
It would be nice to have a host that pays me once a year, but I want them to pay me more than 50 cents. :D
dandanfirema 08-01-2002, 08:30 PM I am not sure I understand why people believe that a webhost can provide a good service for .50 to $10/year. I would have thought that recent examples would show that it is not a sustainable business plan.
dandanfirema, people that only want to pay $0.50 for hosting do not understand the words: "sustainable business plan"
What I don't get is why people who want the best ISP for themselves, would subject their website vistors to such cheap and unreliable servers.

Ensim Control Panel Have you read the forum rules? You're not allowed to post offers in this forum... :)
WII-Aaron 08-01-2002, 09:33 PM It was a joke. Sorry, I didn't realize you were the forum police. ;)
Aaron
TowerHost 08-01-2002, 09:37 PM umm .50 cents? You can't even buy a pen for .50 cents let alone server space.
Please, if you want reliable and stable webhosting then you must pay for it. It's a service that people work very hard to provide. If you're interested in free hosting then please visit geocities.
People sign up for $10 a year accounts and then wonder why no one answers their e-mail, support requests and their site just disappears because the company has run with your money or has become bankrupt.
WII-Aaron: This isn't the requests forum - I'd advise you remove your offer.
Cheers,
WII-Aaron 08-01-2002, 09:40 PM It wasn't an offer... look at the post directly above. Who would be insane enough to offer anything for $5 a year?
**Jeezzz... I knew I should have put 1Mb of space and 500K transfer...***
Aaron :eek:

Reptilian Feline 08-02-2002, 07:53 AM Let's see... I think I have something... how about this...
$0.50/year hosting:
50kb
50k transfer
snailmail support
a signed photograph of our founder and CEO Ass Whole
for $10/year just multiply with 10. ;)
nousername 08-02-2002, 07:58 AM Would I be able to use the whole 50k space and 50k transfer but?? Or would you rip me off :|
Reptilian Feline 08-02-2002, 08:12 AM Of course we'll rip you off. It's part of our service! It's clearly stated in the TOS: "All agreements made by the above mentioned CEO Ass Whole will be put through our shredder on a dayly basis."
Gem Hexen 08-02-2002, 01:55 PM Even CW didn't offer 50 cent / year packages!
:eek:
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

We "oversell" so once you hit 12.5k transfer we will tell you to find a new host. :eek:

webkami 08-02-2002, 04:43 PM Well if you are serious at hosting
at $10/year
you can go to http://nirmani.net
and get a custom account
with 10MB Space and 500MB BW
TexasMan 08-09-2002, 03:01 AM Hmmmm.... interesting arithmetic there, Reptile-Iron (referring to your 08-02-2002 06:53 AM post, where 10 x 0.50 = $10). ;)
That's kind of like the woman in the drive through tonight that tried to charge me twice for some fries... :stickout
AceWeb 08-09-2002, 03:09 AM As someone said, there is a reason why they are "so cheap" and you will see the effect of that. If you need good hosting, then you have to be ready to pay for it. If you still want the 0.50 hosting, let me know. I can set you up with .50a year with this package:
1. I offer 1% uptime guaranteed (per year)
2. Hosted on my the “State of the Art” Win 95, 133 MHZ, 32 RAM “server”
3. with a super fast connection to NetZero (or Juno) on using a 56K connection modem.
4. Monitored 24/7 (by my dog).
Let me know ;)
As you see, the .50 a year will get you something among these lines.

OK can i get a DEDICATED server,
1. 0.1% uptime guaranteed (per year)
2. “State of the Science” Win 3.1, 75 MHZ, 16 RAM “server”
3. with a super fast connection to NetZero (or Juno) on using a 33.6K connection modem.
darn, the poor guy ask one question and got flame.
yeah, $12/year can be done if you are pooling. dixie has the reseller plan for $10 w/ 800 megs storage, 12000 megs bandwidth, 20 domains. well not anymore but you can email and ask.
anyway, if you get 10 people to sign up, that is $1/person/mo.
i haven't read any bad comment about dixie hosting yet.

It doesn't matter if its 1% uptime per month or per year, its the same thing

Yeah, sorry, what was I thinking.
Hello,
How some people can offer kinda amazing prices for hosting packages??
C'mon guys, give me a break... Usually it's just US$ 1.00 for merchant transaction fee, %4-7 the discount rate.
That means if even a host is offering a package for US$ 3.99 he's almost loosing.
I am I right ?
bitserve 08-10-2002, 10:48 PM Catalog.com will host your site for free for life, as long as you pay them the $35/year domain registration fees each year, to have your domain name registered through them.
RackFive 08-10-2002, 11:02 PM can offer you the following plan for $5 cents per year:
2kb Storage
20kb Transfer
:D
net-trend 08-10-2002, 11:03 PM I will be willing to host anyone for .50c per year. Provided you pay me upfront and not expect an email with your login details after that.
