Nice prices, but would the prices they offer be considered low (bottom of the barrel)?

looks like they could be in the same NOC as me.... ;)

The prices look pretty reasonable for what you get, I wouldn't say they were anywhere near 'bottom of the barrel' pricing.

.287ms?
Is that even possible?

By the way, check your mail.

Edit: Add traceroute.

Services are pretty good for the price :)

myithost.net is on a different server in a different NOC from the server I was using for my trace route.

their prices are not really bottom of the barrel. Hd space usually means nothing as it is hard to use much space usually for most sites. It is the bw that determines (and cost usually). For those prices, the bw is outrageously high. It's reasonable.

Zoomer. sure it's possible. Since it is in the same center, it's just pinging via lan.

PING localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) from 127.0.0.1 : 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.050 ms
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.014 ms
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.014 ms

see... it's possible =p

Guess its only possible with a *nix box.
/me kicks that darn m$ box sitting under the table

Anyone has any idea about hostabox? Are they a reseller? (How would I tell anyway :))

Hi,

I'm a reseller of hostabox.
Well, i got a special customised plan from them at a very attractive price. I must say their service is very good indeed, and they do respond in a couple of hours at most.

Well its no longer loading for me :(...

EDIT- MY ISP... Nothing wrong with them... sorry

Looks to me it is just another new host pretending to be big, their domain was created on 12 aug 2002 :stickout:

Who we are
Hostabox dot net is one of the most reliable providers of Shared Web Hosting and Private-Label Reseller Solutions for business and private!

I dunno, but they ignored my enquiries.

Scratch. Off my list! :D
