I found this host, and god do they offer a great package..

Sooo??? Judges and Juries? What's the verdict? What say ye of this host???



PS
Have you guys heard of OCS Solutions?

Well all I can say is that these guys provided me more services then my old webhost (and that for like 10x less in pricing), I've sent lots of support emails and they've been answered in 5 minutes!!! I've been with them for 2 months and they are extremely stable. I'll suggest you try them out, their pricing is so low you have nothing to lose.

Hmmm, I am not pointing any fingers however these posts sound very strange. It shows that you signed up just to post these posts. And you only have 1 post. hmmmm :rolleyes:

heh, I thoughtn the same thing

Just what I was thinking too.

Can any of the WHT sleuths to the whois and everything and dig up more info?

Looking at the site I can only say the following looks strange:

Add-ons Setup Monthly
Anonymous FTP $5.00 $5.00
SSL support $5.00 $5.00
Bundle anon FTP/SSL $8.00 $8.00

What's the logic behind those charges?

I belive it would be to accomidate the dedicated IP needed.

That's what I suspected too however most hosts are offerning that for $0-2.

And if that's shared SSL they're offering then you don't even need the IP as you'd be using theirs?

If they were getting you an SSL cert for your site then they'd want more than $60 and I guess they'd want it in advance rather than per month???

:confused:

:cartman: well form where I am , blinx.net ain't coming up anyway :o

these guys have only 1 post and are only saying that blinx.net has great offers, a little bit suspicious isn't it :)

Something smells rotten in the state of Denmark...

Well I did signup today, but thats because I was just reading before without registering (when I saw a post about blinx.net I descided to register). Anyway you can think whatever you want, I was just sharing my experience with them.

BTW my site is gsmworldsource.com if you want to do tests.

Its a five year old company.......and it has no debts http://www.blinx.net/aboutus.php

Sounds more like some techies doing some business holding some other full time jobs. They would have perhaps picked up some servers from some company who has upgraded their equipment and discarded the old ones for a throw away price.

Anything is possible: I got a email once from some person in Europe. He offered to ship me 400 nos PII systems for 50$ each (not inclusive of shipping) And someone else offered Athalon chips for 6$ each if purchased in bulk quantities of hundred and above.

"Blinx Networks Enreg. was founded in 1998 to provide quality and inexpensive hosting solutions worldwide. "

then

"Also in September 2002 we discountinued our internet access division (except for our old customers) because it wasn't profitable and for the same reasons co-location. Here we are today providing what we originally wanted to offer, only hosting solutions which we were providing for already 2 years."


Wouldnt that be 4 years in 2002 if started in 98?

It can be four plus 11 months if it started in Jan 1st 98 :stickout:

Sorry, I wasent refering to your comment, the part where in 2002 they said that they had been hostin since 98 and they they decided to focus on hosting which they have been doing for 2 years, but if said in 2002 it should be 4

Never mind, I'm just dumb :(

signed up to the forum, duh

Hi davidb & everyone,

I'm the owner of Blinx, the company was founded in 1998 but we were providing free hosting at the time, the real Blinx as we know it today started in 2000.

I appreciate you guys interest and concern.

Hi RajanUrs,

Yes indeed I'm a tech, I'm currently taking computer science classes, not full time and when I'm taking my classes I always check my email just like I do in my office. Our pricing is totally down to earth, I'm making some good profit! how ? pay me a few thousand and I'll tell you.

Our servers are P4 1.7Ghz, 512Megs of ram, 60 gigs HD .. no P3's in there.

Jean-Pierre Abboud, but who told you we are dissecting you ? You felt the voodoo doll pin pricks in your class room while we were poking around in your website ? :stickout:

LOL RajanUrs,
I check WHT daily.. was surprised to see a talk about blinx.net thats all :)

I guess it starts with dissecting the company.

jpabboud, are your prices in USD or CAN?

Hi James,
Pricing is in USD.. I'll specify it on the website, once I finish programming that new support desk :).

jpabbound: So could you tell us more about the strange pricings for Anon FTP and SSL addons? Is the SSL shared?

Hi Toolz,

Pricing is exactly like some said, its for the dedicated IP that we have to setup in order to provide both SSL and Anonymous FTP. We don't provide shared SSL, the customer has to buy an SSL cert. Remember we have to order IP's when needed and our provider charges us a fee per ip. I'm very flexible with pricing, just e-mail me and I'll find something that can make both of us happy :).

hi.

well, one thing's for sure. All I want is NOT TO MAKE A MISTAKE AGAIN.. hence the name BTW. I wanted to know real facts about Blinx.. that's all.
