WOAH! Just entered a random domain and I think I've found the MOST EXPENSIVE webhost out there!

http://home.qnet.com/webhostingrates.shtml

$39/mo for 2GB b/w and 50mb space! NOT EVEN PHP/MYSQL ENABLED!! ROFL!


...oh and I forgot the $50 setup :angry:

There are still a lot of legacy web hosts out there, but I say, if they can get it, more power to them. :cool:

Nah, my local ISP beats them

$45 a month, 20mb disk space but a huge 3gb a month transfer, plus of course $50 set up fee.

They will even throw in an SQL database for an extra $50 a month and an extra $10 a month for CGI's

There was a webhost offering 1GB transfer over the allowed 50MB transfer plan (the plan was $25/month) for $400, but they recently changed their pricing to around the normal $2/gig, as well as adding more bandwidth to all plans.

Yeah, this is kinda true. But, I must say I have referred them, and have used them for myself...and, I cant quite complain about them.

I've had some bad experiences with other Web Hosting companies I have had to work with.

Many web hosting companies will put support inquiries on a 2 to 3 day waiting list, but we promise you will have to wait for at least a week.

We strive to make you belive our main concern is your satisfaction, but to be honest we usually satisfy ourselves.


:emlaugh: Atleast their honest :rolleyes:
